Nicholas Selwyn Pradia, my gift from God, age 6, passed away from Meningococcal septicemia. I miss you every moment of every day...

To my dear grandmother

I never had the chance to meet you, as you hardly had time to be a mother, let alone a grandmother. I know you loved your family and believe that you know that your family loves you.

May you rest in peace as you were unable to do the last few years of your life, struck down by a disease that became curable just a few years after your death.

Much love to you from your grandson and only great granddaughter.

His heart and his love will forever be with us. His pain will forever be forgotten.

God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come With Me".
With saddened eyes we watched you
As you quietly slipped away.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to show us
He chose to take the best.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
(Alfred Tennyson)

Dear Grandma, Thinking of you often. So many questions about the family history that I never remembered to ask you. Your'e in our thoughts. Love your Grandson Julian.

Thinking of you often as I work on the family genealogy. Dear Grandfather, I was so young when you died that I never had a chance to really get to know you. By creating our family history I hope to provide a link to our past. With much love, your grandson Julian .

The worlds of medical science and music are poorer for your leaving. My world is impoverished beyond belief by losing you. Sleep softly my darling, I shall never forget you. "Et in terra pax hominibus"

Charles Anthony President was born May 18, 1958, at the Metropolitan Hospital, New York City, NY to James and Harriette President. He grew up a quiet and reserved young man who loved to play sports and appreciated music. We will all miss Charles dearly. He will be loved by us always. As long as we live, so to shall Charles...in our hearts and in our memories. We shall never forget our beloved one.

I hate that I am having to do this at all...I know that every little thing that makes me face the reality of my baby brothers death will help me...
Derek, I love you, I miss you.

Though the hurt is still fresh
I know in my heart you are at rest
Though my eyes are filled with tears
I know you will never again have any fears
Since you are always in my heart
We are never truly apart
Even though I can't make you laugh out loud
I can see your smile in every cloud
Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't ache
I will worry not
To protect you, by your side is good old Jake
We will forever keep you love in our hearts,
Your smile in our eyes,
Your laughter in our ears,
Your jokes in our mind,
And we will do our best to love life the way you did
I love you baby brother

Billee, I miss you so much you brightened my day everytime we talked I really miss our chats I love you just like a brother I'll never forget you ever I keep you close to my heart I wear your locket everyday I'll never forget you Love you always,Lora~

Billee,I love you more than life I would give mine in a heartbeat just have you here with us Love Always,Sue~

Billee, I love you just like a brother I wish you were my brother and I miss you so much Love, Shelby~

Billee, enjoy the ball in Heaven with your parents Love,Gramma Joyce

I called you my special friend,
And I thought our cherished friendship will not end...
Until God knew your time was done,
And I soon felt to be the lonely one.

I could still picture your comforting smiles,
Which seemed to stretch for many miles...
The love you have given still stays in my heart,
And I know that in heart, we will never part.

Although it was a short time when we knew each other,
We have formed a special bond that will last forever...

I hope you know that I have loved you, too,
And I still wish that I had the chance to whisper a good-bye to you...

Friends are quiet angels,
Who lend a helping wing,
Whenever one has trouble,
Remembering how to fly.

To all those who have had the chance to meet Billee:
Thank you for all of your thoughtfulness to him and for caring for him. Whether you physically met him or not, you all have been wonderfully kind to him, and I'm thankful for having the opportunity to meet this fine, young man. Hopefully, we all could celebrate in remembrance of this courageous teen instead of mourning, because if we are Christians, we have the salvation we need from God to live eternally in Heaven after death, and we also can meet Billee there. It's been about a year now, and yet our tears for Billee shield us from God, we should open our eyes and move on, being happy and still having him in our hearts as he would like us to be. Thank you all.

To my father Terry, who we think died of a broken heart after the death of his youngest son, (my brother) who died 14 months previous. He will never be forgotten, and thanks to this page, I can let his name live on forever.......

Daddy, I miss you so much! And I feel your spirit with me most days! There are times that I feel as though Mom "killed" you by arguing with you the night before you left for your trip to San Antonio! I miss your laughter and your smiles so much! I carry you in my heart always! I miss not being able to talk with you face-to-face! Many times you have come to me in my dreams and it has been so comforting to me to have those minutes together! I am so sorry that you didn't get to go to New Zealand for your vacation; I know that you were so looking forward to it! At least now, you have your brother and 2 sisters with you and you are reunited with your Mother and Father! No one stays in touch with me other than Dwayne; he's the only one! Daddy, please keep looking over me and guiding me! I just feel so lost without you, especially now that I am healing and recovering for all of my childhood wounds. I have been working very hard, yet I know that you know that already. I'm so glad that I have this place here in the Virtual Memorial Gardens to visit with you and remember how loving, kind, compassionate and nurturing you were for me. I will honor you always and I pray for your soul's rest daily! I love you Daddy!

