I am loving you today.....thinking of you....missing you as I do every day.
I am rememembering you...that michevious grin...that joyous laugh...and the magical way that you always made me feel hopeful regardless of the sorrow I may have wrestled with.

Gorgeous brother,
Saturday will be a whole year since you left. The pain is as fresh as the day it happened. . . .and yet it feels like an eternity since I've held you....seen you. . .heard your voice. I miss you so terribly. I wake up every morning wishing that this last year will have been a cruel nightmare. My heart hurts without you Har. I don't know how I will ever feel happiness again. There are so many things I desperately need your advice about. The love and words you offered me always made me feel safe.I hope that you know what a light in my life you were and still are. I feel you with me all the time Harlan. I pray that you continue watching over all of us. We need you so much. Mom and Dad suffer immensely without you Har. We all do. I think of you in times of sunshine. . .in times of storm....you always were my shelter. I love you Harlan ---more than I could ever begin to say.

Counting the days until I am with you again,
Sissy

My Har...I am missing you so badly. It's as if time has stood still...I cant fathom the days without you....Can't stand it. I need you so much just as I always did. I listen to our music...still automatically go to the men's section of the store and find things that I want to buy you. Nothing is the same. Wish I could just hear your voice...hug you again. I LOVE YOU so very much my beautiful brother. NOTHING will ever separate us. Each day that I live, it is your strength and constant, unconditional love that moves me through the moments. You are and always were my heart. Counting the days until I see you again my angel.

Thinking of you today as always. I love you Cuz. (that's what you would call me). I'm sitting on the patio listening to music knowing you'd be doing the same right Now. The disbelief is still lingering but it's only because you are such a wonderful person that your presence was always known and felt. When you were around you made it a point to make us all feel loved, valued, and appreciated. You are too baby cousin. Miss you. See you one day. :)

May 24, 2010

Loving you and missing you today as I do every single day.

All of my love forever,

"I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."

Just thinking of you my precious brother. . .remembering how you would belt this song out along with the radio as we all sat at the patio table playing poker. . .you, me, G, Jaime and Brad. You always loved music so much. Wish I could have you back. Wish we could BBQ, eat, drink, sing and laugh together again. All of my memories with you sustain me until we are together again.

Where you are- so is my heart.
Sissy

Little Brother,

Missing you,

April 21, 2010

My precious baby brother. . . these months have been torturous. . .an ominous cloud. . .a paralyzing nightmare. I feel hollow. . .lost without you.
You took my heart and soul when you left. Do you know that? Do you know the sorrow I feel without the beauty of your face, the sound of your voice, the strength of your hugs? I can't accept this. I won't. . .Because if I do. . .then it will mean whatever life I have left will be without you. And I am not capable of it.I am suffering little brother.This time that is passing is only making it worse. I need you. I can't do it without you.
I travel everyday in this suffocating fog that is our reality. We all miss you so terribly. You promised me Harlan that you would never leave me. You promised. What am I supposed to do now? I miss you. I love you more than words could ever define. You are still my soldier. . . my strength. . .my friend. . .my world. . . And I will always be your loving, loyal big sissy.
Death has no victory over that.
I will be loving you and thinking of you until we are together again.

Always,
Livi

Harlan, it took me so long to write on here as I do not want to accept that you are gone. I miss seeing you and hearing you talk so much. Its been three months since you left this worldy place, but feels like yesterday. I know you are in the comfort of your Savior and family. We love you so much and think of you every second of the day. It is so painful to not see you, but I feel your presence so strong. Our Father needed you for a special purpose, you were just too good to be here on Earth. Harlan, my cousin, show us all the way and until I see you again, you are in my heart every second of the day. With all my love, Your cousin, Allison

"I will lift up mine eyes onto the hills from whence shall my help come
My help cometh from the Lord,
Which made heaven and earth
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved
He that keepeth thee will not slumber
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep
The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy shade upon my right hand
The sun shall not spite thee by day, nor the moon by night
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil
He shall preserve thy soul
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming
From this time forth and forever more

