Team Patti

Patti was such a goof.  She grew up as the ultimate tomboy, but loved being the mom of 5 kids. She always had to be the first one to hold her nieces and nephews.  She loved Bud Light, the Chicago Bears, and getting a summer tan.  Now she’s our angel with big ass wings!  Shine on, Patti!

Team Jenny

Jenny Groothuis (11/8/1974 – 6/29/2014) is loved and missed by many. She was a wife for 19 years, mother of 15 children (8 adopted from Africa), beloved daughter, sister & best friend to her twin sisters, and a mentor & friend to so many. Jenny lived a life of bold and contagious love, and those who knew her were changed for the better. Her 39 years on earth were too short, but she lived those years to the fullest. Her long battle with bipolar disorder ended tragically two years ago. We believe that raising awareness and addressing the stigma of mental illness/ suicide is extremely important for healing and change to occur. So we walk in honor of our much-loved Jenny, a beautiful soul gone too soon.

Team Tracy

          02-17-1976 ~ 05-20-2016

Tracy was so many wonderful things wrapped up in one person.  Her most notable trait was her sense of humor.  She had a remarkable ability to bring out the best in any situation…..usually through comic relief with her goofy and silly nature, that proved to be contagious in her presence.  She was a terrific combination of fun and adventurous while having the capacity to be caring and sincere, which made so many glad to know her.  One of Tracy’s greatest contributions to the world are her two children whom she loved and adored.  A mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, animal lover, comedian, scrapbook extraordinaire, are just a few of the ways that Tracy was connected with those that knew her.  Our lives are better for knowing her and are forever changed by her absence.  She is missed, loved and treasured every day.  A truly unforgettable person who has left an imprint on anyone who knew her!

Amanda Marie
April 18, 1984 – August 13, 2016
My beautiful, amazing daughter was such a loving mother, daughter, and wife. Her three children Adam, Kylie, and Macie were her world.  She was very compassionate and devoted to everything that she did. She had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. She loved to share and give happiness to others. Her dream was to be a nurse. She attended Kaplan University and was working towards her degree as an RN. She talked about how she really felt her true calling in life was to be a teacher of nursing.  She truly loved helping her fellow students and loved nursing. She had so many talents, she loved to paint and had so much creativity when she did anything.  She would try anything at least once. Amanda will be missed dearly. She has left a lasting impression on everyone that she has touched. We love you and miss you so much, sparkle on my shining angel.
