He was my friend for over twenty-five years and I miss him. He had such an incredible appetite for life that he never really believed he was going to die, he was positive he was going to beat the cancer that killed him.

The last time I saw him was two days before he died. I told him that I loved him and tried to hide my tears because he still wouldn't admit he was dying. He told me not to be so upset, he was going to be fine as soon as he could gain back a little weight. I wanted to tell him how much I was going to miss him and how much I loved him, but he wouldn't allow any of his friends to bring up the subject. Its taken a long time for a lot of us to work that out. It was the only time Henry ever cheated anyone.

Dear Daddy,
Oh, how I miss you... You could never imagine how much..but I guess you see how much.. I need you now more than ever..but in some ways I am glad you are with Dina so she's not alone. It's just not the same without you. Everything is changed...But someday we'll all be together again..But in the meantime, thanks for the rainbows... Now I know what they mean... Keep watching over Anthony with Dina..I just can't do it alone.
I love and miss you forever and always,
Your daughter Linda

My Dearest Mother
You gave so much and asked not for yourself
I remember your soft hands and warm smile
That made me feel so safe and loved
Never pampering yourself but making certain
We were all taken care of so well
You often told me how strong a mother's love was
And little did I understand
But you knew...that and so much more
About life
I yearn for your love again
And cry
And smile
As I look at reminders of you
I will never feel that kind of love again
So loneliness
And emptiness
Will remain inside me until
That day you will hold me again
Your loving daughter

Lieve mam,

Ik mis je verschrikkelijk.
Ik ben je hartstikke dankbaar voor wat je voor me hebt gedaan in mijn leven.
Als ik mijn leven nog eens over mocht doen, dan hoop ik dat jij weer mijn moeder mag zijn.
Tot over vele jaren, dan zullen we weer samen zijn.

Dag poes.......

Tony, a lovng husband and father died to young, but no longer in pain. You are missed each and every day. You are always in our thoughts in our hearts and will never be gone. Life goes on and so do you. You will always be loved and forever missed.
Sue

He was our son whom we never heard his first cry. Or have him look into our eyes.Timothy was with me for six months but to me it was a life time. He has one sister and two brothers who never got to see him. Or play with him and just be big sister and brothers to him. His loss is with all of us every day and will be until we can be with him. We know Timothy is with family and friends who love him and care for him until we can be with him. He will always be in our hearts. His memory and love is always alive in all of us (mommy,daddy,elizabeth,christopher,and kenny).

To My Dear Cathy,
I have missed you lots. I have made a Memorial book in your honor. In fact, 2 books. I recently found a angel ring for my finger to be more close to you. No one has ever told me how difficult it was going to be missing you.
I rather be up there, so I wouldn't feel very sad all the time. It took a long time to get over hating God so much for taking you so too soon. You didn't have time to open your eyes or anything. In many ways I had wished you would have gone, before I given birth to you. It would of been easier for me. I have to live in this for God for saken world. It gotten wickered every day. I have missed you more than life itself.I love you. I love you. I only hope you know that. I just wished I had a better picture of you.
I don't. Your brother doesn't know anything about you.
Don't remember you at all. He was only 1 when you passed away. I never had any other kids, because I didn't want to replace you. You were a specail baby to me, just like your brother. You be 26 years old by now. You probably never would of grew up, you were a very sick baby. So sick I wished God would of taken you much sooner. So any way if I don't get to get back to this web page, I'll see you in heaven-not too soon for me. I can't wait! I want you in my arms! I love you my beloved Cathy! Ilove you! I love You!

Auf Wiedersehen, Mama.

Harry I miss you so much until the day we meet again. Not one day goes by when I don't miss and love you. You will always be the little boy that I always wanted and never had the chance to have. The one time that I held you was the most precious time in my life. I will always cherish it and remember it. In my heart and in my mind, I take you and play with you. I will always be your Mommy and wanted to protect you but I had no way of doing that. I am sorry! But now in the Kingdom of Heaven you are protected and playing with the other little Angels.

Have peace my love and comfort in knowing that one day we shall meet again. Mommy

I loved you more than words could ever explain!
Love, Mom

He was a good friend.

FADED ROSE

A cold winter breeze blows
in a chilly November's night--
cloudy, sad looking.
It matches my mood
as tears fight to fall.

I sit wondering
of a twist of fate
forever questioning.

oh well, I'm here
waiting, thinking
reflecting on a life
I barely knew.
So full of life . . .
. . . eagle scout . . .
. . . band member . . .
. . . hnor student . . . .