The Lord is thy shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside distilled waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth on paths of righteousness for his name sake
Yea though I walk to the valley of the shadow death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointeth my head with oil, my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever

Oh God who art full of compassion
Thou who dwellest up high
Grant perfect rest beneath the shelter of thy divine presence
In the exalted places among the holy and pure
Who shine as the brightness of the firment
To all those who have gone to their eternal home
The piety of who's life forms the subject of our meditation today
We beseech thee oh Lord of compassion
Shelter them evermore under the cover of Thy wings
And let their souls be bound up with bond of life
May they repose in peace may they rest in peace and let us say Amen."
-------------------------------
My Harlan,
I love you forever.
I love you from the purest, deepest part of who I am.
NOTHING can separate us.
Not even death.
You are with me and I am with you every minute- every day.

Until I see you again,
Livi

Thinking of you today my sunshine.
Thinking of your beautiful face. . .your mischevious laugh. . .your comforting voice.
I wish we could sit together and listen to music again like we always did. . .dancing. You always knew every word to every song. I miss hearing you freestyle to all the music. . ..creating your own lyrics as you went along. I have ALWAYS been so proud of you Harlan. SO PROUD that you are my brother. I love you so much Har. There aren't enough words. Without you, there is only darkness.

Harlan, I am missing you so much. It hurts so bad knowing you are gone. I am going to miss riding to the farm together listeing to all of our old songs from when we were in school...hanging out by the fire and telling stories...waking up before day light to go out to the deer stand...watching you walk down that hill to the lake with your fishing pole and a smirk on your face. None of this will ever be the same without you here. I love you so much Harlan you mean the world to me.

Your brother, Sky

Livia Carran

December 28, 2009

Nothing is right without you.
Christmas was lacking the sound of your laugh. . .sitting outside listening to you tell stories. It was lacking the warmth of your hugs. . .and the way that your arms always felt like the safest place to be. There are no words that could define how desperately I miss the sound of your voice. . .the way you would say "Love you Livi." This is torture. . .the world without you.Nothing makes sense in your absence little brother. Nothing matters.
Thinking of you every second,
Sissy

Cameron asked me (MIMI) right before we went to sleep where was Harlan. (He has overheard many conversations I presumed.) I told him that he is in heaven watching and acting as an angel and messenger to God. He turned over on his pillow and cried a little and then went to sleep. We recently had a dog die in front of Cameron. He really loved that dog and we planted a tree on his grave on our farm in Crosby. Cameron wanted to do the same for Harlan. So, now there is another tree planted for Cameron's other friend, Harlan. Cameron and PAPA Stephen rode out yesterday on the four wheeler in their mud boots and planted the tree by the pond.

December 26, 2009

Merry Christmas, I love you!!!!! Please help us to heal, remind us that you are not gone but just in front of us in line and we will see you soon.You are our leader for the family now,watch over us and and put in a good word for me(i will need it) love you.

I want to add one more note. As a school teacher, I remember all to well the intellectual conversations that I had or heard you have with other people. I was always amazed, curious and in awe about the knowledge and discussions that you, Nathan and I and others like Otto and Daryl had. I know Nathan and the other guys read and watch a variety of news, non-fiction, (non-fluff) and history shows. I asked how come you knew so much and was told the History Channel was your favorite television station to watch. Not too many people your age keep up with those informational cable news channels. But you knew and were tremendously knowledgeable about a variety of issues.

You were a guardian to so many people while on earth and were always available to help - young and old - it didn't matter. Now you can have your eyes and be a guardian to your loved ones and friends all at once in heaven. Along with your faith and love in God, he has given you all the special job qualifications for what I know is your current job position. I'm comforted and feel that your current guardian job started, and you were put into action, as soon as you reached the pearly gates.

