Memories and Condolences

Dad
March 19, 2008
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.

Everett Hickman was my dad and he was great ,He was a dad a son could count on. He helped me more time then I can count. He got me my first job in construction. The same work he did we were on the same jobs a couple of time and he was the hardest worker on the job. I guess thats where I learned to be such a hard worker from my dad. Love you & miss you dad your oldest son, Bernard Ray
How you can show support

My dad was an honest hard working man. To honest at times because he told you you the truth even though sometimes you did'nt want to know it. When I was a teenager we did'nt always seem to see eye to eye. But what father and teenager son does. As I became a man I realized most of the time he was right , All I ever wanted was to make him proud of me. Two weeks before he left for hevean. He said "Herman your a fine son and I am proud of you" I can never tell you how much it ment to me to hear those word's and to know he was. I will remember that for the rest of my day's. Your my hero dad I love and miss you, Herman

My Dad,Everett Hickman was a teriffic man and wonderful husband and dad.He was everything mentioned in this book and so much more, He was born in kentucky a very poor state When he was very young boy he did small jobs on farms to help out the local famer's to make money he did things from helping harvest crops to taking care of the animals. As he got older (a teenager)He started working on a milk truck delivering milk to the local people in the area. Thats when he met my mom Anna (Gertrude) Sweeney she was about fifteen yrs old By the time she was sixteen and he was tweenty they were married March 20th 1957 .He continued to do what ever work was around to support his family,A family that included six sons at this time. Times just seems to get harder in Kentucky so he left his family behide and came to Ohio to find work in 1966 first to Cleveland, then to Columbus.During this time my mom (Anna) and his boys were still in Kentucky. He sent what money he could times were so very hard then. I remember him telling me a story about living on potatoes for a week and then bolony and bread for the next week. When he first started working in Ohio, Well he finally found a house and had enough money to move his family to Ohio with him. Times were still not easy but they had a roof over their heads and food in their belly's . My dad finally got a better paying job with cardinal industries. They had a daughter now so there were seven childern by now. I remember him telling me he did'nt beleive I was a girl so he made the doctor remove my diaper so he could see for himself because back then the husband was'nt allowed in when the woman gave birth. That was in 1969 in 1972 the second girl was born and this was the last child the would make up Everett Hickman's Family. That made eight childern in all. He then went to work for the carpenter local #200 union. I never remember him missing work for anything but I guess with that big of a family he could'nt afford to. Rather he was sick if it was freezing or so hot you could'nt stand the heat he was always at work to take care of his big family. And that work was anything but easy in fact it was very hard what people call back breaking labor. My Dad never had an easy life he was a hard worker who provided good for his wife and childern. I don't remember the hard times he told me about all I know is I never went without I always had everything I needed and most of my wants too. Everett Hickman was a man of his word, honest as the day was long,very stern with his childern but loving at the same time there was nothing he would not do for the people he loved. And if you had the chance to be his friend you were a lucky person to have him as a friend. he was the kind of friend you only get once in a lifetime the one who would give you the shrit off his back as my son said. He used to say you could count your true friends on one hand and still have lots of fingers left. thats because his defennition of a friend was differant than the one's most of us know now days. I could go on writting forever about the kind of man my dad Everett Hickman was an unless you knew him you would never gasp just how special he was and I not just saying that because he was my dad just read this book and you can see it's the truth.If I had to descibe him in one phase it would be Everett Hickman is what makes a real man!! God brook that mold after him.When God decided to call him home he took someone very special from his family and this world for they will never be another Everett Hickman.I was so Bless the day God picked him to be my dad. Nothing will ever be the same here on earth without him here I miss him so much. But I know he's with God now.Doing Gods work and God has one Hard Worker in Heaven now.

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.

I LOVE MY GRANDPA! so much he was like a second dad to me.I was there everyday almost. and we were there every Sunday because that was Race Day. My Dad and Grandpa would sit downstairs and do nothing but talk and watch the race.every once in a while when their favorate driver was'nt winning or there was a rain delay they would go out and sit on the front porch and drink coffee and talk,and when I would ask what they were doing they would answer me by saying "sitting here telling lie's" It was so funny.I just wanted to tell everyone how special he was & how much I love my Grandpa and what my favorate memory was! P.S I will always remember you Grandpa Lov Ya, your grandson Chance P.S.S I MISS YOU LOTS!!!

My papal was the nicest man you could ever meet. If he liked you he would do anything for you. He was the kind of man that would give you the shrit off his back,But he could also be one of the most stubborn man you ever meet too. It was he way or the wrong way! He was more then just a grandpa to me he was evreything to me. We went fishing together,Had long talks where he would tell me stories on the front porch .And his favorate thing to to was for us to go to the thift stores together (he called it the junkstore) He would buy stuff from there and keep some and sell the rest in yard sells he had every summer .One thing he did I will never forget is He told me to come upstars with him when we got upstairs he gave me alot of his pocket knifes one day. He knew he was sick and wanted me to have them. I was so happy to get them and so sad at the same time. The one thing he said to me that I will always remember is sitting on the front porch he said ;You can have anything or be anything you want in this world if you work hard enough for it. well papal I am going to work hard enough to make you proud you had enough heart ach. and when you look down here from hevean you'll see that I took care of those pocket knife's so someday I can give them to my own kid's when I pass. and you'll be proud of me I promise I going to work hard for you. Love you & miss you papal.Love, Devin

papa I miss you so very much. U were everything to me. Im so sorry that I didnt spend as much time as I should've with you.I know you knew that I loved you more than anything.You were also like a father to me. I remember living with you when I was youger and everything you did for me. I really miss arguing with you as weird as that sounds, we were so much alike that we would fight just to prove eachother wrong.I really don't seem real yet that you are even gone. I talk to you everynight when I lay down to go to bed. I know you are always going to watch over me.I wanna make you proud. I love you more then words could ever explain. I miss you.

