The process was a little different in 2020 for the Fulton County FOP 143 Shop with a Cop program. This year, organizers of the annual goodwill event are hoping for a bit more normalcy, which has played an important holiday role in the lives of local children since its inception in 1996.

Its humble beginning started 25 years ago when Dennis Price, then an officer with the Rochester Police Department, initiated the program to help make Christmas a little brighter for some less fortunate children in Fulton County.

“We didn’t know what we were doing,” Price recalled. “We were playing it by ear. We went to schools and collected money. That year we helped around 80 kids.”

Since that first year, much has changed. The program has become much more streamlined. It now serves more than 250 kids each year, providing them with new clothes and a special gift, all of which the child picks out with the help of a local law enforcement officer or 911 dispatcher.

“There are a lot of families in need every year,” said Price. “It’s not just

parents out of work because of COVID. In some cases it’s because of family illness. I’ve had a case where a parent passed away a week before we did the shopping trip, as well as a week afterward. There are a lot of families who have fallen on hard times and whose kids need help at Christmas.”

Price and his volunteer team, which includes his daughter Gail Karas, culls its list of children from local schools, the Department of Children’s Services and Area Five Agency. He noted the organizations are very familiar with the program and know the kids who could use assistance during the holidays.

Once the list is cultivated, the children are invited to Walmart on a particular day — this year Saturday, Dec. 11. In past years, Walmart has provided portable breakfast foods and drinks for the children and their families. As the children arrive, they are paired with a police officer along with $100. Together, the child and adult use two-thirds of the money on clothing items — the needs and sizes are provided by the family — as well as one toy or personal item using the remainder of the funds.

“The kids have an opportunity to interact with the officer and ask questions,” Price said. “It also pro-

Along with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and Rochester Police Department, officers with the Indiana State Police, Kewanna Police Department and Department of Natural Resources participate in

the program.

“A lot of people in the community know that they shouldn’t come to Walmart that day,” Price joked. “We don’t leave much left in the store!”

Local artist looks for ways to preserve history %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “I’ve always looked for ways my artwork can impact the community,” stated Steve Weinert, Kewanna. “Whether my wife Jennifer and I are working together on a program at one of the area schools, or I have a local art exhibit, I look for ways to preserve the memories and history of the area.”

Weinert has an art exhibit at the Rochester Public Library through the end of November.

Chuckling, Weinert shared a Catholic school sister, who taught him in the first grade, told his parents after reviewing his grades, “Maybe he’ll be good with his hands.” He commented, “Perhaps it provided some direction.”

When Weinert was in high school, he began to take his art-

work more seriously.

“I took art all four years. In 1972, when I was a senior, I did a sketch of the Fulton Building, a historical landmark in Tinley Park, Ill., my hometown at the time. I won a blue ribbon at the regional art competition. When I took the piece to State in Springfield, Ill., I won another blue ribbon.” His career in the art world had begun.

“I mainly work in pen and ink, although I do use watercolors occasionally,” he said. “When I’m painting, I welcome the blunders that occur. They force me to see the possibilities in the piece of work.” His favorite subjects are rural scenes, structures, and trees.

While serving on his hometown’s 1976 bicentennial committee, Weinert helped preserve history through his artwork.

And I look for the lines, colors, shapes and movement around me.”

Weinert finds he connects emotionally to his subjects. That’s one

of the reasons he loves preserving history for the community. “A pump from my grandpa’s yard filled me with nostalgia. I drew it to preserve the memory. When I draw, I feel I’m preserving memories for the community.”

Donation to help restoration of Times marquee Times Theater received $15,000 donation from anonymous donor.

The only request from the donor is the funds be used toward the restoration of the marquee.

The donor and the Times Theater hope this donation will inspire others and seed the fundraising campaign that will ultimately see the neon lights shine once again on Main Street. Current projection for the marquee restoration is upward of $70,000.

Earlier this year, The Times Theater participated in the Main Street Revitalization Program, which facilitated the removal of the stonework and revealed the original brick storefronts. New windows were also installed, doors and fresh paint as well. The

marquee and ticket booth did not qualify for this program.

