Dear Daddy, I thought that I had not missed you, that I had not needed you. I miss you more now than ever. Goodbye, I love you, Suzanne

Aunt Margie was a devoted mother, wife and aunt. She endured a lot in her life. I remember her as being so quiet and hard working. She was so beautiful and many never had the blessing of seeing that side of her, like I did. Aunt Marge, I pray that you are at peace now and in a wonderful place. You deserve the best of eternity. God Bless my Aunt Margie. K.S.H. D.

Bryan Eldridge was my father in law. He was a kind and loving husband and nuturing father. He was a proud ex-marine and christian as well as a mason. He was a advid outdoorsman who loved spending time with his family and friends witch were many. He died of brain cancer after a strong fight. I spent many a day with him during this time and I learned what it was to be brave and strong. I also learned how to love life and not to sweat the small things in life as well. Bryan I'm sorry you never got the chance to see your grand kids before you passed, but as you look down upon them now you can see they are all like you in different ways. I just hope I can be half the father to them as you were. I know ther life would be much more richer if you were here on earth with us now. I miss you "John Boy" take care..

You could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Your parting has left a void I fill with remembered joys. Although your time seemed all to brief, I will not lenghten it with undue grief. God wanted you more; he set you free to fly. So fly my love, soar with the angels high in the sky.

In Loving Memory of our Mother, Ethel Wallbank Brown Elkinton, of Burnley, Lancashire England, and Vancouver Washington USA. "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." We have always loved you, and we have always missed you, you live forever in our hearts. From your loving children, Dennis William Brown, June Brown Cagle, and Kathleen A. Brown.

I miss you mom. Love, Sherri

Chris,

We will all miss you more than you will even know. You were a brother, friend, son, uncle, and boyfriend but most of all you were loved by everyone. You were able to accomplish things I never could, like high school and getting your Eagle rank in boyscouts. You loved cars and your friends and life. You lived life everyday to its fullest, like it was your last day. How sad it makes us to know that on the 20th of October it wouold be. If I have any regrets, it is that I was not around more the last three years, and that I never got to tell you goodbye. Words will never describe the pain and loss we feel, and only time will heal our broken hearts. You had a magnetic personality and making friends just came naturaly to you. Chris, you are loved by so many and missed by more. Our lives will never be the same without you in it, your smile and your animated stories, you could always make someone laugh no matter what. Our lives are better because you were in them, but changed forever because you are gone. We love you, and miss you and you will always have a place in our hearts. Hey, little brother, next time we see each other, the beer is on me. I love you, and I will hear you inthe wind untill I see you again.

Your loving brother,
Brian Ellington

She will be missed.

Casey, you meant a lot to me in every way. Every time I saw your face, it made my day. Whenever I was sad, all I had to do was think of you. I miss you so very much, and I am sure that your family and friends do too. I wish you had not been taken away from us. I still cry to this day, wishing you were here....but, I know that you are up there, and my grandmother is taking care of you....after all, that is why she left 10 days after you. With much love, and much sorrow... Bekah

This Christian was one of the most loving people. He left behind many family members. His son died one year before he did and he went home to Heaven to be with him.

Jimmy,Seven years! It seems like only yesterday I bought you home to meet your sister & brother.You were the light of my life, you bought so much into our lives.The little curly head boy who grew into a man in such a short time.Jimmy was a kind, caring guy who would rather give then receive.He had a way to pick your spirits up when you felt low,he always could put a smile on your face.Then came that terrible disease, AIDS! Jim fought a long battle,hoping to beat it,but it was not to be.Jimmy, how we miss you,you are never far away, your memory is forever with us.When the wind blows, thunderstorms,the stars(especially the "Orion" constellation, the Springs, Summers,Falls & Winters,you are there. I love you son, I miss you,& you will still be "my baby" Mom

Loving Mother, Sister & Friend. Luella was an avid gardner, so I felt this poem would be a fitting memorial. GOD'S GARDEN God looked around his garden, And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never, Get well on this earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered " Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

What can I say in rememberance of the "World's Most Precious Daddy". You were always there for me I miss your voice, your smile, your touch and most of all your strength. You were my rock, my calm in the storm, my proud daddy. Though we knew your time was limited no one could have prepared me for the day you left. I am glad I was with you. No one could ever prepared me for this pain, emptiness or grief. But that's not what I want to remember. My dad was my best friend. He was loved by so many and admired by his children and grandchildren. One of my daughters once said "Grandpa has a song for everything" and she was so right. What a voice, how many Songs we have sung together. Countless tears, countless joys, all but a memory. I need your strength to go on I just can't quite grasp that your not coming back. I will end with this short poem just for you daddy. I KNOW YOU ARE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN, AND I KNOW WE'LL MEET AGAIN; YET, EVERY WAKING HOUR & BREATH, I MISS MY DAD, MY FRIEND!!! Your loving daughter, SAMANTHA.

It's Christmas Day 2000 and I still miss my dad as much as I did the day the Good Lord took him home, so many things are happening in my life now, I am pulling from memory the strength he gave me to carry on, and in times of trouble go with my heart and what is right. I also want to share this poem I received today for Christmas.

~Memories of My Father~
A Father who always picked me up
anytime that I was down,
Now walks the Heavenly streets of gold
and wears a golden crown.

He was there to play with me
or share a princely tale,
Now he lives with the Price of Peace
behind the starry veil.

The father who could do no wrong
at least to my childish eyes.
Has now inherited a child's delight
Heaven's beauty is the prize.

All the things we used to do
I know I'll miss along life's way.
But I'll rejoice, just to know
that he's with Jesus everyday.
~By Jonie Anthony

I miss you dad, please look down on me and smile, you would be so proud of my girls, you adored so very much. They are little young ladies now, and say they still have dreams of you singing to them, and that sometimes you appear as an angel to them in their dreams assuring them they are going to be fine. They miss you so and I am so glad they remember you. I am sure they will never forget you, as I will never forget My Little Daddy. You are my rock, I cling to your wisdom and lessons you have taught me throughout the 30 years I had with you, thank you for loving me so unconditionally. ~Until we meet again ~Samantha

Blessed Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt. We loved you so much, It was hard to let her go.

Gregory, was a wondeful brother. He was so gentle and kind. He was always there to guide us and give the encouragement need to carry on...........We will miss you forever my dear brother. WE LOVE YOU GREGORY, YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob was my firstborn son. I loved him then and I love him still. Others may "forget" but I never will.
They say your first child is special and he is my forever baby and eternal angel.

I can't wait till I meet him again.

With lots of love and kisses,
