It's me again son, just wanted to tell you that I had a surprise visit from a good friend of yours Debbie Holmes. I knew that she might be in the area again as she had come by and we missed her, anyway we had a really good visit and I enjoyed seeing her and her Mother in law. It's such a comfort to know that there is someone else in this world that cared enough about you to visit us, and she also made a couple of visits to your resting place. We still miss you terribly and all I can say is COME LORD JESUS COME

My Beloved Keith, its your birthday today and we surely wish you were here to spend it with the family. Oh how we miss you, to hear you laugh with us would be a joyous and happy thing to hear. I know the children and grandchildren truly miss you as much as we do. We put some beautiful flowers on your burial spot today, only wish we didn't have to, that we could have given them in person. You and Justin have been gone so long, the only thing that I have that carries me through, is the fact that I know I will see you both again, maybe soon. Until then have a ball with the rest of the family members we'll see you soon. Love you with all my heart MOM

Hello my dear son: my how I miss you, yes another year has passed since you went home, and it just doesn't get any easier to deal with that you are not with us. There is joy and sadness here with us, hope you know that we miss you and are very much looking forward to the big family reunion in the sky, and who knows we may be there sooner than later, it really looks as though the Lord's return can happen any day now, so until we meet again Love Mom

Hello Son,

It has been some time since I added to this book of memories, but you are in my thoughts each and every day. We make different memories each and every day, but isn't it strange that the memories we think are bad, one day as times passes, are looked back on as not being so bad after all? If we look close, it is as God planned it all along. God said his best work is done, through his grace, using the unlikliest of people, at the darkest hour in our lives. Since you left us there has been some dark hours in my life, but the Lord has always been the light to bring me out of the darkness. You are still in my prayers each morning and at night. I miss you very much. Until we meet again.

Dad

Hello Son. It is morning and I am at work, but my thoughts are with you. Your mother and I miss you very much. Throughout each day there are things that remind us of you and our thoughts and prayers keep you close in our heart. Your mother and I are 71 years old now, but the Lord has blessed us in many ways and we thank him each day for his many blessings. In my morning and evening prayers, I tell the Lord how much we miss you and love you and ask him to let you know. The family is doing well and I know you would be proud of them. Until we meet again...your Dad.

Dear Son: On this day 4 years ago your journey on this earth ended, but for those of us left here, a part of us died also when you left. I feel in my heart and spirit that you are in your heavenly home and there is comfort in knowing that but I still miss you so very much. We shall all be together again this I know for sure thru God's promises, until that day you are always in our thoughts, love for you has not died nor ever will.

Keith... I had a dream about you the other night, not sure of the meaning but do know that I woke up very content. I think of you so much, its still so hard to deal with the reality. So much has happened since I was on here last..some good, some bad. Still want to come visit and just sit with you hopefully one day. I miss you sooo much. Please continue to look down on us from Heavens door and know how very much we love you.

All my Love,
Debbie

Hello Son:It is very difficult and emotional for me to try and sit and type thoughts and words to you this way. Feelings and hurt about losing you still run very deep. There are so many ways that I wish you were still here and involved in all of our lives on a daily basis. I know you are in all our thoughts everyday in some way, but that still doesn't take the place of sharing conversation and special things with you as they happen. I get lost in my everyday world trying to not think about it and when I do, it's too emotional sometimes for me to handle it. Looking through lifes windshield is easy, living it is a lot harder. Everyone is doing well. The kids are growing and we all are proud of them. I know you would be too. I love you and miss you very much. Dad...

