	I lit a candle last night in remembrance of my granddaughter Charleigh. Charleigh and her idential twin sister Baileigh were born September 23, 2011. Their 2nd day of life both Charleigh and Baileigh started to take a turn for the worst. They were across from each other in the NICU. All day we stayed with them, praying for them, going back and forth, then Baileigh started showing signs of improvement and Charleigh did not. It was if Charleigh was helping her little sister. The next day Charleigh passed. Charleigh is Baileighs Guardian Angel now and in my heart forever-not a day goes by that I dont think about her-Im so blessed to have met her.

	My most precious son and only child, Wesley, passed away suddenly over eleven years ago! He was almost sixteen and the most wonderful and caring person. He was a terrific athlete, prankster, and friend to many. I learned after his passing, that he tutored many in the early morning before class at his high school and was instrumental for many graduating. He was a loyal and loving cousin, who was the actually the glue among them. Wes was an integral part of our entire family and his love spread far and wide. He is missed terribly by so many but most especially by his Mom and Dad! We love you so very much, Wes!

You filled our lives and our house with more love and happiness than we could ever have imagined. I'm not sure how I continue to live and breathe without you. But I am, and I think it's because of you and your love. I promise you that we will never ever forget you. You are forever a part of us and of our family. I just wish it didn't have to be this way. Please watch over us. Please continue to shower us with your love and light. Forever loving you, Mommy and Daddy

	Hey there - as I know you know I'm only here now and not yesterday because I didn't have the strength last night after the candle lighting to leave a decent message. It's still hard. I'm so sorry that we were apart and fighting on your last Christmas on earth. All that matters is that you are in Heaven and YOU are HAPPY, it is all that matters. I love you so much. I hope with all my heart and soul that you remember the kisses goodnight... the butterfly, fluttering each other's eye lashes against the other's cheek, the eskimo, rubbing noses, and the regular. I hope you're showing them to God because you remember them. Mommy

We will never forget her because she blessed our lives in so many ways. I cherish the memories of her laughter, her sweetness and kindness, her ability to see humor in the hardest times, and her faithfulness to all who loved her.

	I attended the service in Parma Ohio last night. I had a candle lit for my son Andrew who left me November 1st, 2010. My life was forever changed on that horrible day and the person I used to be is now gone too. I find the holidays to be so painful and it it weren't for my 2 younger children I probably would just let them go by. The Candle Lighting Service was a special reminder to me that he is always in my heart, even during the hoidays. Thank you TCF for giving us the opportunity to remember "our children" in this special way. Andrew Christopher King 6-30-89 to 11-1-2010 you are ALWAYS loved and NEVER forgotten.

I miss talking with you and sharing our day. If i could have just one wish come true, it would be to hug you one last time, and to tell you how loved you were in your short life. Look down upon those of us that are left on earth and I will look up to the heavens at you. Momma loves you and misses you. Merry Christmas with Christ my son.

	I loss my baby boy on September 10, 2008. Braidon was born to early and only lived a short while. I miss him more every day. I know that he is looking down on his dad and I from Heaven and feeling our love for him. Baby boy your ornament is on the tree and the lights are shining just for you. I wish you were here right now to play with the beautiful puppies that we have been blessed with, I know you would just love them. I think of you every minute of every day, so many things brings your memory to me. At this time of the year it seems even harder to face the fact that you are not here with me. Christmas shopping I see so many toys that I just know you would have loved. We miss you baby boy, and we will continue to miss you and love you forever.

