Hard to believe four years have gone by without you in our lives. Even though you were 39 and a grown man when you were called to heaven, you'll always be my little boy and I'll always feel so helpless that there was nothing I could do to help you defeat that terrible brain cancer. Today I read my journals that I kept while caring for you and was reminded of how much pain and suffering we both endured. I'm so proud of you for how brave you battled without feeling sorry for yourself. We were so blessed by all of the people that God placed in our path during that journey. All of the doctors, nurses, health care professionals, clergy, family and friends that did their best to comfort all of us. And I saw how you touched all of them and so many still remain close. You and all of those friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers today. Diane and I placed a dozen of fresh yellow roses at your plot. Yellow is symbolic for love. Always know that we love you, miss you and pray that you and all of our beloved family and friends in heaven watch over us.
Rest in Peace my beloved son.

Today is three years that you left us for God's kingdom and considering the circumstances at that time, it was God's blessing for all of us to end your suffering. Yet the same hurt that I felt then is ever present and we all still miss you so very much. Only my faith counters that pain knowing that our reunion will come to be. R.I.P. my son. With loving memories, Dad

Brother, it's been two years since your passing. There is not a day that goes by that I don't see your face. Missing you man!

Love,
Your Big Brother, Allen

Your Loving Dad

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence
we often speak your name.
All we have now are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
with which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping
we have you in our hearts.
A thousand times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly
in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
no one can ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn't go alone.
For a part of us went with you
the day god took you home.

I guess this is the only way for me to say goodbye to my "nephew". We were cousins but you always called us "Unca"
Donald and Aunt Joyce. Now you will rest in peace and be free of pain. We loved you while you were here and will never forget you.

My beloved son, you are hardly gone and I miss you so very much already. We've been through so much together this past year. I feel like we've been able to share a lifetime of precious moments in just a few months. I'm so proud to have been your dad, seeing the kind of gentle, generous, loving and warm-hearted person that you became. I watched you bravely face and battle against your dreaded affliction, never complaining, always trying to help others and raising their spirits. I saw how you touched the lives of so many along your journey. While we're mourning your loss, I'm sure there must be joy and celebration going on for your arrival in God's kingdom. I will always love you, miss and remember you until the time comes and I can join that glorious celebration too. Eternal rest my son.
