My thoughts for Coachie

Hopefully this is not too late. Thanks Kevin for doing this!
 

A few scartered memories I have:
Coach Reeve (affectionately referred to as Coachie) has helped make me who I am today. So many fun memories were made there in Rexburg with Coachie. A very common phrase that Coachie would use is "we're burning daylight". And everytime I hear it I think of her and smile.
I also remember our many long bus rides to and from games. Some rides were long and quite after losses, but I remember more of the ones filled with laugher and fun. On those trips is when Coachie would pull out her green goblin mask and come around and tickle us.
I remember sitting in her office in between classes just to chat. Coachie was always happy and loved to take time out of her busy schedule to talk to me. Even though they were short in length I cherish those chats.
Coachie,
I wish I was able to be there this weekend to celebrate with you and to give you a huge squeeze. You have taught me so many lessons that have changed me and I am a better person becasue I was able to rub shoulders with you. You have a wonderful legacy that so many people will look to for many years to come. I love you with all my heart! I hope that our paths will cross again it has been too long.
Sending my congratulations and love,
Laura (Nielsen) Earl
