As I sit back and think of all the fun times…I know if I was to call you up now, you would be so happy to hear from me…but all I can do now is drive over to the cemetery and talk with you. I miss you so much, and wish you could be here to share in the celebration with us!

Our Father kept a garden, a garden of the heart; He planted all the good things, which gave our lives a start. He turned us to the sunshine, and encouraged us to dream: Fostering and nurturing, the seeds of self-esteem. And when the winds and rain came, He protected us enough; but not too much because he knew, we would stand up strong and tough. His constant good example, always taught us right from wrong; Markers for our pathway, which will last a lifetime long. We are our Fathers garden, we are his legacy. Thank you Dad and we love you from your daughters Santana, Keisha & Sankeysha!

Im coming to you daddy with a heavy heart today...I've been battling alot lately with you not being here. I'm quite sure you know what I'm talking, about. All I'm asking is for you to continue to watch over me, and be by my side as I continue to stand strong, and walk with my head held high. I always have said that God do things for a reason, but I was not ready to let your hand go...I miss you so much daddy...Lord knows I do, I need you now daddy... Yes Marcus tries to feel your shoes, and be there the best that he can but can't nobody be YOU. I just ask that you continue to Pray for me, because I do know you are one Praying man. I would do anything for you to annoint my hand again with oil=) and Pray over me. I love you daddy and I miss you so much.

Love Your Oldest Daughter Santana

Oink this weekend we will be at Diamond lake park for the 4th of July it's going to be hard not seeing you there. It want be the same without you there. just seeing your smiling face was a joy. I miss you and I will miss you and my brothers and father until the day I die. You will always have a special place in my heart. what gives me comfort is knowing that you had dedicated your life to God I know you are sitting on his throne with him. Oink you were such an inspritation to me and the rest of the family.You made all of us want to change and be better peoples and explore the spritual side of life. Lord knows we did not want to see you go.But even worse I could not bear the thought of you suffering and in so much pain. I watched Short suffer before he died I prayed and asked God not to let me see another family suffer the way short did. Not knowing that you would fall Ill to the same terrible disease. I regret that I wasn't there more for you I really thought that you would beat it. I just did not think that you would leave us I had prayed so hard for your recovery. Then one day when I was getting ready to send you a getwell card something came over me and I started crying and could not stop. I guess God was letting me know then but i refused to see the sign. I want to model my life after you for the rest of my life I will be careful what I say there is power of life and death in the tongue. I've learned that the tongue can be used to accomplish great things or much evil and every Idle word that we speak we shall give in account of in the judgement day for by our words we shall be justified and by our words we shall be condemned. so for the rest of my life I will live by your example. I know you love us all unconditionally and I thank you for that. If only I knew old death was that close I would have been there on all my days off sitting and talking with you. If it hurts me this much I can only imagine how Guy, Doris, Tomika, Tracy, and the girls feel you never get over losing someone so dear to you. we will always have bad days. but we must keep the faith and let go of the past mistakes that we have made and go forward with love and peace I pray that within time the hurt will go away and god heals us all.
Love Ya,
aunt:

Good morning my dear son thanks for your dream visits you know how very much i miss you here but we are together in spirit the word tells me that because Christ has conquered death and has the keys to death we no longer need to fear death when you were sick and afraid i cried tears i didnt want you to see but whenever you were afraid you trusted in him And the Lord formed man of the dustof the ground,and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became aliving SOUl [Genesis 2:7 JKV ] A LIVING SOUL MEANS WE SHALL BE SOMEWHERE FOREVER so Oink i am sending up my timber until we meet again i could not be a part of your home going but GOD knows how much i love you see you soon

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

My Father, My Guiding Light
Dad, you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I had you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respected you, I admired you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.

Sign Your daughters
Santana, Keisha & Sankeysha

Happy Birthday, Daddy! I miss you so much and I wish it was a way for me to call up to heaven to talk to you…Not a day that goes by I don’t think about you or share a tear. We miss you so much but, by the Grace of God I know we will see each other again! Love, Your Baby girl!

Happy Anniversary, Dad!

Fifteen months have passed
I’ll never forget the day
When mom called me
To say something was wrong

The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound

Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can’t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep

I’ve shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won’t give in

You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you

I was your first born
Daddy’s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world

I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect

I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar

I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again

I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend

We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you

Forever in my heart,
Love your oldest babygirl,
Santana Geter-Barry

Good Morning, Daddy!

I decided to come by once again and share my feelings with you. I enjoyed the time we spent together on yesterday... I sat their talking to you as you were their. I miss you so much and I'll always love you...I want you to know at least one thing...You were our father, a great inspiration to your family and when you left us you left a big hole in our hearts.

~The Broken Chain~

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone,
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories.
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.