	Dear Kasey Lynn, Words can not express how deeply missed you are! It is hard to go through each day without you but somehow we mange to. It has been a 1 1/2 and we still think "Did this really happen"? Please know you are always in our heart and in our lives (just in a "new" way). We miss you and can't wait to be reunited again one day! Love always, Mom, Dad and Bobby <3

The closest that I can be at this time, is when you are in my dreams. I will never get over losing you. You are my sunshine. You're my little boy with a heart of gold and you were always a very unselfish little boy. I miss you so much little Bubby. I love you more than I could ever love anyone and more than I could ever say. You brought me joy and I was always so very proud of you and I always will be. Keep warm in heaven little Bubby and know that you will always be in my heart and never forgotten. Save a big hug for me. I love you always and forever...xoxoxoxoxoxo Mom

	My dearest daughter, Melinda Rose - marvelously love-ly linda Melinda, I miss you sooooo very much - more and more it seems with each day that is added to the day before that which marks more time since that so very unsuspectingly last hug we shared just before you entered the doors of the San Jose, CA/ USA train station in San Francisco and then on to a Vegas New Year's Eve+ time with special family & friends afterwhich you flew away back to New York City, the latest - and so unexpectedly last - "big city" in which you lived and studied and worked and played and adventured and made many new friends as you wholeheartedly invested in having & developing an array of meaningful relationships with others And as you invested fully in life itself...Oh, what spirit! what zest of and for life! What caring & sharing plus - what so very, very much more you were all about. You had a uniqueness that shined upon so many, significantly positively impacted so many lives - on both sides of the pond...and beyond... Oh, what a blessing it would be to once again experience your physical earthly presence - and I know that I'm "way not alone" in wanting such a blessing as you to be once again an ongoing part of my life in this way...But, such is not to be, so, fortunately I - and all who knew you - are & can continue to be blessed by the fullness of the in-the-spirit life you now lead. And , in so doing, we remember you...Thank you for doing what you were able to do in your 28 year & almost 8 months of earthly physical living life so that now, we, your family & friends, can time & time again experience the remembrance and the actual strength of your kindred soul and spirit... There is so very much more I could and would like to write, but, I'm going to "spare cyberspace: from more mom sharing verbiage from t.for now, my love-ly linda..Melinda, my surprise bicentennial-year blessing of a baby, my Melinda Rose, the continual love from me...

Christmas is just so empty now without you here but I try to keep some of our traditions going..It gives me a little peace, if only for a short time..I hung your ornaments on the tree, I will bake our goodies and remember the fun and laughter we shared every Christmas making homemade marshmallows and cookies..I will hang your stocking on Christmas Eve, but it breaks my heart to see it empty on Christmas morning.. I received your special message the other day and I was glowing with joy..No way was that a coincidence..Wow!!!

	Tonight I am lighting another candle for my precious daughter, Wendy. Another Christmas without you, and now Sunny too and I am missing you both so much. I was unable to attend the candle lighting service tonight but my heart and prayers were there with all the parents who have lost a child. It is a heartache that never truly goes away, a void that cannot be filled with anything else, we just must learn to keep living. I am also lighting a candle for my sweet Sunny, your cousin, Tomm, your aunties, Marilyn, Donna & Dottie, friends, Sonia and Jay O. & Carol. Life is so different without all of you. I am truly happy that none of you are suffering anymore. You had 22 years of immense suffering but always had a smile and joy in your heart and the Lord was your strength. Sunny suffered only a few months and while I miss him too, I am glad he didn't linger. My love for both of you will never die until I leave this earth and join with you again. Both of you rest in sweet peace in the arms of Jesus. I love you, Mom

And I'm comforted knowing that we are linked this night by a thread of light. This night, for the 15th time, I lit a candle to honor the lives of my son, my granddaughter, my husband, and my nephew. On this dark night, I turned my face to the sky hoping they might be looking at that same bright star and know I'm remembering...and that I'll never, never, ever, ever forget Jason, Hannah, Alan, John and all the other children who I know and love through the memories shared in our Compassionate Friends group. I've searched and searched and found there's nothing I can do but simply try to live for them in everything I do. Love you - Miss you - ALWAYS MOM

	My only child, my Son Aubrey Rashad Johnson was shot 3 times on Thursday, January 21, 2010 and died on this earth on Friday, January 22, 2010. He was 28 years old, he turned 28 on December 24, 2009. He had 4 children, three girls and one boy. I miss him so much... at first I thought I was going to simply lay down and die when he died on this earth, but GOD's grace and mercy saved my life. He was a good father, a good son, a very loyal friend, he loved children and he loved the LORD. He was shot attempting to protect a friend from being shot. The killer was arrested on January 25, 2010, the trial was in October 2010 and the killer was convicted of first degree murder and was sentenced to life without parole. Justice was served thank GOD.

