I love this letter from my uncle...I thought I would share

Update about my Father, Webster F. Kellogg's passing. September 1, 1916 to January 25th, 2009. 92 years old!

About 1:30 PM today, mother and dad were about to eat their lunch when dad said he didn't feel good. Mother suggested that he go and lie down on the couch, and he did. A few minutes passed and she went in to the living room to ask him if he wanted an aspirin. He said no and that his chest hurt. Then, he slumped over on the couch and she could not get any response from him. This was about 1:50 PM. She called Dennis first and then Jerilyn who called 911. I was called about 2:00 PM. We got ready to go to the farm and while Sue was finishing getting ready, I quickly e-mailed some of you at 2:09 PM and then we left.
I apologize for not personally contacting each of you by telephone as I was in a hurry to get to the farm. Sue tried to call some of you by cell phone but the phone battery went down driving over there.
When we arrived at the farm about 2:30 PM, the EMT ambulance-search and rescue and Michigan State police were already in the house. Dennis & Linda, their son Jason, Jerilyn & Gary and daughter Janel and Trent Reynalds. Dad was laid out on the living room floor where the medical team had placed him. They said that there was no pulse in him when they first arrived. I guess the time of death was about 1:45 PM.
All of us that were there got to see dad for a few minutes before the medics carried him out to the ambulance. They were going to take him to the Gratiot Community Hospital in Alma for the medical examiner to issue a death certificate. Sue and I will be going to the hospital tomorrow and then relay dad's final wishes to the funeral director.
As per dad's direction, he will be cremated in a day or two and then sometime this spring, in warmer weather, we will hold a celebration of his life with all that wish to come.
He got to live in the same house and on the same farm that he loved-for his whole life. He and his mother, Ruth Kellogg, moved onto the farm about 1928 or 1929 and he did not leave it until today! He was not in any pain except for the final moments. He died in his own bed-so to speak. We all should be so lucky!
I know that all of you have pleasant memories of my father, Webster F. Kellogg and that all of you will cherish those memories for years to come. He lived a long and useful life and showed all of us the way to live- and to die. Do it under your own terms!
He was in about the same physical condition the last few days as he has been all fall. Quite remarkable for his age and health.
We all knew his death was coming so we are not 'just shocked' . Mother was and is taking dad's death quite well this evening. Denise is staying with her tonight.
We can all be prepared but never ready.

Thank you all for the condolences.
Harold G. Kellogg

My Grandpa Kellogg.....I love you

My sweet adorable grandpa who was 92 years old went to be with Jesus yesterday afternoon. He was at home and my dad said he was probably gone before he even laid on the couch (the perfect way to go). I was truely blessed to have him in my life the past 33 years. He and I would love to sit and have coffee together. I am so thankful that something inside of me told me to take the family and visit him last Monday (MLK day). Here is the last pictures I have of him..... Waiting until summer to do his memorial service. My grandma seems to be doing well. She has not had a mini stroke yet so they think she will not... (she has those often). My aunt is going to stay at the house with her for a few days. The boys have amazed me this afternoon. Devin said lets hold hands and pray. Devin and Landon both prayed for Great Grandpa. Now they keep talking about his body stays here but his soul will go to Heaven..it is sweet and a great learning time for them!


I posted this back in September around his 92 birthday but this is one of my favorite pictures of him...

Ionic Foot Bath Detox..Warning..pictures might gross you out!

Look what my sweet husband is letting me buy! I love having an Ionic Foot Bath done. I have had them done a few times since the spring. I have noticed great results. Especially after my first one when tons of yeast came out.....yuck but I have not struggled with yeast since!




I had a few ladies over for a spa party at home during the summer. My friend, Margie brought her machine..look at some of the toxins pulled out of their feet! YUCK!







In a few weeks shortly after my machine arrives, I am going to start doing these for people. My rates will be the same as my friend because I feel those are great prices and afordable. $35.00 if you come to my house or $50.00 if I travel to you. I am also going to be running ladies spa parties....this is where you have a few ladies over to your house and I travel to you. If you have 3 or 4 ladies there you can earn a FREE foot detox!!!

Boys Will Be BOYS..........

Cousins! When we were at my MIL Christmas at the end the boys were getting hot from playing so they started taking their shirts off. I had to have their pictures because it was so cute! So here are our boys with their cousin TJ. TJ loves all his boy cousins!




TJ

Pictures from Christmas

My favorite picture of the day was Nolan. He received some teddy bears from his brothers and he was so happy to have new "babies" from them!!

Landon was very excited to see what Ian and Nolan had received from Santa..the roller coaster in the background..it was cute!

Nice face Devin! This is him opening his gift from my parents. My mom bought him the cuttest watch with a lizzard on the hands..it glows in the dark, etc..very cute. He learned his lesson quickly on how to respond to gifts..it turns out it was one of his favorite gifts but he reacted like that because he was not given a toy. Surprise for a 7 year old. LOL

My neice Hannah and my mom. Hannah is wearing her new Hannah Montana shirt we got her and she screamed when she opened up her Hannah Montana scooter. So I am pretty sure she liked it! My mom turned 59 on Christmas Eve. I think she looks amazing for 59! I can only hope I look that good when I am there.

My dad. I bought him a hat that lights up. I thought it would be helpful doing chores on the farm when it is dark out. He really liked it. Please note all his clothes he has on in our house opening gifts. We keep our house at 67 for heat. He is freezing whenever he comes over....they burn wood for heat so their house is SO HOT!

My MIL, Vicki opening her gift of her 2nd album I have made for her over the years. This album was filled of all the grandkids and the most recent Christmas and gatherings. I also made a special page dedicated to her boyfriend, Jim who passed in September. She really liked it.

This picture of Ian is so funny, I had to share. He was very excited to receive Grandma Kellogg's gift of a new Big School bus! He loves to ride the school bus every day..it is so cute!


We left some of Jesus' birthday cake for Santa that night..and half glass of coke. I told Devin Santa would be drinking and eating a lot that night so he only needed a half of glass. LOL



Here is what the stockings hung on this year. I found this on-line for cheap. I really like it.

Snow Fight!!

Right before Christmas Jim, Devin and Landon had fun playing in the snow. The boys loved tackling Jim in the snow and throwing snow balls at them.
Here is the snowman they made together....



Devin's face with his snowman is so FUNNY
