Hey cousins. I love each of you. And I loved your mom. She was my favorite aunt, both sides of my family . And she was more than that. Maybe because she was younger and so fun. Bouncing around in the back of her 4 runner with the huge labs. Bishop memories are clear as a bell to me. Some of my clearest memories as a child. Fishing with Rick, Kyle, and brooks. Kerry would do “this little piggy went to market” on my feet every early morning I got up and my parents were still asleep. And then in Reno with you girls. Beautiful, extremely smart and thoughtful girls. Just like your mom! Working in your dads sewing shop. could list many many memories. But in the end I just loved your mom, and think so highly of her. And I love you 4. Love Lane.

May peace be found, embodied and understood, as these lessons of life and death teach us greatly of the beauty of what it is to be alive, to share family and community.

From the earliest days I can remember, I recall Kerry's devotion to being the best mother she could be. I grew up with Erin and Shaelyn, and long before our parents got together, we would have playdates. She truly was a cool mom, giving love with her whole heart, while also instilling discipline and good values.
While us kids were busy rollerskating and riding bikes around the neighborhood, playing Mario Party or Super Monkey Ball, and making up stories about the lives of hermit crabs, Kerry would be preparing snacks and a home-cooked meal for us. When we sat down to eat, she was always delighted to hear the silly stories we had to share about our afterschool adventures.
Kerry not only helped her own children align their moral compasses, but she did so for me as well. I recall one time I was told I can only come over if I don't bicker and fight with my sister. This was a bit of a turning point in the way Alex and I treated each other; I wanted to be a good big sister the way Erin was to Shay.
The past several years were hard for Kerry and those in her life, of course. But she still made sure to continue sharing smiles, stories, and the best hugs. When we would hug I would feel pure love radiating through us, as if all good times were celebrated and all hardships were nurtured for that brief moment. And I could see that same feeling of bliss when she'd eat a cookie or another one of her favorite sweet treats.
I will miss Kerry dearly and am grateful to have had her in my life. All the best to those of you who knew her. May her motherly love live on through all of us.
