This was the best Father in the world. He always took care of his family. Always made the family happy if they where down. For all of these things Daddy I wanna say I love you and you will always be missed. In Loving Memory Of Roberto Antonio Nadal December 30, 1952 - April 27, 1998

In loving memory of Aunt Fran. I wish you could have seen me grow up. You taught me so much, and I miss you every day.

In memory of a cherished grandmother who was tragically taken from us. You are missed every day.

Beloved wife of Dennis, a faithful partner in marriage, died peacefully living her faith on Jan. 10, 1998 after living with breast cancer for more than a year. Her grace and courage shown during this difficult time has been a source of wonder and inspiration to all those who watched her take death by the hand and walk confidently into the future. She was a proud mother and friend to her two children, Joanne and Jeff. She held them both in her hands for awhile, but will hold them in her heart forever. She was a special grandmother to Megan and Miranda, with whom she spent many joyful hours cradling them in her arms, playing their games, singing their songs, listening to their questions and just being a child among children. A loving daughter and friend to her mother, Anne (Shefchek) Ross and faithful sister to her brother, Charles M. Shefchek, Sr. Her talents were many and varied. What she put her hands to she did with great devotion and indomitable will. She created beauty with a paint brush and oils where there was none, sharing the graciousness of her home and warmth and love of her personality with family and friends alike. She knew that love in the heart was not put there to keep but to give away. She was executive secretary and office manager to Joe Palena of Palena Associates Inc. in Vancouver where she was appreciated and loved. Her boundless energy was a source of constant surprise and admiration to all who watched her move from one interest to another.

Brandon, You will always be missed by all of us. We know you're watching down on each and every one of us at all times. You left so many memories and happy times for us to remember you by. You changed so many lives...and you're memory will continue to! We love you and miss you!

To John, who learned to live with many disabilities with courage and quiet confidence. You will always be my beloved husband. Now you are free of restrictions. I will be with you one day. Until then I shall miss you every day of my life here on earth. I am blessed to have been your wife. You are greatly missed by many you touched and always by me. I cannot believe you are gone. That is probably because you really aren't. You live on in all of us and we feel your presence.

Herb's love of Jesus, his family, and humor were apparent to anyway who remotely knew him. He had accomplished so much in his 87 years. Herb played piano with Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, he retired a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army after serving under Gen. MacArthur, he was a member of the Screen Actor's Guild, he retired from General Dynamics as Chief of Employee Services and Safety after numerous awards for setting worldwide safety records--the list goes on. But his greatest achievement was that--he was the greatest Dad of all. We all miss your presence, but we know that you are where you have been living you life to be. Keep watching over us. We love you very much.

A loving and caring grandmother to David, Jeni, and Michael. We still miss you and love you. Life has not been the same since you left us but we are confident that one day we will meet again.
With love forever,
Jeni, David, and Mike

Dan and I met in kindergarten and lived in the same neighborhood most of our lives. He was so funny, he was a great sholder to lean on and was there when needed. He served on the USS Oklahoma City as a signal-man in the late 60s while he was in the Navy. I still can't believe he's gone, Dan was a character never to be forgotten. Where ever Dan is, I'm sure he is still watching the ladies. Rest in peace friend, you really were one of a kind.

When I found out that you were gone I didn't know if i was going to be able to make it. Everything was so different... it was just too soon, right before my 13th birthday which when I last talked to you, you promised you would be there. I know it wasn't a promise you intended to break but it hurt. I miss you so much. I don't think it can even be described in words how much. It's almost been four years and sometimes I think I'm starting to forget your face, but I know I won't. You were too beautiful to ever forget. It's still hard every day I'm gonna be 17 soon. I just think about the future how you wont see me graduate, I hate the thought of my kids never getting to know you, or getting married without u there. I know this is a memorial but I kind of used it as a letter. Mom I love u and miss you forever.
Love Always,
Your first girl Sara.

Like all of us, he did his best. His strength was obvious, his strengths less so. Still, many benifited from his time here. But more than they suffered? Who can say?

May he be happy. May he be peaceful. May he be enlightened.

To my little brother, Charlie, We miss you so much!! I can't tell you how hard this is, I love you and I am lost.
Living without you my heart is the cost, feeling, waking, knowing, I wish for it to be a bad dream that sadly whisper's it's reality and I am mortified! Everyday I look at your picture's, I hear your voice in my ears and remember the way you laughed. I am awaiting impatiently to see you once again. Life is no longer something I understand, I can not comprehend now that you have left.
I love you!!! Love , Sharon

For my Son,

They say that time will heal,
but I dont believe thats true,
For nothing can erase,
the pain of losing you.

Jacqui Smith

We all miss you and hope to see you in heaven

Mannen, ik mis jullie zo en moet vaak aan jullie denken. Bedankt voor de hulp die ik van jullie heb gekregen.

Grandma Tommy, It was hard for me and daddy to lose you. I hope you are happy wherever you are. May you find peace, and give Cassie Diane a hug for me. I miss you very much. Love forever, Heather

how fleeting is this mortal day! how deep the scars of time etch themselves yet we do not heed: what we reap so shall we sow ah-now thee will come to meet what awaits thyself on the threshold of death oblivion.... now you turn back to face the mirror that reflects a new born self one that only you can mould along the twisted pathways of this mortal coil.

On Wednesday, December 20, 1995, I was a passerby that witnessed a shooting of a parking lot attendant. This attendant and booth I was to soon find out never handled any money. In the next 48 hours I was to learn many things about Chris Naylor the parking lot attendant. Before all this happened I did not know Chris. Chris managed to hold on to life for twelve more hours. Chris was thirty-five years old and just married (four months) and held a degree in psychology. He also worked at an inner city detox center helping alcoholics and addicts to find a sober and clean life. I met Chris's family at the wake and I was impressed with how loving and giving the family were and I could only think of Chris in the same manner. While I was still at the funeral home I picked up an in memorium card that had a poem about being in a far better place than here. I then turned the card over to find the Serenity Prayer: God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change... Courage to change the things I can and Wisdom to know the difference, it was then I knew that a man just like Chris saved my life from alcoholism seventeen years ago. The ironic thing is that the shooter was offered an opportunity (to be led by the hand so to speak) to go to A.A. and N.A. meetings, a week earlier, and he declined.

A good friend, loyal to all of man. I remember the time we played football, and the time we cast dreidels. I won. Both times. I laughed, you cried. I miss you. Everyone else beats me.