To all the Pretti's in my family, I miss all of you, I am trying so hard to finish the family tree. I keep coming to a dead end. The only reason I keep finding more information is because one of you dies. I miss my family and the family I never knew. My mom only knows so much, this tree is my main goal. I want my son to know his family the way I knew ya'll. Give me the wisdom from up above. I love all of you very much and I wish you could see how I turned out.

Claudina Pretto, beloved mother of Feliciana Braganza, mother in law of Joe Cornelios Braganza, Grandmother of Nabila, Vanila & Jovila, Great-grandmother of Melody D'Souza, left for her heavenly abode at 1545 hrs. (Indian Standard Time) on 18th April, 1997. May God grant her soul eternal rest. Will always be remembered for her unselfish love.

My grandfather died on Sat. Sept 13, at the age of 99. It was the worst phone call I ever received. I can honestly say that <BR> the idea of him dying was my worst fear in life, and now I can say that I really have no fears in life. He will be forever with me from now on. I know that he is happy now where he is, with his beloved wife, my grandmother, Agnes. He has always been and forever will be my hero. I love you and miss you every day, Grand pa. Your granddaughter, Claire.

Adam, I miss you a lot. I can't wait until the day comes that we will meet in heaven. Until then, I can only pray and thank God that at least you are not in pain anymore. I miss you. You were such a blessing to all of us. Love, Esther

Missed much and remembered always. A very special person.

To my grandmother who was loved so much. I miss her dearly. I wish that God didn't need her as bad as I did. But, I know that she is in peace now. She is much happier than we are. I love you Mamaw. I can't wait to see you again someday.

To my lost son. Who now resides in heaven with god. We loved when you were here and the little bit of time we got to spend with you.We'll always remember the good time we had with you along with the bad. We'll miss you always. We seen all the life touched when you were here. Your loving Father and Mother. Jim and Jane Price

I will never understand why you chose to leave but I want you to know that your decision will never change the way I love you. Although our friendship was my everything, I always had the hope of "someday". I will forever remember: long talks about wanting a family, horn honks, McDonald's ice cream cones, the 'hand incident' on the trip to Lafayette, iguana tails, grading papers together, Family Feud, carrots and celery dipped in ranch, crossword puzzles, hiding car keys, laughing hysterically, hours of Scattergories, softball games, hours of putt-putt, grilled chicken sandwiches, Taco Bell soft tacos with no meat, your legs, boxers with t-shirts, how cute you were playing your tuba in 5th grade......I could go on forever. I loved you, Jay. I will spend the rest of my life remembering and honoring you. My kisses goodbye will forever be on my lips. I will ALWAYS love you!!!!! -Lori

To grandpa who died of AIDs related cancer. I wish you would've told us, we never really knew you, jamie

My first born, gone before his time, at such an early age. I think of him always and talk about him often and believe I always will and that it is healthy. I am finally expecting my second and I can hardly wait for him/her to learn about their big brother and what a wonderful person he was and would have been. It is so difficult when you lose a child, it is like a part of me will always be severed from my body and there are days worse than others. But it does get easier and it is so helpful to talk to others about the person you lost. Liam will always be a part of my vocabulary, I love him with all my heart.

A life is like a song we write in our own tone and key, Each life we touch reflects a note that forms the melody. We choose the theme and chorus of the song to bear our name, And each will have a special sound, no two can be the same. So when someone we love departs, in memory we find Their song plays on within the hearts Of those they leave behind. Our darling Joshua left the greatest song for us-his goodness,love and sweetness are remembered by so many. The melody swirls in our heads and our regret is that it is only a memory and not our darling Joshua. The song is beautiful-full of hope,love and dreams. The song lingers and haunts us all.So many people loved our beautiful boy- the song ended too soon. We miss you, Joshua. We love you with all our hearts. Mom,Dad,Elise,Grandma and Grandpa

Bessie Warmack Primous: (Mom'Me) Gone but will "NEVER" be forgotten. A loving wife, mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and much, much, more. A "true" christian woman who believed in God. Her great strength will always be remembered. Her many stories will always be cherrished forever. Your Grands truly miss you!

My beloved grandmother, who always took the time to tell me how special I was and how much she cared. She is dearly missed!

