CHAVEZ -- Eliseo Eliseo Chavez June 11, 1934-November 28, 2001 All Is Well Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the usual way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was, there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind, because I am out of sight. I am but waiting for you, for an interval. Somewhere very near just around the corner...All Is Well. (CLLC) I will join you and Michael some day, My Husband. All My Love, Helen

SANDALL -- Emily Sandall, 25, a 1999 graduate of Eldorado High School and University of Montana graduate, died in a hiking accident in Yosemite National Park, on November 8, 2006. She leaves behind loving and grieving communities in Albuquerque, Missoula, MT, Red Lodge and Dixon, MT, Minnesota, and Oaxaca, Mexico. Emily lived a life full of adventure and service. In high school she won numerous athletic awards and SAGE magazine's "Making a Difference" award. She worked with street children in Mexico and Nepal, led teens on backpacking trips for Voyager Outward Bound in Montana and on wilderness canoe trips in Minnesota and Canada for the Y Camp Menogyn. Emily loved to dance, play the guitar, sing, write, camp, and run. She was known for her laughter, her pranks, her sparkling smile, her friendship, her love of life. A minimalist in her life style, she was generous with her concern, her attention, and her bright and shining personality. Emily's family, parents, Rebecca and Paul, brother, Barry, and sister, Laura invite you to celebrate her short but exceptional life at a Memorial Service on Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 10 a.m. at the First Unitarian Church, 3701 Carlisle NE (at Comanche). To honor Emily's work with disadvantaged youth and her hopes and plans for the future, a foundation to fund projects and scholarships is being organized. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be sent to the Emily Sandall Foundation, 13000 Rover Ave., NE, Albuquerque, NM, 87112 or to your favorite charity. In grief and joyful sharing we honor Emily's life, her dreams and aspirations, and hope that in some small way we can fill in the blanks that remain with her passing.
