Beloved mother. How glad I am that I was able to tell you what a wonderful mother you were. Truly a 'Steel Magnolia', your courage in the face of death was inspirational. You went the same way you lived, with dignity and calm. How we all miss your laugh, your sense of fun. I know that all of your funny little furry loved ones were waiting at the rainbow bridge for you. Wait for me. Your loving daughter.

In memory of the world's most extraordinary daughter, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Thanks to her we all learned how to live, how to listen, how to learn and how to love. In a teeny tiny frame, she was still larger than life. She had to be - she was OUR lives. Nana - if you can see this, I hope you think it's cool! "To live in the hearts of others, is not to die."

Jamie, you came into our hearts and left a mark...I will always remember you, and your smile and your kindness. Love, Miranda

PAT we love you and miss you. We hope you are up there enjoying the great jazz band in the sky. We still think about your jokes and sense of humour and we wish we could have shared more. We keep hearing stories about the people you helped and want you to know how appreciated you were. There has to be a reason why you left so soon, prehaps one day we will find out why .

For thirty years I had the privilege of knowing this special lady. She was the wife and mate of my dreams.
Anne was a gentle and caring person who always put other
people before herself.
You will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
Goff

God Bless your Sweet Soul....

My daddy didn't have much to his name but he had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. He was always there for anybody who needed him. He read a lot and knew a little about lots of stuff. If nothing else he took the time to talk and make you feel special and that it would all work out somehow. It didn't quite work out for you this time daddy. Your heart finally gave out all it had. You even called me less than an hour before you died to tell me not to worry, you were feeling better. I wish there was more I could have done for you. I love you dad. I hope you're finally able to be with mom the way you wanted these past 14 years. I'll miss you daddy, more than you'll ever know.

Our sweet son,brother and friend to many.We miss you more everyday.We will always keep you close in our hearts Love You Forever, Mom

A poem for Kat

In loving memory of a person who is missed by her relatives and friends. May she rest in peace.

" To Cindy "

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 eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine".
He 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 added so much light in my life. I miss you so much. Ann

Survived by husband Kenneth Tegland, 3 daughters, and 7 grand-daughters

My beloved big brother Peter, age 40, died on Tuesday,July 2,1996 at 5:15am PST in a buddhist hospice in San Francisco, CA where he had lived for almost one year.

Peter's death came after battling full-blown AIDs for ten years! Over the last 20 years he had formed a dissident gay caucus outside of the San Francisco Restauraunt Workers' Union and co-founded the Lesbian/Gay Labor Network in New York City. After several psychiatric incarcerations he organized other consumers/survivors in a poetry performance, "Breaking Up is Hard To DO," and later formed "Literally Committed", open poetry readings for current and former psych patients.

Peter - It has always been a pleasure being harrassed
by you!! Remember - There's always room for
Jello!!
I Love You so Much!!!
Peter's Little Sister, Susan

Words could never ever express the loss of my mother Deena. My little brothers and myself loved our mother with all of our hearts and will never forget what she did for us and what she taught us to make us better people. When my mother first got sick and was diagnosed with Breast to Bone Cancer I wrote a poem for her knowing full well one day it would be the one we placed upon her head stone. I would like to share it with all of those who read these pages and think of all of the precious souls we have all watched pass on to a better place. In loving memory of our mother: Deena J. Tennis Cowsar Our mother has now become the breeze, gently whispering through the trees Where once there was physical, now there is none Only a spirit as bright as the sun Lead us through life with a soft gentle hand, showered with love together we will stand She taught us in life just what was right So that one day our spirits would be just as bright. We Love You Mom..... April, Jesse, and Jason Your loving children

Fond memories of happiness still prevails
Days of laughters and tears still lingers
Your tender care and concern unceasing
Dearest Mom, forever I remember

A loved friend and true sister.Keysha was a mysterious girl who will linger now in everyones heart.She was a dark artist, and although a bit creepy, she was the inspiration of everything and everyone.She went through pain and horror throughout her family, but nevertheless stayed to her drawing.She could have been as famous as Piccasso..if she had the chance.

R.I.P We love you Keysha!!Have a better life up there and we will meet you soon!!

My darling, I prayed to God for 25 years to let me know if all was well with you. He did better than that...he brought us back together...if only for a brief six months....it was a glorious six months. I have always loved you and will always love you. Please give my love to our son. Please give me the strength to wait for the moment when we will kiss and love again.

Gramps, you are sorely missed by us all. Mum and Nan will never get over the pain of losing you. Though I am glad your pain and frustration are over at last. Hopefully you are safe with Uncle Bob, together again after years apart. Our love is always with you as your memory is always with us.

Love You Gramps

Dear Dad,
We never had a chance to share the deep things when you were here. I hope we can find time to share them later on. Your loving son, Russ

I miss you so much Chris. You were too young to end your life. I love you so much. I still can't beleive that it really happened. I think about you everyday. I ask myself why everyday! Why didn't I just get on the phone when you called. It is a mistake that I will regret forever! I listen to Pink Floyd and that helps me remember you're face. So many things remind me of how much of a great person you were. I would give anything to have you back.

I love you Chris!

Love,
Kristin W.

My heart contains an empty place
Which now shall always be
I close my eyes to the light
And its my fathers face I see.

Gone only in body.

Dear Lord, today I send my baby to you. Please give her wings and let her fly. She's new at this so take it slow. Teach her how they flutter by. I'll miss her so though we've never met, and I'll never know her smile, but you need her and now she's yours. She was only mine awhile. she'll never know pain. And she'll never know fear. For I know you will keep her near. And now... I close my eyes to say goodbye and watch her fly away to you. Please keep her Lord, and love her 'till I get my wings and join you too.

We love you and miss you Sarah. Love, Mommy and Daddy, big brother Kirk and big sisters, Bonnie and Hannah
