Dear Schellhammer family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Ardis. I have such fond memories of the times I was able to share with her in Oregon or in Minnesota. She always had such a great sense of humor and brightened up a room with her laughter. I will never forget that she was the only person who always called me "Christoper" and she had such a nice way of saying it that made me smile. It was very special to me that she was able to make the trip back to Oregon in 2007 to celebrate our American wedding celebration. Finally, I'm so glad that we made the trip back to Minnesota last summer so that she was able to meet my son Finley and I could see her again.
My thoughts are with your family at this time.
All the best,
Chris Lyke
