"Every Hour Away From You"

Every hour away from you
Intensifies my loneliness
Every moment apart from you
Drives me deeper into distress
And my tears are no comfort now
They will not bring you back to me
Every moment of passing time
Mocks at me like an enemy

Every hour away from you
Casts a shadow upon my heart
How I wish my own time was through
Every moment thet we're apart
But here in my heart you will remain
I will never let go of you
No one could ever take your place
None could love me the way you do

Every hour lasts eternally
Every hour is agony
But I'm certain that this is true:
Someday soon I will be with you
So, my love, I will carry on
I know you would want me to
Still, it's harder than hell to spend
Every hour away from you

I wrote this song for you, Bunny.

I love you very much.

John died a lonely man in a motel 6 hotel room. I got the call last Christmas Eve and they told me the news. I laughed all night till the tears rolled down my face. I wished he didn't die in a roach infested place.

In Loving Memory from her Family and Friends.

Dallas, I know that I really didnt keep in touch the last few years of your life, but I still always cared about you. I thought about you a lot. You were so young, but you felt the need to end your life here on earth. I wish I could have been there to help you with whatever problems you were going through. Your suicide really changed many lives, including mine. I will always remember and love you! -an old friend

To the twin brother i never knew, I know that deep within me you will always stay Living your life through me

Almost 4 years ago we lost you. Until then I never knew what heartbreak was. Over time the pain will lessen and life will go on. It won't ever be quite right without you though. I know that what will remain the same, is that special place in my heart that belonged to only you. I will miss you and love you always

I'll always remember all the times you took me golfing and hiking and spent qaulity time with me. My father was never a strong male role-model in my life but you were for the short time you and my sister were dating and long after that in my mind. You always were and always will be everything I want to grow up to be. You finally got it all ( your own EXTREMELY successfull business, all the leisure time you wanted for mountain biking and skiing) and then you died before you could enjoy it fully. I knew you would be successfull in life and even though you died at such a young age you still managed to become everything that you wanted to become. Scottie died in an avalanche on Mount Woodbury along with five others doing what he loved most. I only knew him for a few years of my childhood and he still means more to me than ANY adult has ever meant to me. If there is a Heaven, I know for a fact that you will be in it watching over me and keeping me safe. I wish more than anything I had gotten to know you better in the last few years of your life. You lived life on the edge taking any risk it took to do what you wanted when you wanted. You went out fighting for what you believed in. You looked death itself in the face with a smile and said fuck you with your fist in the air and you refused to die on your knees. They warned you, but you wouldn't give up because death on the edge is better than life on your knees. My sister and I will always love you. Love, "Ry-Baby!"

Brian, you are missed and loved so very, much. You are your children's guardian angel now. We will love you forever.

Beloved father of David and Wendy; adoring Grandfather of Alan, April, and Michael; and cherished brother of Lucille died on Valentine's Day after a stubborn fight with cancer. A veteran of Korea and Vietnam, he is back with the Army at last and buried with the other old soldiers at Fort Bragg NC. Proud and private to the end, he endured the misery indignity, and fear of his illness without complaint. Our family thanks the US Army, the members of the Cumberland County Sheriff"s Association and Sheriff Moose Butler for the kindness extended to us in our time of need. I extend my personal gratitude to my sister Wendy and her husband Tom for caring for him and most importantly being there at the end .

Mary Jo Bradshaw, was a beautiful wife and mother.She lived in Alamo, Nevada at the time of her death.She left behind four beautiful daughters and her husband Darrel Bradshaw.At the time of her death she was soon to give birth to her only son.She was killed in an auto accident while traveling home from her doctors visit, with three of her daughters with her.And they themselves still babies also.She was in a one car accident and it took her life so soon from her family and friends.She had the will to live long enough to tell her husband 'I love you' and died in his arms in an open field.Her baby boy died also at the hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada.I will always remember her bright smile and her golden blond hair.After all these years I still remember her to this day.Only a few days before her death I saw her and we talked for hours.She was sure a sweet heart and always kind to everyone.I miss her and know in my heart she is in a kinder more gentler place.She was buried in Utah.I remember that too.It took so long for her husband to let go of her physically.I know in my heart I will never forget her.So sweet, so kind, so innocent.We were not related only by marriage at the time, but she will always be my sister.I miss you Mary Jo and remember you always.Forever Loved Your Sister In Christ Linda

Dad.
I hope you can see us all from wherever you are now.
You have 4 beautiful Grandchildren. 3 you saw, but never attempted to get to know well, and one little Princess you never met, all because of your own stubborness. You knew we all loved you, and all we ever wanted from you was for you to be happy, but your mind was poisoned by your association with "that" woman and her family.. Our sadness stems not from what has been, but for what could have been.
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I wish you all the luck in the world, but please be a better person to your next family, than you were to us..

Love you always Dad.
Your Eldest Son, Paul.

A long life lived, You have watched your children grow to mature adults with children, you watched your Grandchildren grow to young adults with children. You raised and guided so many lives and now we give you to those you lost before today and with sadness and hope we say Goodbye to you.

in loving memory of my mom janice k bragg she was a wonderful mother grandmother and friend she will be missed very much there couldnt be a better person we love her very much shes always with us god bless you mom may god keep you

In loving memory of our precious little angel Zachary Shane Bragg We will always hold you close in our hearts and long for the day we will all be together. With Love, Mom, Dad, Garrett & Amy

A single mother of five and a wonderful person. I miss you very much. I think about you everyday and wish you were here to share with me the raising of your grandchild. Your in my thoughts always.

This beautiful woman gave of herself to family and friends. A very loving, caring individual. Strong in faith.

Katy, you were a wonderful duughter, and a marvelous child. Remembering your death still brings great pain, but I wouldn't have missed the dance.
Your Daddy

Andria you touched a lot of people in so many ways. You are deeply missed by your friends and family. You have a new grandson, Trey, born 7/8/97. He looks like you. We know you and Bryan are happy and at peace in Jesus loving arms. Our hearts are heavy with saddness at your passing, your always in our thoughts!

you are greatly missed by your family and friends. we think about you all the time and the fond memories we have of times with you are a constant topic of conversation. you were to young to leave us but GOD and your mother must have felt you were needed more up in Heaven. Repel on the clouds and fish those Heavenly waters!