Hello Son: It's been such a long time since I took the time to tell you what is on my heart, these days it seems like there is a lot to do, and things that I just want to do, not taking the time to just say that I am thinking of you and how much my heart still hurts that I can no longer physically see you and talk to you. Spring is just around the corner, and we are looking forward to new growth everywhere, also the sunshine. Things are very depressing in the winter, but when the earth is resurected after being dead its a joyful time. The children are all doing well, and the great grands are growing too quickly. Sure wish you could see them all, boy would you be proud. Love you more than I can say, MOM

Hello my beloved son: Its been a while since I wrote in your memory book, it has been a busy summer and we have all been busy doing things that us earthly folks do, but that doesn't mean that we have gotten used to you being out of sight here with us. We all still miss you so very much, and at times its worse than others. We haven't seen Keith, Chasity or Dalton since May but we talk to them regularly and they are all doing well. Your grandchildren are a precious little group and are a delight to be around, oh how I wish that you could share just a day with them. Its quite here today, the kids have gone on a field trip, I sure hope they have a great day. The holidays are coming up and only God knows how our heart aches that you are not with us. The world has become such a place of persucution for believers, it looks as though the Bible is fulfilling quickly, and who knows the rapture may be just around the corner. We wait and are joyously expecting that day. Bye for now, We love you. MOM

Hello again Son: Another Father's day has come and gone, and we can never celebrate any of the recognition holidays without you being on our mind. We will always miss you no matter what day it is but those kind of days are the hardest. Your Dad had a good day, the children and grandchildren all made him very proud by acknowleding him as well as Judy wishing him a happy day, I think he truly enjoyed his day. Just thought I would let you know that you are still in our hearts each and every day and we love you. Mom

Voncile Cavender

May 11, 2009

Hello Son: Its your birthday so of course you are on my mind and very much in my heart. I was actually thinking back to the day you were born and the day is pretty vivid in my mind. Your aunt and uncle carried my to the hospital since your Dad was gone, and it did not take long for your to arrive, the sad thing was I was all alone just you and I. you were a beautiful healthy baby though, and I was headed for home soon after your arrival. I miss you so much, and hope this day you know you are still loved and are in our thoughts everyday. the children all came for Mother's day, and Judy came also, we had a really good time, it seemed like old times except of course that you were not here with us. It was the best gathering we have had in a long time. The grands are growing so fast it's hard to keep up with them. I would give my life if you could spend one day with Micah, that child is a huge blessing from our creator, he is such a joy to watch and see, it's just indescrible. They are real blessings each and every one of them, and we truly enjoy their visits. Got to go for now until the next time we hold you in our hearts forever Love Mom

Keith...Seems like I think a lot of you lately, I have missed you so much. Your birthday is coming up and I really wanted to go visit, but don't think I'll be able to make it so this is the next best thing I guess. I'm going to be a Grandma again in July(little girl this time)really excited about that. The girls are all doing good> Kasey graduates in a few weeks I'm really proud of her.I've run into Judy a couple of times, she's updated me on the kids and grandkids. You must be very proud of them. Please continue to smile down from heaven on all of us.
You will always be forever in my thoughts and heart.
Love, Debbie

Good Morning Loved One: Much time has passed since I last shared my heart with you, oh how I have missed you. I seem more than ever to have you on my mind now, the earthly realm is in such a mess that I have trouble understanding why anyone knowing the promises of our Lord and Saviour should fear death. Its hard living here and the vision I have that God promises us is a much prettier picture than this place, as beautiful as it sometimes is. Its spring here now and time for planting, its a busy time of the year. Wanted to tell you we visited the grandchildren and truly enjoyed the time spent not only with them but seeing the great grandchildren. I am so thankful they are all(four) healthy and are such beautiful and happy children. They have such good little families who love them lots and lots. We will be going back to visit again soon, we have some things to take them, and its just so great to be able to spend a little time with them anyway. Its raining here today and is sort of dreary, I know that where you are things are always light there is no darkness and you are surrounded by love so you probably don't even miss us, we love you and will miss you until we are together again. bye for now''''MOM

Hello Son, just wanted you to know how much we all miss you...each morning and evening I ask the lord to let you and Justin know how much we all miss you here on earth. I don't write very often in this memory book, but I have you on my mind and in my thoughts through out every day. There are so many things I do during the day that make me think of you and how I wish you were there helping me and talking to me as we go about our tasks. I know you would be proud of your family and how they are handling themselves and taking things in stride. It is rough on them in a lot of ways, but they are coping and working with lifes daily tasks. We are all proud of them. We all miss you very much each day...
LOVE DAD

