Our love will be forever!!!

Aaron, you were and still are the love of my life. I will go on loving you forever. You are in my heart and my thoughts everday. I wiss you were here with me. I miss you so very much. I cried the day you were taken from me and I have cried a tear every day since. I know we will be together again. I will wait for you. Until then I love you!

My dearest son, you are missed as much as you are loved. Our precious baby boy.

Lieve Papa

De ochtend gloort het is voorbij
het leven is geweest, maar ik ben blij
blij dat je nu bent waar je bent

toch was het zwaar wat je altijd tilde
de zorg, de liefde die je de laatste tijd gaf
je neemt het mee het was geen kaf

het leven is geweest, maar je bent er bij
diep in mijn hart leef je voort
ik ben niet verdrietig, ik ben blij
dat je er bent zoals je was,

trots als een rots maar niet van staal
zelfs je hart was wel eens schraal
je gaf wat je had voor een ieder
daarom geen pracht geen praal
maar pure liefde hard als staal

je was sterk maar ook weekbr> week in het hart maar toch zo stram
je wilde het niet halen, je eigen gram

als je al geheime dromen had
anders dan dat je een toegewijd vader en een liefhebbende echtgenote wilde zijn
dan was niemand daarvan op de hoogte
Als je al gekweld werd door hevige spijt, angsten of persoonlijke twijfels
Heb jij die nooit geuit

je vulde je leven met recht en plicht
voor mij een voorbeeld een helder licht
het licht is uit maar het schijnsel gloeit
als een vuurtoren die mij leidt

je was een man die troonde
maar zijn inborst en gevoel moeilijk toonde
maar voor die geen die hem kende een kerel uit een stuk
je ging er voor ,voor het geluk
je deed het en je won

je zei ,je zweeg, je vertelde maar toch
je liefde voor mam en voor ons
overwon de bittere vrucht van het leven

je bent nu weg maar niet voor mij
je leeft voort in mij zoals je was
voor mij ben je niet zo als je was
je bent er zoals je bent

De dood zet geen punt achter je leven
Doch slechts een komma
omdat je voortleeft in al hetgeen je kinderen en kleinkinderen zijn geworden

je leeft voort als was je hier
en dat zal ook zo blijven

Rust zacht lieve papa, je zoon Berend

to my angel, today it's been nine months and i still miss you more than you will ever know. i love you and always will. just once i wish i could kiss you again!!

Enrico was an incredible person. He personified courage, bravery, love, courtesy, ethics, strength, vision, integrity, inteliigence and so much more. He was a father to 2 sons and 6 daughters. He was a loving husband to Rosa, his wife of more than 60 years. He had 14 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren as of this writing. He lived for his family. His children were his world. He always wanted them by his side, sharing a story, a good glass of homemade wine, or a salad from his own finely cultivated vegetable and herb garden. He grew fruit trees and was a horticulturalist in Italy. He fought in WWII and this affected his life greatly. He spoke about the war and his experience often.He moved to Canada in 1962 with a wife and 8 children in tow. He worked harder than any man I knew, and he did it for his children, often going without sleep working in a steel factory by day, and a carwash by night. He encouraged us to finish school, work in the summer, and save our money. He believed we could be anything we aspired to be if we worked hard. He loved music, slapstick comedy,homemade anything and birthday parties. His legacy lives on in how we, his children, try to follow in his footsteps. He was a perfect example of how to live your life in honesty and truth. No one is perfect, but to us,he was our loving dad. Our sweet dad whose eyes sparkled at us when he saw us, whose sadness was evident when we left him. He tried hard to be brave for us when he was ill, always downplaying his pain. Even in sickness, he braved a smile for us. What a wonderful man, what a wonderful father. We love you and miss you forever dad. A moment does not go by that you are not in our hearts or minds. You've left a lasting impression on us, of how tender a person you are in our lives. I'm sure you're not resting, you're probably giving Jesus a lesson or two on how to cultivate beefsteak tomatoes so they will grow to the size of a small pomello. "Happy Day" in heaven daddy. Never ever forgotten. Love you always.

