David, You're my Angel

Do You Remember All The Good Times
And Bad Times That We Shared,
All The Hopes And Dreams We Had
Nothing Else Could Ever Compare.

There Will Always Be A Place
Down Deep Inside My Heart,
A Special Place Where Only You
Will Occupy That Part.

I Will Always Remember
All The Beauty And The Grace,
Your Smile As Bright As Sunshine
And Your Beautiful Angelic Face.

The Way Your Body Felt
As I Held You Close To Me,
In My Heart And In My Soul
Is Where You'll Always Be.

God Gave Me An Angel
To Call My Very Own,
Now We'll Always Be Together
From This Moment On.

As my heart holds you,
Just one beat away.
I cherish all you gave me everyday.

Cause you are my Forever love,
Watching me from up above.

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that our love will live on and never leave.

David, my love,
I miss your love.
As our favorite songs quotes:

"Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me."

I'll always love you!

When I was young I never learned about things like coping with emotions and feelings like affection, tenderness, togetherness.
When I was 17 I fell in love with Anja. I like to think she fell in love with me.
From her I learned these things and I am still greatfull for that.

I am 47 now and for the last few years I have been trying to find information about Anja and her whereabouts.
I could never find something until 3 weeks ago, there was her name, her date of birth and.......... the date of her death, august 3th 2006, I was to late.

I will never know if she knew what she has ment to me and now I can never tell her. It makes me feel sad.

Anja, maybe you can read this from where you are now. I want you to know you are still deep inside me. You are a wonderful and loving person. I am sure you grew up to be a great woman, wife and mother.
I found you and lost you again. You will be missed.

Killed in Vietnam while serving his 2nd hitch. Dedicated 1st lieutenant. Father of Minette born May 1, 1970. My brother.

This is a memorial to two beautiful little boys that were taken much too soon. Their deaths should never have happened. It is almost inconceiveable that a mother could kill her children in such a horrible way. What could posess their mother to do what she did? I am a mother and there is no way that I would ever do such a thing to my children. Susan Smith is in prison now and I hope that she is reminded every day of these two beautiful children that she cold bloodily murdered. I hope it haunts her every waking hour. I often think of Alex and Michael and what great things they may have done if they would have just been born to a different mother. My heart goes out to the father of these boys and the rest of their families. I hope that some day they will find peace. Rest easy Alex and Michael. You will be in the care of Jesus. You will be remembered always. The Connor Family

I pray that you finally have found your peace.
You'll be missed

Grandma, You will always be missed Love Vikki

grandad. i miss you. you leaving me was the hardest thing ive ever had to go through and it has taken a very long time to dry my tears. although i can never stop the new tears fall. I still think its a bad dream. I still remember the beer belly hugs and the funny smell of your breath when you had drank your beer. I remember every holiday. they were the best. You were a huge part of my childhood. Its terrible that whenever i think of you i cant stop myself from crying. Why? why cant we all just go together, i know your with grandma now but it doesnt stop the pain of loosing you. You have been a top grandad to me. you chose my dad, you chose to be my grandad and regardless you were the best. Im so glad you got to meet emily. she still remembers you. i have photographs of you around the house so she can constantly see you. It feels so strange being in your house but i try not to think of it. ive made it into my hom e now, like you wanted. your last wish was granted grandad and im happy about that. I know you would be proud of me if you saw the house, it has taken me alot of hard work, money and time, and even more for dad. Time for dad to chill a little now. gosh he deseves it. he misses you greatly. you were his best friend, dad, only family left. On the day of the funeral i saw uncle jack for the fist time and had to run out of the room crying because i thought he was you. He looks so much like you. my word. i was slightly clingy to him to be honest, it made me feel close to you again. although i know i am in spirit anyway. I love you grandad, i write you little letters every so often trying to update you. it might seem daft but it makes me feel better. What i would give to have you round for dinner or to spend just just one more xmas day with you. I wanted you to meet any future grand children and watch emily grow up. I wish you could have met lee, hes great, you would have loved him. he treats me and emily good. its like a piece of me is missing now your no longer here, it makes me feel sick to my stomach. my head really hurts now ive cried so much. i just want my grandad back and i want to see the twinkle to my dads eyes.I feel so sorry that he has lost his parents. he did so much to help you grandad, he was a hero. Ive got a job. getting back on my feet since being left as a single parent, i will not let anyone bring me down, i will succeed in my own way. that means that as long as im happy and my family are i have suceeded. good night grandad, il chat to you very soon. i love you you and grandma rest in peace. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On November 25, 2000, the world lost a great friend! I for one, know the loss personally , the loss of my best friend of 32 years Barbara Evelyn smith. She died tragically 7 weeks after a car accident she had no idea she had internal injuries that would eventually lead to her death. She leaves behind a 19 year old son who is in his first year of College and a 13 year old daughter. Their Dad is not in the picture so they are staying with Barbaras parents. It was such a senseless loss. She also leaves behind a beautiful grandchild from her son a wonderful little girl Brooklyn . Barbara was so proud of her only grandchild, she loved her very much and was looking so forward to seeing her grow up to be a beautiful woman.

