Zugeeignet der liebevollen Erinnerung an meine Großmutter Gertrud Buß, geborene Kist, verheiratet mit Emil Buß (1908 bis 1996), Mutter von fünf Kindern, Großmutter von sieben Enkeln und Urgroßmutter von drei Urenkeln. Möge sie in Frieden ruhen. Stephan M. Rother M.A.

George, you were truly a wonderful person, and are thought of all of the time. Your sense of humor was one of a kind, one that can never be replaced. You were the best surrogate father I had, and are terribly missed. God love and bless you.

We never really got to express our love for each other. We were always guarded. I pray that in your heart you knew that I loved you and I pray that you have found the peace that so often eluded you in life. Two weeks ago Treesie went to be with you and Pappy and all the other pets we have had over the years. Take care of her for me until we all see each other again.

I do love you and am so sorry I never said it.

Your daughter - Peggy

In Memory of Pappy. We miss you terribly. I can still hear your voice and your quiet laughter. I hope you know how much you are loved. I picture you sitting on a cloud in the sunshine, holding your fishing pole while Harley and Brandy, Penny, Suzy, and Treesie all frolic around you. I guess Mom is in the kitchen preparing dinner. Take care of everyone til we meet again. I love you.

Your loving daughter, Peggy

Alison was 37years of age when she was found dead at the family home by her eldest brother. Chronic alcoholism was the cause of her death. Alison was offered help by all her brothers and sister, but rejected every one. She stayed with her mother and managed to turn the whole family against one another. Well Alison, you are no longer hgere and I can only hope that your tortured soul has finally found the peace and happiness in death, that it could not find in life. Regretting what you done because now we will never have answers. Your big sister Elizabeth.

For my mother, a weak and timid woman, who would not stand up for herself, or the majority of her children. I hope you've gone onto better things. I know that you're back in your pre marraige years, cause you were talking about Margaret. Mum you were never designed to be a wife, or have children. They were things that you proved you couldn't cope with. Rest in peace. Your eldest Elizabeth.

He was only 32 when he was taken from us and the loss isstill felt keenly years later. Gordon Buchanan possessed a magical soul and special spirit that touched and changed the lives of many people. I only knew him three months, but we both felt as though we'd known each other forever. In thosethree special months, we shared a lifetime of friendship. I can still hear his laughter, see the light in his eyes andfeel the warmth of his hugs. He worried more abouthow others would do after he was gone than about his own dying, even though he suffered greatly from the AIDS. Gordon, you will never be forgotten, my friend. Your light shines on in those of us who loved you and were fortunate enough to know you in your brief time on earth. Forever your friend, Tricia Morgan

MY ANGEL IN HEAVEN! We may no longer be together, As you're not here with me anymore. But I still feel you deep in my heart, Just the same as it was before. For I could never forget my love, Or my beautiful memories of you. And I know that even in Heaven, You still recall those memories too. When I gaze up at Heaven to you, And you look down on me. Our smiles light up the whole sky, For all of Heaven and Earth to see. Our love will always live on, As our souls will forever be connected. God made our cherished souls immortal, So our love for each other, would be protected. Knowing that you are at peace, Brings comfort to my sad heart. And I know God will take care of you, Now that we are apart. Until we are together again, And sharing our heavenly home. I will always have my Angel in Heaven, Smiling down on me, and never be alone. **author unknown My Dear Sweet Bob, The years seem to keep on going no matter how my heart screams for them to stop. You have been 'my Love' since the day we met, and it continues to be true. Until we are together again, keep watch. I Love you, Lynda

This a tribute to my wonderful Mother. Momma I always thought that I would have you forever. But oh so soon God took you with him. I know that you are with God. You were the best Mother in the world. You always put us kids first in everything. We were so lucky to have you as our Mother. I loved you so much and I really miss you as much today as I did the day you died. You will never be forgotten as I think of you everyday. I guess I never expressed to you how much I loved you but I am sure that you knew. I just want to thank you so much for being such a wonderful role model I only wish I could follow in your footsteps... Thank you for being my Mother.

Tonight when all is quiet,
And everyone is asleep.
Your dreams and mine
Will finally come true,
And maybe Daddy's too.
Your cowboy boots on when murdered,
And your baseball trophy too.
Shall all be in their proper place,
And that is with you.
Together at last, just wait and see,
Together, forever, never to part us three.

my life here is gone away
since you left, there is no reason to stay.
life and death are one of the same,
it does not matter about the name.
what is there left when everyone is gone,
there is nothing in this world,for to carry on.
at the end of the road, there is no light.
when i visit you, all i can see,
is a love that is held very dear to me.
i loved you then, and i love you now,
more than words can ever tell.
now my visits to you shall never end,
we have finally won, my son, my friend.
together at last,just wait and see,
together, forever, never to part us three

I miss you so much Granpop...I know you were in pain and that now you have gone to a better place, but that doesn't stop it hurting inside....Good Night God Bless.

