We will never see each other in this life again. I will miss you for the rest of my life, my best friend and dear sister.

Love you for ever,
Cristel

You shocked friends and family when you took your own life. We loved you, but you did not love yourself enough to want to stay around. There were no words to express the sorrow you created then, still the words are difficult to write. We pray others learn a lesson from your suicide!

Dear sweet peppi you were my soul mate and my joy of living was in being with you, we done so much in the four wonderful years we had together, I thought we had forever but I was wrong everyone says that I should let you go, but how can i, you are everything to me then now and forever I will love you eternally. your forever love wilma.

In Loving Memory of my beautiful dearly beloved Mum who was a Mum in a million, always there for me when I needed her.
She was a very special person and will remain in my heart for evermore.
Rest in Peace beloved.
Your Loving Daughter Anne xx

In Loving Memory of my dearly beloved Dad who died very suddenly from Cancer of the Pancreas.
I had a Dad in a million, a very kind and loving Dad who was always very willing to help other people.
Sadly missed each day.
Rest in Peace beloved.
Your Loving Daughter Anne xx

A father, friend and doctor loved by many and missed by all.

My sweet David. You were my first love---you taught me so much. If only you could have loved yourself enough to stay with us. Manic depression is a cruel disease and you felt like suicide was your only option. Family and friends will miss you---we loved you deeply. Peace, Love, & Compassion...

my dearest father

I realise now how lucky I was
to be your daughter
and how truly loved.
You gave me so many skills
and insights, through your quiet and wise
presence; and I felt we could always speak the truth together. I love you for that. And for many things. I hope now you are free from worry... I imagine you at Peace and often think of you Dad, with so much love and gratitude. I didn't understand before, who you really were....but I see more clearly now what a lovely man you were and are still, in my heart. Thankyou. Stay with us all. I love you.

It's spring again Dad, and the bulbs are starting to come up, purple irises are coming ... I planted lots of primulas in the back this year, and the lawn looks beautiful.... you would approve. I miss you often, sometimes so poignantly, I miss your living love. Salute, Father on the other side of death. I remember you with so much love . I love you dad. caris

Died in a train accident. Sadly missed by us all.Rest in peace Laura Lou. I love you.

My dearest brother Brian. I hope that you have found the peace now that you never found while you were here on earth. More then anything, I hope that you know that I forgave you a long time ago, even if you couldnt face yourself then, and I just hope that you really knew it somewhere in yourself before you passed away, that my forgiveness was there, and that only love remains for you. I tried to show you that, I just hope you truly knew it. And I hope you forgave yourself. I am sure the tribute page I made must have been a surprise to so many, but I don't know how to make them understand, and I made it out of love. I love you Brian, I just hope you really really knew that.

This memorial is for my father, MSGT James H. MacDougal, who died in Vietnam when I was only 2 years old. Left behind was our mother, and all 9 of us kids. Sadly the only memory I have of my father, which isnt actually of him, is the day of his funeral. I knew everyone was going to see him but I couldn't go, and I didnt understand why. A few years later it made sense. It was Thanksgiving, and I got upset and started crying, left the table and buried my head in my pillow. My mom comes in to see whats wrong with me. I tell her, daddy isnt ever coming back is he? I am almost 31 now with 3 kids of my own, and I wish that not only me, but that they, had the chance to really know him. The void and emptiness will always be there. It never goes away. I love you Dad!!!

He will be mised by all.

This memorial is dedicated to you from the Mack family, specifically Deanna. We think of you everyday, and we will always love you and keep you in our hearts. You will never be forgotten... I can't wait for the day that we can be together. Love Always, Deanna

Daddy I miss u so much the sky hasn't been so pretty since you been up in heaven I will always love you your daughter Keisha

Aunt Jeannie, I miss you sooo very much. I hope that you are watching over me everyday. I will never forget you, and I keep your spirit alive in my heart. Love ya, and miss ya, Tanika

Greatly loved and admired.

Dr. Mackaness spent most of a busy life in Oxford, but travelled much in four continents. He is now happily exploring the boundless wonders of billions of galaxies in the limitless time and space of God's glorious univers.

Meanwhile, his bones lie quietly at Ribbesford Churchyard by the River Severn near Blackstone Rock, 2 miles from his birthplace, awaiting the Resurrection.

Love you always and miss you till we meet again - soon...
Thanks for everything.

Dearest Brother. Passed away after 8 months illness. Sadly missed by family and friends.

In Loving Memory of a much loved wife, mum, granny, great-granny and mother-in-law, HELEN. Death is nothing at all - I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better, infinitely happier and for ever - we will all be one together with Christ. So dearly loved, so sorely missed from your loving husband John and all your family

Beloved Father of Wendy, Sharon, Gary and Geoffrey. Sadly Missed.

I miss you soooo much. You were the best friend anyone could have. But as you loved to say: "Nothing lasts forever". I'll see your angel eyes again in heaven. I love you... I'm so sorry I didn't get to say it before, so now I'll tell you: "Farewell". I love you Galadriel... Roza-Ly 0:)

Spencer, you were so incredibly special and wonderful, not only to me but to allot of different people. You played such a big role in my life and I learnt tremendously from you. Your death came as a huge shock, I was heartbroken and distraught. I was at your funeral, I could not stop the streams of tears, I could not bare the thought of you being taken away forever. I am so glad that I spoke to you shortly before I got the bad news. I know now that God knows best, he needed you more and I am positive that your passion for life and your uncountable talents are very useful in heaven. My thoughts are with your parents and my heart goes out to them. Your mom told me once that she hangs on to life for the very reason of being with you again one day. I dream of you often, of the Spencer I use to know. You were my first love, dearest Spencer..............Your memory will always live through the lives of those that you touched with your special ways. You made your mark in my heart forever. Love Always Nientjies

The family hasn't been the same since you left. And it breaks my heart that you were alone at the end. It wasn't a very good ending for someone who meant so much to so many, and someone who affected the lives of so many others. There was so much left unsaid. I love you and I still miss you very much.

I see you everywhere. Sometimes I wish we had'nt gotten so close at the end...it would have been a lot less painful. Remember how we used to joke about how the two of us together couldn't make one healthy person -- well, think of me now. I know now that you have seen the truth but don't count them all out, anything is possible. Found another book you could have added to your "conversations" subject. Ha, ha, why would you care now, you know how it works. I'm sorry the end was so difficult for you, you deserved better. And you were a brat until the end, too. I miss you and I love you. How my heart aches for you.

Dearest Mother - taken so suddenly, we love and miss you so much, you were such an inspiration to everyone, you were so brave - may the angels take you to paradise and may you have eternal peace

My precious momma, I miss you so very much. I wish you were here with me again. I'm so naked to the pain of loosing you. I feel so lost without you. I know you are no longer suffering from cancer but missing you alone is killing me. It tears me apart to know that one minute you were doing fine, laughing and joking around and then all of a sudden, cancer took all that away from you in such a short time. I miss you my precious angel and I love you so very much. I can't wait till the day God brings us together again. Until then, I'll always hold you close to my heart.....I love you Momma! Love always, Lucia

She is someone I will always remeber and look up to even if she is gone. She was a big sister to me and I wil always remeber her.

Easy!

She was one of the most Important people in the world. Everyone misses her. Love you cousin.

Niki passed away on November 28, 2006 after a 5 year battle with cancer. She was known for her bright smile, her nickname "sunshine," and her sweet and caring personality.

She was my grandmother. Although some people might say that I didn't care about her, I actually loved her very much. I will always miss her and miss talking to her about what things were like in the old days. She was the typical grand- mother. Always worrying about her family and constantly trying to feed everyone. I will miss her a lot.

My dearest Sister

I think of you all the time and can't get over the loss of losing you. Everytime I picture you, you have that beautiful smile that we always remember you by.

I know you are in a better place now as the world was too harsh for such a gentle passive person like you. I'm glad the short time you had here was postive and that you never experienced any real physical, emotional or sexual abuse. You never attracted those type of people.

My memory of you is and will always stay fresh in my mind, it's like you really haven't gone, just gone on another holiday for awhile.

Love you forever and ever your Sister Brenda

Tom fought a brave battle with cancer but left us at a young age. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Mady would like the memory of Tom to be of how he "lived", and of the many friendships he had.
Jack S.

Born, raised, died in Los Angeles, buried in the little village of Lugrin in Haute Savoie, France. A counselor at law by profession, he was a loving and beloved husband to Cherie, father to Erik Joseph and Jayson Gordon, and stepfather to Adam and Jason. Above all, a wise and gentle man who is very much missed.

My Grandfather was an extrordinary person. He was such a loving and carefree sort of guy. He was really into music, and played the calliope for the Afifi shrine. He played one of 8 running in the United States. My grandfather was loved by everyone. He always had something to say that would cheer you up. When he was in the room everyone would light up. There are so many memories that I have of my grandfather. When I found out that he would die soon, I cried. I have not been able to see a lot of him since he became sick. But I always knew that our love for eachother was still there. I love and miss my Grandfather very much. He will always be in my mind. I will always remember his thoughts on life. And always remember that he is watching over me, ans is always with me in my heart. I love you Grandpa. Love Always, Strawberry

My son, my bane, my best friend.

I miss you baby.

Leslie Mahaffy....1976-1991

Your senseless death moved Canada and the United States to tears..the only relief comes from the fact that justice has been served to your killers, but that still does not come close to filling the void you leave. You will never be forgotten Leslie, for all the lives you've touched including mine, thankyou, and may God rest your soul.

