Memories Of Kirk Powell Pam Dahland Kirk Powell had been friends since they were six and seven years old. Dahl composed this letter after Powell's death this year. She hoped to share the part of him she loved through this. Dear Kirk, s There is so much to say in this letter, I hope I can find the right words. It is amazing to me how joy and pain can be so intertwined. There is joy because I know that now you are in the presence of our Lord, and are feeling the awesome peace, joy and love that He promises us. Imagining that, brings a smile to my face. You are doing great, with your perfect happiness and perfect body. I can just see you up there doing back flips or something! Yea! The pain that l feel comes from losing someone who was special, not only to me, but to many, many people. You touched so many lives Kirk. Your gentle spirit and sense of humor are being missed. When I look back on our friendship and reaiize how much you gave to me and how much I learned from you, I am honored. I have so many memories which bring a smile. I re- member spending hours riding our big wheels clown that hill by your house when we were about eight years old. And how we used to try to figure out new ways to barricade our younger siblings out of the room. There were many games of magnetic tic tac toe and velcro darts. I remember how we used to crawl around the front yard trying to catch each other. When we got a little older, there were the weekend bike rides and doing crazy things like riding down the steps at Irwin Elemen- tary. Some of the best memories are of the hours that we spent just talking. I'll miss that most! But even in the pain of not having you here, I thank God because the close- ness that we shared, makes the pain worth it. I Kirk, I thank you just for being you. And for touching my life. Your faith in God was beautiful. The last time I saw you, you told me that it was all in His hands. I don't understand Godfs plan sometimes, but Pm glad that He is the sovereign God, and that it is all in his hands. God Bless you my friend. I know that you are rejoicing in His love. Love, Pam 38 - Seniors Laurie Wilson Tracie Wilson Jeffrey Wintersteen Joy Woods Laura Wright Patti Wright Bob Yarrington Scott Yoshino Bill Young Ann Zesch Holly Alvarez John Berry Rick Boutot Scott Gallagher Nancy Gonring Doug Hillman Jennifer Hudak Karisa Kershaw
