On
Saturday, September 21, 2002, the KRBS family lost
one of our cherished founding members.
Thomas
Ronald Opdenaker was a large part of the
heart and spirit of Bird Street Media Project. His
energy, creativity, and compassion have inspired all
of us at the station and The Birdcage Theatre. You
will be dearly missed, Tom. Thank you for giving us
the gift of your time, energy, inspiration and love.
We
hope to follow through with his ideas and hold true
to his ideals. We will continue to offer the purity
of his dreams to the community of Oroville, The City
with a Heart of Gold.
The
front office has been dedicated Overland Studio. Everyone
is welcome to stop by and say hello.

Do
Not Weep
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on the snow.
I am the sunlight and ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning- hush!
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I'm free.
Don't grieve for me, for I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief:
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now.
He set me free.
We Love you, Tom!
Words of Love from Emily & Kayla
"We won't forget you,
just like we won't forget anyone else.
We loved and adored you.
Cherished you and honored you
We will still forever.
So when we sing this
song
it is for you Tom with love.
You are family, you are friend,
you are all the above.
But remember, but remember
WE LOVE YOU!"
"Tom - Forever
we will remember.
We love you. You are with us all the time.
Our prays will come upon you.
Be joyful and happy! We love you!"
"We are one big family joined heart to heart,
hand to hand.
We are filled with
peace, love and care.
Joyfulness, and there may be bad days
and good days,
Happy days and sad days.
We are one big family forever!"