Hey Son,just wanted to tell you how much we miss you, I hope some way you know that you were truly loved and cherished on this earth by a lot of people. I don't believe that we know how much we effect one another's life until something happens to change our circumstance, and then it really hits home to us how our lives intermingle with each others. Any way you are in my thoughts today and every day and just wanted to say hello. Much love from my heart to you. LOVE MOM

Good Morning Son! Today is a beautiful day that the Lord has made and all is well with us here. The anniversary of your death on this earth is looming ahead of us and I can't hardly believe its only been two years. It just seems like so long ago since I could touch you and hear your voice, I miss you so. You will be glad to know the twins have made their debut, and by God's grace all is well with them. It is so exciting to now have a little girl in the family, and the baby boy has been named JKC the third, how is that for news. The anticipation of seeing them in person is exciting, hopefully we will get to visit in a week or so, I can't wait. Rachael is having some difficulty, but with God's glorius grace and mercy she will be o.k. You know the major prophets of this world are declaring that the Bible prophiecies foretelling the second coming of our Lord and Saviour is extremely close to being fulfilled, and the one who loves us most is likely to come to gather us home any day now. There's going to be a meeting in the clouds, and I am anxious to be in the group, I definitely do not want to be left behind., Until I see you again, Here's loving you, and holding you in my heart always""""""MOM

Hello again my son: Its early morning, the weather is kind of nasty, we have had rain for a few days. The holidays are behind us now, we had a very enjoyable time during Thanksgiving and Christmas with the children coming to visit and staying a while. Dalton and Jessica came, it was the first time we saw Colton and of course he is just beautiful. He is a very good baby, not much crying, he is a wonderful gift from God. We really enjoyed Micah as well, he is such a playful child, and very smart, I really wish you could see them, or maybe you can who knows. The twins will be here in a few days, we are anxiously awaiting their arrival, its hard to believe we are actually going to have a little girl in the family. Chasity did not get to come during the holidays and we missed being with her, hopefully we will get to see her soon. She has had some health issues, nothing major but, she has been sick. Keith and Dalton helped your Dad while they were here, he has a garage he has been working on for some time now, there always seems to be something that he can find to work on out there. He really enjoyed having the boys help him out. I know he misses you a great deal, we all do, it just seems like you have been gone for so long now. I hope that you and the other family members that have passed to the other side are having a reunion like no other, one that is never going to end. One day I will get to hug and see you again, thats the thing that I never forget. I still miss Justin so much as well, and I am very much looking forward to the day when we will all be together again. Until another time we love you, bye for now. Love mom

It's me again son, I've been thinking of you a lot every day, but I haven't had the time to sit down and put what is on my heart in your book, now I have a few minutes to talk to you, an its like Keith said too bad you can't talk back. It seems like its been such a long time since I talked to you last, I wish I could see u and talk to u now. Christmas is not the same without you here with us, it's just not the joyous ocassion that it used to be. You have a new grandson, we haven't seen him yet but I know he's beautiful. From the pictures he looks like Dalton, and as far as we know he's healthy, and doesn't cry a lot. I sure hope that somehow you know what's going on here with the family, if you do I know you are a proud dad. We love you and miss you so much. The twins will be here before too long, and I wonder how Micah is going to react to the new ones. He is such a good child he'll probably help take care of them, and be delighted to have them as playmates. I am looking forward to the family being together at Christmas, we will keep you in our hearts, I'll go now with all my love, MOM

Hello My Son: Well fall is definitely here, the weather is much cooler and all the leaves are turning loose and falling. Soon we will be shut up in the house for winter and longing for summer to get here. This is the time of year that we miss you the most I think, because of the holidays when families are together to celebrate and spend time together just enjoying being a family, sharing the joys of special things about each other that God gave us as gifts, and just loving being a part of one another's lives. It isn't getting any easier to accept the fact that you are gone from our lives forever, we are coping because we do not have a choice, but if I had my ruthers, I'de certainly ruther that you were still here with us. You are in our hearts and minds each day as we go about doing the things in life that has to be done daily, but know that we love you and know that we will see you one day. bye for now: Love mom

