You will be greatly missed in my every day routines, I never called you Daddy, but to me you will always be my Daddy forever. I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for everything that you did for me. I love you, Alice

In memory of my Beloved. As much as I could ever love a woman, so I will alway be in love with you. I have learned that I do not have to say goodbye. I will always be in love with you... now it is a spiritual love. I hope you know how much I you have been loved.

I saw you everyday, and I held you more than once. I never knew the burden you carried. To go back is what I wish for, to go forward is what I must do. I will think of you always, I know you are in a better place. Lovingly and forever Patricia Moss

Dearest Mommy, I miss you so much and I look towards the day when you wrap your arms around me and comfort me once more. You gave so much of yourslef to me and I cannot bear your absence. Keep your vigilant watch over me, Mom...I can feel you in my soul. Daddy loves you and misses you as much as I, but of course you know that. Our family and friends grieve your death intensely, and feel that you were taken to soon from our hearth. May God ease your wordly pain and may I make you prouder than you ever thought was possible. I dedicate my work to you, Mom, my teacher, mentor, my heart of hearts. I adore you. I think I've learned more about your patience since you've been gone. You are among God's angels, now, as always. With all my being, I Love you

Jerrah "Doc" Heard was the living embodiment of a good ol' boy. His wry wit and razor-sharp Texas-sized sense of humor kept everyone in stitches. He joined the U.S. Navy to avoid going to Vietnam and they promptly sent him there as a corpsman with a U.S. marine Long Range recon Team (he didn't talk about that much), and he was also a corpsman in the U.S. Coast Guard. He loved Willie Nelson, John Prine, beer and the Texas Hill Country. His wife Carol and all his friends miss him like hell. Rest easy ol' buddy.

I will always miss both of you. I was just a teenager when we met and you were both already well past 70. I am thankful for the wisdom and gentleness you always shared with me. You made this world a better place -- and your influence will live and grow forever. I nearly said I hope you are in a place of rest -- but, I know you too well -- whatever is in the afterlife -- I know you are not resting! Please, occasionally when I am overcome by life -- reach down and touch me and give me the gift of your gentle love once again. I miss you so much.

For me, Pat will always be remembered for his big dreams. He dreamed of becoming Prime Minister one day, or being rich and living in a far away exotic country. He never set limits for himself.

He was outgoing and everybody loved him. When he went to France on exchange in 2004, I loved that he e-mailed me nearly every day, as we were both in similar situations (I was on exchange as well). When we got back, I loved to argue with him in French. It was our thing.

Now he is gone, but I know I will see him again in heaven someday. And when I do, the first thing I am going to say is, "Pat! Tu m'as manque."

In loving memory of a dear husband,father,grandad & great grandad.
Always remembered and loved by his family.
With us every day in some way.

My father, my inspiration. A fountain of tears will never run dry for you. The day you were born, I was not yet. The day you died, I will never forget. Years since you've passed, I still look to please you. not a second has aged you memory from my mind, nor you my love for you from my heart. I hope to become the woman you always wanted me to be, and I hope to make you proud.I love you daddy,

An actor, a "ham"l;, a young man who loved people and life and most of all his God. We didn't have time to say good by. It hurts even after seven years, but you are loved, missed and never forgotten. We know you are in Heaven and we will see you again someday. At that time we will get another bear hug full of love and laughter. But for now we must wait and miss you terribly. Too young to die; so much to give. We just don't understand why. Jon was from Winter Garden, Florida, USA. Love Mom and Dad

I wished you could have known my child and her son, I know you would have loved them, and they would have loved you.
I know your with mom and the angels, and I know you have been looking down on us. I know I made you smile at times and I know I have made you cry too. Please always know I love you Dad, and I miss you.

The passion of lover's is for death, said she...

Just before dawn on a Saturday morning you made your debut. You weren't expected for another three weeks, but I guess you didn't want to miss Christmas. What a sweet child! Always pleasant and smiling. You loved the frilly dresses I sewed for you, yet at age 2 you insisted on corduroy slacks like "big brother". You wore them with your shirt hanging out and I called you my "little waif". Our home was often filled with the giggles of you and your friends. Three brothers followed and you loved being "big sister". At sixteen your Dad and two youngest brothers perished in a terrible house fire. You were never able to come to terms with this tragedy and the loss. Soon you grew into a fine young woman and we became best friends. Suddenly you were struck with a terrible illness. You took it in stride and didn't bemoan your fate. In five years you were gone. I laid you to rest with the brothers you missed so much. As you cared for them on earth, please watch over them in Heaven for me. You'll always be my little girl. I miss you so much.

