Mary Ella Whaley, age 60, Kansas City, Missouri, passed away Monday, December 9, 2002, at St. Mary's Hospital of Blue Springs. Memorial services will be held by the family. Memorial contributions may be made to Veteran of Foreign Wars Cancer Fund.

After five years of fighting cancer my mom Sharon P. Whaley went home to live in a pain free world. She never lost her faith in GOD during her very painful fight. NANA is what my children called her. That is what she would want to be remembered for. Being NANA to Kyle, Jessica, Erik, and Nanthainel. She touched so many peoples' lives. She helped when it was needed and loved all the time. I miss my mom. To have her hold me again. My mom was a great woman and is missed everyday. We love you mom.

Sharon Vanessa Whaley-Masariegos we called her Nessa. She was named for my mom Sharon P. Whaley. She was a beautiful baby. My Nessa was so ahead of her age group. Unfortunatly that took her away from me. My Nessa rolled over one night in her sleep. Now she is in heaven with her Nana. Her Brothers Kyle and Erik and her sister Jessica miss her so much. But we know that our sweet baby lives with GOD now. We miss you so much my love. Donde esta, mija? I still ask this everyday. Rest my child

After a good fight with cancer, my favorite step-dad in the world passed on to a better place. He was always quick with a joke and a laugh, even at the end. He is survived by three daughters, Mikki, 17, Jordan, 6, and Micah, 3. He has one son, Clay, 5. We will miss him dearly. He always tried hard and made his best efforts to make everyone around him happy. I know he is in a better place now where he can walk again and be a guardian angel to all of those he loved. He will always be in our hearts.... I love you dearly, Daddy.

Rest in peace, Marty. You are a good soul, and will always be loved and remembered.
~~Love forever, Mom and family.~~

Remembering our Marty....son, brother, dad...and friend. You had a sweet spirit, Marty, and never did anyone any harm. Always cheerful and kind, we will miss you until we meet again.~~Mom and brothers and Jenny~~

Loved, understood, forgiven, remembered. Rest in the peace you so desperately sought, Max.

We will always remember you. Mom and the brothers...

We love and miss you, Martin.

There are so many of us that miss you - so many of us that love you, you may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten! You touched so many peoples lives while you were on Earth, and you continue to touch them from above!! We all love and miss you Jeffery!!!

To my Father John Kimberly Wheeler know as (Kim Wheeler) Dad, there was so much I wanted to say so many things I wanted to do.before you passed, none of use ever prepare for these things and we never know when God will take us home. Im so glad you were able to see me Randall K Wheeler your son be the first wheeler to Get a Bachelors degree. I know you were proud. You were a simple man , just a steel worker many may have said, but to me you were one of the kindest people I have ever know, always giving credit but never talking any for yourself. I will miss you Dad and hope that we may again meet in heaven with our lord Jeses Christ.

Dad! Since you have left us all I feel like most people do that I did not communicate enough with you. I always wanted to make you proud and am thankful that you supported me with words more than money. It has made me stronger. If you had only known it before you died! You had 2 Great Grandchildren when you passed away. Yes! I found Nicola, now named Cathy and she now has three children.

I miss you very much and wish that you had lived longer and enjoyed more of your life with me. Your loving son Martin.

You were, and in many ways still are, my best friend. If I could have picked a brother, you would have been it. I miss your humor, your laugh, your talent for the beautiful and the absurd. My life is more wonderful for knowing you and less wonderful for not having you here now. I hope you are at peace. Goodbye sweet friend.

Mom... You and Dad were the best parents any kid could possibly wish for. I miss your laugh, sense of humor, how you were always cooking something wonderful, Our times in the casinos and the overwhelming amount of love you gave all of us. You and Dad are the reason I am where I am today. Thank you both for everything. I miss you...

I miss you more than anyone could ever know. You were a father that others could only dream of. I'm sorry I was never able to tell you that I love you. I know you are in heaven, it's the only place for such a wonderful man. If I can be atleast half the father you were, I know my family will have a happy life. I hope to be with you when my time comes.

