I miss you so much Dad. Wish I could talk to you. You were ready to go but I really wasn't ready to let you. Even though I told you it was ok. Hope you forgive me for everything. You suffered enough. God knew it was your time. We're all watching over Mom. I know you are too. See you soon. Love, Your daughter Linda

My dearest Aunt Millie, Sadly you are gone - it is hard for me to believe, though I know you were sick most of 1998. Yet! you were SO stubborn and REFUSED to go to a doctor or a hospital. How I wish the situation could have been better where I could have gone to live with you in Michigan, but I couldn't - you knew my circumstances. It just wasn't meant to be. Yet - we made our visits together all memorable and the last few weeks, I have often thought of what went on between us - all the fun we had, the places we went together. I shall miss you greatly - as your expression - you were a corker, dear Aunt Millie 8) I shall always love you. siempre, Mike

Heidi died on doing what she loved most, hiking with Batona hiking club, being in nature, enjoying a beautiful day outdoors. Her gently curious and warm spirit will continue on in my memory.
It was told to me by a fellow hiker that in his last conversation with Heidi that morning of, she expressed a strong desire to be on the trail that day and help out with trail maintenance. It was something she just felt a "need to do."

mother, God has called you home. We know it was God's will, but we will allways love you. You will forever live in our hearts. Your children & grandchildren

The kindest, most gentle, mother,grandmother,and wife.
She is surely in heaven. ALWAYS a gentle word, and a gentle
touch for everyone she ever knew. The world could really use
a lot more like her. Rest easy Grandma. We all miss you and
love you very much.

For my best friend 1st and my uncle 2nd.
One of life's nicest guys to come down that road.
His concern for those around him that he knew,and
didn't know, is a beacon for all people to follow.
What a great guy. Uncle Art when you're sitting down
with all the family in heaven say HI for all of us
here. Rest easy Buddy!!!!

For My Brother Chuck!!!
A wonderful Son,Brother,Uncle and Husband.
With Chuck's concern for wolves I know he's
watching over them in the wild. You rest easy
brother,we love you very much.Say hello to Mom, and Dad
for all of us!!!

Shirley Wolkotte Is surely in heaven with my father.
A wonderful example of a mother,sister,aunt,and grandmother. She worked all of her life for her family. The most important
part of her life was the love she had for my father.
My mother will be missed so much by all of her family,
and friends but never forgotten. Rest easy Mom. You deserve
it. All Our Love Forever!!!

Although Grandpa died before I was born I feel we all
knew him through my Dad. I've been told the mold only
made two, my dad and my grandfather. Rest easy Grandpa.
Give grandma a kiss for all of us.

For My Brother John
He was a great father,son and brother. His biggest pride
was his two sons. They were his very world.
I like to call him the "Unknown Beatle". His work with
the guitar was wonderful, and the influence The Beatles
made on his music could be felt in all his writings.

His minor health problems,I beieve,could be blamed on
Vietnam. Enough said about that place.

You keep Rockin' John... We Love You Very Much... Peace...

All You Need Is Love!!!

In Memory of My Father, John Wolkotte,Sr.

He was the gentlest person alive,and taken all too soon.
I think his fondest memories,when he was alive,were that
of his parents and siblings. They were so important to
him,and his feeling this way served to build a stronger
family bond with his wife and children.

If you were fortunate to know him you would also know
how deeply in love with my mother Shirley he was. It
showed through every hour of every day.

What a wonderful husband,father,and best friend he was.
He died 2 days before Christmas in 1973, and we still
miss him as it was yesterday.