My Harlan. . .my light. . .my heart. . .my unquestionable support. . my guide. . .my steadfast hero. . .my baby brother. You are everything to me.I love you to depths that can't be spoken or even fathomed. You made me who I am. I became the woman, the mother, the friend, the Christian I am because of you. I have gone through this life feeling safe because I understood that you were in my life. My heart could never hold the love and pride I feel for you. Each time you have ever entered a room, I've felt so proud. . .because you are mine. MY BROTHER. You are so beautiful, but your soul is even more so. You were never of this world my angel. You were never of this place. And I understand now more than ever how much our God must love me that He would have given you to me. . . that He would have found me worthy enough to share the treasure of you with me.Thank you my sweet, precious angel for entering my life and loving me as fiercely and unconditionally as you did. You have my heart with you. I ache to hear your voice. I ache to see your smile. . .I ache for just one more chance to wrap my arms around you and tell you how much I love you. I will live each and every day I have left anticipating the moment I see your face again.

My love-my heart for eternity,

I still need you. I love you Cuz. Forever, Jaime

I had the pleasure of knowing and being great friends with Harlan Carr throughout many years. We practically grew up together. He was one of a kind. He was such a beautiful person inside and out, and he was always there for you when you needed a friend. His loving, caring, free spirited and generous nature was loved tremendously by all. Harlan was the definition of a true friend.. Harlan is spreading his wings and watching over all of us now. He will be in my thoughts everyday. I could never forget such a wonderful friend and person. I will always cherish the wonderful memories I had with him.. My deepest sympathies go out to Harlans family. Please know Harlan would want you all to be strong and know he is always going to be with you in your hearts everyday. You will always have the memories.. nobody can ever take that away. Goodbye to the one and only Harlan Cain Carr. May you rest in peace.

I can still picture your car outside my house, you walking up my driveway, your laugh... everything. I have great memories of you and will never forget any of them. Thank you for being such a great influence on Casey boy's life. I'm sure he will always remember you taking him fishing!
Harlan was a wonderful friend... very generous and loyal. I love you, Harlan and my prayers go out to everyone who was lucky enough to know Mr. Harlan Cain Carr.

I think that having him in your life the short time God lets us have our children is so very precious and it is so very important because it makes us who we are as their parents and we are so thankful for each child who blessed us with the imprint they leave us

It's still hard to believe you're gone. I remember the first day of 3rd grade at Adam Elementary when we sat at the same table and we started our friendship then later that same year going to Celebration Station for your birthday. You were just here at my apartment on Wednesday, a few feet from where I'm sitting now.

I'll never forget you. Definitely one of a kind, a true friend in every way. It's times like this that can make life so difficult but the only reason it is so challenging sometimes and hurts so bad is because of all of the good we have at other times. Your death is all I can think about now, but it won't be what I remember you by. It will be the memories of us as kids, growing up together, becoming men together.

I love you Harlan and I know someday I'll see you and Justin again.

Goodbye for now.

Although lately I had lost touch with Harlan everytime I was around him he always had a smile on his face. Harlan was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back.. He is in a better place and will never be forgotten. My prayers are with your family, you will always be missed!
Love Always

My deepest sympathies to the Carr family. I knew Harlan for many years through my children Jessica, Janelle & Nathan Gauthier and he will truly be missed. His spirit was always strong and positive and I enjoyed his visits. He always had something nice to say to me and he loved going fishing with Nate. Farewell to a kindhearted friend.

The statement "Harlan was everyone's soft place to fall and their warrior when he needed to be" is absolutely true. I was thinking just that thought when it came to mind that in life you bump into people who make a dent on your life because of the impression they leave on you. That quote is one impression. Another impression is how polite he always was to me and my husband. It was always sir or ma'am. Unfortunately and sadly, we are meant to lose friends and the people we love and care about, like Harlan, because it helps us to know how important that dent people like Harlan make in our lives. Me, like all of Harlan's acquaintances, friends, and family all have our special dent to remember about him. My last special dent to remember was the Chucky Cheese outing he took with a few friends and the two children with whom he came to enjoy an afternoon of play.
