Carl, we still miss you so very much. You are always near our hearts and always will be. Your daughter is beautiful and so precious to us. She misses you too. I can see it in her eyes and she doesn't understand -- none of us do. We just know that you are with the Lord and that all of us will be together some day and how we long for that day to come. Last night we lit a candle for you and thought about your life and it's meaning.
with all our love, Mom and Dad

Dear Colin,
I promised that one day I would be able to write to you and not cry, I think this is the year. With God's help, after five hard years, mom and I are able to think about you, talk about you, laugh and cry at the memories and enjoy our life again. The joy you brought to us, the memories of our 21 years together and the life lessons you taught us stay with us forever. We miss you son, we love you as only parents can love their children and we trust that you are safe and blessed in God's love.
Love, Pops

I lost my oldest son. He was still born on July 11, 1995. I miss him so much and never a day goes by that he crosses my mind. I can never forget that day as it is with me in my mind as each year passes by and as each holiday comes and goes. I love you baby!!!!

Today we are remembering our Son Joseph Calixto Valencia. Joseph passed away on June 8, 2004, he was 14 years old. We miss him terribly. Our daughter wrote a poem which I want to share here. She read it at our candle lighting ceremony.
My Angel
Don’t cry, my angel, I’ll wipe those tears
Be still, my darling, the end is here.
Hush now, dear child, no more to fear.
Be good, my love, you’re almost there.
I’ll miss you, my dear, gone for now
I love you, sweet angel, free from the sinning
You’re free from pain, but this I vow
This isn’t the end, just another beginning
For now, you’ll leave and I’ll miss you so
Too early for my heart to feel this pain
Never were you really meant to go
My tears will shower down like rain.
Forget me not, my dearest love
I’ll have these memories for myself whenever
You’ll be my star in the heavens above
For this parting is not forever.
We’ll meet again, just wait and see.
You were the greatest joy I had ever received.

This is an unbelievably hard December for us since we have now lost both of our children. Our Jon died on Jan. 1, 2000 at the age of 20 and now our Joanna has died just short of her 20th birthday on Nov. 16, 2008. They were the two most special angels in our lives and now we are missing them both so much. May God hold and keep you Jon and Joanna. Mom & Dad love and miss you so!

This is one of the saddest Christmas seasons I can remember. I did not think I could miss someone that I saw so little of throughout the year. It was always there...Ali and Ziggy or Ziggy and Ali. I was so happy to see she was regarded so well by her co-workers and friends. She had grown into a sweet and remarkable woman. Ali was such a presence in all our lives and will never be forgotten. Merry Christmas, Ali!

In remembrance of my beautiful little grandson "Ronan O'Neill Shankles" born August 4, 2008 who went home to be with the Lord, My God, on November 3, 2008. It is very hard to understand why the Good Lord would take him home at such an young age. But I rest assured that he is in God's arms. My heart just aches to hold and love him with kisses and hugs! Your mommy and I love and miss you so much our precious baby boy! Rest in peace sweet baby boy!

CHAUNACEY, MASON, BRETT, AND BABY: MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DO NOT THINK OF ALL OF YOU. IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE GOD TOOK THE FOUR OF YOU HOME. I KNOW YOU ARE ALL IN A BETTER PLACE BUT MY HEART IS SO BROKEN. LIFE JUST ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT ALL OF YOU. CHRISTMAS IS THE HARDEST OF ALL. I KNOW THAT THE BRIGHTEST STARS IN HEAVEN ARE THE FOUR OF YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FOREVER. ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES AND YOUR PICTURES IN A FRAME. A PART OF ME WENT WITH YOU THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU ALL HOME. FOREVER IN MY HEART, GAMMA T/MA.

My Dearest Ryan,
I can not begin to tell you how much I miss you!! When I lost you 4 years ago my world came to a sudden halt and I left with you. How could my 8 year old get the flu and not get better. I still just can't believe it. Gregory and I miss you so much!!! Its just no the same without you and I just want you back!!! I try to be happy but my heart just hurts to much not having you with me every day. I have your drawings all over my wall to constantly remind me of how much you wanted to be an artist. Remember you said you didn't have to learn how to read because you were going to be an artist. I thought that was just the funniest thing.
I miss you Ryan, I really really miss you!!! Love you lots, Mom xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

My dear Tara,
It has been almost 3 years now since you left us. We miss you so much, more than you can ever know. Yesterday was a hard day for me. Sunday's always are, because we always spent our Sunday's together. But I still rejoice in the thought that you are in a wonderful place and that you are with your Daddy, your GiGi and Granny. I know ya'll are having fun up there. We lit a candle for you and your Daddy last night at Rodney's. It made me feel better. I loved on your sweet Anna too. I'm glad we still have her. Well, I'm going to close now and get to work but I want you to know that you are and will never be forgotten. Your smile lives on in my heart.
Your Mommy

James Wyatt - You were a joy in my life for such a short little time- 18 months! We love you and miss you very much. Allyson and Tucker talk about you all the time. Daddy and I love you so much!
See you soon! Take care of everyone in heaven for us till we get there.
God is good even in the darkest times.
Faith is when you have gone to the edge of all you know - knowing that when you take a step God will give you a place to stand of wings to fly!!
It is not a loss if you know where it is!!!

