My favorite aunt! I hope you and mom are having fun up there.....love,marlene

Dad, it has been almost nine years you left us. I know you are always looking down on us. I still wonder why you had to go so young. I miss you. I think I would have made you proud of me, I finished college. I have an AA degree, and an AS degree, and I will be entering nursing school soon. You are what has brought me so far in my life. I remember one of our talks, when you told me if I wanted something, I had to go and get it, do it, and work hard. You told me talking about it is great, but doing it is what counts. I just no that you will be looking down at me when I get my nursing degree.

On another note, your little angel Amber, and Corey and Raymond, they have never forgotten you. love you dad.

To a man of few words but many smiles. I miss you Dad. I wish you could have seen my lil girl come into this world. You'd be so proud. Rest in peace and make the angels laugh.

Dad, we were never very close but I wish you weren't taken away from us so soon. You never had the chance to see your newest grandaughters, my Nina and your son's lil girl Micala. I know your watching above us and can see them growing. I miss your jokes and wisecracks, you never failed to make everyone smile. Something I didn't say too often was I love you, I hope you knew that in your heart. We all miss you dearly. your babygirl, Veronica.

My heart aches for the loss of my son Brandon. I was often angry with him for his reckless behavior but I always loved him - very much. Brandon died of inhalant abuse. He was always an "edge rider" - tempting fate. Just once too often. Brandon was a handsome, articulate, intelligent (though he didn't want anyone to know this) and charming young man. His smile could light my darkest hours. I will miss him every day of my life. I love you Brandon.

Our Angel baby born sleeping you are the most beautiful baby in the world, mummy and daddy miss you more than anything, if all our love and tears could bring you back you would be here.

Cradled for moments
loved and cherished
forever, forgotten
NEVER!!!

In memory of my beautiful son,David,we had you with us for such a short time, but I cherish every moment we had together. You died and a part of my heart died with you. I know you are happy where you are, and that one day I will see you again, and we will do the things we didn't have the time for, together. Until then my Angel look after your family for me, and remember that I will love and miss you every day, till we meet again. Then there will be no more tears and pain, just love and happiness for us both, mammy xxxx

Beloved son, brother, friend. To those who knew and loved hi, his memory will never grow old. I miss you,son.

Ed was a great person and will be sadly missed by family and friends.

God hath not promised
Skies of blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way.
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love...

Bert was a kind man who worked hard to give his family everything he did not have. He was a good friend who you could count on for anything. He was very loyal and generous. He loved his children very much as they did him. As for me I guess he was my hero. I loved him more that I can say. I admired his strength and I never wanted to loose his respect. He meant the world to me as we had been married 20 years. He left us suddenly as he was here one minute laughing and the next he wasn't. He lived life the way he wanted and the song "My Way" sums him up. He belived in God, hard work to get what you wanted and needed, and honesty. He believed that this Country was based on hard work and that anything was achievable if you wanted to put forth the effort to get it. He will be sadly missed by me and our children as well as his brothers, sisters, friends and many relatives. Bert we love you so much. The Heavenly Father will keep you safe until we can see you again. I Love You, JoAnn

Jim Roberts was good man he was love by all, He love his family ,his job .All the thing he could do, for every one, he will be miss by his wife ,grandchilds his sisters, ( God Love You)

He was born in Norfolk, NE and grew up there and in Delaware and Oregon before returning to Crofton, Ne in 1949. He graduated from Crofton High School in 1956. He then worked for Freeman Co. in Yankton,S.D. for a short time before entering the U.S. Army. He returned to Yankton and worked for Morgan Manufacturing. He worked there for 29 years and at the time of his death was vice president of sales. He was a member of the Antique Auto Club of Yankton. He is survived by two sons: Troy and John R. both of Yankton; two grandchildren; one sister, Lois (Gene) Beverlin of Yankton and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters and one brother.

Ed was born in West Ridge, Arkansas on May 13, 1940 and then grew up in Dyess, Arkansas a few miles over from West Ridge. He went to school there with the Cashs (Tommy and Johnny Cash),he always said they were his claim to fame. He went in the Marine Corps and served 6 years. In 1963, House of Ceramics in Memphis, Tn. hired him to open a plant in Jacksonville, Florida for manufacturing liquid clay (slip). This has since been named Ex-Cel, Inc.. He managed this plant from 1963 until his death. He became known internationally in the ceramic business and was referred to as the "Mud King". He raised two daughters, which he saw his dream for them come true, which was, they get a good education. The oldest, Michelle, graduated from Jacksonville University with degrees in Biology and Chemistry. The youngest, Melissa, graduated from Bob Jones University with a masters in Special Ed. He loved being a grandparent to our two grandsons, Billy and Michael. The death of our third grandson, Joey, at 2 1/2 months was a hurt he never got over. I hope that at least he is there holding our grandbaby now. He was an avid gardener and always collecting and planting unusual plants in our yard. He has left me with a paradise in our yard to remember him by. He was truly my hero and the love of my life just like the song we had played at his service "Wind Beneath My Wings". He will always be remembered for his smile. Ed we miss you more each day. Your Loving Wife Bunnie