You were a surprise fifth blessing. Now I had four wonderful sons and one beautiful daughter. You were a joy to us all. Your siblings were old enough to spoil you. How you loved your construction toys and "The Village" you and your friends were building. You loved to sport your Dad's Navy hat and "salute the admiral." (Me) How proud you were to be learning your prayers in Latin, "like the big kids." Our home was full of life and love. A clear May morning dawned and suddenly we were engulfed in smoke and flames. You were found, not far from safety, in your father's arms with your brother and our puppy. My littlest one, my heart aches for all of you. My only solace is knowing you are all in God's Care.

Died after a bone marrow transplant for aplastic anemia; student, Purdue University; member Alpha Phi Omega; clarinet player; president, Key Club; active in community service; loved and respected by all who knew her.

You were my fourth blessing. My third son. Our family was growing and we were so happy. You soon joined the others in your enjoyment of the electric train set-up. You worked so hard for your Boy Scout badges. We enjoyed your scout activities and took pride in all your achievements. You were a pleasure to all your teachers; bright, cheerful and well behaved. How proud you were to be an Altar Server at Mass. We also were so proud of you standing tall assisting the Priest. In three weeks you were to be confirmed. Another milestone! Dear son, Our Lord had other plans for you and us. Our home erupted in flames and you, Dad and your litttle brother did not survive. A large part of me went with you all. I am here because my work on earth is not completed. You and I doing a Mexican Hat Dance is a fond memory. I know that over the years you are looking down upon your family and protecting us. I miss my darling boy.

You were so kind and gentle to all of us. A wonderful husband and great father. A caring and thoughtful person. We both enjoyed and took pride in our five wonderful youngsters. Truly blessings from God. Each one was so special in their own way. We held fast to each other and our faith. Our future held so much promise. One fateful day amidst smoke and flame you and two of our sons left me. Suddenly my whole world collapased. Our hopes and dreams and your lives turned to ashes. I had no desire to go on, but three other children needed me. With many Blessings from above I was able to start anew. It wasn't easy. There was a very large part of me that went with you. Twenty two years later our only daughter joined you. Take care of our little ones for me. You are now all in God's Care. I miss you all.

Joshua.... The Wind Beneath My Wings ... The Light Of My Life, and My Best Friend, There are still so many things left unsaid so many things you still had left to do and experience ..

Your smile your voice the touch of your kiss against my cheek... will never be forgotten. My heart will forever carry the distinct mark you left on it. Forever My Sweet Bear..

From the Auburn Reporter Editor, Feb 05 2009 by Mark Klaas:

To understand Doug Helton's father is to know he cared deeply about others.

"It was his upbringing by his parents," Helton said. "It was a very strong Christian family who believed in respect and reaching out to others."
Don Helton, family patriarch, longtime community and civic leader and operator of Auburn's Price-Helton Funeral Chapel for nearly 30 years, died last Sunday from pneumonia. He was 79.

Helton was revered and respected by many in the community. The hard-working man also maintained a close relationship with the Muckleshoot Tribe.

"When he had his second stroke, they came to his house and the elders prayed for him," Doug Helton said.

In tribute, Tribal representatives will present a blanket to the Helton family. It will be placed inside Helton's casket.

Funeral services are 1 p.m. today at Grace Community Church, 1320 Auburn Way S. A private entombment will be at Mountain View Cemetery.

Helton, born and raised in Camas, graduated from California College of Mortuary Science in Los Angeles. He worked as a funeral director in Olympia and Tacoma before coming to Auburn to manage and then own Price-Helton Funeral Chapel. He remained there from 1955 to 1986 before retiring.

Doug Helton recalls his father worked long and hard, both in business and in community service.

