Anthony, I hope that your are proud of me. I'm finally going to start celebrating your birthday instead of using that day remembering how you died, I need to remember how you lived. Its not going to be easy but at least I'm taking the first step. I told your brother and he said "finally"! So be ready for a big party in your name.

A mother and wife, an artist, photographer, and friend. Dad and I miss you mother.....we miss the smile and twinkle in your eye...the goodness you stood for. Constance died of lung cancer the day after valentine's day in 1994 after suffering through six months of knowing the end of life was coming. She was renown for her art work placed on St Simons Island in South Carolina and her work with the St. Petersburg Times in Florida. Mother was a WWII Navy veteran..and very proud of her country. She was born in New Kensington, PA and one of three daughters to C. W. Sellers and Vada. She was of Norweigian descent. Dad and I love you mother and and know those wings were earned the very first day you entered heaven.

To my beautiful, brave Sandy, a victim of acute lymphocytic leukaemia who had the courage not to fight. I'll love and miss you always. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7A beautiful rose whose season was all too short, one who was allowed only a short time in the sun. More precious was the light in her eyes, than all the roses in the world. A glimpse of the walk down the path of life leaves her far behind, stopping before her time, but her short stay here before she crossed that lonely bridge will never be forgotten, and the memory of her sweet smile will overpower that of her endless sleep. Forever young is she and never again to hear the birds sing or see the roses grow, but as with all good things, life must come to an end. A rosebud is sometimes picked before it can bloom, and a songbird sometimes falls from its nest before it learns to sing. Fly high above, my precious friend. Spread thy wings and soar through the clouds. Thoust know no tears and thine eyes see only glory. When this sparrow falls to the ground, the lonely wait will end, and paradise will be known to twin angels.A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world, but then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel lucky to have seen it at all.The depth of the loss comes when the sun rises and you realize that this new day and all the days of the rest of your life to come will be spent without her. But I think of Sandy, and all that her short life taught me, and I realize just how much I have lost, and how much I have gained. Yesterday seems less painful, and I am no longer afraid of tomorrow.So I am glad, not that my loved one is gone, but that the Earth she laughed and lived upon was my Earth too. That I had loved her, and my love I'd shown. Tears over her departure? Nay, a smile. That on the road of life, I was allowed to walk with her for a little while. When God sends forth a spo

Jason, son, grandson, brother, nephew and friend to all. We miss you with all of our hearts and yet know that you continue to be with us always. We know when we look up at the stars at night you are there, when the sun shines on our faces that you are there, and when the wind blows through our hair that you are there, but there is a part of us that wishes more than anything that we could touch your face, see you smile, hear you laughing once again so that we might have the joy we had before that day in September. Please always remember that you are in our minds daily, and in our hearts always. The happiness you gave to us and others will be the one thing that helps us survive. You were loved by many, and left an impression on all those you met, you will be forever missed. Love Mom, Mac & Jordan

On October 24, 1998, my father passed away at the age of 78 from complications due to pneumonia and congestive heart failure. He was 78. He is survived by myself, my mother and numerous animal "grandchildren" that were as spoiled as any human grandchild could be. He was a Boilermaker for over thirty years and retired in 1986. He was a member of the Triadelphia, WV Oddfellows Lodge #94 and a Past Noble Grand. He was also president of the Boilermakers Local #154's Retirees Club. I was his little girl even after I grew up and got married, and he let everyone know how proud he was of his daughter and how much he adored my husband, David. They were kindred souls and I am so glad they liked each other so much. He was so proud of me when I got back into horses and started showing and was always interested in how we were doing and how the horses were. They were like his grandchildren. I will miss him, but I know he's gone ahead to the Summerland and is no longer in pain. I love you Papa, and I will see you again. Meg

To my best friend. Although you are no longer on this earth, you will be with me forever in my heart. Thanks for being the best husband, father, son, and brother anyone could ever dream of. I will always love you! Lorie

Craig's love of life and people, was reflected in the way he made friends. So many of them, and from all over the world that when he died it took months for us to track them all down, to let them know of his sudden death. As partners, we had only been together for about a year, and in that time he had a major effect on the way I live my life. I can never forget him, and will never stop loving him. Craig is survived by his mother Pam, father Jim and sister Jayne. I still miss him deeply, but know that from somewhere, he is keeping watch over me. With all my Love Always David xxx

I miss you more than you can ever know, and though the time passes quickly, the pain will never go. I love you still. Craig, devoted partner to David, lovingly remembered by mother Pam, father Jim, and sister Jayne. Fly High Biggles Baby, we know you're wathing over us.