Currently, The Times is working on ADA upgrades, approval of emergency exits and installation of lighting. Recent fundraising has secured funds for the concessions stand, lobby and

ticket booth.

If you are interested to learn more, donate or volunteer, please reach out by calling (317) 4091439 or email thetimestheaterinc@gmail.com. Mailing address: P.O. Box 168 Rochester, Indiana.

local landmarks were printed onto note cards and sold. The proceeds raised went toward the purchase of a historic church to house the historical society.

“I also designed a cancellation stamp for the Tinley Park Post Office to commemorate the Wagon Train that was making its way across the country at the time,” he noted.

From the late 1970s through the 1990s, Weinert used his pen and ink skills to render vehicle tax emblems for towns in the state of Illinois, mostly buildings and structures. He recalled, “I was asked to draw a polar bear for the town of Brookfield, Ill., which was outside my comfort zone, but I did it.”

Weinert met his wife Jennifer at the Vogt Visual Art Center in Tinley Park. “We work very well together,” he stated. “She’s talented in her own way, having instructed art and been involved with various art organizations.”

The couple moved to Kewanna in 2002. Jennifer worked for the Logansport Art Association and served with the Akron Area Arts League. She currently heads The Times Theater Art Committee in Rochester. Steve is a groundskeeper at The Center at Donaldson, a ministry of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

“One of the things I love about my work as a groundskeeper is being surrounded by nature all day. It enhances my love of art.

I see little vignettes in the landscape and think to myself, that would make a unique rendering.

Thomas “Tom” Michael Mate, 78, Rochester, died to life with Christ Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, at Woodlawn Hospital surrounded by his family.

Born Aug. 26, 1943, in Chicago, he was the son of the late Paul and Francis Mate. During his teen years, he worked for the IC Central Railroad with his father.

7+20$6 Tom achieved his childhood dream and became 0,&+$(/ 0$7( a Chicago fireman, his career lasting 32 years. He became an engineer on Engine 13, stationed in downtown Chicago. He told many of us, “If you love your job, you never work a day in your life.”

He spent summers at Yogi Bear Campground with his family. Fishing with his son, Tom always was a highlight, catching fish at a lake and bringing them back to let them go in the pond at Yogi.

He started a fire department and built a pole barn with his friends that was used to store the fire truck he purchased with the help of his friends. He always organized picnics and Fourth of July parties. He never left a good occasion for a party undone.

While working as a fireman, he owned and operated a family business, an ornamental iron shop. His “hobby” job became his full-time job. In 1989, he helped his daughter start Upright Iron Works. He worked for her until his death.

In 1998, he purchased a building in Kewanna and opened Luke’s Products and Auction. It was a place he and Luke could buy and sell items. He just loved the small town with a big heart.

He wintered in Florida, organizing many block parties for the 55 plus park residents and many friends. The block parties included a whole day of fun for hundreds of people, from elephant rides and circuses to food and games all day. He was always getting people involved to work hard and still enjoy the fun. Tom didn’t know it was work.

His passion for the last 18 years was the Kewanna Fall Festival.

He and Luke, along with his new friend Ashley, pulled it off again this past September. He gave his all to having a festival everyone could enjoy with free activities for all. This was all done with the help of hundreds of sponsors. Tom had a true gift to make people happy.

He is survived by the love of his life, Diane Mate, Rochester, who he married in 1969; daughter, Elizabeth “Beth” Mate-Bias and husband Charlie of Crown point; son, Thomas D. Mate and wife Denise of Oak Forest, Ill.; son, Luke Mate of Rochester; daughter, Nancy Boerema and husband Larry of Plainfield, Ill.; and nine grandchildren, Devin, Hunter, Brooke, Lena, Law, Grace, Betty, Aniya and Izaac.

He is also preceded in death by brother, Don Mate, U.S. Army; and grandchildren, Nathan and Rose.

Services were held Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, at Calvary Evangelical Lutheran, 1314 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. Pastor Eric Ahlemeyer will officiate.