My Dear Husband. It has been 14 long years since you departed this earth. You were only 36 years when God called you to his home. All the pain and suffering that you had to endure because of your illness has been replaced with eternal peace and joy knowing that you are with our Lord. You are with me everyday in my heart, thoughts, and dreams. The love, strength, and encouragement you gave me is forever planted in my heart. I will always love you. "Oh Death Where Is Thy Sting", "Oh Grave Where Is Thy Victory"

marjorie, you were my best friend, and like a second mother to me; when i wanted to sing in compertitions you were there with your love strength and support; and if any one was ill you would be there your my life and my star i will miss you every day, and i wish we could of said goodbye!!! love always and forever lesley

Waiting for our little boy Miles,

I cry everyday for us. For you, because you will never share life with your family, those who love you so much already. For us, because we will never see your smile or feel your tiny arms holding us close.

I ask God everyday why he needs you. Why you can't grow up with your brothers who love and need you. Why your daddy has to feel such pain.

I pray everyday that you already know how much you are loved. I pray that you can hear us talking to you inside me, that you can feel your daddy's touch, Michael's kisses, Alex's hugs and Dylan's head lying close to yours.

I wish everyday that you were not so sick and you were coming home with us. Sometimes I wish you could stay inside me forever, so you could live and I could be with you, my son.

I am afraid everyday that once you leave me the lonliness will be more than I can bear. I fear the emptiness inside without you there and without you in my arms.

I hope everyday, Miles, that you are in God's arms. I hope you will hear our prayers for you and know that even though we only had a short time to be with you, you are our son, our love, our angel and you will be missed everyday.

A part of your soul will live in each of our hearts and will shine brightly forever. Love Mommy, Daddy, Dylan, Alex and Michael

My big sister Judy,who was also like a mother to me.I will miss you a lot. Until we meet again, I love you. Your Sister Teresa.

Famous restaurant manager extraordinare, truly missed and loved by many.

Dan, I wish I could remember if I said I love you the last time we talked.I will never stop wishing I had come to see your house and you. Would something have changed how that day ended. Over and over we had to see them bring you out in a body bag. Died barefoot and proably grinning like the big old clown that you were. But now I know that you weren't scared and the granny's came and got you and took you with them. And when Jennifer died the same way in 97 I know you were there holding your hand out for her to grab and you kept her feeleing safe and at peace. We always said that maybe life was to hard for you to live. Or maybe you talent for laughter was needed elsewhere. I will be so glad to see you again when it is my turn. all your life I took care of you my little brother, and now I guess you will watch out for me. Love, Big Sis LaLa

Todd, we miss you so much, i hope you really didnt kill yourself, and if not, then i hope someway, some how we will get a sign showing what happened to you. we will always believe that you were murdered. We just cant prove it. My son is due exactly on the anniversary of your 1 year death, im trying to think of a name for him after you.

i love you,
kasey woodley lamb

Each passing day I think of something that I have learned from you. My life is filled with many changes and many times I would stop and ask myself what would DW do? You are truly missed by all! Thankyou for being a part of my life, and showing me what it means to live. This poem "Your Gift" by Grace Easley, expresses my sentiment for what I lost. You've given me a priceless gift, I'll handle it with great care. The golden gift of friendship so wonderful and fair. Because of this I'm wiser, and I think I'm kinder too; How many things in life I missed, Dear Friend, Till I met you. I never knew the glory that surrounds God's earth and skies, Until one day I learned to see true beauty through your eyes. The gentleness that's part of you is like the flower that grow, making life more beautiful through days that come and go. You bring a warmth of deep contentment and understanding too; O Friend of mine, I didn't know what FRIENDSHIP was....Till You! !

Grandma although it is almost 30 years since you went to be with your heavenly father. I still remember you with the fondest of memories. You were the daughter of David Marion Steele and Kittie Inman. Wife of Lewis Thomas White and Mother of Edna Catherine, Harold and Marion White. Grandmother and Great Grandmother of Many and loved by all.