Snatches of conversations
filling in the pieces
that I don't know.

Memories.
I met him a
couple of times,
and I liked
what I saw.

That zest for life
that shown in his eyes,

that prankful zeal
sparkling in his being.

And under it all
I sensed a great caring
hidden from view
perhaps or perhaps not.

I didn't know him well enough
to say for sure.

But he treated me well
giving a friendly smile.

this poem perhaps
is a small thing--
my thoughts, my feelings.
I grieve with you,
and you'll be in my prayers.

Jeff was suddenly taken from us, along with his brother Tommy and best friend Rod Spaulding, on Saturday, November 15 in Bright, Indiana. The three of them were having a great time that night. I pray that Jeff didn't suffer during the time he was conscious. Not knowing all the details is hard, but the more I learn, the harder it is to make sense of it all. I hope that all their friends, family, and those who were touched by such loving, fun, caring people will always remember the times we smiled with them, instead of the time we've spent crying for our loss. Jeff was very dear to me and every day I miss his smile, his smirk, his beautiful eyes. His hopes and dreams were all within his reach. Thanks to their families for sharing the blessing of each: Jeffry, Thomas, and Rodney. Look to God for comfort and to each other to remember and honor them. ~Melanie

Tommy was engaged to be married. Abby, you suffer the greatest loss. Remember all the dreams you and Tommy shared and honor him by striving to obtain them anyway. He wants you to be happy. Jeff, Tom, and Rod are with us and with each other. Remember their love and share it, as they did.

In loving memory of my grandmother Caroline. She died when I was sixteen but I will never forget her and often still dream about her. I can't cry as hard in real life as I can when I dream of her.

She could do everything. She could cook, bake, sew like you wouldn't believe, quilt, she was a devoted wife and mother to William C. and kids Joan J. and William jr.

When my parents were splitting up in 1968, she was my role model. She was stable, loving and secure. I can only hope that I am somewhat like her. I named my daughter Caroline after her.

God bless you grandma . . . I'll see you again.

Love, Jacqueline

Thinking of you on your birthday. We miss you and we
love you. You were the greatest grandpa, I cannot believe how lucky I was to have had you in my life. I know you are taking care of my Chrislyn, your great- grand-daughter!

Forever in My Heart

Brandi (grand-daughter), Chris(grandson in law),
your great grandchildren: Briclyn and Brayson

Miss you mom ..... big time!

Jason was a wonderful young man that pleased everyone that he every came into contact with. He has had a long battle with Cerebral Palsy and this morning it finally took his life. Even though the illness limited what he could do his heart made up for it all. Jason is from Cincinnati Ohio and will be missed by the world. May you finally rest in peace, Love your Uncle Don.

Pat'o Mike You were the best brother and hugger a person could have. I'll miss you always Karen

The following was written by Kristen, one of 8 granddaughters, who was 18 at the time of Dad's death, almost one year ago.

Almost fifty years of child births, holidays and weddings end and we realize that you have lived as a witness to the magic of life. You held the family together as one with your love, kindness and friendship. You taught your daughters, sons and grandchildren to love and respect one another no matter what circumstances arise. Our individual lives were vivid within your mind and you loved no one person any less or more. We were all the same in your eyes. As you pass on as our guardian and strength throughout life, your memories now fill our minds with laughter and joy. Each of us will carry on our personal thoughts of happiness along with them. Your life has not ended, as you are carried on in our hearts as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. And we will never truly say goodbye, for we all have a bond stronger than death, we are family. We love you.

We have survived the first year. We miss you terribly and wonder if that will ever change. But to look at all of us is to know that you are a part of each and every one of us --- even your sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. You are in our prayers. We know you will watch over us and keep us safe. Our love endures -- Jean (Wife); Richard and Michael (Sons); Cynthia, Melinda, Valerie, Kimberly and Pamela (Daughters); Vince, Paul, Rob and Paul (Sons-in-law); Rose (Daughter-in-law); Remy, Martine, Kristen, Jennifer, Laura, Jacquelyn, Megan, Sarah and Emma (Grandchildren); and all future grandchildren.

Although I cannot say much about you, as I did not know you that well, I will say this: You were the best thing that ever happened to Jeff, and the morning the both of you were taken away from us, all of our lives changed. Although there is much to be sad about, I guess some comfort comes in knowing that you and Jeff entered eternity together. I suppose that, although your engagement was tragically cut short, you are still together, you and Jeff, and you can have a marriage made in heaven. We all miss you and love you, and we count the days until we can join you up above. As your mother said, "Jennifer, I'm not going to say goodbye, because I know I will see you again."

