Troy Moross 12/23/74 - 2/24/01 Murdered "Things that bring us sadness, once brought us joy. Cherish what was yours." -- author unknown

My dear Troy, sweet child o' mine... strangely enough, even after all these years, time seems to vanish, bridging the gap between then and now. We probably became very different people over the years but you will forever be etched in my heart just as I remember you -- a sweet, gentle man with a tender heart whose eyes inspired my spirit and smile warmed my soul. Still... you've always held a very special place in my heart, and you always will. Although time we spent together was far less than time we spent apart, it makes no difference to this grieving heart. I just wish I would have tried to contact you sooner than I did. I guess this Rocket Queen will have to reign alone until we meet again. Sweet memories are the paradise of the mind... I thank God for the ones you gave me. You'll always be a sweet child to me... Love, Sandy

"Because of You"
By Robin Y. Cote-Echols

The sun comes shining in, it's the dawn of a brand new day.
There's a spring in my step and it's you I think of as I smile my cares away.
Nothing seems to bother me, it's as if I'm on this incredible ride.
The sky is the limit baby and I can't hide how you make me feel inside.
The sound of your voice, the touch of your hand, the feel of your lips upon mine, oh how grand.
To share this lifetime with you would be my greatest pleasure.
To love one another so completely, I believe I've found my greatest treasure.
Nothing could be finer that the love I feel for you inside.
I want to scream it out to the rest of the world, it's something I can not hide.

I will always love you Cliff. Your spirit resonates in and through me. Rest my beloved and wait for me till we meet again on the other side.

Nobody saw it coming, Nobody understood, Nobody saw your pain, l don't think we could. Your world was make-believe with lies, You yelled wolf so many times, We didn't believe the lies. Nobody could. One afternoon you took your life in vain, Now you are gone forever because of a gun. How do l tell your son? What do l say to him? When he ask me why. What do l say? How did this tragic ending become a reality? How could l have seen this coming? Why didn't l? How will you be remember? Your laughter, Your jokes, Or your lies? No, We can only remember the sadness, the gun. How do we remember the good times, without remembering the end? Till we meet again, l hope you found the peace you were looking for.
I love you... Marie

To dad, you were a strong man - I miss you everyday. Your silent strength will live in me.
With love, your daughter,
Sabrina

I miss you my sweet sweet mother, You were my best friend in the whole world, and I know it was your time to pass to the other side. You were never afraid of dying, you went in your sleep as you always said that would be your wish. God needed a special angel so he came for you. A day will never go by that I won't think of you or miss you. I Love you my "BUG".
Your daughter, Debi

"When I Must Leave You"
Author unknown

When I must leave you for a little while
please do not grieve and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrow to you through the years.

But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
live on and do all things the same,

Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
but fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;

And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Kevin, I will love you and miss you for the rest of my life.
You were my rock; part of my foundation.
Your sister,
Carolyn

A Tribute to My Dad

He never wanted to grow old and helpless,
Or depend on others to take care of him.
He was surprised that he had lived beyond the days of his youth,
And he had his share of regrets, but he kept them to himself.

He loved simple things, like hunting and football and car racing.
He enjoyed his garden and he was happiest when he had his cat in his lap and a dog in the yard.

He fought for what he believed in many times; he won some battles and lost others.
But he never said "I give up" and somehow, he found a way to achieve whatever goals he set for himself.

He was a man who cried unashamedly, whether the occasion was one of great joy or great sorrow.
His emotions overflowed into tears many times......
And, if he were sitting in your place today, he would grieve here for you
without embarrassment and never forget the times he had shared with you.

If he could be here today and tell you all goodbye,
He would say that what happened to him was no surprise;
He died doing what he loved, a job he did with pride.
He did what he had to do to save someone else and he would make the same choice again if given the chance.

I take comfort from that and I hope that you can, too.
I thank God for his life; I hope that I share some of the qualities he
possessed as a person--his independence, his perseverance, his ability to see
what he had to do and the willingness to do it without thought for himself.

He never wanted to grow old and helpless,
And God granted him that wish,
And I thank God for giving me that last chance to see him a few days ago,
driving beside me on the highway, in his bright blue truck, smiling and waving down at me, with love in his eyes.
That is the picture I will always treasure and remember. I hope you have one just as precious to keep in your heart.

