17 whole years of missing you. Our girl is days away from 18. Can you believe it?! Our granddaughter is both her and you made over. Strong, and beautiful genes. We miss you everyday. I know you're with them for each and every step. We find comfort in knowing your in Heaven and one day they'll get to have, and know you. Until then, stay close to them.

It's been 15 years today. 15 years of missing you. I know you watch over her, but I just wish you could be here with her. She's perfect. All of the very best parts of every experience she's had. She's such a wonderful mother. And that grandbaby of ours is rotten. She literally looks identical to her when she was a baby. I know you see them and I know you love them from heaven. We love you.

To just see what amazing things you would do. My life hasn't been the same since you left us. A huge part of me is missing. Life just isn't the same without you. I love you!

R.I.P In REMEMBERANCE of
Cpl Timothy Dale Lewis

light a candle rememberance of me
Watch it glow,
when you're feeling so low,
think of me,
I'll always be right here,
day and night,
a candle flickers,
Shinning bright
but in your hearts,
I still burn bright,
Don't think of sadness,
that I'm not near,
But think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I haven't left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my loved one
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
When your feeling so low
in your hearts you'll know
that I'd never leave you
even when your feeling so low
I'm sitting up in heaven with our Lord
and I'm now watching over you all.

May 31, 2015

Thinking of you and our time together alot today. I miss you so much. Although these are only words on a website, it helps. I constantly wonder on how different things might have been, or should have been...only to wake up and realize the reality. However, no matter how bad the hurt hits me at times, I remain thankful that you, by God's graces, left me with the greatest blessing imaginable. And my oh my, she is amazing....and beautiful, and smart, and kind....she's like you. Anyway, gonna go for now, love you.

October 15, 2013

If only you were here, things would be so different. I still can't understand the reasoning behind you being taken from us, honestly I don't think I'll ever understand. Every time I pray, and call out for an Angel, I think of you, and know in my heart that it's always you, we'll I'm really needing you right now, I'm hoping we can get through this, but without your help, and Gods guidance, I'm not so sure I can do it. I will stay strong although its unbelievably hard right now, because I know you're here, with both of us, comforting, and pointing out the right path. Love you forever.

Cpl. Lewis gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country. My son served with him in Okinawa. May the family find comfort knowing Cpl. Lewis answered the call to duty as a U.S. Marine. My son was tapped to go to Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) when Cpl. Lewis went to Jolo Island (Philippines) in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). God bless those he left behind.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Another Fallen Hero ~

My heart breaks as I sign this guestbook of such a courageous soldier who gave his life so selflessly. May he rest in peace knowing that he is loved and remembered by those who knew him, as well as strangers who admired his courage and sacrifice. God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and made the ultimate sacrifice.

We understand what you are experiencing and feeling. No amount of words can ease the pain of your loss. We know first hand there are no words of comfort at this time. We lost our only son 9-3-2004 at the age of 19 and it fells like yesterday. Just know that there are Marine families across the USA who is experiencing your loss and pain. You are not alone. We will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes.

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the entire family. May God grant you peace, strength and comfort in such a difficult time. I will keep your family in my prayers along with all the families of our American Hero’s.

Timothy, My family and I are thankful for the Bravery, Courage, Determination and Service, for your true dedication in protecting and serving our country (our freedom) from you, my son and all the others in our armed forces for the sacrifice made for us. You all will not be forgotten.

We also have a Marine daughter and Marine son-in-law. I still fly my Marine flag and have my Marine tag and sticker on my vehicles because I'm PROUD of my SON and all the MARINE MEN and WOMEN out there. I will always be a MARINE. We are proud of you all. “Land of the Free, Because of the Brave”

Thank you Legacy.com for setting up this website so families can quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves across this great nation.

It is with deep sadness that I am forced to honor the memory of another fallen Warrior. I ask the family and friends of Cpl.Timothy Lewis to accept the offer of my most sincere and heart felt condolences. I hope that you know that your loss is shared by a grateful America. Most of whom you have not met and in all probability will never meet. Our nation sincerely appreciates the sacrifices of your Marine patriot.

I know the pain parents feel when they loose a child. I lost my son Timothy 19 years ago. It is a pain that defies description. It is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that will never end. It is a pain that is all consuming. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless and keep you today, tomorrow and forever!

Some people have to ask if they made a difference in the world but;
Marines don’t have that problem.

“Paid in Full”
To Honor The Service of Fallen and Injured Marines


Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full

We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward

What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give it all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our hearts we will cherish your lives

Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the Few, the Proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us

They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of the lives that were lost for people unknown

Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

People like him - who serve - are why we are free to enjoy our God-given rights.

I am grateful for his service, and grateful to him and to you all for your sacrifice.

I pray for his soul, his family and friends, and his platoon, and their mission.

May God soon grant you the power to feel more Joy for the time you had together than sorrow at his passing. The death of a child is so traumatic that words cannot describe it.

God Bless each of you and God Bless Our Troops.