You chose to end your life because of the intense inner turmoil you struggled with. I want you to know that I understand and I will always Love You. I will help with your children and let them know what a good person you really were. I know you are at peace and will watch over us forever. Every step we take, every move we make, every single day, every time we pray, we'll be missing you. Until we meet again. Peace! Love, Mom & Dad Reenie, Rob, Heather, Kira, and precious Hannah!

Lieve pappa. Het is nu al ruim 6 jaar geleden dat je bent overleden. Er is in die tijd erg veel gebeurden ondertussen heb je gezeldschap gekregen van Unianne en mamma. Ik hoop dat jullie elkaar daar ook echt vinden en misschien hebben jullie elkaar allang gevonden. Je weetvast weldat ik ondertussen ben getrouwd en een schat van een zoon heb gekregen. Hij heet Eric-Jan en heeft blonde haartjes enhij begint al een aardige bolle kop te krijgen. Je begrijpt natuurlijk wel dat hij naar jou vernoemt is . Ik ben erg benieuwd of jij hem kan zien vanaf waar jij bent. ik weet bijna zeker van welen ook dat je hem beschermt net als je dat bij doet. Lieve pappa ik hoop dat ik in dit leven nog is met je kan praten want ik heb nog een heleboel te leren over het leven. Ik wil ook nog zeggen dat het me spijt dat ik zo met mezelf bezig was toen jij zo ziek was.Natuurlijk was ik ook erg gespannen maarik heb wel eens iets gezegd waar ik nu nog vaak aan moet denken en dat laat meee niet los. Het geeft een heel akelig gevoel van spijt en dat zorgt ervoor dat ik geen rust heb.Ik weet eigenlijk wel zeker dat jij het begrijpt en vindt dat ik het moet vergeten omdat jij er allang niet meer aan denkt. Lieve pappa, ik denk veel aan je en mis je heel erg maar ik heb wel het idee dat je altijd een beetje bij me bent. je als enige overgebleven jongste dochter Annette.

Jennifer I never really talked to you much after you moved. I will never forget all of the memories we had together growing up. Playing monoploy for hours or goign camping. You were the best thing that ever could of happened to Jeff, and you were truely the love of his life. Although we will never get to attend your wedding, we take eaze in knowing that the two of you will have a marriage made in heaven. Look over your brothers, mother, and especially your aunt. We will be thinking of the two of you everyday. Until the day we meet again. God Bless.

I remember Aunt Gert as she was and as what Alzheimers turned her into. I remember her taking me to the Park, once or twice to the Movies and to her Temple. We grieved for her when she lost her mind. It's hard to grieve much now that she's also lost her physical being.

Aaron was the greatest person ive ever met. He was an awesome guitar player and could go anywhere musically that he wanted. I used to sit for hours and just watch him play, completely blown away by the complexity and greatness of the music he wrote. He touched so many people in his 19 years here with us. His legacy will carry on forever through the knowledge and beautiful perspective that he brought into this world. Aaron, you will never be forgotten...

I miss you mom very much! All of my love forever! Your son Ron.

Remembering a beautiful woman with a kind heart and gentle way who married the wrong man.

It has been 20 years now since your passing and I just wanted to say that I miss you and my mom and Grandpa very much. When my mom was dying and going in and out of sleep she woke up and asked me where you and grandpa had gone, so I know you were with us and took her with you when everything was ready for her. It gives me comfort to know she is not alone.
Big hugs and kisses and I will see you when my time comes.
Love
Janice

Hi Grandpa. I miss you and Grandma and my mom so much. You were always like a father to me. I still have the toys you and grandma sent to me when I was 3 years old and now my daughter plays with them. When she is old enough to understand the humor, I am going to share the stories of playing with those toys with you. You were such a good man and I will always love you.
Love
Janice

He was born in a time of great need and lived his life to the fullest. He never hurt anyone but defending the honor of all. He was a chef by trade but had hundreds of jobs as he rounded the world, three times. He was handsome beyond compare and had a flare for the ladies. He was my prince, my best friend my father. The word took on new meaning as it was given to him. I miss him greatly but am aware of his presence in many things in my life. He will always remain treasured.

Das Licht, das doppelt so hell brennt, brennt nur halb so lang.

Dear Dad, I miss you more than ever. I was only 24 when you left this world, but I had learned alot from you. I just wish you could have seen your grandchildren. Lacey and Nicholas. Nick was named after your dad. I'll see you in Heaven. Love Mark.