"He always was a hard worker," he said. "He would hire me as a young boy ... You would never stand still"

The elder Helton enjoyed travel and recreational flying. He was a licensed pilot for 30 years, one of three pilots in the family.

Helton's life was filled with service and volunteering. He served two terms on the city planning council, was past president of the Auburn Kiwanis Club and Washington State Funeral Directors Association. He also served on the YMCA board of directors and worked with the White River Valley Historical Society.

He was often rewarded for his contributions. He left a memorable legacy for family and friends.

"He accomplished a lot in his life," Doug Helton said.

Helton was preceded in death by his wife, Betty, in 1993, and sister, Margie, in 2007.

He is survived by two sons, Doug (Mary Ann) of Kent, Ron of Vancouver and three daughters, Linda (Dennis) Jones of Mount Vernon, Keitha (Tim) Geehan of Puyallup, Karen Hartman of Cashmere, seven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and close friend, Jeanette Wheeler.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the White River Valley Museum in Auburn. Online sentiments may be journaled at www.mem.com

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot conqure the Spirit.

A poem written by his wife Stelle McGuire Hemphill In Memory of My Husband Henry T. Hemphill The footsteps of his quiet life Fell on us like the dew; And good thoughts were his footsteps pressed, And now his vacant chair. Just three weeks ago today God took him away But he has only moved from this house Into a beautiful mansion The road was too rough for dear husband to stay it was uphill all the way; No flowers, but thorns instead And the skies overhead were grey Yet we know this better by far For you husband dear To enter in at the gate ajar And be with God and have only rest and joy. To miss the sorrows and the woe The toils and every headache here To go where Christian spirit goes, Where all is peace and never a tear So we, who loved you most, will pray That when we cross death's cold wave We may have lived in such a way That before long we may Meet beyond the grave.

Jenni was so full of life. When she walked into a room, she owned it. Though my family didn’t know her very long, she was easy to love and we did love her, very much. She had a magnetic personality and was genuinely sweet and funny. She loved her family and friends enormously and talked about them incessantly. She had such high hopes and dreams for her future. Sadly her beautiful life was taken at the young age of 21.
Jenni, we love you and miss you terribly. You are on our minds every day. You made a difference in our lives and we will never forget you!

Sweet Baby Boy - You are perfect! You are beautiful! You were stolen from us without warning. You meant so much to so many, especially to your Mommy, Amanda. I miss you so much and I am so greatful that I was able to be there to see you and hold you, if only for a moment. Thank you for fighting so hard Kiernan and sharing your beauty with me, your Grandmother. With love forever and always
Grandma Vopni

You were the love of my life.

My Hank, a self-employed welder who was damn-good at everything and anything, who could look at something and envision how to repair it, who ccould create with his hands from the vision inside him. You always had my admiration and adoration and love. You were the most beautiful person I have ever known, thanks for teaching me passion and love. I asked if you would wait for me on the other side, so until then, - I love you still. Always and forever. Alice

Lorna, I miss you so much that I really can't describe it. I should have watched a little closer, stayed at home to take care of you. Our time together was too short, to wait 20 yrs. to be together again only to have it disappear is almost unbearable. We were both finally happy at last. It just isn't fair. See Ya Soon, Brian

Died on the Doits in the Alps in Switzerland, in a mountaineering accident. His body never recovered. He was the most beautiful man that I have ever met and is deeply missed by his family and all his friends and climbing partners.

God took you back I don't know why, he did not even give us a chance to say goodbye. You took my soul with you when you died now my heart is so empty and full of pain. I wait for the day when we will meet again.

Your loving wife Jean and children Fiona and Marcus

Katherine was five years old when she was taken from us by a drunk driver. We will always miss her bright smiles and her laughter! We will always miss you!! Love, Mommy and Daddy

In Memory~ When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years. But start out with a galliant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same; feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways, reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in return will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the Sky!

Empty-handed we entered the world
Barefoot we leave it
Our coming, Our going
Two simple happenings
That got entangled

Mein Liebchen - I'm thankful for the short time we had together. I only wish we'd had more time.

Lou was beautiful. She was brave right up until the end. I love you always.