To My Precious Dad,

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

Santana Geter-Barry

January 4, 2010

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Happy Fathers Day in Heaven little did we know when you were born how fitting your name would be.You are rainbows and flowers sunny days and warm breezes,laughter and love.Your life was about giving,giving unselfishly of yourself.Other people coming first a hug,a kiss when they were needed and even when they weren't you were my friend as well as my little boy.You loved me unquestionably as i do you never doubting never needing assurance but knowing and and secure in the person you were.You were wise far beyond your 40 short years wise in knowing the needs of those around you wise in the ways of the heart some people never obtain that in a lifetime.I hope you knew how many lives you touched in a short time. The people whose lives you brightened and whose hearts you captured we are all so much better for knowing you. you left a wonderful legacy of love and giving because of this,you will always be with us. not just in our hearts and memories but also in the way we live. a greater teacher we could never have had.Although we miss you and our hearts break with the fact that you are gone we will go on until God sends us where you are for you having taught us how to wait on the Lord LOVE,MOM

To dearest son Walter,

I know you are gone, in body but i know your spirit and love are in this room and can hear these words. Many things have happened in the past three years that will never be forgotten, nor should they be. I still find it very difficult to put into words my innermost feelings about you and the traumatic yet very spiritual experience we all went through this winter. It is an experience that will remain with me all the days of my life. you never said why me you have done nothing in your life but make me and your father proud. you are our first and only son and have given me enough joy to last until i join you once again. we discussed so many things in that little hospital room and we learned so much about one another. Letting you go was the most painful experience of my life. But you gave your father and me the faith to let you go and let God take over. You left us with great strength to survive but it is still hard to stay until God is ready. I wish icould have changed places with you- anything but this. How can i handle the days and nights ahead? The pain and suffering are going for you now. i know you are in a place where there is no such thing i am so sorry you i was not with you when you went home maybe parents when they have children should take vows similar to the ones they take when they marry to love and cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part.
I LOVE YOU,
MOM

Big cousin,
I truly regret that we were not as close as we should have been. However, when I found out that you had given your life to the Lord, for some strange reason I felt closer to you then than any other time. I remember the time we talked when Victor got married, the time when you and Tracy came down to Jacksonville for her family reunion, and the time I stopped by your house before I headed back to Jacksonville. We talked about God, life, family, and his changing power over our lives. I must admit that I have alot of regrets though. I regret not calling you and Tracy more, I regret not talking to you in the hospital, and I regret not spending more time with you. Your life has once again made me realize that as I say goodbye to regret that I have to savour every moment to tell someone I love them. I have to keep my mind open to the Holy Spirit to capture the opportunity to bless someone. What a life you lived and what a legacy you left behind. My cousin and my brother, until I see you again. I Love You.

Sincerely,

Jermaine

I was just talking about you a few weeks ago about how you use to talk about your dad so much and how good he worked on cars and how he always use to tell jokes or say funny things to make people laugh and I know that will always be something you will remember about your dad. Just continue to be strong and keep your head up and I will see you at graduation.

Brother,Brother,Brother no one knew you better than I,we were a pair growing up the many things we would do and get into that Guy (our mom) later find out about and some things she never did. You were a great brother growing up that thought that he was Tomika's dad (smile) you became a great man. You lived your life to the fullest! You loved your Church, your Mother, Father ,Me and Tomika, Lelia,(Ruby Joe) as you call mama ruby, your uncles aunts & cousins. You then found love as a man in Tracey and all your Kids. You showed what type of man you were as a adult. No one could be more proud of you than me your (Big Sis) or Mrs Elwood as you would call me. The pain in my heart is so great that every day is a struggle to get out of bed an just get by, it seems this is all a dream! I only take comfort in knowing that you're in no more pain. Who would have known that on that Monday when I talked to you and I rubbed your face and hair and told you that I loved you an you told me you loved me,would have been the last time! Who would have known that when Tracey and I put you to bed and you placed your arm around my neck that it would be the last time we spoke. Brother take comfort in knowing that Guy,Leonard, Tomika & Bill,Mariel,Nisha and Lenwood Jr. loved you dearly I love you and hope that I can leave only half the the Legacy you left. With all my heart I love you and will miss you and you can never be replaced. You left many loving friends and family that will carry on the Joy in knowing you. You could make anyone smile with that winning (Geter) smile that everyone loved. Take care in knowing Tracey & the girls will be fine with the love that you showed and taught them. I will always love and miss you, your big Sis (Doris)

Tracy & the girls,
It is still hard to believe that Oink is gone. He has been on my mind alot this week, and the boys have been talking about him alot lately. I going to miss him teasing me calling me Roemell and telling me give me some of those big bucks. You all know that we are here for anything that you need. I will always be there if you need an ear, I'm just a phone call away. May God continue to strengthen you and be with you. He was a joy to be around, and is going to be missed.

We love all of you

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy for the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God's love strengthen you and comfort you all. Oink was loved by many people who were always drawn to him by his personality and the love he demonstrated for others.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

Walter "Oink" was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Everyone can agree that a time had come in Walters life when he wanted to have peace and honor with God. Even though Walter is not physically here with us, the vision is there of him looking down upon his entire family, hoping that each of us that loved him so, will have that same peace and honor for God, that his memories will be cherished forever in our hearts and that we will grow and share those memories as one family.

May God continue to strengthen and bless each of us as we celebrate the life our loved one..Mr. Walter L. Geter, Jr.

Rodney & Tonya Geter

Traci and Family,
There are no words that fill the emptiness in your hearts at this moment, but it will help to know that God really cares for you and we do too. During this time of loss, we are praying you will continue to draw strength and comfort from your faith in God. In Hebrew 13:5 , God made us a promise to never leave us, nor forsake us. Continue to lean and depend on Jesus and God will see you thru. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal.
