It's never Goodbye

The Olsen's

(Tracy, Pam and Derek: missing from the picture Dustin, Brandon and Andrew)

Tracy and Pam Olsen have been our neighbors for the past 12 years when they moved into our neighborhood July 1996. They will be missed, but we understand that lives and circumstance change and that Pam needs to be close to her parents at this time because they are aging and in need of help. I admire the Olsen's as they make this sacrifice by leaving everything they have known for the past 12 years, and all the memories whether good or bad. I will miss talking with Pam, because she has already raised 2 of her 4 boys, and has some words of wisdom to share. It was fun as Pam and I talked, before they left, to reminisce about holes in the walls, broken windows, car wrecks and most of all the choices our children have made as they have grown up.

Thank you, Tracy and Pam for being great neighbors, friends and examples to us, and we will always be grateful for the memories of skipping Sunday School and the hours spent in Wal-Mart--just catching up.

We will miss you and all of your boys. May the Lord bless you for your service and sacrifice. Love, The Tooele Hopkins