Barbara, you were the best friend to me for all 32 years, you were only 42 when you died, and that is way to young. I want to honor your life in any way that I can and I hope this is acceptable to you. I miss you so much everyday, I cry when I think of the sadness of it all.

Your life was conected to mine in so many ways , we grew up together , and I do not know how to live without being able to call you up and just shoot the breeze! You were the best and you will always live on in my heart forever!!!

I miss you and I always will. Don't worry Barbara I have my eyes on Katie and Jordan and I will help them any way that I can. I will watch out for Brooklyn any way that I can aslo. Your parents are being pillars of strength , but I know this is so hard for them. God bless them and your kids!!

I miss you so much!!

Love you always, Tammy

Pretty name. I was jealous of her. She was so popular. I wanted so desperately to be as loved and popular as she was. In the six months that I lived with her and knew her intimately; I actually thought that I could ride her coattails, and that I could become as popular and well-liked as she was by being with her. Ha! When ever people would visit, it was her they wanted to see, not me. I wondered what her secret was! And once again, just as always, sigh, I'm still envious of her, even in death. You see, because now, in her death, she gets to see my father (Robert Wainer, 1917-1972). She gets to have and see and be with the one person that I ache for and would do anything to have now. They both can finally talk and get to know each other. And my father will certainly appreciate that now, in her death, she will help me like never before. She already went to work the moment she died, all the good things that have happened to me these past days; that's her, finally, at last taking charge. She is ready to focus on her three grandchildren, David, Greg, and Martin, in a way that, perhaps, she wasn't able to do in her life. I'm already beginning to see her good works show up. We believe it's because she is "now" able to more fully understand the situation with Greg, David, and Martin, far more clearly, in her death than she could in her life. And that her soul will be a light, and that her spirit will be a continuous guiding force (She's already surveyed my situation, the moment she died, and done something about it for me!)for those grandchildren, in particular, who have suffered. And that, although, others believe that they have "lost" someone truly wonderful, we the Grandchildren who have suffered the most, feel that in her death, she can now be more powerful. And with all the good things that have happened recently, in these very past days, she's doing just that!

My beloved mom. I love you so much . The hurt of losing you was so great.
When I feel low I know you are still there for me just in another room weher you watch over me and all my family. Love and miss you loads
Your daughter
Eunice

Dad, I knew it was going to happen, but I did not realize that it would've been this soon. At least I got to kiss you & tell you I love you. You were Jamie's hero -- and I'm glad she got to see her Papa Bill for her young four years of her life. You both were great together. I was the luckiest person alive to have a Dad like you. You were the best, and I love you & miss you very much. Your daughter, Janet

To a brillant dad who's remembered in every way. who had courage to fight to the end. will be sadley missed.love from his loveing daugter claire xxx

Carol was the light in our lives. She left us before we could get to know who she really was. We remember her laugh and smile, her earthly green eyes and her loving gaze. We remember her soft voice and comforting touch and her tender kiss. She gave of herself to help others and they will remember her also I am sure. With out her we are lost and I wonder if we will ever find our way. We were lucky to have had her for as long as we did for in this time she taught us to be strong and it is this strength that will carry us threw this time of tragedy to the day when we shall be together again. Mother of my children, lover, wife, friend, she was all these things and I shall never forget her. We love you Carol Jean. Brian Sharon Bill

To My Beautiful Mother From Her Only Child

Where do I begin to tell you how much I miss you. Words cannot describe the pain I feel without you. I know you are in Heaven where you want to be and I am so happy for you. I just miss you so much as does Dad and your Son-In-Law, Steve. I guess the best way to say it Mom is as I did with the song I played for you at your visitation by David Gates, the lead singer of Bread.

