"Sweet Pea"

Toree Lee

Poder

On September 1, 2007, Toree Lee Poder, 15, stood from her wheelchair to walk through the gates of heaven to be with her Great-Grandma Weasel once again.

Toree, in spite of her lifetime of chronic illnesses, always had a smile for everyone. Toree has touched every person she has ever met. Toree was my little social butterfly, and her grandma and aunt's weekend buddy. She loved music, singing, her computer and talking on the phone. For those of you who knew Toree, you understood how she just had that way about her, the "Toree Way." I have been very privileged and proud to have such a fun-loving, goofy, brave and most of all, beautiful daughter.

Toree was born September 23, 1991. Welcoming her into heaven are her great-grandparents, Tony and Hazel Perri and Carol Lorey and grandpa Louis "Buddy" Poder. She is survived by her mom and step-dad, Amy Poder and Bruce Boland; little brother, Brennan Poder; grandma, Toni M. Perri; aunt, Lisa Perri; great aunts and uncles, Joe and JoAnn Moran, Jerry and Sandra "Ninni" Green; loving cousins, Tiffani and Dan Fultz, Kristine, Kathy, Reyna and Joseph Moran, and Dick Doria; close friends and neighbors, the Bodosi and Mosher families and Kevin Fongheiser; father, Troy Poder; grandmother, Peg Fost; aunts and uncles, Travis Krieger, Lisa and Rick, and Brian and Carrie Poder.

To everyone at Akron Children's Hospital, thank you for caring for Toree as if she was your own. Special thanks to Dr. Sarah Friebert for sharing with Toree her last can of Coca-Cola. To everyone at Barrett, Reidinger and North High School, and her many bus drivers thank you.

Since Toree loved wearing her jeans, T's and flip flops, please come in yours!

A celebration of Toree's life will be held Wednesday from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Anthony Funeral Home Kucko-Anthony-Kertesz Chapel, 95 W. Waterloo Rd., and conclude with a memorial service on Thursday at 11 a.m. Donations may be made to Akron Children's Hospital Palliative Care Center or the Hematology and Oncology Department. (Anthony Funeral Home Kucko-Anthony-Kertesz Chapel, 330-724-1281, www.kakfh.com)

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Sweetpea,

This weekend we are cherishing your memory and letting it live on by celebrating your 21st birthday.

No doubt we will all be sharing stories about you. I'm sure a few tears will be shed, but we will also be smiling because you lived, and were and are a part of our lives.

I know you will be there with us.

Still missing you, Grandma.

September 12, 2011

hey there toree this is your friend chante from school i just thought that i would send this note to you to just to say that i have been thinking about

September 26, 2009

The Cord
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

the memory becomes a treasure.

September marked a year since you left us and your 17th birthday.

Your death will always be our loss, but your life was such a gift to us and will always inspire me and make me see things in a different light. I remember and deeply miss all the Toreeisms, your joy of life, your love of people, your sense of humor, your laugh, singing together, the Saturday night scares, and the "Toree Way".

Someday we will be together in heaven above, but for now my sweetpea, I send you all my love.

I feel you everywhere, you are with me everyday.

Eternal love, Grandma

Love You Always, Ninni

April 25, 2008

Toree, that night I looked into your eyes & knew the end was near
I never could imagine the pain & all
the tears
It broke my heart to lose you but you did not go alone
A part of me went with you the night I could'nt bring you home
You always saw the joy in life
inspite of all your pain
You are an inspiration to all, the knowledge we have gained
You brought love & laughs to everyone you met
You touched all of their lives in a way they will never forget
So for now my little Toree, please remember you are loved
I can't wait to see you, to hear your voice & to touch your soft skin
I just can't wait for the day we are all together again!!

I Love You, Mom

I'm so very sorry to hear of Toree's passing. She was so full of life and laughter and brought so many smiles to Barrett staff and to all who met her. I've been retired from Barrett over five years and often think of the kids who I met throughout my 30 years of teaching there. Toree stands out and is remembered. May God be with you at this difficult time.

