To Eddie And Viola
This hasn't been an easy time for you, and as one who cares about you.
There have been so many moments when I've wished I could have somehow spared you some of the pain or at least cushioned the blows. But it seems that we each have our own roads to travel in life. For awhile, we're on a smooth, well-wore path, than suddenly the road swerve.
But do you know what? I've watched you with admiration as you face difficulty with strength and courage. And even in those times when you may wanted to give up, you somehow frond it in yourself to carry on...
And I just know you'll continue to do so. Even though this is your road to travel, Be sure to look alone the side from time to time.
The persons you'll see there, the ones cheering you on, will be all your friends and family who love and care about you. we love you guys
love your sis Virginia and family and all your friends
may god be with you

Dear Viola, Eddie and family:
I am truly devasted after hearing about your loss. Words cannot express my feelings of sadness and sorrow. I can't begin to imagine what this is like for you and your loved ones. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I first met Shane in 1993, as he was the son of my co-worker and dear friend, Viola. Even as a young child, Shane's presence was full of life, energy and love. I saw him grow up through the eyes of his loving mother and frequent visits to our place of employment.
Shane, you truly are a beautiful angel and will be missed and thought of dearly. Dear Angel, may you rest in peace.

To Viola
I can not find the words to say exactly how I feel, that truely describes the hurt inside, for I know your pain is so real.
Your heart, so heavy, with so much pain, for the empty loss inside, the tears fall down like falling rain that never seem to subside.
It's very hard to say "goodbye" to the one you love so much. But if you go to god in prayer you'll feel his sence of touch.
Think of your sorrows calmly, when daylight turns to night. Go tell it all to Jesus,for he will make it right.
He's always there to listen, when you grief to him. You'll
feel the burden lifted, and again your life, you'll live

To the Family of Shane Bailey,
I didn't know Shane or your family, but I was saddened to hear about his tragedy because I too have lost a loved one this past summer in a terrible tragedy. My little grandson Reuben Angelo Castillo was only 6 years old when he fell off a ferris wheel. So I know what your family is going through. No parent or grandparent should ever have to go through this. The pain of sorrow is so deep. My prayers are with your family, that God will give you the strength and comfort through this difficult time and for the many days and months ahead.

How do i begin....well im very sorry for your lose. Shane was a very great guy, he didnt deserve to go this way, he was too young to leave us so early in his life. I still remember hanging out in the trailer park on munford with him and all the guys being goofy!!! He was the only one that could stand up to me, unlike all the other guys. You will always remain in our hearts. You will be greatly and sadly missed!! WE LOVE YOU!! R.I.P!! We'll see you again in heaven when its time for us to go!!! XoXoX

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 family of Shane:
I would like to express my deepest condolescences to your family. I too have lost my son at the age of 6, Reuben Castillo this past summer, so I can understand how you are feeling when you lose a loved one to tragedy. Its going to be a hard road for you, but believe in God that he has a plan for everyone of us. God only takes the best and he needed another angel. Your family will be in my prayers. This prayer below, I read everyday and it helps me. I hope it will help your family as well.
The 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.
Amen.