( to live in the hearts of those who loved you is to live forever)

So unfairly taken from me before you had a chance to see the world. I will always remember you. You are my sweet angel baby. May God rock you in his arms the way you know I would if I could. Good night my sweet Rylee. Mommy and daddy love you so much.

To my dear mum. (May) died 10th nov 2002
The day you left this earth is one I will never forget, we had no idea that you had so little time left with us, I only wish that I had known as then I could have got to say all the things I would have wanted you to know,..like, I love you so much mum and I now miss you so much. I hope you can hear me when I speak to you. I know that you are near me as I sometimes sense you close to me, that makes me happy.

I hope that now you are out of all your pain as you suffered so much! rest in peace mum. I love you.
all my love, your daughter mary. xxxx.

My mother was Rahtabi, a good woman who gave so much to the lives of those around her. Rahtabi Mahsyanng was born in Syria. she escaped to the States at the age of six where she later met my father, Louis Scourman. They did not stay together long, neither did they part well but my mother was always grateful to have me. And I was grateful to have her. My dear unselfish mother Rahtabi Mahsyanng died of bone cancer on the 26 of January which was my birthday. I miss you so dearly Mama. always and forever.

My dad...my friend....part of my heart went with you when you died...your health was failing...but how cruel it was that you had to experience the death of your first born child before you died. How sad for all of us...losing my brother & my dad within a few short months was almost unbearable!! I miss you just as much today as I did then!! It was sad to lose you the day before your birthday.. I hope you found Ron in heaven & you are resting peacefully together!! I loved you so very much!! Gail

Your death hit us like the impact of a freight train!! It changed all of our lives! I hope dad has found you & you are together up in heaven!! We knew if you left us that he would not be long in following you....his health deteriorated so quickly; I think he wanted to be with you. We miss you so much....one day the whole family will be together again..........until then...rest peacefully!! Cancer is an awful disease!!!

Love, Your sister, Gail

Such a shock to hear that it was cancer.......nobody in our family had cancer!! It matastesized quickly & in 6 months we lost you.....you were suffering.....I asked God to please take you...your suffering was so painful to watch! After you left us...I wanted you back!!! I still can't believe you are gone...my older brother......being a nurse & helping others made me feel good. I was not able to help my brother.......your death was such a shock to the family!! It changed so many things!! We all got a dose of reality....& truly knew the pain of losing someone we loved.....I hope & pray that there truly is a heaven & that you are there! You left us before your time....good bye....sleep well, my brother!!!! Love, Gail

A man who was loved and liked by so many.You could always make us laugh, Dad. I will never forget the overwhelming agony that seared through me as we watched you slowly slip away. You barely had a day's illness in your life, until the Saturday when you had a stroke, and the Sunday when you slipped away. Half of me will always be with you Daddy, I just wish I had a chance to say goodbye properly. I promise to try to look after Mum and J.J. as best I can, but it is so hard, you were the rock in our lives. Daddy, I always have and always will love you, I hope you will be able to see all the happy times to come. I am sorry for all the pain I caused. Please be with us. Thank you for everything you have ever done. R.I.P. God Bless, Ab xxx

This was written on April 28, 2000

Grandma,

I think about you everyday and I miss you even more.. Since you have been gone alot has happened. I had a beautiful baby boy.. I never got to tell you that I was carrying, because we thought if you were gonna get better that might kill you.. But I hope that you can see him and that you are watching over all of us.. Mom and I are really close now.. We spend alot of time together along with Bob, Blake and Chad.. Chad is my husband.. I finally found the right guy, Grandma.. I know you would have liked him, He is a great man. My Twin is doing great.. He is straightening his life out.. Sadly, It was your passing that I think got him to realize he was on the wrong road.. Bim is doing great although he will graduate a year later then he was supposed to but he is graduating..You would be very proud of those two.

Here is a poem I wrote shortly after we lost you..

Grandma

I miss the talks we always had
I miss your yelling at me when I was bad
I miss the way you held me when I cried
If only you hadn't died

You were my role model when I was little
Even now I want to be just like you
You always had so much courage
taking care of us and telling everyone not to worry
That you would be fine
Well What Happened?
You Died

The damned Diabetes tore you apart,
while our fucked up family broke you heart
You tried to hold us together and for a while you succeeded,
but now that your gone who will know what is needed?

I think about you all the time wondering if you are watching me, grandpa, ronnie and the rest of your beloved family

I wonder if you will keep us safe but how I would love to see your face

You weren't supposed to go
I still need you to much
I am having a baby and soon I will show
I couldn't tell you so your reaction I will never know
If its a girl I am naming her after you
If its a boy I will name it after Grandpa
It breaks my heart when I think that my baby wont see your smiling face or be held in your loving embrace

Grandma, I love you more than ever and now I realize you raised me to be just like you

No matter where you are will be always in here in my heart..

I love you Grandma
I miss you dearly

Your Loving Granddaughter,

Carlee

Moma, I miss you so much. No matter what the past has held, you were the greatest mother God could have given me. I miss your laugh, your teasing, the support you always gave me in anything I tried to do. I know that one day we will be together again and what a rejoicing that will be. You left me a legacy of love and for you being my mother, I am thankful. And yes I can see daddy holding your hand! There is a poem I want to share with you.It's called:

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
for part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

The last words you wanted said at your funeral have been a great comfort to me. When I miss you the most I go outside and if the wind isn't blowing I ask God to send me a little breeze and He has never failed me. Your words to everyone you loved were:
"I am not dead,
I am not asleep.
I am the WIND."
May the wind forever blow a gentle breeze to remind us of your love.
We love you moma,
Shelia, Shirley, Bob, Danny & Margaret

Daddy, it will soon be 8 years since you left us. I miss you so much. I know you are in a better place and someday daddy, I'll be with you again. You always knew when I needed you. You were always there to comfort and give me the love I needed. There is so much I want to say to you daddy, and I will when God calls me home, oh what a day that will be! I want to put my arms around you and hold you close, never to be separated again. I'll be able to tell you about Geoffrey, your greatgrandson you never got to meet. He knows who papaw Raymond is. You are sadly missed by all your family. We love you daddy. Shelia, Shirley, Margaret, Danny & Bob

I saw you last
Sitting on the hill,
And in my mind
I see you still,
Pink shirt, brown pants,
Comfy slippers on,
One final wave
Two days later...gone.

A tree grows now
Where I saw you last,
Sitting on the hill
As I drove past.

Still sadly missed after 20 years Dad
-- Your loving daughter, Pam

I will always love you, Mrs. Goldstone. Although you are no longer within my reach, I feel you inside my heart-never letting go. Until we meet again my beloved, sleep in peace.

~*~*~*~*This poem is dedicated to my hero, my son Mattias*~*~*~*~*~
A bond that can't be broken, A love that can't be touched, Words need not be spoken, Oh how I love you so much~~Heard your tiny heartbeat, beating nice and strong, felt the kicks of your tiny feet, now it won't be long~~Four months left, we're almost there, Oh I can't wait for the day, but all in my life has been unfair, I just never thought you'd be taken away.....~Kristie

I never thought that someone so tiny, could impact my life in such a strong way...You are with us always I Love You...

Lisa was a singer, a writer, a painter, and ran a day-care center. She was loved by many and will be sorely missed. Speed our purest love to her, always.

We lost our father on march 28,1998. He was a wonderful person. Loved by all who knew him.I am happy he did not suffer, but I really am in pain due to his death.I believe he is with our heavenly father who loved him so much, he took him home away from the lonliness,the evil and pain in this world.My dad was beautiful to look at and to be with.He was 79 1/2 and looked as tho he was in his early 60's. Please remember him in your prayers. He played music and invented several useful items for the fishermen. He loved to fish. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please say a prayer for healing for every one who has lost a loved one, because it is devastating. We will always love and miss you dad, but we will all be togeather soon. we love you. The children of Bennie D. Manni

This Memorial is for my loving brother Bennie Jr. who left us to be with our Lord on Nov.6, 1999. He left so sudden and unexpected. He was such a sweet, passive and gentle man all his life and then had a stroke that completely his personality, but he was still a sweetheart. He would always fix the back of my hair to be sure it looked nice. He was a fantastic bass guitar player. He always thought the pregnant womn was the most beautiful thing on earth. He had 3 children. I am sure he is in gheaven with oue Lord and our mom and dad and sisters. Eddie( that's what we called him) we miss you and love you so very much. I will be there when God is ready for me and I know you will be waiting for me. I love you and I miss you so much. Love Sis