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

Shannon, a fun-loving teenage girl, was always determined to become an actress. She was my friend and classmate. As an average Sophomore at an all-girl Catholic High School in Los Angeles, she was loved by all who knew her. In December of 1999, she began to get sick with what she thought was a bad flu. It turned out to be Leukemia which she had battled with as a child and thought she had forever overcome. As her condition worsened, she never lost faith. The girls at our school had prayer services for her and work pink and yellow ribbons in their hair (Shannon's favorite colors). The Wednesday before she died she was Confirmed in her hospital bed. No one was expecting her to die- not even her doctors. That Monday, was her last. She was surrounded by her loving mother and father, her 10 year old sister, her priest and several family friends. She passed away quietly that afternoon. She was only 15. Our entire school was devestated at the loss of our dear friend. The majority of the school attended her already crowded funeral. There wasn't a dry face in the crowd. Today she is remembered frequently at school with the Annual Shannon Roberts Award which is given to a sophomore who displays Shannon's love of the theatre and constant caring heart. She is also remembered at frequent memorial services prepared by her classmates.

We miss you so much Shannon! We love you!!!

My beloved Father-you gave me strength, courage and the everlasting will to "Never Be A Quitter!". May you rest in the Garden of Peace and Soar with the Angels! You are in my heart and live with me daily. Thank you for being YOU! Your daughter, Lethia Jo

You, our angel in heaven, were the most special sister, daughter and mother. Your family loves you and misses you terribly. Please watch over our family and be our Guardian Angel. Oh, how we wish that the terrible cancer that took you over, could have never found you! We know you are in a better place, but we miss you very much. We love you Pam!

Dad, I knew how proud you were of me - but did you ever know how proud I was of you? You were always there: you were the closest friend I have ever had or ever will have. You were there for me all through school, University and afterwards, and were always by my side when I needed you. Now it is almost more than I can bear to experience a Wednesday night without having a few pints with you and setting the world to rights. I will always miss being able to show you my own kids - you'd have been as good a grandfather to them as you were a father to me. Since that day in January there has not been a day that I have not thought about you... you touched on every aspect of my life: I think of you when I drive a car, when I work and play, when I eat and sleep. Do you know there is not one thing I regret - you knew everything, all my hopes and fears, plans and ideas - everything. It is only now with what people said at the funeral and afterwards that I realise how close you were to me - you were my best friend, and I thought that everyone had that with heir father. Now I know different - I now know how much other people wished that they had with their father or son what we had. I am so glad that you got to meet Vanessa... if you hadn't I don't think I would be able to cope. All that remains is for me to be as good a father to my kids as you were to me. Goodbye Dad, Your son, James

We will never forget our Father, Though the years pass swiftly by, Though changes come to all of us, Dad's life remains still by our sides.

Dear Kristi,

I just want to tell you how much I miss you and I love you.

You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. You were also like a big sister to me and I thank you for always being there for me. I was deeply saddened when you passed away in 1994, but I remember all the good times we had and I smile whenever I think of those times. I feel very happy that you are now watching over me and that you are on my side!!

We all miss you Kristi, but we also know that you lived everyday of your 24 years of life to the fullest.

You will always live in our hearts!

Dear Grama Martha, You were a proud Norweigan. You loved your family. You loved to sing your songs. You loved to teach us your Norweigan sayings and prayers. My favorite memory of you was when I was a little girl at the Sons of Norway Summer Home in Lake Villa. You and I would walk the valley and pick wildflowers together. I remember it so clearly and it was 25 years ago. Grama I wanted to talk about my memories of you at your service, but I would've cried all through it. I made your floral arrangements in your favorite color red. I hope you liked them. We miss you, and we are taking good care of Grampa, "your Bill". He misses you deeply and will probably be meeting you shortly. I know you will greet him with kisses. May you rest in peace. I love you Gram. Love Heidi

Cousin Sandi aka Coo-Coo Nut, its been six years this year and it's still hard for me to accept you are gone. I miss you more than you'll ever know. I feel as if you gave your life when you did so that my unborn child could survive. I look at him and sometimes feel like your speaking thru him, in away I feel you are his guardian angel. You have so many relatives who greive for you every day. God Bless You where you are now and may you always be at Peace. Jesus has a very special angel, he has you. We love you and miss you and think of you always. Bill, Brenda, Robert and Brandon

