I was there again this weekend and I s-w-e-a-r I felt you with me. I love you,
Sha

Great joy & happiness comes from the feeling that the one and ones you love whether in mind,body,spirit and emotion always was and always will be.

Though we smile or frown at times through lifes hills and valleys, it seems a silent unity in some or outer expression in others, it all leads to the same result. In our daily life of priorities of rushing,russel and bussel of the day, remember to slow down take a deep breath as often as you can for when its season is complete, the one true thing you have to cherish is, its memory, your love and vision of emotion of the once was. Though it may appear as a cloud. Appreciate validate and bless the strength in your suns, flowers or foremost loved ones in your life.

My Dear Brother,
We argued, drank, laughed, lived apart but shared life together is a unique way no one understood. I cannot express the pain I have now that you are gone. It goes way deeper than to the bone or in the heart. You had helped me thru so many hard times, kicked me in the butt when needed, gave me praise when not expected. When we talked on the phone it would be like someone else coming to visit you in person. We did not have to see each other to realize the deep love and respect we had for each other. Please visit me in my dreams. I will see you soon my brother. Have a Jack on me, enjoy golf and catch some fish.. Say hi to Big Bird and all the gang. I will always love you.
Scott

To my dear loving friend Bill:
You & I have a very special relationship. You always stood in the backround when I was trying to fix something at the house to let me try to do it and then knew when to come over to bail me out.You loved me, my children, Joe & Steve, like your own. We have shared many wonderful fun times & bad times that we survived, that will remain in my heart forever. I will miss "Hey Babe, hows it going"
Don't worry about Ingrid, she's in good hands! Come visit me!!
Love always, Donna