	It's late and we are safely back home after helping with the TCF candle lighting ceremony. I am taking my mask off. It feels sad, so sad to not have you here. We lighted candles for you tonight and voiced your name sharing fragments of how special you are to us. It was good but now it just feels undone, incomplete, not right, out of kilter, tilted, off balance, just wrong! The only thing that would make it right again is if you were back. I do not ignore the many blessings but the hole left by your death is bottomless. I'll love you forever, my 22 year old baby you'll be forever. MoreXinfinity&beyond

	This message is for Kaylee. She was taken from us on April 19, 2007, when she was struck while crossing the road near her home. She was about a month shy from turning 12. Words cannot express the hole that exists now in our lives. She was the youngest grandchild in our family. She was such an upbeat, happy kid. I'm sad that she didn't get the chance to see more of life than she did. It strikes you at random moments, the loss. So many things remind me of her. I always think that this is something she would have loved. I sometimes become sad when I do something in life because I realize that those are things she will never get to do. Now I don't know what happens to us when we are gone, but I'd like to believe that she and grandma are getting to know each other. I hope that she is happy. Kaylee, life just isn't quite as bright without you in it. I miss you. We all do.

	Dearest Zach: Three years without you passed in October and tonight was our forth candle lighting ceremony. Was it easier? I suppose it was if measured by the number of tears but I could still hear your mom's and sisters' hearts ripping apart. Or was it mine? Their tears are the thing that can still break me instantly. We miss you so badly but we are doing better. R & JQ are doing better. They send their love, but you know that already. Mom and I are trying, for them, but it feels a lot like biding our time. Someday we'll see you again. GNSDGBYWLYISSRUM-HK-Podcast. More, Dad

	We held our 14th Children's Memorial Candle Lighting event at St Peter Armenian Church & Youth Center in Glendale,CA. We were about 60 people, almost half were here to support those of us who have lost a Child! We are blessed with such loving relatives and Church family. It was such a moving event. We remembered our Children, we cried, we shared our stories, and we comforted each other. The weather was great, and there was this 1 shiny star in the sky!!!! And to say that this started with my daughter Cathia, whom we lost 15 years ago, and now we touch so many families! Thank you Fr. Vazken for being the amazing person that you are!!! And thank you TCF for making this possible to all parents around the world.

I miss your smile, your kindness, your sweet soul, your voice saying, "I love you Mom." I want to see you and hug your neck and tell you how much you are loved by everyone. You fought such a hard battle and why this had to happen I don't understand. I will never understand...I am so sorry my sweet son that I could not protect you from this end. It will soon be our third Christmas without you here. Nothing is the same. Please come home my sweet boy, I love you more than a wagon full of puppies. Mom xo P.S. Dad and sister miss you so much too! ?

	So pleased to be together with such good people tonight at our local candle lighting. I am blessed to live here where so many have held me upright for the last almost 6 years since you died, Milisa. We have such good friends. I was so touched that Dad joined in and honored you by saying your name and lighting a candle. He did it for you and me and I loved him for it. It was very hard for him..thanking you for smiling down on him. I sometimes wonder if you and Uncle Stan and Uncle Richie have met up. I miss them so much too and always wonder what their lives would have been like as well. Blessed be the memory of Milisa Ann Jakubek (9-12-89/3-4-06) Stanley Thomas Union (10-8-65/11-14-82) and Richard Charles Union (1-16-58/5-24-79) I loved you all.