My darling Memere; I want to thank you for making me the woman that I am. Without your influence I don't know what or where I would be. You taught me how to love. You taught me right from wrong and how to be good. I feel you guiding me when I'm unsure and I know you are always with me in everything I do. You were the only one who really knew ME and loved me for myself. I wish you had told me about your illness. I don't know if there was anything I could have done for you, but there is nothing I wouldn't have done. I know you kept your promise and wrote me THE LETTER, but I never got it. We both know who got it. I still miss you so much, it feels like only yesterday that you left us. I pray to GOD that you know just how much you are loved and missed. Love always Roxanne

Beloved father of Monica,Boycea and Lamont.
Loving husband of Elaine.
Boyce better known as dad by all who know him was a gifted public speaker. Dad traveled throught the country teaching and speaking on self-motivation. He believed ing the power of selfactualization...."if you can see it , and believe it you can achieve it" was his motto and these were words he lived by and made his family live by also.
Boyce was a well loved man and he will be missed dearly.

I lost my dear sister Ingrid to Progressive MS. I feel so sad about this. We were getting to know each other as sisters again after being estranged for 13 years. We had developed a good relationship. She lived in a home the last three years of her life.

Robinson James John 9 May 1912-12 April 1972. Dad you have been gone many years now. But we still miss you as if it was yesterday. at least now mum has joined you i hope you have met again and started again were you left off. here's sending you all our love Ann Wayne Geraldine Steve Michele Gary Amy Andrew

Jeff was a singer/songwriter/actor/dancer. He appeared in several Broadway shows, including Evita and West Side Story. We knew him as a voice teacher, to children of all ages. He worked us hard and taught us to let go of the stresses that caused us tension and affected our music. In doing so, he taught us all to deal with stress. He taught me that I have the power to change my life, at a time when I needed to hear that. In listening to me talk out my tension, he became a dear friend to me, just as he did to the other children at our school. It's been over 10 years now since we lost him. He is still remembered, because he made such a huge difference in all our lives. He brought us music and friendship, and taught us to work through the rough spots in our music and in our lives. He was a beautiful soul, always trying to improve himself and the lives of those around him.

John F. Robinson, Daddy, Grandpa John, whatever he was called, he was a loving and caring man, who cared about his family and friends, and was loved by many. He will always be remembered.

I hope I will always be able to feel your presence this time of the year as much as I have recently. Loving you as always...

Troy was 16 when he died at home of Cancer. He was my nephew but more importantly he shared a birthday with my daughter. Troy would have grown to become an adult that his parents would have been proud of. He was already a teenager that they were very proud of. He knew he was dying but never said a word to anyone because he didn't want them to worry or be sad for him. Troy loved children and wanted to have a career that had football and kids in it. Before he died, he was able to spend an afternoon with Steve Young of the 49ers. He loved the pictures of he and Steve. His mom and dad love those pictures today. That day meant so much to Troy because he was able to forget about his health for a few short hours. When he lost his hair during his first round with chemo, he returned to school to find the entire football team had shaved their heads. They did this so Troy wouldn't feel weird about being bald. Not only was Troy special, he surrounded himself with special friends. Troy, You are forever in our thoughts, especially on OCT. 24th! You will be with us forever. Your death has left a big hole in our hearts and in the hearts of your family. We love you!

In loving Memory of my Little Man "Manny"! Tyler will forever be in our hearts. Mommy misses you soo much! I love you Ty! You are the Heart of my Heart!

P lace your hand on your heart
R est it there for a minute
E very beat you feel
S hould remind you
T yler & I are in it
Y ou're never alone
N ever without an angel

T ogether we had to be
Y es even in eternity
L ove is all we remember
E verything we've surrendered

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY TWO BEAUTIFUL BOYS WHO WENT HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD TYLER ROBERT ROBINSON AGE 7 MARCH 25,2007 AND PRESTYN WALKER ROBINSON AGE 6 MARCH 27,2007.

Loved the outdoors, farming and life itself. Lost the two year battle with cancer. Sadly missed by Mom and sister, Dayna.

To my loving husband,
I love you with all my heart
And miss you every day and only
wish i could have changed that day.
You touched so many lives, and so
many people Young and old.
Love always, Linda your wife.

She was a really good Mum. We will miss her for ever.

Dearest Mom,
I just wanted to tell the world how much I love you, and miss you! I wanted you to know that on May 1,2001
The people who were responsible for your death were held accountable for their actions, and that justice was served.
Now you will be able to rest in peace in the hands of our Lord, wait for me. I am coming home soon, I love you!
Your loving daughter,
Cookie