Beloved daughter of Anthony & Janis Hernandez of Helena, Montana. Lora had
just completed her freshman year of college at Mount Vernon Nazarene College
in Ohio. The car she was driving was struck head-on by a van whose driver
had fallen asleep at the wheel. Lora was a devout Christian who ministered
in song throughout the last 4 years of her all-too-short life. She had a
deep love for children, exemplified in her work during missions trips, and
in her college pursuit to become a kindergarten teacher. She touched all
with the unconditional love of Jesus and is remembered warmly by people of
all social and religious strata for this trait. Lora is survived by her
parents, siblings (sister Crystal and half-brother Brandon), grandparents
Tony & Lupe Hernandez and Lee & Myrt Rake, and a multitude of aunts, uncles,
cousins, and friends across the US.

Madrecita linda gracias por todo tu amor, gracias por haber sido tan especial conmigo, te llevaré por siempre en mi corazon y vivirás en el corazon de todos los que amamos.Descansa en paz junto a DIOS y la VIRGEN MARIA.

Let us take a moment of our time just to pay tribute/show appreciation to the
person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's
no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may
not be the best of friends or may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your
mother! She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your bragging,
your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself...
Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working
in the kitchen, and her tiredness? Be tactful, loving, and still show her due
respect though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond
memories of the past and regrets will be left.

cradle...may rock the world."

I lost my mom a month and half before before my wedding not long before I turned thirty. The poem below was brought to us by a family member who had lost her son.
It was read during her services.

“Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away
into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed,
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because IÂ’m out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.”

Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918)
Canon of St. PaulÂ’s Cathedral
London, England

When God took you away, I didn't understand why one so young could be taken. But as time has gone by and I have grown in my spiritual path, I have come to understand that your life lessons were done and that you were ready to continue your lessons in the hereafter. I miss your physical body but I know your spiritual light is still with me. I love you and pray you grow closer to the light everyday. Love Mom

