Aunt Maureen, you will be missed so much. You had such a special relationship w/ Justin & Jerel that I know they will treasure always. You'd cry w/ joy every time you spoke to them on the phone & they'd have this lil smirk because they knew the tears & quivering voice saying how much they're growing up was soon to come. I remember when we were leaving to come back to SC & you stood in your driveway waving & crying until we were out of sight. If I could bottle up all your tears of joy, I might just have my own lil ocean & I'd let all of our tears of sadness & sorrow since you've gone drain into it. We love & miss you so much! We take comfort in knowing that we will be with you again someday.

Love Chris, Elton, Justin & Jerel

But now we're separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone-
You're forever in my heart.

Death always seems so sudden,
And it is always sure,
But what is oft' forgotten-
It is not without a cure.

I'm walking now with someone,
And I know He'll always stay,
I know He's walking with you too,
Giving comfort everyday.

There may be times you miss me,
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me,
For I'll be waiting for you.

Now there's many things for you to do,
And lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy, live your life,
I love you, and this you will always know.

To my Dearest Brother,
I am so sorry for your loss, and even more sorrowful that I cannot be there to comfort you. With each new day, comes new hope and aspirations. Let us live in the light of our loved ones passed, and not in the dark of our own loss from their passing. Maureen is an awesome individual, and I've always respected her, and you, and your lives as a whole. Blessings abundant to you, from me, your lil Bro, Scott.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."

Let us make every new day, better than the day before...
I Love You Bro...

Pam,
Although I did not know your aunt, I feel like I did, after the long talks we had on the many nights we shared together. From what you said she was a great person who had a great family who loved her very very much!!!I hope you all stay strong and lean on one another for support.

Aunt Maureen,
I miss you so much already, and will always love you. You know you have always held a special place in my heart and I held one in yours. The memories I have I will cherish forever, from being a little kid spending weekends with you to just hanging out gossiping as adults. The family just will not be the same without you, but I know you are here in spirit and will watch over us until the day we join you in heaven.