You are in our heart's forever, I can't describe in words how wonderful you were or how much love you gave us. You will be sorely missed by your children Micheal and Margaret, Your GrandChildren Shaun, David, Micheal, Deborah, Tracy, Sean, Sian, Julie & Jackie , Your Great GrandChildren Sarah-Louise, Melissa-Suzanne, Robert, Emma & new edition Kyle. You are finally at peace and you can watch over us from heaven, We love you "Little Nan".

Rest in peace now my dear friend.Love you & see you soon. Betty

Pooh, At least I know that when you died I had told you that I loved you. And Dick got to be the last one before that murderer killed you to see you alive. I swear he misses you so much, we all do. But I guess that you were needed somewhere else too. We will always miss you with your gentle heart and beautiful purple eyes. Some times I miss you so bad the it is hard for me to breathe. I feel like there is a houge boulder sitting on my chest when I realize that in order for me to see you again I am going to have to die. I sit on the porch thinking about all the times we spent on the porch. You were the child of my heart even though mom had you.... You were mine. I will always remember how when you were little we shared a room and cuddled at night time so you would feel safe. I wish so much that I could have kept you safe from him but it wasn't meant to be I guess. I will always miss you so much that I swear my heart is broken. I miss your smile and laugh. We both will I think till we die. You and Dan hold on to each other and we will see you soon. Love forever, Big Sis.... LaLa

Grandad it has been 37 years since you went to your heavenly home, now you Grandma, Mom and Dad are all there having a joyful reunion. I miss all so very much. Till we meet again. I love you all. Carol

A well known man. A good father and family man. A community role model. He will be missed.

She was good lady who had a lot of joy to give. She was the owner of the Benton Couier, an original stock holder of Benton State Bank, and a founder of Saline County Hospital. She was a world traveler as well as a dominate politican in the early 30's Arkansas. She will be missed by all.

I wana somehow let my grandmother know how much I loved her and miss her. she left so quickly and I never expected this at that time.. even though you don't get to say goodbye I hope she knows how much she was loved..

You are missed and thought of everyday. Your smile and laughter will always be remembered with joy. Noone will ever be as blessed as I was to have a grandfather and bestfriend as you.

Tim was a very sweet person. He was caring and very loving. He died a very tragic death. "Tinny Tim" was his nickname to quite a few people. Tim wasn't the most popular but he had a good personality and that's what counted to him. We love and miss you Tim.

2 little hands – that will never grip
2 little legs that no longer kick
A delicate face that will never cry
And tiny hands that can’t wave goodbye
2 precious feet that will never walk
Soft, blue lips that will never talk
But a beautiful soul that has gone up above
And left me with feelings and memories of love!

A Child Loaned I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine he said For you to love the while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three but will you, 'til I call her back, take care of her for me? I've looked this whole world overIn my search for teachers true And from the throngs that crowd lifes lanesI have selected you. I cannot promise she will stay,Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. Now will you give her all your love? not think the labour vain? Nor hate me when I come to call and take her back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear lord thy will be done For all the joy thy child shall bring The risk of grief we'll run We'll shelter her with tenderness We'll love her while we may and for the happiness we've known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for her Much sooner than we planned We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand. Love you and miss you always, Mummy

Caroline was my big sister and we'll all miss her so very much. She died aged 29 and it was so sudden that I'm not sure it'll ever feel real. I'll always expect her to walk through the door and it all be a mistake somehow.
Caroline was the second of three children. Her mum will always miss her but know shtat she is with her daddy again after so many years of missing him.
We'll love and miss her forever xxx

Millie was the best mother in law anyone could of asked for. Her love and adoration of her son Ricky was unconditional. This woman taught me a lot about life and why we are here. She was so strong and yet so tiny....I miss her everyday.

