Dale, Everyday that goes by without you is like a stab in the heart. I miss you my Precious Baby brother and wish that you were here to celebrate "our" season together it just isn't the same without you. Always know that I will love you and never let you die within me. You are my soul and my best friend. Love Your Big Sis, Amanda

I love you and miss you Dad. You were the best. Your daughter GMFC

Lee lived a full life,survived 2 successful kidney transplants and loved music,acting and his friends and family.His sisters Dorothy and Julie miss him a lot as do his parents,Sonny and Jerry. We think of him often,especially when eating good food,which was his passion. I am thankful for the years we had as a family and that we could share many memorable times.See you at the Pink Flamingo,Lee. Love you, your sister Dorothy.

Beloved daughter of John R. Folk of Westminster, MD and Dawn M. Folk of Rosedale, MD. "Our Angel Baby", as we would call her, was so full of life and touched the lives of many others; a woman who worked at a Subway restaurant, where we would occassionally eat, had become acquainted with Jocelyn and even came to her funeral. Jocelyn died in a car accident in which I, John, her father, was driving. She died instantly, but I came out with only a few scratches. I wonder why God decided to take Jocelyn and leave me. I do not know the answer to that, but I do know this: Jocelyn decided, of her own accord, to go up to the alter at church during the Invitational and receive Jesus as her personal Savior. Now I had often witnessed to Jocelyn about Jesus just to educate her of his existence, but never thought that she would, cognizantly, accept Him into her heart at such a young age. (I was not saved until I was 17.) I don't know at what age a child bocomes responsible for his/her sins, (I know we are all born sinners) but there is no doubt in my mind that Jocelyn is now in the arms of our Father in Heaven. She was truly an angel on earth, and now, an angel in Heaven. A few days after her death I was watching a show about angels on TLC in which a man's testimonial about his experience with angel concerning the death of his sister was as follows: An angel came to him in a dream and said, "Fear not. Your sister is in heaven. Sometimes God needs the best flower in the garden..." I take great comfort in this testimonial, for I believe that Jocelyn was such a flower.

My Beloved husband of 20 years passed away after a 3 month battle with AML. He was my soul mate, my perfect partner, the father of our five children. We had so many people tell us that they couldn't believe how much in love we were. I thought the world of him as he did me. We always talked about growing old together and kissing without any teeth. There are so many little things that I miss so much about my love. He us to call me everyday from work just to say "I Love You" He missed his daugthters wedding and will miss the others. He will never get a chance to know his grandchildren. Why this happened to him I will never understand. It's not fair for such a wonderful man to pass on. I could never say that I wish I could take his place because that wouldn't be fare to him. That would be wishing all this pain that I am feeling on him. And I love him to much to let him feel this pain. One day I will be with him again. Then we can have our love for eternity.

I Love and Miss You Tom

Your Wife, Carol

My dad left this world after a valiant fight with cancer. He left his wife, Helene, son, Louis and daughters, Lynda (Sorrell), Julie (Doetsch) and Gloria (Bishop). We were just children when you passed on. I believe in life after death and know that you are in heaven with God. When I had my "near-death" experience in 1972, I know that you were there to greet me. Some day we will meet again. Until then, I hope that you will continue to be there for us. Many days, I can feel your presence. I just wanted you to know that Louis has eight children, Lynda, Julie and I each have two: Ron, Jill, Davey, Amy, Chrissy and Jenny. Davey and Jenny will be the last to graduate from High School, this year. They will go on to college in the fall. May God always take good care of you. If he has the time, ask him to let you give us a sign that you're around. All my love always, Gloria

My dear dear son, it has been 5 1/2 years and how much I miss you in my life.You will always be inside of me, I will always remember you. I will always miss you, there isn't a day I go without thinking about you. It is VERY HARD just thinking of you makes me cry. I Love You Very Much My Son. Your Mom.