Gustav Paul died prematuraly, while being administered
chloroform for a stiched finger. He died in his father's
arms. Although he was dead long before I was born, I will always
remember him, and he will have a special place in my heart forever.

In memory of a good man, who touched thousands of lives over the years, thru his very unique and original character.
No way an ordinary life, but a journey, with little time for limitations. Not understanding the word "can't" or "slow down".
The primary focus always on family, children, 4 beautifull children with a love and devotion for Dad that speak more than any words here ever could.

A full life, cut short by fate, will leave an absence for a long time to come.
Sadly Missed By
Family and Friends

The most honest person I ever met
Love is Eternal

You will forever be in my heart and soul. How very blessed we were to have you in our lives.

I love you Mom.

Your Daughter,

Sandi

The most dedicated, loyal, and loving man this world has ever known. He would give the shirt off his back to a stranger, and spend his last dime to feed the stray animals and squirrels. A friend to everyone, an enemy to none. Daddy...losing you feels like someone has cut out my heart and served it to me on a platter. I miss you so much. Thank you for loving and caring for me all my life. I was so blessed to have you as my Dad. Lord, please watch over him. I love you Daddy, you will be with me always. Sissy

You were the most devoted mother any child could ever have. We were so blessed to have you.

I miss you more than you will ever know.

I love you Mommy.

Sissy

My eyes see you as young man of 24yrs. You were taken to soon,

Your Sister Lynn

Mom,I'ts been almost two years now-that's along time to be without someone you really love.You are on my mind every day some times at night when things are real still I have a little talk with you.And I feel like you hear me-not only you but family that went before you did.I know you are in a better place..where you have no more pain and your happy, but mom I do miss you so much and would give a lot to just talk to you face to face.The girls talk about you a lot and Sean does not say much but I know he thinks about you to.I try and see Bill as much as I can-it really hurts to go over there knowing your not there.You was the best mother any girl could have and I wish I could have been more like you.You are in everyones thoughts and I know all of the family feels as I do. We miss you mom.

Zachory was six years old. He was in the first grade at John XXIII. He left behind a mother, father, and an eleven year old sister,Megan. Zachory was a nature freak. He loved animals,flowers,and all things God made. He touched a lot of peoples lives. He was one of those children who after meeting them once you fell in love with him. He brought new meaning to the word "love". His family always came first. He wasn't your typical six year old. He'd pick an evening at home with his family over an evening at the movies anytime. Zachory lived his life to the fullest.He was the best son any parents could ask for. We're glad we were given six years of pure love and joy. As parents we couldn't be prouder of our little Angel know. Our son may not have grown up to be a doctor, lawyer, or the president of the United States but he grew up to be one heck of a Guardian Angel. His Mommy and Daddy will be forever proud.

Philippe fue un hombre de honor, él me ayudó a comenzar a vivir y siempre le siento a mi lado. Los años han pasado y sigo sintiéndole conmigo, espero seguir teniéndole a mi lado si él me espera no temo el mañana. Fernando

A Real Good friend to many people. A great loss to us all we never will forget him, for he is in our hearts for ever

I really miss you bro. You were the person in life I looked up to. You have been gone for almost a year now. I wish you were here to see your little niece be born. I will tell her about you when she gets older. I feel like you are right here beside me as I am writing. I love you Q... Your little brother

Dear Mom,
I think of you every day and remember all the good times we shared. I relate a story about you all the time to my friends. There was a lot I know you wanted me to know before you passed away and I think of that all the time. I wish you would have told me the one thing you really wanted to, that does haunt me. So I guess I have learned from that to say what I want to say ( as tactfully as I can) to people. I know heaven is beautiful and that you are in no more pain. I also know we live to die to be with God in heaven and you reached your goal in life. Give Jesus a hug from me and put in a good word for my family here, so that when one of us gets there Jesus will let us in. haha Ma.(try to smooth over the bad stuff, will ya?) Thanks for the sense of humor and the gift to gab, the strong foundation in faith and for loving me as best you knew how.
Much love sent your way,
Lori ( and I miss being called this by you, Fred)

Mom

I miss you dearly, and wish you were here. I go to visit you often and hope that you can hear my talks to you. I'm sure that you are taking care of Chance for me and Tom. Give him a hug for me. Thanks for everything you did for me, and Thanks for taking care of Chance for me until I can get there.