In memory of my dad.He was more than just a dad, having raised 3 children on his own, he also shared the title of 'MOM'. You couldn't ask for a more caring, gentle, man in the world. You taught me well dad, in all my successes or accomplishments in life, I have you to thank! You were my best friend. Though you may be gone, you are remembered each and every day in my heart. Oh, and through all your 'corny' jokes in which I repeat on a daily basis. I will always miss you. I love you dad
Love,
Kimmy

Katherine (Kat, Kitten, Kathy) was said to be one of the most talented musicians who ever performed on the double bass. She graduated from the University of Colorado on full scholarship and was a graduate student majoring in Music Performance. She was the first double-bassist to win the concerto competition at CU and also in high school competition in Albuquerque NM. A famous musical judge said that she played like she had a "heart of pure gold". In addition to her genius in music, she had an infectious laugh, a warm and caring personality, a tremendous sense of humor, an inerrant sense of right and wrong, and incredible strength and determination. Kathy overcame many handicaps in her life and always succeeded and usually smiled through adversity and challenge. She is greatly missed by her sister, brother, many friends and colleagues and of course, her parents. The world is a better place because Katherine lived and gave generously to all who knew her!!!

Mom, I know that we had our troubles, especially in the last 3 years. I will always regret not calling you or coming to see you after our last falling out. I can only pray that you always knew how much I loved you and missed you. Pride is a terrible thing and if your death has taught me anything, it is to always talk things out and to never shut out anyone I love. I don't know how many times I picked up the phone to call you but for some reason, I just couldn't and now I know that will be my biggest regret for the rest of my life.

Dora was the daughter of the late Vera Clark (1977) and the late Gordon Clark (1972). She is the mother of Evelyn Peltier of Welland Ontario Canada. She was married to George for 18 years. She passed away January 25, 2001 in Leamington, Ontario Canada. Mom's big passion in life was her pets and she left behind 2 dogs, Rex and Buddy, 6 cats and 2 budgies. If Mom could have she would have had every stray animal in the town. Thats where I get my love of animals from. She taught me that all animals are lovable, no matter how bad they may seem. I miss you so much Mom and George and I are getting along better now. Weird huh? Its all you ever wanted. I am so grateful that George was there for you right to the end, he really did love you. I see that now. We will be together again one day and I will finally be able to hug you again. Love, your only daughter and only child, Evelyn.

In loving memory for my dear friend who left us at such a young age. May you rest in peace and may you have eternal serenity!

this is for my sister janey.she was only 28 when she died,and left a little boy of 3yrs.janey your at peace now an angel up there like you were an angel down. here thinking of you always big sis xxxxxx.

My dearest Sydney,

For eight years we tried to have a baby and when we found out we were pregnant is was the most exciting thing to ever happen to us. And when we found out twins it was even more beautiful.

There are times I still feel you moving inside me... I remember it like it's happening now. When you and your sister had to come early we were frightened but so proud that you did so well. A 32 week pregnancy and a baby girl the size of a 25 weeker.. a miracle they told us that you survived and could breath room air. You were truly an angel. We were so proud of you that you did so well while we struggled with your sister being sick.

It was what I thought would be one of the hardest days for us when you got sick and had your surgery. We were so happy when you made it out and seemed to be doing good. How could we know the pain you would endure for the next week before you would finally leave us.

Sweetie, we miss you so much. The five weeks we had with you were the best ever and we would never change anything if it means we got to be with you for that brief period of time.

We hope that you are looking down on us and over your sister and that you are happy where you are. We miss you so much but are glad you aren't in any pain anymore.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Craig,
You left us at such a young age and I never really got a chance to tell you how much I Loved You..I miss you with all my heart, but also know that no are no longer in pain.
You are forever in my heart and dreams!
Rest In Peace Little Brother
Love Forever
Diana

The most wonderful mother a son could ask for. So caring, so understanding. Missed each and every day of the year.

He was a good friend to many,especially me.We had lost touch over the last few years and I just found out he passed away yesterday 6-9-98.Even though we hadn't spoken during these last few years you were in my thoughts and I especially regret that I never contacted you when I was told by a mutual friend that you were sick.You were always there for me as a friend when we were teenagers hanging out and even after we all went our separate ways.I'll always hold fond memories of you and I know you are now at peace. I'll remember you always. MJ

This is for the best dad in the world...miss you everyday will never forget you