Paw Paw, it has been many years since you left and I still think of you often and miss you very much. I know you are in heaven and I am anxious to see you when I get there. You made such a difference in my life and words could never tell how much I love you and miss you. You were the funniest and kindest man I have ever known. I am very very lucky to have been your granddaughter. Save me a place. Kohne

Dan, Time sure flies. It just seems like yesterday when we were together and happy. Even though our time together was over two years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. Swimming in that disgusting creek, sneaking over to each others houses at night to be together. I will never forget the long walks at the park and those nights we spent laying on the dewy ground looking at the stars. I don't know what happened to our friendship? As our lives changed we grew farther and farther apart. We parted on bad terms, saying and doing many hurtful things to one another. The things we argued over and all the other problems we had seem so simple-minded now that your gone. Now that I look back they were not even worth being angry about. Why did we hold so much anger toward each other? You left this world believing that I hated you. I am so very sorry! I never hated you, I was just upset at the things you said and did. I hope it's not to late to make peace with you. I forgive you and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. It has been exactly one week since your death and there is not a minuet that I don't think about you. I would do anything to see you one last time to tell you all of these things in person. Nineteen years old is to young to die. Dan, I hope Steven Clark, the man who killed you while driving intoxicated is rotting in hell. Things were going so good for you. Newly married and a new baby. Just as you turned your life around some idiot with no respect for others kills you. Because of him you were cheated out of your time on earth to spend with your new wife and baby girl. Shannon and Baby Sheila were also cheated of that time with you. Sheila will never get to know the really caring, loving, witty, and wonderful guy that was her daddy. We all wish that you would come back to us. The times everyone had with you will not be forgotten. The memories that we made together will live on. Dan, you will alway be close to my heart. I am very proud you and all you accomplishments that you made. We all loved you. I love you and miss you. Love Always & Forever Nancy Allshouse

Maw Maw: I miss you so much still. You were my second Mom and I learned so much from you about life. You were strong and kind and unselfish and I love you dearly. I will always remember the best advice I ever got was from you. I know you and Paw Paw are together now and that is what makes you really happy. He is probably still saying,"Watch this" and making you yell. The best times of my life were spent with you and Paw Paw. I wonder what you would think about things now. I'll ask you when I see you in heaven. Love,Kohne

Boy do we miss you buddy. Your leaving has made our life seem sad and dreary, almost like it's winter all the time. You brought such joy and sunshine into our lives, and now we have to learn, again, how to smile and be happy about anything, I don't know if it is possible, it sure seems impossible right now. Here is a little thing I wrote for you on the day we buried you. I love you babe, and we miss you more than you will ever know. Your mommy is lost right now, she just doesn't know what to do with herself without you. You were the reason for everything in our lives, and we were so blessed to have you with us, even it was only for 2 years. To My Buddy Ben, Now that you're gone, how do I begin to pick up the pieces of my broken heart? I know I won't be able to gather them all, because once again another piece is gone. Gone with you, the joy of my life, my reason to smile, and for a lot of us the meaning of life. You helped us all when we couldn't think of going on, now once again I don't know how....How to sit without my Ben who fit so perfectly in his grandma's lap, how to dance to our favorite songs, how to sleep at night without you in my arms. No more Ben smell, no more grins, no more "Grandma Come Here" over and over again. So babe, take care of that piece of your grandma's heart, until the time when I can gather them all, and be with all of you, the special ones, the one's God couldn't live without. I Love You Babe, Grandma

To my beloved son Ben, it is hard to believe that it has been almowt five years since you left us, sometimes it seems like only yesterday. We know that you are in a wonderful place, and that you are taking care of Shi and Ben, and that helps get through the days. Your daughter is growing up to be a bright, beautiful, well adjusted little person, you must be so proud of her. Thank you for being such a big part of my life, I love and miss you everyday. Love, Mom

A dear friend, brother, and son! His inspiring life and ministry will remain a sweet memory in all those he helped and loved. May the things he lived for down here be a model for those of us who are left behind. God Bless You, Fuffy!!!

It's only been 1 year since you left our lives and it feels like 1 million. Cody was a beautiful blonde haired blue eyed 16 month old Angel who touched many lives. He was the most loving and giving child I know and I miss him dearly. I love you Cody, not a day, minute, or second goes by that I dont think of you. You will always be my little Cody bear.

Dad, I miss you so very much. It is now July 6, 2005 and I still miss you every day. I wish so much that I had told you how much I loved you. You were a great man and I admired you so much the way you managed to take care of a family of 11 children and it seemed half the other kids in the area. You were a great big teddy bear of a man and I loved you so much. Wish you could have been here to see my three granddaughts and now my 2 great granddaughters. I love and miss you so much.
Your Daughter

MOM, here I am on July 6th 2005. I still miss you and Dad so very much. I wish I had talked to you more and said more often how much I loved you. I remember you at all the important times in my life. You taught me so very much without realizing it. You were a great lady and the most talented I have ever or I will ever know.. Always so kind and forgiving to everyone. I love you and miss you so much. You and Dad had been married since Dec. 24, 1919 and now that I'm older I believe you should have received a medal for raising us 11 children with out doing bodily harm to us to make us mine. You were the greatest. Attached is your wedding picture. Love you. Your daughter
Bertie Fore Smith

Our beautiful baby. Taken from us before she could take her first breath. We never got to look into her eyes or hear her cry. We love her so much and will never forget her.