Love Barb

You were my Grandfather, although you died before I was ever born, My father had told me many stories about you, He said you were a gentle and caring man with a Great sense of family value. I know that one day we will meet in Heaven, until then rest in peace....I LOVE YOU!!

As you know she took you death the hardest, but some 3 years later she is adjusting well to her loss. I'm so glad that I got the chance to tell you everything I wanted and needed to say before you died, and I wanted to say Thank-You for waiting for me to come back home before you left us, you don't know how much that has meant to me knowing that you were thinking of me on your death bed. Thanks for giving me the chance to say I Love You and to tell you good bye. Rest in Peace Dad, you are Greatly missed and still Greatly Loved.

Love, Dad

My precious sweet Stephenie Love...after 22 and 1/2 years I still cannot believe you are gone...not one single day, hour, or second, ever has or ever will pass without me thinking of you, loving you, needing you, wanting you, grieving you, and weeping for you. A fool once said that time heals all wounds...that fool never buried a child--the pain never stops, never heals, never abates...it remains as fresh and new as the first second that cursed doctor said "She's dead"...you are not dead, my Angel, you are alive in me every second of my life; I only wish it was me that doctor meant instead of you...I said the day you died, I send you to the angels and beg them to take my place, to teach you happiness and joy, to love you, to kiss you each and every minute, and to sing you "Dolphin's Lullabye", until I can join you and kiss your beautiful face again myself...you now have a younger brother, named Christiaan, after you--he looked exactly like you at his birth, and that day was the most bittersweet day of my life...it was as if time had turned back and returned my precious Stephie Love to me; if only I could have you both, my life would be complete. Your brother knows when I die, my ashes are to be spread over your grave...God may have separated us in Life...but He won't in Death...I love you so, my precious sweet Stephenie love...Mommy

In memory of a life lived long and well. Beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

It's surprising how we think of you,turn to speak to you, and realize you're not right there as we expect you to be.I guess we hold you so close in thought that it's hard to understand sometimes that you aren't as close in person.But we wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and wishing we could talk and just be together awhile --- you're really missed. Deeply missed , Mom, Dad,Family, & Friends

Grandma, During WWII you waited as long as you could before leaving the family estate, but as the artillery shells began landing behind you, you knew it was time to go. Now I visit you at your board and care, and see the Alzheimer's Disease steadily advancing. So much of you has already left. I feel I am the one holding the single suitcase, packed with what memories of the 'whole you' I could grab: the long family dinners; the scent of the paints in your studio - you only began painting when you were sixty, but when we moved you out of your home there were hundreds of paintings; driving with you "Light turn green, I'm coming with my friends"; and your teaching me to drive. These days I take long drives just to have the space to think. When I finish this, I'm going to take one of those drives, and think of our lives and the confounding nature of this disease which allows us to be both together and apart. When the time does come for you to go, I will be the one to take Helga's hand, and begin following a road leading to where? - we don't know, but you will carry on with us, if only in our hearts. Love, John

R.I.P ann, you will be remembered. we miss you. god needs you now in heaven..