Shannon was my daughter, she died in a car accident at 4:45a.m Memorial weekend 4 days before her and her twin sister Robyn were to graduate high school. The hardest of all is that Robyn was also in the accident and held her sister in her arms while she died. Robyn was the one who called. I know something was wrong, that scared voice begging please hurry mommy, Shannon's hurt. I live that nightmare all my life now. We all miss you "babygirl" but most of all I miss you so much it hurts. I know your in heaven and someday I will get to hugh you again. Love Mom

I will remember you always. Not only were you my sister-in- law, you were also a best friend to me. I remember your smile even in the rough times when most people didn't know what you were going through. I always cared, I know that you knew that, I just wish I could have done something more to help you. I promise you that for as long as I live, so will the memory of you. Your sons will always know you for the sweet, kind, most wonderful and caring person that you were. Your Daddy has joined you now and I know that brought you great joy, I too am glad that you have been reunited. He grieved so intensely for you. I could go on and on about how I miss you and all the laughs and good times, but in my heart I know that you already know these things. rest in peace my beautiful friend. Until we meet again! cathy

Gerry was killed in an automobile accident. He was drinking and driving. He lived for two weeks and then died due to complications. He left behind two young sons, Ryan and Aaron who he loved more than life itself. He is their angel watching over them. Only if he could have known what he would have missed maybe he would have made different choices. One day we will all meet again and you'll be able to give our Branchie boys all the hugs and kisses they have missed. You are forever in our hearts and mind. We love you.

Jonathan Gregory Brandis, an actor who co-starred on the TV show, "SeaQuest DSV," committed suicide on Nov. 12. Brandis, who was 27, hung himself, the L.A. medical examiner's office said.
Brandis began his acting career when he was five years old by appearing in television commercials and on the soap opera, "One Life to Live." As a teen, he doubled up on his high school courses so he could finish a year early and work on the NBC show, "SeaQuest DSV." At the 15th Annual Youth in Film Awards, the young heartthrob won Best Youth Actor in a Leading Role in a Television Series.
Brandis acted in more than 20 films, including "Hart's War," "It" and "The Never Ending Story 2: The Next Chapter." He also did guest appearances on hit shows like "L.A. Law" and "The Wonder Years." His final project was the independent film, "The Year That Trembled," starring Fred Willard and Martin Mull.

There is no death. Our physical body is just a garment we clothe ourselves with. Our consciousness continues, but we dwell in another form.

With love and respect, Hel.

To my dear sweet aunt, I miss you more than words can say. I know you are in a better place and that you are in good company with your best friend, my mother. I will never forget you. I'll always love you. Stephanie

Hey Mom, I miss you so much. You left me when I was 21 before we could do all the things mothers and daughters do. I wish you were here to have seen my wedding, the birth of Brandon who looks just like you. and the birth of Ashley. They would have loved to have you around. I know you are happy in heaven with Grandmom, and Aunt Lorraine. I love you and miss you deeply. Keep looking after me. Love alway, Your youngest, Stephanie

Christine Brandt was a caring, courageous individual who fought cancer for most of her adult life. She was married to Carl Brandt, but due to her illness they never were able to have any children. Christine lived life to it's fullest, despite her failing health and weakness. I remeber her as sweet and funyy, very kind, and intelligent. She was a smart lady, very faithful to her husband and her family. She only enjoyed three cancer free years of marriage. But through all the pain and darkness, Christine smiled and laughed and brought hope to all who were around her. She fought for every day of life she lived. She never took anything for granted, because she knew all too well, that it could all go away tomorrow. She was a beautiful person, with such depth. I did not find out until after her death that she had spoken a lot of me and my sister to her family and friends. I only have the memories now, I can only remember seeing her bright face at all of our family gatherings. Christine, it's been three yfour years and I still can not believe you are gone. I hope and pray that you are safely home now, your father is up there with you, he died a year after you did. Carl and your mother and sister, and your cousins and aunts and uncles, and me and my family, we all love and miss you very much. I will continue to pray for angels to watch over your soul. I already know that they are there. Rest in peace, Christine. We all love you.

In remembrance of my beloved father who passed away at age 55 of a heart attack. He was the best father anyone could ever have. I still miss you daddy after all these years and I can still shed some tears when I think of you. I have alot of your "good" ways and I am proud of that. You had a heart of gold, maybe that's why it gave out. I miss you and think of you often. I love you daddy. Your daughter, Laverne (who is now a grandmother)

Kristen was a sweet, funny young lady when she unexpectedly died of blood poisoning under some shady circumstances. If the doctors who she was taken to had been more perceptive and more qualified, Kristen would be alive today. Perhaps it is this fact that makes her death s hard to bear. A healthy, 30 year old woman should not have died of a Tylenol overdose. Kristen left behind two young sons, Matt and Paul, and a husband, Paul Johnson. Kristen was a caring medical assistant at hospital near Philadelphia. I remember her as funny, a little wild, sarcastic, and loving to her family and friends. I looked up to Kristen a great deal. She abaysat for me when I was a young child, and later in life I was able to babysit for her children. It was an experience I will never forget. She was the first person who ever treated me as an adult and trusted me with responsibilities. For this I am forever grateful. Dear Kristen, if you can hear me, you need to know that everyone down here on earth loves and misses you. Your parents love and miss you. I hope where you are now is a warm and safe place. I hope you at total peace there. You were a courageous soul, Kristen and we miss you. We miss your fiery spirit. What fun we had together! I will not forget these times ever. I promise to keep an eye on Matt and Paul for you. They will be okay, and when they are older I will tell them about their great mother who loved them so very much. Rest in peace, my dear friend. I hate to say goodbye.

Dear Father altho you are gone, you are not forgotten. Your daughter, Marjorie Alene Branscome Martin

Mommy.....i thought you would live forever....you were my rock and my family...i wanted you to be proud of me....and i know you were...you loved me no matter what...that is what i am the most proud of...i could not know it would be this hard to let go of you...and yet, you are with me every day of my life...