Improving ventilation in your home Proper ventilation is one of the home’s basic necessities for becoming a comfortable living space.

Ventilation maintains air quality in the home while removing excess moisture to ensure the air inside isn’t stale, damp or downright funky.

Open doors and windows — This might seem like a no-brainer to some, but a lot of people forget to regularly open doors or windows to let fresh air in and push stale air out. Simply opening doors and windows a few times during the day to “air out” your house quickly replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, getting rid of pollutants, allergens and excess moisture.

Dry the laundry outside — We’re all guilty of doing the laundry and drying the clothes inside, and there are a number of legitimate reasons for that. We can blame it on the unpredictable weather, or blame it on the very unpredictable weather (especially in winter). However, drying wet clothes inside our homes creates condensation and prevents your heating system from working overtime. It also accelerates condensation and mold growth in winter. To solve this problem, it’s always better to dry your clothes at a covered outdoor area, such as under a patio cover or canopy, so your clothes can dry while staying out of range of rain. If drying laundry inside is the only option you have, make sure your windows are open to allow the excess moisture to escape.

Ventilate rooms overnight — Leaving windows slightly ajar overnight can improve the air quality inside your room, while also reducing excess moisture and the risk of mold growth. In summer this really helps with reducing the humidity levels so you can get a better sleep, but in winter you should be more careful about ventilating particularly because you don’t want too much heat to escape in the process.

Install fans and vents — Extractor fans and attic vents are both specialized ventilation systems that service certain areas in the home. Extractor fans that vent out into the open air should be installed in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms – these are the key areas where moisture and stale air build up much faster. Attic vents drive out the excess heat and moisture that become trapped in the attic, aiding your home’s ventilation in the process.

Consider home ventilation system — A well-designed and wellinstalled home ventilation system provides great ventilation regardless of what the weather is like outside, which is a great alternative to simply opening doors and windows. If you don’t have one already, a home ventilation system can replace stale air in your home with fresh, dry air to create a healthier, drier and warmer living environment for your family that is much easier to heat.

Streamliner legacy hopes to live on %\ $/,621 +$1'< 6WDII :ULWHU The Streamliner Family Restaurant has been a Rochester staple since 1939. But did you know it has been owned and managed by a Rochester native for the last 57 years?

In the winter of 1956, Larry Calhoun was a young 13-yearold boy living on Fourth Street, and needed some money for Christmas. Calhoun walked into Streamliner Junction, at the intersection of SR 14, SR 25 and US 31, while the manager, Bob Timbers was making a pizza pie. Calhoun asked what he was making as the Streamliner was the first place in town to have pizza, then asked if he could have a job.

Timbers said OK. Calhoun bent the truth because he was just a few months shy of 14 so he was able to work as a carhop, making 25 cents an hour with tips if he was lucky. Calhoun joked of course the girls made most of the tips. He also was able to eat all the food he wanted, which was worth it sometimes for him.

Calhoun’s first night on the job was a busy Friday night. He described it as a scene from “Happy Days.” It was so chaotic, he actually lost $5. When he went to tell Timbers about the misfortune, the manager simply said “Calhoun, I got you covered.”

The young entrepreneur began working up the ranks at the restaurant. He started as a carhop then peeled potatoes for the Streamliner’s famous fries and then became a cook. Calhoun saw the potential in the restaurant business and by 18 years old, he was managing the Junction for the owner, Chick Johnson, for $64 a week, which entailed working more than that in hours.

As the building got older, it was in need of repairs. Calhoun propositioned Johnson saying “if you remodel this place or rebuild, I’ll work for you until whenever for what you are paying me right now.” Johnson came back saying he wasn’t willing to put anymore money into it, so if he wanted to buy the business, they would work out a deal. At 20 years old Calhoun was negotiating a deal to own the Streamliner Restaurant, however he had to wait until he turned 21 to make it legal with paperwork.

After a year of owning the restaurant and the roof leaked every time it rained, Calhoun soon began rebuilding the Streamliner Junction. After about 25 years of service, they outgrew the Junction location. In 1988 Calhoun built the current Streamliner Central location, at 201 E. Ninth St. Both locations stayed open for approximately 18 years. The Junction closed in 2006.