My Dad! A special father of 5, caring, loving, supportive man died honorably after a long fight with a stroke. He was a fantastic family man who liked the outdoors, was very supportive of education, and a hard worker. He fought for our country in the 2ed World War, achieving the rank on sergeant with the Toronto Scottish Reg. All of us LOVED him VERY much and miss him even more. All of our hearts are with you DAD.

I Remember!

A Letter To My Father I wish I would have taken the time to tell you how much you meant to me,I always took it for granted that you would be here. Your kind smile,laughter,and caring touch are missed so much. My broken heart truely longs for you. Your way of caring for your family,even while on your death bed shows the type of father you were. You never passed judgement and were always willing to lend a hand.I can only hope you knew how much your family loved you. Seeing you in the hospital those final days,if I could have given you my life I would have dad. Your beautiful blue eyes looking up at me as if to say good bye,I know you wanted to stay and take care of your family. You truely are an angel of god, be at peace daddy.I love you. Colleen

God saw he was getting tired,and a cure was not to be; So he put his arms around him,And whispered,"Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer,and saw him fade away; Although we loved him dearly,we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating,Hard working hands to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us,He only takes the best! We love and miss you so much,you were the best pawpaw anyone could ever have!!!! Love to you in heaven, Heather & Harli

I think of you every day and try to understand how god's need for you is greater than mine, it's been almost three years since you had to go and still I do not understand why. If I just knew in some way you were still watching over me and protecting me like you always did....never has there been someone who has been more of a role model then you dad. I wish I could have had the chance to tell you how very proud of you I am, your kind heart and honest word is not seen in many people this day and time. I wish god would have let you stay to help teach that in your granchildren. Be at peace dad, know you live on in my heart and never could anyone as special as you be forgotten. I love you always dad, Colleen

DAD, IT'S ALMOST BEEN FIVE YEARS AND I STILL THINK OF YOU EVERYDAY. I'M TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF MOM AND KEEP THINGS UP AS YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED. I HOPE AS YOU LOOK OVER US YOUR PROUD OF THE WAY WE HAVE LIVED LIFE.

I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND HOPE YOU KNEW THAT MORE THAN I EVER TOLD OR SHOWED YOU. YOUR KIND HEART AND WAY OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN DAD.
MANY PEOPLE SAY I LOOK LIKE YOU AND ACT LIKE YOU TOO, I'M PROUD OF THAT. I AM VERY LUCKEY I HAVE THE FAMILY I DO.
I LOVE YOU,
COLLEEN

Dad, I can remember the day as if it were yesterday. The pain and sadness are still there today, how was I to say good-bye to someone who meant so much to me? Our time was cut short, what I wouldn't do to turn back the clock. I think of you everyday and wish you could be here with me, I hope your at peace now and getting the rest you deserve.
Thank you for being a role model for me, and for giving me so many memories to hold on too. I love you so very much dad and I promise I will take care of mom for you, I'll do everything I can to keep her strong and safe, she loves and misses you too. If you can only watch over one of us,please watch over her and somehow let her know your there.
I'll carry you in my heart forever and will try to carry on your beliefs.
I love you dad, Colleen

Dad,
Today is your 64th birthday. No trips home to celebrate such a special day. No cake will be made, no presents will be bought. I can only shed yet another tear of saddness that you are not here with me.
I live with you in my heart everyday and will always make sure you are proud of me.
Happy Birthday dear father.
I love you forever,