This is to memorialize David Hall Buehler, who chose to take his own life just before Christmas 1975. This memorial is being placed a few weeks prior to what would've been his 40th birthday, August 31, 1997. He was 18 years old when he took his life. David: I will miss you and pray for you every single day of my life. You had no idea what you meant to me. I knew you were in trouble but I was even younger than you were, and I didn't know how to reach you, but I did try. There are so many things I regret, so many things I should've done to try to help you, but I was too young and too afraid. I have wondered ever since I learned of your death if anything I might've done could've made a difference. Through the rumor mill I heard that your suicide note said something about "not being able to take the loneliness anymore". When I heard that, it cut me to the heart, because David, more than anything on this earth, I wanted to take away your loneliness! I loved you, I wanted to understand you, you were precious to me, you were my first love, my ideal. In my mind I still see your beautiful face before me, I still hear your wonderful voice, I remember every detail about you that I loved so much. There were times during your brief lifetime that you made me so incredibly happy, you never knew how happy you made me! Thank you David, for having been a part of my tender coming-of-age years. I have long since forgiven you for killing yourself and I feel that God understands and has too. And David, you will never wholly die as long as I am alive, because I carry you in my heart everywhere I go. I pray unceasingly for you to go ever further into God's Light, and that someday you will be there to meet me when I make the journey to the other side. God bless you and keep you always David. I love you. T.L.S.

Gerison was a beautiful little baby boy. He was a joy to the world that only his parents could have given us. He didn't get to spend a lot of time on this earth, but I feel honored that God let me have any time with him at all. I pray that his Mom and Dad are finding solace in the Lord. Only God knows why he left so soon. Goodbye, littlest angel. Love, Jasmine

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Five years have come and gone and we still ask God why he gave you to us just to take you away so soon. I never knew a heart could be so broken and still beat. Please come visit me in my dreams. It's geting so hard to remember all the little details of the 3 hours we had together as a family. Mommy and Daddy still have empty arms that were ment to be holding you. Till we meet again in Heaven be strong my little baby girls. Mommy and Daddy love you more than words can say and always will.

Promises of forever,
the next time we meet...
not always possible--
life takes defeat.

There is no tomorrow,
no flowers, no rain.
Only the memories,
only the pain.

The tears cleanse my soul
as I tremble and cry...
my heart will remember--

I won't say goodbye.

--Marni Lynn Sabin

Andy, I will never forget you. Thinking of you will always bring a smile to my face and I will hope that you are smiling back at me from above. I miss you and I love you--forever.

Love,
Marni

i love you:(

My loving fiancée, taken from me as a result of an accident. In that stilted moment, you slipped through the doorway and into the light. And from each side we stood in tears, knowing that the tomorrow we had, would never be ours and the life that we longed for, had been cruelly taken. The world stood still for so long, but you gave me the courage, to start again. You mean the same to me as always and I cherish every memory that we created together in our love. You are always with me, my friend, my love, my confidante "Forever Dear"......Carolyn, (Mim) xxx 1 Cor. 13:4-7

The month of March comes with sad regret, It brings a day we shall never forget. No words can say, nor flowers repay, how much we lost on that sad day. Father in Heaven, hear our prayers, guide our dear loved one with tender care. Be a good shepherd, don't leave her alone. Love her as we did when she was at home.

Hank: C & I miss you. it used to be bad here
never thought it could get so damn worse.
even the sky looks different
but the scotch tastes just the same.
give Hem one for us. or two.

He was better than Hemingway.

I will never forget you my friend. You are greatly missed, and loved. Dog Gone lives on forever. I love you . rest in peace. now out of pain.

Andrea Dahm

To my Grandad,

There is not a day goes by when I don't think about you.

You were the perfect example of a marvellous human being.

Thank you, for everything. For being so strong when we were all so weak. By standing by us, no matter what. And for being proud of us for who we were. I know you were tired and so very unhappy. I am sorry if I let you down as a Grandaughter by not telling you just how much you meant to me.I know were ever you are, you are out of pain, happy and sitting in the sunshine listening to the band play. I hope I can make you proud & that you'll be with me on my wedding day. I miss you. We all do.From the little girl who used to ride on the front of your bicycle, who loved you from the moment she was born and from the woman I am now.

