It’s important to take the opportunity to have these discussions.

Astronaut Reid Wiseman lost his wife to cancer in 2020. Yesterday he blasted off on an historic mission around the moon. The 50-year-old said he had to have a heartbreaking discussion with his two teenage daughters about the plan for them in the event of his own death.

Wiseman has raised daughters Ellie and Katherine as a single dad after the death of his wife Carroll. He was prepared to quit his job as an astronaut when she was was diagnosed, but Carroll refused to let him give up his dream job.

Wiseman said he wanted to mentally prepare his girls on the possibility he might not return from the 10-day Artemis II mission.

Wiseman told them: “Here’s where the will is, here’s where the trust documents are, and if anything happens to me, here’s what’s going to happen to you.”

He said, “I actually wish more people in everyday life talked to their families in that way because you never know what the next day is going to bring."

God bless Reid Wiseman and the Artemis II crew. Praying for their safe return. 🙏

In memory of Amy Lou Polk.

August 7, 1978 - March 13, 2026

Amy Lou Polk was born on August 7, 1978, in Riverside, California, to Sherry Marie Polk and Donald Rudolph Polk. She was the second of seven children and grew up in Lynwood, California-a place she held close to her heart. Amy took great pride in the city where she was raised and often shared stories of her childhood there.

From a young age, Amy was full of life-fun-loving, happy, and always ready to make others laugh. She loved going on adventures, trying new things, and sharing her wild sense of humor with everyone around her. She had a deep love for music, skateboarding, and her Native American heritage, which she carried proudly throughout her life.

As a young woman, Amy's adventurous spirit led her down many exciting paths. She worked for the carnival, traveling with her aunts on her father's side, experiencing life on the road and making memories along the way. Later, she worked in stadium concessions in San Diego ( 2001-2009) for the San Diego Padres and the San Diego Chargers. This is where her outgoing personality shone. When she returned to Los Angeles (2009-2015) she worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Lakers in concessions; when she worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers; she earned Employee of the Year three years in a row. She even worked security at Monster Truck shows at Qualcomm Stadium, where she met drivers from Grave Digger, Bigfoot, and Ta**us, and shared lunches with sports legends like Tony Gwynn, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire.

Amy also worked behind the scenes at the Grammys, where she met Beyoncé, and even met Tupac Shakur in Lynwood. For two years, she and Fernando lived the music scene as groupies, touring with a reggae band out of South Gate called The Bluntest. Amy's larger-than-life personality opened doors to unforgettable experiences-she once met Arnold Schwarzenegger, and she and Fernando regularly partied with a special effects artist who built the car used in Marvel's Green Hornet movie.

Thirty years ago, Amy met the love of her life, Fernando Reyna. Together they built a life full of laughter, music, travel, and deep affection. Amy lovingly called him her "Fern Dog," a name that perfectly captured their playful bond. They lived in Mexico from 2001 to 2009, where Amy worked for Comic-Con in San Diego every year. In 2010, they moved back to Los Angeles, where Amy spent cherished time with Fernando's sister Jennifer Reyna, before settling in San Antonio, Texas, in 2015, where they remained until her passing. Amy fell asleep in death with Fernando by her side, just as he had been for the past three decades.

Amy had a heart for helping others, especially the elderly, and never hesitated to offer kindness, laughter, and love. She will be remembered for her generosity, her humor, her loyalty to family, and the joy she brought to every moment.

Amy is preceded in death by her mother Sherry; her sister Victoria; her maternal and paternal grandparents; her aunts Shelly and Sandy (on her mom's side); her uncle Ronald Polk and aunt Cindy Lou (on her dad's side); her aunt Bobbie Wierich and cousin Harry House.

She is survived by her father, Donald Polk; her siblings Angeline Garcia, Donald Polk II, Ronald Polk, Charles Polk, and Jeremiah Polk; her uncle Donnie Wierich, uncle Eugene Cleveland, and aunt Michele Cleveland; her beloved Fernando Reyna; and Fernando's mother Blanca Aboite and sister Jennifer Reyna, who loved Amy as family. She is also survived by her paternal aunts Linda, Jackie, Lisa, and Tammy, her many cousins, her nephews Steven, Jacob, Malakeye, and Christian, her nieces Natalie, Makayla, and Shantae, and her two great-nephews.

Amy's laughter, compassion, and vibrant spirit will be forever remembered by all who loved her. Her memory will continue to shine in every story told, every song played, and every moment shared in her honor.

Funeral services for Amy will be held on Saturday April 11, 2026 at 12 noon at Oneida Assembly of God Church with Pastor Joel Cornelius officiating. Memorial visitation will be held at the church from 10:00 AM until the time of services. The Oneida Hymn Singers will provide a song service at 11:30 AM.

In memory of Engine Bob.

Our world slowed and came to a halt as we had to say goodbye to a wonderful man. Robert Michael Birkholz (Engine Bob) passed peacefully at home in the company of family on March 18th, 2026 at the young age of 56 after losing his hard battle with stage 4 colon cancer.

Bob was the first son of Michael and Susan (Moeller) Birkholz. He came into the world April 21st, 1969 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. His little brother, Scott, was born in November of 1974.

As a boy, Bob would tinker with everything he could get his hands on. He would pull it apart and then figure out how to put it back together. Bob could fix almost everything. Also from a young age he had a love for dirt bikes and everything else motorized.

When Bob was 19, he met his wife, Kris, in Lakewood, Wisconsin. They led a wonderful and adventurous life together. Many moves and jobs later they welcomed their first daughter, Kaitlin, into the world on March 8th, 1997, which made Kris's son, Eric, a big brother. Bob and Kris bought their first house February 19th, 1999. Then four years later to the day, they had their second daughter, Alisa. In June of 2025 Bob's little buddy, Waylen, was born to Alisa and her husband, Trenton.

In addition to Bob's business building or rebuilding engines and transmissions he enjoyed many interests: motor sports of many kinds, stargazing, tracking airplanes and the weather on his phone apps, his shop kitties, Legos, cacti, traveling, music, concerts, and he had a major sweet tooth. A big part of his life was dedicated to motocross and offroad truck racing. Bob met so many friends who became more like family along the way. Lots of those friends became an amazing support during hard times and especially after Bob's cancer diagnosis.

Bob's big sense of humor, laugh, and smile will be greatly missed. He was so dang smart and could fix just about anything.

Bob is survived by his parents, Susan and Michael; his brother Scott (Jessie); his wife, Kris; his children, Eric, Kaitlin (Ryan), and Alisa (Trenton); his nephews, Aidan and Evan; and his grandchildren, Waylen and Naomi.

We will have Bob's celebration of life on June 27th, 2026 at our place starting @ 2p.m. We will be outside and have a big bonfire closer to sunset. Sue, Bob's mom, will make a big batch of sloppy joe's and we invite you to bring a dish to pass, BYOB and chairs. Let's hope the weather cooperates.