Dad-
I had no idea just how terribly I would miss you after you'd gone, but I do miss you so much every day. You were my advisor, my friend, and someone that I trusted more than anyone else in the world. Now there is no one to take your place, and I wish you were back! I'm glad you went to the next level, though, for your body was holding you back and we both knew you couldn't hold out forever in that condition.
Some people may not have known you like I did, but I'm so grateful that I got the opportunity to spend the last years of your life with you. You taught me so much- about life, about my mother, about money, about science, and I value all that I learned while we were together.
Thank you also, Dad, for making me the sole heir of your few belongings. It was hard for the others to handle, but you knew that I have needed to be #1 at least once in my life and you gave me that moment. I gave your children whatever they asked for, though, Dad, and I think you would have been proud at how I handled things.
Leslie has your book and she said she will get it published, and I believe her. It may take another 10 years but she is tenacious like you were and she will get the job done to your requirements.
I love you, Dad, and I wish you the best wherever you are.
I think of you often, and hope your new world is better than the one you left behind. Your Loving Daughter, Ader

This gentle, brilliant, loving soul changed channels. Brother, son, husband, and friend to all living things, Skip had a soul so bountiful even he didn't know the true magnitude of who he was. He has found the peace that passeth understanding, now, and for that we, his closest mates, are truly at peace ourselves. We love you, Skip. Thank you for being in our lives and hearts forever.

I feel kind of odd...posting a letter that can't actually be read. I mean, your influence was tremendous, and there are those who carry on your efforts, but they can't come close to the castles that you built. Don Cabellero, Lynx...gone. All gone! Thank God for ENT, and Paul Newman, and Hella. But, alas, they cannot compare. Gone before their time. It makes my leaves ache, but I know I must move on. I must.

Toria, It's been two days since your mom came to see us. We were all in the gym doing "peppers." She told us that you had been in an accident with Jay and that you weren't going to make it. Coach canceled practice immediately and we crammed into 3 cars and went to the hospital. You died 2 minutes before we got there. There's so much we never got to do. We're going to state this year, Tori. This is what we've worked for since freshman year, and now, senior year, you've left us. We can't explain it, and we're not going to try. We just want you and your family to know how grateful we are to have had you in our lives at all. So here's some letters from "the girls": I love you so much TT. I hate not being able to call you or see you or go out with you. Thank you for being my friend. --Lindsey-- We miss you Tori. Why'd you leave us so soon? We know you're on your way to heaven. "Call us when you get there, kay?" Love you "Spikey" --Cristy Jo, Jazmin, and Manda We have and will continue to look up to you Toria. You are an awesome person, an awesome volleyball player, and a great encouragement. Thanks for being there. Much love, TT. --Jenny, Kyra, Megan, and Kindra Tori, I miss you so much. You were my best friend and my biggest fan. We made a great team! I know you loved everyone, and I admired your compassion. I admired your grace and elegance, on and off the court, and the way you couldn't see the bad in anything. You'll always be my "light in shining kneepads." Thanx for being my inspiration and my best friend. I love you and miss you. Remember, we don't say goodbye!!! Til' we meet at the movies, Angel. --Dayna-- Greendale High School Demons Forever!!! Co-Captains(and best friends): Toria "Spikey" and Dayna "Bubbles" Seniors: Toria "Spikey" , Dayna "Bubbles", Kindra "KyKy", Megan "Diggit", and Kyra "Energizer". Juniors: Cristy Jo"CJfall", Jazmin"Jerky", Manda "MoMo", and Jenny "Jolly" Sophomore:(who we love so much, baby!) Lindsey "LaLa" Thanks for being our friend and our "Spikey". We loved you when you were here, and we'll miss you now that you're gone, and the one thing that won't ever change is!?!?!" We'll always be a team!! Toria's favorite pre-game cheer: Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo!! You got's to be a Demon or you got's to go. Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo baby, Yo!! You got's to be a Demon or you got's to go. See you later, crocodile!! Love: The entire student body and Greendale High School, especially the varsity volleyball team, and your best friend Dayna.

My beloved Aunt Dorothy passed away this morning after a recent stroke. She has been suffering with Alzheimers for the past five years or so and moved from Mass to Penn to be closer to her daughter a few years ago. Since that time I have missed her tremendously. I used to enjoy so many nice times with my aunt that I missed her even more when she had to move away. I feel at peace today and not at all sad that she is now in heaven with her best friend, Josephine Barry, my beloved Nana who has had her very own memorial on this much appreciated site since 1992. My very own guardian angel now has her long missed companion. If there is a shopping mall in heaven, I know those two will be on their way.

Do not stand at my grave and weepI am not there.I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond's gilt on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn's rain.When you awaken in the morning's hush,I am the swift uplifting rushof quiet birds in circled flightI am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not stand at my grave and cry;I am not there.I did not die.

Vero, gracias por haberme dejado ser parte de tu vida, sos la mejor persona que conocí, te extraño muchísimo. Siempre serás mi mejor amiga. Te quiero un montón. Tu amiga por siempre, Virginia.