You'll be in our hearts.

To a strong man with a great soul.

We love you. *Hannahxx and Robxx

I keep trying to do things for your younger brother to help him remember that he is very special just like you were. I love you my little angel and no matter where you or i are we will always be together in our hearts. Goodnight Sweetheart lots of love from Mummy And Ciaran

Michael was a wonderful young man. He never got to live his adult life. He died in a car wreck when he was 18 years old. His memory lives on in the lives of his family and friends. He had so many wonderful friends and if you new him, you could not help but love him. We love and miss him. God bless you little brother!

My Dearest Father Think of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven! of taking hold of a hand and finding it God's hand! of breathing a new air and finding it celestial air! of feeling invigorated and finding it immortaility! of passing from storm and tempest, to an unbroken calm; of waking up and finding yourself HOME! I love you pap and I miss you so much. You will forever be in my heart! All My Love, Cindy

In Honor of the Best Daughter and Little Sister!
We Love You, Lacey!
Forever,
Mommie, Daddy, Joelle and Kodi

An Artist with a soul that connected love of his children and love of the simple pleasures in life to has been taken from this life only to create more beauty in world he is now. The loss of Chris suddenly took my children and me into to a life that we did not know how to live without him. Sitting on the porch without him and not hearing his footsteps on the creaky wooden floors, the laughter..the smile that made us all feel that we all had his love everyday with us. Now it carries on in a different way, as I watch the hands and feet of the boys resemble his. I see the love in their smile and it warms my heart. I love him and miss his tender touch, but I will see him again and our love will soar again...

Baby Mikey was loved more than words can say. He weighed 9lbs, 4.4 oz at birth, and a hefty 22 1/2 lbs at the time of his passing. Michael died from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The causes of this are still being studied, which makes this even more difficult to deal with. I beleive it would be easier if there was a specific reason...not just being kept in lingo about why your precious child has died. Michael is survived by his 3 1/2 year old sister, Mahogany. We love and miss you more than words can say baby!! Take good care of your little sibling up there....she needs you to show her around the gates of heaven. Love and tears, Mommy

My baby Brother, our best friend. We have missed you so much, we do feel your presents around us. your beautiful daughter is doing just great. Till I see you again. Your loving sister Arlene

"His having died so young, however, while defying reason, is like the buds of a flower being withered by the wind, or the full moon suddnely waning... Still since he believed deeply in the Lotus Sutra, in his last moment he was spendidly composed. He certainly went to the pure land of Eagle Peak." Gosho Zenshu pp 1567-1568

Ronnie was taken suddenly.We didnt get a chance to say our goodbyes.Life without you is so hard.We all miss you so much.You were the best Son,Daddy and brother anyone could have.We will all be together one day.We feel your spirit around us and know you will always be with us.We will always love you... love the Burdette Family

Jeffrey Burdick died at the age of 15 in a car crash. I had known him for 9 years.WE were never particularly close, but we were friends. His death struck me like a lightening bolt. It has made the whole community come together. Jeffrey Burdick was a genuinely nice person and I will always remember and love him.

Brought happiness to all, and will be remembered back with it.

Dear Mom
I know we had our rough times in this life but I miss you so much. I know you tried to hold onto this life to see your new grandchildren to be born we named them Matthew Dwayne and Mystique Dawn they were born on Oct 6 2001 you missed them by 3 mo 4 days you would be proud of your little granddaughter she looks like you and Lisa and acts like Mamaw Love you Mom

Brian, you took your own life, but left something in return. A multiple organ donor, you left your heart, kidneys, liver, bone marrow, tissue, and many others. I am proud of this, for you and for our son who never knew you. John now knows the recipient of your liver, Ray Turner, who is now our friend in Atlanta. At your memorial, the minister said we don't always know why something like this happens, but I do, and I know all these families appreciate the extra chance at life that their loved ones were able to receive. I thank you for my beautiful son. He's so smart, so good looking, so sweet, and named John, because he is God's gracious gift. I'm sorry you never knew him, he could have changed your life. J.

Sweet baby! We will never stop loving and missing you. Take care of your little sister until we meet again. Love eternally, Daddy, Mommy, Jordanne, Colin, Shannon and Austin

Precious angel daughter! We love you so much! We have not stopped thinking of you since the day you left us. We are comforted knowing that you are with your big brother, John, and with your Heavenly Father. You will never be forgotten, Princess. Love eternally, Daddy, Mommy, Jordanne, Colin, Shannon and Austin.

