4. 30 Years Have Come and Gone
I Can’t believe you’ve been gone so long
Everyday that passes I think of you still
Remembering you, I always will
YOU’VE missed so much and WE’VE missed YOU so
There are still days that are filled with sorrow
But mostly you`re remembered in fond memory
Each of us thinking of you in our private reverie
We know every day you`re watching us still
But we wish you were here with us and we always will
Keep watching over our family, the old and the young
Until up in heaven once again we are one
We Love and Miss You DAD!

11. You never got to see any of your
grandchildren... So here they are

12. This is Danae
She was born
The year you
Passed away
She will be 30
In July . She
is named
after you and
mom

13. Next is Breanna, who is now
Married with a litte girl of
her own-The first wedding
Of all of your grand kids

15. Next is Cavelle
Who is as unique
As her name-She
Is only 12 days
Older than your
Name sake, who
Is your next
grandchild

16. This is Daniel Frank Bieker the 3rd
Daniel was born on November 17/91
The same day you were born
He was the first grandson, so I could
only name him after you-his Grandpa

17. Dylan is next, the last child of
Dan Jr’s family. Handsome ,
Sweet, and a little bit wild like
His Dad

18. Brendan is my middle
child-Lot’s of red hairhad quite the temper
when he was little. Now
he’s my angel(probably
not, but he is to me)

20. Dad, meet Jordan, Tami’s first boy
Jordan is my Godson. He was one that
liked to tease (I think it’s because he
had 3 older sisters), and now he still
likes to tease, but has grown up to be a
wonderful young man

21. LAST BUT NOT LEAST
The baby of Tami’s family
This is Kiki(Kiara)
I think Kiki looks the most like
Tami-I don’t know if everyone
Agrees, but that’s what I think
She is growing up so fast, it’s
To believe! I still think of her as
A baby, because it seems like
Yesterday when she was one.

22. Finally, here is Cody, the last of your grandchildren
He’s the baby, so he’s spoiled, just like I was
Cody was born early, so he was very small and was in the hospital a long
Time. You would never know it today. I always thought that you were
There watching out for him.
Growing up with older
Brothers and cousins,
Cody thought he was a
teen by the time he was 5.
He always wanted to do
what they were doing.
Now that he is a teenager,
He thinks he’s an adult
(ha, ha ha)

23. You’ve not only missed your
Grandchildren, but now there’s
One more little person to meet.......

24. This is Jyrsie, your first great
grandchild. She is the sweetest little
girl EVER! She brings joy to
everyone’s hearts, and no one can
get enough of our little Jyrsie girl!

25. While you’re up in heaven watching over us, make sure you say hello to all of
the other people who are missed. Grandma and Grandpa Tondevold,
Grandma Bieker, Uncle Vern, Uncle George, Aunty Kaye, Uncle Cork,
Auntie Deanie, Uncle Morris and the many other members of our family.
Say hello to Mr. Stewart, and Mr. And Mrs Maurik(‘Big’ Mauriks), and all the
other friends that have joined you up in heaven.
Don’t forget our pets Kiki and Mischief, and Midnight, and all of the animals
that our families have lost. Take care of them, and give them a treat.
We all love you and miss you Dad!
Always keep watching over us!
Love Kerri