Rita Becton

October 1, 2007

Dear Amy: It has taken me awhile to sign this guest book for Toree. I tried before and I just couldn't bring myself to do it but now it's time. Toree was my own special 'Miss. Diva'. If I had something on that just didn't look right I could count on Toree to 'get me together'. That whole group was pretty special(Toree, Elizabeth, Marisa, Cymphany, Taylor, Rayshawn, Chante', even Shaun). Sometimes we would 'but heads' and I would tell her "Your hormones are actin' up again". I miss all of them but I think I will miss Toree the most. Maybe it's because I've known her since she was a baby and I saw her go through so much but never complain about her situation. It didn't get her down; at least not for long. God knew Toree would grow to be the 'BEST' that she could be in the short time she was on this earth and the only one in the whole world who could help her acomplish this was 'YOU'. Toree became the beautiful young lady she was and touched so many lives because 'YOU' planted that seed in her. All of us who were blessed to know Toree will cherish the memories we have of her(But I've got the earings!). May God bless you and keep you during this time; but then I know He already has. LOVE RITA B.

Dear Amy and Friends,
I'm sorry for your loss. Toree was a wonderful young lady to have in my classroom at Barrett. She always had a great attitude about learning. I enjoyed working with her. God Bless you all.

Toni Perri

September 21, 2007

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my grandaughter. Toree was such a loving, joyful and bright life force. Her chronic illnesses did not cripple her love, silence her courage nor conquer her spirit. I could never have asked for a more wonderful grandaughter. She gave my life such joy.. from her earliest days to her last days she lit up my life and made me the luckiest grandma on earth. In her short 15 years, so many lives were enriched for having been touched by her life. She made everything so much more fun (seeing it through her eyes and her sense of humor). Toree's joy of life and strength taught me so much. I will treasure my memories of her forever - and I will miss her everyday of my life. Only death separates us, so we are separated only by time.

I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name; speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me. Let my name be forever the same as it always was, let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was; there is absolutley unbroken continuity, I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. --Canon Scott Holland

Dear Toni Marie, JoAnn, Sandy and Family,

I was so sorry to learn of your tremendous loss. Although I didn't know Toree I feel I know her spirit. So few of us are blessed to have someone like her in our lives, if only for a short while. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.

Dear Amy, From one mom to another who has lost a child my heart is with you at this time. Please hold on to the love you shared with your child and all the memory's. Toree was one of the visits I looked forward to the most. Her smile and the way she always shared with me. Her joy when she would show me her newest purse. The last time I was there the joy she had when showing me her room. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Please know that I am there for you if you ever just would like to talk to someone who is walking this same road. Love to you

Dear Amy, From all of us at Peds of Akron, I would like to extend our sympathy to you and Brennan and your whole family. I will never forget Toree's sweet smile everytime she came to see us. I especially remember the day she came in right after the Brittany Spears concert. Toree was so excited that she was invited to go backstage to meet Brittany (too bad Brittany got goofy these last few years). Toree told me all about the concert and what fun she had. I bet heaven is a lot MORE fun, isn't it , Toree??

Sande Howarter

September 8, 2007

Dear Sweet Amy, How well I remember your little gutsy girl, Toree, When you two would stop in to the Parent Library at CHMCA. She was so young and yet Linda and I marveled at how she would not stay still, crawling around in her own indominable way. She touched our lives, there, even in her very young years. May everyone who was touched by her spirit be a better person for her life. You and she will always be in my heart, Amy. Sande Howarter

Amy and family,

I was stunned and saddened to hear of Toree's passing! (I was out of state on business most of the week and unable to attend the memorial service.)

I will always remember Toree as one of God's "special people" - she always had a ready smile (or an impish grin!) on her face and a love of laughing. She always seemed to bring a sense of joy with her, like a breath of fresh air. She will be greatly missed on this earth.