My beloved daughter,
You live on in my heart. Everday I long to see your face, hear your voice, touch your hand. I want to be sure that you know how much I love you. I see your smiling face in photographs and realize that you will stay forever young, forever full of the dreams that inspired you in life. You left a mark on many lives, people that will remember you always for the special things that you did to enrich their lives. You are now an angel watching over all of us. Let your warm, loving touch fill my heart with hope so that one day it may heal and be whole again. I will never forget you. I will love you just as I did that first moment that I held you in my arms and I will wait anxiously to see you once more on the steps to heaven.
Your mom

Danny,
It will be two years this New Year's Eve since I saw your smiling face. My heart aches for you and I want so desperately to hold you in my arms that sometimes I feel as if I will go crazy with that longing. We celebrate your life as we knew it but I feel so cheated that you aren't here celebrating with us. Just know my big chunk that I love you and I miss you so very much. Michael and Kaitlyn say that they miss you very very much. The candle lighting was beautiful last night and as always we had 3 tables full of family and friends all there for YOU!!
I love you and I miss you... My only wish for Christmas would be that you could somehow hear this message and know you were always and forever loved!
Love, Mom

After almost 3 months, I still can't believe your gone.. While I know you are in a much better place, it's still doesn't seem fair that you aren't here with us. Know that you are missed every day and will never be forgotten. Please watch over your mom and Steph and help them get through this holiday season. I love you.
Til we meet again,

Dear Jill,
I lit a candle last night for you and Paul and pictured you together.
Your mom by all appearances is doing well, but she misses you so much,
we all do. Your family loves you and wishes for you to be with us but we
know how bad your pain was here. We know it was time for you to be
at peace.
You are our angel and even more so you are an angel watching over
your children. We are trying our best to be with them, maybe you
can talk to the big guy up there and work a miracle.
I love you.
Auntie Karen

Bryan - this message is for you.... with tremendous love.
I was not one of the fortunate ones to have even known you in your short life - but I had the blessing to meet your beautiful Mom who dearly loves and misses you. If you were anything like her - you are surely sitting with God right now in total peace. Grant your Mom and her family deep peace and love this season and for always.

It is more than 10 years since a woman in uniform appeared at my front door. My arms still ache to hold Norman. With the love and caring of family and friends and TCF, I have found ways to share the fun and warmth and depth of my child. Each time I give to another, I am spreading joy and caring. I send sweet, gentle love to us all. The actual and symbolic love we share keeps the good of our dear chldren alive. Amen.

My dearest Paul,
Funny how my heart and mind were so heavy today you would think that I would be used to this wouldn't you? I know that grief doesn't get better, it gets different. What stays the same is how much I love and miss you. I was at work at 7pm but I bought two flameless candles, one for you and one for Jill. As the candles flickered together I pictured you and Jill together in heaven and looking down on all of the family. I hope that you are both at peace and happy in your life on the other side. One day we will be together again, until that day, know you are always in my thoughts.
Love,
Mom

I had to burn candles last night as we had no place near by giving a service. It was just as well at home to burn the candles, they were for my daughter 28 years, grandaughter Caitlyn, 6 years old and Carter 2 years who died in a house fire on October 5 2005. My heart hurts everyday for these 3 people. It is so very hard to get up each day and it has been 3 years. They are on my mind every minute of every day. I did not think a person could hurt this bad for this long with out death taking them as well. It is a God send to have this program. God bless all who have lost a child or someone they loved so much.

Not a day goes by that we don't think or speak your name. You are forever in our hearts. It has been a rough 3 years but we are somehow finding a way. We know you are okay and in a much better place. You are always around as we both feel your presence at times. Know that you are loved still and will be till we meet again.
Merry Christmas, Christopher. See you at Billy's on Christmas Eve.
Much love
Mom and Dad

Jason,
Last night, we lit a candle in rememberance of your life. While the whole service was beautiful, I wish your name wasn't on that list. I wish you were with us still. You would've been proud though - we had the biggest candles there (thanks to Mom). I think about you all the time and missing you is a constant ache in my heart that I don't will ever be erased. I'll love you forever...
Yours,
Stephanie

My Dearest Stephen,
You have been with me since the day you left this earth. To say I miss your physical presence is an understatement.....your strength, your knowledge, your common sense, your joy in learning new vocabulary or sharing new information from any of your liberal arts classes, your love of the young children that you worked with, your striving for a perfection that cannot come in this lifetime, your caring for others and desire to help, your beautiful eyes.......your willingness to help me when I needed it......well, I need you now to walk through each day...and to face the sun........I heard you last night ..... I heard you say I am already here......sometimes I do need a reminder......my heart has a hole in it that will never be filled........wrap your arms around me......I need to feel your energy...I love you my dearest son......

