Gav, Yesterday I started to post a message and I know that I miss you but I could not find words to explain, so I stopped, re collected my thoughts and decide to start all over. I miss you calling and saying Yello. Yello mommy or you would come by, sneak upon me and scare me. All those silly things I really miss. I know that you are in heaveen an God has never boken his promise to us so I need not worry about you.I loved you in lifa and will continue to love you in death.

GAVIN-
ITS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW, AND I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT NOT A DAY GOES BYE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE NOT IN MY PRAYERS. YOU ARE TRUELY MISSED AND LOVED BY LOTS OF PEOPLE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...
August 8, 2009
Dear Sonia and family,
It's been a year, now, since Gavin began his eternal years in glory with the Church Triumphant and the Lord of the Church on earth and in heaven. I know that you miss him greatly and mourn for him daily. Be assured that the Lord is always with you to keep you tuned to His gracious love for Gavin and for you and that nothing can separate you or Gavin from His abundant love. The Lord of the cross and glorious resurrection claimed Gavin as His own in eternity and baptized him into the saving faith, redeeming him forever. You will greet him in the glorious mansions when you ascend to the throne of grace yourself, being baptized with the same saving and glory giving waters. God bless you, Sonia, now and forever. Don't ever forget that death has been conquered for you and me and Gavin and the entire Church.
In the Lord's service,
Pastor and Gloria Hamer

I miss you so very much but I will not mourn any longer because I know that you are resting in the perfect arms of Jesus, waiting for that sweet by and by when that morning comes and all the saints are gathered home.I loved you in life and will continue to love you even in death. Rest in peace Gav. MOM

To all the family and friends who stood by me during one of the hardest time of my life. each and everyone of you touched my life in some way, you called to see how I was doing, you dropped by my house to sit and cheer me up, you brought or send a dish, sent a card, gave some money, prayed for me and my family and some took part in the Funeral service. The Thank you cards that I sent was not enough I really appreciate you all. It was not easy to listen to the news that was delivered to me on that faithful day August 7 2008 my first thought was not to believe that my son was no longer in the land of the living.I went for many months not believing. I have had several conversations with God and he fixed it.Every now and again the human side of me creeeps in but the Lord is always present when it does and he reminds me that everything has a season and with that understanding I am able to stand.

If anyone else see's this, please tell Gavin's mom to call Justin's mom, Cathi at 260-241-0952. I would love to talk with you and share the wonderful memories I have of my "second son". how I always enjoyed being arund him! What a wonderful time we had in Florida when the boys were on spring break. I keep you in my prayers and pray we can be in contact.

G-
Not a day goes by when we aren't all thinking about you! Manda misses you terribly and loves you so much. Tierra has a cell phone that she says she calls her daddy on-she says she calls you in Heaven. Reece is still ornery as ever. Koby finished football as an all-star and in now on to basketball- he know's you are watching down. I was just thinking the other day how when manda was pregnant with tierra and you used to call me and tell me that she was going into labor and I would get all ready to drive in and take you guys and I would say really? And then you would reply with no- and hang up. I would get so mad at you, its funny though. Then when it really happened I didn't believe you. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Ness

Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

Dear Gillian,
Please accept the condolences of both myself and my family. It is always hard to lose a family member, and a sibling is extra hard. Know that you have everyone's thoughts and prayers with you at this trying time.
August 11, 2008
There are really no words that can be spoken to soften the sorrow or lessen the loss that is felt from losing someone close to us. At the passing of a loved one, those of us that are left behind feel a profound sense of sadness, emptiness, and grief for awhile. Pangs of deep loneliness set in as we survivors envision a future without the deceased.
It is so difficult to realize that our loved one will no longer be present physically to share conversations, walks, hugs, or ideas with us. It is such a great loss because it involves losing a piece of yourself ... a part of what was a very important part of your life. Everyone and everything that we love becomes a part of us.
But it's important to realize that departed loved ones will always be with us. They live on in our hearts, in memories of their teachings, and in the lives of all who know them. They are very close to us in spirit, having only gone beyond the sound of our voices and the touch of our hands. While death brings sadness, we should also try to have a sense of joy for the loved one who enters into a "new home."
After the first stabbing anguish of grief has been softened by time, we may find great comfort in knowing that our loved ones are safe and free from all tears, pain, trials, and troubles ... for now they are where nothing can ever hurt them again.
