You are our little angel.You never opened your eyes or had a chance to cry, but we only needed one look to fall in love with you.
Zoe-Greek meaning 'life'.
You were born sleeping on valentines day weighing 9lbs 1/2 oz, our chunky chops.
Our hopes and dreams for you died with you but we will keep you alive in our hearts.
sleep tight darling, until we meet again.
All our love and kisses.
Mummy and Daddy xxxxxxx

My dear sister you are thoughtof daily and will be forever in my heart.

This is the eulogy that I read out at your funeral Broth'. I think it says it all.

Clinton is my brother. And I miss him. You would rarely see us together in a pub having a drink or sharing a joke,
or any of the other things that close friends are supposed to do.
No that was not our way.
We spent a very great deal of our past just trying to understand the very different ways we saw the world.
And far too long in arguments.
But even when our arguments threatened to tear us apart forever we both knew we would find a way to patch up our differences and move on.
Because.
When all was said and done we were family.
And we shared a past.

It makes me sad that there will be no more new memories to create. Happy ones or sad ones.

But Clint has left a wealth of memories behind.

The earthworms we put in Lynn’s bed when we were kids

His highly questionable experiments with audio equipment that on more than one occasion nearly required the fire brigade!

The building of a motorcycle in the bedroom that wouldn’t fit down the stairs!

And Clint’s rendition of Aquarius on guitar had to be heard to believed.

And of course I remember who was standing by my side during some shared times of tragedy in our youth.

The memories go on and on and stretch over decades and I’m sure as time passes many more will come to the fore; but more important than any of these; are the living testaments to Clint’s life in his daughters Cara and Zoe.
Both very different from each other.
Both very special in there own right and in whom Clint was right to be proud.
And who could forget his Granddaughter Imogen, whose smile can light up a room in the way only a child can.
Clint had so many friends during his life it would be unfair to mention only a few and would be impossible to list them all but two people from his past who helped shape his life deserve special mention. Two women who spent some of their lives with him and who I am sure feel his loss keenly. Sally and Lizzie.
From me to both of you thank you.

My heart goes out to Nikki whom he adored.
If anyone was in any doubt how they felt about each other they only had to look into their eyes when they saw each other to know. Nikki was Clinton’s soul mate and vice versa.
I have never seen my brother so settled or so happy
They were made for each other.

Legally Nikki is our sister in law.
We think that’s too long a title.
We have family members.
You will forever be a member of this family Nikki.
And.
Like any family member.
Sometimes you’ll get a hug.
Sometimes you’ll get an argument but if you are ever in need of a friend we all carry phones and one of us will always answer whether it’s today or in the furthest future.

As for religion,
Clint had no time at all for religious matters.
He would respect a person’s right to believe in what ever they wanted.
As long as they were prepared to argue if they tried to convert him.
But Clint did in fact have a religion.
It was written on every census he completed.
He was prepared to fight in court for his right to be a member of it and would proudly inform anyone who asked him.
When a person in authority would require to know Clint’s faith he would simply tell them he was a knight of the Jedi!

I don’t believe Clint is fighting the forces of the empire but I do believe that his soul is somewhere in eternity and we will see each other again someday.

In conclusion I would like to say that if a mans life is judged by the quality of the partner, the children and the friends he leaves behind him then Clints life was a rich tapestry indeed. And a short life well lived.

Goodbye Clint.
Sleep well.x

Mom, I miss you and your old bear hugs. When I see the lone tree on the top of the hill I know you are here with me always. Your daughter Julia

Yours was always an indominitable spirit. You achieved what you did because you didnt believe when they said you could'nt. If you instilled some small part of this in me, I am the better for it. I will always remember the Botanical Gardens, where you taught me to love life. I will always remember the museums where you taught me to love art. And I will always remember you. Love, Donna.