Until we meet again my precious on.

I had my first candlelighting service Sunday, it was really nice. Four different families came, we had a pastor and singers there. I got help from doing this and talking to others. I do hape to have this again. I appreicated everyone that came, it was out side and got cold and windy, but I think as a whole everyone liked it. I'm inerested in becoming or having a compassionate Friends meetings or organizeing one, if that is possible. Liet me know.....Thank you for your interest in prtents who has lost children. Linda

Dear Demetrice, you were in my life for 19 years, 5 months and 9 days. We miss so much. This is the first christmas without you and it really does hurt. I still cry for you, to long and hear your deep voice, your shy smile and you coming through the door with your basketball in you hand. Now I know that you are playing basketball on the always winning team with Jesus as your coach. I miss, love you, I will see you again. You will never be forgotten and you will always be in my heart. My dear son.
Love mom

Today has been 2 years, 10 months, 15 days since we lost our only son. He died from the result of an ATV accident. Our hearts are so broken that it feels like sometime I can't go on. I know life goes on and my son would not want me to grieve like I do. But losing a child is out of the test of life. As I lit the candle in his memory and the memory of all the other children I prayed for God to help each and every beverered parent in this season. I wish I could go to sleep and wake up and find it January 2nd but then I'm facing the dreadful accident and the death on February 1st. My heart has a hole in it and the edges are raveled, only with the HOPE of JESUS can I go on. I have hope that one day we will see our son again. He will be waiting for us on the other side at the river and walk us through Heaven. I want to stroll all over Heaven with our son and Jesus.

Teddy, My precious son, my heart. You have always been the most treasured gift I have ever received from God. What can I say that I haven't told you a millions time over...it has all been said. Teddy, you know you will live on and on in my heart from now throughout eternity. That's a given. You know how you are my life and how much I love you. Never forget this my son. I am not going to leave you a long-winded message tonight. You know this because I talk to you everyday and I light candles for you everyday. And, not a day, hour, minute goes by that I don't think about you and miss you more profoundly than any words could explain. I still look forward to being in Heaven with you. Soon enough is not soon enough for me. Until that time comes, you know I visit you and you visit me. Thank you for all the love, joy, and laughter that you have brought into my life since before the day you were born.
Love eternally,
Mom

Jeffrey, thank you for the snow, but did you have to make it so cold? I am so glad we were able to have the candle lighting, even though it was frigid, everyone got to light a candle for their child. It is a very moving night. We had old members, new ones, ones that only come for the candle lighting, but everyone got to light a candle in memory of their child, grandchild, brother, sister. I love and miss you son, and you are forever in my heart. When two hearts touch, they become one, like us. Merry Christmas Jeffrey! Love ya--Mom

DEAR MOOSE BEAR (KODEY)
IT HAS BEEN ONLY BEEN 7 YEARS SINCE GOD CALLED YOU HOME TO JOIN THE OTHER SPECIAL ANGELS IN THE SHORT 5 1/2 YEARS YOU WERE WITH US. YOU TAUGHT EVERYBODY AROUND YOU SO MUCH. YOU SHOWED SO MUCH LOVE FOR EVERYONE. YOU COULD BRING A SMILE TO ANYONE EVEN SOME OF THE TOUGHTEST BIKERS WE KNEW. OUR LIVES WERE FOREVER CHANGED ONCE YOU WERE BORN AND WILL REMAIN CHANGED FOREVER. I CAN BE IN A HORRIBLE MOOD AND THINK OF YOU AND HEAR YOU SAY KISS MOMMA, HUG MOMMA, AND SMILE AND MY MOOD IS CHANGED BACK TO BEING HAPPY. YOU BROUGHT BUBBA, ME AND DADDY SO MUCH HAPPINESS AND
MOOSE I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY AND THANK GOD FOR BRINGING YOU INTO OUR LIVES.
IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE 8TH CHRISTMAS WITHOUT MY BLUE EYED, BRIGHT EYED MOOSE. YES I STILL COLLECT MOOSE'S AND EVERYBODY STILL GIVES THEM TO ME. I HAVE A MOOSE ON MY DESK AT WORK ALONG WITH A FEW PICTURES OF YOU.
SO MOMMY WILL WILL SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME.
WITH ALL MOMMY'S LOVE

We think of his life that would have been , the fine times we all had together, and how much he is missed by his family and so many many friends.