I love you, Daddy.
Janet

Why is it that time seems to be all we ask when someone you Love so is soon to leave... I ask that question a lot now.
Our Dad & Grandpa
It feels like years since the last time I heard your voice or touched your hand. And it's only been months. Your Love for all of us was something that never did anything but grow stronger with every breath... You've been someone I could always count on... No matter what or where... You stood right by my side. And my children's side too. They too have a heavy heart and long for a touch of your hand or the funny things you would say. But we must go on and keep the faith that you will be at the gates WAITING & WATCHING so that we can be all be together again.
Dad, We Love You and miss you dearly.
Rodger & Teri
Grandpa, We Love You and miss you
Lorie, Matthew, Nickie, Heather & Kelsey

Millie, you are an inspiration to us all... you've been through so much without complaint, yet you never, ever let go of hope and all the possibilities the future holds. Thank you for coming into my life and showing me that I really haven't had it so bad afterall. Thank you for helping me get my career off the ground with PartyLite and for being such a loyal customer. And thanks for getting me hooked on Armour Homestyle caramel coated meatballs. : ) Chris and I will surely miss you and will certainly never forget you.

"Turn the Page"
Aaliyah
"What would I do if some strange moment
I open my eyes to find you gone
I can't imagine how I would survive it
I can't imagine how I would go on...
A special smile, A certain touch
I never had a love that I loved so much.
When I look back, you're everywhere
turn the page, you were there,
You came and answered my every prayer
turn the page, you were there..."

Jesse, your beautiful eyes and gentle touch will be my saving grace forever. Memories of you will fill my lifetime. I will wait patiently for our next lifetime together.
Love, your girls - MOM, Sara and Francean...
We miss you Angel Baby...

The Last Time
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for just one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would videotape each action and word
So I could play it back each day
If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you"
Instead of assuming you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day...
Well, I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can just let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything right.
There will always be another day
To say our "I love you's".
And certainly there's another chance
To say "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget....
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike.
And today may be the last chance you get
To hold your loved ones tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day.
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smie, a hug, or a kiss.
And you were to busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me,"
"Thank you," or "It's ok."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today

Steven loved his son Andrew more than anything in this world. We know Steve is watching over little Andrew from heaven.

We'll miss Steve's offbeat ways and stories, we'll miss Steve's smile and laugh, we'll miss Steve's arms around our neck telling us he loves us. We'll miss our beloved Steve.

Tiffany Nicole Roughton 5/2/88 - 3/22/00 Meningitus/Encephaltis

Little Angels
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
we mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few,
to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind must realize God loves children,
angels are hard to find.

We Love and Miss you Tiffany so very much!!
Mommy, Daddy, Jonathan, Dylan and Grandma

Gail W. Mitchell 12/23/50 - 2/23/00 Asthma Attack

I AM FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day to laugh,
to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
Be not burdened with times or sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life was full, I savored much,
good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me, He set me free.

Always loved and remembered by your friend, Dianna

"My Heart Will Go On"
by Celine Dion
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
and you're here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time
and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
one true time to hold on to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
and you're here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on.

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
and my heart will go on and on.

To my Dad... there was no greater man on the face of this earth. I will love you forever. Your Daughter, Sue

"Dear God,
I thank thee for the gift of life,
Strength to endure life's constant strife.
Thank thee for the gift of love,
Which comes through me from above.
For all who helped me along the way,
To hold fast to truth and never stray.
Forgive my faults and things undone,
To those I've hurt and left alone.
For all life's blessings to me and mine,
Protect and bless them for they are thine.
I leave them all in our good care,
With all my love and this my prayer."
Written by Frances

He was a very special and sincere friend that I'll never forget and he will be near when I need him. May we be rejoined, in our next lifetime, to continue where we left off. May both our health's be much better than what we experienced in this time. Thank you Ken, for all you have done for me and the beautiful experiences that we shared while you were here on the earth's plane! May you rest up for our next adventures and experiences, in our next lifetime together! My physical life will continue till the time I am to join you!