Pete was a very dedicated partner to me for over 10 years --we had many, many laughs and good times. Unfortunately, through a variety of circumstances over the last two years, Pete fell deeper and deeper into a depressive state and took his own life. He will always be remembered by so many, in Minneapolis, California (where we last resided) and throughout the world. One of his friends said this poem truly described the nature of Pete:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to
leave the world a little better; whether by a
healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived. This is
the meaning of success."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

With love to you Pete. Hope you are getting all the rest and rejuvenation you need now. Love, Lori, fiancee and soul-mate for 10 years.

A good father, whom I miss now more than ever. He would have loved to have seen his grandkids.

Dear Ryan, We love you and miss you. Kimberly asks about you all the time. When Haley gets old enough to understand we will tell her all about you. I hope you are happy. I know I will see you again some day. Love, Mommy,Daddy, Kimberly and Haley

ALthough I carried only nine short weeks your life had a great affect on me. We were so excited that you were coming. Your big sister told everyone and anyone we met about your upcoming arrival. My heart aches at losing you. I look forward to seeing you in the future. We love you.
Mom and Dad

My father, on this earth but only 49 years, will miss and love him all my life.

I never forget you and : All the times I have to live , always you will living also

I love you Gram and miss your kisses!! Jenny

Grandpa, I miss you so much. You were so sick for so long and you never complained, just as I never heard you complain about anything worse than the weather in your whole life. You met Grandma when Mom was already seven, but from the day you took on your ready-made family you became her real father; you lived quietly and humbly and we were blessed to be part of it. I thank G-d that I could be home to see you before you left, and that you were able to go on without pain and with all of us around you. And I thank you for the love, the stability, the wisdom and the good humor. There is no greater blessing than to be in the family of a righteous man. I will miss you every day forever.

A beautiful baby, he died in his mother Robin's arms at the age of nine days. He is treasured and remembered all the days of my life.
Love always,
Mama

Dear Daddy Claire Catherine and Felicity all miss you - you are always in our thoughts. You too lived for those you loved and those you loved remember you Good-night and God bless xx

Jenny is missed by many people. She touched many lives, although she did not realize it. Although she was my little cousin, she was more like my little sister. Her brother's daughter remembers her vividly, although she was very young when she passed. It has been many years since Jenny felt she had to take her life in order to stop the pain she was feeling. She was drowning in her own pain, and did not realize that she had many people aroung her who wanted to help her. If you are reading this, and have any feelings that you may want to committ suicide, please seek help, there are many people, who you may not be aware of that want to help you. It has been many years since Jenny died, and we still can't make it through the holidays without tears. Our memories of her will never fade, yet it cannot replace what we could have shared with her. Jenny is missed by many people. Hundreds showed up to pay their respects.

Jenny, although you think your in a better place, we still miss and want you back in our lives. Every time we see a picture of an angel, or the wind is blowing strong, we think of the little girl that was as sweet as an angel but fiesty like the wind.

We miss you!!!!!

Dear Mummy We never had the chance to say good-bye - she lived for those who loved her and those she loved remember her Felicity Claire and Catherine xxx

Beloved son, brother and friend, Greg was quick to smile, slow to wrath, ready to help anyone in need. He will be greatly missed as he is greatly loved.

In memoriam, every day sadly missed by his family and close friends. Too young and too soon he left us. He was a man of honor and dignity. We thank you for everything you have done for us.

Kenny was the sweetest little guy. When he was three months old, we discovered he had Leukemia. The next five months were spent fighting the disease. No matter how sick he was, he was always in a good mood, smiling, laughing. He was a joy to be around and I miss him still today.

I love you. I miss you. We all do.

You were swept from our lives by the waves of the sea. Taken when you were young before you had a chance to live. You died doing what you loved to do. Diving was your passion and to me you died a hero. I will always be your little sis no matter how old I grow. Your smile, your eyes still shine when my days are darkest leading the way to light and brighten my path even more then the spring sun after a long winter. We love you and miss you. I Love You Catch Ya Later You little sis.

