"Big Guy"

    The world will never be the same... never again.  We have lost an amazing man to this terrible disease.  Not once did he complain.... not once did he ask why.  He kept on smiling... he kept on loving his family and touching our hearts.  He was full of life... loved life more than anyone we know.  His laugh was contagious and his generousity was unmatched.

    We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone.  ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities. 

    With no known cause or cure, ALS challenges the human spirit and tests the courage of everyone touched by this devastating disease.

    However, we can work together to create a Community of Hope that restores dreams and builds courage.  Our community gives strength and hope to our loved ones, neighbors, and friends facing the fear and uncertainty of ALS.

    Your gifts will make this possible.  Please click the donation button to the right if you want to help other families fighting this disease and contribute to the research of finding a cure.

    Thank you for helping us build a Community of Hope and honoring our HERO!  Goran has a special place in the hearts of everyone he touched and we will continue to celebrate his life and the amazing person he is!

    Getting through the first day without Daddy....
    When you lose someone you love so dearly... It really changes you. You feel emptiness, devastation and absolute fear. We are blessed to have an AMAZING family. It is for sure what my dad was proudest of... But still... getting through that first day is so hard. "Taking one day at a time" never related so much to us before. The house tonight was full of the kids running around... but it still felt so empty... He wasn't there... cracking jokes, teasing us and kissing those grandbabies.
    It is amazing how people come together when something so terrible happens. The Englert family and Gross Family came by with loads of food... Talon and Matias were thrilled.. they ate like grown men :) Thank you to everyone for all your kind words... I know we all feel devastated tonight... This week is going to be tough.. really tough... but we look forward to celebrating his life and honoring him forever.
    As my dad would say on facebook "Good night my friends, sleep well and tomorrow I hope you wake up feeling well rested"- The Viking!