Mi querida Mamá Ana, no se imagina cuanto la extrañamos mi viejita linda. No hay dia que pase en el cual no nos detengamos a pensar en lo linda, santa, buena, y fuerte que fue, en lo tanto que nos quiso, en lo mucho que amaba la vida, el comer bien, el salir de paseo,y compartir con la familia. Extrañamos tus consejos, tus regaños, tus canciones. Como me hace falta tu sopita de pichón curalotodo!
Mamá Ana le abrio las puertas de su casa a mucha gente y le dio de comer a tantos, que a parte de sus 8 hijos parecia haber adoptado al mundo entero.
Fuiste una mujer muy, pero muy fuerte y pesar de las limitaciones economicas, problemas familiares, desiluciones, y quien sabe que tantas otras cosas que no nos contaste, a pesar de todo eso supiste y lograste sacar a tus 8 hijos adelante. Y con el paso de los años, cuando ya te merecias descansar y que te mimaran y consintieran, encontraste el tiempo y la fuerza para cuidar a tus nietos y a tu bisnieto.
Extrañamos tus historias de tu niñez y de tu vida a principios del siglo pasado, de cuando ya de jovencita conociste a Papá David, de tus angustias cuando tuviste que salir del pais con tres niños pequeños y otro mas en camino.
Recuerdo como te lamentabas el no haber podido estudiar,como te apenaba el escribir con dificultad;recuerdo mi viejita como decias que querias ser mas en esta vida que esposa, madre y ama de casa, por eso siempre nos alentaste a estudiar, a ser y lograr lo que tu no pudiste o no se te permitio ser.
Te queremos tanto Viejita Linda!!!

You may not be here in sight however, I feel you around me each day..Sometimes I think I see you out of the corner of my eye. When I really hurt our song comes on the radio..That your way of saying I'm here..What a wonderful man all your
insights and ways you pass to me..I love you so..and never think I will every forget or let you go.. I need your strenght with me now and for every... Your Wife..

Sadly missed by his family.

Will always be remembered as the strong, vibrant, healthy man he was years ago. I love you Josh and I'll miss you greatly...

Our Queen Bessie passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 104 on September 25, 1995. May she rest in peace!

Here are some of her memorable quotes....

"Now if you're average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored, he'd be washing dishes somewhere."

"What worries me is that I know Sadie's going to get into Heaven, but I'm not so sure about me. I'm afraid when I meet St. Peter at the Gate, he'll say, 'Lord, child, you were mean!'"

"I'll tell you a little secret: I'm starting to get a little optimistic. I'm thinking: Maybe I'll get into Heaven after all. Why, I've helped alot of folks - even some white folks! I surely do have some redeeming qualities that must count for something. So I just might do it: I just might get into Heaven. I may have to hang on to Sadie's heels, but I'll get there."

Our Sweet Sadie passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 109 on January 25, 1999. May she rest in peace!

Here are some of her memorable quotes....

"Life is short, and it's up to you to make it sweet."

"Bessie can be a little bit nasty sometimes, you know. She thinks it's her God-given duty to tell people the truth. I say to her, 'Bessie, don't you realize people don't want to hear the truth?'"

"Live and let live!"

To Gerry, In celebration of our life together and of our endless love. My love for you is as endless as all the trees and rivers in our beloved upper peninsula. Your spirit lives on in every trout stream and water fall, and on every breeze that sighs through the trees at our river. I will forever hear the baying of our hound, after "one last rabbit," as you walked in search of her, swinging her leash, your whistle to summon her home mingled with the wind in the trees and the gentle roar of the waterfall. You were called away from me; but we will meet again someday and walk, together, to the gentle rustlings of nature with muffy by our side. Your loving wife, Yvonne

After suffering from 14 surgeries since 1986 our husband,father, fatherinlaw and grandfather passed away. It has been a terrible loss and we deeply miss him. We still expect to see him sitting on his swing or driving his truck around the corner but, we know this will not happen.I can't ell how long it will take us to get over the terrible pain and anger I guess we never will.

Lou as everyone knew him was a wonderful person. I met Lou on my first date with my husband, his brother Alan. We became the best of friends that night and have always remained extremely close. I always devoted as much time to Lou's happiness as I have to that of my own family. Lou was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about 8 years ago. We watched him suffer and deteriorate to the point of having to put him in a nursing home at 44 years old. He was a special person that touched many lives, most of all that of mine. He was diagnosed on March 2 with terminal throat cancer and was gone two days later. I was away at the time of his death but as I sat at the table eating dinner, a music box started playing. I know in my heart that it was Lou telling me it was ok and that he was finally free of his pain and for me not to worry about him anymore. That everything was ok. I believe he is ok now. I still visit him a couple times per week only now I talk to him and no one is there to answer. I miss you Lou, you were not only my brother in law and one of my deepest friends, you truly were my soulmate. You really understood me. My life goes on without you buddy, but I'll meet up with you again someday. Until then Lou, I'll always have my memories which I will cherish until I meet up with you again. You are truly in a better place and although I'm devestated over losing you, I'm relieved that your pain has ended. I miss you terribly. Cheryl