My mother, Lillie Mae Branson, died on June 4, 2001. She was an awesome woman. She was loving, caring, and listened to us children for hours on end. Only occasionally saying, "I told you so"...She has 5 grand children and 1 great grandchild on the way. I had so wanted her to see her great grandchild. She worked all of her life, sacraficing college to work and to put food on the table. She always felt school should come first. She loved to fish, go boating, crochet, sew (she sewed all my clothes when I was in high school and they looked store bought), loved movies, visting with friends, bowling was her passion. She loved to read, her faviorite author was Louie Lamour. Her and my dad were married 42 years. They were high school sweethearts, graduating from Nevada Union High School, in Grass Valley, CA. She gave birth to 3 hard headed children, Candi, 47, Lenny 42 and Janet 39.

We miss her terribly. She was to young. She is with God and I know she is with us.

If I laugh one minute then cry the next it is because I'm remembering the joy you brought into my life, when I cry I'm still remembering the joy you brought to my life. Please know Shawn I thank you for the joys of your short life. I'm missing you and love you always. Mom

Nobody will ever make me laugh like you did. Having you around me was a gift that I didn't even realize I had. How were we supposed to know that you'd be gone now? It seems like we took it all for granted. I wish you were here to make fun of me or something:) We all love you so much and we will keep your name up high. I know you aren't hurting anymore and I am so happy that you are with Jesus. I love you man. Rest in Peace.

Joe Bigger Than The Roads Son Moma

I can't begin to tell you how very much you are missed, you were the most loving and giving person I have ever known. I thank God everyday that you were chosen to be my husband. I would have chosen to be your wife if only for one day then to spend fifty years with someone else. I know you were so tired of the pain and health problems you had to live with, that going to sleep and going home was a blessing to you. It hurt so much to let you go, but knowing that your with our heavenly father, happy and free of pain helps me get by.I hope and pray that you know how very much the children and I miss you, I love you and I'll one day be with you again. Sadly missed by Wife Nancy, Children Jimmy Joe, Cindy, Doris Ann, Rhonda, Ann, Jeff, Jamie and Wayne and grandchildren Amber, Channelle, Hunter and soon to be Dillon

Kristine, John, & I want to thank you for doing what you do so well;taking care of us...even though you're up there & we're still here. This man was one of the few truly caring people in the world. I still feel him, watching over us all. Larry spent his life making things right for others;I know he's still at it!

The world is a much darker place without the sunshine of his smiling face and soft chuckle. A simple man who cared nothing about fame or fortune...just his Harley Davidson and friends and family. He died as he lived. On his motorcycle enjoying the last beautiful day of fall. His memory will live on and his love binds family and friends together. I'm so proud to have called you brother, Larry!

John we all miss you so much. I only wish I could have gotten to know you better as a friend and a brother in-law. We have all been robbed of your kindness, and loving ways. You will be missed, but you are in a better place now. WE LOVE YOU. Whitney

My brother Matthew had a beautiful soul. Although he was only sixteen years old when his life was taken, he was loved by many, many people. He never judged people by their exterior, but rather by the person they were inside. He was loyal to his friends, and he loved his family. We love him and we miss him. He will forever be in our hearts and we will never let his memory die. He will always be our chonie man!

In loving memory of Mark Bray my husband and best friend. And also the Dad of Caroline. He died suddenly at his home on 23.02.99. Always loved and forever missed. I have known love. I have seen a love without boundaries. I have looked into the eyes of peace and hope. I have heard the voice of care and compassion. I have felt pure joy. I have been on a path few have or will ever travel. I have been blessed. I have been honoured. I have grown. I have no regrets. I have known love. Julie Bray 1999. "We still miss you chuck!"

You were taken from us so suddenly That we never got a chance to say, All the things we wanted, That we fail to say everyday. We love you so very much, You meant the world to us, You were a very important man, You never wanted anyone to make a fuss, We love you with our heart and soul, And miss you very much, We know you're up in heaven, Watching down over us. Your Loving Children - Jim, Alice, Howard, Marie, Betty, Dan, Bart & Raymond Your Loving Grandchildren - All 15 of Us

God saw you getting tired,
The cure was not to be.
So He closed His arms around you
And whispered "Come with me."
You suffered much in silence
Your spirit did not bend
You faced your pain with courage
Until the very end.
You tried so hard to stay with us
Your fight was all in vain
God took you to His loving home
And freed you from all pain.
Never does a day go by
That I don't think of you
A lump forms deep within my chest
And tears begin to flow
So many times I've needed you
To talk, to share, to laugh
If love could have saved you
You never would have died.

We played the song "One Sweet Day" at your memorial and each time we hear it, we will think of you.

Your loving husband - Howard
Your six loving children - Paul, Kelly, Karen, Crystal, Brendon & Sean
Your three loving grandchildren - Brittney, Jason & Austin

We miss you deeply and think of you always. All our love.

God saw you getting tired, The cure was not to be. So He closed His arms around you And whispered "Come with me" You suffered much in silence Your spirit did not bend You faced your pain with courage Until the very end You tried so hard to stay with us Your fight was all in vain God took you to His loving home And freed you from all pain Never does a day go by That I don't think of you A lump froms deep within my chest And tears begin to flow So many times I've needed you To talk, to share, to laugh If love could have saved you You never would have died. We lost both you and Doreen one week apart and both to the fateful disease of cancer. Our hope is that one day, they will find a cure.

In loving memory of our daughter, Jennifer.
We love and Miss you so much.
Love, Mommy & Daddy

Sissy you will be forever Sweet 16..we all miss you more than you could ever know. You were a beautiful,sweet and caring person. All that gets me thru is knowing that you are in a better place and you are at peace, you no longer have to fight the demons of the dis-order that was making your life so hard. Always remember Momma Loves you "Truly,Madly,Deeply" and I always will. I look at your picture and play that song and sing it to you every day, you made it to the top of the mountain baby and Momma will see you there one day. I love you baby girl

This world just isn't the same without you CoCo -- We used to laugh at the stupidest things - pewter dragons and crystal wizards. I miss you terribly. We were great together - even during the bad times. Towards the end I was too angry at you and at myself to appreciate our relationship. You left us almost a year ago and I hope you've found the peace you couldn't capture in life. Not a day passes that I don't think about you. Everything fell apart at the end -- I didn't abandoned you, I think deep down you knew that. I was just hurt -- forgiveness is the hardest part. I blame myself, I blame you. One day I'll be able to let that go. C., I know we'll see each other again -- on the other side. F.