Dearest Mother & Family,

I'm sure you were and you can bet we all felt your presence amongst us all. You are never far from any of us. We know you love us more than anything or anyone you were ever aware of on this earth. We never had a doubt. You were such a little flirty thing and so cute,,there just wasn't anyone that didn't just love you to pieces Mom. *giggle* An "A-1" cook and bottle washer we say!! A great sense of humour,,no one did it better Mah..Bless your heart.. Gino says you were about the warmest person he knew. He says he couldn't love you enough.. and actually ,,he'd love to love you more right now..so would I. We will though,,that's a given!! So Pam and Don..Sandy and Linda-Gwenn-Janet-Larry-Bug-Mamus-Sean-Kent and Shane-Nichol-Matt-My kids and alllll the others!!Too many to add in here we are such a huge clan!! Oh my!
You know all the kids think the world of you and will always remember you as a smellin goody type of a gal! Remember how Kris was always saying how much she loved your smell? That "Champagne" you always wore,,that lotion and all. Mmmmmm,,Mother,,you really did smell like an angel! Annie..You're niece in some say or other,,wanted to meet you and you'd have loved it! She had more family info for you and what you thought were no relatives! Wow! She's long winded in a good way and had loads of things she'd have loved to share with you! You'd have talked for hours! Bug says nothing is the same without you and she just misses you to pieces! Of course you know that. We know you play Yahtzee with us and help us win!! hehe!! Sean, Art, Nichole and just EVERYONE says they miss your chicken and dumplings soooo much! Myself? I can't think of a fresh baked roll and think of how wonderful that smell was..oh my goodness Mom. Nothing smelled that good on a holiday with you in it. Gino says you saw how the garden turned out that ya's planted before we all ended up in Texas. Opps! Just weren't no way to handle that at the time. You understand,,we know that. So how do you like my first Grandbaby Mom? Isn't he just gorgeous? Kiss him one time Mother. He'll have it on him forever and a day. Have you seen Dad? I think you must have by now!! Lord knowsssss Dad was the FIRST one you went lookin for! We alllll know that! How's Vickie, Eddie, Dad and all the rest ,Aunts and Uncles and everybody doing? Is it as wonderful as you always swore it would be? Just as happy and peaceful as you told us it was? We all want to think so,,so we'll just easily choose to trust you as we aslways did when we finally matured enough to know you knew more. haha,,that's a hard pill for a young person to swallow! But we all learn it,don't we? You are a strong strong lil' woman Mama...and we're all proud of you and what you were able to endure as a woman, a Mother, wife, daughter, friend and Grandmother. You raised some pretty nice people in spite of our mistakes. To you..we'll always be children. And that feels very good Mom. We love being your "kids" too. Your memory makes us smile and cry all at one time. You are with us..we know. We feel it and love that warmth you still have on our hearts Mother. Untill we talk again. This is sending you so much love and thoughts. We hug you really really tight. And we'll talk again soon. There just isn't enough room for every thing at once! God blessing you and us and all over the world. Watch over us Mom..biggest squeezes to you! MUAH MUAH!! KISSES KISSES!!

Bet you're having a great time with Mom and Dad and Eddie and Don..having a beer or two,and kickin back maybe workin a puzzle? We sure do miss you kiddo. You know of course that your lil' guy is sick again. I think the Lord must have sent you on ahead to catch the lil' man. I don't know that for a fact. But sinse he didn't want to have anything done without you before, my guess is. Yeah,,you got it! Anyhow, Christmas was a little tough this year without all of ya's. Miss you so much girl. You was such a nut case! Could make a stump laugh! Was a wonderful Grammaw. Your Grandkids just adore you. Your children miss you very much. We all do. Miss that irreplaceable humour.Like no one else has in the world. We all hope we did what you'd have wanted us to do. Hard to decide things at a time like that. Did we do ok Sis? I hope to God it's all good now. The short trip here isn't much compared to eternity there, is it? Heck no! But someday,,we'll all party on down together. I envy you partying and listening to all that great music and singing thats going on. Must be a real blast! You left so sudden that it shocked us all. But I love recalling the night before when you called and we talked about this and that and not much of anything so important as just "being in contact". That's been our way all our lives..Never lost touch. What a great feeling it is to remember so many things. So many pictures of you make it even easier to recall some even silly times. Things we did when we were young..omg! Shhhhhh,,don't spill the beans now kid! Pammy misses you something dreadful. So talk to her sometime,,heck,,talk to us all! We'd love hearing from you once in awhile. We know it's long distance and all..but it's freeeeeeeee!! So don't be wastin no time with the dial pad. Untill we chat again there sexpot..we all miss you dearly and love you more than you could ever imagine. We'll see you all soon. Isn't it like the "blink of an eye"? Sure it is,and in no time at all..we'll be talking about everythingggggg once again. God is blessing us with this chance to tell you how we feel thru a person we don't even know,,the person that set up this site,,must be wonderful and so good hearted..we thank that person. Whomever he/she is. Hugs and loads of kisses and all the love in the world! Untill next time Sis..everyone says good night..love from us all with all our hearts. Karen and Gino and the clan..xo

On April 28, 2001 at approximately 2:00am Tony Manzella's life ended. He was stabbed numerous times and then after he had already collapsed onto the ground in his yard he was ran over. The people responsible for this are at this time still not in jail, even though the police know who they are. Tony was simply trying to get these people to leave his residence so his wife could go pick up their 15 month old daughter from the baby sitter's house. During their refusal to leave his property a fight ensued and Tony was stabbed in his chest and abdomen several times and then after falling to the ground he was ran over, with the people then leaving.....although they returned a short time later and was prevented from leaving a second time by bystanders. We can only hope that justice will be served and that Tony's killers will have to pay for what they did.
Until then all we can do is hope and pray and always remember Tony.

A nice old man, he collected coins, and got me started on a collection. He lived next to my parents' house, and could always be found with Virginia, his wife, sitting on the back porch. I gave up coin collecting myself just before his untimely death, but think about him often whenever I find myself spending money somewhere and someplace.

My beloved Mother, best friend. I will miss you and love you till the end of my days when we will meet again. You were and are the best.

After a short illness, Helen Margaretich, age 84, died Friday, August 27, 2004 in Hemet, CA. Funeral service and burial were held September 3 at Bellevue Memorial Park in nearby Ontario. Helen Evelyn was born to John W. Coffee and Dorothy Elta (McCormick) on January 20, 1920 near Roswell, NM. She fell in love with Joe Sillivent shortly before World War II and followed her new husband to Holyoke, MA where he was stationed in the Air Force at Westover Field. Her beloved brother John soon joined them there and the three shared many laughs. They later moved to and stayed in southern California. Helen had a wicked sense of humor and encouraged her nieces to live life to its fullest. She was the aunt who remembered everyone's birthdays and attended all our graduations, weddings and reunions. Helen was passionate about the Dodgers, Elvis
Presley, all shades of purple, and her many collections. In her later years she enjoyed taking care of young children at her Lakewood home—many of whom kept contact with their favorite babysitter. Helen is predeceased by her parents; brothers Laurence and John; sisters Audrey Willhelm and Elisabeth Ruminson; and her second husband John S. Margaretich. She leaves behind her devoted companion Joe Sillivent; seven nieces; three nephews; and their children who will not soon forget their Great-Aunt Helen.

I love you mom, and miss you so,until we meet up, keep a close eye on your granddaughter, and wrap your arms around her.

To Maria Kessels Bordyan.

Everything that is born ones, will dy in one moment,
So often you did experience what letting go did mean,
You said then again and again:
"Tomorow, yes tomorow is a new day agian"
Anyhow, you went away from, to sudden, to soon.

What I do miss now the utmost is,
* Your couriage,
* Your involvement,
* Your humor and your typical stubborn own laugh.

Thanks dear Mom. You will always be my mother.

Alles wat geboren wordt, sterft eens,
En al te vaak ervoer jij wat loslaten was.
Je zei dan steevast:
"Morgen, morgen is er weer een dag".
Niettemin ging je van ons weg zo onverwacht.

Ik mis nu het meest:
* jouw moed,
* jouw betrokkenheid,
* jouw humor en ook totale eigen wijze lach.

Dankjewel Ma, Jij blijft altijd mijn moeder

Ted

Gemma was a loving mother and wife. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Beloved mother of Louise, Tommy, Pam, Sandra, Geraldine, Bobby and Scott. Beloved grandmother of Kim, Tommy, Michelle Carley, Jimmy and great grandbaby Koukoulis

Marisha Kay Meier passed away at her home early Tuesday morning January 7, 1997 after a two and 1/2 year battle with cancer. Her usual occupation at the time of her death was being a big girl and a girl with great courage and a love for life and living. Even though in great pain she managed to go to preschool until it was just to difficult for her to get out. She was a source of inspritiation and joy to all those that she came to know. Although her passing has left those of us that loved her with a void we are sure as Marisha always said "it's okay to die, everybody does and you just go to heaven and get fixed".

JP was one of my best friends and a close pal to my daughter. He died of a heroin overdose almost 3 months ago. I love him and miss him dearly. I will always love you JP.

For my dear nan-nan, Alice Florence Markey Born 1923 in London, England Died 1988 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. Memories Deep are the memories, precious they will stay No passing of time can take them away So many things have happened since you went away So many things to share with you Had you been meant to stay Every night i think of you in God's great garden above and hope that when we meet again you'll show me the way.

A grocer for many years, and also a really down-to-earth individual. In summer months, I'd go to his store to buy a popsicle, and he'd pull the coldest one out of the freezer and put it on the back of my neck, and damn, was that ever cold!! Rest in peace now, Bob.

Alles waar je echt van houdt
zal warmte blijven geven
ook al is het niet gebleven
het blijft een deel van jou
een stukje van je leven

ter nagedachtenis van mijn broer

Waar je ook bent
ik zou het niet weten
niet in tijd
of afstand te meten
ik heb je bij me
diep in mij
daarom ben je
altijd zo dichtbij

ter nagedachtenis aan mijn vader

Als een vlinder naar het licht
Ben je ons vooruit gevlogen
Onbereikbaar ver
En toch zo heel nabij

Je blijft altijd in onze harten lieve schat.
Mamma,moes,Talisa,Nicolaj en Debby

Het was een weg die je alleen moest gaan
Wij konden je op dat pad niet vergezellen
je diepste angsten kon je niet vertellen
en je moest verder tot het lot je stil deed staan

Onze lieve jongste dochter Yentl kon het leven niet meer aan.Ze blijft altijd in ons hart.