I would like to remember my great grandmother Miriam Nuttal. She was so sweet. She died at 86. She was a fabulous cook and made me feel better when I was sick.

Yours is a memory that will live with me forever and my heart goes with you wherever you are.

Peace be with you!

Love always
Candice

Loving father, greatly missed by children Melanie, Kerry, Timothy, Amy, Pamela, Michelle, Cindy & Shirley. Wonderful Papa to all his grandchildren here and now to the ones in heaven.

Our dear mother who left us too soon. Born Wanda Irene Bunn. Left children Melanie, Kerry, Timothy, Amy, Pamela, Michelle, Cindy & Shirley.

My dearest mother, It has been two long years since you lost your battle. You are so greatly missed by so many people. I often feel your presence in our lives. I know you are watching down from heaven with a smile at your "precious" grandchildren. There are so many things I would love to tell you. Some days the pain is too overwhelming to deal with. Dad misses you greatly, but I am taking good care of him. I promised you that I would. Even though I would give anything to bring you back, my only comfort is knowing that you are in a better place. I'll love you forever!!! Your daughter Suzi

My Mother - My friend! Forever loved - forever missed!

Dad, you were taken away from us way to suddenly and way to soon. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you and miss you. I have many great memories of the times we spent together. I only wish you could still be here to make more memories. It was always you and me -vs- the world, no one could ever really hurt us as long as we had each other. Now it is just me and I feel so alone. I pray every night to join you where ever you are. Mommy and my brothers are getting through this together but that is how it always was. They were a team and we were a team. I need you back. We always believed that God did not create situations for people that they could not handle, well, I think that God made a mistake because I cannot handle losing you like this. I wish I could see you again, I wish I could hug you one more time, I wish I could have the chance to say goodbye to you and to tell you that I love you and that you always have been and you always will be my best friend and my hero. I will always be your "little buddy." Your Loving Daughter, Erin

To My Grandfather Many years have passed, and yet you are clearly in my memories. I will never forget all that you have taught me, and I love you dearly. Sherri

To My Father. You were an amazing man who loved and provided for us. You taught us how to love and be loved. You taught me how to laugh, a merry laugh from my belly. I remember how you would wrestle tickle fights on Saturday mornings until one of us would surrender. I remember the stories you told about the road trips you would take driving the eighteen wheeler. I remember the Mrytle Beach trips, camping and putt putt and race cars. I remember you as my father, a man that loved my mother with all his heart . A man that never wanted to lose the bond between his children. A man who always wanted the best for us all. I wish I could know you today Dad. To show you the woman I have become and to show you the children that I had and the beautiful man that I married. I wish I could know you as a grown up and share my life's struggles and listen to your wonderful advice and your warm jokes. I love you so much and I miss you so much. I know that I will see you again Dad, one day in heaven. Until then..

Laura was a beautiful person who always had a smile on her face. When I was in the 8th grade she saved my life. I used to have regrets about the way we acted towards each other when she was alive and now I realize that I need to learn from her and not treat people the same as I did her at times. Laura had many lessons to teach and even though she had such a short time to teach them, I got the point, as the anniversary draws closer I find myself thinking more and more of what she taught me and I have learned that instead of being sad or angry I need to celebrate her life and not mourn her death. Sweet Rose Cheeked Laura you will always be in our hearts and souls for eternity

In loving memory of a dearly loved father of Muriel, David, Helen, Richard and Ian, and a dear step father of Phillip who we lost in January 1999 aged 47. Always in our thoughts and prayers.

In memory of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He meant the world to his family. We grieve for you, my angel, and know that you now have the peace that you could not find on this earth.

My Michael. How I miss you. You were the light of my life. Now the light has gone out. I love you more and more every day. As you were fond of saying, More today than yesterday, and less than tomorrow. You brought light into my life. I never knew love such as yours. So giving, so truly insipiring. You taught me to live and love and most important, I am worth loving. You taught me that. Then you left me, as we were planning our wedding, you left. I miss you so very, very much. Nothing will ever be the same. You were so good for me. God be with you and bless you and may you rest in peace. I love you.