with every waking moment, i miss you more & more. i've heard things get better with time, but they just seem to get worse. i cant wait until the day i see you again. you & grandma are my everything. she's the only thing i live for now. i never thought this would happen & it still feels so unreal, everyday Grandma & i just sit here, its so quiet, its so different, things will never be the same. every second im in our house, i just lay on the couch you no longer sit or sleep on, i look at pictures of the happy man i once knew. im so glad your not suffering anymore, but i wish a million times i could just hold your hand one more time, just have one more hug, one more laugh. sometimes it feels like you went to KY or the junk store & im just waiting for you to walk in the door, but then reality kicks in & i realize your not gonna walk through that door & it kills me. i miss you soo much more than anythiing, i love you so much & im thankful i got to share so many things with you. - your daughter, chelsea leigh hickman

In memory of my husband Everett Hickman, we were married for 50 years. I love him and I miss him very much. Now there is an empty chair, no one can fill that empty space. I didn't want you to suffer, not one day. I was sad my heart was broken when you had to go. There is no way that's easy when its' time to say goodbye. When GOD sees it fit to take someone so very close and dear; I know he's with you through your worries and your fears. - Love always your wife, Anna "Gertrude" Hickman

It's been a month since my dad's been gone now it feels like yesterday I was talking with him sitting on the couch. Then again it feels like it been soo long!what I would'nt do just to hear his voice say Debi again. I miss him so much every time I walk into the house (my mom and dads I still say) I miss him sitting that couch saying its about time you got here I thought you said four o'clock not six.I miss him calling just to check on me and to ask if we were coming up. And hard as it was taking care of him those last couple of days. I Long to hold his hand again I know he is in a better place now and he will never hurt or shed another tear but my heart aches inside just to hear his voice one more time to touch his hand or kiss his face. My life will never be the same again and neither will marty's or my kids he was such a big part of our lives.And now will never see his face,Hear his voice, or touch his skin again. I am so grateful for what time God gave us. and I try to be strong for him. I just miss him sooo very very much!!I love you dad

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in
green pasters;
He leaded me beside the still
waters.
He restoreth my soul;He leadeth
me in the path of rightousness for his name sake.
Yea, though I walk though the valley of shadow of Death, I
will fear no evil; for Thou art
with me;thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies;Thou anointest my head with oil,My cup runneth over. Sureley goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;and I shall Dwell in the house of the LORD FOREVER.

With me he was #1. I really miss Sunday"s on race day But I know He is up in heaven saying; Now you know Jimmy Johnson going to win, And most of the time he was right.I love ya Everett & miss you so very very much Your friend, Marty

Chelsea and Grandma you guys are in my prayers, every night. You are such a strong women Grandma and you are dealing with this so much better than i ever could. Your marriage with grandpa of 50 years is something that doesnt come so easy, especially with his stubborness =). He always had to be right. I envy your guys love every day and hope to have that with someone in my future. I plan on naming my son everett.. after grandpa, my dad, and my brother. They were all such a huge part of my life, and were taken so suddenly. But we all know that god can take much better care of them than we ever could. Rest In Peace papaw, and i cant wait to join u and others in heaven someday. I love all of my family and am praying for you all. And always remember, god only takes the best.

you were my world, you made me who i am today & i couldn't have been so strong without your words of encouragement. You gave me the strong faith i now have. Im so thankful you adopted me when I was 2 years old. You were the only Dad i've ever had. You were Grandma's back bone, her everything, Im going to make sure she is okay for your sake & my own. She is all i have now & she's amazing, i wouldn't be able to make it through this without her & aunt debbi. Im going to prove to you that you didn't waist your time & Im going to do everything in life the way you would've wanted me too. Im so happy your not suffering anymore...that was the hardest part, seeing you like that day & night, not being able to do anything about it. There will NEVER be a day that goes by that i wont miss you, or wish you were there to see something special. But i know you're looking down on me, and you'll be proud, just like i promised. Im happy that i got to share this journey with you through life & death, atleast i can have that. Only Grandma, Debbi & Myself have that <3 & No one can ever take that. I'll always remember everything you've taught me. No words could ever express how thankful I am to have had you in my life, or express how much i love you, just know...you'll forever be in my heart & i miss you more than anythiing. <3

Everett was the best friend a person could ever want. We worked many years together and retired from the Carpenter's Local #200. He was like a brother to me. We shared lots of happy and sad moments together and I cherished every minute I spent with him. I will miss him dearly.

THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that evening 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 nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Love, Aimee
Dad just a few days before he had to take to a bed and even then his will was still intack or maybe it was just he was hardheaded but what ever it was I'm glad God gave it to him because it gave us seven months with him instead of three.To cherish!
