My Dearest Son, Alan,
It has now been over a year since the Good Lord has taken you from us here on earth. It has been the hardest year of my entire life. Not being able to see you and give you a hug and a kiss on the cheek, it makes my heart bleed, it makes my tears flow, it hurt my entire life not being able to see you and talk to you.
There are no answers to my questions, all I can do is pray that God gives me the strength to go on in this life without you. Who ever...

My Dear Cousin,
It has been a year since you began your new life, and during these past months you have been missed so very much by those who love you. We celebrate your life, and we treasure your special qualities that we were fortunate to have known and appreciated here on earth.
Warm thoughts of you have become a part of our daily existence. When I finish cooking and put a pot in the sink "to soak" before washing it, I recall a time when you were still living at your...

My Dear Precious Son, Alan,
Today, May 29th is your birthday, we always celebrated your birthday with your sister, Gina, as she was born on May 25th, 3 years later.
It was not the same this year, you were not there, all we had were memories.
It is terribly sad for me and all of our family that you were not present. All we could do is pray and wish you were here with us. Alan, my son, we miss you sooooooo very much.
You have no idea how much. Life is not...

Mother's Day came and you were not here to spend it with us. The family gathered together over your brother's house, but there was an empty chair, it was your's my son.
How could we ever forget you. You were the sunshine in our lives, so smart and quick wits about you. It was so sad not to have you with us. You can not imagine the pain in my heart. I miss you every minute of the day, you never leave my mind. It is a great loss for us here on earth not...

MY DEAREST, PRECIOUS SON, ALAN
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY AND MEMORIES WERE A LANE,
I WOULD WALK A HUNDRED MILES TO BRING YOU HOME AGAIN.

YOU WERE GONE BEFORE WE KNEW IT AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY!
WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER,
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS ARMS, WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY,
YOUR LOVING MOM

My dear precious son, Alan,
Our Middle Child:
You were the second to be born,
How proud we were of you
You were the answer to our prayers,
A special dream come true.
And from that moment forward
You have made life so much fun
You have filled our lives with happiness
And kept us on the run
And for these special memories
we have thanked the Lord above
For giving us a middle child,
to hold, to raise, to love.
We have cherished every...

My dearest Son Alan,
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...