Nobody else will ever know, the part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything I own, Give up my life, my heart, my home, I would give everything I own, Just to have you back again...Just to touch you...once again.

I Love you Mom, Barbie

"c.c" as we all called you we hope you will be remembered as your joking self as you showed your true spirit within you. May you live on in everyone's mind that you once touched because there were so many. we all love you for the person you truly were and the person you wanted to be. your life was taken away to early for anyone to have enjoyed. we all miss you. you have taught everyone here to live life at the fullest that they can because life does not go on forever. may you once come back to us and make us laugh again. even if it is to make fun of how many tums mrs. fentress took in a day, but just to have you back with us would be a wonderful gift. may you live on in the wonderful place that you earned in everyone's heart. we say so long to a friend that had yet to begin his life. c.c was only 15 years old. he died in a car accident that was fatal to two other friends of ours. they also have yet to begin their lives. the accident was because the driver was drunk. october 20 is remember them day. we wore red ribbions to remember them. Good-bye to our dear friend C.C. Smith

Although you have been gone for a year, you are not forgotten. We loved you and miss you. Mother is waiting her time out until she can be with you. Please know I am doing all I can for her while she is with me. You gave me a home and took care of me when no-one else would, now I can take care of things for you. Thank you for letting me be your daughter. I know you are watching over us and we are still being taken care of by you.

Charlie Jennings Smith was born in Van Meter, Iowa to Howard Truesdale & Ellen Emma (Jennings) Smith. He had a deep love for farming and raising livestock. Charlie married Ila May Knott in 1939. Charlie and Ila purchased her family farm and lived there until retirement, when they moved to town. Shortly after their marriage they adopted two children, one boy and one girl. They loved to travel in their retirement years and made many friends along life's way. These people were truly loved by many.

Dad was a hard working man and with careful planning he always got the job done right the first time.

With love,
Your daughter,

Though you left my life as quickly as you entered it you will forever be loved. There is no burden like the burden of a questionable death. Now the truth is known. Now I can go on. I long to see your smile again. To hear your laugh. To sit in Mile Square Park by the lake again. To just drive around all night aimlessly. To live again. To love again. Goodbye Christa I will always love you.

Hey Nanna I was only 1 when you died, but I am glad you saw my first steps. I think my mum blames herself for your death, she wanted you home with us insted the rest of the family put you in a home. You've got no grave so we can lay flowers down and we don't even know where your ashes went. I feel upset when I see beautiful graves and their isn't one for you. You raised 7 children and only 1 turned out right that was my mum. We both miss you Nanna always

Dearest Dan,
I still remember your smile. I remember your smell. I remember your hair and your perfect teeth. I can't belive you are gone. I will not see you in the morning. I will not see you on earth again, ever. I miss you more than I would have ever thought I would. You are the world to me and I love you. I wish I would wake up from this nightmare, but I know that will never happen. You are gone for ever untill God sees it fit for us to be together again. You are the best brother I could have ever asked for and you are forever a part of me. You will live on in my heart. I love you.

Your sister,
Jewell

you will be greatly missed and in our hearts!

Dad,
I miss you so much. It's been over a year and a half and it's been the weirdest time of my life. Everything is so different now, but everything is ok. We're finding ways to live our lives under these new circumstances. Don't think that we don't need you though. We need you. But it's ok that you had to go-please know that it's ok. We know you were sick and we know you hurt every day-and we know you didn't want to leave us; you just didn't want to live with the pain. It's ok you had to go. We'll never forget you. The kids will know who you were-we remind them always of how you loved them. Go have fun with your dad and grandparents. I know you’re finally getting to do what you couldn't here, and that has to feel good. I love you dad, and I'm glad that’s the last thing we said to each other. It isn't fair, but its life and it's ok.
Love always and always and always,
Rachael

loved nana missed by all

He was a wonderful husband and daddy. He will always be missed but never forgotten. He was loved by many. His pain is gone now and he his with the Lord in the place wwe call heaven. May he rest in peace.