Dad,
It's been almost ten years since you went to heaven to be with God, not a single day has passed that I haven't thought of you and how much I miss you.
So much has happened in our family and in the world I often wonder what your thoughts would be on them. Your grandchildren are young ladies now and you have a new grandchild you have never held, your son; my brother has a wonderful wife and a beautiful daughter that he will teach things to like you taught us.
Mom is lonely and misses you very much, I can often see the pain in her eyes and my heart breaks for her, you both had such love for each other and that is not seen so much in the world today.
Your granddaughters speak of you often and share their memories of you with friends, they love to hear your voice on the home videos and love to see you in them too.
I wish you were here dad, I need you so often. Your wisdom and streanth, I lost my beast friend the day you left to be with the lord. I love you so very much and miss you with every breath I take.
You are forever my hero and will always be in my heart, thank you for being you dad!
I love you,
Colleen

My role model and my best friend, I have so many memories of you. It's hard for me to believe that you were taken from our lives twelve years ago. I still don't understand why God's need for you was greater than mine, I have needed you so many times in that twelve years. I miss your laughter, advice, and beautiful blue eyes.
I see you sometimes in my dreams to only wake up with the reality that again you are not with me. I want you here with me, but feel as if you were short changed on the many memories you have missed out on as well.
My love for you still is strong and I carry it in my heart always. You are missed so very much Dad.
I hope you have peace, I love you is not a strong enough word to express how I feel.
Colleen

Dylan was a full term stillbirth. He is a beautifull baby boy. His mom and dad love him and miss him a lot.

Mum, I can not understand why you had to leave us so soon. You are in my thoughts everyday, I wish I had the time to say many things to you not only that I love you but so many others things. All I wish is where ever you are that you are pain free and happy. I will never forget you. All my love Emma xx

The day 'chronic pancreatitis' cruelly stole the life of our precious Daddy and beloved Husband was the darkest day of our lives. Dearest Daddy and Darling Husband - not a moment goes by that you are not in our thoughts and prayers and hearts. Every little thing reminds us of the wonderful father and Husband that you were and still continue to be. Thank you for the wonderful lessons you have taught us - lessons of love and kindness and family values; of character and humility and selflessness; of humour and forgiveness and generosity - we shall always try to live our lives in the example you have set for us; you were the wisest man we have known. We miss you so much, we miss your laughter, your jokes and your smile. We miss your ability to find something to laugh about in even the most unhappy situations; our lives will never be the same again. Without you, life is incomplete and empty: We can only find solace in the knowledge that one day we shall see you again. Until then, dear Daddy and dear husband, always know you are close in our hearts and we love you more than can ever be expressed. Always yours, your heartbroken wife, Zuby and children, Gulzar, Nassim, Diamond and Sajjad.

Mom, I love and miss you so much, but I know I will see you again. I don't know when, but when I get to heaven, I will give you a big hug. I'm doing Ok down here, but I really want to be up there with you. Please wait for me. Love, Your Daughter My mother was a nice. kind, caring, wonderful woman. She took great care of me, and I love her with all my heart. I don't know why God took her so early, but He must have His reasons. The one thing I regretted at first was that I didn't get to say good bye, but now I realize that it wasn't good bye, because eventually I will get to see her again, and I will run up to her and give her a great big hug. This memorial is dedicated to all those who read this as well. If your mother is still alive, go to her right now and give her a big hug and tell her that you love her, because you never know when it will be your last chance to do so.

She died. Few mourned her. Did she deserve what she got? She will be missed by few. Few will care. Are those few important. May you see this an wonder.