My mum was the best ever (as all mum's are) She had been divorced from my dad about 21 years but they got on well. Her diagnosis of breast cancer was a real shock and she died a few months before her big 60th bash and 4 days after my dad died suddenly of cancer as well, ironically they both died at the same time 10.35pm. she would have loved her funeral. we had printed leaflets with her photo inside for people to take home and people signed a 'visitors' book as there were so many who came to her funeral. i miss her dreadfully and so do my children. they are growing up without a nana and she will never see them start secondary school, pass exams, get a job, marry and have children and i miss her for that. my mum left in me a legacy of battle, justice and spirit. mothers day isnt the same for me, its a time of ache for her not a time of happiness for my kids. Treasure your mums, its a long time without them.

Angel on Earth. She touched the life of everyone who knew her. A true Saint who finally has her wings. Her virtues were innumerable. This world caught a glimpse of heaven while she was on it. The Proverbs 31 woman. She will never be forgotten.

Our dearest and beloved father and grandfather called Home peacefully to be with THE LORD is his Kingdom. Jesus said: "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he die, yet he shall live and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." John 11:25-26. Therefore though saddened by his earthly departure, we know that we will be meeting again in God's Kingdom.

Beloved wife of Colin Wong, loving mother of Anthony, Angelina, Elizabeth, Jennifer, and Cynthia.

Judy and Bailey Wong died together October 30, 1994 in Vancouver, B.C. My Mother and Sister will be missed dearly be all.

My dear baby angel Kai Anthony. I blieved you would be here with us because you were supposed to be. When we found out you were so sick our hearts were broken. My heart aches for you everyday. A day doesn't pass that a million things don't remind me of you. Even though you were only with me for 26 1/2 weeks, you were my baby boy. When you were born you looked so much like your brother. My heart broke never to be mended that day. Our life goes on but so differently now. The realization of you never being with us here on earth takes me back to that empty feeling. I wish you were here with me. I miss you so very much. Your sisters and brother miss and love you although they never even had the chance to know you. You're a piece to our puzzle that is missing. One day we will all be together in a place where there is no pain or suffering. Until then my little man. Over the stars and past the moon wait for me on a beautiful white cloud. We all love you.

Love, Mommy & Daddy

My father was a very special man. Though small in stature, he was a giant in the ways that counted most. The term many used was "kind", this being true only scratched the surface of the personality of this truly loving individual. He touched the hearts of those he met, and became father and grandfather to those needing advice.

He was loved and will be missed by not only me, but by hundreds all over the world.

Our dear little grandson/nephew/son. You came into this world too soon. You put up a good fight to be with us all. And we thank you for that. Even though we got to be with you and touch you for just shy of two months, we loved you dearly. Thank you for touching our lives, and so many other peoples lives with the strength you had for such a tiny little baby. We miss you dearly. But we are at peace that you are with your sister Jazmin, and with Jesus. Watch over you mommy and daddy. And when it is our time to join you and Jazmin, we will all rejoice together in God's perfect peace. With all our love. Grandma Wong Yuen.

Jazmin, our first granddaughter/niece/daughter... you will always be in our hearts...never forgotten. Some day we will all be together again.

I Miss You

Garth, I never took the opportunity to tell you how much I admired and respected you. Your whole family loved you so much, and we miss you terribly. Thanks for your love.

Loving husband to Lesley and father to Lloyd, Roger and Ashleigh. Sorely missed.

he left too soon from a habit I started him on he should still be playing his guitar but he sold it for drugs what an ass

Dear Mom, I love you and miss you so much every day. Thank you so much for all you did for me when my parents were both killed when I was 2. I know you did give up much of your life and freedom to do that, THANK YOU! I am still in Texas, day in and day out...... You always showed me love and care and I can never thank you enough for that. I know I was a very difficult child, and I'm sorry for any trouble I caused you. I am so glad I was able to be there with you when you recieved the calling to join my Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Aunt Fay,and Rich. Now Uncle Larry is with you as well. I will always have only the fondest memories of you, and all the love you gave me. I cannot wait till the day we meet again, then I will finally be with my family. Lots of love, Your granddaughter, April

I can't begin to understand why. I wish I could have been there for you, as you always were for me. You are forever in my thoughts and please don't worry about your mum, I will look after her for you.
All my love George xx

One year since you left us,
We plan to have a party to celebrate your life,
Jack Daniels all round !!
But it won't be the same without you there.
love George and friends. xxx.

