Nathan Richard Garaas

West Point, 1999

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Sarah Garaas on January 15, 2021:

We are a few days shy of the 20th anniversary of your death.  I distinctly remember thinking in January 2001, "I wish I could just fast forward my life 20 years so this indescribable pain will be gone."  Unfortunately, I was wrong.  The ache is neverending. The emptiness cannot be filled. We all miss you so much.

You have a new nephew named Anders.  He's perfect and brings the family such joy.  He will undoubtedly hear all of the stories of Uncle Nathan growing up. I hope Anders has your witty sense of humor and knack for impressions. We pray that you are pain-free and watching over us and the rest of the family.
  
We love you,
Sarah and Anders