My daddy was a wonderful person. Now he is gone. He died unexpectedly and he is greatly missed. I am only 16 now and I can't see my life without my daddy. It's hard. Daddy and I were very close. He hated taking his heart medicine. Now he's in heaven and he doesn't have to. He can't hurt anymore. All his pain is gone. No one deserved to go to heaven more then my daddy did. I love you daddy. Your memories will be with me always. Until I see you in heaven someday, Your daughter, Laura Lee

No son ever had a finer example to follow in life than the one you provided me.If i can just be half as good a father to my children as you were to me then i will have accomplished something worthwhile in life.You will surely be missed by all those who knew and loved you. I love you, Michael.

In loving memory of the most wonderful grandmother. Never on earth shall there be a kinder, gentler woman. The day she died was one of the hardest days of my life. I know she is at peace now and with her husband and son, but we so miss her on earth. Eleven days after she died, I gave birth to her 10th grandchild. How I regret that Carolyn will never know her Nanny or that my three year old, Ceri, will only have vague memories. I love you, Grandma. There are three baby angels in need of you now. Please find them for me. Love and peace, Kelli

This is for my sister Glen as i used to call her.My friend as well as my sister, i miss our phone chats that sometimes lasted for well over an hour. What on earth did we talk about, oh yes, shopping, recipes, our mum, family life and not forgetting my dogs.

Six year old son of John and Rhonda Smith - died of a brain tumour, after a two and a half year battle.

My "Hayley Girl". My beautiful little Angel in heaven. I love you and I miss you.

Dear mum, it has now been five months since you were so tragically taken from us. I still feel as if this is some sort of dream, and you are going to walk through that front door at any minute. It is now I realise how much myself, chris and kieron took you for granted, and how much the little words like I love you can mean so much. I know that you are still around listening to me whittling on about my problems in life, but I just want you to know one thing...
I will never forget you and I will never stop loving you.

Sweet dreams and god bless to a wonderful mother.

love always,
Rebecca, Christopher and Kieron

A Father who cared although never showy with his affections.A hard working man, loved and missed still by his four children. Rest in peace Dad, you deserve it.

Mom will be there with you.She has been strong and has started going to church again. I know you are laughing at all the changes she has made.A dog in the house! I still cry sometimes dad.But it is only because I miss you.You were a great dad,a wonderful husband,and an honest man. I love you daddy.

Jade you were my sister even though we did not know, even though we did not meet, we will one day and I cannot wait till that day comes

God looked around his garden, and he found and 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 suffering, he knew you were in pain. he also knew in heaven, you would never hurt again. he saw the road was getting rough, and the hills harder 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. if tears could build a staircase, and memories a lane, we'd walk all the way to heaven, and bring you home again. t o in loving memory of my precious son .

Jessi was a person who brought lots of influence on the lives of people who knew her or were graced with her presence. She loved kids, animals, and just about everything. She was only 15 when her life was so tragically taken away one night in a car accident. She was so full of sunshine and life and will be forever missed by everyone. she seemed to have a belief that everything was full of goodness and innocence just like herself.

Jessica,
Hello my Jessibear! I miss you unlike NEthing else, I miss your voice, your excitedness, your smile, your forgivness, and especially YOU. Yoo were the best friend a girl could have. You had patience unlike NE one I am still to meet. Even after a year my face rarely holds a truly happy smile because i was the most at ease and happiest around you. Life's excitements just aren't as bright. Amanda and I are close again, during the first year we never talked because it hurt too much to look at each other and remember. i am yet to go to your grave, I am sorry. Well i'll meet you again some day, where the flowers are brighter than Ne thing and the sun is so warm. God must treasure the real angel he has. Even now after 1 year, and almost 3 months I can not believe I will never see your smile or hear your giggle again. Your missing graduation in June 2000. i'll never see you standing beside me at my wedding, I'll never see your first born. All your, all our, plans are...GONE! Every one misses you so much, we can't wait until the day we shall meet you again

Love you forever chickie

I saw your face today, in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say, "Her work on earth is done."
I heard your voice today, then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say, "There's peace dear one at last."
I felt your touch today, in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say, "She’s always by your side."
I thought I saw my broken heart, in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say, "You’ll be together soon."
I thought that you had left me, for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say, "She left you with her love."
I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say, "Be strong, you’ll be ok."
The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars, will forever be around,
Reminding me of the love we shared, and the peace you’ve finally found.