And I know eventually we'll be together

"Where You Are"
By Jessica Simpson
There are times
I swear I know you're here
I forget about my fears
Feelin you my dear

Watchin over me
My hope sees
What the future will bring
When you wrap your wings
And take me where you are
Where you and I will be together
Once again, we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be, where you are

And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased

Oh, how I see your star
Shinin down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just, be right there where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me (you'll be smilin back at me)

Only then will I be free
Then I will be free, so take me where you are

Now baby there are times when selfishly
I'm wishin that you were here with me
So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see
That every night when you are dreamin
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel in love
I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are
where you are

Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me (you'll be smilin back at me)

Only then will I be free
Then I will be free,

Baby I still believe
Oh I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are (where you are)
I still believe
Whoooooa, I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day

That you take me there
Where you are, oh where you are!
I still believe
I gotta believe
I still believe
I'll always be waiting here

That sweet day (that sweet day, yeah!)

I still believe......I still believe....

In loving memory of my precious Momma...
You are missed so very much!!! The most wonderful mother that a girl could ever want!!! I can't wait to see you again when I meet you through those pearly gates. It is so very hard for me to believe that you are already there walking the streets of gold. Your days of suffering are done. My love for you Momma will never die!!!! I Miss you!!!!!

In Treasured Thoughts of You
Lonely nights and lengthy days,
butterflies and morning haze,
singing birds and moonlight glow,
Thoughts of you which come and go..
Emptiness where you once walked,
Silence echoes where you talked,
The scent of you in air I breathe
Your touch upon the morning breeze
Anxious children, wanting dad
and the fun times they once had,
Shattered dreams that can't come true,
Live on in treasured thoughts of you.

I'll carry on and follow through,
with all the things which we would do,
And hold you in my heart each day,
even though you've gone away,
With each new hope I'll see you there
and feel your presence in the air
As time passes I'll be strong,
and hold you close as life goes on.
You're not here and I'm not there
but you still linger everywhere.
Everything you'd say or do,
Lives on in treasured thoughts of you.
(c)1999, M.J. Monroe

May today there be peace within you. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let his presence settle in your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing and dance and bask in the sun. It is there for each and everyone of you.

Dad we miss you more than you can imagine...
Love, Your family

Tribute to Mom
Her love was something we cannot explain.
It was made of deep devotion and sacrifice and pain.
It was endless and unselfish and enduring come what may,
For nothing could destroy it or take it away.
It was patient and forgiving
When all others forsaking.
Her love never failed or faltered
Though her heart may be breaking.
Her love believed beyond believing
When the world around condemned
And it glowed with all beauty
Of the rarest, brightest gems.
Her love believed beyond believing
It defied all explanations
And it still remains a secret
Like the mysteries of creation.
A many splendored miracles
This we understood
And another wonderous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

I love and miss you mom and will one day see you again. Thanks, so much for your loving guidance and for all the things that were done during your lifetime. I tried to make you happy and I know that I was successful. Sleep on mom and get your rest. We shall one day again meet on the other shore.
Love your son, Chuck

Dad, you were my savior, my hero and my best friend. You believed in me when no one else would. We all miss you more than you will ever understand. I pray that you and Andy are taking care of each other. You will always and forever be "The Wind Beneath My Wings" that catches me when I forget how to fly.
I love you always,
Chris

THE BATTLE
WHEN DEATH, IT'S MIGHTY GLORY STEALING,
CAME SOFTLY IN THE NIGHT,
IT TOOK FROM US OUR LOVED ONE,
THOUGH WE TRIED TO HOLD HER TIGHT.
THE BATTLE RAGED UNTIL THE DAWN,
AND ON INTO THE DAY,
WE WEPT AND PRAYED AND HELD ON TIGHT,
WE WANTED HER TO STAY,
BUT DEATH'S A POWERFUL FOE YOU SEE,
THOUGH WE FOUGHT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT,
THE ANGELS TOOK HER HOME TO HIM,
TO BE SHELTERED IN HIS LIGHT.
I KNOW NOW.....THAT SHE IS HAPPY
I SAW HER THAT SAME NIGHT,
WITH GUILDED, GOLDEN OPEN WINGS,
WITH THE ANGELS, SHE TOOK FLIGHT.
THOUGH TIME HAS PAST SINCE SHE'S BEEN GONE,
WITHIN OUR HEARTS SHE LIVES,
HER LOVE AND JOY AND LAUGHTER,
IS THE LEGACY SHE GIVES.
NOW I NO LONGER FEAR THE TIME,
WHEN THE ANGELS COME FOR ME,
FOR I KNOW THAT I WILL FIND HER THEN,
MY ANGEL MOTHER.....
I SHALL SEE.
WRITTEN BY CHARLOTTE ANSELMO

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM...

