It was nice and cool. We got the four wheelers ready for in the morning and then ...

    Tuesday, July 29, 2008 | A Tragic story

    At 3:00am on July 28, 2008 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Joshua Edward Fritzler. He was only 5 months old, weighed 1 pound, and was 10 inches long. He was with us in this world for a precious 45 minutes before passing on.
    A funeral/burial will be held this week to honor Joshua.

Anyway, Mary Kay told me that she had Jerry (Marys husband) in a golf tournament but couldnt reach him. After four days she sent her Brother in law to check in on him. Jerrys car was there but the front door was locked. Brian climbed...