Lilly is what we called her for short. The day I found out i was pregnant, I didn't know then how much she we would mean to me. I was taking birth control and still got pregnant with her. At the time to me she was unplanned, little did I know she would be part of a bigger plan. As time started passing a bond started to grow between me and her. The night before my five month ultrasound me and her dad were looking at baby names, and he was looking at girl names for his instincts said she would be a girl, also she would be his first daughter. I already had a daughter from previos marriage and a son, so she would be a blessing to me either gender. He found her name Analise. The next day I had my appointment. They checked her measurements and she was growing right on schedule, and they told me the news, it's a girl, after that they also gave me the news she had an abnormal heart. Although she was to small to know exactly what was going on. The doctor asked me if I found out the problem was unfixable would I have an abortion and I said no, I loved her and what life I could give her I would. I gave her daddy the news what he already knew, we were having a girl. He had a smile from ear to ear. I then started to cry for the news of her heart condition was following. His excitement of his first born daughter overpowered the negative and he told me not to worry. The next morning as I was laying down and we were looking for names I prayed to god for a name with meaning and the name Liliana came to me. So then we decided to name her Liliana Analise and call her lilly for short. The next couple months were hard I had to go to Seattle to see a specialist, and there they told me it was tetrology of felot, and that is was fixable depending on how serious it was by the time she was born, they told me they would have to take her into surgery right away, I cried the thought of them taking her away so soon after she would be born. The news hurt her dad also. I had to go to appointments with my regular ob doctor. I had to get nst done once a week and then they moved it to twice a week. Lilly would make them laugh she would kick the nurses and when I would get my ultrasounds she would kick also. I had to drink cold apple juice, to bribe her to get moving around. During all this time it was very emoitonal for me, my family wasn't happy with me about being pregnant and about seven months prgnant her dad also left us without a word. That's when my family seen me very emotional and hurt so they started to get close to me and lilly was like a member of the family even though she wasn't born yet. My nieces ranging from the ages 1-5 years old would call her Willy and Williana becasue they couldn't say her name. Then one day my dad started calling her Willy Billy and so all the little girls also picked up the name. Everyone developed a bond with her and would make sure I had what I needed when they could help. Also My ex husband was there to help me get through this hard time. The doctors had a plan to deliver early in seattle they wanted to make sure I had her there so they could do everything they could do for her. a little more time passed and lilly had edema and her heart wasn't working well they said the edema was due to heart failure and there would be nothing they could do for her so they weren't gonna take her out early, and because they werem't gonna take her out early they said she would be born stillborn. So they were hust gonna let me have her in my hometown and not deliver in seattle. The docotors would look at me waiting for me to cry, in front of them I wouldn't and times alone I wouldn't. I felt that I wanted to be joyous and happy and not cry and mourn for she was very much alive and still growing in me. They did comment they didn't know how she was growing becasue her heart wasn't working right and without propper circulation her growth should have been stunted, but she was the right size. I even started to get bad edema I was putting about 20 plus pounds a week on and I was told it might have been I was having heart failure also. My feet and legs were the swollen parts and around my stomach, My family called me the nutty professor. My dad would tell me when my water broke it was going to be a tsunami. Well at thirty six weeks my water broke. i was asleep and I felt a little trickle come out. I woke up right away I actually thought I wet my self. I sat up and a little more was coming out, and I felt bad because I thought I was wetting myself and I couldn't control it. I stood up and it was just running down my leg and then I figured it was my bag of waters, I went to the bathromm and it was still running out, I called my doctor and she made a decision right there and told me It looks like we better get you to Seattle. So I was on my way, it was quite the journey, I went to the hospital in the town I live in and there the nurse checked to see if I was dialated and when she did that a big gush of fluid came out it scared her and she let out a sound whoa!!, I laughed from what my dad said. While we were waiting a doctor cam in and suggested we pray he said he seen God work Miracles, then a jet tried to lad in my town but couldn't so we had to go by ambulance to another town and get on the jet from there. It was a leer jet, it was my very first time flying, and when we got to Seattle roads were closed so we had a hard time getting to the hospital. We finally got there and there I was awaiting her arrival. I was going to have her normal, but she wouldn't come down so they were gonna do a c-section, a doctor came in and asked if I wanted to let her go peacefully or if I wanted them to do everything they could. I was told she would only live a couple hours at that and I would be putting her through pain. I decided to have them do eevryhting they could. They took her out and my little lilly didn't cry. They took her to work on her and I was still in surgery, I was there longer for there was internal bleeding in me, during that time the doctor came and told me her lungs didn't develop and if I wanted to let her go peacfully I still said I wanted them to do everything they could. I came out of surgery and they took me to my room and my dad and sister brought my two kids up to see me, they drove three hours. The docotr came in and told me the same thing again that she would only live a couple hours. I cried to my dad and didn't know what to do.. My dad told me believe in a miracle so I kept her on the vetilator. I wen to go see her shortly after and I called her Lilly Bear, that is what I always called her and I was always talking to her while she was in my stomach, and she opened her little eyes and looked at me. then she closed them. My two other kids got to see her also. I was the only one who saw her open her eyes. throught out that time the docotr kept coming to me and telling me I should let her go, I couldn't though. My best friend also came and she stayed the night with me. She brought me some flowers and she was telling me there were two other boquets she almost bought but they didn't seem right, and when she seen the one she bought me she knew it was the right one. They were peach roses with three white lillies. you couldn't smell them alo though, they were beautiful. The next day I got to see her more, and when I went to go see her one time I poured my heart out crying to God for a miracle and also prayed and dedicated her to the Lord. A chaplin was also behind me praying at the time, we had asked for a bible earier and he brought it personally and prayed for me and Lilly. I went back to my room and a different doctor came to my room to talk to me and console me, while she was talking to me, nurses cam running to my room and said Lilly was coding her heart was stopping and they wheeled me over to the NICU, and her heart stopped, She passed to be with the Angels. I think I was in shock and they all finally seen me cry, my heart was broken, they wheeled me back to my room carrying her and when we got back into the room you could smell the sweet fragrance of the lillies real strong, and my dad used to tell me, in the prescence of the Lord there was a sweet fragrance, so I knew she was with him. She passed at 8:oo in the evening. She was a miracle, for they said I would never meet her, and she grew just right no deformalities and she lived for a day and a half when I was told she would only live for a couple hours. She was a symbol of Love she brought unity with my family and me and also my ex husband. My daughter made a book in memory of Liliana and she wrote Lilly you were the answers for our problems. My father was so affected by it he cired that night to my mom and together they cried for her. I vist her often and put fresh flowers and wait upon the day when I will get to see her again. I haven't put a stone yet, I have quite a ways to pay on it, but I know in time it will be there, with Gods help. At times it hurts so much I don't understand and wish she was here with me. I Love her so much, I miss you my lilly bear!!!!