I pray that God will wrap you and your family in His loving arms to comfort you and give you the peace of Christ in this time of grief and sorrow.

Carol Jones

September 7, 2007

Dear Amy and family. All of you are in my prayers. Toree was truly a beautiful blessing to us all. She will always be with us. May God bless you and keep you in his care.

A couple of years ago, my mother and I had the pleasure of chaperoning Toree and her classmates on a field trip to the Carousel Dinner Theater. My mom spent the entire afternoon with Toree, and later told me how much fun she'd had and how wonderful Toree had been. There was one thing she couldn't figure out, though. "Why", she asked, "is Toree in a wheelchair?"
Toree taught my mom something very valuable that day - something that she never forgot, and something that I will always appreciate. My mom was an amputee as a result of an accident, and until that day, thought that was all people saw in her. She learned, because of your beautiful daughter, that people really do only look for the beauty in a person. Toree had beauty to spare.
God Bless

Toree, what can a person like me say about you, ya danced, ya laughed, ya sang, you put your hand on your hip and called people crazy, threatened to call the police on people if they acted mean to ya. I think those are all good things, I cant forget the blown up rubber glove and flying pixie toy, we got Weasel pretty good, very fond memories. You show them how to use those angel wings and teach them Nick Lachey songs. I love ya very much Toree I will see you again someday and I will bring some Coca Cola. Unka Warry

Amy, Troy and Family,
I had the pleasure of babysitting Toree when she was just a little baby! Although its been years since I have seen her, I have thought of her often and was very sad to hear she had passed away. She was so sweet and I will miss her. My thoughts are with you all. Please get in touch with me if you need anything.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Amy and Family, Tiffani has talked and talked about her cousin Toree. I feel like I know her. Please know that my thoughts, love and prayers are with you. I know she was serenaded by angels as she walked through those pearly gates. I just can't imagine meeting our Lord and seeing family that have gone before us. God Bless You.

Please know that Toree has touched our family like no one before. Her gift of gab & love of life left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Toree was the toughest person I have ever known.
She will forever be in our thoughts & prayers.

Amy, Brennan and Family,
We can't say enough how sorry we are to hear of Toree's passing. I didn't know her well but at the few baseball games you brought her to, she was always smiling, being friendly and everyone seemed touched by her bright personality. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask. God Bless you and your family.

Amy,
Our loss is God's gain. Toree was such a beautiful young lady, and our department will miss her tremendoulsy! Many bus drivers knew her so well, and we all looked forward to the days she was able to go to school. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tor,
I'm really not too sure what is going on. All I know is you're in heaven, running and playing & not in pain. Heaven is cool place, my grandpa is there too (he's the good lookin one- kinda looks like my dad). I asked him to keep an eye on you - he always loved pretty girls. Anyway, thanks for my first "tv" kiss & for teaching me how to be nice, caring, loving and most of all TOUGH!
I miss you, love you and will never forget you.

Your friend,
Ty

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

We lose, heaven gains, I know Toree made more of an impact in her short life than I ever have. Her approach to life was an inspiration and I am happy I had an opportunity to meet her. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family at this time. I know God has a special place for Toree.

God Bless.
Jeff.

Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of Toree's passing. I hope that you find some comfort during this difficult time knowing that she is free from pain and illness forever more. Heaven is receiving a beautiful angel as she flies to Jesus. May she sing and dance up there with all of them. When you hear that special song or sense her special presence, just know that she is there with you, watching over you, her brother, her dad, her grandma Toni, her Aunt Lisa, and all the rest of her family and friends.

Amy and Family, How much I will miss Toree and you getting off the elevator on the 4th. floor at Children's and seeing that smile and hearing that Toree giggle. Toree brought sunshine to everyone she came in contact with, I feel so blessed to have known her, you are an inspiration to all of us.