"Always, with a song in her heart." Her smile warmed you and her laugh tickled your soul. We all miss you MOM. If we only had one more minute with you, we would all tell you how much we love you. Debbie, Mickey, Steve, Rob and Marsee

Dear Grandma and Pap-Pap, Well, Christmas is around the corner and for both of you this is the second Christmas without us. Mom, Dad, and I miss you very much.I miss Chirstmas Eve day when you would come over and we would exchange gifts. Pap-pap would get his mug, popcorn, and peanuts. Grandma would get her sweater, perfume, and jewelry. I remember going shopping for pap-pap for you grandma. It was so much fun. How about the time me and you would go shopping together for Christmas? I miss that. You guys are still a major part of my life. You may not be here right now physically, but you will always be here in my Heart. Holidays are hard, depressing, and sulking. I'm getting better though. I believe you wouldn't want us to be sad. You'd like us to be happy with those bright smiling faces. I love you guys so much. I begin to question why this happened. I don't know. It's puzzling for me the most because I tend to question God why he took you guys away from me. I know nobody lives forever, but to lose you both in a matter of 6months doesn't seem fair. Grandma, I remember all the fun times we had, but the image that hurts me the most today is the image of you laying in bed attached to all that machinary. It isn't fair. I know you were in pain. I feel so bad that there was nothing I could do. Mom and Dad feel the same. Pap-pap, I know you missed Grandma so much. But why did you leave me? You are very important in my life. I miss those rides to mountain up to the cabin. How about going to the store together? I'll always be your "Ish-ka-bibble!" It feels funny to drive past your house and never stop. Aunt Marie and Uncle Joe don't even talk to mom anymore. Mom never did anything to them. After you both died, Joe and Marie don't even think of Mom as their sister. That's a shame. It hurts to have no family. When will they realize what they've done? I wish you both were here so we could have a family again. I miss you and love you forever. Love your grandaughter, Tara Lynn Jacobs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mom we miss you and are reminded of you when we see the sun sparkling and shimmering on the blue sea, see the first crocus of spring and hear 'Ole Blue Eyes' on the radio. It is hard to imagine that you will not see your grandsons grow to be men, husbands and fathers but we will keep your memory alive in their hearts and they will never forget you. We love you mom. Diane and Leslie

So many times I've thought of you, and how I wish I would have let you know how much you meant to me. You were a friend to me when I needed one. Here one day, and gone the next. Tragedy....I love you Tommy. I hope you are watching over us all, and you see that things are as they should be.. I know that you were at peace with God, and in that I find peace. You will never be forgotten.

Love eternal,

Candice

Dedication to Louise

Don't stand beside me and weep,
For I'm not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow,
I am the moon, wind and rain,
I am the gentle summers rain.

I lived my life by my free will,
My ups and downs are now fulfilled,
My time was up and I must return,
To that place our hearts do yearn,
Don't stand beside me right now and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

2 of my favourite quotes by 2 of my favourite prophets ~
Jesus said �Your life begins in this world and is fulfilled in the next�.
Edgar Cayce said "You grow to heaven. You don't go to heaven."

Louise has surely grown to heaven........she will be missed and is now with Reg.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane,
We could walk right up to Heaven, And be with you again.

But a few farewell words were spoken, with little time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.

Our hearts are sorely broken, And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you, No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us, To mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times, Life still has in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten, and we pledge to you today,
A hallowed place within our heart, Is where you’ll always stay.

Always loving you!

A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried
If love alone could've saved you
You never would have died

I broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
Part of me went with you
The day God took you home

Dave you fought so hard to stay in this world, they gave you CPR and the shock to bring you back so many times, and every time you came back until the couldn't bring you back anymore. I guess your body gave up and your heart that was always there for others just didn't want to let go. You are missed by so many. I know I didn't always act like I should have but Dave you were always and will always be my best friend, father, dad, and role modle. Mom has remarried but still misses you each day. Sometimes when I feel that I can't go on without your advice in my life, I just look in the sky and feel your presence. Every once in a while it will be that beautiful pink color that you used to love to look up at. I hope your in that beautiful pink color, I know you are cause I feel you there.

You will be missed, until we are together again.
Love always Your Daughter: Vanessa

You are always in our thoughts, WE LOVE YOU JUNIE! May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I lost you six months before the rest of the world. I was one of the friends you had to hide. But we all got together and we cried together. I missed you for so long, not being able to call or write. She wouldn't let me. And then something took you from this world. I promise I will find you again, in many years to come. I will forever love you Jimmy. Always, Jill. P.S. Nicole, Sarah, Allyson, Jenn & Jackie send you love, too.

Dearest Muham,
I created this beacause I wanted to put your neverending memory everywhere. I think about you everyday. Some people say that I should let go and let God but...sometimes I still wait for you to come down the hall and greet us. Even though I don't like the way you chose to go, I wouldn't have liked any way you went. Your memory is forever in my heart and all of our hearts. We miss your laughter and your smile. You always could make me laugh even when I was sad. You brightened up our day at school. So..I guess I'll see you soon, but not too soon. (Ha Ha) Love you.
Love,