Gussie was the most loving person I knew. She never said a bad word about anyone. She saw people through the eyes of God and she knew Jesus as her Savior. I knew of times I would take her for a ride and she would remark how God could make so many different colors of green. She was a remarkable woman who the Lord chose to put on this earth for 103 years to enjoy and I know she is missed by everyone who knew her.

My older brother Frank passed away from Colon Cancer nine years ago. I love him and miss him very much and would like to dedicate this poem in his honor.

Frank, this is for you:

There is always a face before me.
A voice I would love to hear.
A smile I will always remember
Of a brother I loved so dear.

Deep in my heart lies a picture
More precious than silver or gold
It's a picture of my Brother
Whose memory will never grow old.

I Love You Big Brother

My Dad, my friend, my greatest teacher; It is not the same here without you. The days, months and years may pass, but I can still see you, feel the comfort of your hand as I placed mine in it as a child. I am still that child Daddy, your child; the little carbon copy of you, as Mom used to say. My only comfort is knowing I will be with you again someday. Until then I am trying to live my life as you would have wanted, with compassion, patience, honesty, and love for my family. I love you Daddy, Your youngest daughter, Naomi.

Dad, I would like to say how we all miss you very much we know that you are watching over us everyday you are the brightest star in the sky I look in the sky everyday and say I love you. there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you . I wish you could be here to see you granddaughter grow up she is so much like me it is scarey she is so funny but you probably know that she looks in the sky and points out the brightest star and says that that is here grandpa Herzberg we love you and miss you so much love us

In memory of my Dad-AGH was a refugee from Germany. He came to the US in the early 40's, was drafted in the US Army and sent back to Germany to serve in US military intelligence where he interrogated many Nazi prisoners including Hermann Goering. AGH had been a judge in Germany. When the war was over, he chose instead to study for a doctorate in musicology, and he had his own Renaissance music troupe. He then however went into criminology in 1958 when he began working for the United Nations. Later, he worked at the National Council for Crime and Delinquency and was a professor at SUNY Brockport, Brockport, NY. My Dad wrote numerous book on the history of juvenile delinquency. He also spoke several languages. He will be missed.

When I first learned of Andy's passing I was profoundly shocked. I had always felt that he was healthier than me; he was a star soccer player and a natural athelete and I've been overweight and out of shape my entire life. Needless to say, time, aging and lifelong issues with asthma eventually turned deadly.

As we had grown apart since our college days, I wrote to a few of my chums and we've been keeping in touch since then. Still, I miss not having the chance to reconnect with Andy...

We all miss you, bud... hope you're sharing a Liebfraumilch with John Lennon right now...

This is a memorial for my Granny and Granddaddy. Though they passed so long ago, they are still within our minds and our hearts. They were the best grandparents a kid could ask for and they were my world growing up. I looked forward to visiting them every summer and I was always sad when I had to leave. It's been almost 13 years since I've been inside their house, but the memories I have of the times I spent there will last me a lifetime. They are so firmly chisled in my mind it's like they are right here with me. I miss them greatly and I know I'll see them again one day. Until that time comes, I miss you both and I love you so much! I hope that you are both healthy and happy wherever you are! God rest your souls!

Dad, Even though I only knew you for a short six years of my life, you are still so very special to me and the times I do remember I keep treasured and close to my heart always. You will be forever cherished in my heart & soul. Love, Anne

Dad

It has been well over 11 years since you left us all of a sudden and with no explaination as to why you left. I was very heart broken when I found out from mom and I really miss you alot and would really like to have you back in my life. But I know that cannot happen. But knowing that I had you in my life for 27 years will be something I can really cherish and hang onto. I wished that you could see my kids now. You would really LOVE them. I tell them about you alot so that way they will know they had a Grand Dad. I have showed pictures of you to them so that way they know what you looked like as my DAD. The best thing that I have is that you were my dad you helped me get thrrough alot of the tough times. That is something Iwill always remember and cherish. I will see you again some day Dad.