The Streamliner Central location has been a hub for not only locals but for people from

“People are always going to eat,” said Calhoun. His family and he have been running the restaurant for 57 years now. “It’s always been successful, we have raised a family and people in Rochester and surrounding areas have been good to us,” stated Calhoun.

The Calhouns are the definition of family owned and operated. Calhoun met his wife, Gloria, at the Junction where she was a waitress for five years before marrying him. You can still see her taking orders and so much more today. Lesa, his daughter, has been working at the restaurant for 28 years and often is seen helping whereever needed.

Together the three of them have 150 years worth of experience and it shows in the success of the business.

The Streamliner was able to claim third place during the 2012 Super Bowl 46 sandwich contest with their well known tenderloin.

The contest sponsored by Indiana’s Office of Tourism Development was to promote not only local Indiana food, but different parts of the state. To add to their

achievements in 2021 they were awarded the State of Indiana Half of Century Award for celebrating more than 50 years in service by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

When asked how they have become so successful, Calhoun has three simple basic values to follow as a restaurant owner: quality, cleanliness and service.

Calhoun stated, “Every one of

Calhoun and his family have decided it’s time to put the Streamliner up for sale, they

are looking for the right buyer; someone to continue the name and quality of the business. “If they pay attention to what they are doing, and listen to what we teach them, it will be a success, because we are already doing it.”

Akron Vision Center —

Continuing a tradition of quality eye care %\ .(,7+ .1(33 $VVRFLDWH (GLWRU Led by Dr. Mark Harris, Akron Vision Center has been serving the visual needs of the town of Akron and surrounding areas since 1981. As Harris’s retirement became imminent, the transition to new ownership began in 2020 with the part-time addition of Dr. Ashley Yearling of Family Optometry in Peru.

Upon Harris’s retirement, the practice officially was purchased

by Family Optometry, with Yearling taking over as the optometrist. With the change, Yearling assures the Akron community the business will continue to offer

the same top-quality eye care Harris has provided for the past 40 years.

“There will be some changes,” noted Yearling. “We will be offering some new frame lines and will be expanding the varieties of insurance we accept, including Medicaid. Patients are invited to come for their routine eye care and eye health concerns, such as eye infections and foreign objects in the eyes.”

Yearling, who has been an optometrist since 2012, will be in the Akron office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. The office also will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Let’s study the Bible The Ten Commandments today (Read Exodus chapter 20) “And God spake all these words, saying.“ — Exodus 20:1 No topic has been more misunderstood among Christians %\ 5(9 521 than the law 385.(< of Moses and its application to the New Testament believer today. To confuse the covenants of God is to misinterpret the mind of God and miss the blessings of God, so the believer is wise to examine the word to determine the place and purpose of the whole Mosaic system.

All of the Old Testament law is but an amplification and application of the Ten Commandments.

Nine of the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament for believers today:

First Commandment: “Have no other gods before me.” (Acts 14:15; John 4:21-23; 1 Timothy 2:5; James 2:19; 1 Corinthians 8:6) Second Commandment: “Make no idols or images.” (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:22-23; 1 John 5:21; 1 Corinthians 10:7, 14) Third Commandment: “Do not take the Lord’s name in vain.”

(James 5:12; Matthew 5:33-37 and 6:5-9) Fourth Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath Day.” This is not repeated anywhere in the New Testament for the church to obey today. Keeping the Sabbath is mentioned in Matthew 12, Mark 2, Luke 6, and John 5; but these all refer to the people of Israel and not to the church. Colossians 2 and Romans 14-15 teach believers should not judge one another with reference to holy days or Sabbaths. To say a person is lost or unspiritual for not keeping the Sabbath is to go beyond the bounds of Scripture.