My mother passed away unexpectedly three months ago. Her parents, brother, and sister continued their journeys many years ago. I feel her loss no less today than the day it happened. I am still angry, still sad, still a little desperate at times. She was born in Germany. Survived by her husband, Ottomar, two daughters, Alice and Terry; a son, Martin; his friend, Robert; and five grandchildren, Sean, Martin, Megan, Nicholas, and Jamie. She lived by this creed and epitomized it, a poem written by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To laugh often and much, to win respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." I know her journey is to grander places and on to amazing things. I miss her every day beyond belief. To know that I can never pick up the phone and talk about anything, or to share the joys of motherhood, is more painful than I can often bear. But to know that she is indeed, my mother and that I bear her name and am of her blood and lineage, well that alone is the finest heritage one could ask for. Alice Wakefield November 23, 1998

Died at South Tyneside District Hospital, suddenly on 13th December 1998 aged 88 years. Will be missed by wife Sylvia, daughter Sylvia and Grandchildren Gethin, Paul and Beverley. Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

Mike was the greatest friend anyone could ever have, he would bring the best out in anybody, he could make the saddest person smile. He could never get mad at anyone or anything... he had the biggest smile that kept on going and a laugh that followed that big smile of his. I don't really see how anyone would want to hurt such a great guy. Mike, just the way he was made you feel like you have known him forever. He liked to meet new people and would always make you feel welcome. You are guaranteed when you became his friend that you will have a friend for life. We will always love and remember MICHAEL for the sweet and wonderful person he was.....

Written by Bonnie and David

"You were a person who always laughed and smiled. Never a cruel word was spoken. I hold your picture dear to my heart as one last token. -Misha

"No one remembered is ever lost."

I love you Michael I wish you would of never left all of us just to have a memory of you. It isn't fair for you to leave us with no goodbye, but I know you are thinking about us and we will always think about you. And of course always miss you forever. -Erin

I will always wish that I could have taken some of your pain. I hope now that you are finally free. Please look down on us and help us. May we see each other soon in a better place. Always guide your niece who loved you so much

love from your sister...

Dad, how did you know? Last night I remembered when I saw you last Sunday. Your smile and your laughter, we had such a fun day. We bowled, you told a joke, we had a beer or two. And the last words we spoke were to say "I love you". Now I'm going back in time, revisiting all my memories of you. Remembering when I was very young, and things I asked of you. "Dad, I want a bike, a pony, a doll and much more". And your reply every time "I'll give you your hearts desire, but not till your 44". Well, now I realize you gave me the greatest gift of all that I’ll always hold so dear. You were in my life, all my life and throughout my 44th year. I have this need to hear your voice and feel your loving touch. You know how I need you and miss you so much. Many years will pass but I know I will still grieve. And I know in my heart this ache will never leave. But for you Dad, I can always manage a smile. And reflect on our lives and our love for awhile. Our moments together now, they seem way too few. But we had something so special and everyone knew. Dad, your my true friend, my confidant, the one who knows me best. Your the light of my life, outshining the rest. Love ya Dad, Bon

He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois and when he was about 8 years old the family moved to Oklahoma by covered wagon. He wrote of the trip and is something I treasure. When he was 17 he joined the Navy and retired 33 years later as a Chief Warrant Officer. He served in both World Wars. I remember watching Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon on television with him and when I looked over he was crying. I asked him why and he said "I was thinking of the covered wagon trip when I was a boy and never did I think I would see this day."

For an "Old Salt", he had a tender heart, was a good man who never asked for recognition, but was always there.

Dad, I'm giving you the recognition you deserve and I love and miss you very much.

In memory of a loved husband, good father, father in law, grandfather, uncle, great uncle and friend who has unexpected left from life. We will never forget him.

In Gedenken an einen geliebten Mann, fürsorglichen Vater, Schwiegervater, Großvater, Onkel, Großonkel und Freund, der nach einem erfüllten Leben unerwartet und immer noch zu früh von uns gegangen ist. Wir werden sein Andenken immer in unseren Herzen bewahren, denn er selbst war immer warmherzig, hilfsbereit, tolerant, aber nie fordernd oder selbstgefällig.

Long-time resident of Lyons, Illinois, USA. A good and decent man, he will be missed by his many friends and associates. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Husband of Barbara, father of Terri and Kelly, PawPaw to Matthew and Emily , you will be sorely missed.