Grandad...

Now you are gone, there are so many things I wished I said, so many letters I wrote but never sent, the distance between us hiding the passing of time, the effects of the cancer... and now its too late and here i am...on the other side of the world chastising myself for never actualy telling you how much you meant to me...unable to reverse time...

I love you grandad...

I will always smile when i think of the times you used to rub your stubble on my chin as a child, the holidays at Butlins, the thick toast, bacon and half a grapefruit for breakfast no matter how late i got up in the morning.

You were a man who was strong and kind and I can honestly say that you were respected so much.

But it is wrong to wish you were still here... you were in a lot of pain and the real grandad was already long departed before your body gave in... I like to think that you chose to go...that you were at peace.

I've not really lost a grandfather, I've gained a guardian angel and i will talk to you each day and aspire to be as strong and loving as you were. When I get my teaching diploma this year, I will imagine you are right by my side to see me finally achieve my dream, just as you will be in my thoughts when i finally find Mr. right and stop "courting" and settle down with my own little family.

love you grandad... I keep hearing your voice in my head, saying "Don't worry duck... it'l be alright" and you know what, with you watching over me, everything will be just fine.. when I can finally remember with a smile rather than a tear all the love and happiness you brought to this world.

You will always live in my heart.

You were the best step-dad anyone could ask for. I just want you to know that I miss you very much and think about you every day. I will never forget the special times that we shared, and all the precious times that we shared together. You are missed dearly by me and I guess I never had the chance to tell you that I loved you and you were a very important part of my life.

You were a nice guy because you jumped from the sky-scraper. And I hope that you are in the heaven now.

Uncle Cliford may you join the family that has gone home before the rest of us. May you have ever lasting peace and joy in God's arms

My Grandmother loved God, more than life itself. After a long bout with pain she is now at peace. She had a Happy Death.

In loving memory of my Grandfather. A great husband, father, grandfather, and a great printer. Died to soon. Gramp, I will never forget you.

Mark, I wish I would have known you. My dear little brother what a great time we could have had. I think of you often. God came and welcomed you when it was time. Please come welcome me when my time comes. Your big brother Rick.

It has been a year since you left us Jeremy and you are most heartily missed. Not only for the great detective but for so many others you brought so brillantly to life . We hope you rest in peace.

Rest in peace Sherlock Holmes. We will never forget you.

Andi was a 12 year-old girl who loved life. She loved animals and children. She wanted to be a school teacher when she grew up. She wanted to keep every stray animal that followed her home. She was taken from us tragically on May 15, 1999. She was abducted from her living-room, taken to a remote location where she was raped and strangled. Three days after her disappearance, an uncle by marriage, confessed to authoritues and led them to her body. He is awaiting trial on a First Degree Capital Murder charge. We are emotionally crushed. We are living a nightmare that cannot be felt by others who have not walked in our shoes. We miss our daughter terribly and will love her forever. We miss her sweet smile and her high pitched giggle. We want others to remember her for her innocence and love for life.

Although I never met you you touched the lives of many people in Saint John and across the nation.From the tragic cercumstances of your death to the not near enough sentancing of your parents.As we read in horror each day the circumstances in which you lived your short life I as well of millions cried. You don't have to be rich to love a child If you have a child you already are I am considered a pretty hard nosed person,I don't cry at the drop of a hat it takes a lot but as I read about the tragic circumstances of your life I shed many tears,many days,many times.It was hard to beleive that any one let alone your own parents could neglect you.How could they leave you in your room for hours and days on end,alone,afraid and all too often hungry.And if that wasn't bad enough i listened and read in horror at how you lay dead for 9 hrs before being discovered.I still cannot beleive there are such cruel heartless people,and that they are allowed to conceive children.Well you are with God now and your sister and brother are safe with your aunt you deserve the happiness I know you now have its just a shame that a child has to die in order to be loved. i hope anyone who reads this short tribute to Jacqueline,if you have a child give them an extra hug and please don't ever let them or any child die needlessly.

A man of compassion and kindness. A man of dreams and imagination. A man of love and honor. A man of truth and integrity. A man who will be greatly missed. I miss you Johnny and always will.

Until then, dont forget that i will always love you more than life itself.

Barry was savagely murdered by person(s) yet unknown as of this date (06 Jun 1999). He is very much missed by his parents, sister, niece's and nephew. This tradgedy has cause severe pain and problems for the whole family. We can only wait and hope that the police arrive at some conclusion to this crime and apprehend the criminals who could have done this. While the police detectives working on this case have very positive hopes, the police chief in Albuquerque, Jerry Galvin, does not seem to share the detectives enthusiasm. He has had to be pressured by the families of murdered victims in Albuquerque to make homocides the number one priority. He does "mouth" the right words but his actions are less then satisfactory.

Our dog Sandy was the best pet. She was such a loyal dog. She was a very special part of our family and is missed dearly by all of us. It is very different without her. We will always remember her in our hearts and share the special memories that we have of her. She will never be forgotten. I hope she is in a better place now and that one day we will be with her again.

God looked around his garden and saw an empty space;
He looked down from heaven and saw your smiling face;
He put his arms around you and whispered,"Come to rest".
His garden must be beautiful for he picks only the best.
It broke all our hearts to lose you; but you did not go alone;
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
A million times we've cried, if love could have saved you, you never would have died.
Forever In Our Hearts...
Carol Darlene Ford)Brian was a very special Mother,Sister,Aunt,Friend,Grandma........................... We will miss you always
Love your family

i love u so much pops miss u everyday love ur grandaughter sarah xxxxxxxx

To a wonderful friend who I will always remember. I think about you all the time Harry.

Girl You Got Some LipStick!

Love you Always.

Who could have thought you'd be gone so soon after my mom. Thank you for all the fun times. Being there for the bad. The pats on the back. The kicks in the rear. Your wonderful laugh. Being my best friend. I miss you each and every day. Deborah

You'd be amazed, Dad. Thank you for your guidance. Someday we'll get the chance to talk about it all. Rick

Our precious baby boy was taken from us in his sleep, the silent killer, "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome " (SIDS). So healthy, so beautiful, he was a gift from God.