He Only Takes The Best

God saw she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around her and
whispered "Come to me."

With tear-filled eyes we watched her,
suffer and fade away,
although we loved her deeply
we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best.

I found this by Janel's bed right after she passed, it was written in her hand writing, where she got it we don't know. I read it at her Memorial as I felt she knew she was going to be leaving us. You see Janel had been in the hospital for two weeks and this was found at home.

Janel's passing was a shock to us as she was being released from the hospital that weekend, She had a seizure and lots of complications there was nothing they could do.

I love Janel with all that I know and miss her dearly. But I do know she is with our Father in Heaven and that is a comfort to me.

OUR ANGEL BOY

We miss your beautiful brown eyes, so full of life...
Your joyous laughter, so wonderful to hear...
Your beautiful boyish smile...
Your warm and heartfelt embraces...
Your loving kisses...
Your way of being a boy through and through.
You had a tremendous amount of love in your little heart,
So when you left us, it tore us apart.
You loved your legos, your micro machines,
Your action figures, your army stuff...
Truly a boy through and through.
You brought us so much happiness in your short time here,
Even in times of trouble and in times of pain,
Your smile just kept shining on.
No more pain for you now,
But lots of pain for us in losing you.
Now you are in heaven, and I hope to see you soon.
With all my love, for always,
Mommy

To my Grandmother;
I always dreaded the day that I would lose you. Somehow I hoped it would never come. I knew it would. Now I find myself lost, and lonely and wishing that I had more time with you. I have to remember I did have more time than most do, and for that I am grateful. I miss my best friend, my confidant, the one who always understood when no one else did. Your leaving had a great effect on me, nothing is the same, and it never will be. I know you're with me, but it's not the same. I miss the calls, the talks, the coffee chats, and I miss the person who still treated me like their baby even though I kept telling you I was a grown woman. What I would give to have you check on me now. For the past 2 1/2 years I feel as though something is missing... the hole you have left can never be replaced... I don't even try. I am grateful though, some never get to experience the relationship that we had. I'm one of the lucky ones... I got the very best of you, and that was all of you. I love you and I miss you more than words can say.
Your Granddaughter,
Vickie

"You Can Still Be Free"
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind won't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

Ricky Brantley 12/9/75 - 11/30/96 Car Accident

Dear God, you sent a child to me
to fill my life with joy,
you knew which was best for us
a precious baby boy.
Somehow I took for granted, Lord,
that there would be a lifetime
I had made so many plans
for that precious son of mine.
Enchanted by the miracle you gave
to me that day
I guess I didn't hear you Lord,
When you said "This child can't stay."
I trust you Lord, Thy will, not mine,
yet I can't understand,
this sudden loss, this emptiness,
caused by another's hand.
I know my child's an Angel now,
but my heart is aching so,
I'm sorry, I wasn't ready Lord,
to let my Ricky go.
There wasn't time for one last hug,
there was no final kiss,
Oh God it's those little smiles,
that I so truly miss.
So Lord, could you do just one
thing, especially for me?
Please hold my angel close to you
and say good bye for me.

We love you so much and miss you more than any words could ever say.

MY SON

ON THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU
I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD DIE
I WONDERED WHERE THE TIME WENT?
I ASKED ALOT OF WHY'S?
WITH PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME,
I FELT ALONE INSIDE
FROM ALL THEIR WORDS OF COMFORT,
I COULDN'T SEEM TO HIDE
I THOUGHT I MUST BE DREAMING
THAT I'D WAKE AND FIND YOU HERE
I THOUGHT "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING"
AS I WIPED ANOTHER TEAR
ON THE DAY THAT YOU WERE LAID TO REST
MY HEART BROKE YET AGAIN
I WONDERED IF THE PAIN WOULD END
BUT MOSTLY WONDERED WHEN?
AT TIMES THE DAYS SEEM LONG
SOMETIMES I JUST SIT CRYING
WHEN THERE'S REALLY NOTHING WRONG
I WISH WE'D HAD MORE TIME
BEFORE YOUR LIFE WAS DONE