A dear Mother and Grandmother and Great Grandmother of many children who she raised in Montreal Quebec. Suddenly died of cancer April 25th 1995. She will always be loved and deeply missed by her entire family and friends. She was a deadicated mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and was very devoted to her loved ones.

My dad was a very special man. He was taken from my mother and I too soon, he was only 49. He loved being in nature, He took me fishing and even hunting a couple of times. Those were the best days of my life. He loved helping children.
He was always there for me when I needed him.

He babysat my son (his pride and joy) for 2 years. He did a wonderful job. Then he started to get sick. I wish he was still here, but deep down I know that he is in a better place.

Dad, I will always remember all of our good times. I miss you.

Your Loving Daughter,
Denise

Dear Daddy, I miss you very much. I wish you were here, alive and in my life. I finally made it through school. I am finally able to buy you a corvette, now! Thank-you for all of your love. Though you and mom were divorced, I never felt like I don't have a Dad, as many children of divorced parents do. You were always there, across all those miles between Texas and Massachusetts. I realize that you scrapped and sacrificed a lot to arrange for us to be together. I appreciate that I have always been a priority. I just wish that I could take care of you, now. I always wanted to. I also would not have given up on your life, in the hospital. Even though they said that you lost so much blood and that your brain would not have worked so well, I would not have given up, if I could have been there in time. I would have dedicated myself as your own personal occupational therapist. Well, it is out of my hands and I don't hate anyone for it. I hope you are proud of me and my accomplishments. I just signed my first job as an O.T. It is a great job. David and I are getting along o.k., now. He finally got into school! Mom is o.k. I hope that you are in heaven, driving dragsters and playing around on heaven's computers. Maybe getting in some golf. Winning it big in heaven's casinos. Flirting with blond bimbo angels. I hope for you to be happy and not in anymore pain. Always remember that I love you. If you can, please give me a sign that you are O.K. Love, your daughter Kerry xxx-000

You are in the rays of sunshine that light the day, the raindrops that give life to all. You have not died. My prayer is for your return to health and happiness in your life beyond these earthly doors. Strong in Life and Strong in Death, I am so proud of you. I miss you so much, we will try to follow your example as we learn to go forward and live without you. Until we meet again.

We miss you so much. No one will ever forget you. We love you forever. If we would have known the drunk driver would hit you we never would have let you go. We cry every night for you both and pray for you. We'll see you in heaven when we get there. Wait for us up there.
Love'
Mom, Dad, and Scott

Margaret Ann was a dynamic lady who triumphed in spite of adversity. Her story should be an inspiration to all. A juvenile diabetic. She became blind just before completing her nursing degree. Undaunted, she returned to school and studied for her bachelors, then her master's in education. She never complained or gave up in spite of kidney problems, thyroid problems and vascular difficulties. She was in a lot of pain at times, but always hung in. Then in 1979, she developed breast cancer which did not respond to treatment. She died 7/3/80. Rest in peace, Margaret Ann. We will always remember your sense of humor and joie de vivre.

I did not know You when You lived. I met Your friends. Some of them meant it, when they said they would have taken the bullet for You. Some of them did not say it. A man whose friends love him to this extent is a man of a higher spirit. I wish I could have known You longer than the seconds I watched You die in my arms. God Bless You. Ivi

You were my grand parents. You both passed away before I was born. You were my mother's mom and dad. Growing up she told me some interesting stories about you both. I would love to have met you and wish you could have been a part of my life growing up. Even though I never got the chance to know you, I still love you very much. I will always remember you in my thoughts and prayers. My mom passed away almost four years ago and I'll bet you were both right there, along side my dad to greet her when she got there. I'll bet it was a joyful reunion. Please look after my mom and dad both, tell them I love and miss them both very much. GOD knows how much I love and miss you all and I'm sure I will see you guys when the good LORD calls me home some day. Take care, hug each other for me and remember that I love you both with all my heart.