My darling dad. You fought so hard to stay with us. Now you are reunited with our mom.
Love and miss you loads
Your daughter

Tomorrow comes, But I want it to end as I have lost, my very best friend, Pop you were my sky, my star, my moon, As far as I am concerned you were taken too soon. They must need a super grandad in the sky, as it's far too early for you to die. The only thing that gives me the strength to go on is that I loved you and that love is still strong. I feel honoured to call you Grandad as a better one I could never of HAD! I LOVE YOU POP FOREVER Love Tracy (Your Grandaughter)

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 suffering, He knew you were in pain. 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 eyeslids 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. You will truly be missed in our hearts. I love you brother, your little sister, Sassy

Mother, I was so sad to see you go, but I know you are in peace now. Always remember that Sherri and Debbie love you very much and that we will take care of each other.

Thank you for always being there for me through the good times and the bad. You are truly my best friend. The best one I could ever dream of. I love you.

Dear Brother, It's springtime now,the month of your birth. The grass is greener and the air is fresh and clean. Your little girl is outside playing in the sun. Can you see her? I hope so because she is beautiful. We miss you Kenny and wish that you were here. Springtime will be over soon,but your memory will live on with those that love you. God Bless. Love, Gloria

Mother is no longer...
but she will always be!
She left us only yesterday,
oh, but she waits for me!
I know exactly where she went,
I know Who owns that Place,
He happily receives her as
He holds me in embrace!

Look how big her smile is now!
Listen to her laugh!
I savor every perfect gift
she leaves on my behalf.
Worship, love and singing fill
her every moment now;
only tune the heart and you
can see and hear somehow!
Written Just for Mom By
~Jim Busby ~

Mom I will miss you so very much
I am thankful for the time we had
I am thankful for the drinks we shared
I am thankful for your smile
That I carry on my lips
I look in the mirror and see your face
I will sometimes see you in every place
Rest in Peace and do not worry
I will join you soon, but I’m not in a hurry
So save me a seat and grab something yummy to eat
And I will hold you in my heart until next time we meet.

In Loving Memory of a cool Mum and Granny Apple...

Well...... the sweet remembrances of the seeds you've sown will be with us forever.

At different times, Tad was a coworker and my boss. But most of all he was always my friend. He had a wonderful ability to let anything roll off him and not upset him a bit. Even his fight with cancer that he had thought he had won. He had the most wonderful sense of humor. He always had a joke to tell, was always happy and easy-going. I told him many times that having him around was good for me. I needed to learn to be like he was. When I was getting perturbed about something, Tad would look at me with his wide-eyed look and say something totally off-the-wall that would make me laugh and put the situation back in perspective. Oh, how I miss him. He and his wife, Laura, had a marriage many would be envious of - they were a team and loved each other very much. He was an excellent father and sorely missed by his sons, Scott, Jeff and Mike. He and his brother, Scooter, were more like twins than just brothers. Tad, I know it's okay now, but there's an awful lot of people who will miss you forever. I'm just one of them.

Much loved but little understood

It's been nearly a year since you left us and i still find myself picking up the phone to call you from time to time.I know it will get easier as time goes by, but rest assured you will never be forgotten as you are with us in our thoughts and our hearts forever mother. I love you, Michael.

My Grandma was the best. There was nothing she would not do for any of us. She helped us throught the bad times and helped to repair any hurt. I sometimes wish she could repair the hurt that its caused since she went away.I know that she is happy and she is where she always wanted to be, with God, and now my Grampy has come to join her I know she will always be happy. I just wish that it was possible to visit you sometimes but I know that it is impossible Grandma. You will always be missed but never forgotten.

Two little boys with so much to give the world. One cannot understand the reason why. Though I didn't know you personally, I, like so many other moms whose hearts were saddened by your passing, pray that you have found happiness you deserve in heaven.

for now you have found peace...in heaven up above"

-lyrics from a song I wrote

Rest in peace, Alex and Michael.

She was the sweetest Grandma that anyone could hope to have. I love and miss you every day Grandma, even after all these years.

Dad was a Professional Truck Driver with the Teamsters for over 40yrs. We all loved him very much, and miss him to this day . He was a hard man to know but once you did you saw that he was a good man in his own way. He taught us many things over the years from tieing shoes to making the # eight or teaching grand kids to skip, or one of his daughters to drive. You did a lot for us Dad and we love you for it.