And shall the angels come to call much sooner than you've planned will you try to bear the bitter grief and try to understand.

"The rose-lipped girls are sleeping in fields where flowers fade." I met Courtney as a peewee cheerleader. It took me a little while to get used to her confidence and cockiness, but after I knew her well, I came to love her. She was beautiful and always in the mood to party. I wanted to be like her. A year and a half ago, Courtney, and another friend, Jamie, were killed in a car crash. They were in the backseat when the truck's driver slammed into a pole. They died almost instantly. They were sixteen. Courtney was a wrestling cheerleader, a member of her church's youth group, and an aspiring police officer. She was an angel then and she is one now. She is deeply missed by family and friends.

Loving wife and mother, friend to all, you are missed every day by those who knew you. You are now one with Our Lord for whom you lived life. I was blessed to have you as my wife for those 22 wonderful years. May I be so fortunate to spend eternity at your side. Your Everlovin' Tom

Precious Son, sometimes I still can't believe you are gone. I miss you so very much. You are constantly on my mind and in my heart, your name is always on my lips. I dream of you and wish I could see you again! Here is the first of several poems I have written for you...I love you so very much, Mom./

I Wish/

I wish I had said, “I love you”/
Everytime the thought came into my head./
I wish I had kissed you/
Everytime I wanted to…no matter what you said./

I wish I could hear your voice,/
Touch your skin, and hold you tight./
And have one more chance to say/
“I love you, sweet dreams and good night.”/

I wish I could hear your jokes again,/
Hear you laugh and get a little loud./
Hear about your crazy pranks,/
I don’t think I’d let them bother me now./

I wish more than anything/
You had not gotten in the truck and shut the door,/
Then Dee would not have called and said,/
“It’s Jay. He’s had a wreck./
He’s not with us anymore.”/

Your smile, your touch, our quiet talks when curled up side by side./
All the good and even the bad/
Are all just memories now./
Sometimes they make me happy, sometimes they make me sad./

You stood for what you believed in/
And fought for what is right./
Your friends knew they could count on you/
No matter what time of day or night./

With such a handsome face/
And a personality to match/
The girls were always dreaming/
They’d be your lucky catch./

Schoolwork was never/
Your idea of a having a great time/
But all the teachers loved you/
Because you were honest, hard working and kind./

I miss you more every day/
And I shed a lot of tears./
But I know in my heart that I was blessed/
To be your Mom for 16 years./

Written by: Barbie Stoner/
In loving memory of my son, Jay/

Poppy,

You will never know how much we miss you. You have only been gone a little over two weeks as I write this but it's been like a year of pain. We love you so much and hope that you are with God and selling cars and buses just like you would want to. We hope that Teke is right beside you and that you are finally put to rest from your frustratration. We were shocked that you went so fast but we are glad that you didn't suffer. We love you so much and can't wait to see you again

P.S the turnout was great..did you see that big article about you. I bet you are eating that up. Love you --Erica

Always remembered my brother in law
who died following a brave struggle with Parkinson's disease

Dearest Granny, I wander if you know how much we miss you. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and see your smile, hear your voice, and wish you were still here with us. You were the kindest, most caring, loving granny any kids could have. We all have many, many wonderful memories of you and the things we used to do. We know you are happy in heaven and that Jesus and the angels are taking good care of you. May you rest in peace, and always know that you are loved and missed dearly. Children, Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren

I know from where you are, your watching out for me. Remember I love you Grampa Himmi

The time I spent with you were some of my greatest memories. Your'll always have a special place in my heart. Ricky

Eloise & Dad cry for you every day, Young Fella.Safe now in the arms of Jesus.Say "gidday" to the old people, & cousin Peter.We need your loving spirit with us always.When we hear a bird sing his praise, we hear your voice in the harmony of heaven jamming along.You were a true blue Aussie boy, a wild boy in the bush, swimming in creeks and mountain bike riding, Loved books, computers and music.You started out on Ludwig drums and played gigs with The Buskeroos.When you were 12 you turned to guitar.We long to hear those licks again. Long live U2 and all the bands with a God spirit message.Pray for us to give us the strength to cope with having you die on us so suddenly. Sergeant "Pepper" sends her love too.The dog/human misses all the fun you used to have.Go bush Go bush Young bloke!Keep sending that love back to Earth.Now is the time to sing: "Shall We Gather at the River'.We will see you after the purpose of our lives has been conceptualised and achieved Love forever Waylon James Brock

Valerie was a friend in high school. She was an unusual girl but very intelligent and kind. I lost track of her for years and when she read my daughter's obituary she called a mutual friend and asked him to send us flowers. That was October 9, 1994; a few days later, while reaching for the telephone, she died of a heart attack. She was creative and good. One less person to change the world. Her friends miss her.

Dad I miss you so much not a day goes buy without me thinking I love you so much

It is almost two years since you passed through the light to be with Mom. Tell Mom that I love and miss her so much. But Dad without you here in my life, the pain is impossile to bear. I miss you so much Daddy. You were my strength. I know you are happy to be with Mom once again. Not a day goes by that I have both of you in my thoughts. I love you Daddy. Love,your daughter Carol

On March 1,1983, I lost my best friend. There wasn't a day that passed by that her knowledge and wisdom taught me something new. She showed me how important the simplist things of life would be, like to say please and thank you. She taught me how to smile through the rough times and more so through the good times. I miss her dearly, not just as my friend--but as my Mom. Love daughter Carol

Beloved son - your life ended so soon. You had so much to give this world. God knew how special you are and now you are with all our family who had gone before. The day will come, my beautiful son, that we all will join you. It will be a wonderful reunion. Until then, Erik, you will never leave my heart.

Delia Francisca Guerrero Brooks, the light and life of our family, we miss her so much. Life has been so difficult since, Mom, my best friend died. I keep our memories of laughter and good times in my heart. Her unconditional love and inspiration of faith will have a far reaching affect on those who knew her well. She was the rose that followed the light and bloomed with God's love. Her sense of humor (including her terrible puns) gave us such joy. I love you, Mom, and miss you. Dad will always love you. And your sons can never forget all you did for them. Hasta luego, me madre y amiga!