Het leven gaat voorbij
Maar je leeft door in mij
In alles wat je hebt gegeven
Wat je leerde in dit leven
De mooie dingen die je zei
Lieve schat
Hier in mijn hart
Hou ik een kamer voor je vrij
Voor altijd

He was a very good friend of mine. I will always remember Lance. I walked home from school with him for the last time.

Johnny Be Goode

Oh, Nana, what a void you have left in my life. You understood me better than anyone and you were so proud of me in life. I miss you so much that words seem inappropriate. I am trying my best to look after Gramps in your honour. Your family meant more than life to you and I will try and keep the family in the loving tradition that you strove so hard to achieve. I love you so much and I always will. See you in heaven Nana as I am sure you will be one of God,s special angels. Love always, Maria

Scotty- We didn't know that morning He was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us wonderful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.

Beloved son, brother, grandson, greatgrandson, and friend we feel you left us to soon, way to soon! We miss you so much.

I love you Grandad and i miss you and think about you everyday.

My mum and dad miss you lots aswell.

I hope you are are ok and with Grandma Audrey and Rocky :)

I will never EVER forget you and i hope you are watching over me.

Hope we will see each other again someday.

I love you sooooo much

Natalie xxxxx

My Dear wonderful husband, I can hardley wait to be with you again. You were such a good person, always thinking of others, you gave your time so freely and you were always so nice to everyone. Only after you left me did I fully understand the depth of your love for me, I shall never wonder again.
Our Love was Like a Glowing Ember
It warmed us as the Cold Wind Blow
We Had Sunshine In December,
And Grew Our Roses In the Snow.

I Love You Babe,Forever@ Ever,
Your Wife,friend @ Partner

xoxoxoxo

Thank you spirit that I call Mom, for conceiving, birthing, and raising me. As I never had a chance to say good-bye, or thank you for all the great effort you put into raising me, this will have to suffice. Because you left me so early in my adult life, I never properly connected with you. These past 23 years I've continued to miss you, and many times daily I speak out loud "I love you Mom". But somehow I know you are nearby and hear and see me, even as I type this message. Know that you now have 3 grandchildren, and 4 greatgrandchildren. After a 10 year absence, Don has just reconnected with our family and his 20 year old son. Steve is a pilot (first officer) for Am. Airlines, and he and his wife Elaine have a boy 9 and a girl 7. Cindy and her husband Leroy have two boys, 9 and 4. I never had kids because of all the life support medicine the past 25 years. I left David a year after you died, and moved to CA 18 years ago. Know that I am a U.S. Forest Service Volunteer, mountain bike patrol. I am a prayer counselor, therapist and hold a Ministerial Degree from a new religious movement church. I take classes at the local State University, and after completing eight more classes I will earn my BA degree in Psychology and Relgious Studies. Mike and I have been happily together for 12.5 years. Dad, your husband will be 87 years old tomorrow, and he isn't taking any medicine. He still lovingly takes care of the home he built for our family, 48 years ago. Gerry D. looks after him like a saint. He worked till he was 78 years old. Ann had a Catholic marriage on 6-15-96 to Steve's wife's uncle, and now lives in NH. All is well here. As I pray for your soul, please pray for ours down here. Someday we will all be together again. Thank you for coming to me in my dreams. Know that I love you for eternity, and look forward to more lifetimes with you on Earth or elsewhere. Love always, your daughter from Earth on 9-18-1996. Joan.

Bobby Joe Marshall was my brother-in-law. We went to school together at Fairview High School in Camden, Arkansas. I married his older brother, Cary. Bobby was happily married to Patricia Ratcliff and has two wonderful children, Tiffany and Zach. He was working under the garage at home on Saturday, April 9, 1994, when he lost his balance and fell from a ladder, injuring his head. He stayed in a rehab center for months and was finally sent to a nursing home. He never spoke again, and was virtually a vegetable. Bobby was a wonderful person that we all miss. We can always ask why something like this happens to such a good person, but God always has a purpose and sometimes allows things to happen that we do not understand. Bobby left this world after almost three years of being an invalid at the age of 44 years. The nurses tell us he had a big smile on his face when he took his last breath. We believe he was seeing the angels in heaven! Bobby, from your family in Monticello, Arkansas, we love and miss you. Love, Cary, Deb, Ryan and Allison

My grandmother.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose. My dearest mother and friend will remain in my heart forever.

Daddy,
I always have and always will love you with all my heart. You were the greatest man I ever knew. You deprived yourself of so many things just to be sure I got all the things I needed. Only I can know the true meaning of the saying (Daddy's Lil Girl). Daddy, Corey and I are very close now. He really takes care of his little sister(me). He wanted so badly to get to know you Daddy and I know you wanted to know him to. We both love and miss you so much. Your memory will live on forever in my heart as well as Corey's. No one will ever take your place, you are our one and only Daddy. I am getting married in August of 2001 and I am so heartbroken that you will not be there to walk me down the isle. I know you will be there with me in spirit. We are going to have a memorial of you set up at the cermony and reception. I would do anything to have you back! I miss you so much, there are just no words to explain how I feel. I wish I could have changed what happened Daddy, but that was in God's hands. I know we will meet again Daddy, I can hardly wait until that day. You died a Hero Daddy, trying to save someone else's life. You will forever be a Hero to me. I love you!
Love Always
your daughter,
Ms. Carrie Martin

My mother in law ( Mrs Martin) I wish we could have spent more time together, but as it was I didnt drive back then so I wasnt able to visit with you very often, I remember when my last child was born you had been real sick , you were laying in the bed holding her and smiling so big, so proud of your granchildren and from that time on you got worse and by the time she turned a year old you were gone, but I will always remember the things you did for us before we got married, we had a lot of fun that day while we were out trying to get every thing straightened out for our apartment, and then on our wedding, now thats a time I will never forget, man you were something else I still laugh till this day about it, buts thats the good part I can laugh about the good times we had. I wish you were here with us today, to see what beautiful and wonderful children your son and I have, we are proud of them and I know you would have been also. loving and missing you, your daughter in law, Jean

Daddy: Your birthday and putting your father in the ground are two things that are never supposed to happen on the same day. But then again, you were not supposed to die and leave your fourteen year old daughter either. That fourteen year old is now a woman with a child of her own. A child that will never know you and for that reason, has suffered a terrible loss. I have not forgotten you and the pain of your death still courses through my veins and leaves a trail of emptiness behind. As the years go by, I remain the sobbing child that tossed you a rose before your coffin was lowered into the earth. As the years go by, my love for you never diminishes. As the years go by, I never allow you to fully die.

Beloved mother and grandmother, Betty Lou Pardue Martin was the pillar of faith and love in a family that continues to miss her terribly. Those who knew her and were touched by her love of Christ, her family, and people as a whole can certainly be counted among the blessed to have known her enough to miss her now. A person never truly dies until they are forgotten and it is more than safe to say that she will never truly die. Sadly missed by sons Rae and wife Nicole and Daryl and wife Kim. Grandchildren Tyler Whitney Bethany and Rachel

I miss you, Gramps, and will never forget all you taught me.

Tragedy has struck the Martin family yet again as the beloved son of Margret and David Martin passed away last night due to complications in surgery. Drew, only 18 years of age had gone through so much in the past year that would mark the end of his life. He survived a car accident that took away his ability to walk, but still he sojourned on .Drew was participating in a spinal stimulator surgery that could give him the ability to walk again when complications arose and he passed away.
Drew was someone that you couldn't help but love. An avid sports fan in his youth he helped coach soccer with young children even after his accident. Drew wrote poetry and songs and even began work on a novel in his spare time. He was a devoted son and brother to Alli and Alana Martin and will be missed.
We need to remember that even though Drew is gone there are so many ways to keep him alive. He wouldn't want anyone crying over him and we need to remember the final words that he told me before he left the hospital room that day... "Remember me...for I have lived!"

Eddie Martin died tragically in a car accident at the age 17, leaving everyone questioning why? Eddie was and always will be such a special person to so many. Living such an unfairly short life, he had the ability to touch so many people before he passed away. He was such a beautiful person inside and outside. Those bright blue eyes and that sarcastic smile are impossable to forget. Today, October 21, six months since the accident it is still unbearable to believe I'll never see or feel him again. The saddest thing is not that I'll never see him again but the world has lost the best person a lot of people ever met. I am so greatful for my time with him and I hope if he can't be here with all of us who love him, I pray he is in a better place. Eddie, We all miss you so much... I think of you everyday, everytime I listen to The Doors, The Beatles ( And I Love Her ), Metallica, and on, I feel you. You may not be here anymore but I dream about you and talk to you everyday babe. I hope wherever you are you're flashing that beautiful smile and above all you're at peace. As you said the night before the accident, you always wanted to know I'd be there, well I am. I'll never forget you or stop loving you. Stay well until I see you again. "This is the end beautiful friend," The Doors. I LOVE YOU xoxoxo Love, Your Medford Snob

Francis William Martin was my much beloved Grandfather. He worked for the Burgess Seed and Plant Company for over fifty years and was a pillar of community service. Galesburg, Michigan would not be the town it is today without his labors. Through his grandchildren, my Grandfather was able to travel the world and obtain several masters degrees, as the Great Depression forced him to forgoe his dream. Vaya con dios Abuelo con todo mi amor siempre. Michelle

To a man I never got the chance to meet(Harvey Martin) you were supposed to be my father in law but it never happened that way, because God called you home to be with him before we had the chance to meet.I regret not being able to have you in my life and the lives of our children, to hear people talk about you , I feel like we were all cheated to meet a man as wonderful as you seem to have been,my husband(your son)talks very highly of you and i know by what we have heard that we would have been doing the same if only we could have had a chance. We love you just the same,so take your rest and live in that beautiful place called heaven, untill we meet again. Your daughter in law today, Jean.