it is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our son, Geoff. Geoff was born at St Pauls hospital in Saskatoon, sk. Son to Gerri and Ron, Brother to Jamie, Jennifer, and Michelle. Geoffrey was a Enthusiastic child, he had many interests among them was his passion for fiching and camping, which he loved to do with his Grandpa and especially his dad. He was the first to have things ready to go and could hardly wait to leave for the lake to catch that big one! Often he was the only one that caught one. Geoff loved the outdoors and was an excellent outdoorsman. He also loved biking, as he went through many with his fearlessness, he somehow always survived but many of his bikes did not. Geoff was a natural athlete, he spent many hours with the Raider minor hockey association, he loved playing defence, giving his all, in his last year of hockey he suffered a broken femur, he really went out and broke a leg for the team. His favorite team was the Toronto Maple Leafs which caused conflict as his Dad is a diehard Canadiens fan. He also palyed softball in his younger days and he'd be the one throwong the glove in the air, with his parents saying "Son pay attention!" Geoff also enjoyed wall climbing and spent a lot of his time at Vic's Vertical Walls. Geoff was involved with the 328 Medical and 2293 North Sk. Regiment Cadet Corp. While with cadets he received his Gold star for fitness, Best Red Star Shot, his cross riflesand was also a member of the Biathlon team. Geoff also enjoyed making people Laugh. His love for kids wa incredible, you could often find his younger cousins, Paul, Tyler and Mathew following him around. He enjoyed partying with his freinds as he was a night owl. He was a Loyal friend to those that were loyal to him. Geoff alos loved horse back riding abd spent many hours at his Aunty Holly's farm riding with his very special cousins, Buddy and Elizabeth. He'd go to Auntie's for the day, only to return three days later! Geoff was very Mechanically inclined as he took several things apart, reassembling them, of course with pieces left out. Whatever it was, always worked to everyone's amazement. His favorite meal was roast beef, lots of mashed potatoes and gravy. Geoff enjoyed cooking and inventing new concoctions in the kitchen. When he was through cooking the kitchen looked as if a small was had taken place. Geoff was always fearless when taking on new challenges, and his fearlessness will be the thing we will always remember the most about him. We love you Geoff. My son your heart was heavy, your turmoils great, and you are now in the arms of the angels, you have finally found the peace you always deserved. Love Mom, Dad, Jamie, Jennifer and Michelle

Alex, you will be forever loved and greatly missed. You were a great guy and it's not fair that Justin tried to play God and took your life from you. We love you sooo much!!!!!! Wait for us!!!! We ride for you 1982 A.R.C 1999

Through out Life we cross paths of many people. Never have I ever met a men like he was.
Even though he had many lifes sad burdens on his shoulders, he never let it interfer with him always helping others.
He was honest, giving,hard working , and a very loving soul.
He cared about others problems, even though he still grieved privately over his own.
He was a very quiet,smart, gusto type person. He always had this unusual wink. And a Beautiful Smile.
He will be missed by Family and many Friends. Two of his Special Friends where Sadd-Eyes and Merigold, Who brought Laughter back in his Life. A Special God Bless to them.
He is at Peace now, and No More Pain.
Gone But Not Forgotten!
We will Always Love You!

Beloved Daughter; Beloved Sister; Beloved Niece; Beloved Girl Friend. She spent her life in service to the children of New York City. She taught them and cared about them.
She took care of her parents as a good daughter should. In giving her life she saved her Father's.
There will never be another like her. God sent us an Angel but would not let her stay with us.

dear mom,
I miss you a lot and hope that you are doing well.
Often, I think about you and wonder and wish to talk to you and see you.

She loved more truly than she was loved. Loved greatly once, and one time only. Her wife, partner, lover, best friend and companion Janet Maureen Pritchard, was lost to her heart and leaving her beyond berevement on December 23, 1999. No greater love nor greater loss claimed her before. Rest in peace Mike.

Sue Thomas Chastain, my Mother, was killed in an automobile accident on the 10th of October. I miss her so much--and I miss all the things we will never get to share. She was a loving, giving, caring person, who raised her 2 daughters to believe in themselves and that girls can do anything. She was a Mama to many of my friends, when their parents couldn't be. She followed my Daddy around the world, making a safe, loving home for us. She taught English as a second language to many people wanting to emigrate to the United States. In every country we lived in, she learned the customs and the culture, and passed them on to us, so we could become part of whatever community we lived in. She taught us love, compassion, faith, grace and courage. I will never be able to fill the space she left in my heart and in my life.

Mamuni,where ever u are u must be free of pain and grief. this is what gives us the most satisfaction. we always loved u and still love U. we can never forgive those responsible for your untimely demise. love U and remembering U. Babu.