Michael,
You are always on our minds. It's still hard to believe that we haven't seen you or heard you voice in over 4 years. The twinkle that was always in your eyes, that twinkle that now shines down from the night skies at us. It's hard on Dad and I, but it truly breaks our hearts that your not here with your brother and his family. Stay close to all of us, because we do feel your presence. We love you, miss you so very much....Until we meet again.....
Love, Mom, Dad, Stephen, Tina, Nina and Mikey

This message is in memory of our beautiful son Joshua Michael Robinson born October 13th 1981 and went to be with the Lord July 29th 1999. We have missed you so much each and every day but know how blessed we are to have had you with us for the time that we did. We thank the Lord every day for the blessings he gives us and the joy his promise brings to us. Each day here without you is so hard but we know there are better ones to come. We spent the day today at Disneyland in your memory and lit your candle there at 7:00. Our prayers go out to all those like us that are dealing with loss and a special thanks to Compassionate Friends for all those they help to get through it. We love you Josh.

My Dearest Jonathan, I can't believe it has been exactly 3 years and 5 months since I last saw you or heard your sweet voice. I can still smell you and feel the way your lips felt on mine the last time I kissed you. My heart aches and I long for you. Somedays it's almost unbearable. Your dad has been with you the last year and I find some comfort in that. I know how much you love each other and I know how happy you must be that he's there. It's Christmas again and I want the two of you back more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. Nothing will ever be the same again and in my heart I really have not accepted that yet. I feel your presence around me and I know that we will all be together again. I have hope in that. I know Heaven is a real place and I know you and dad are there. I know you're ok.
Nothing I can say or do will ever fill the void in my heart but I trust that God has a plan and we're in it. Knowing that will keep you with me untill I see your precious face again. I know that you're not gone, you're just for now gone from my sight. I love you, my baby boy. You and dad take care of each other for me. Love you, Mom

My Christopher,
Another year without you... thirteen now. There's not a day that goes by that
I don't think of you and say your name out loud. I still miss our talks and your hugs
and I miss dreaming about you. I get through each day knowing that I'm one
day closer to seeing you again.
I love you Critter!

I light my candle In memory of our baby girl, Baby Jean. Born and taken into God's hands on October 21, 2007. In this past year, there has not been a day that I don't think about you or wish I could have had the strength to hold you the day you were born into this world. But you will always be in my heart. I know you are in good hands now and with your great-grandmother, Nana, and Aunt. In my heart I do believe that we will meet agian someday and I will get to hold your tiny body close to me as I did your big sister! We will always carry you with us in our hearts. We love you and miss you more than anything in this world. May you rest peacefully until we meet again. I love you - Mama.

To my dear boy Nick. I want to let you know how much I love you and that I miss you terribly. I know that you are now in a place that has no limitations and where you are free of those seizures that tried to hold you captive. You were such a pillare of strength to me as you went about your life refusing to allow your epilepsy keeping you from living life to the fullest.
You brought inspiration and guidance to so many people by your tenacity and your desire to be the best that you could be. You were a great example to those who you shared your life with. Your unwillingness to compromise your sobriety and your devotion to staying sober brought many wonderful people into your life and to the lives of your mom, dad and sister.
We may never understand why your time here was cut so short - but I try to remember that this life as we know it is only one leg of the incredible journey that we are all on. This belief and the certainty that I will see you again is what helps me to continue on ~ to make the most of this part of my journey and to honor your life by being all that I can be.
Thankyou for sharing your life with me and if your spirit is able, please come visit me.
With all my love,
Mom

Today is another day to remember how bright and beautiful each day with Jacob was for his Mom and Dad. Another day to remember Jacob's smile and laughter. His love for everyone and his zest for life. Jacob is a bright light that will be remembered for ever. His light is shining through his Mom, Dad and little sister, who love him and treasure him each and everyday.

I just want to thank TCF in Illinois of this wonderful outreach message board. While lighting my candle for my daughter Denise and graddaughter Kathryn, I thought of all the wonderful loving parents, grandparents, and siblings I have met through TCF. I thought of all their children that have touched my life in hearing stories of their lives. Thank you again.

To My Dear Son Josh , brother , father , uncle , friend .
No one could ever fill the empty void that losing you has created . I believe in God's promises that one day we will all be together again . Until then , know that we miss you more than words can convey and that Daniel ( Mini Me ! ) is with us and doing well . He looks just like you son : )
I'm going to keep this short as it's too painful to continue . Just know that we'll never stop missing or loving you until the end of our days .
Our Endless love and thoughts to you my # 1 Son ,