To my Husband ,i still miss ya baby! you have a wonderful son who has grown up to look a lot like you ,jessy and jon missed not having you around to be a dad,lord knows we needed you! Love always and forever your wife and widow Linda

To Granny, partings are always hard, and we will all have to change our lives to fill the huge void your parting has left. Keith & Louise To Great Granny, we will miss you so much. Danielle & Andrew

Larry Roy Martin was much beloved Uncle and friend. An avid baseball card collector and sports fan, we watched many a game together on a spring day. Baseball is not quite the same without him. He was an artistic, alltruistic soul and cared deeply for others but not nearly enough for himself. He died because of extended use of alcohol and drugs and his brilliance as an artist and musician and songwriter is lost to a world he longed to please. If you have a family member or friend who suffers from addiction, please help them get the help they need in order to survive before it is too late. We could not help my Uncle in time and I miss him each day. His red hair, freckles and blue eyes will never smile again. Love, Michelle

Levi we are sorry you could not stay on this Earth with us. If tears could heal you then you would be here now. We loved you so much, but you are at peace now. One day we will meet you and then you will know how much we loved you our darling baby. Sleep well sweetheart. love always Mummy, Daddy, Shane, Adam, Glenn Alex and Oliver.

Marilyn passed into immortality after bravely battling a long & pain filled illness.

My dear mother is gone. Most of the time my mind remembers, it's only my heart that tends to forget.

Rather than mourn the absence of her beautiful flame;
Let us celebrate how lovely & brightly it glowed.

Marilyn's flame glowed very lovely & brightly indeed... Only her prolonged & debilitating illness could dim her warming light, which even when ill continued to flare up for brief intervals, giving those around her merely a glimpse of it's former brilliance & beauty.

We must celebrate:
The Marilyn the confidant & keeper of many a deep secret;
The Marilyn who happily mothered the whole neighborhood, and any stray child who happened to come within her sight, hearing, or reach;
The Marilyn the homemaker, who once made matching long sleeve, button down shirts for her husband and young sons without the benefit of patterns, nor benefit of any sewing training (No one told her that it could not be done, so she just did it);
The Marilyn who SO loved to dress up for an outing;
The Marilyn who always had to have her hair fixed just so, makeup all in place, and jewelry on before she would go out of her house.

We must celebrate:
The Marilyn who tried so hard, for so many years, to make everyone happy;
The Marilyn of my youth who would never leave the house without hose, a hat, and gloves on, and heels with a bag to match;
The Marilyn who would never wear white after labor day;
The Marilyn who loved & wore Chanel Number 5;
The Marilyn who loved her big new "Red Hat Society" hat, although she never had a proper chance to wear it.

We also need remember:
The Marilyn who wanted SO much to be a grandmother and part of her grandchildren's lives, but her poor body just seemed to betray her far, far too early;
The Marilyn who wanted SO much to be able to travel again with her husband, that she endured hour upon hour and day upon day of agonizing respriatory therapy, trying in vain to build up her staminia so that she would be able to visit far away places once more.

You had so much pain... Is it a nice, pain free rest you are now having, mom?

Are you finally able to be free of the terrible & unending anxiety which became the bane of your life?

Marilyn is remembered & terribly missed by all who knew her.
She is especially missed by her husband, children, and grandchildren.

"My Grandpa"

a poem by Jimi Lynn Schmidt

******You were always there ...listening to my problems, ...absorbing my words,...and giving me all the answers.
******As we would sit at the kitchen table ...it was my turn to listen. ...And listen was what I did.
******You would tell me your stories. ...Your stories about the war and how you fought. ...I would listen.
******You told me about ...how you were little. ...And I would listen again. ******How could I forget the stories, ..."When I was your age"?
******And that one.. ..."When your mom brought that one boy home".
******And your words of advice to me, ..."You'll know that he is the one ...just like I knew Grandma was the one". ...I was always there listening.
******I was there at the hospital ...listening to you tell me ...that you were going to get out of ...there one way or another.
******I was there at the funeral ...listening to the service. ...I was there at the grave ...listening to the words that were said.
******Now I sit at the kitchen table alone. ...Still listening to the stories. ...The stories that are still in my heart.

We miss you daddy. S,B,B,S,S,B,P & B.

In loving memory of RICH MARTIN. A million Angels cried the day, they came to take my friend away. And chariots thundered across the sky, to carry my friend up on high. Lightening bolts flashed before my eyes, and a dozen scenes break across the sky. I'll remember you for all you were as the storm subsides, And call to you take care my friend till I see you on the other side. We all love you and miss you, Dad, Mom, Jennifer, Leslie, Stephanie

Shane was a wonderful son, loving brother,special uncle, and true friend. He is remembered with love and will always be remembered. You can't forget a part of you and you can't forget someone with the prescious spirit he has always had.
We miss him and think of him every minute, his friends from Holly Hill made a memorial of his parking space and visit his grave regularly. Some still call and we share our memories and pain.
He left us in a auto accident about 5 miles from home on his way to work one foggy Friday morning. Our lives changed forever. The rescue department who responded to the scene was the same station where he was a volunteer fireman.
He joined when he was 18, his senior year he was taking firefighting 101, working part time, and practicing with our gospel group 2 times a week and playing music every weekend, yet he kept his grades up and finished with no problem. He loved firefighting. They suffered just and miss him too.
He became a Mason 2 years ago and his first year was a junior officer, we are proud of him and his accomplishments.
Even with all this he always had time to listen, and help his family, and friends, or anyone in need. He never walked away when someone was hurting.
We tried to be an inspiration to him, but during his memorial there were so many people the chapel, building or yard could not hold them and everyone had a story to tell about the time or times he had helped them no matter what the problem or what time of day or night. Some were older, some middle age, some Shane's age and teenagers, and even children. He is an inspiration to me.
I love him and miss him, there are no words to tell how badly. But I know he is resting in peace, and I see him again so until then I want his memory to live on.
We Will Love You Always!!!!! Mom, Dad, your sis.'s and nephews, neice, bro-n-law's and friends.

I wish we could've met in person. I understand you not wanting to meet anyone when you were sick. I got to know you and love you through your uncle. All I could do was knit you those blue slippers your uncle has now. I love your uncle very much, and you know that now. He didn't want to tell you about us; he didn't know what you'd think, but you know now. Maybe you can help him see how much we belong together. He deserves to live to grow old, if he has our wonderful love, he will. He just left today, after another nice visit. You two were so close....Billy, please get through to him. He will listen to you. I know you'd want him to be so loved. I never had the chance to meet you on Earth. We'll meet in Heaven, where you are now. I love you. Love, Karen

Billy, you are missed so much. Your brother Patrick and sisters Eileen and Judy and their kids are doing okay. You are an angel now. Please watch over your uncle, Duke Devlin. He's not taking care of himself, and is having some health problems. You know how much I love him. I hope you will guide him to do what's right, so he will live a long, happy life. He is so miserable these days, and he takes things out on me that he shouldn't. Someday we will all be happy together in our afterlife, but until then, please let Duke be a happier man in his earthly life. I love him dearly. Help him get through all his insecurities, so that we can have our everlasting love on earth. I do love him, and am the right woman for him. He made a mistake once, and he won't make it again........let him see that I will never hurt him, or leave him for someone else. He misses you so much Billy, as do I. We love you.

Nanny. We love you so much. We are being good at school. With love and fond, happy memories. A Shetlander. Your grandchildren Danielle and Andrew. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I never spoke to her. I even cursed her name when she went out with my x-boyfriend in high school. What I didn't feel was her pain and loneliness. I do know she lived with her grandmother, who tried her best to love her. I don't know if her parents are living. She was found in a hotel room in Memphis, Tn, a body of broken bones and bullets. She had become a prostitute. Why!! I wish now I could hug her and tell her she matters. I'm sorr, leighanne. I hope I spelled your name correctly.

Matthew or as many friends knew him by Marty, Dekkronn or Snowcrash was one of my best friends who was tragically killed in a motor bike accident. Matthew loved life and was a wonderful person. I will always remember him, as an ambitious, courageous and energetic person who knew what he wanted and was going to get it. Death doesn't make sense when such a fantastic person who is just reaching the prime of his life is taken away. Why couldn't it have been someone else? Why him? But as Marty would say "that's life"

I will remember him best out the back in good old Pizza Hut - the food fights, locking each other in the freezer and of course going out in his purple torana and his love of bikes... Everytime I hear a bike, for that first instant I think it is him - then remember he has gone. I think that sound of a bike will haunt me forever.