You alwayz were the one
To be in the spotlight
But now you are in heaven
You are looking down as i write
We all miss you dearly
We don't understand why you are gone
God wanted an angel
You were the only one
I kno you will be with me
but i wish it were in life
I never got the chance
To say my last goodbye
I never expected to lose you
But it happenes when you least expect
It hurts so bad I can barely breathe
The pain for all hasn't eased yet
No matter how much we miss you
We know you are in a better place
For God called his Angel
Up to heaven today

Death can end a life but not a relationship. I love you and miss you terribly. The wonderful memories I have of us together can never be replaced. Thank you for teaching me the meaning of love. Missing you always, Cindy

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the airplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message "He is dead". Put great bows around the white necks of the public doves. Let traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my north, my south, my east, and west, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song. -W. H. A u d e n

Alway's on my mind. Love Leslie

James was a terrific Stepfather, and fine fellow Master Mason. He spent 23 years in the service of the United States Navy, and was laid to rest near his favorite port city, Monterey. James is the first in the Ades lineage to receive a memorial in cyberspace...

My beloved precious beautiful black beauty, A.K. was the wind beneath my wings. She was aspecial furangel sent especially for me. She was my everything. She was the one. The only one. There will never be another that will fill her 'paws'. She was every reason that I breathed, lived and got up in the mornings.When I was sad or crying she would always come to me and sit right next to me with tears in those big beautiful green cat eyes! She watched over me and protected me. She even accompaniedme in all my dreams protecting me all the while. She loved me just the way that I am withall my faults and flaws. She showed me what unconditional love and acceptable was. My baby slept next to me on my bed for almost 14 years until the day came that the vet told me that she had cancer and it had eaten right through her tummy, cut off her blood supply and she would be gone within 4 days! I just wanted to die. I would have done anything in this worldto save her. I couldn't stand the thought thatshe would suffer and the hardest thing I've ever done or will do was to let her go that day at the vets. Forgive me my precious beloved,please forgive mommie that there wasn't something, anything else that I could have done.I pleaded and begged the vet to please dosomething to save my baby but the response wasnegative. I'll never forget coming to pick youup from the vets and seeing you lying there inthat box dead! :( My heart was just ripped right out of my chest. I would have done anything my precious, anything at all to save you. I would have gladly taken your place. I wished to God that my love would have saved you that day. Forgive me baby, Forgive mommie. :(You were the wind beneath my wings baby. Mommie doesn't know how to fly without you. Don't youknow that you are my hero?? Don't you know thatyou are everything that I want to be?? Yourlittle kitty bed awaits on my bed as it alwaysdid waiting for you. It will always be there baby. You are mommie's 'kitty kissy face' andI wish I could kiss your little face again. I miss the smell of your fur as you always smelled so-o-o- wonderful. I always said that was because of all the angelic kitty love coming out of you! Fly free my beloved preciousfly free and wait for mommie when I pass overthe RainbowBridge when I can once again scoopyou up in my arms and kiss you all over your 'kitty kissy face'. I love you baby now, forever,in life and death. Your mommie Always.

Until we meet again, my dearest mother. I know you are watching out for all of us and I think you are responsible at least in part for the way our fortunes have improved over the last few years. Thank you for the wonderful times we had at the Fair, the Renaissance Festival, at the euchre table (when we cheated!), Christmas shopping together, and all the times you stood up to the world for me. Tristan is such a big boy now, but I'm sure you know that. I've made sure that he hasn't forgotten about you. I worry about Dad because I know he misses you terribly, but you know he had a good time in Linton this weekend hanging out with Roy Clark, and that did him a world of good. And what about the way David has turned his life around! Now that I think about it, I know it's entirely possible that you had a hand in that too! I'm sorry about Donna but I'm just not ready to get all of that started up again. Maybe someday that bridge will be built again. God bless you and keep you always, my beautiful auburn haired, green-eyed mother, and I hope God gives you a hug from me today! I pray that He draws you ever further into His Light.

Love you Always,
Your Curly-Haired Girl,
Terri

My father was a very good and loving man. He would do anything he could to provide for his family. He left this world too soon and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

You, stranger who passes by
As you are now
So once was I
As I am now
You soon will be
So prepare for death
And to follow me

Ninnen-we miss you dearly. we know that you are in a much better place. just knowing that you are watching over us helps us carry on. we love you.