Fifth Commandment: “Honor your father and mother.” (Ephesians 6:1-4) Sixth Commandment: “Do not murder.” (1 John 3:15; Matthew 5:21-22) Seventh Commandment: “Do not commit adultery.” (Matthew 5:27-28; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, 6:920; Hebrews 13:4) Eighth Commandment: “Do not steal.” (Ephesians 4:28; 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12; James 5:1-4) Ninth Commandment: “Do not

bear false witness.” (Colossians 3:9; Ephesians 4:25) 10th Commandment: “Do not covet.” (Ephesians 5:3; Luke 12:1521) Notice these “summaries of the law” in the New Testament; not one of them mentions the Sabbath: Matthew 19:16-20; Mark 10:17-20; Luke 18:18-21; Romans 13:8-10. Of course, the “New Commandment” of love is the basic motivation for the Christian today (John 13:34-35; Romans 13:9-10). This love is shed abroad from our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5), so we love God and others, and therefore should need no external law to control our lives. The old nature knows no law, and the new nature needs no law.

The Sabbath was God’s special day for the Jewish people under the old covenant; the Lord’s Day is God’s special day for the church under the new covenant. The Sabbath symbolizes salvation by works: six days of labor, then rest; the Lord’s day symbolizes salvation by grace: first rest, and then the works follow. The Sabbath, the sacrifices, the dietary laws, the priesthood, and the tabernacle services were all done away with by the death, burial, and resurrection of the Jewish Messiah — Jesus Christ is our Savior.

An opossum is a fat, OUTDOOR NOTES furry animal about the size of a pet cat.

The fur on a possum’s body is gray, on its face it’s white. Its nose is long

By Neil Case and pointed, and its head is white. Its legs are short, its tail is long and hairless. It has five toes on each foot. More often than not, an opossum is called just possum.

A female possum has a pouch and young possums are born in the female’s pouch. A female has one, sometimes two broods in a year and 12, even 13 or 14 young in a brood. But a female doesn’t have that many teats. Newborn opossums, as many as can, get a hold on a teat and don’t let go until they are old enough and big enough to leave the pouch and begin eating solid food. It seems cruel but young that don’t get a hold on a teat starve.

When old enough for solid food, young possums let go of their mother, climb outside her body and up onto their mother’s back.

When the young are on a mother possum’s back, she curls her tail up over them and they curl their tails up around her tail. A female possum with three, four, five young on her back, her tail curled up over them, their tails curled around their mothers is a sight to behold, a sight I’ve only seen a few times.

Possums are animals of the night. They take shelter during the day and in inclement weather in the thick foliage of tall trees, often high in a tree, 50, 70, 80 feet up. They also take shelter in the deserted dens of other animals, in openings under farm outbuildings, shelter of a tall tree, often high up in the tree, 60, 70, 80 feet up, until after dark. They also rest during the day in cavities beneath farm outbuildings, in hollow trees or logs and in culverts.

Possums eat almost anything,

fruits, vegetables. They kill and eat rats and mice and other small animals. They eat eggs and insects. They eat carrion.

The possum I’m familiar with, the one I write about, is often called the Virginia possum. Its range is eastern and central U.S., from the most northern states of the U.S., south of Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico and west to the Rocky Mountains.

A few days ago, I had a close encounter with a possum. We have an area of our front yard fenced to keep raccoons and woodchucks, skunks and other animals out. It doesn’t work. Raccoons get in regularly and at least once a skunk got in. One of our dogs found the skunk and it was days, weeks and many baths before we finally got rid of the smell.

A few days ago, a possum got into the fenced area of our yard.

One of our dogs saw the possum and caught it. I saw the dog with the possum, grabbed the possum by the tail and tried to lift it to throw it over the fence. The possum didn’t struggle. It was limp, playing possum, as they say. But the dog struggled. When I lifted the possum, the dog came with it. I had a dead weight, the possum, and a very live weight, the dog. Together the possum and dog were too heavy for me to throw over the fence.

Finally, after what seemed like a long time, I got the possum to the top of the fence, then over it. At that point, I let go and as the possum began to fall, on the other side of the fence, the dog let go and the seemingly lifeless possum fell to the ground, outside the fence. When I let go of the possum and it began to fall, outside the fence, the dog also let go and fell, inside the fence.