He was taken at the peak of innocent perfection by a stroke. He will always be the BEST BOY.

The Boy Who Looked Like Peter Pan

Sandy boy with elfin smile,
Freckled nose and gangly grace;
You could but stay a little while,
Now Heaven shines upon your face.

You leave a legacy of love,
Of laughter and a merry wit,
Of magic tricks and silly pranks,
And mischief for the fun of it.

Baseball caps and rocks and frogs,
Indian weavings on the wall,
Beads and boxes, trucks and books,
Paper art- you loved them all.

You learned to juggle,
Ride a bike, rollerblade
And mountain hike.
A vital, energetic child,
You loved all life
Both tame and wild.

How many, many friends you had
Of every age, some old, some new;
Your varied interests drew them in,
A loyal friend they had in you.

I gaze upon the things you made
And realize that you left behind
A yarn ball here, a drawing there
To gently, carefully remind us
Your spirit lives on everywhere.

Brief life so fully lived in joy
By this young, unassuming boy;
Be an example to us all
To live in grace
And care for all.

My son, you are so missed. I long for the sound of your voice, a glimpse of your face, an exuberant hug. But most of all, I long for the feeling of connection ... knowing you were there, not so far away when my mother's heart would miss you. The thought of years ahead without you bring such heartache. But, the memories of the years we had bring comfort and even smiles. I love you and miss you.

Rick was completely drunk and high on drugs (as usual) when he broke into a home and was confronted by a gentleman protecting his wife and children. He repeatedly ignored warnings to stop, to leave them alone or he would be shot. The gentleman, fearing for his life and the lives of his family, was forced to fire and Rick was killed. Now that gentleman has to live with that memory for the rest of his life, how sad. I pray for them. . .

Helen was the beloved wife of Carlos Chavez. She left behind 6 children: Videla, DeeDee, Karl, Adolph, Tammy, and Tony. She also left behind 9 grandchildren who all love her VERY much and miss her a GREAT deal. Our prayers are with her soul.

Grandma,

I miss you so much, but the fact that you are now at rest with the heavenly father puts my sorrow at ease. I love you!!

En souvenir de ma mere

We hear so many bad Mother-In-Law jokes, not one of them fit mine. Doris was the kindest person I ever met. She never had a mean word or thought about anybody, she looked for the good in everything. 2 months to the day her Cancer was diagnosed, Doris passed from this earthly place to a place where she is healthy, feels no pain and is reunited with her baby, parents and brothers. I was fortunate enough to take care of Doris through her illness, spending hours and hours talking about anything and everything. She was an amazing woman who loved her children, Jackie, Gary and David. She didn't want to leave Phil, her husband, who is a gruff old goat, but worshipped the ground she walked on. She had to leave her grand-children, Brian, Jennifer, Gary Jr. and Ryan. Her 2 great-grand-sons will never have a chance to know what a special person she was. Doris never complained, never asked "why me?". She often apologized for being ill and all the work we had to do for her. She was taken from us too soon, none of us had time to accept that she was ill and would soon be gone from our lives. I loved her dearly and was lucky enough tell her during our time together. I know she is someplace so much better than here, wearing her perpetual apron and catching up lost time with her loved ones who passed before her. I never called her "Mom", I had a Mother and Mom was reserved for her. I hope she never felt bad about that, but I do know, she knew I loved her. Doris is missed by all of us and will always be remembered for her loving ways and kind heart.

We love you & miss you.
Forever in our hearts.
Imperfect on earth, perfect in heaven.
Received your wings 11/11/09
Hope you are rejoicing in heaven with your dad, grandpartens & sibling.
love your mom, dad (07/02/52-09/10/06), brothers, sister & your sibling(01/18/85-11/18/85)