Wenn du bei Nacht den Himmel anschaust,
wird es dir sein, als lachten alle Sterne,
weil ich auf einem von ihnen wohne,
weil ich auf einem von ihnen lache.

Du allein wirst Sterne haben, die lachen können!

(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - DER KLEINE PRINZ)

We will never forget you will!!!!

Will was a great kid. We all miss him! We don't even know what happened to him-the school never told us. He loved to build things and be in charge-a real leader, though he and I sometimes went head-to-head. Now that he's gone, we miss him really badly. Will, man, you were the greatest, we miss you lots and we hope you didn't kill yourself like it was rumored, we don't know. If you did, it was your choice and the right one for you, I guess. Good-bye William.

My precious daughter Kara,

I miss you every moment of every day. You were my only child, my dearest friend, the best part of me. The hole in my heart is huge and aches with a pain that cannot be described. Until we are together again in eternity, I will have no peace.

Love you forever,
Mom

Nous pensons toujours à toi malgré ton absence. Ta famille Elliott:papa Edmond. maman Gisèle, tes soeurs Louise et Hélène, ton beau-frère Ugo, Dominic, Brigitte et Michel-Olivier

I loved you all. I hope you are sleeping well in heaven. We are all doing fine here. As you can see Lee and Kyle are grown up. I now have 3 horses at my house. You guys would have loved it here.

I love you forever and ever Daddy, Mommy and Richard your little girl and sister Susie

You touched everyone's life that you came in touch with. Your brilliant smile and warmth will remain with us forever. We miss you and are always thinking of you!

You are the light of our lives, the spark that lead us to appreciate the beauty in this world.

A lovely person who helped so many.

She was truly dedicated to her work as an Educational Psychologist with Warwickshire Local Education Authority for many years.

It is so hard that my fiancée's mother had to die. She died quickly and it was so sudden that none of us knew what to think. My fiancée's family didn't have a funeral for her so I thought that this would be the best way to mourn her death. Christine was a very loving, caring person who loved her children and her husband very much. She will always remain alive in my mind. Even though I only met her once I felt that I had already know her for a lifetime. It is just so hard to realize that she will not be there to see her son and I get married. At this point I am trying to figure out how to incorporate her in the wedding. She will be missed by all those who love her.

Courtney was born still on January 11,1981. She would have been 22 years old today. She was perfectly healthy all throughout the pregnancy, up until the night before she was to be born then she stopped moving. I was rushed to the hospital at 12:00 a.m. the doctor came in and told my husband and I that everything was just fine, well after five long hours of pushing her lifeless body came into this world, appearently the doctor had made a mistake because she was not fine the umbilical cord was wrapped twice around her neck.She was loved dearly. She know has a little brother Justin Chase born 10-20-82 and a little Sister Ashley Nicole born 8-1-86. I was also told that I would never be able to carry another baby,Ashley and Justin were not adopted.Justin is know 20 and attends Texas A&M University. Ashley is a sophomore in high school and she just got her driver's lisence she is so happy.We love you Courtney. Love, Mom, Dad, Justin, & Ashley

1999 - Dane - I miss you more than words can ever say. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I never can understand how you could leave me. Sarah graduated this year and she misses you. It seems so long ago that you left. I try so hard to hear your voice in my head. Sometimes I convince myself that I laugh like you. Strange isn't it. I wish I could remember in detail every thing that we ever did together. I just know that I had the best childhood, because you were there. I miss your jokes and your sneers, your bright shining blue eyes. I miss calling you on your birthday. I miss telling you I love you when we talked. I like to think had you really known how we would hurt, you couldn't have left, but I don't want to think you were in pain. Sleep well all the time. Till I see you again, I love you with all my heart. Your sister - Kat

"Great Sadness" I have to say that lately a great sadness has come over me. Your passing has left me feeling down- more than a little melancholy. I have images of you in photos and impressions in my memory. But I had to wait until you are gone to know that you're a special lady. Why didn't I write to you more, or even go to see you? But death has locked that obvious door, and now all I can do is miss you. So many things about you I now realize I never knew- and this poem of apology is about the best that I can do. I will have to wait to see you in heaven, but if you're not there, I won't go. So many things to be sad about- all the things that I now know. What is this great sadness? Could it be regret? I'm sure that you're in a happier place, the one that you find in death. I never really knew you, did I, Beth? I think that is what this great sadness is- Love never dies Your sister Caroline

Ma i miss you so much . love connie daughter#3

Dad, grandpa and great grandpa we miss you and think of you often.

We miss you so much. It is not the same here without you. I miss your sense of humor. I got the special box that you wanted me to have. It means so much to me. We put a rose on your grave a couple of days ago. You are now resting beside Travis. Take care of him. We will see you again someday. We love you always and forever!

Because I never got to say goodbye,because I never got to say I love you one more time,because you will never know how much I miss you,I can only leave this message in honor of you and you memory. CoCo

This memorial is dedicated to celebrate the life of baby Jacob. Although his time here was brief, the love that he left behind and brought with him to heaven, will go on for eternity. Remember Jacob, for he will live in the hearts of all those who love him.

To a great kid, that was loving, caring, and horendously funny. The pain is gone.

Dad ... your death was such a complete & sudden shock to all of us. You went in your sleep ... you didn't suffer ... how very wonderful for you. How very sad for all of us. You are missed terribly ... there's not a day that goes by that we don't think of you with love in our hearts. Thank you for being the wonderful person you were. We miss you!

My 'little' Grandma died age 90. She was small in stature, yet great in character, personality and presense. Our family, her children and grand children were touched by her love and care. We spent her last days singing favourite songs, talking and drinking tea. She is my very special Grandma.

Isaac was my first nephew. I was pretty young and thought he was just about the cutest boy ever! As he grew up he came to me with all the things that he thought no one understood but him. We became pretty close. More like brother and sister than aunt and nephew. He was one tough kid but one day he decided he couldn't take life's pain any more. So, he chose not to come to me this time. He chose to leave this world. I know that God is a merciful God and took Isaac home. And I'm sure for the very first time Isaac knows true happiness and pure joy in the hand of our Lord and Savior. He will always be remembered and loved. Isaac, my sweet nephew, rest in eternal peace. We will always miss you.
Love forever
Aunt Toni

Billy, Youve been gone for almost 20 years,Not one day has gone by that I havent missed you,Remember the flowers Gone But Not Forgotten. I love you

“Sho’ is Good”

That was one of Billy’s favorite sayings. Billy was known as William to some, Bill to others, and Uncle Billy to his adoring nieces and nephews. Some friends and family members, especially those in my generation called him, “Billy.”