And now I have experienced a possum playing possum.

Girl Powered Workshop at Caston Elementary The inaugural Caston Robotics Girl Powered Workshop took place Tuesday, Oct. 12, with 26 girls in attendance.

According to Caston Robotics director Jamie Taylor, “the purpose of the workshop was not to push the old ‘girls are better than boys’ joke that constantly is said, but instead to engage and empower the girls to look at the numerous opportunities that are available to them within the world.”

“Yes, STEM will have a huge factor in the future,” Taylor continued, “but there are so many industries that use just a small part of STEM that girls can be involved in. There are technologies that haven’t even been invented yet that could very well be done by a girl that attended our workshop. The one lesson I wanted the girls to walk away from is that girls don’t need technology, but technology needs girls. The world needs multiple ideas and ways of thinking to become a much better place.”

During the one-day workshop the girls were able to construct catapults to launch pom-poms, and also build lava lamps out of everyday household materials.

The REC Foundation provided Caston with some “Girl Powered”

swag the students were able to take home with them.

County Farm Bureaus offering $10,000 reward Four county Farm Bureaus have created a $10,000 reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved in a string of barn fires across northern Indiana.

Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall county Farm Bureaus each contributed to the fund. Together, these counties have experienced at least 12 barn fires – each under investigation for arson – since the beginning of this year. All but one of the fires has occurred since April.

Many of the fires happened within a short distance of each

other and in a close timeframe.

The property owners have not only lost their barns, but also equipment, hay and livestock.

“The county Farm Bureaus hope that offering a large reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward and put an end to the damage and destruction that local farmers are experiencing,” said Lynn Loucks, Elkhart County Farm Bureau president.

He added, “We hope a reward will help catch the arsonist sooner. The county farm bureaus want to protect the farming community and prevent any more barns from being targeted.”

The reward is limited to information that leads to a conviction of criminal arson committed on land zoned for ag/farm structures in Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, and Marshall counties.

It will remain available until the parties responsible are found.

The complete program rules and details can be found by contacting the Elkhart County Farm Bureau office.

Anyone with information about the fires should contact Detective Bob Smith at (574) 891-2352 or email the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department’s tip line at ECSDTipLine@ elkhartcountysherriff.com.

Mason. Alivia. Xzavier.

10.30.18 Three years ago our family of 6 was whole, healthy, happy, and planning for Halloween.

Our children were so excited to dress in their latest costumes and collect as much candy as humanly possible. How is it that in a blink of an eye, we went from planning their costumes to planning their funeral? How is it possible that our children were killed as they attempted to board their school bus? Why did the driver not stop for the extended school bus arm and kill our beautiful children? How is it possible that only minutes before, our kids were laughing, filled with excitement and full of life? How could it be that our 9 year old, Alivia and our 6 year old twins, Mason & Xzavier would never be coming home? Why . . . oh God, why did our children have to die that day?

We have spent the last three years in unbearable pain, living with a loss that cannot be filled. We have counted every single day without you and know that it's three years closer until we are reunited and can see your beautiful faces. What we wouldn't give to wrap you in our arms, kiss your sweet faces and tell you we love you, just one more time.

We have had to celebrate several birthdays and holidays without you over the last three years. But while we can't celebrate with you . . . we celebrate for you because you deserve it. We will always celebrate you and your lives.

Over the last three years, we are still learning how to live without you. We are still learning about acceptance, not of your deaths (or the cause), but about the real, true depth of our grief. We are still learning to embrace the grief, just as we embrace the happy memories. We are still learning that in our hearts, you fully exist, are alive and are whole.

Although you are not physically here with us and we cannot touch or hold you, we always feel your love and warmth. You are so far away yet so close to us. Your spirits live loudly among us. Your memories keep us going and we can still hear your laughter. We are still learning how to live with this pain and walk in grace.

To our 3 angels, thank you for being the best part of our lives. We lost part of ourselves when you left, but we are comforted to know you are together and home with Jesus.

Mason, Alivia, Xzavier, our babies you'll always be. We miss you and love you.