Merry Christmas, Sister. You were never one for hogwash so I will get to the point...It's just not been the same without you here. There's a big Hole in My heart and I've been hurting for some time. I really really miss you and all the great fun we had together...there will never be another you. NEVER, EVER, AGAIN. But I do thank the Lord for the times we had together and the wonderful memories. Just wish we could have you back for a bit, one more coffee stop or candle run. This Christmas I devoted to you...the house is done so beautiful...lots of lights now we need you to send the snow. What a tribute and honor for you it must have been to pass away the same day as Johnny Cash and John Ritter. To me you were a Shining Starr and among the elite anyhow. Save a seat for me til' I get there. Forever thank you for the joy you gave. Always with adoration, your best friend...Denise DiFalco

Three and a half months ago, I lost my best friend, confidant, greatest mom, and family member, grandmother and great grandmother. There is this awful disease called "Alzheimers" that robbed our family of our loved one. Mom had a good 74 years of her life, and lived it to its fullest most times. Then one day she was gone. Grief struck me like no other feeling I have ever experienced in my life. How does one cope I ask? Well the answer is not a simple one. How do we explain to her grandchildren, great grandchildren that she is no longer among us? That day is still a blur in my mind and each day is just as hard as that first one was. Grief is an awful thing to cope with, and some days are better than others. I miss the times when I could just sit and watch mom play with her grandkids. She would do those "motherly things" with them that only grandmas could do. It was such a joy to see her smile and her face light up when she was among them. I will always treasure those days past. She never knew her great grandkids as she became ill before they were born. Although my oldest grandaughter does know her by her picture, she understands that her great grandma is happy in heaven now and playing with the angels among us. Life will certainly never be the same without mom to brighten my days, and hours. Even before she did no longer know who I was, or would cry when I would have to leave for home. Those thoughts will be the ones that will keep her memory alive within me forever. Even though my heart is broken now, I know that she is happy and no longer trapped in a world that she doesn't know any longer. For that I am grateful. There will never be anything like a mother's love again and I will always have the fondest of memories to treasure. She will always be a big part of my heart. That is something that no one can ever take away. I miss you mom with all my heart and look lovingly at your picture everyday. For that is all that I have left of you now. May the angels bless you and keep you safe until the day that we will be together again. Your forever loving daughter.

In memory of a man who gave so much to so many. His efforts and dedication made the lives of so many people a lot more bearable. He will be sorely missed by all those who have had the good fortune to have known him. Thank you Eliot for all you gave us.

Chad was our special gift from GOD and we were blessed to have him share his life with us for 23 years before HIS HEAVENLY FATHER called him home to Heaven. His death came just before he was to graduate from Oklahoma University. OU was kind enough to award him his BA posthumously. He is survived by his Father, Bill; Mother, Vonya; and Sister, Tracey.

You are so very loved and missed Mom.we are trying to take care of each other as you would wish us to,we just dont quite have your special touch..Love to you mom, Your Girls, Suzanna; Michele; Kelly & little Donald

I sure do miss you mom. I miss the touch of your hand on my cheek, the way you stroked my hair, your laughter... so many things. Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.

This memorial is dedicated to my uncle Allan, that died many years ago at the age of 21. I am unsure about the dates of his birthday and his death but.. thats not what's important. What's important is that his name is listed on this memorial site, so he will be remembered. He is now with his family in heaven. His whole family is now deceased. First it was him, then his father, then his mother, and then finally, my father, his brother. I have an old photo of the whole family at their best and happiest times ever. I look at them and see that they are all happy and have God with them. I have heard many stories of my uncle, but.. i don't know much about him. I know he was a good man and he died a tragic death at the very early age of 21. He was so exited to finally get his own car. He went to show it off to a friend and his friend wanted to drive the car, Allan agreed and they went for a fast drive when they crashed and my uncle was killed in the crash and his friend also killed. The car was only a two seater, very small, and very dangerous, i hope that you will all say a prayer for my uncle, he would be about 59 years old now if he had lived. He was the only one that my father really cared about in life, and now they are together, and must be very happy to have eachother again! I can't wait to see them someday! God bless you uncle Allan, we love you and wish you were here! We'll meet you up there, so be on the lookout! Lots of love always, your niece and family, Courtney and the Scott's

To my precious child,
Mommy and Shelby miss you so much. There is a hole in my soul that will always be there. Rest in peace my little Branner-Nanner-Man.

Colin, you were loved! Your family and friends will miss so much. We created "Celebration of Life" posters for you and even played Metallica and Everclear at your service. Your classmates signed a memorial banner that touched the hearts of everyone who read it. May those new wings of yours take you ever further than the Space Shuttle could . . . straight to the face of God.