Andy, the four years and four months that I knew you made me a better person. We had a lot of things in common and I am glad that these things made us friends. We had our differences, too, but that's what made our friendship stronger and more special. I still have all your letters and I remember all the good times and bad times that we wrote to each other about. I'm glad that I got to meet you before you left this world. I valued your friendship. God bless you Andy. You are the best friend I've ever had. Scott L. Spencer

To a dearly grandmother from her grandson

It has only been six weeks, and we still find it hard to accept your absence. Our family is smaller, and it will never be complete without you and Sammy. We will be happy and enjoy life, since that is what you would want us to do. "We must be still and still moving into another intensity for a further union, a deeper communion through the dark cold and empty desolation, the wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters of the petrel and the porpoise. In the end is my beginning." --Hope, Joel, Danny, Abel,and the grandkids, Joshua, Mari, Eden and Angel

Passed away of complications due to AIDS. Loving husband of Dawn, adored father of Nicholas (age 18mos.) My hope is that you're finally at peace, my love. No more pain...no more suffering...and no more of that infernal medication.

I can just picture you...Heaven is a big sports bar...like the one we used to go to...and you shooting pool (and finally winning, because I'm not there!)...and you've got a Bud in one hand, a cigarette in the other. I miss you...and I love you more than words will ever describe.

You are still the most loving person i have ever met, you will always be on my mind and heart as a mother and as a friend.

Jamie was a loving friend,wife and mother. I will always miss her. I know right now she is in a better place and i wish i could be with her but the time will come when im with her. miss and love you lots jamie.

Chris was a kind and gentle young man who was the light of our lives. We had him for only 16 years, but he taught us so much about life.

Childhood cancer took him from us in a period of 9 months, but during that time we saw him grow from a goofy, fun loving kid to a very mature man who spoke of his destiny. How many of us will know our destiny at 70 or 80?

His last wishes were that other kids might benefit from the research that he had been a part of. "What greater love than this, to give up your life for your friends." This verse is what he lived.

We miss him so.

This is to my Dad, the most wonderful man I ever knew… God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, "Peace Be Thine" It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you Home!! I will forever miss my Dad, Your Daughter, Mara

You will always be my hero.I miss you daddy.
Love your little girl,
Nicole Noel

When I knew her, she was brilliant, joyful, turbulent, beautiful. I wanted to be a scientist; so did she; she made it. Though I'd not seen her in nearly twenty years, not a day went by that I did not think of her. When at last I sought her out, I learned she'd ended her life years before. Once again she changed my life. Not a day will go by that I won't pray for her.

Mom, You were my best friend and my teacher. I can't believe all that I have learned from you. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you. I miss you with all of my heart. I love you. Ron

Mom, You were my best friend and my teacher. I can't Mom, You were my best friend and my teacher. I can't believe all that I have learned from you. Not a day
goes by where I don't think about you. I miss you with all of my heart. I love you. Ron

Dad I miss you even after thirteen years, You were wise, gentle and kind nothing else can be said about a person that is more important.. Love your son Tracy

In loving rememberance of the best mother a son and daughter could have. One who was always there and took the time to talk to us, encourage us, and love us. You are missed and loved every day of our lives. You will always be a part of us and with us in spirit. Your loving son and daughter-Doyle Strange and Dorothy Kopp.

Heather's joy filled everyone around her. She could open her arms wide and proclaim how wonderful even the rainy days were. Her smile was contagious. She could make a friend in minutes. She used compassion as a tool to comfort, welcome, and encourage others. Her spirit continues on in the lives of all she loved, and all who loved her.

Grandma, I hardly knew you. I wish I had gotten to know you better. I hope you know, wherever you are, that you are missed and that I think of you often. Rest in peace. Love always - your great-granddaughter, Nathalie

Lora Ann Rogers was one of the most beautiful people I had ever met. At 14, she was wise beyond her years. She was my friend in Junior High even though I was a geek and she was one of the most popular girls around. I have never forgotten her. In Aug of this year I went home to find her grave. It took me 28 years to find her. I was never allowed to attend her funeral. I have always felt an emptiness inside. Her death, and the tragedy behind it have haunted me most of my life.

You left us too soon.Everyone who knew you misses you.We will always love you.
DAD,MOM,MIKE,and KIM

She was a nice old woman, whom I met when I was 9-10 years old. I used to always go down the street from my parents' home to visit her. When my mother told me that she had died, I felt devastated.

As the fourth anniversary of the death of my father approaches, I am filled with fond memories and great strength. I was with my father when he passed away and he gave me one final gift...the understanding that death is another phase...a welcomed journey. I miss you!

I would like to take this time to remember my fatherEdwin Micheal Roker. His life was cut short at 28 years old. I never really got to know him, but I will always remember him and love him.

..I am tired of tears and laughter.. ..or what may come here after.. ..I am weary of days and hours.. ..desires, dreams and powers.. ..although it makes me weep.. ..it is you.. ..I want to keep..

For my mother, I miss you more than anything.