Nine years since you left us, and eight years since I visited this site last. I still think about you everyday - and miss you. So much has happened since you left.

To My Dearest Neil, Mon Cher. If only you could hear me saying how much I love you, words that I have never said because I was too selfish. And now it's just too late... I don't know what should I do now in this world without you, I feel so lonely and I miss you so much. I wish to hear your voice again asking me whether I'am happy or not. I wish to see your beautifull smile again and have the feeling that I'm the most happiest person on earth to be able to see it. I really need you Neil. I never did anything good to you, and I'm really sorry. I hope you know that I really care for you, and wish that you are happy now. Thank you so much for being my friend. I will always love you... God please, let us be together again one day.

Mom, I miss you and think of you all the time. You always tried to help me because you knew I was the weakest one, and I thank you for that. I'm not sure how well what you tried to teach me stuck, but I do know that I love you, respect you and admire you, and I'll never forget you. You were a kind, gentle woman who worked hard and loved your family deeply. You're missed every day, but I know you're with God. I'm so glad I could be with you at the end. You're always in my prayers.

Suella Jean Wood was the best mother and friend in the world.When cancer took her from us 2 days before Christmas in 1996,It was the most horrific thing to happen to me.I will always miss her.

We All Miss You Granddaddy!!!!!

My beautiful baby Angel, died so young, so tiny, all I had left of you was an arm, so perfectly formed, yet so tiny, but in my mind I see you complete.Not a day goes by without you in my thoughts and tears, but I know that you are at peace in your grandma's garden and we will never forget what you might have been. You were saved from growing into a cruel world, that I am thankful of, not thankful that I never got to hold you or look into your eyes or say I love you, but I do love you and always will. Your loving mummy and brothers and sister. Never forgotten my tiny tiny tiny princess. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Uncle Billy died many years ago from a Heart Attack at a young age, leaving young children and a wife at home. He joined Clint and Leona Woodman (his parents) and his brother Tommy in Heaven. He left behind his brothers Carl and Clinton Woodman and his sisters Birdie Waters and Patsy Tucker as well as several nephews and nieces. More recently he was joined in Heaven by my aunt Birdie and my daddy (Clinton). I miss you Uncle Billy and I love you.... Your Niece, Fawn

My Grandpa Goody(as my brother and I called him) died in Scenectady, NY He was the husband of Leona (King) Woodman and father to Tommy Woodman, Billy Woodman, Carl Woodman, Clinton Woodman, Patsy Tucker, and Birdie Waters...as well as grandfather to many. Though its been years and years I remember him and my Grandma Goody visiting my parents, me and my brother in Sagamore and buying my brother and I ice cream from the Ice Cream Man at 8am. I miss you grandpa....and I know your spending lots of time with Grandma Goody, Uncle Tommy, Uncle Billy, and Aunt Birdie as well as my daddy (Clint) who passes away after you. I love you Grandpa Goody :)

My daddy died on Wenesday morning on March 3rd, 1999....about 4 wks after learning he had Cancer. He promised to me, the last time I saw him, that he would fight it, but unfortunately he was never given that chance. He served in the US Navy, worked for the Nantucket Police Dept., worked for United Parcel Service for about 15 years, and worked for the Dennis- Yarmouth School Dept. for about 11 years. My daddy was most proud of his grandson and best friend JT (James Thomas). He left behind his wife Carol S. Woodman of almost 31 years (3 months shy), left behind a son Tommy Woodman (age 26), a daughter Fawn Arlene Woodman (age 29), and her son JT (age 8 1/2 years) and her daughter Brittany Renee' (age 18 months old)...he also left behind a brother Carl Woodman and a sister Patsy Tucker...as well as several neices and nephews.