I am acting as proxy for Billy’s mother, Jeanne, today. These are her words she would like to say to all the family and friends gathered here today.

“Sho’ is Good.“ Billy was good. He was good in many ways. He had a big heart and wasn’t afraid to be generous. He was an accomplished carpenter and a Class A licensed electrician. He was known throughout his working career as a conscientious craftsman. In fact, when talking to his boss the other day, he said of Billy, “Every day when he came to work was like a breath of fresh air.” He said Billy received letters of commendation from a number of his work sites in the past six months. He freely donated his skills to worthy causes. One such example is all the work he has done at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in DeKalb, Illinois. He appreciated the veterans and they appreciated him. In talking to one of his VFW friends the other day, he referred to Billy as a “keeper.”

Billy was a keeper. It’s too bad we couldn’t keep him longer. He had a keen wit, a wicked sense of humor, and knew how to talk to people from all walks of life, young, old, and every age in between.

When Jeanne married Doug Dall in 1980, he came with parents, three children, a sister, a nephew, and a niece and assorted cousins. Jeanne came with a father, five children and two sisters and brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles, and cousins. A miracle of sorts occurred - their blended family actually became a loving, solid family to include the brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Billy was a great son. He took care of all things electrical in Jeanne and Doug’s house. They loved to go to restaurants together, the more participants, the better. He was especially good at tackling crab legs at the buffets. Oooh. “Sho is good.”

But Billy was also an excellent cook. He became quite expert in grilling hamburgers, turkeys, and especially ribs. And, it did not matter if it were hot or cold outside. He weathered it all. He was also good at other dishes. He made an excellent salsa, pepper jelly, and other goodies. He was very happy when cooking for his family and friends.

Billy was a great brother. He loved doing many things with his sisters and brothers, especially going to Bears football games, Las Vegas, and the local boats for the buffets and maybe a little blackjack and roulette.

Billy was also a wonderful uncle. He loved his nieces and nephews and the feeling was returned. Billy’s gift of gab with anyone of any age endeared him to the youngsters in a big way.

Billy was also a great nephew. He treated his aunts and uncles with great respect. Again, his turn with a word ensured open communication with this older generation.

Billy was a great cousin, treating his cousins like his siblings. In fact, he was truly a family loving guy.

But wait! There’s more! Billy was a great friend. He had virtual computer friends, and real-life friends - some of them life long friends from elementary school - that are here today.

It is impossible to sum up Billy’s life in a few short words. He had a complicated life at times, but the past few years were years of seeking happiness and enjoyment. He was dearly loved and will be missed by all.

This is in honor of Richard Calmer Browy. Father, Mentor, Friend and Santa. Richard loved life, he loved his children, and loved being a Santa for the kids. His life was a testament of Christian faith and his love of others was his deepest commitment. Even towards the end of his life, his love for his children was evident to all who encountered this gentle soul. We will miss him and know he joins his Mother, his Sister Miriam, and his Grandson Ryan around the Throne of Christ in joyful praise! Thank you Dad for all you did for all of us kids and thank you for all you taught us. We love and will miss your kind gentle voice and your peaceful heart. Love always, Your Children, Sandy, Steve, Scott, Stuart and Susie.

Ryan was a happy and caring 12 year old. His love of animals and people goes without saying. He would laugh and sing when he would bounce up and down the stairs. It was if his main goal in life was to make others happy and laugh. No problem could last against his wit and joy. As his father, I watched Ryan accept Jesus in 1995 and it has been the most comforting thing I have been able to draw from since his death. Ryan was more than just my son, we were friends. My life has been enriched and blessed since he was born and I will miss him greatly. Your Mom, your brother Eric, and I will miss you very much Ryan. We love you very much and know you are happy in the arms of Jesus. Love Dad

We love you Clint and we miss you.

Survived by wife Gloria, daughter Theresa, son Benny, grandson Nicholas, granddaughter Calista, son-in-law Chris, brothers Tommy, David and Billy Mac, sister Patricia. He loved his dog Scooter and Mississippi State Football. He loved watching any kind of football on the weekends. He loved musicals and most any kind of music. He loved vacationing in Florida or "the pond". He spent most of his life suffering in one way or another. We know he is happy now that he is with his mother and that the suffering is finally over.

I'll always be with you, closer than ever . . .

I love you like the sister that I never had. You were strong, independent, compassionate, and most of all caring. I hope the angels are taking care of you. I remember the moment you came into my life, and the moment you left it. The thought of you brings back memories of sitting on your swingset, gazing at the stars, and talking about life. I miss your smile, your laugh, everything about you. I love you.

ALL IS WELL! Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you, Whatever we were to each other, that we still are, Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference into your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow, Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together, Play, smile, think of me, pray for me, Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, Let it be spoken without effect, Without the trace of a shadow on it, Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, There is absolutely unbroken continuity, Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?I am but waiting for you, For an interval, Somewhere very near, Just around the corner, All is well.

In memory of my mam, May the winds of time blow softly in your ear, how much I love and miss you mam and wish you were still here, sadly missed, Sandra, Alistair, and Michael.

Rodger would have really gotton a kick out of having this tribute on the Internet. In the last year of his life he developed a passion for computers. He was very excited when the heart transplant hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana allowed him to hook up his system in his room, as he waited several months for a heart to come for him. The minister at his funeral commented that all of the other heart transplant patients learned computer skills from Rodger! He watched so many come and go with new strong hearts. He encouraged them to live life to the fullest. They were all there, at his funeral. He will always remain missed. As you read this, remember Rodger, and consider organ donation.Miss you Rodger.......Camie Edson

You were a great friend, a wonderful person, but most of all, you were the best brother anyone could ever have.

we love you forever.

In loving Memory of our son, brother and uncle who died aged 19 years as a result of a motorbike accident. Never forgotten and always in our hearts. Eldest son of Johanna, brother of Boudewijn (Bob), Arthur and Eleonora, uncle of Robert, Melissa, Adriaan, Alan, Jacob & Kristen.

