Show "Hey Dad, turn your head and cough." Christian, You set your goals at a young age and through hard work and dedication ... achieved them. We honor you on this special day, doctor. Love, Layne & Jode Cree, How could four years fly by so quickly? I will always associate med school with precious memories like your street ball matches with Brandon (and the constant lament that the computer is in love with him), shuttling you and Randy to every bike trail in the state, the year of the Parks Pass, two fabulous epidurals and no desire to try without, late-night long distance phone calls from Boston and Seattle, midnight breakfast burritos, quizzing you every time we got in the car (and you laughing at my creative pronunciations of medical terms), nightly calls to Boy, Reed, and T for shakes, and a constant pile of scrubs in the laundry. Luckily, we made it through, and you've chosen the best specialty in medicine for your career. You are an amazing man, and you will be an incredible doctor (James can't say "not yet" anymore!). It's been a wild ride--I'm so glad you chose me to come along. On to our next adventure! We love you so much! -Dar, Jeesh-man, and The Monkey Dr. John W. Nord John, I say from my heart that from the time of your early entry into this world, you have always made your mother and I very proud. I know that your mom is looking down from heaven on this day bubbling over with love and pride for all of your achievements. Throughout all of your life your courage, moral values, self-respect and respect for others has always been an outstanding example to all those that you have touched. Now after honorably serving our country for nine years in the United States Air Force and eight years of college and medical school, you have reached your goal. All the time being a loving giving husband and devoted farther to Savannah and Sophia. Again with determination and focus, you have risen above all challenges that one could encounter. You have earned your way and deserve the title " Dr. John W. Nord" Johnny, words cannot adequately express my feelings of admiration and respect that I have for you, so in your mother's absence I say for us both, congratulations, we are forever proud. Love, Dad Dr. Josh Garcia, age 4, on his first house call. Josh, you were the first college graduate in our family. You've set the bar high and to say we are proud of you isn't big enough. You've earned it Dr.Garcia. Congratulations! WE LOVE YOU! Mom, Dad, Jake, Rosy, Jason, Natalie, Julie, Andrew, Noah, Christian, Noelle, Kai and Jonah From the day you were born, you have been our super hero. To the small patients you'll care for, you'll be their every day hero. Congratulations, Aaron! Love, Mom, Dad and Laura 127 |