You died before you time was up,
you were taken from us in the middle of the night,
I will never forget you and what a special person you where,
you know that I have always loved you,
all these years but I never told you in such simple words,
I always thought that we would end up growing old together
I was wrong,
I wish I got to say goodbye,
Rest in peace dear friend
Love you always - Natalie

A good man left the planet...and a good friend. He worked hard for the legalization of marijuana for medicinal use in California, and will be sorely missed. Thank you Allen for the gift that you were.....

Dying and leaving us so very young
An angel in heaven you have become
My little brother you shall remain
In time we'll meet again
Always remembering your caring ways
Never forgetting your smiling face

Loving and missing you terribly, wishing you were
still here with us. I love you very much and as
you would always say "I'll see you when I see you!"

Love you tons
Your Sister,
Nedina

Cilla: The world lost a wonderful, caring individual the day we lost you! Since your death I've tried to write down all my many feelings of loss and sorrow and nothing seems adequate. It all seems too black and white, too textbook, not expressive enough to explain to those that were not lucky enough to know you what a great person you really were. Your pain and suffering are finally over. Now you leave behind a grieving family and many friends (that was proven by just how many people came to your funeral!) And we all have to live on without your physical being helping us along. In our hearts we know that it is better that you moved on, rather than remain with us, but we are selfish and didn't want to lose you. You are in a better place, and I for one know I have the greatest guardian angel that a person could ask for. Till we meet again someday.......I will miss a good friend! Ingrid W. Coulter

Grandma,
I've always said never regret the things you do, only regret the things you didn't do. I am sorry to say that today I am filled with regret. I regret I never told you all I feel in my heart. so I write these words to compensate for not saying them.

I want to thank you first for loving me. you defined unconditional love. you never judged or criticized me, instead you
guided me. you never kicked when I was down, instead you helped me up. you never, ever hurt me. you always, always loved me. thank you for the family you gave me. you met a wonderful man who became my grandpa, and together you created a beautiful family. all my life I have hoped to find what you found with my grandpa. (I think I finally have) with him you gave me two wonderful uncles, a beautiful aunt and my mother. my mother, you gave her to me so that I would always have a part of you. although they don't realize it they, each in thier own way, remind me of you. uncle johnny... his eyes light up when he laughs, just like yours. uncle tony... has that strength in his voice, just like yours. auntie lorraine... has your loving ways. you always feel love when you are with her, just like with you. my mother... has your protective heart. no matter what we've done, or how bad we've been, she'll always stand by us, just like you. and in myself, my brothers, my cousins, and in our children we all have your strong sense of family, because you shared it with us. for all of this I thank you. last of all I thank you for you. for sharing with me your laughter, your strength, your loving ways, and your protective heart. I thank you for being the woman I someday hope to be. I love you always,
gina

To my loving brother that I will always looked up to.You were the clue that kept this family together and I will always respect you for that.I will always miss your smile.I'm sure you are walking hand and hand up above with our mother.I know that she was so very glad to bring you home once again!I look forward to the day I can be with you both in the heaven above. I will always love you brother tommy.
Love, always and forever!
Miguel (or like you said it mikey)

oh my sis beloved we including your two day babe will miss you hope you are in a better place. RIP, Gucci,REST IN PEACE FOR EVER....
LOVE YOU TWO MUCH,
EMILIO

Saddened because you left me
Every moment we shared gone
Remembering that you loved me
Giving me the strength to move on
I will be longing for our meeting
Oh! The joy when it finally comes

Dad I think of you everyday, it is so hard not having you here with me. I miss your great big heart and your generous and unselfish ways, but most of all I miss your laughter. I thank God everyday for having you in my life for 36 great years. I'm also thankful that he finally set you free. God gave you your life again, you are in a much better place where there is no more pain or suffering. I'm glad that your are finally with your son Damian, he waited for you for a year and you are finally together. I know that you are watching down on me and my family and you will always take care of us.

Forever Loving and Missing You
Your Daughter,
Nedina Y. Morales

Hunter James is the precious son of Dante and Katie. He is the beloved brother of Matthew and Brendan. Hunter died of SIDS. To this day there is no cause or reason for a SIDS death. Nearly 6,000 babies between the ages of birth to one year die of SIDS each year. Please visit Hunter James's website to help spread the word and learn more about this very scary silent killer. SIDS does not discriminate. It doesn't choose. It only brings heartache and pain. These babies need to live on forever in our hearts. Mommy and Daddy love and miss you so much little Hunter James. http://www.hunterjames.org

This memorial is for my son Mikey's life and all he meant to the people who loved him very much.

Michael was my only child. He was a truly wonderful person. He had ADD and had a real hard time in school but he made it through. He had a remarkable quality that I wish I could emulate. He was absolutely color blind in the most wonderful sense of that term. He had so many friends. I always knew that but even I did not know the full extent of his reach or impact on the lives of other people until his wake. There were hundreds of people there. And, to my amazement, the different groups did not look like they belonged in the same room together. There were kids in suits and kids in jeans. There were kids with green hair and kids with long hair. All kinds of kids. And their parents. All the variations of the rainbows. And we all, even me, thought we were Mikey's best friend. He made everyone feel special. And we all miss him so much. He looked right through all of us into our souls and knew us and loved us as we truly are..warts and all. What a great quality!

The most cheerful and upbeat person I've ever known. The largest influence of my life has been from you. You will live forever in the hearts of your family and friends.

God sent us an angel, and she used to smile so sweetly. Although she wasn't with us long, she changed our lives completely. We named our angel Tayla, and treasured every day. She brought us so much joy and love and then she went away. We know she is in God's care now. And know that she feels glad to be with those who passed before. So how can we feel sad? ~~~~~~~~~~ Tayla died of a rare mitochondrial disorder - pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency and died at the age of 22 months. She was a very "healthy" content little girl who really only suffered during the barrage of tests and maybe the last couple of months of her life. We love her very much and feel honoured to have been her parents.

Always loved and missed, a wonderful Son and Brother who lived life to the full, missed by everyone who knew him, God bless Martyn. xxx

I know you lived a long life, but not as long as I needed you to. There was so much you could have told me about being a good parent. You never even got to meet your grandson, who is so much like you it's scary. I Hope one day to bring together his Uncle Larry and him. I think that would have made you happy. I will forever miss you. Love Linny.

Beautiful, brave, smart, true, loving -- the best friend I ever had...or hope to. I miss him so profoundly. He left the world so empty. Please - find a cure for AIDS.

I wish I could have said Good-Bye. I am so sorry. You were the last connection to my father's family. It is forever lost. I miss you.

She continues,
now beyond physical,
She transcends
the limits of our darkened understanding,
And she is here,
spirit sighing in contentment
for the bright endlessness
of the love she has for each,

The love she has for each
now expands to fill dimensions,
glassy streams once formed from tears
glitter by her light,

Her light
penetrates
all the gloom
we know,
all the grief
under the earth,

She is not
of Earth
but is
of beauty
everywhere,

Waiting for reunion.

Beloved daughter of Roger Massey and Deanne Cooper Ferguson. Christy was a very active 17 year old who was called Home at an early age. She was known for her love of children. Christy, you did not meet me until the day you were in that terrible wreck, but I want you to know that you touched my heart in a way I will never forget. May peace be with you, pretty Angel!

This is a memorial for "Aunty" who, as you will see from the dates was only three weeks away from her 107th(!) birthday when she slipped away from us peacefully in hospital.

She was an amazing person who I knew for just over 20 years. I am her great-nephew's partner. She enjoyed excellent health throughout her life but this was not easy.
Made her father's housekeeper when her mother died when Ellen was only 18, she was a Sunday school teacher and an
unofficial childminder to her community in Reddish. A lifelong Christian she attended the Church of England but could also be found at Baptist, Methodist and Catholic events at the churches round and about. When she was around 40 she was asked by the family to uproot and move to Hornchurch to support her sister, her sister's husband and their son, Jack. (My partner Alan's father). Her sister developed rheumatoid arthritis and was eventually confined to a wheelchair. Aunty nursed her kept house and also kept a job that involved "doing" for another family three days a week in nearby Upminster. During the second World War she and her sister worked for the war effort by running the Forces House which was an off-base hostel run for enlisted men, mostly from the nearby Hornchurch aerodrome.

Her sister died in 1958 and after six years Ellen married her brother-in-law but he had a series of strokes so at 69 she "married a sick man" and nursed him, walking for miles with yet another wheelchair taking him shopping and to watch cricket and bowling matches.

She belonged to the St Andrews Womens Fellowship, the Hornchurch afternoon Townswomens Guild, (she was president twice) the Methodist Sisterhood, the Mothers Union and was a regular attender at St Andrews Sunday morning service right up to the week before the fall which put her in hospital.

She was a lovely, generous, person with a real belief in the power of prayer, an incredibly positive attitude to life which made her greet anything and anybody that came her way with a sunny smile, good advice and very often a witty joke.

Her funeral which took place on 29 November at St Andrews was attended by over 120 of her friends and family including her second cousins from Offerton near Stockport.

She was a very special lady who will be missed in ways that have not yet even begun to sink in. We are sure she is happy in Heaven with her loved ones who went before. They had a long wait. She was the oldest person in Havering and the 85th oldest person in the UK when she died.