I have not grieved yet for you cause I dont know how...I know I miss you and I wish you were here instead...I am glad that I spoke to you the day on Tuesday before you left us, I just wish I had said more to you (like "Dont Go"). JT has not grieved for you yet....he will start Hospice's Kids Grieve Too in a week or two. I love you more than anything Daddy.....and I miss you so much........ Daddy's Little Girl, Fawn

Uncle Tommy.....you died at such a very young age (if I remember correctly, you were about 28-29)....I remember that day clearly cause it tore our whole family apart. It took so long to finally find out cause of your death....stomach anuerism. Daddy and I used to say that you weren't really dead, but that you were in Witness Protection, I thats what we really wanted to believe. You joined Grandma and Grandpa Goody in Heaven (and thankfully you didnt die before Grandma Goody....she wouldve been devastate)...You have since been joined by Uncle Billy, Aunt Birdie, as well as my daddy, your brother Clinton. Its been awhile since your death, but I miss you like crazy...and I will always love you Uncle Tommy. Your Niece, Fawn

George Leslie Woodriff, owner of Fairyland Begonia and Lily Gardens in McKinleyville, Ca. died on Feb. 12, 1997. He was world famous for his lily and begonia hybridization and many of the best lilies and begonias in the world today are here because he created them. Leslie, as he was known to most people was in failing health for the last 8or 9 years, but still took part almost daily in the operation of the Gardens he worked in for over 60 years. He told his son once that "everyone should try to leave the world a better place than they found it." He certainly did accomplish his goal. Woodriff leaves his 5 children and 6 grand children and 6 great grandchildren. His brother Alvin of Grants Pass Oregon also survives. His wife of almost 50 years passed away in 1989.

One of the greatest ladies I know! Neno, you always had a nice thing to say about everyone you met. I am sure you are in Heaven!! Put in a good word for me:) Take care of Mom too, we miss you both very much. All my love to you, Traci Lee

Ike, you are very loved and greatly missed by your whole family, especially your sisters. Everyday we wish you were here with us to play ball in the yard like we used to.

To a Mother we never knew and whose love we never experienced - God chose to take you from us. May this be a lasting memorial from the children you never knew - Joyce and Barry.

i miss you more everyday you will be in my heart for ever me and you will be together forever i love you always love mummy

My dear father who died six years ago, he is still very much missed by all who knew him, my comfort is that he is with my mother PAMELA MARY WOODS nee Reddish, she died in May 1970 when I was 13 years old and I still miss her. This message is sent with so much love.

We thought, with your history, you would be first. You survived nine years more. It is more unbelievable than I could have imagined that you are gone. We believed that you were immortal. Oh, Mother. Don't go. Were you happy here, as I know you must be now? We don't think to ask until it is too late. I miss you so. I love you, Mother. As long as you were here, I was a child. I loved being a child. A feeling...an emotion I took so for granted. Every once in a while, Mother, please reach down and hold me. I love you...I love you...I love you...

I miss you. It was so sudden and unexpected. I'm sorry I didn't get to you in time. I can't really explain to anyone what happened to me in the car on the way to you that night. I checked the time of your transition---it was the same time. I wish I could remember. But, I know you were there and I know my soul remembers. Thank you for the treasure of those ten minutes. Thank you for the treasure of your love. I love you, Daddy.

I should not be the one to write the memorial for Hazel. So many of her friends were closer, had known her through the earlier years in theatre, or as a young mother of two daughters. But Tony Bakstad(q.v.) and I met her in the early years of our relationship and she shared so many of our hopes and dreams, and allowed us to enjoy the company of her children through their growing years. Her warmth of spirit and non-judgemental approach to other people brought her an appreciative group of grateful friends. She had a keen concern for social justice across all strata of society, regardless of creed or colour, and I learned much from her. Her marriage to John Woodvine foundered, but they remained on good terms and she set out to build a new independent life. Quite late in life she studied once again and became a Counsellor working among families stricken with AIDS related illness in South London. She poured her energy into this work, perhaps in response to the loss of some of her close friends from HIV. She had to face her own diagnosis of cancer, and did so with the enormous courage that people somehow bring to bear. Her death came as a terrible shock to us all, and many are still grieving her loss from the world of theatre, her family, and among those who worked in HIV - AIDS care in Lambeth. Robert Vickery

Rest in peace, beloved brother.