Mom, You and dad will be forever cherished, deep in my heart for an eternity. You were the strongest, courageous and most wonderful woman I have ever known. I'm so thankful that you were my mom! Watching you go through all the health problems you went through while you were here was unbearable. I only wish you didn't have to endure so much pain and I just wish I could have taken it all away for you. You showed so much strength through it all. You were a woman full of life, love, pride & joy and did things your way! I will never forget what a treasure you were to me and to the people around you. I'll never forget all you taught me and did for me the last 29 years of my life. Mom, you are...."The Wind Beneath my Wings" Love you! Anne

Dear Mom, Please be happy, Watch over Sonja and me Know that I love you Feel that I'm missing you Miranda

Nicolas Kyle Lausch
This is to my second lil brother Nick, Who passed in a car accident this weekend. We got used to seeing you ever day whether it was helping my dad with yard work or building things to mowing the lawn which you loved to do. Whether it was coming up to the house playing football, talking around the fire outside or watching movies and pitching in for Pizza. We all knew you for a very long time and we have come accustomed to you showing up at the house everyday just to say hi. Since you were five you came to the house back and forth up and down the street to see us. We all became your second family. Whether it was taking you somewhere with us there was always room for you to go along.
Nick we will never forget you. This lil blonde haired kid who would walk down the street everyday making a fake fire siren sound as you strolled down the street. Whether it was to come down to sled with your best friend Kevin down the back yard hill or go to the park to sled. Whether it was to spend holidays with us. Nick, You left a empty spot in our hearts, a space of our hearts that aren't going to be the same. Just on that fact that we seen you everyday. When I would go up to my moms you would always be on your way to visit with us.Nick You were my second lil brother and I cannot forget you and Kevin Following me around the house.. I cannot forget playing with the both of you. That even at a young age you would do what you did to help my dad with building stuff. Nick you were at hard worker and had alot going for you. All for that to be taken from us with this accident. I find myself angry at Candace for taken your life and her survival. Cause she knew she couldn't drive and would race around. I didn't know of this girl. However I wish you would've asked us to take you somewhere cause you always knew we would.That same night as we were coming back to the house from going some where I didn't realize I would be yelling Nick and waving at you for the last time. You loved the kids and worried alot about Kevin. You were never a selfish person you would give anyone the shirt off your back nor help them..

I will never forget that you were a die hard Philadelphia Eagles Fan As I watched the News Sunday Night I saw that the Eagles had won. I knew you would've loved that. Your involvement with the Fire Company a month away from being a Junior Firefighter to being a regular fire fighter. That night I thought you would be on your way hearing the fire sirens .. Nick is on his way to the call.. Not realizing you were the call. It hurts that something so careless has taken away the best person that I could've ever known. We all loved you so much and words alone can never have expressed that. You left your family and ours with a broken heart, but many fond memories. That is what bothers me most Nick that later when there are cook outs, Gatherings, holidays,and just weekends watching movies and pitching in for Pizzas, your not going to be there. We all were blessed to know you, to love you, and to have you a big part of our lives. You were a big part of the family wheter it was going to Texas to see Barry Jr at the AF Base or going to Pittsburgh with our family to see Marie Rich and Pam. Maggie and Jerry are broken hearted both were crying when I told them the news. It just bothers me that someone with such potential with such a big heart is gone. I wish I could bring you back, cause this emptyness hurts. You might not have been blood ,but it was close enough. Thank God that you were apart of our family that we were blessed to know you.It is going to be strange without you around Nick ... I wanted to write this so others know about you, and the type of person you were. Someone who had two families who loved him. We are all taken it really hard. If I have to remember you it is always going to be warm feelings and good times. Those non of us never expected to end. God has you for a reason that I am not Questioning ,but you are watching us from above with Bruno taking care of him till we all reunite. We love you Nick and will never forget you.

Even though you are gone..it's still not over for so many of us who miss you terribly...your daughters, your wife and your friends. Your memory lingers on and our love for you is as strong as ever. Thank you for being a great father and for passing on a stong heritage to be proud of.

Dad, you fought so hard to hold on to life YOU ARE MY HERO