Bell, you were always able to get me to smile and though sometimes I never slowed down for all your Lil' short stories-cause they seem to aggravate me and your crazy jokes ---somehow you would get me to stay still long enough anyway, I remember you telling me that I'm just like my Mother and I probably would have gotten angry any other time, but I seem to hear those words in my head over and over-exactly the way you said them and it doesn't upset me. You had so much patients with us (me, Lisa, Trice, Mama, and all the kids) and were always there if we needed you anytime-------I never knew how much we appreciated you and needed you in our lives until now and I'm wondering what you're doing right now (probably joking). The loss of you and Wilie has really taken a toll on all of us and I'm hoping that our family will soon come togethar as one. Bell, We Miss You So Much!!!! Beanie, Nickki and Tonio!!!!

Dad,

I miss you so much!! I can not believe that it is going to be 5 years since you passed away. It still feels like yesterday. You finally have a Grandson!! Like I told you, if it was a boy we would name him David. He was born just 5 weeks after you passed away. It was the hardest thing I have had to go through without you. The birth of my first child so close to your death. He is so much like you too. He is loving, funny, stubborn and strong willed all rolled up in a little package. I love looking at him and seeing the determination and strength in his eyes as I saw in yours. You would be so proud of him, he is such a good boy. In October we are expecting another baby......ya, I know we waited so long. I know that you will be watching over and praying for this baby too. I so wish that my children would have had a chance to have you in their lives. I talk about you everyday to David and promise to with the new addition. I promise to keep your memory alive through my children!!

I love and miss you Dad!!

Carla

Erik, you have been a true friend...
Untill we meet again !!!

Not a day goes by when I don't think of my mom. Two and a half years after my brother died, mom found a lump in her breast. She fought for a year and a half before the cancer spread. She died of liver cancer. Thankfully she died without pain. All of her family was with her when she died. I was gifted with one last look from her moments before she died. But it haunts me to this day. I was only 20 when she past away. Now that I'm 27, I need her more than ever. She missed my wedding and I miss her presence. I will always love her. I will always miss her. She was truely loved by everyone she knew.

It's been almost 10 years since my big brother, Todd died. He was taken away from us in a tragic accident. He was my only brother. I miss him picking on me and the fights we used to get into when we were kids. As we grew older, I didn't seem to know him very well. We were 5 years apart and so he eventually left home and had his own life. I'm sad to say that we didn't talk that much and we simply grew apart. I will always regret that. I did want to get to know him. But by then it was too late. I was only 17 when he died at a too young of age of 21. I wanted so much to buy him a drink when I turned 21. I wanted to dance with him at my wedding. So many things to do, no time to do it. I will always miss my bro. I loved him very much. We all loved him. Now he has my mom there to keep him company. I hope to be with them both one day.

A time for peace.

A private memorial to a young woman taken in the prime of her life in a tragic and senseless accident. A girl I once knew, struggling to come to terms with hostilities in her life. Mistakes made, friendships broken, never had the chance just to say "Sorry" - and mean it, show I finally found out how to walk away without turning my head to look back. A memorial to her familly, her mother, father, sister. Also her boyfriend. At least the familly know she was "theirs", how he copes with the grief of losing one so close, and yet never being as one, I hope never to find out. He will never know the joy of what I have finally found, (I had almost given up hope), so to him especially, I hope you find your way too. So, to Chloe's family, I have often though of what I would say if, or rather when, I meet with you again. I'm just so sorry for your loss. Occasionally, I do think of people from the past, and Chloe contributed in part to who I am today. My thoughts go with you.

My beloved Dad. You and I lived so many thousands of miles apart for so many years. I did not understand how much I would miss you. Now I do. You have always stood tall and strong for the good, kind, nurturing, and beautiful things in life. You leave behind hundreds, maybe thousands who are better people for having known you. I am proud to be your son.

Edgar (Eddie) Proctor 43 of Texas died peacefully in his home at 12:30 June 28th. He was a true man of honor and diginity and a great father to me (Nicki) and my brother. He left behind his wife Tammy and us two. My father worked all the time there was never a day when he didn't work unless he was sick, and he was rarely sick. I will never forget everything that happen to this man. He lost his mom at a very early age and then on Feburary 28 of 99 his father past away of cancer it was 2 weeks after that my dad found out that he had prostate cancer. He went under many different kinds of treatment in hopes to make it go into remission. It never happened so they went into surgery. My mom wanted for hours hoping that everything went good but the doctors came out and told her that if they were to open up the prostate and get the cancer it would spread faster. so they never got it. They put him in Radiation and it did go into remission. Everything was perfect untill this year. Every morning dad would get up and get sick alot and would have bad headaches.Then one day at work he said he needed to go to the hospital and when we took him we found out that he had a tumor and they took him to Austin. We later were given the news that the cancer had reached the brain, organs, and all the bones. They gave him 6 months to a year, it was later that week they found out he only had 3 to 4 months. He went down hill fast it was this past month (june) that everything fell apart. He stopped eating and getting up. A few days he starting slepping alot. We all told them that if he was ready to go then to go. When all three of his sister were here he faded fast. In the early morning hours dad fell into a comma. We knew his time was soon and he knew so too cause he said he was going to go fishing with his dad before he went into the comma. At 12:25 June 28th dad work up from his comma and looked at his oldest sister and tried to smile and then looked at me and smiled took his last 3 breaths and past away. That day of the funeral it began raining it stopped for his service and then when we sung his favorite song (Amazing Grace) it started raining again lightly as if he was crying. This is in loving memory of my father may he live foreve in me. Love ya Daddy