Oh, our precious baby. Only five and a half weeks old. Your mommy and daddy loved you even before we concevied you. You are our Ahava. Ahava means "beloved one" in Hebrew, and since we will never know your gender, we choose this name to describe you. You are the purest essence of our love, and we will always love our first child, our darling Ahava. You are not a miscarriage to put behind us, but a child to celebrate and to mourn. You are missed every single minute of every day.
Mommy and Daddy
Eric and Carla Brumble

My beloved father found out that he had a brain tumor in November of 2002. He was only given a few months to live. He fought for almost 22 months. I am so proud to call this man my father. Daddy, you will live forever in my heart. I will love and miss you forever.
Love,

In Memory of Audrey Louise Brummett - my mother. Audrey was born in Bogey Depot, Oklahoma, on February 21, 1921, to John and Tressie Hazelwood Jordan. She was wed to Willard F. Brummett on October 7, 1939. From this union came four children, John, Judith, Sandra, and Stephen. Her son, John, joined her in her Heavenly Home August 19, 1994.

At the time of her death, she had six grandchildren, Marty, Mitchell, Greg, Scott, Jeanette, and David. Waiting to be presented to their grandmother when they ascend to Heaven are Ryan, Michael, and Bryan. Great grandchildren are Brittany, Adam, Jordan, Ashley, Cody, and Dusty. They will know her from loving stories and memories told to them by their parents and grandparents.

We will all gather in Paradise for a wonderful reunion!

Willard Ford Brummett was born November 17, 195 to Jennie and George Brummett in Lakeview, Texas. He married Audrey Louise Jordan on October 7, 1939. His wife preceded him in death April 28, 1983. They had four children, John, who died August 19, 1994, Judith, Sandra, and Stephen. He had nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. His loving family was with him in the weeks before his death, wanting to cherish each and every moment with this wonderful, kind man. He departed this life to go home to be with the Lord and reunited with his wife and son. Those of us left on this earth without Daddy will always remember his life and his philosophy. On February 6, 1997, God sent an angel to escort Daddy's soul from his tired, weakened, diseased body. He is now free of pain, and waiting for the rest of his loved ones to join Mother and him in Heaven. He carried cards printed with the following verse with him always, and more than that, lived the credo of the message. Daddy was always ready to help anyone, regardless of the cost to him. He was a living example of Christ's commandment, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and was more than his brother's keeper, he helped everyone who asked for help, and some that didn't ask. He always said; "If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say any thing at all." His faith and his Bible brought him much comfort. Before the many surgeries in his last years, he was never apprehensive, he always said he had the Greatest Physician to care for him. He said he trusted his body to the doctors and his soul to the Lord, so he had nothing to worry about. We, who are left will always miss you, but we are glad you have gone home, hurting no longer and are with Mother once again. We love you Daddy! The card Daddy carried with him reads: Kindness - I shall pass through this world but once If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing that I can do, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

He was the youngest son of Jack and Juanita Brundidge. Born in Corpus Christi Texas. He joined his sister, Glenda and brother, Danny. He was only 6 when diagnosed with a brain tumor. While the rest of us were falling apart, he met each day with humor, love, and courage. He was a gift from God, and we treasure every day we were able to spend with him. The day he died, though blind, he sat up in his bed and told his Grandmother that Jesus was in the room, He commented on the Lord's beauty and then he lay down as if asleep. Though, I was miles away in another state, I felt his spirit come to me to say one last goodbye and touch my heart with his love. I was only 13 yrs old, but I knew he had left this world behind and started a new journey. Now, our mother has joined him, and he has aunts and a grandfather to keep him company. I will forever miss the little brother, the boy, the treasure of God's love. Take care of mother, Patrick, 'til I get there.

Forever Loved and Remembered.

Its been four years now since you left us. You left behind alot of lovely memories of you which your friends and family will remember always.

Forever Loved and Remembered.

Its been four years now since you left us. You left behind alot of lovely memories of you which your friends and family will remember always.

Joseph, we miss you, we love you.

Joseph, we miss you dearly.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be; so he put his arms around you, and whispered"Come to me"

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

Kelsey, mijn lieve kleine jongen...
Wat zijn wij allemaal zo fier op jou!
Je droeg je ziekte met een enorme pracht.
Je was een voorbeeld voor velen.
Bedankt kleine man voor al de mooie lessen die we van je leerden.
Het spijt mama en papa zo dat we voor jou niet méér hebben kunnen doen.
Ik hoop dat we ooit weer samen kunnen zijn.
Mama, papa, broer en zus missen je lieve schat!!!

Dag mijn kleine broertje,
Ik kan niet zeggen wat ik voel,
ik kan niet schrijven wat ik bedoel.
Ik heb het nooit echt tegen je gezegd,
maar ik hou van jou.....echt!

Love & miss you nephew

To the brother I never knew: you were born and died before I was ever imagined. I can only wonder what kind of brother you would be to me, your baby sister, today. Our family has such a hard time getting along-if you were here, would things be different? I never knew you, big brother, but I love you and wish I could have had the chance to get to know you. Peace big brother.

My dad died after a lengthy battle with lung cancer. He wasn't the perfect father in a lot of ways, but he was mine, and I miss him. I feel like I let him down when he was so sick, because I couldn't deal with his illness. I hope he can forgive me. Please be a peace, daddy. Please be at peace.

My mother died when I was 16 years old-stubborn and just being a teenager. I'm older now, and there are so many things I wish I could have told her. There are so many things in my life she's not going to be around for...my marriage, the birth of my children. I miss her so much...it's been so hard to try to go on. Please be at peace mother. Please be at peace.

My sweet, precious baby. I lost you before I ever had the chance to see your precious face or even know if you were a girl or a boy. You left me 5 1/2 weeks into your life inside of me. Everytime I see someone holding a baby, my heart breaks a little more. I'm calling you K.C. for my name, Katie, and your daddy's name, Corey, since we didn't know if you were a girl or a boy. I know you are in heaven with grandma and grandpa and uncle Danny. My peace to you, little one. Mommy loves you.

CJ, We love you still, and we will always miss you. We thank God for letting you be a part of our lives. Bay and Lisa