I know I will be able to be with you again one day, though it won't be here on earth, but in a much more perfect place...Heaven. Until then, there is never a day that goes by that I don't think of you. There is a hole in my heart from not getting to see you and spend time with you physically, but I know there are signs of you when I look deeply around me. I love you so much, Love your big sister Marisa~ I hope you're making some good music up there in Heaven for the angels to dance to :) Troy Anthony Thornton 2-23-88 ~ 11-02-10

	My wonderful Son, Matthew - Three candles were lit for you tonight. If only you were still here with me physically and I could see that wonderful smile of yours, hear your voice, hear you laugh. The suddenness of your passing on 8/31/11 has left me overwhelmed and in disbelief. If only we had another chance to be together, tell each other we love each other again, give each other a hug, go out to eat, cook your favorite meal, watch a movie, call and text each other....I miss everything about you. I love you so much. I always have and always will. I'm so proud you came into my life 20 years ago and brought me so much joy and showed me how to be a better person. I'm so glad I was the fortunate one to be Your Mom. I respect you and the young man you are. You are on my mind every second. You are so kind, caring, compassionate, have a big heart, creative, witty, have a wonderful sense of humor, intelligent, charming. My heart is forever broken. Please let us comfort each other as best we can and I cannot wait to be with you again sweetheart. Love forever and always, Mom.

I miss you everyday and each day it gets stronger but as I tell you each and everyday, I miss you only until Heaven where we will once again meet up and be able to give each other that, oh so longed for hug. I cannot wait to see you as our Lord and Savior has promised us! The memories I have of you all those thirty-eight years are wonderfull! You gave me so much to lovingly remember, from when you were a itty bitty little man up to the thoughtful, loving and compassionate man you became. Though I have lost you here on this earth, you are still with me always because of those memories and because I know you are just out of site with our Lord. Thank you my child, my firstborn.

The anguish has softened over the years, it has become part of our being, and yet at times it still so alive and so very painful. What could have been and all the hopes and dreams gone in one swift second., so not fair for you and for us. We still love you, you are still very much a part of our family,we still miss you, we carry you in our hearts and minds forever. So much love goes to you my baby, now and forever Mom

	In loving memory of my sweet daughter, Becky, who has been gone from this earthly plane for over ten years now--and my dear nephew, Erin, who left us four years ago. I feel so sad at the holidays. The candlelighting service tonight was very touching. This is the first time Erin's picture was in the slide show; I cried. Such a nice picture! It showed his great big smile--I really miss him; I'm so sorry his two children are growing up without having him hug them, take them places--and treasure them. He grew up without his father, and it isn't fair for his kids to do this also. So many other children--Tyna, Daxton--and many I didn't know. I got to know their parents from The Compassionate Friends group.

As you probably know, Amanda sang two very beautiful songs. Her voice is truly a gift. She and I were remembering when you two were ring bearer and flower girl at your Aunt's wedding. Wow, that was about 28 years ago. I love you so much son and miss your physical presence. I am trying to live a good life as I do not want to see disappointment in your eyes when we meet again. Next time I take your sweet cutlass for a spin, please come along. However, you might get a little bored, I'm light on the gas pedal! I love you to the moon and back every day...... Mom

You will always be a part of me, I never will forget how you made me find the love within me that I could share with others, because of you I can love others. You were the best son a mother could have. I Love You my Forever Love. Till we meet again I will and be the mother to your sister that I was to you.I Love you my sweet son

	Miss you each and every day my precious son Evan. It's been almost 6 years. On my hard days I know you are telling me, "Mom, you are doing a good job and I am right here with you even if you can't see me." On my easier days I feel you everywhere and then I can be joyful and happy about life. You taught me so much about living. I try to honor your courage, strength, and spirit every day. You had a great gift for making life fun for whoever you were around. I miss you terribly, we all do. Help me choose love over bitterness just like you did. You played the cards you were dealt with such grace: diagnosed with AML leukemia at age 21, you died 1 year later, 3 months after turning 22. In the end, all there is is love. I love you and I always will . Keep on shining...