Love, Hazel

Peggy, I miss you so much. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful friend. You left us to soon. You and I had plans to travel after our children were on their own. We had planned to grow old gracefully together being friend for- ever. Your children miss you so much, but since you can no longer be my praying partner I'll have to carry on alone. P.J. I miss you so much. Someday I'll join you, and we'll never part again.

Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you; Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving; Unless you can die when the dream is past... Oh, never call it loving. -- Robert Browning -- Elizabeth Carmouche' Wooley was the epitome of selflessness. She was generous in all things, and the giving of herself most of all. She was unique. My mom... hero, friend, confidante, supporter. She was all things to me. You are forever loved, mom. You will be forever mourned. You will be forever missed. 'bo'

Dear Mom, You were the most influential person in my life. I miss you dearly. You taught me right from wrong and that life is also very short no matter what we think. I'm sorry for your pain and suffering. I truly wanted the best for you always. You are in my heart and I think of you every day. I hope you are happier where you are now. I also miss Jay and I hope you are with him and you are both happy. God Bless you both. Your daughter....Love Dana
PS> We miss Jay, too. Eric lives with us now. We are happy to have him. He graduated school and he did well. You would be proud of him. He misses you, too. We have your photos around the house so I can still see your beautiful smile every day.

Remembering a tiny flower I never knew, but meant so much.

Daddy,

It has been many months since I lost you and with each day passing the pain gets a little easier. I imagine that heaven is beautiful this time of year with the flowers in bloom and all the little angels viewing all og God's imagery. Your smile could brighten and oh how I wish I could see it one more time. In each star that appears in the night sky I hope to see that twinkle in your eye. Close your eyes daddy and rest your tired feet. While you are up there watching over me I am down here making sure you are not forgotten. i love you and miss you so much cowboy. Night sleepyhead
Carol

Life is not the same, I miss you so much.
You added a lot, your own special touch.
Sunday's are worst, You don't walk through the door
For coffee at 9 then dinner and chores.
I'd love to go with you, my job here's not through.
I have family to care for, as if I were you.
Death used to scare me, but not anymore
You are there waiting, where all angels sore.
Please know I love you and know you live on
In my heart and others you will never be gone.

I love you Dad. And we all miss you very much.
Love,
Sandi

I would like to send my condolences to the friends and families of the many victims from the attack on America that took place September 11, 2001. This is a catastophic and unforgettable event to have taken place. It's almost surreal, and unbelievable that this has happened. But I am sure it is very real to those people who survived the attack, or hose who lost a loved one. I hope the people responsible pay for what they have done, and I hope America can prevent anything like this from happening again. We as American have to now band together and be stronger than we ever have. We must come together as a nation, put aside our differences, and be proud of our country. May our Heros Rest In Peace. God Bless The USA.

To our Best Man, D.J.: May you find peace in the mountains, dear friend .... You are missed and loved, and you will always be remembered. Sleep tight. J, J & C Orlando, FL 1984 - 1999

Ragnhild Wouters, My wonderful, strong, beautiful Mom has left us for now. I miss her on a daily basis and find peace in the fact that I will be with her again someday. She left me a poem & it said "Never, ever be afraid to die for I am waiting for you in the sky!". Mommy if you can see this I love you and miss you so much, Dad and the rest of the family are lost without your guidance and comfort and cheer that you always were so generous with even when you were so sick from all the Chemo-therapy. I hope you are in peace and know that I love you with all my heart and always will. Bye Mommy........
