He has altered my incredible, insatiable desire for music forever. I haven't been the same since I discovered this "Boyd Wonder".

Thank you Rodney and Molly -

Althea was killed by an intruder who did not have kill this nice eldrey lady who could barley get around. May he fry in hell.

Dearest Dick,

I miss you very much. I still love you and always will. You were a very special person, not only to me, but to everyone who knew you.

I don't ever recall telling you, but one of the things I liked most about you, was your reliability. I liked knowing that you were going to meet me at the airport, you would definitely be there and probably be early. I liked that if I told you I was upset, you would always stop everything and listen to me and try to help.

Another thing I really liked was the way you cared for and played with our cats. They miss you too. Thank you for giving me the emotional and financial support to live my life as I chose. It was wonderful of you and I am deeply appreciative. It made me a better person and has helped me deal with your death.

I am happy when I think of all the good times we shared. I loved going on vacation with you. Our ideas of fun were well matched. I really enjoyed snuggling up with you on the couch and talking for hours.

I miss most the specialness of our relationship. I miss being the most important person to you, and your being the most important person to me. It sometimes still is inconceivable to me that you are no longer part of my life.

I love you and miss you very much. I am very glad I was your wife.

Love always, Alice

It's been almost 20 years, Mom. We still miss you. Jennifer, Mike, Lynn, Dale & Rob.

She was vibrant, happy and full of energy. She died in her sleep without any warning. She was our one and only, our future, one of the Best and the Brightest.

Dearest JuJu and Half Pint,

Soaring to your own star,
you reached the sky.

John Drinkwater...aka Buckshot John I feel so good knowing that I "truly" loved you. I didn't just say it, I showed it. I know things were rocky for us, but we overcame all that. Like you constantly told me there were friends and there were associates. You and I know where the two of us stood. How do I know this? Because we told each other EVERY SINGLE DAY! I thank GOD I have your final words to me..."I love you". THANK YOU JOHN.. During the upcoming months when I'm going to be missing you like crazy, I'll look at Jonai and say "I still have a part of you..." This is what will keep me going. we love you. P.S. NY will never be the same for me.

John: I miss you very much. I still love you and always will. You were a very special person, not only to me, but to everyone who knew you. I thank GOD I told you everyday how much I loved you. I don't recall ever not telling you, but one of the things I liked most about you, was your reliability. I liked knowing that you were going to meet me at the airport, you would definitely be there and probably be early. I liked that if I told you I was upset, you would always stop everything and listen to me and try to help. Another thing I really liked was the way you cared for and played with Jonai over the phone and in person. She miss you too. Thank you for giving me the emotional support to live my life as I chose. It was wonderful of you and I am deeply appreciative. It made me a better person and it will help me deal with your death. I am happy when I think of all the good times we shared. I loved going to the city with you. I loved going shopping. Most of all I loved being in the "COURTYARD MARRIOTT" REMEMBER VALENTINES DAY??? heh heh..Our ideas of fun were well matched. Remember on the train? Remember you drove my car and I had to yell at you for speeding?...lol!!! I really enjoyed EVERYTHING we did...You left something behind with me...Something that is YOURS...*wink* I miss most the specialness of our relationship. I miss being the most important person to you, and your being the most important person to me. It is going to be very hard to know you will not be with me and Jonai. But John we shall meet on the other side and when we do we both will be in perfect health and the same age. There will be no FAKE so called lovers...heh heh..thas what u called them not me! rofl!!!!!!!! what am going to do that you are no longer here? I love you and miss you very much. I am very glad I was your "TRUE" LOVE. Love always, AlaNaiJon

Kelly:

We will all miss you dearly - it is very sad that you had to leave us so soon. You have brought pride and joy to everyone who knew you.

You have accomplished so much and have made us all proud. As a kindergarten/first grade teacher you were able to give a little of yourself to each individual that has crossed your path. And for that you will never be forgotten.

We Love you and We will all miss you!!!
Your Friends

Three years now. The familiar blanket that is grief, has become a mantle: of power and strength, of God's glory, of love. Yvette, loving you and losing you has given me this. Just wait till you see what I bring with me, when I see you again. Love, Mom

A wonderful mother, aunt and friend who knew the meaning of the word "love". She left the body that caused her so much pain in exchange for a better place that the ones who were left behind have yet to know. I'll always remember the leaf tornado, lin. Those that will miss her for always, Colleen, little Jeff, Mommy Del, Tom, Maur, Bec, Heather, Rob, little Robby (yet to be born), Sam, Katie, Big Jeff, Denny and cousin Greg...and many more.Those days in Texas changed us all forever.

i know you're smiling down on me
saying everythings okay
ans if i never leave this thug life
i'll see you again someday
i wish i wish i wish

Our sweet Alissa struggled from the age of three weeks old against the ravaging effects of Group B Meningitis. During her short and painful life she taught everyone who loved her, and many of her doctors, therapists and others who cared for her, so much about love, patience and strength.

A bit over a month before her third birthday, we lost our darling little girl. She left heartbroken parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Her funeral was attended by some of her doctors and health care workers, people whose lives she had touched.

Alissa is at peace now, forever resting in our thoughts and in our hearts.

Great-Grandmother, born in Porto Santo, Portugal. Daughter of: Joao Pestana de Velloza and Sebastiana da Piedade. Buried, St. Mary's cemetery, Oakland, CA Died at age: 87. May she rest in peace.

Great-Grandfather, born, Porto Santo, Portugal. Son of: Diogo Antonio Drummond and Antonia de Vasconcellos. He died at age 77 in Porto Santo where he is buried. May he rest in peace.

My father is survived by 3 sons--Fred Jr. Ron, Mike. One daugher, who he was very close to-- Donna... And, a very dear wife--Esther L....mom saw him through lots of hard times. And even though we all knew it was a matter of time before the inevitable...it was still very hard to deal. My father and I weren't close. He was a military man who had high expectations. I just didn't seem to live up to them. I guess, I never really wanted to.

I miss my father very much. Sometimes, more than I even can believe. I will always miss him. I don't think this feeling will ever go away.

Dear "Baba", It has been a long time since you left us, but still I cannot let you go. I hear and see you a lot. Edju is verry good, as is Terry, but they all do miss you, as does Babcia. As you know, she is still with us, but I worry about her all the time. Will you please lead her? I know you will, as you loved her. I remember I had to read a poem. You know in school I was a clown, but seeing you there, I just broke down. We used to read all the time, remember? And when that stroke 1st made you weak, me and the girls used to give you those animals for your arms?? I want you to know that I love you Baba, and so does everyone around us..We will never forget you!!! Mihalca (I think I spelled it right!)

My father-in-law was a very special man. He always mad you laugh and always had a wise tale to tell you if you let him. He was so strong, he overcame alot in his lifetime. But in the end cancer got the best of him. He loved his grandchildren so much.(Joey,Miranda,Savannha,Kyle,Justin,Tyler,Sareha,Donavan)And they loved him also. He had 5 children.(Raymond,Leo,Denise,Shawn,Bobby)My mother-in-law (Geri) till this day is having a very hard time. He loved the Pittsburg Steelers Football Team, building models and working on his car. In the end iam very thankful for is that he passed away at home with his whole family by his side. We all got to say goodbye. I know your looking down at us dad and making sure things go right. I thank you for that. We love and miss you very much, you will never be forgotten. Love your Daughter-in-law Shannon
