Can't wait to see everyone in Indiana for the vigil! This year is going to be a little different than the others for the Hoon family. As many of you may or may not know, Nel's son Tim passed away on July 3, 2009 after battling lung cancer for about 14 months. Nel wanted me to let you guys know that this is why she has been out of touch for quite some time on here and possibly with her jewelry orders. I am sure after the vigil she will be catching up with all of that. Nel is doing well, I went to visit her in mid July and she was in good spirits...considering. She is a VERY strong woman but I am sure that this years vigil will be very hard on her. Tim is buried almost next to Shannon in the Dayton Cemetary. I know a lot of people that attend the vigil usually bring special things and candles for Shannon and I am sure a lot of you would want to do the same for Tim, so if you need ideas, I know Tim liked Dale Earnhart (which is coincidentally #3), fishing, playing guitar and budweiser. This will be a very special vigil and I am counting down the days til I get to see you all!!! Peace and lots of Melon Love! Tricia

Thanks for sharing that Tricia. As of right now redlightunity and I plan on making the trip down for my second and his first vigil. I will remember to bring something for Tim as well. That must be very difficult on Nel. I look forward to seeing you and all of the other melonheads at this years vigil!

Thanks for letting everyone know about Tim's passing. I know he was a great guy because he has such a wonderful mom. When I went to visit Shannon I saw that someone was buried next to him and I knew it had to be a family member. Now Shannon and Tim can be at peace together, God Bless. Nel, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I can't imagine losing 1 child, let alone 2. She is a very strong woman - I hope to make it this year and if so, will absolutely bring something for Tim. Very sad....