Your grand daughter, Suzanne

Megan, you'd laugh yourself sick thinking about a memorial to you stuck out in the middle of something so tacky as an "information highway"! But it's been so hard to resolve your life with your death and I have no idea how to honor you except to remember you as the bright, brilliant, outrageously funny and morbidly unhappy person you were. I miss you, girl. You deserved to die in freefall from a Broadway theatre balcony at a very advanced age, not in agony after a year on your back dehumanized by vaginal cancer. I'll always remember you laughing. I promise.

In Loving Memory of my Brother Richard! You will be missed dearly. You will always be in my heart forever. I love you Richard. Your Lil Sister Tia Marie*

Peggy Dennehy was my grandmother. She was a very loving, caring person, and is sorely missed. She died quickly of a heart attack, without much suffering, as she would have wanted.

She was the head of the family with a saying for every occasion. You were a fighter to the end. I hope that we can all live up to your expectations I know I will try. You are missed everyday. Goodbye Grandma. Christopher

Our Little Bailey Ruth Densley We didn't have you with us for very long, but the time we had was so very precious. We came to know and love you in such a short time. You are a beautiful little girl and will always remain a beautiful spirit. I look forward to the day I will once again see my special little Grandaughter. Your family loves and misses you. We will never forget you!

Dad,

I only knew you 7 short years, but I will never forget you. A wise man once said, "you never get over it, you only learn to deal with it better." I've learn to deal, and you have given me strength. I love you, and I know you are watching, and I hope you are proud.

Your son,
Brian

To Our Darling Baby Son,

We would both like to wish you a very pleasant Happy 1st Birthday in heaven.

We love you very much and miss you dearly, your thought about every minute of every passing day and we hope your happy, surrounded by angels and rainbows.

Cant stop thinking about you Junior

Your memory will last forever and eternity.

All Our Love, Hugs and Kisses

Mummy and Daddy

Long may your music live on, as you will always live on in the hearts of those you touched.

God Bless. you sweet man.. you are sadly missed, because when you went out of this world, a bright light went out, also. A hole appeared in the world and so far it hasn't been filled.

Amazing Grace...How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.

Dad loved the natural world. He drew his strength from it, and put his whole soul into it. He was concerned about the enviroment and tried his utmost to right the wrongs that are being done to our precious earth. He had a passion to make the world a better place.
His early retirement enabled him to give time to the things that were important to him, and he gained so much pleasure from them.
A man of modest means and simple needs, he worked diligently on his beloved garden to make it a haven for local wildlife. His garden teemed with frogs, which grew fat under his ministrations, his fish thrived,he trained the little sparrows to feed from his hand and gently dabbed all the flowers with honey for the butterflies and bees. So gentle and caring was he towards the wildlife, he could not bring himself to kill even the mice which came to visit the food supplies left out for the birds, and, as with all the other wildlife, they were a source of fascination and pleasure to him.
As with the fauna, the flora of his garden was tended with great care and passion. Most of the plants in his garden had been grown by him from seeds, which he collected as and when the flowering seasons were over.
He liked nothing better than to sit on a sunny day in the midst of his zion, content in the knowledge that this was his very own piece of heven on earth.
Like all families, we have had our hard times, but we have always managed to ride the tide. during the last months of his life, my Father and I grew very close, and I am so glad I had those unforgettable few months to make peace with him and to love him, as I have always loved him, but had never shown. Life seems so unfair to now take him away from me just as we had begun to have the kind of Father/Daughter realationship I had always wanted with him and had so desperately desired from him. Losing my father is the greatest sadness I have ever had to face, and words cannot describe the sheer enormity of loss and heartache I feel.
But I owe it to him to emerge from this tragedy a stronger person and able to face the future, as he would of wanted me to, with courage and hope.
I love you so much Father and I will never forget you.
Goodnight my precious.
your loving daughter Julie Ann. XXX

