Un piccolo ricordo per te Mamma. Rimmarrai per sempre nel mio cuore. Il tuo Bruno

Momma Mary, I am so sorry I was not there with you at the end. I know you were so alone. You were a good Mom to me although at the time I thought you were to stearn but my life is much better for it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me, you were the best gardian anyone could have asked for. I miss you Momma and Nana Mary my children miss you too. Your Loving Daughter Carol

My beautiful little angel Bruce. We miss you so very much. We'll always love you. We cant wait till we all meet again. You will always be on our minds, and in our hearts. Especially your beautiful smile. Until then, just keep on having a great time in heaven. Love always, your mommy, Liz.

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye woman, if you can. I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the east doth hold. My love is such that rivers cannot quench, Nor aught but love from thee, give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay, The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let's so perservere That when we live no more, we may live ever. Oz, I miss you terribly. Leslie

Landon,
Though it is hard to believe, a year has already gone by since that tragic day on April 1, 2004. It still feels like it was just yesterday! There are so many things that I miss about you. Your sense of humor, your smile, your love of life! I know that you are up there in Heaven entertaining all the Angels and making them smile just like the way you made all of us smile! I can't wait to see there!!!
Bye for now,
Jennifer

In memory of my Dad who I loved so much. although I miss him greatly, I feel that he is finally free to be happy. Maybe now he has found the peace and happiness that was missing here on earth. God rest his soul.

He was my grandfather, and a great friend to all that knew him. He loved nature shows and magazines. He was from Colorado and was a miner at Climax. I loved my grandpa very much, and he was the only grandfather I really knew. One thing I will always remember is that he was always worried about whether me and my sister liked our Christmas presents, and I wish he knew that I always loved anything he ever gave me. Even if it was a shirt that didnt fit or a box of chocolates. He gave me the best present one year which was a pair of parakeets, which I had wanted for a long time. I wish I had spent more time with him than I did. He loved animals and always sent me his animal magazines when he was done with them because he knew I liked them.Oh and how he loved to cook! He was always making BBQ ribs and spaghetti and all kinds of foods for his friends. But he always had to have it piping hot with chilies.I am very sad that he is gone and I just want everyone to know how great he was. Even if I never told him. I will miss you always Grasndpa. And who will I sit next to at Thanksgiving and Christmas? I know that you will be there in spirit. I love you Grandpa.

"Dad" Velcoff, To try to sum up in a few words, about how wonderful,loving & caring a man he was(is still)just can't be done.He always tried his best to help others, he loved helping others in need, even if it meant putting himself out. He would do it. Without even a second thought. He always treated everyone like family, whether they were or not. He loved his children & all of his grandchildren with all of his heart & soul.He was a 1 in a millon grandpa.I will never forget him and all that he did for my children (some of his grandchildren) & myself.He was there at a time when I needed him most.He stepped up for me, when everyone else turned their backs and "couldn't" be bothered. Something I will be ETERNALLY grateful for.He was a great cook.(more like a chef). If he wasn't cooking chorizo and eggs, or making his homemade salsa. Then he was making his one of a kind ribs.(on the BBQ or otherwise)He loved spicy food and would make the best spicy homemade burritos anyones ever tasted! He grew his own little red peppers and cased them in oil,to make them even hotter!He was a very hard worker and always gave his all in everything he did.I will never forget or let your grandchildren forget what a truely wonderful grandfather you are!You will live in our hearts forever...You are truely my hero...I think of you and miss you every single day. and that will never change... We love you, always and forever, Love (your daughter,Chrissi & grandchildren... Petey,Anthony & Hope)

My father achieved many things during his life. He was a golden gloves boxer in his early years, then became a redwood tree trimmer and on to become an underground miner. He loved kids, jazz music, fishing and was a great cook.His best achievement was being a great father to me. Though he was not my biological father, I loved him very much. He was in my mind, "My Father" and always will be. I will miss you dad. Love, your daughter Linda

Alla mia amata mamma Disma.

Non è stata una vita facile, la tua.
Avevi combattuto contro il male con una forza e un coraggio che lasciava tutti increduli. La vita poteva averti segnato nel corpo,ma non ti aveva mai domato.
E ogni giorno nuovo era una conquista, tenace, testarda, caparbia.
Te ne sei andata in un soffio, strappata da un artiglio più profondo.
Mi manca il profumo di sugo sulle scale, la besciamella delle tue lasagne, lo stridore delle ruote un po’ sgonfie, i tuoi rimproveri, le commissioni da sbrigare, i piccoli bisticci, l’evento mondano della settimana: la spesa al GS al venerdì.
Mi consola la certezza di aver fatto almeno una cosa giusta, ai tuoi occhi. E voglio pensare che ora sei con papà in un posto dove non c’è dolore.

Ciao mamma.

Tua figlia, che è parte di te.

Mommy loves you ... and I think about you every day ...

Ik groet je en "untill we meet again" Theo Fibbe

Carla was my beloved mother, she was always there for the family, but even for complete strangers when they needed help. She brought food to old people who couldn't take care of themselves and helped them with everything. in oktober 1994 she didn't feel well and her legs and belly were painfull. She was hospitalized, and the doctors searched for pneumonia, but is wasn't. It took 4 weeks before the doctors could tell us that it was cancer. Probably in the lungs and it was very likely that the cancer was at more organs. She was transported to the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek ziekenhuis in Amsterdam a hospital specialised in cancer, after we begged for it. She got a lot of complications and the blood was too thick at one moment and the next moment much too thin. She got trombose everywher even in her heart so the heart was damaged and even in her brains so she couldn't speak well by times and at last she could't breathe well because of the damaging in her brains caused by the trombose, She died at 30 december 1994 when the family was holding her hand. We are all very sad and thinking about my great mom every day and missing her. She was a fantastic women, maybe she was too good for this world. The most beautiful flowers are taken the first.

And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me ?

P.B. Shelley

Je te cherche par delà l'attente
Par delà moi-même
Et je ne sais plus tant je t'aime
Lequel de nous deux est absent.

Our darling eldest son. Killed so tragically in a traffic accident of which he was neither the driver or the cause. It has been a little over two years and still we grieve and miss him terribly.

To our uncle, you are once again with your brothers Gennaro & Jim, God blessed all of us by given us you, and God blessed you. We all miss you dearly, Ray, Cece, Michael & Jessica.

As a child I felt so honored to have the same birthday as my uncle Gennaro. This past year was the first time in 54 years I had the day all to myself...I don't like it that way. Both of my uncles, Vincent & Gennaro, made major impacts on our all of our family members. Uncle Gennaro, I will never forget you.

Ray

For those of you who didn't know her, you missed a good one. Always giving, never taking. Am I prejudice, yes, because I feel I had the greatest mother in the world. She touched so many people with her kindness. I regret that I never took the time to tell her that: I love you.

Yesterday would have been our twenty fourth anniversary. I still can not believe you are gone. Every day that I wake up it seems like a bad dream. I miss your smile and your sense of humor and having you here with me and the kids. They lost the best father in the world and I lost my best friend. You are in our hearts and minds every day. Remember you promised to be there waiting for me. Love, Cece

To my uncle, you are missed, you are not forgotten. Thank you for everything.

Ray

Big brother Vincent (better known as Jim). When we were kids you were a true big brother. You helped me in many ways. I haven't forgotten that and I'll never forget you.