Scott Marsh died suddenly on his way home from work. Mr Marsh was 29 at the time of his death. A Technician at Glycomed a Alameda California Biotech firm. He will be missed by all who knew him

In memory of my sweet and loving daddy. You are truly missed. For not a day passes by that you are not in my heart and memories. I will never forget you, and I pray to God daily that you will not forget me. My wedding is in 29 days, and I wish that you could be there to walk me down the aisle. But even though you can not be there in the physical, I know you will be by my side in spirit and in heart. I love you! Your little girl always ~Bekah :)

You slipped away so quickly and I am grieivng for so long. No warning for me, but you did say that you would be my friend until the day you died, and you kept your promise. I just did not expect it to be so soon. I am torn up, and yet getting on with things nevertheless, as you would have told me to. I have felt and heard you since you passed, yet it is no comfort. I still cry unconsolable. My keyboard fills with tears, and flickers by the light from the candlestick you bought me. You always said I should get on the net, and paid for my first modem. You wanted the world for me, and I wanted nothing from you but your love and friendship. Now, too late, I realise that we could have had everything, perhaps. I regret not marrying you. I regret not being brave enough to go for it. Now I am married to your memory, and no man can comfort me. You were my primary support. I loved you deeper than I knew, and now you say I am your true love. Life's veils cause so much distress. I hope you are happy now. I dreamed of Shane, I talk to you daily. You will always be here, although I know you are gone. I will love you forever, with the sincerity that was so rare in your life. I hope that you will be there to meet me when my day comes. I love you. I will love you forever. There were just not enough years. I kiss you gently.,...... x....... "Death is a letter that was never sent" - Alan Ginsberg

This memorial is dedicated to one of the best men that had ever lived! His name is Richard Scott! He was a wonderful man, very kind and gentle! He loved everyone, he loved life! To him, his family was everything. he worked very hard for many years and was distraught over the death of his younger brother Allan, who was killed in a car crash at the very young age of 21. later in the same year that his brother died, he lost his father who died of a heart attack related to stress from the death of Allan. He has had a rough life but.. he was sure that his children and wife were taken care of and were happy! He did everything in his power to keep us happy. I was very young at the time of his death, and I wish that I was older and knew what was' happening, I would've spent the last week of his life at home with him instead of being away from him. I love my daddy and I miss him dearly! I hope someday we will be reunited as a family again. He was the best father anyone could possibly have. He is happy now and I know that, but.. I guess I still feel bad, that I didn't know he was dying and I had a whole week to spend with him. Those were the last weeks that my father was awake and talking. The following week, he was in a coma and never woke up again! This message goes to my father who will never be forgotten. Daddy, I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me, I miss you so much and I would do anything to just spend 5 minutes with you. I love you so much and I wish you were here with us! My life is empty without you and it will never be the same. Mom misses you so much and she cries for you whenever we speak of you! Daddy, you will never be forgotten, your memory will live on in our hearts forever! I think of the songs we used to sing when I was little, and it brings me a lot of joy to hear you voice in my mind. Remember this, Mr. Donald Duck, Mr. Donald Duck, we rided and rided on yooooouuu!! I remember all the times we spent together and I was always happy just to be near you! I loved spending the days home with you while Mom was out shopping, smelling the scent of bacon, and potatoes that Mom just finished cooking for breakfast. I miss seeing you sitting at the table with Savannah laying at your feet and you reading your 300 page books! You were the best father and I am sad that you aren't here to share the special times in your grandson and my life. You would be very proud of us, and that makes me feel good! Daddy, someday I will get you that Caddilac Seville that you have always wanted. I love you daddy, and you left here being known by all of your friends and family as a wonderful man who is very special and is deeply missed. I hope to see you again someday, I love you daddy, and I will always be your little girl. I will survive and succeed! This is for you dad!!!! We love you so much, Courtney, Allan, and Mom

Richard Lee Scott died more than 4 years ago, he was a wonderful man who would help anyone. He is my father! He will always be remembered by his family and his friends, he was known as a very generous person who would give you the shirt off his back and the shoes off his feet. I want you to remember him too. He was a great man, who didn't even get the chance to see his children nor his grandchildren grow up. I was only 13 when he died. I have always wanted to do something special for him, and now I can! I can help keep his memory alive. You can help me, Please say a prayer for my dad! I guess it was his time to go and god wanted him with him. I can now accept that, which I never could before. Thank you for taking the time to read this. And to you Daddy, Wherever you are, I love you and miss you dearly, I will be with you again someday! I will always remember you and your grandson will know what a wonderful man his grandpa was. We just miss you so much, It will never be the same without you. I know that God has you with him in his kingdom and you are safer there than anywhere else on earth, I know that when I die, You, Grandma, And Uncle Allan will be waiting for me at the gates. I love You Daddy! Sleep with the Angels! Love Always, Courtney Laine Scott

Sheryl Ann Scott was the beloved wife of Robert G. Scott for thirteen years. We shared a love that was well beyond the norm. Sheryl died of cancer the morning of 4 March 2001. The story of her cancer (and our love) is on the web, and worth reading.