Dearest grandpa always on our minds at this time of the year. You were so proud of your service to our country that Memorial Day and Veterans Day are special reminders of the person you were, though a day does not pass without wishing you had been here to see your third great-grandchild. I go to your grave and hope that you heard me when I told you for the last time that I love you. I always will.

Sam, my estranged friend, I hope now you are in peace, however and whyever you died. I wish we hadn't let things go...maybe that would have changed things. Since all that is behind you now, all that matters is a friendship that will not be forgotten.
God Bless.
your friend forever, Lisa

Many people will walk in and out of your life, But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Loving Grandfather,and one of the best Italian singers.

"Yes, Anastasia"

I know what you want, the magpies have come
If you know me so well, then tell me which hand I use
Saw her there in a resteraunt
Poppy, don't go
I know your mother was the good one
But Poppy don't go
I'll take you home
Show me the things I've been missing
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the way to get back to the garden
Show me the way to get around the get around
Show me the way to button up Buttons
That have forgotten they're buttons
Well we can't have that, forgetting that
Girls, what have we done to ourselves, yes
Thought I'd been through this in 1919
Counting the tears of 10,000 men
And gathered them all, but my feet are slipping
There's something we left on the window sill
There's something we left, yes
Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
Well happy birthday, her blood's on my hands
It's kind of a shame, cause I did like that dress
It's funny the things that you find in the rain
The things that you find
In the mall and in the datemines
In the knots still in her hair
On the bus I'm on the way down
All the girls seem to be there.

-Tori Amos-

To memorialize a dear and loving father. Daddy I'm going to miss you. DeeDee

Baby,
You may be gone, But you`ll never be forgotten.

See You on the other side!!!

Love,
Me

Gone away,
far away,
don't understand,
why you had to leave me.
I wonder,
every day,
if maybe, you're not that far away.

If you're listening, in heaven,
I want you to know, I didn't want you to go.

So tell me,
do angels cry?
do they ever wonder why, they died?
do they cry?
~*~We all miss and love you Amanda~*~
Love you lots
Now and Always

My darling Art; You are missed more than words can say. So many here whose lives you touched are hurting over the loss of you. Your goodness, humanity, warmth, tenderness, passion, and dedication to family, friends and me, the one who loves you so, made you the most spectacular individual in all our lives. You were perfect to me in life and now I know you are perfect in God's heart as well. No one will ever hold as strong and prevalent place in my heart, nor will they ever replace the love we had together. I pray God will keep you and I in his care until we can be together never to part. I miss you sweetheart... I'll Always Love You, Pam

Dear Mother who was here such a short time. She was a friend to all children. She has a rich and interesting heritage. From Royalty to artist. Mother was an artist, singer, writer and did what she could for those in the community who had less than she did. She loved God with all her heart. Momma loved nature and did everything she could to recycle, clean up, and help others to understand that we must clean up this earth after ourselves so when we leave here we have left it a better place, not a polluted place for the futures of all our children. Thank you for keeping our Native American Heritage alive. Momma you are missed and your kids will never be too old to call you "Momma" with all our hearts. We will see you again in the spirit world.

To my dearest little Cody, You came into our lives and made us so happy. When the doctors said you wouldn't live I cried for days hoping and praying that they where wrong. As the days went by I watch you get better then get worse. I remember telling you to fight this that we wanted to take you home. Then one day I looked at your sweet little face and relized that you were getting tired. This awful illness that you had was getting the best of you. I held you sweet had and prayed that God's will be done. Then I told you that if fighting this illness was to much that it was ok to let go. On August 21 at 11:30 am you went to live with Jesus. As I held you in my arms I knew that I was going to miss you dearly but I realized that this was the best thing for you. You are not suffering any more, son. I Love you so much and I miss you terribly. Until we meet in Heaven. Love Mommy, Daddy, Brandon and Abigail.
"He Only Takes the Best"
God saw that Cody was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around him and whispered come with me. With tear filled eyes we watch Cody suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply we could not make him stay. A golden heart has stopped beating a tired body put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

When we first found out we were expecting you, daddy and I were so excited and happy! I always knew you would be a girl (and you were!). I started collecting little pink things. I still have that box sitting here, unused. You took my heart to Heaven with you. I love and miss you every day. Someday I hope to hold you in Heaven, as I never could here on earth. I love you Gina. Mommy

He was a very beloved friend. I hope he called on the good lord, before he took his own life. Hopefully, god understood his despair. I know his family and friends wished he would have shared his shortcomings, he thought he had. He is very deeply missed by all. Ruth Ridenour

Mark I miss you so your laugh your big blue eyes and you always saying mom I love you and your kiss on my cheek I dont know what to do without you love mom

We miss you so much you were our only son kind and gentle a loving father son and brother with many friends who thought you were the greatest loved and missed by all forever and always you will be with us Mom

Aunt Ruthie, you had it rough even before you were born, but you always faced life head on, never flinching. If you couldn't do something one way, you'd find another. You were never a quitter. You managed to learn to read and to enjoy reading in spite of a learning disablity, loved your garden--the lilac bushes named John and Alice for your grandparents. You just loved life. And you left it too soon for me. Each day I keep wanting to pick up the phone and call you. But I'll see you again. Our wonderful Saviour Who was always your closest Friend, is taking care of you and you'll be in your glorified body--no longer a cripple. I love you. Until I see you again, Love, Ella

Beloved Mother and Wife, Friend to those fortunate enough to know her splendor. In sorrow we have lost you, though in joy we shall always remember you...forever.

