Papa,

I will always cherish the memories I shared with you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss the the songs, knee slaps and you chasing me around the kitchen. I never did tell you that those chocolates where sugar free, gotcha!

You where a strong influence in my life which made me the person I am today, and for that I thankyou. I hold you close to my heart and that keeps me strong. I miss you and with all of my heart.
I love you! xoxo

ps
Derek is keeping his promise to you.

I miss spending time with you and laughing with you while you would flirt with the girls at A&W. You will always live in my memories.

Dad
I miss you everyday and it breaks my heart to see "your old bird" so alone without you. Time has not healed the empty hole left behind when you passed away.
I will always hold in my heart all the times we had together but my strongest memories are of being a little girl, holding your finger or being held in your arms and always feeling so safe and secure. I will always miss the way you made me feel and sometimes wish I could turn back the clock. Even though you never found that pill to keep me small, I was always your baby.

Love always and forever,
Nicole

Papa,
It has been a year and a few months since you passed away. The memories I have with you are always in my heart. Its been hard letting you go, but i know that some day we will meet again. I will always love you and I miss you every day.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”
- Winnie the Pooh
Thie quote reminds me of you and your words to me.

Love forever and always,
Your Pooh

To Mr. Arsenault and Family:
I'm sorry that God has taken you from your family, when he calls we must go. I know that you live on through your children, in looks, gestures, etc. I am glad to have been a part of the Arsenault family's life, especially in the early years, meeting a best friend in Debbie in Grade 1, as well as getting to know the whole family, and to this day, Debbie and I remain best friends. I was happy Debbie lived here when she was going through this tough time and I only hoped I helped her through some of it with what I could do. All the best to Mrs. Arsenault and the rest of the family.

I guess it's to late to get my ponies back.....This will be a converstion we will continue when we meet again. For now, know that in life I respected and loved you, and I will miss our many road building and mining conversations; it was honour to have you in my life.

Take care my friend

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.

Dad... time has passed quickly since the day you left, yet it still feels like yesterday. You are always in my thoughts - a word, an expression, or a memory from years gone by surfaces and you are once again with me. Time is helping to heal, I am now able to think of you without tears....you were always able to make me smile, and thinking of you makes me smile.

Dad I love you - Porky

Armand you will be sadly missed by us. Your a wonderful brother-in-law full of wisdom, authority, loving, kind, witty, comical and gave good advise to people you cared about.
My family will always remember the time their Uncle Armand took them to a Gust Ranch and they had such a wonderful time. memories they will always cherish.
I'll miss your interruptions while talking to Barb on the phone and saying you two still on the phone then you would constantly pick the phone up and do us a little tune. then Barb would say here he is again now doing his little dance.
Richard (Roger) and I will treasure our little chime frog you sent us and it will always be with us as if you are here. You will always be in our hearts, prayers and thoughts.
Love Sandra, Richard & Family

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.

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay love isn't love untill you give it away...I give you my love
Dad gave me this card when he got back from Houston Texas May 10 1980 ( the day Mount ST. Helens blew)
I am lucky to say that there was never a day I ever felt different.

I love you Dad and miss you very much, I look forward to the day I can stand tall beside you again .

Forever yours Dirty Old Blue

Today is the first day of 2008 Dad we all miss you so much. I find it sad to call back to Chilliwack and you no longer do the screening of the calls for mom. You played the same game over and over at times it was frustrating but now i wish you could do it one more time. Love and miss you always

To the Arsenault Family: Thank you so much for always making me feel so part of your family. I have so many fond memories of my teenage years spending time - time well spent - at your Tsawwassen home with my best friend Michelle and often times with Cindy, Vanessa, Nicole and Arthur there also. I especially remember Mrs. Arsenault spending time with us - MIchelle and I sitting around her kitchen table drinking tea -listening intently to her stories of life in NewBrunswick. She holds a very special place in my heart. Thinking of you all at this especially reflective time of year. May peace be yours this Christmas, now and always. Our thoughts and hearts are with you...

POEMS BY CIARA BROWN NOVEMBER 16T

NOVEMBER 16TH 2007:
I FEEL LIKE I’M STUCK IN A BAD DREAM,
WHERE THINGS KEEP GOING WRONG,
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO FACE IT,
THIS PLACE SHOWS FEAR, SORROW, AND DEATH.

PAPPA
MY EYES LITE UP WHENEVER I SAW YOU,
I LOVED THE WAY YOU LAUGHED
BUT NOW IAM SAD FOR I HAVE LOST YOU
I KNOW THAT WE WILL MEET AGAIN
IN BY THE HEAVENLY GATES WITH EVERY ONE ELSE

WHEN IAM GONE TOO:
WHEN IAM GONE TOO WE WILL WALK FOREVER,
WE WILL WALK IN THE MEADOWS OF LOVE,
WE WILL WALK IN THE FOREST OF LAUGHTER,
WE WILL WALK ON THE MOUNTAIN OF PEACE,
WE WILL SWIM IN THE OCEAN OF TRUTH,
WE WILL WALK ON THE GREAT WALL CHINA,
WE WILL EXPLORE THE GREAT PYRAMIDS,
THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO HEAVEN
AND VISIT OUR FAMILY AND HAVE DINNER

I will always love and miss you Pappa, I will always cherish last summer and being able to spend the whole summer with you and Grandma.
Love your youngest grandchild Ciara

Dad it has been hard knowing that the next time I come back to BC you will not be there. To say how much I love you and how much I wish I could go back and spend more time with you. I love and will miss you but know I will see you again. We will look after mom for you.
