Chelsea Lynn Koch: 11/16/87 - 9/8/05

=cool Hey Chels! This is my first time doing this thing but bear with me. You know the Giving Tree book that I gave you for your birthday many moons ago. Well the other day i was watching Reno 911 and they had a book donation box set up for the children and someone took a crap in it. Well Weigel and Lt. Dangle (the one that wears the short shorts) were trying to clean them off and stuff and the first one they pulled out was the giving tree. Dangle was really pissed cause the Giving Tree was one of his favorite stories, and for some reason it all reminded me of you. Not the crapping on books part, but the Giving Tree part. I miss you tons and think about you a lot. Everytime I go home to Asheville, I stop at that spot on the parkway and look out over the mountains and I know that your there lying in the vallies and running your hands over the ridges. I love you sooooooooooo much!

it's all snowy and i am thinking about chelsea this mornin' - missin' her like always. love to all, peace.

Thanks for watching over me on my trip. You would have really enjoyed everybody. I know you were there laughing with me in spirit. We are related to a lot of crazy people. I love you and miss you with all my heart.

watch over him...you know who I'm talking about. ;)

I can't even express how much I miss you. I always think back to that last day that I saw you. You looked me straight in the eye and told me how proud you were of your infamous monkey suit video. I miss you every day. I loved your spirit. I loved running into you everywhere. Downtown doesn't feel the same at all without you. The world feels a little more grey and alot more lonely without you. I love you. I can't believe that you're gone.

Hey Hunny Darlin! ;) I am just sitting in "HawkQuest" here at the old N.B! I just thought I would drop you a note to tell you I Miss You! I think of you daily and wish that you were here for me to call, even though I never really did when you were here! Love You Bunches....

hey Chels...missing you like crazy here..I could really do some dancing on top of your car right about now...haha. I think about you everyday, kiddo...I love you...

Chelsea... it's been a while since I last saw you, I think it was 8th grade? Horrible way to hear from you... I guess there's nothing really for me to say since you're already gone, but I honestly thought you were radical back in 8th grade.

Hey Chels. So 15 more days and I get to go visit mom. I'm so excited. I know that you'll be traveling with me but I wish that you were there physically. I think that the only way I could stand a 12 hour plane ride would be to have you sitting next to me. I'm sure we would have found something to do to keep us occupied. Well I hope you are haivng fun. You need to visit some of your friends at school, they need you right now. I love you Chachie!

:D Happy 2006 Chelsea! I had a great New Years. If you were still in Asheville I know you wouldn't have missed the fireworks downtown. It was a great show from the top of a parking deck surrounded by a bunch of old drunk people! I'm sure you wouldv'e found it hilarious. Just thinking of you and your priceless smile. It is nice to be able to write to you. i miss you. love and peace! carla

Happy New Year Chelsea. Everyone is starting school back in a few hours here and it seems so much to me that I want to wake up from this bad dream and wish to know that others were seeing your beautiful face tomorrow in another day of school. I hope that this new year brings so much to you and yours- I cant honestly say that I would wish for this year back again but it was the year that I last saw your face and its not going to be easy to move past that. I learned from a friend today that simply moving on doesn't mean forgetting. I love you- I miss you .. Hope New Years activities were incredible with God- I am sure between the two of you that alot of socks were rocked off! Mwuah- Thinking of you constantly- Ash

When we two parted In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this. The dew of the morning Sunk chill on my brow— It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. Thy vows are all broken, And light is thy fame; I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame. They name thee before me, A knell to mine ear; A shudder comes o'er me— Why wert thou so dear? They know not I knew thee, Who knew thee too well— Long, long shall I rue thee, To deeply to tell. In secret we met— In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee?— With silence and tears.