Find a soft pillow Lord,
to lay her head upon,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and whisper who its from.

Tommy is our little angel. While he was here with us, he taught us more without ever saying a word, than all the books in the world. Thank you for our focus beyond this world Tommy. We love you and look forward to being with you again.

Wife, Mother, Artist, Nurse. Died from Ovarian Cancer

He was a person who showed kindness and understanding with a very keen sense of humour, many people including myself miss him, for years he came and went, as if by magic appearing in times of need and letting the sun shine in my life again, I am proud to have loved him and honoured that he loved me, though I am very sad that he suffered at his end and passed away in a hospice so very far away, and that I did not know, so could not say Goodbye or Thank him for the happiness he gave me, nor say sorry for the sad times. Rest in Peace Harvey.

In remembrance of my brother, Stephen. Martyn has made you a grandfather, your grandson is called Stephen Thomas Forrest too. Your daughter Sarah is now married. You are still missed by your family and everyone who ever knew you. Love always from your sister, Jane.

Dad, you have now joined your son, Stephen Thomas Forrest. I'm sure he came for you and made your passing easy. You are much missed, always.
Your loving daughter, Jane

May the angels in heaven look after you as you looked after us.

God bless always thinking of you.

My Dear Precious Mother....Oh how my heart aches for you. I miss you beyond words. My heart is forever broken since you left us and I wonder how I will get through each day without your precious presence in my life. You made your family your pride and joy, giving each and every day so unselfishly of yourself, making each one of us who we are today. Your beautiful face, your radiant smile, your determination, your strength, your accepting, loving, giving heart lives on in all of us. We were truly blessed to have know such a devoted love from a mother and grandmother. Most people never have the privilege of experiencing that love in their lifetime. We will be eternally grateful. You brought joy and happiness into every life you touched along the way. You taught me what life and unconditional love are. You were my inspiration mom with a true loving, giving and accepting heart. I will be forever grateful for all you have given to me and to all of my children. You live on each one of their hearts, their faces, their lives. The contentment and peace you so genuinely brought to my life is forever gone. What you have given me will live on in my heart, and the hearts of each one of us forever. There are no words left to express the emptiness in our lives, express the deep sorrow of missing you always. We will always keep you close in our hearts till we can see your beautiful face once again. Now and Forever, I will love you eternally My Best Friend, My Beloved Mother. Your daughter, Cathie

Mack was my beloved husband of 25 years. He died suddenly of a heart attack on his job at Ford Motor Co.

It has been 14 months since his death, but I miss him more each and every day.

It is hard facing each day without him but I know that I have to face each day without him now.

Even though Mack is gone, I still feel his presence around me. He sends me signs and even the day, after his death, he sent me a message to me and our son, Curtis about "how much he loved us and to give us a kiss" after his death.

In his message, he told me how "he didn't have time to say" , "Good-Bye" , and "that he had to go."

The message came thru a 8 year old boy who was like a grandson to my husband.

Before my husbands passing, I never had any experiences of anything happening to me like this , but since his passing, I do believe that your loved ones can send messages to you if only we open our eyes and our heart to them.

So many things have happened that I started keeping a journal of the different signs that he has sent since his death.

It is strange because my husband really never said, one way or another if he believed in it or not. So now he knows better but he had to pass on to find out for himself.

When I get these different signs, it makes me feel so happy that "true love" never dies. That they are watching over you like a Guardian Angel.

When I say "signs", I call it signs, when there is no explanation for what just happened.

Mack, was a fun loving man who loved to laugh and he was the most generous person you could ever ask for.

Mack would give you his shirt off your back if you ask for it. Sometimes people can take advantage of a person like that, too.

I can go on and on but my message to you, is " Love Never Dies" it is eternal.

Mack Junior Foster, " I will always love you".

Thanks for the signs, too.

God Bless You and thank you for taking the time to read this long "Memorial" to my husband, "Mack Junior Foster.

Wife, Mother, Nurse, Friend, Colleague, Daughter, Sister. Peg, we'll miss your warmth, your laughter, and your outrageous sense of humor. Succumbed to leukemia at age 32

A day like any other day,
Or so I thought on waking,
Never ever did I think,
Whom God would be taking.