My father, George Derse, passed away on April 27, 2002 after a long battle with emphysema. He suffered from this for about ten years before passing away. He was preceded in death by his wife Edith Derse, whom passed away on January 7, 1997. He is survived by four daughters: Jacqueline Byrd, Karen Derse-Blatt, Tina Bays and Leona Derse. My father was a wonderful man. He worked hard to provide for his family, had a wicked sense of humor, liked movies, reading and sports and was a genuinely nice person whom everyone liked. He is going to be missed greatly by everyone whom got a chance to know him.

With love,

Leona

So as you read this
know my friends,
I'd love to stay with you all.
Please smile when you think of me,
my bodys gone, thats all.

my dearest big brother "Doy Doy". I have loved and missed you all of my life. We have not seen each other for 48 years now. One day I will come home to Heaven to be with you forever. Then we will never know seperation again. I love you, my brother.

Jennifer is my firs born child, we learned how to grow up together. She is missed by all who have ever met her regardless of how brief the meeting had been. She touched many, many lives. She also is a great writer of poetry, which I really didnt get to discover until after her murder. As most of us know, twelve year old girls do like to keep some things private and her poetry was one of those things. Jennifer has left us to cross over to the other side but I know she is waiting for us just as we are waiting to see her. I love you Jennifer, till we meet again. Mom

Dad (Poppy), I'm glad I found this place to remember you with, since you are buried in Oregon. The past month & 1/2 has been a very hard time without you here. I know that it was "your time to go", but that hasn't made it any easier for Mom or I. And I know that if you had made it through that night, you would have been in pain, and not yourself. For that I am glad that you are now pain free & watching over us. I still long to hear your voice, or give you a big hug, but slowly I am coming to realize that will not ever be on this Earth. I can only pray that God gives me the courage to face each day without you. I love you so much & I miss you even more. Please watch over Mom & Grandma every day..... Love, Tu hija

John Joseph Dettmer, Beloved father of Joan H. Dettmer, Bob Dettmer and Bill Dettmer. Loved by Catalina Dettmer, his wife of fourteen years. Died peacefully at home. Missed dearly by a large extended family.

Thanx Mom for everything Your son Piet

Dear Lord, Up above,
Please place one kiss on My Mums cheek,
and tell her its from me to keep.

Each night I shed a silent tear,
As I speak to you in prayer.
To let you know I love you,
And just how much I care.
Take my million teardrops,
Wrap them up in love,
Then I'll ask the wind to carry them,
To you in heaven above.

My Mum never failed to do her best,
her heart was true and tender,
she worked and toiled for those she loved,
and left them to remember,
in tears I watched you sinking
I watched you fade away
and though My heart was breaking
I knew you could not stay

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane, I’d walk
right up to heaven and bring you
home again.

I Love You Mum

Love Michael X X X

Sometimes when a light
goes out in our life
and we are left in the darkness
and do not know which way to go.
we must put our hand into the hand of god
and ask him to lead us...
and if we let our life become a prayer
until we are strong enough
to stand under the weight
of our own thoughts again,
somehow even the most difficult
hours are bearable.

Born in Alton. Il. He died of an unknown illness which started in his eyes. then into his brain. he died within 2 months. we were married only 5 years, one small child. if there's anyone out there that can help with this family, please do. barber family. dewey family. proffer family. cheatham family. thank you.

The dead they rest, their rest is deep. the dead have peace, but the living weep.

A Man Called Wayne... Gentle, kind, and a great sense of humor. Brother-in-law of choice... Mischief in his smile and eyes. Willing to jump into the car at the drop of a hat and go find some good ice cream... Often a banana split. I think we have found most of the best throughout the past years.

We have had a wonderful time.....Never did think it would come to such a quick end, way too soon for all of us. It is still unbelievable that you are gone. There is such a big hole in our lives created by your loss. We will always be there for Elaine..and keep your memory alive.