One of the best friends a person could ever have. I miss you very much Val but I know you with the One who loves you the most. Our Father up in Heaven. Looking forward to seeing you, when ever that joyous day comes when My Father calls me home.

Wow, its almost our birthday. It is very sad not having you here anymore. I think about you all of the time. i miss you a lot. I never got to say goodbye. i wish I was able to see you one more time. Even though you cant be with us physically, you will always be remembered in our hearts. My memories is the only place that I can see you now. Its weird, i have the opportunity to say anything I want right now but I cant find the words to express how I feel. Just know that I may want to stop grieving for you, but I will never let myself forget all of the wonderful memories. I know I wont see you for a long time. you died to young man. It wasn't yours or Richs time. But R.I.P. and I'll see you when I get there. Until then, i love you boy.

I Am Waiting for You in the Sky When I must Leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrows to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all the things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days But fill each walking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I turn will comfort you and hold you near, A never,never be afraid to die For I am waiting for you in the sky !

The Clock Of Life Is Wound But Once And No Man/Woman Has The Power To Tell Just When The Hands Will Stop On What Day Or What Hour. Now Is The Time You Have So Live It With A Will Don't Wait Until Tomorrow The Hands May Then Be Still.

Julie sweet Julie, I wish you could have stayed
I wish that God didn't take you away.
I know you're in heaven with your baby girl,
surrounded by angels and clouds that swirl!

God must have needed sunshine that day
Why else would He take you? Up there to play?
Bet you're sitting on the clouds, little Allie by your side,
With grandpa, grandma and Uncle Doug as your guides.

Growing up you were always my little sister,
We laughed, we cried and sometimes were sinister.
I always thought we would grow old gracefully,
But God changed all that much too quickly.

It's been almost two years, I still cry a lot.
Why does it feel like the tears will never stop?
Our lives still go on day by day,
Knowing that you are not so very far away.

I know I never lost you, you're in my heart you see.
That's where I keep your love and memory.
Because when I feel lost, like nobody cares
I just think of you and your huggable bears.

Mom I knew the time had come for you to say good by and I know dad was waiting for you. Wow I really miss the two of you! You may not have known it then, but I am sure you know now how much you were and are still loved. I wish the kids could have been able to really get to know you. Lonnie remembers you dad but Leland doesn't. He tries hard to pretend that he knew who you were but I know the little guy doesn't. There was just so much to say and do that I guess will have to wait for a later date. My heart hurts mom that you were not able to see the kids one more time. I was looking foreward to that more than anyone. Lonnie says hi and sends his love. Take care of each other and keep an ever watchful eye on Bernardo. He is really feeling your loss. Love always, Teresa

A wonderful grandfather, and fill in dad I was able to learn a lot from you you will always be in my heart thank you

"La vie... que peut-on dire de cette chose qui nous est prêtée et que pourtant nous avons tout de misère à contrôler. Beaucoup d'obstacles elle nous tend, sans que l'on comprenne ce qui nous attend. Injuste et traître elle peut être, frappant sa foudre sur nous au moment où le moins on s'y attends. Beaucoup de larmes elle a causées, en nous enlevant des êtres tant aimés. Colérique elle nous a rendu, en agissant comme si l'on était des perdus." Annabelle

Cher Papa, Tu nous a quitté si rapidement que nous avons peine à y croire. Tant de choses restaient à dire. Aujourd'hui nous savons que tu es bien, avec ceux que tu aimais, et que tu attends maintenant ceux que tu as si bien aimés. Que de beaux et bons souvenirs resteront gravés dans nos coeurs tendres d'enfants. À tous les jours, une douce pensée pour toi fleurira le jardin d'amour de nos coeurs. Continue à veiller sur ton épouse Berthe, tes enfants ainsi que tes petits-enfants qui te chérissent éternellement. Nous t'aimons tant.