Keith, Hi! Well I have been through some trying times in the past 7 months, but I am still strong. Your grandbaby is precious. I go over and play with him. The other 2 will be here shortly. Lil Keith is doing well. I have learned alot lately.*** Life is not easy for any of us. But it is a continual challenge, and it is up to us to be cheerful and to be strong, so that those who depend on us may draw strength from our example. Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. Love ya Jennifer

Hello,
It is me babe. It has been over a year now,seems more like forever since I have seen your smiling beautiful face.I have missed you alot.I think of you and all the good times we had with our family. Your mom and dad are the best in-laws anyone could ever pray for. I have been very blessed to be apart of such a good family. I bet you are very happy now.I hope that you can see all the blessings that you and myself have helped carry on. Sorry I haven't written before now;but it has been hard to start over. I still can hear your laugh and see you and sometimes I think that I feel you with me. I know that we had some bad times. But they do not compare to the wonderful life that we shared together. I still Love you.
Always in my heart

Hello Son: We got some wonderful news this week, Keith and Rachael are going to have a boy and a girl. It's been so long since we had a girl in the family we are all excited. We pray that all the babies will be healthy, thats the main thing of course, we are looking forward to the three new additions. We still miss you and I really don't know too much about whether you know what's going on here on earth, but deep down I hope you know that you have grandchildren, and how much we love and miss you. Fall is here and Thanksgiving will be here soon and hopefully we'll all have our Thanksgiving gathering and share some good times together. Got to go now, until another day I love you. Mom

September 3, 2008

Hello Son: You are on my mind so much lately, I think of you everyday and yesterday I could picture you walking around with Jesus and you had a huge smile on your face. I believe that you are happy and at more peace than you ever knew on this earth. I think a lot about heaven and all the loved ones that we have there, and more and more I have such a peace about death that I am not afraid to die at all. As a matter of fact I believe that the glorified body that we are going to have when we reach heaven is something to look forward to. We miss you and love you, got to go for now, talk to you again soon. Mom

August 6, 2008

Hello Son: I was thinking of you which I seem to do often, and I miss you so much. With the summer being here and not being able to do things with you and the grands it just doesn't seem right. I can picture you in my mind, and just see you laughing that deep laugh that you have, and I hope you are laughing in heaven and that you are the happiest that you have ever been. Boy do we have news for you!!!!! Keith and Rachael are having twins and it scares me a little but they seem to be taking it very well, maybe they have adjusted to it and it is no longer a shock to them anymore. I am very proud of the children and I believe that you would be also. I know they miss you an awful lot and it must be hard for them but they are doing good and growing more mature every day. I love you and each day that passes I think of you, bye for now. Mom

June 16, 2008

Hello Son: I found out yesterday that you are going to be a grandpa again. It seems that all of a sudden that the babies are coming quickly, and they are such a joy to be around but along with the joy comes the huge responsibility of having a big committment for a very long time. I look forward to the arrival of the two new ones into the world and into our world, of course the only bad part being that you are not here to enjoy the event with us. I hope that somehow you at least know a little of what is happening with us that is left behind. I can't help comparing Dalton's approaching fatherhood with your's and Judy's when Chasity was born, he will be about the same age as you were when she was born. Hopefully between the two new ones on the way we will get a girl in the family, we have a lot of boys, it would be nice to have a girl. We all still miss you so much, sometimes it's really hard not to ask the Lord why you had to go even though I know you are in a much better place than we are. Love Mom