My Father is now in Heaven, with my Grandpa and Grandma and all the rest of his Family. I hope someday to be able to hold him and tell him I love him again. Till then I will include him in my prayers and think of him often. He gave me priceless gifts and I thank him for them.Love, his Son.JimmyP.S. He was also known as Sonny by his Brothers and Sisters

Son I miss you very much and I miss talking to you every day and telling you my troubles and you telling me every thing would be all right.I love you a lot but you know that hugs and kisses until we meet again Mom

Your life was so short, and I was so young. We had so little time together. But the time that we did have, I will never forget. Your little brother.

My father and friend.
There a so many things I wish I had said,
and a few that I wish that I hadn't.
You are always in my heart.
To my father, I salute you.

Dad,
We all miss you very much. You are my gardian angel. I wish you were still here
Love,
YOur Daughter

John, You were the love of my life, my SoulMate, in every aspect of the word. You were my lover, my best friend, we shared everything with each other.. I miss you very much. I miss our talks, your smiling face, everything... I will never forget you John and I look forward to the day that we are together again and hopefully THAT will be forever... Love, Karen

Died in 1996 at her house at about 12 o'clock. We love you and we won't forget you. The loving and very sad famaly

My beloved daughter who was sent as a christmas gift. You are thought of often and missed daily. I hope that God is holding you close the way I would do if you were here I love you and miss you my angel baby Love Mommy

Thanks for everything you did for me. I will always respect and love you for it. Wish you could have lived to meet my wife Shanon. You would have loved her. I miss you. Love Charlie

My dear sweet angel, I love you more than words can express. I wish I could have looked into your eyes, and heard your cries. Someday in Heaven, I'll be there to hold you. I don't know when but I look forward to the day I get to meet you. Please watch over mommy and daddy. We tell your story to everyone who will listen. I love you Natalie.

In memory of my only child, whose life was far too brief in this world, I miss you always.

In memory of a wonderful wife, mother, gran, Auntie, and friend, your kindness will live on in our hearts.
Len and all the family.

In memory of my mother, Sally (Bessie) Lenora Mullen- Mathiason. It has now been 24 years since you left my life. I pray that you have found eternal peace & are not only in the arms of your Lord, but holding hands with dad. I love you & miss you so much. My life has never been the same, without you in it. We will meet again some day, and I will have so much to share with you. Love always, your daughter, Dawn.

In memory of my father, Vernon Lloyd Mathiason. Not a day passes that I do not miss you & remember our life together. The only thing that makes the pain a bit less, is knowing you are reunited with mother. I pray that you are in a peaceful place, the same place that "Benjamin" described to me in a dream. One day....I will see you again, and what a blessed reunion that will be. Love always, your daughter, Dawn.

La vie nous réserve plein de surprises. Que ce soit des événements qui nous apportent de la joie ou de la peine, il faut les accepter comme ils sont et sans se demander pourquoi. Nous avons eu le bonheur dÂ’avoir une belle petite fille pour partager notre vie pendant six merveilleuses années et nous allons en garder que de bons souvenirs. CÂ’est dans ces moments-là que nous comprenons que nos enfants ne nous appartiennent pas, ils nous sont seulement que prêtés. CÂ’est pour cette raison quÂ’il faut leur démontrer notre Amour en leur disant la chance que nous avons de les avoir à nos côtés pour partager notre vie, leur dire “JE TÂ’AIME” souvent et profiter de leur présence car ils peuvent partir très vite. Ariane-Li, tu nous as quittés si rapidement que nous avons peine à y croire. Mais tu demeureras pour toujours avec nous dans notre cÂœur et nos pensées car, notre Amour pour toi est si grand. Un jour, nous irons te rejoindre et nous serons avec toi pour toujoursÂ… Son père, Claude Surprenant Sa mère, Marie-France et son conjoint, Yves.

We loved you your whole life.

Grandpa-

It took me almost 10 years to visit you at your tomb in Pinelawn. And when I sit there, mourning at your grave, I can't help but miss you. You were taken too young, and I still wish you were here. You'd be so proud of me. I never got to say my goodbye, and when I heard the news that morning, it was horrible. I want to give you more of those kisses you always wanted. Life just isn't the same without you here, and I'm not the same without you. I miss you, and I love you, and I can't wait to see you again. We have lots to catch up on.

Love always,

Your grandson Keith

To a Beloved Mom and sister. She will be greatly missed by all her family. As your eldest daughter who lived with you for over three years - your presents is deeply missed. But I know you are with Dad and Grandmother, Grandfather and your brothers now; where you wanted to be. An are not in pain anymore. I hoped you and the rest of the family had a glorious Easter week even through we missed you down here. Love Always from your daughters: Connie Matthews, Sheila Lee; grandson: Brian Raynor; sisters: Vonciel Larson, Peggie Arnold; and all the other family members and friends who will miss your present. And the future great-grandson who will never know you personally. God Bless and Love you in your eternal rest.

My son, I miss you more than I can ever say. Your stay was all too brief. I hope you have found the love and peace that so eluded you in this life. We, your sisters and mom and dad, we will always remember our dear and beloved "Franky".

Each day people float into our lives. But only the special ones stay Special people have so much joy to give You were always that way You floated in not by choice Special friends we were destined to be Showing early your opinions by your voice Making many impressions upon me Year passed by More than a friendship we had Sharing dreams that reached for the sky For this kind of friendship, I was glad I was so proud When you graduated Glad to be a face in the crowd While you anxiously waited to be congratulated The years again past Different ways we would take We had a friendship that would last Many phone calls we would make The day you left me I couldn't believe you were gone Just how could this be? Now I will be alone A friendship we started A sistership we shared How could we so soon be parted? I hope you knew how much I cared As the days turn to years These feelings I have will never end A thought of you brings tears Will my broken heart ever mend? Love Always, Dawn Ballenger 7 May 1998

dear grandfather, i don't know if you ever knew i was your first grand child. your eldest daughter, marieta gave birth to me 5-28-55. i wish i could have known you. you were a hard worker all your life. at least that is what I have found out about you so far. please from heaven help me find the rest of your/our family. i don't think you and my mom were close but i know she felt close to your mother. love, the grandaughter you never knew, belinda.

we miss him, his laugh his voice the kindness in his heart, the way he never forgot the special things, he is missed and will always be remembered in our hearts our paddy or patrick from roscrea

Loving husband of Evelyn C and father of Diana, Sharon, Deborah and Kathleen. He was an intelligent, multi-talented man who loved to share his knowledge with others. He was a professor of religion & philosophy at Union College, Kentucky. He was popular with students and faculty alike. When he retired, he learned to wood carve and play the organ and he never stopped learning. He's in a better place now but he will be missed by so many people. We loved you very much.

Born in Sydney Mines on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, he was one of fourteen children born to Suzanne Warren Matthews of Heart's Content, Newfoundland, and George Llewelyn "Lew" Matthews, a coal miner. His was and is a very close and loving family, and Sam was a favorite uncle of many of the 47 children of his brothers and sisters.

Sam served as a private in the Canadian Army in the Cape Breton Highlanders from 1939 until 1945. Trained in Scotland as a sniper, he fought in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg before the three year campaign up the Italian Peninsula, which resulted in various health problems throughout the rest of his life.

He married Ruth Alva Valentine Larder of Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1947, and fathered two children, Eric John Matthews of Ft.Meyers, FL (b. 1948) and Lorraine Susan Matthews Levesque Stockton of Eugene, OR (b. 1952). Sam found work in the 1950s in Ontario at an A&P food market and transferred to Massachusetts. He retired in 1967 at age 46 due to heart attacks.

Mr. Matthews held various offices in St. Lukes Episcopalian Church in Springfield, Mass., was a two-time President of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and was a member of various fraternities (Elks, Eagles, etc.). He devoted much time to being with his grandson, A.J Levesque IV (b. 1970 to his daughter, Lorraine). Sam enjoyed socializing, helping people, visiting family in Canada each summer, traveling, dining out, baseball, softball and other sports, spirituality and history. He and his wife traveled extensively in the UK and to various places in North America after retiring.

Samuel Matthews passed on after many heart attacks in April of 1973, and has been sorely missed by family and friends, who lost his loving presence, wisdom and gentle strength from their lives. His memorial is with his parents' plot in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The following verse was read by Ann's daughter, Emma at her funeral Friday 24th January 1997. However you knew her Ann, Annabelle or as I did as Mum, I am here just to say a few words about her life and what memories myself, Ian and Mark will treasure forever. Like any family, life wasn't always easy, but whatever Mum had she gave Mark and myself the best that she could and most of all a life full of love. Seeing the courage and braveness that Mum has portrayed in this past three months, should be a lesson to us all. As someone said to Ian and myself last week " If you met Ann only once, she affected your life forever" I cannot think of truer words. From her early teens Mum became very involved with the horsy world, this became her one main love and continued right through until her passing. Her latest love was Bella. Bella and Mum were the perfect combination and even succeeded at competing in a few shows during last summer, which was an absolute delight to Mum, who would come home very red faced raving about how she had jumped 3'6" and still having a red face three hours later would convince us of her exertion. Mum was a person who was constantly occupied and very rarely sat down to take a break. If she did have the time to do this, she would soon be on her feet again seeking the next challenge. A challenge was another one of Mum's great delights and she would never give up without a good fight, even with her last challenge of fighting cancer she never became down hearted and was always extremely positive. Even though she has passed away, I can truly say that she never gave up fighting. I know that she was extremely proud of her family. When we discovered that Mum was ill, we began to live for each day and over the past three months we have spent a great deal of quality time together, talking, laughing and sometimes even crying and all of these memories will remain with me forever. The strength, determination and sheer courage she has displayed has almost certainly added a positive aspect to everybody's lives. Although she will be sadly missed by us all, she will be so lovingly remembered. I feel very lucky and proud to have known such a wonderful lady and feel very honoured that she was my Mum and most of all my friend. Although two years has now gone you are still loved and remembered dearly each everyday.

