Dear Ben & Terri, Tonight I am having a Stella and thought of you two. May this time of year bring you peace and happiness. I am very thankful to have you both come into my life (on Christmas Eve 2011 with pizza at Desert Dougs)in the beautiful downtown Dateland, AZ. We had a lot of good times and hope all is going well with both of you. I am now working maintenance electrician in a potato chip manufacturing facility in Hermiston, Oregon - Off the road and hope to slow down a bit. Give me a call some time 1-801-755-6555. May God bless you both in all that you do. Hope to see ya again sometime- Love ya - Don dj1234519@yahoo.com

To Kristine's family, My father's ashes were recently interred at Los Gatos Memorial Park, and since then we have regularly place flowers in Kristine's vase. Just thought you should know that others mourn with you although I never knew Kristine.

Ben & Teri:

Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as Sept. 11th again approaches.

I just missed you this summer in ND. Hope you'll be there in 2005.

Love Ya, Faye

Hi, Kristine,

I saw your dad and Terri last week over the 4th of July in Towner. There was a whole bunch of Swearsons everywhere. I know you probably dropped by for a while to check things out.

I think all of us these days are appreciating family and friends a little more. When all is said and done, thats where the real joy is found.

Thinking back, I now wish we had taken the time to say a prayer for you. Sorry. You know we have prayed for you many times these past 3 years.

We miss you and we love you, girl!

I cannot forget how proud Ben, Kristine's father was, when he heard of her new job at Cantor-Fitzgerald. (I was a computer contractor at PacifiCare with Ben, in Cypress California, in 2001.) Kristine was bright, beautiful and vivacious, from all that I know of her.

Ben is a loving father, still.

May God help us to live and enjoy the gift of life.