Peter you had just gone out,
You would be back quite soon,
A knock on the door from a Policeman,
We were at hospital by noon.

As you lay ther on the trolley,
Deep inside we knew,
Although you were kept alive,
That we were loosing you.

They took our Peter to Preston,
The family were all there,
We could only sit and watch,
In total utter despair.

To sit there Oh so helpless,
We could only hold your hand,
The sadness we were feeling,
No one will ever understand.

In the afternoon the doctors came,
Their tests had to be done,
We had to face the facts,
You were gone from everyone.

We still find it hard to accept,
That our Peter he has died,
So many hearts were broken,
So many tears ere cried.

Please watch over us Peter,
Our cross is hard to bear,
We need to know you are with us,
We need to know you are there.

Lots of love brother, gone but never forgotten.

Love Maria

Chris was a very wonderful, loving, and giving person.I am
making this memorial for him because of the way he touched
my life and many others.We can't go visit his grave but his
memory will live on in all of our hearts forever. Chris

but he pasted away a few days later.This news was a shock
to so many of his friends and family. Writing this is
helping me cope with his loss, as I hope it will help others
to remember him. He always had a smile and he was very
funny too. I know in my heart that Chris will have eternal
life in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless

Biscuit, we had such a short time with you but it was long enough to fall in love with you, our second child. You know how much we wanted you and how broken hearted we were to find you gone. Knowing that you are our little angel in heaven and that you are with Cookie is our only comfort. We will see you again one day; but until then, know that you are forever in our hearts and we miss you. We love you.
Mommy and Daddy

Cookie, you were a much wanted child who came into our lives so unexpectedly. We loved you from the minute we knew you were there and it broke our hearts to find you gone. Our comfort comes from knowing you are an angel in heaven and that you and Biscuit are together. What joy it will be to be reunited with our two little angels when the time comes. Until then, know that we miss you and you are always in our hearts. We love you, sweetie.

Not only have we lost one shining star, Kenneth Glenn Fox, our father, but now we have lost another. Your death was sudden, without warning.
You were a great brother, a great father and a great son.

A light stands in the darkness to guide you home. You fought a good fight; you kept the faith. We will not forget. We love you.

Mom (Janie), Vallen and Tyran

Dad I would like to thank you for being my father, for giving me life, love and awareness of human kindness, pain, fear, frailty, strength, generosity, perserverance, family unity, and laughter, laughter, laughter. Thank you for all that you are. My life is enriched a thousand fold for having shared a brief part of it with you. The pain of losing you is lessened only by the belief that you are surrounded by love and light. I love you eternally. "It is with great pride that we call you our father and friend, It is with great sadness that we say goodbye, and It is with the greatest of all love that we release you to the beauty that awaits."

Jennifer,

You were so young. If they didn't ignore you this wouldn't have happened. If only I could have been there, you wouldn't have picked up that bottle of pills. Nothing could bring you back to me. I'll never be the same. When you died, the remaining of my soul died along with you. We both survived for nearly 17 years...but we were together. You kept me alive. How do you expect me to live now? I'll forever love and miss you dearly. I'll see you soon, very soon.......

To our Wonderful Dad: It has been two years, but you are still present in everything we do. You were taken from us without warning, which makes it even harder for us. You were always a star, shining in the night. You were a great actor. You should have been up there with the rest of the great actors. In your next life, you will be. We know that you are our guardian angel: watching over us. We can feel your presence around us. Just remember, You are loved and missed. Love, Janie(mom) Dirk, Vallen, Tyran

I have spent a long time trying to think what to say. Nothing seems right or comes even close to expressing what I feel.

To say that I loved you - you already knew that.

To say that I missed you - is obvious.

To say that I wish you were still here - doesn't need to be said.

So what is left to say:

I loved you, I miss you, and I wish you were still here.

Goodbye mum

Nick, Lynn, Emma, Jenny, and Helen Fox

Sharon Carroll Fox passed away on 6/25/91 of cancer that spread from breast cancer. She adopted 4 children and had two of her own. She was my mother for 15 years and was a wonderful one at that. I am sending many prayers to her and to the people who are suffering in her absence.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 43. The cancer spread and within 4 years she died, afflicted with cancer of the liver,spine, lungs, and brain. She was the most generous woman you'd ever hope to know. May perpetual light shine upon her as she lies at rest with our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In memory of my mother, Anita, who passed away still girlish and very brave. Mom, I see your face echoed in mine as I grow up and look in mirrors. I still cry when I think of you and how unfair it all is.

You are not forgotten. We remember with love.