Mason Thomas Ingle & Xzavier Patrick Ingle (03/28/12-10/30/18) Mason & Xzavier were born as preemie babies, entering the world at 29 weeks, weighing just over 3 lbs. each.

They were small but mighty, and that’s how they lived their lives.

Mason was quiet, soft spoken, and shy but curious about the world around him. He, just like Alivia, was a sweet and gentle soul. He was so observant, loved to learn new things and explore outdoors. Mason’s favorite colors were red and yellow and he loved Pikachu.

Mason was 100% a mommy’s boy and loved it when we did “Mason & Mommy selfies” on Snapchat. This was an absolute must for us! I loved capturing all the silly faces, filters, and laughs with him. While it was one of our favorite things to do, I never knew these would one day be beautiful memories he left with me to cherish.

Mason was selective with who he opened up to, but if you were lucky enough, you remember his tiny, sweet voice. Alivia and I were Mason’s best friends and I will forever cherish that.

Xzavier was a daddy’s boy. His daddy’s shadow, his “mini me”. He loved being outside, riding bikes, using tools to build things, and playing with his friends. He was sweet, smart, caring, stubborn at times and extremely independent.

Any chance he got to photobomb a picture, he would, just to make everyone smile!

Xzavier was a little comedian and just loved to make people laugh! His humor and personality were much beyond his age. I will always cherish his laughter and bright smile!

Xzavier’s favorite colors were blue and green and he was obsessed with Pete the Cat. He was so kind and caring and truly loved others with all his heart. His best times in life were when he was surrounded by his friends and family.

The last Mother’s Day card Xzavier gave me said “Happy Mother’s Day, Mommy, I love you . . . and Daddy too”.

Exact proof that he was Team Daddy, all the way!

Mason & Xzavier watched everything their daddy did and wanted to follow in his footsteps. We bought them a power wheels car and they were so excited to drive it around the yard. The following day, the twins got into their daddy’s tools, jacked up the power wheels and literally took the entire car apart! Just like daddy did, when he was working on the cars.

Mason & Xzavier were inseparable. They shared many common interests such as monster trucks, helping daddy outside, playing video games, cleaning with mommy, and eating endless amounts of food. They were our little blonde hair, blue eyed babies. Together forever, literally from the womb, through life and to their journey to Heaven.

I am comforted to know that you are safe with Alivia and home with Jesus.

You are loved and missed by me, daddy, & Selena.

Alivia Faith Stahl (12/22/08-10/30/18) Alivia was my best friend, my twin, my “mini me”, and she always wanted me to know how much she loved me. We shared that same big smile, you know, the one that took up your entire face! Her smile was like sunshine! Alivia had my fire, my passion and personality, she was sarcastic but she was tender and loving on the inside. She was a kind and gentle soul, one who loved to smile and make others happy. She was wise beyond her years, and possessed a caring and nurturing heart. I’d give anything to hear her infectious and beautiful laugh again.

Alivia LOVED to bake and be in the kitchen. She made the best cookies and burritos. She enjoyed binge watching anything from Twilight to Teen Mom with me to watching Disney shows with her brothers. She was so excited to be in the same school as her big sister, Selena. Alivia was a great student, a friend to many and loved playing softball. She loved Justice clothing and big JoJo bows in her hair. She had such a creative mind and I have no doubt she would have led a beautiful life.

Alivia was so proud to be a big sister to Mason & Xzavier and had been since they were born. She lovingly referred to them as “the brothers” and she had always been their protector. Even as a toddler, she was right by my side, helping to get diapers, wipes, toys, or anything they needed. Mason & Xzavier were the apple of her eye and they just gravitated to each other. Alivia had always been so patient, attentive and just understood her brothers. She was their sister, their friend, their teacher, their second mommy, their guardian.

Protecting Mason & Xzavier was her greatest achievement, walking hand in hand in life and now in Heaven with Jesus.

Mama’s, we always made the best team. You and I. You take care of “the brothers”. I’ve got Selena and Shane.

I love you and miss you, Alivia Faith.
