My name is Brittany and I want to share with you why my Dad is very special to me. He is so special because he always played with me, and some of our favorite things to do where …playing soccer in our yard, going for bike rides, and playing games. I also loved helping him with our chickens.
He was very funny and always made me laugh, in fact he taught me how to tell my first joke when I was 4.
What I admire most about my Dad is that he was never too busy to come to all my school programs and sports. He even coached my soccer team last summer. He helped me with my homework every night and especially enjoyed teaching me math.
My Dad was always smiling and he seemed to make other people smile too. I will miss going camping with him and fishing and skipping rocks. But most of all, I will miss him tucking me into bed every night, praying with me and playing me a song on my guitar.
I love my Dad.

Kary's Legacy
Kary named his blog “No Stone Left Unturned” because that is the way he approached his battle with pancreatic cancer. He researched constantly and tried many of the treatments, conventional and non-conventional, natural and even the strange! He felt that to beat this cancer he needed a whole arsenal of treatments and so he never stopped trying one more thing.
Reflecting on the phrase “No Stone Left Unturned” our family realized that, that is Kary’s legacy because that is the way he lived his whole life. Everything he did was done wholeheartedly and without reservation and over the top.
Kary sought to know God with all of his heart and mind and this was never seen more clearly than during his pain and suffering. He looked at the cancer as a gift because he got to know God so intimately.
He blessed his family and friends with sharing all he had on his heart so there would be no regrets of things left unsaid. Yet he never stopped praying for a miracle and expecting one. He had a supernatural peace and joy that can only come from knowing God and when it was time to give up the fight that same peace and joy ushered him out of this world with a smile on his face.
We are going to miss him everyday and we will never be the same but knowing he is out of his pain and suffering and in the arms of the Lord, we have to say, “Blessed be the Name of the Lord.”