If your really lucky in this life-you grow up with a special grandparent. A grandparent that loves you no matter what, someone sweet- someone whos always there .I was the luckiest person in this world to have had Granma Anna as my grandma. she was the most special person I have ever known and my life will never be the same without her. In my younger years- - my greatest memories begin and end with her one way or another. I miss our family get togethers-I miss our trips up north- I miss just visiting her or spending the night at her house. My later years found me on the opposite side of the state and gramma in a nursing home and me not able to visit her often but I wrote to her all the time and prayed for her every night.I made what visits that we did have together count. I missed her more than words could say though, and our visits were never enough I couldnt help but cry every time-always scared this was the last time I'd see her. recent years had not been the greatest to grandma,she had grown tired and was in constant pain. I use to pray to God to not take her- I needed her still and loved her too much to let her go.But near the end, I realized how selfish I was being. She had been ready to go with God for some time and life was getting too hard for her to bear anylonger. so I prayed to God to please set her free in Heaven with him---- and he does answar prayers-he took her home! We know that she is in a better place and out of pain but its still so hard to go on without her. Noone can ever fill the emptiness she has left. noone will ever take her place. your only that lucky one time in life! and God I do know how lucky I was! But knowing one day we'll be together again up there in heaven keeps me going and helps me get along.I wish everyone could grow up with a grandma like mine.

wonderful aunt, mother, and grandmother. Sweet, kind, loving and down to earth. Was deeply loved by her family and will be deeply missed.

Jimmy; You will always be in my heart. I loved you more than you could ever know. You were a wonderful father, and took part of my heart with you when you left. When I think of you, I remember being 15 again and you being 18. I have forgotten the pain. I remember the great times and your protectiveness and desire to make me happy. Rest in peace my love, enjoy our son, and know that I am taken care of. I know that would have made you happy. Bigger than the Amoco Sign.

Love forever,
Donna

My darling son. What If? Love, Mom

Jimmy; Missing you is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. You were everything that a son could be. You were my son, my friend, my advisor, and my pride and joy. There was never a day when I wasn't proud of you. You fought a brave and valiant battle against the cancer that never should have been. I still don't understand how a person who never smoked in his life could get head and neck cancer. It never let up, and wherever you were able to chase it away, it showed up somewhere else. I know I was hard on you honey, never letting you give up, but I never didn't know how much you suffered and what a price you paid. I am so thankful you are at peace now and the pain is gone. Thank you for being my son. Thank you for Briana and Mikayla. Thank you for being a father to Jade and Jesse. Thank you for always worrying about your father. You will be in our hearts forever....Till we meet again. Love, Mom

Although I have no memories of you I think of you most every day. I don't remember what you look like but I see you most every day. No one ever speaks of you except me most every day. I don't know you but I love you very much and I miss you most every day. Love Always, Cory

To my dear friend Agnes, may you rest in peace. Loved Chin Pei.

According to Webster's New World Dictionary, a "hero" is defined as: a man admired for his qualities or achievements and regarded as an ideal or model.

Many of our public figures have accepted the label of "hero" for themselves. Sports figures, political leaders, entertainment stars. All of whom excel at one feat or another, and while in the spotlight, capture our attention and admiration . For most, as their one exceptional ability fades, so does the spotlight of our interest. For others, our "hero's" image is shattered by scandalous revelations of an all too "average" person.

It sometimes seems that there are no heroes that are completely safe to admire and emulate these days. I found one.

He was solid as a rock for the more than 40 years I knew him. He never worked in a spotlight and never received applause. "Johnny-on-the-spot" and "Mr. Dependable" are a couple of things he's been referred to as. Mr. Blue Collar is what I would call him. A man who went to work each day and came home to his family each night. A man who put everything he had into making a better life for his children and their children. A man who was always there when friends and family called on him.

A working man. A HERO. Men like this have carried this country on their backs for more than 200 years. Men like this are increasingly short in supply these days. Men like this deserve our admiration and emulation much more than the popular "heroes".

A man like Wesley Kelton Chewning will be sorely missed.