Our first daughter, Gabrielle... name of angels. You died inside me. In the scan you looked perfect... but your heart had stopped. I carried you for weeks knowing I think, but I could not accept your loss. Seeing you after the operation - so small, so much potential, lost. Never to see you at play. In your short time you brought us so much joy. We will never forget you. We miss you and love you so much. Tracey and Rob xxxx

Dear Nanny, There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and all the things that we have done together. You have given me a priceless gift that could never be replaced--The gift of love. You mean so much to me, and I miss you terribly! I know that you are in a better place now, and I will someday be able to see your wonderful smile again. All my love, Erin

Nanny..You were truly the most wonderful person I ever met. I have never met a more selfless, kind, generous person. You taught us all to be loving and giving..and to always be accepting of others. You never had a mean thought or an unkind word. We miss you terribly. I will always be grateful for your love and understanding, and most of all for your unconditional love. I always knew I would be ok if I could just be with Nanny. I have had to grow up now, and stand on my own now, since both you and Mom have gone. I will be forever grateful, though, for the lessons in life and love that you gave me, and for the wonderful sense of family that you gave me. I wish that my children could experience the kind of love from a grandmother that I did. I will always miss you. I hope you are exactly where you wanted to be now.....in heaven rockin' the babies! All our love, Kathy and Gary and Erin, Patrick, Andrew, Emily, Anna, and Elizabeth.

In memory of my beloved husband, and father of my 6 children, died at the age of 36 of CML (Leukemia) We were married for 18 years and we were soulmates. I will always love you and the memories we made. I know you are in a better place and looking down on us and seeing your sweet grandchildren. Miss you sweetie, Vern

I was not related to you in blood, but you were such a great person, and you always were smiling even if you were down and could make a joke out of anything anytime anywhere..I was devastated when that day came, it was so unexpected to me. I thought of you like a father..you are, will and always will be missed by me.....I wish you were still here.

Love,Erica

Simone, ich werde Dich niemals vergessen - ich liebe Dich, Alex

In stiller Trauer:

Die Familie im Namen aller Angehoerigen

Augsburg, den 28.10.1996

Daddy when you left my world fell apart. You were everything to me, but I know that you were tired of fighting and you wanted to go home with our Father Jesus Christ. The poem that you left for us has helped me so much. To Those I Love And Those Who Loved Me When I am gone,release me,let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I have you my love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you fo the love you each have shown But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a while that we must part So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away,for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can not see me or touch me, I will be near And If you listen with your heart, you will hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile, and say, "Welcome Home" R.I.P. Poppy you do not have to suffer from emphysema anymore. Just remember how much we all love you and miss you and I promise you I will not give up until I find your boys Steven and Ronald Raymond Mattox Jr. Love you daddy, from Shannon, Carol, Jeff and Cris.

A bright young life, taken far too soon.
Loved by all.

Loved

To honor my everlasting and undying love for my sweet child. My life is an uncomplete book, my chapter will never end, until I see my beautiful baby boy again. Everyday I am missing you. Joshua died the day before Mother's day 1999. He drowned in a shallow garden pond outside of our house. It was a terrible unexpected tragedy. Since he left my entire life has shattered. I am only little fragments of the person that I once was. I am amazed that everything I know about UNCONDITIONAL LOVE was taught to me by a two year old.

he died because of a broken Heart. His girlfriend has left so what should he do????

You were so young but you touched more people then you will ever know. You were my little angel and the lives you touched with your big brown eyes and fat cheeks. You are greatly missed by your family but God needed to take you home away from all the pain and suffering you did here on earth and even though God only gave you to me for a short time I will never regret the good times and the love I learned from you. You will always be my special little angel boy and the love of Mommy's life. I will aways remember your strong will and your will to live until your little heart got too tired to go on beating. And like the saying at your funeral God had to hurt us to prove he only takes the best to do his work. Now is your time to play and be perfect up in Heaven with God. Fly with your wings son, no one has earned them more.

Agnes, the 65 years went very quickly goodnight and god bless

To my darling Aunty Maureen, a beautiful lady who had so little and loved so much. Thank you for all the special things you did for me and the way you loved me. You were an angel and I will carry you in my heart and light a candle for you wherever I go.

"And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
- behind a veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we
can soar together again
- both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life
to its fullest
and when you need me,
Just whisper my name
in your heart
... I will be there."

Cher Dad
Même les années qui passent n'effacent pas ton souvenir.
Ta fille qui t'aime, Lyse

Dear Lord,I cannot see--
But this I know,although the road ascends
And passes from my sight,
That there will be no night;
That You will take her gently by the hand
And lead her on
Along the road of life that never ends,
And she will find it is not death but dawn.
I do not doubt that You are there as here,
And You will hold her dear,
Our life did not begin with birth,
It is not of the earth;
And this that we call death, it is no more
than the opening and closing of a door--
And in Your house how many rooms must be
Beyond this one where we rest momently...

Dear Natalie, Many years have passed and you are in
my heart...So many things and love that
I could have done but didn't....only
to think about after you went to be with
our Lord............Love always Bob

Dad, You are missed, But I'm glad your suffering is over. I know you would not have wanted to go on as you were and telling the hospital to let you go was one of the hardest decisions I had to make. I hope you are in a better place. If there is an afterlife I'm sure you'll be waiting. Thanks for being you. Love Bob

In loving memory of our special mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. We will never forget you or the many ways you touched our lives. Goodbye, Grand. Rest in peace.

Merridy

This is for my dance instructor Bob Maxus. It's been a while since we lost this wonderful man to AIDS. He was always upbeat and funny and kind, even in his last days. He will be remembered forever at the newly renamed Robert Wilson Maxus memorial ballet school.

your student,

from Mark, Jill, Lisa, Andrew, Emily and Ross McClean. 8 Neills Lane, Greenisland, N. Ireland. David we miss you more than you will ever know. My children wept openly at your graveside today. Every contact with Janice, Victoria, Bradley and Joshua will be painful and poignant for ever because of the large hole in all their lives, caused by your futile and untimely death. Our questions shall never cease . . . choosing death instead of seeking support. Choosing death instead of family. Your decision has left hundreds of friends and relatives dumbfounded and shattered at the permanent loss of one of their loved ones. Popularity can hide so much sadness. We miss you more than you will ever know.

He was one great guy...Always a fighter...But it all became too much for him May he be at rest alway's.

Dear Pawpaw,

I miss you somuch. Words will never be able to describe the emptiness my heart feels without you here. You were the best. I never got a chance to tell you how lucky I was to have you as my grandfather and how greatful I am for the many memories you made "I will cherish them forever." Pawpaw I know your watching over me every second of everyday. And I know you hear me talk to you when I'm happy, sad and sometimes when I'm just bored. I know your in a better place, although sometimes I feel selfish because I want you here again. I want to be able to climb on your lap, even if I am now to big and listen to your funny stories. I want to sit with you and Mawmaw on the front porch and listen to you whistle. But, most of all I want to be able to hug you and know I'll wake up with you here for one more day. Our family is no longer the same. We all miss you somuch. One day we will all be together again, but until that day your sweet memories will be remembered forever. Give Tony and Chase a big hug and kiss for me.

Loving and Missing You Forever
I Love You,
Sarah

In memory of my dad,who was one of the best fathers ever.
You loved me as your own, "even though I was adopted". You never treated me any different than your two birth children.
You were always there when I needed you,"which was a lot".
You were very special and I will remember your love my whole life through. You loved me and I loved you!
I hope that you are in peace and heaven you call home,
not only were you my father but the greatest man I've known.
Loving and Missing You,
Diana

In Memory Of My Dad...
You were the best father ever
My adoption brought us together,
You were always there when I needed you
Which over the years was a lot,
You were very special.
I will remember your love my whole through,
You loved me and I loved you,
I hope you are at peace,
And heaven you call home.
Not only were you my father,
But the greatest man I've known.

My mom was a loving and caring person. She was the backbone of our family. She loved her family very much and she was loved by all who met her. My mom loved all animals but most of all she loved her horse khalua. a two year old arabian colt. Mom, I wish you were still here to give me that motherly advice and so my children could spend time with you. I show them pictures of you so they can know you like I do. I love you with all my heart. Please take good care of Dad and remember you are always in all of our hearts. love, Allison

My father lived a long and happy life. He was retired from the military and city of Lansing. He touched the lives of everyone he met. He loved to hunt and fish. He knew a lot about boats too!! Dad, I will miss you more than you could ever know. I hope you are doing all of the things you could no longer do here. You really are the best! I'm thankful that you're not in pain anymore and that you can walk again. I love you and miss you every second of everyday. love, allison

On february 12 1997 I was sitting at home when I got a call from a friend that said that My best friend in the whole world had hung himself. I remember calling all our friends so they would not have to find out at school from someone else but after that I don't remember much about the next few days but a lot of tears and sobs. Scott, I miss you so much. when you died a part of my heart died too. Bye I hope to see you soon. Love, Vonnie