Bonnie Cavender

June 7, 2008

Hello Son: I was thinking about you and how much we truly missed you and I just wanted to put a few things down in your memory book while I had it on my mind. You would be so proud of your grandson and your children as well. They are all growing into such fine hard working and lovable adults that I am filled with sadness when I think about how you have missed a special part in their life. Micah is a wonderful happy child and Rachal and Keith are really good parents, its amusing to watch them with him. He is a handsome big fellow too. Dalton and Jessica are going to be parents also, and I am sure that they are going to be wonderful and responsible parents also. We still miss you more than I can say. Now that I am retired, I have some time to think of all the things we could have done now that my work-life has pretty much come to an end. The children and us spent your birthday together, and it fell on Mothers Day this year, needless to say it was a little difficult. but having the grandchildren and the great grandchild here was a comfort to us. I very much look forward to the day when we see you and Justin again. Got to go now, until the next time. Love Mom

February 10, 2008

Thank you Lord for memories. You have been gone a year now, and although you are not here physically, I see you all around us. Losing you was the hardest thing I've had to accept in this life, but I'm so glad I can say "I know that you knew that you were loved.YES we loved you, and we shared many things together that will always be in our memories. I look at the gazebo that you put up, and I think of the time we spent sitting there just talking about life. The fishing trips we all shared, the summers we spent on the boat just enjoying the summers together as a family were great. Looking back, I wish I had told you how much I was looking forward to you moving back home, and made you feel that it was not going to be a hardship for us. I think its hard for us humans to express our feelings until its too late and the opportunity is lost forever. I try not to dwell on the why you were taken, God's ways are not our ways and I believe others will be brought into the fold because of you. I am at peace knowing that Justin and you are awaiting our arrival and you're in the arms of Jesus and thats the best place to be. I do wish you could have seen your Grandson before you left us, he is a treasure and a gift from God. You would have been a very proud Grandad. I also thank God for letting you be a part of our family, I would have loved for it to have been as long as I lived, I am very proud to have been called MAMA by you. LOVE FOREVER 'MAMA'

Jim Cavender

December 22, 2007

It will be our first Christmas without you here with us here on earth. It will be met with some saddness, but we will be comforted with the warm memories of you and of the love we shared. The Lord will take us all in his own time and own way and fold us his arms as one to be together again. The pain is still great now, but the wait to see you again will be worth it. Please know that you are thought about with love and are in our prayers everyday. I ask God to tell you that everyday when I pray.
Until we meet again in the hereafter, please walk with us each day and share our hardships and our joys. You will always be a part of us.

To the Cavender Children,
I am not quite sure what to say to your loss because there are no words that will make it better or take away your pain. I can not say that I know what you are going through, because I do not. I do wish all of you peace and comfort through your time of greaving. My heart goes out to each of you, and I will keep you in my prayers for God to lighten your burden.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Kid's don't be sad. I miss you so much too..It is beautiful here but I worry about you alot...
I sleep with Jesus watching me.Theres onlylove up here, I am not lonely or afraid becauseChrist ourGodis near.
I walk with Jesus everyday. I'm light upon my feet-but don't worry Judyhe holds my hand as we cross the golden streets.
I never cry or hurt myself. I see Grandpa everyday. I play and sing a lot and I hear you when you pray.

Everyday i catch myself searching looking for some kind of answer about why someone so very wonderful could be gone, but thats when this little voice of an angel lets me know that another great angel was needed to look over our family GOD knows we truly do need him to lead us in the right direction and guide us to make sure we're safe! I just can't help my selfishness of wanting him here with us.

Chassity and Family

I did not know Keith that long but he was a great guy and loved each of you very much. Always remember the good times you had before that day he left for South Carolina to work. Keep him and his smile in your heart and know that he is an angel looking after you, your brothers and all your family. You will always be his little girl.
You and your family are in my thoughts. I love ya girl and if there is anything I can do for you, please call me.

P.S. Your dad, "Big Keith" is now a "FREE BIRD"!

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.

To The Cavender Family,

Oh, how sad I was to hear about Keith's death. Keith & I went to school together for years. I always loved Keith. We had some good times through those school years. I lost contact with Keith since you'll moved away, but often think of my old school buddies. I will keep all of you in my thoughts & prayers.