"...a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:30 Ella Melissa Rose Duffy Weeks, born in Attica, Randolph Co., Arkansas, February 28, 1900. passed peacefully from this life on Monday, August 25th, at her daughter's home in Santa Rosa, Calif.. At 97 years, 5 months and 25 days, she was the eldest and last surviving of nine children born to Mary (Molly)Tyler Rose and Kendred W. Rose. Preceding her in death was her oldest son, Forrest Raymond Duffy. Four children remain: Zelda Higgins, Anderson, CA., Marguerite Barton,Los Altos, CA., Mildred Hodges, Santa Rosa, CA., and William H. Weeks, Jr., Leichester, England. Included in her 87 descendants are 19 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren, and 13 great-great-grandchildren. The oldest member of Santa Rosa Christian Church, she was well loved and honored as "Grandma Weeks" by old and young alike. Burial took place in Oak Mound Cemetery, Healdsburg, Calif. with her husband, William Henry Weeks, Sr..

In memory of my beloved husband. A man that represented life. He took every day and tried to live it to the fullest. To him time was to precious to waste. His and my greatest joy in life was each other. Just to be together was all we needed. He came into my life and gave me unconditional love, support, understanding and patience and made our life together beautiful and so special.

"I'm free, don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free."

Its hard to believe you are gone....but at last you are at peace. Your courage during those long years of illness simply amazes all that knew you. You never complained to anyone. Always the perfect lady, you never gossiped, you always had a kind word for everyone, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and daughter you are sorely missed by all. I miss you Mama.
Love, Miriam

From your crazy daughters who thought you should be the first of our family on the Net. A day doesn't go by when we don't think of you and your sense of humor.
Loving Mother, Daughter, Wife, Grandmother.

Rita, you passed away many years ago (late 70's/early 80's) but I will never forget You. You lost your much loved son in a horrific accident and then your beloved husband to cancer. I used to think how unfortunate you had been but you never lost your faith and love for God. Despite your loss I will always remember that you chose not to give up but to live and love the years that were left to you and you loved everybody including myself. Rita, I think of you with so much love as I am sure your family remember you. Rest in Peace my friend with your beloved husband and son till we meet again. Laraine xxx

Mom i really love you and miss you a lot. My life has turned out to be horrible with the person you chose as my father and i got stuck to live with after your death. Wish things were the other way round. Wish there was a way out. I will always remember you and love you. Your daughter Melina.

This will be your first birthday away from us. But I wanted to let you know that your family will still be getting together in your honor. Happy Birthday Dad We miss you - We love you Your children: Jim, Bonnie, Mary, Frank & Dave Your grandchildren: Kim, Laurie, Chantil, Jon, Mandy, Todd, Tina, Greg, and Peter

Vibrant, intelligent, remarkable; unfairly denied the greatness he deserved; missed by absolutely everybody who ever met him.

Remembering a much loved Auntie,
Your missed more than words can say,

How I wish I could see your face again,
How I wish I could hear you laugh,

Your forever in my thoughts.

I miss you Auntie Rose.

Love always

No words can describe how much sorrow we feel now that you have gone Mum. There is not one of us who wouldn't lay down our lives to make things different, but sadly that can not happen. We all love you and miss you so deeply. Maybe one day we will see your smiling face once again and you will make everything better, as you always have done.

Beloved father of Richard, John,Jane,Sarah,Rebecca,Emma. Words can never express the feelings of loss we all hold for you. You will always be in our thoughts. We all love and miss you very much.

To my dear dad. I never knew the real you. We weren't allowed. I do know of the example you set for me and I believe that all good things I am are due to this. You were the one who got along with most everyone. You were the one who was most loved. Why did you have to be the first to go...the first death I had to deal with in my life? I wish I had truly known you...that things had been different. I hope that there is a future place where we will meet and things will be different. I love you...all that I knew. Your daughter, Jennifer

Husband and Father

Dad, I miss you so much... your laughter and your love of life. Tennis and sculpture and orthopaedics, the ballet, the restaurants, the books and the simple pleasures of sitting at home... We all miss you and love you, mom and Jenny and Adrian and Dylan and me. I'm just happy that we shared so much, and I wish that it could have been even more. Good night, mon vieux...