	In one week, we w/remember it has been 14 years, since I got the phone call no mother should ever receive. David, you had your life so planned, to follow the dreams, follow God's direction in your life, & to build your future, trusting Christ for each new day. Little did you or any of us know, that God had a plan, to bring you Home, that night. God has gotten glory in your death, as well as your life! I could sit here & write, on & on, about you, your life, what you meant to me, and the affect you had on all of our lives. But for now, I will tell you what you always knew, how much I love you. The hole in my heart will remain,but God is healing me. I accept His perfect plan, but it has been a very confusing journey. I love you, my baby boy! I thank God for you, your life, & for choosing me to be your mom for those 19 years! I thank you for your sweet spirit, sense of humor, your passion for things that are right, your obedience,balance,fairness! Thank you for loving me! Your Mom

	My Sonshine, I ran across a note you had written the other day. It stopped me in my tracks. Touching the same piece of paper you had just touched. It felt as if I could turn and hand it back to you. Or simply ask you what it was all about.... You had just touched it. Why can't it be that simple......?? I haven't heard your voice in what will soon be six years. You were just here. I love you Mansy! I miss you always, but still can't quite wrap my mind around what has happened. I fear I'm not doing this very well. I keep looking for the answer... I read, I listen to music, I stare at the clouds or at the stars at night, but I can't find the answer. So I put down that book, turn the station on the radio, point my face back to the ground and look for the answer somewhere else. Forever, Mom

	Oh my son, how much I miss you tonight! After hosting 10 candle lighting remembrance services in as many years, tonight I really kinda fell apart after the special music portion of the program. Not only was I missing you so deeply, but my heart was aching for all the other families that were hurting as well; especially those new ones with less than a year of loss behind them.No parent should ever have to light a candle or do ANYTHING in their childs memory, because their child should be right here with them, getting ready for a wonderful Christmas together.But since God has a reason for everything he does, we don't need to have the answers; we just need to have the faith that one day we will all be reunited and none of this pain and sadness will matter then. Your little nephew, your namesake, is the light of my life, and has helped to fill the void that your death left in my heart. I know you've enjoyed watching over him and laughing at his antics!Please continue to watch over him, your sisters, and everyone in our family that love and miss you so deeply.You are our Angel up above Mitchell, and I will never stop missing your presence here with us, and all the joy you brought to the lives of those who loved you.Your light will always shine my son, and I will NEVER let it go out.I love you more each passing day, and wish I could hold you in my arms and tell you just how precious you are to me;....mom

	To My little girl Kaylee Alexis Watson-Mendez. Not a day has passed that I have not thought of you. My heart aches for you. I cant help but feel relief that you no longer suffer but run free with the other children in heaven. We all miss you. Mommy, Isabel, Jaylin and Monika. We love you so much.

	I Love You and MISS You so much Brian. I miss your kisses goodbye. I wish things could been different - wish we could have found you before, I wish I could have said good-bye, I wish we could have talked one more time. You need to know how much I love you and I forgive you. Forever & Always - oo/xx

	Lighting a candle in rememberance of my daughter Roberta Louise Happe. The Glendale CA chapter had a wonderful, well attended Candle Lighting. Over 100 people honored their Children, Grandchildren, Siblings and friends as we lit our candles, read poems, listened to wonderful music and viewed the names that bring us together. Sharing is a start to healing. In my daughter's spirit and with Love and Hugs.

	I miss you more and more each day, and it's getting harder and harder to endure this Christmas season without you. Christmas Eve used to be the happiest day of my life because you were born that day 27 years ago. Now it will be one of the saddest days, along with July 31st, which is when you were taken from us this year because someone that you knew and trusted unfortunately forgot about your allergy to nuts and served you salad containing chopped up almonds. Such a waste - you were our beloved first born son - so handsome, smart, funny, a caring friend who was loved by so many, now gone from us because of a careless mistake. You will never experience getting married, having children and all the other wonderful things in life that you totally deserved! I have an eternal candle lit by your picture all the time...I never stop thinking about you and never will...LOVE, MOM

	Just got home from our candle lighting service. It was so nice and so meaningful for all the people that were there. This is the 9th time that I have gone and my heart still aches for my son that died ten years ago. I am so thankful for The Compassionate Friends.