Mom, You were sadly taken from us way to soon. We feel your absence with every breath we take. We love you. We will miss you until we are reunited again. God called another Angel home. You are forever in our hearts and memories. Til we meet again Mom Love your daughters Dajea Christa and families

in loving memory of my cousin vincent "Tre" jerome scott. he was a true soldier. ~ may he rest in peace~ first off my cousin was murdered by someone he didn't even know. His friend took my cousin with him to pick up his girlfriend! when they got there , chris ( his friend ) started arguing with his girl, and a guy came out and started shooting, he shot my cousin first ( just for being there ) he shot him multiple times,as his friend chris started running. my cousin fell over the rail unconscious, i guess they thought my cousin was dead, so that guy passes the gun to a second guy and that guy goes and chases chris, he then shot chris who was in critical condition for along time but made it. my cousin then woke up and asked a girl who was hiding behind a refrigerator if she was alright, he then asked her if she would take him to the hospital, with no reponses he stumbled his way to his friends car, where he fell down and died. my cousin was the best he meant so much to me, i miss him alot. his birthday is coming up , and i won't get to be with him. we all miss him so much. we luvv you tre.

(An Old Man's Dream)

As I grow old in foreign climes,
I long to hear thefabled chimes
of Aberdovey's silvered bells
that sway beneath the ocean swells

To lie outstretched beneath the sky
and hear the skylark way on high,
to see the place where Offa stood
up on a hill,beyond the wood

To sit beside a rippling stream
to see a fish,perchance to dream
of life gone by in simpler days
of love of life and songs of praise

To wander wide across the moor
and see the drystone walls that soar
from valley farms up o'er the hill
two hundred years and standing still

To see the towers of York arise,
to praise the lord up to the skies
and spread its benifice to all
who live behind its ancient wall

To pass through town of smoking mills
heading for the bright green hills
where beauty abounds on every hand
this truly is a wonderous land

Of villages nestled round a castle
far away from city hassle,
where peace and quiet set the scene
to sit beside the village green

Of tors and tarns and becks and byres,
this truly is the northern shires,
a land of rivers and of dales,
of hearty meals and hearty ales

To hear the dialects of every county
of people blessed with all the bounty,
with all the beauty of land and see,
this is what I long to see

But now I'm old, my heart is weak
and other pleasures I must seek
but now dependant on my chair
I'll not be going anywhere.

Paul James Scriver was suddenly taken from this earth September 1st, 1996. He was 24 years old. He leaves behind a fiancee, both parents, an older brother and an older sister, aswell as many aunts and uncles and one grandmother. Paul met his death in paoli, PA while driving a horse tractor trailer on his way to the Hamptons. He was underneath the trailer trying to fix the locked airbrake when the tractor trailer freed itself rolling on to him, pinning him beneath the wheels. He remained alive until the trailer was raised off of him at which time he went into cardiac arrest and died. Paul was a kind hearted, easy going and generous person. All those who knew him could not help but like him. I feel asthough I have lost my best friend. I am thankful for the last phonecall I shared with him only a few days before his tragedy. This is in memory of my big brother: Still seems like yesterday When we were talking on the phone. How I long to hear your voice again Instead I sit and cry alone. Somehow the days continue to pass And I'm not sure how they do. I still have difficulty facing the truth You're irreplaceable and I'll always miss you. aug 23,1997 This is from our family: Out of a thousand stars in the sky We see the one that twinkles the most And know that it is you. Out of a thousand winds that blow We feel the softest one wipe away our tears And know that it is you. It's been a year since you were taken from us No words seem to comfort the emptiness we feel inside Only the stars in the sky and the wind on our face. aug 28, 1997

Married 44yrs, six children ,and countless numbers of freinds and family that loved her. She is the strongest and kindest women I know. It was always said that Lois has never meet a stranger. Now I know that was true. I remember when I was much younger and you're driving down the street. You saw a lady and her three children. You stop and ask the lady if she and her kids had anything to eat or place to stay. They said no, so you took them home . It was a selfish act of kindness on your part because you had three kids and a husband of your own at home. That was just my first memory of your kindness and it did not stop there. You saved enough money to open your own business, a personal care for the eldery. You did it because you cared. You have gone to heaven to share your kindness and because you have taught six kids by example now your kindness will continue here. WE LOVE YOU MOMA!!!!!!