Gerry, you were a sweet and wonderful person, always made sure that the bingo bus/van picked me up wherever I wanted, and dropped me off where I wanted, as well, whenever I'd visit the Scranton area, and I miss you so much. It isn't the same without you now. Whenever I play bingo now, I think of you always, and everywhere. May God bless you, and may you always yell "BINGO!!!!" Love always, Edward

My grandma died on New Years Eve. She had been sick since Christmas and hadn't been able to open her presents yet. People keep telling me that she lived a good life, and she died peacefully, but right now this doesn't help. I miss her. She was a very important person to me, even if she always asked me if I was pregnant when I wasn't. :) She always smelled good, and carried Wrigley's Spearmint gum in her purse. She was married to my grandfather for 59 years. She loved animals and always rescued lost dogs, occasionally right off the owner's front lawn. She taught me her college cheer when I was eight or nine.

For Kevin Child.
You were one of the best people I have ever known. You don't know what your love meant to me growing up. I knew that I could always come to you for anything. I miss that. There will never be another person quiet like you. I wish that we had more time. I wish we didn't waste the time that we did have. But you are always with our family. You are not forgotten. I love you uncle.

Your loving niece,
Jess.

I wish I could adequately convey to you the essence of this woman who spent her life amassing creatures, furry or bald, to love.
In the many cities traversed by her gypsy feet, she was in a constant state of mothering; six birds, three dogs, eight cats, three horses, two goats, a hedgehog, a bunny, a desert tortoise and nine children are just a few lucky enough to know a woman so incredible, so impossibly filled with color and light who had the cahones to face hard times and sorrow with a smile on her face and a loving word for all, friends and foe.
How can one possibly describe the overwhelming courage this woman radiated, hurricaning her way through the years, giving the best of herself over to pave the way for the children bobbing hopefully in her wake. We take great pain to detail her gigantic delicacy, her incredible strength and encompassing warmth, her childlike wisdom and unimaginatively stubborn will. She may not have always gotten our names right, but we will never forget to honor and cherish the life of our one and only Mama.
Love, the fruits of your womb: Megan, Sarah, Colin, Geoffrey, Alec, Gordon, Kati, Kiowa and Cheyenne. We all raise our glasses in homage to your beautiful spirit- may it encompass every ocean, forest, mountain, and animal of your dreams.

In your Father's house, there are many mansions. He has prepared a place for you; he has called you home, Mama.

For my darling Ray,

Often my thoughts do wander,
To a grave not far away.
Where the one I loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
When the evening shades are falling,
And I'm sitting all alone,
To my heart there comes a longing,
If only he could come home.
Some may think I'm not lonely,
When at times they see me smile.
Little do they know the heartaches,
I suffer all the while.
I miss him so,my heart is sore,
As time goes by I'll miss him more.

With All My Love & You Will

My one and only son and first child. June 30th 1987,a great gift was gave to me from Heaven. A 8lb.6oz. baby boy as cute as can be. A boy that I named Tommy.
August 04th,2005,the last day for me to see you alive. A day that all my tears flowed and my heart broke into. A day that forever and always we will all be missing you.
You are ~NEVER FORGOTTEN~ Tommy.....

James just turned 4 when he was tragically taken from us. He has a big family that misses him dearly. Nothing is the same since he has gone away. He was such an outgoing child that he instantly made our life more just by being in it. He lived his whole life in those four short years.

In loving memory of our little man

We have a special little angel who watches from up above,
He comes to us in our dreams and surrounds us with his love.
We think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
Always thought of precious a fact to all well known.
He left us with cherished memories we proudly call our own.
When family ties are broken and loved ones have to part.
It leaves a wound that never heals and a ever-aching heart.
To us he was so special what more is there to say,
Except to wish with all our hearts that he was here today.

We love you and miss you James!!!!!!

Love From
Mommy and Daddy, Brandon and Britanny, Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Bonita and Uncle Rob,Robbie,Rose-Anne,and Richard, and Uncle Chuck

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU POPS! I KNOW YOUR STILL WITH ME WHERE EVER I GO!

I miss you and mum every day dad, give Dave a hug for me and look after my Sally give kisses to Lennon and Shep until we met again love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The best dad a girl could have.......He is missed.