"They say the lion and the lizard keep
The courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep
And Bahram, that great hunter- the wild ass
Stamps o'er his head, but cannot wake his sleep."

In loving memory of our dearly beloved son Garry who died tragically in a car accident. He had so much to live for and loved life so much. The light went out of our life when he died. Always remembered with Love. Chuck and Carol Rothwell and brother Steve. We miss you so much Gaz............

Baby Katie, We only had you for 6 months and even then it was only inside. I still cannot find the right words to express what i felt and still do, people say it gets easier, i'm not so sure, just when you think it does, you get knocked back once more. As for brothers and sisters i don't think its right, i can't handle the night. Me & daddy are not together anymore but i know he misses you as well, it's not your fault just one of those things. I just want to say goodnight sweetheart please don't ever forget us as you are gone but never ever forgotten. Lots of love Mummy.

Baba,
You are the best Baba in the world and I miss you so much. I will love you always. We are all thinking about you.
Rest in peace baba, your in pain no more.

Love you always, claire xxx

Patty-

I hope God rests your tired soul. You were a tremendous fighter whose courage I admire. You will always inspire me by your sheer will to fight. You were an extraordinary mom, and you were like my second mom. You guys are like family to me. Jono will always be looked after by me. I hope at last you have peace, no one deserves it more than you do.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,
I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and give me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while.

As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

The best loved man in Avon, Connecticut. May God rest his soul and grant him everlasting peace.

Bye, Dad. I am sorry you are buried so far away; maybe this will bring you a little nearer.

In loving memory of Gwenda Clelia, widow of Cyril ("Feather"). Beloved mother of Stephen James, grandmother of Michelle Christina and Alexandra Caroline, and mother-in-law of Maggie. Gone from us, but leaving memories, Death can never take away. Memories that will always linger, While upon this earth we stay. Nana, you will always be in our thoughts.

My Father / My Best Friend / Forever & Always

Dad -- I miss you more and more every day. I know you are at peace and pain free, and that helps to keep me smiling and remember all the good times. Know that you are never forgotten, and your memory and your lessons live on, forever.

~Forever In Our Hearts~

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon
This earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
He then took you up to Heaven with
Hands gentle and so kind.
It broke our hearts to loose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you Home.

Melanie Lynn Roxburgh died at the tender age of 16. She was the sweetest, kindest, happiest person that I ever knew. I went to the funeral and entered the room that her body lay in. People had told me that she died, but somehow I just didn't believe it! As I walked up to the casket and looked down upon her laying there lifeless, it hit me! This beautiful creature is no more. Melanie is gone! We used to look at each other with these expressions. I can't describe them. All I can say is we looked at each other and connected. But as I looked down upon her in her ungraceful state something inside me was still waiting for her to open her eyes and yell out GREG! Looking at me with wide open eyes, and an expression of suprise and liveliness. Once a face filled with character and expression, now cold and lifeless. She was just laying there. It didn't look like her. Her skin looked so cold and fake. She is gone. I will never see her again. I recall the nights we used to go out. When we got back to her house we would just stand ther for hours. In each others arms we would stand till the sun came up. I loved her. I still love her. I can't believe I broke her heart. Such a fragile flower. The funeral was among the best of sendoffs. She had so many friends that cared for her, everyone was weeping at her passing. All the memories of her and us together reminds me of our mortality. I care about all of her friends, and I hate that they have to go through this. Sean, Jessica, Sara, and especially Michelle just to name a few. I loved her, Leather pants, fuzzy sweaters, combat boots, green hair and all. She was something to be remembered. Everyone should have an experience like Melanie. I didn't even have a chance to wish her a happy 16th birthday. She was so young and innocent. Why did she have to die? Melanie, we miss you!

Farewell my father-in-law. I will sorely miss you. We will meet again in heaven. Ron.

We miss you, Irene. Go with God.

i love you and hope you have an entunal rest in slumbr the family and the people love you and the hart ache and the sorro, and the good time anthe happy times that you brought us and the good thime we had with you. whae you where with us and god bless you and we all love you and we miss you and good night and sleep tight.

My beautiful son Matthew, taken from us so soon. We miss you so much. One day we will see you again and I will see your beautiful face and smile. The day of your tragic accident has forever been in my mind. Everyday that passes I try to remember all the times we had together, from soccer to snowboarding and just to see how happy you were. This Christmas will be the hardest ever without you here. Your brother and sisters miss you very much. We talk to you everyday and I hope you hear. I know that you are safe with Dad now and watching over us. You are now our angel. I only hope you knew how much I loved you. When God took you from me he took a piece of my heart with you. My days of anger have subsided but the pain remains. Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a mother. I Love You my Dewey,my precious little boy forever. We all Love & Miss You Matt with all our hearts. Until we meet again. Love Mom,Jenny,Rich & Annie XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
