In Loving Memory of my Dad from Caroline

Your Daughter Caroline
It's hard to believe that nine years ago today, you went to heaven! It has flown by because we have kept busy with mom. She has been in the hospital for awhile now, but she is OK and will be OK because she is loved and cared for, just like you were. Me and Bethany hope you are happy with the way that things are going. We look after mom, the dogs and the house. The bills are being paid, the lawn is being mowed, but it's just a house while mom is in the hospital. We didn't know that on May 3, 2008, God was going to call your name. You did not go alone - a part of us went with you. Please keep us in your prayers, especially Mom!

Mam and Family, Pap was an outstanding human being. He lived with honor, he was good to his wife, his family. He was not only my grandfather but a mentor, a hard worker, a brave man having served our country. He will never be forgotten. Your in my prayers and thoughts, Love always, Nathan

Vicar David Abuya
Dear Ruth and Family, Please know that the family of St Mark Lutheran Church is lifting you up in prayer, and mourns with you in this time of loss. Listen to the words of St Paul as he encourages us not to fall into despair when a Christian dies: "Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: �Death is swallowed up in victory.� �O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?� The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:51-57, ESV) May God sustain you in this time of sorrow with His everlasting and everloving arms. In Christ, Vicar David

Hi dad in heaven I didn't want time to go by and nobody writes on your page you were a awesome dad a great provider we still speak of you often and mom still misses you like it was yesterday you left. You know Frank n glenn are up there now which u already know but the space in my heart where you all were is a hole now only God can stitch up.I'm sure your fingers don't hurt anymore while your playing your guitar for everyone and I have no doubt your a hit. I still remember you calling me your little chicken and would come home from work and even though you were tired you still would swing us on your foot in the doorway.Well I'm gonna go I just want you to know you will never be forgotten as long as there is breathe in my lungs and when there isn't I'll be where u are. I'm sending you a hug and a cup of coffee and some cookies.Love you Bethany #9

We were saddened to hear of Jack's passing. We have such good memories of all the family. The gatherings at your home on Belton Rd. Sunday dinners were the best. Jack was a very gifted man and an honor to our country. Our prayers go out to the family in the following days and weeks. God Bless All of you.

I never got to tell my Dad how much I loved the horse that he bought us kids. In my childhood, it's my most fondest memory. And I thank God that Dad and Mom were high tech for their times because we have video of our childhood that a lot of children don't have the honor of having. I miss him terribly already. It feels like a part of me died with him. I think it's pretty cool that he's hanging out with Jesus, and Clara, and his parents and Drew's Dad and little Yvonne and two of my children that I lost. I'll see you again one day soon, and it's going to be a great and wonderful reunion.

Dear Dad, We couldn't post about this when it happened, because we couldn't accept it yet. It felt like a bad dream. We still don't want to accept it, but we will probably feel that way for the rest of our lives. All of us have a hole where our hearts used to be - especially Mom. Dad was one of our best friends, the trusted authority on almost every subject under the sun, one day he would be a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman and the next day he worked as the Lion Tamer at the Circus. He loved Mom, he loved his family, he loved to play guitar and sing, he loved babies and life, He was someone you could laugh with and he had a big heart. If we had one wish, it would be to freeze time so that Dad wouldn�t have got any older or sicker and he could be with us all forever. None of us knew just how little we had left to spend together. We all miss you, Dad, more than you will ever know. Thanks for every memory, for every silly moment, for every day you were alive, and I know that now you are watching over all of us through the windows of Heaven. You will live on in the stories and memories of the family and friends you held so dear. We will never forget you. �From this day forward, You shall not walk alone. God's Heart will be your shelter, and His Arms will be your home.� With Love beyond Words, Caroline and Bethany

Pappy, First, I have to say that I love you VERY much! I'm gonna miss everything about you: Your kindness, your smile, your stories, your hugs, and mostly your big heart <3! It was such a privilege to have you in my life. You have been an inspiration to all who have had the pleasure of knowing you. Until we meet again someday, in my heart you will always be! Love Always & Forever, Julie

I will not stand at your grave and weep You are not there; You do not sleep You're a thousand winds that blow, You're the diamond glints on snow, You're the sun on ripened grain, You're the gentle autumn rain. When I awaken in the morning's hush You're the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. You're the soft stars that shine at night. I will not stand at my grave and cry, You not there; You did not die. Rest in Peace Pap we miss you

Pap, I never really got to know you all that well, there were so many of us. But what I do know and remeber was that you seemed to always have a smile on your face, and that you were always so happy when you had all of us around. Our Sunday family gatherings were the best and you really knew how to brighten the party. I loved to hear you play music, I only wish I remembered more of it. I love you very much, and until we meet again, enjoy yourself up there! God Bless- Jeremy

Dad, I would like to tell you how much it meant to me, when you told me how happy you were that I married your daughter, Mary. That you loved my cooking, and the way that I took care of my family. Your approval meant the world to me. When you get to heaven please say HI to my dad.

I remember my Pap's hands. His fingers were slightly bent with calloused knuckles. They were hands that saw many years, worked many jobs, held many children. I remember them holding his guitar, strumming chords that played in perfect harmony with his voice. I remember most of the songs that he played to us as children and I sing them to my girls. This is how I will pass on my grandfather. Not only through cells, blood, genes that now live in my children but his songs. Words that I will never forget, his voice I will never forget. I love you.