After a long battle with breast cancer - my Mum is finally in peace

I'm Free
Don't Grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day
To laugh,to love,to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of the day
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with rememberd joy
A friendship shared,a laugh, a kiss
Ah,yes these things I too will miss
Be not burdended with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tommow
My life has been full, I've savored much
My life has been full, I've savored much
Good friends, good times,a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free!
You will be missed and loved and until we meet again
I'm here without you,love and miss you Mike Chisum

A devoted husband, son, brother, uncle, grandpa, and dad. He was the R L Chmidling in R L Chmidling Construction. He took care of his business and his home in much the same way, with pride, honesty and dedication. He was a friend to many. He was a hero to his dogs and his children. His heart was big and tender, his hands calloused and rough. He rarely said "I love you" he just spent his time living it. His passing was sudden and oh so frightening.
Though we miss you so very much, we know why God wanted you with him. He must be so very happy to have you there. I know Grandma, Grandpa, Bill, Marvin, Chuck and most especially Tommy are having such a great time. Spend your time fishing, hunting, and working in the garden. Keep an eye on the horses. Give them all hugs from us. Know you are a part of our every thought and deed. We will try to live to make you proud.

Ben, the whole family misses you. We all love you very much. Grandma and your brother Mini is now with you. Take care of each other until the whole family reunite.

In memory of my little brother, I did not have a chance to say good-bye. We do think of you every day, what a great father,brother,son,grandson, and friend you were to many. I will miss you.

Dad, you taught me how to love, with patience more than anyone deserved. You taught me that being adopted didn't mean being loved any less - if nothing it meant being loved more. You taught with so much more than words, with actions, laughter and generosity. You opened up your heart without question and accepted things without hesitation. I know that you are with me always, that you are watching out for your grandchildren and your first great-grandchild Lyam, do you know that he says good morning to your picture? We tell him about how much you loved him in the little time you got to spend with him here. Your leaving has left a void that is still, to this day, painful. I know you had to go. I wish you were still here. Lyam will know of his great grandfather.
I love you.

Stan, my friend, my partner, my love. I know you are watching over me I can feel you every day. I am so lonely without you. I love you--- Dinapoo

My precious mother and guide. Setting higher standards for each generation.

Busy Lizzie -

I'm sorry I didn't save you. You needed me at the end, but we lived on the other side of the country then and my husband was so sick and going into isolation for a bone marrow transplant. I couldn't leave him, and I had started that new job, and my kids... But you didn't know all of that...

I counted on our parents to do the right thing... I am crushed that they did not. Please forgive me for not coming to your rescue. You could be here with us all now if I had come.

I just didn't know... forgive me. I Should have known, I should have known...

And to the rest of you I say, "Life Life Always Always Choose Life."

I carry you in my heart. Your Sister, Roberta

Mom,

What an incredible, amazing woman you were! How lucky we were to have you for as many years as we did, regardless of losing you almost five years before your body decided to give up. It was so difficult knowing you were "in there" somewhere but couldn't make the connection. You and Dad shared everything, from birthdays to anniversaries, to us kids, to your home, how incredible you found each other in North Dakota on the farms! I thank you for everything you taught me, for everything you forgave me for, for always being there, for just being you, beautiful, loving, kind, so full of life and fun. You have no idea how much you are missed. I'm sure my husband Steve enjoys your company as much up there as he did here on earth, may you two keep each other safe until we can all be reunited. I pray you know you have 5 beautiful great grandchildren now, you'd have loved little Aryanna! Who'd have thought I'd be lucky enough to get a granddaughter? She's so incredibly like you it's eerie. . . . they're all so precious! RIP Mom, I love and miss you dearly!

My beautiful baby boy. On January 19 you changed our lives like we will never forget. We learned how much you can love another person. Then on January 24, only 5 days after your life on earth began, you were taken back to Heaven. On that day God needed another angel to fill a place in Heaven and he chose you. My sweet inasent child. My love for you growes each and every day. You will never be forgotten. No matter what you will always be my first born son and the love of my life. You will remain in my thoughs and heart for the rest of my life. I will see you in Heaven where we will have a reunion like no other, but until then just know that you are loved more than words can express and that we miss you more than anyone could ever know.

Love You Forever

Mommie(Michelle) and Daddy (Robert)