You are my hero, my protector, and my freind. John 15:13

Sam was my friend for many years. His death was unexpected and I am not dealing with it very well. I miss him dearly. I know through time, I will learn to accept his passing.

Whoever's reading this, please know: you're not the person you could have been if Shelly had lived long enough to meet you. She instantly made every person around her better, more caring and more human. To even approach her beauty and goodness you can begin by contributing to your local chapter of MADD--Mothers Against Drunk Driving--and appeal to your legislators for tougher penalties against drunk drivers. I miss your smile, Shel.

Sparky was a dog. He was great. He died chasing a garbage truck. Rock on, Sparky!

Mom, brothers, sister, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We all love you Stefie

Well Trevor as we were always 100% honest with each other, I see no reason to change now. I was jealous when you were with Jan but as you know I didn't make any advances as everybody knew that you both only had eyes for each other and when Jan died I was truely saddened as she was also a good friend. In the short time we had together I was happier than I have been for a long time and I hope that I lightened your heart as well because I know that inside, you were still grieving. I hope that both your souls have found each other and you spend eternity together.
All my fondest love
Deborah

When writing your epitaph, I couldn't seem to find the right words that would describe you and your courage. You had a conglomeration talents and a ton of abilities too. This may many people love you. You had a first love, and that was to save souls, you preached to many, and God knows. You looked at us You saw us as friends, and many others as brothers... It didn't even matter what the color. You were warm and compassinate with your mind set on your goals. But God thought it better to take your soul. Now you are at home, a place of rest. Free from this world of pain and stress. Rest my love rest, Peace be to your soul. I miss you and I "LOVE" u. I miss U. I will never forget u. I hope to see u again some day. Your loving soulmate, friend and confidant. Alberta

A loving and caring husband, father and grandfather who is missed greatly by his wife, children and grandchildren... Dad, I wish we had more time together. Karisa dedicated a poem to you in school this year. And Kelsi has your picture on her bedroom mirror, even though she doesn't remember much about you. Billy's wedding was beautiful. We all missed you sorely that day. And now your third grandchild (another girl!) is on her way soon. We all wish you could hold her in your arms. We keep going along, knowing that you are somewhere guiding us. There was nothing like one of your comforting hugs... Do you think I could have one now? "Papa, can you hear me...?" We miss you so much, it hurts. I love you, Daddy. Lynn

William Jesse Smith, Jr., loved his children. Jay, Chris, Carolyn, and Jesse. And he loved me, Donna, his wife and friend. He was also stubborn and hard headed, and had a wonderful sense of humor. But that is how he survive a year and a half of colon cancer. We made it through the pain and found ways of laughing. He took up smoking a pipe because he said, "They told me that if I smoke a pipe that in twenty years I would be dying of lung cancer. Sounded like a good deal to me." He also was enrolled in a correspondence course for lock smithing. Locks weigh less than fax machines, which was what he worked on before. He died one month after our 14th anniversary.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
"Life is but an empty dream!"
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. Longfellow

You touched many lives in very loving and caring ways!

Footprints
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed
across the sky. In each, I noticed
footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints:
other times there was only one.

During the low periods of my life I could see only one
set of footprints, so I said,
"You promised me, Lord, that you would
walk with me always.
Why, when I have needed you most,
were you not there for me?"

The Lord quietly replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when
you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

My dear sock-loving sister,
I can't believe that you are gone already. But I am so glad that your pain and fear are over with, when actually you were so brave. You fought for so long, and never complained.
Rest easy now, the battle is over. I miss you so. Patty

Jimmie, you haven't been gone long, but you are very much missed. We don't know why you had to leave us so soon. We weren't ready to say goodbye. We are still searching for answers as to what happened to you. Our birthdays were last week... Janis and I took Sadie (your twin) out to lunch. It was hard for us to celebrate without you. We did go to your grave and place three red roses there just for you, from us. I still get up every morning and look at your smiling face on my wall. Sometimes I cry and other times I tell you I love you and see you later. Give grandma and grandpa Smith a hug for us down here and we will send mom and dad our love from you.. One

I thought about you today, in a very special way. I thought that you were an angel watching over me. I heard you say "Go on my love, live you life. Don't worry about me, because I'm with Christ" You said to me, "I'm at rest! Go on my love, You've passed this test". Alberta
