I would just like to say Thank You to everyone that lit candles and sent me Christmas cards. I was not up to sending any out, I know you all understand. Maybe next year. It was a really tough week for me, Anthony's birthday was on the 22nd, when he was born I brought him home Xmas morning from the hospital. So it was a double whammy for me. It's nice to know others care. It made me happy every day going to the post office and seeing a card for me. I appreciate it.

Thanks again Love Pat Holden

We would like to thank all who supported us during this time....the Holidays are tough at best and when more sadness is brought into your life, it brings everything you have been through right to the forefront......We are sad for all who have been through such a tragedy and wish that no one else would ever have to go through this pain.

Thank you for being so loving and supportive throughout  this journey.....it really is a comfort to have you in our lives!  You....who understand the pain all too well.

Love to You

Judie & Mike Smart

I have just started visiting this website and I can say that it has been the greatest source of comfort for me since my daughter's passing! 

I have tried other groups and have not felt as warmly welcomed as I do here on Angel Families. It is not an easy road we travel when we have lost a child, but it helps when you can talk to others who know what you are going through.

Thank you for all the help with graphics. I am not very good with  the computer and this has been an enormous peace of mind for me to be able to decorate my daughter's memory site and make it look beautiful.

Thank you all so much. I hope this website stays up forever.

Sincerely

Barbara Cortigiano

Mom to Angel Kelsey

 

  

 I would like to thank everyone for the support and healing words on Jimmy's website esp. on March 6th. This group is a wonderful, caring people. I would also like to apoligize for not being there for you more. Even though I am not on your angels sites doesn't mean I am not thinking of you and your precious angels.

 

I cannot begin to thank each of you who has lit a candle, written a tribute, helped with graphics and music and/or shared the stories of your angels and words of comfort during the past few months. Yesterday was a very difficult day for me because it was my Brandi's first angel anniversary. As you all know, sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems like forever since we had our angels with us. It seems I miss my Brandi more as each day passes.

I am blessed to still have my daughter Jamie with me and a tremendous support group of family and friends. Most however have gone back to their lives (which is very normal). Only someone who has lost a child can understand my pain and my need to keep Brandi's memory alive. Brandi's website has been such a healing project for me. It allows me and others who loved her a place to go to still "talk" to her. It is such a comfort to read all the candles and the tributes sent by so many kind and caring souls.

I hope to one day be able to help others who are traveling down this path without their loved ones as so many of you have helped me. Thank you all so much for understanding my pain, remembering my Brandi and for being the kind and caring people that have come to be my friends. Your angels will always have a special place in my heart. My faith gives me hope that one day we will all be reunited again. Until then, those of us left behind must make the best of the life we have left.

God Bless you all. Thanks again for remembering Brandi on her angel day.

Love, Marguerite Ward, Mom to Angel Brandi

 

 

 

To DESSA SMITH,WHO IS ALWAYS WITH ME. May GOD keep her in the palm of his hand. CONGRADULATION JUDIE SMART,ABOUT THE NEW BABY. JUDIE you too are are always with me.There are angel family members that sign Briana"s OR LITE A CANDLE, WHEN I LEAST EXPECT IT. YOUall are so appreciated,so much. I am aware i have post traumatic syndrome. ITS LIKE IT HAPPEND YESTERDAY. I have been a critical care nurse for 31yrs. my MD. agrees with me. BUT I HAVE AN 8YR.OLD GRAND-SON WHO NEEDS ME. YOU CANNOT DIE & LIVING IS TOO HARD. I spoke with a PSYCHOLOGIST/MINISTER A FEW WEEKS AGO. HE said there was nothing to be said that i did not already know or had seen. BUT, you see, he has never lost a child, so, we have a lot to teach him. IF you never experience our lost,no words can describe the depth of our pain. SO WE JUST KEEP PRAYING & KNOW THAT EACH ONE OF IS OUT HERE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER. you all have been holding me up for a long time,for which i humble before you,to thank you all. Good-night for now, MORAVIA LYNN SOLTIS BRIANA'S GRAMSEY

  

 

I just want to thank everyone who has helped me with any graphics and those candles lit that have given me some comfort. Although it took me a over a year to become responsive to angel families, you were there. With much love and happiness to each and every one.

 

I want to share our Good News with you. Troy and Megan are having another child...he or she is expected to arrive on or about July 19th.....Nothing can ever "replace" the precious Angels we miss so much, but there is Joy in the midst of the pain....and our Family feels blessed to be able to share in this much anticipated and Blessed event! Thanks for your friendship....Love to you always XXOO ^J^

I was so alone before I found Angel Families. I am grateful to each and every one of you who lite candles for Aaron and understand my pain and never ending grief. Here I can say his name and remember him and no one thinks I'm obsessing or drowning in depression. It's true that I will miss, love, and grieve for Aaron until the day I die, but to stop thinking of him each day and celebrating his existence and holding him always in my heart would be death for me. Remembering his smile, his kindness to everyone and his loving heart keeps me alive. Thank you dear Angel Families and thank you Judi for knowing exactly how I feel and for letting me share my feelings...forever an angel mom.

TO EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU, I THANK EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU FOR SIGNING MY GRAND-DAUGHTERS WEB SITE. www.briana-soltis.memory-of.com WHEN i think i am all alone, one of you always leave a message. HOW grateful i am for you. I have dealt with death & dying for over 30yrs.but, when it knocks you down, & you cannot die & its too hard too live, we need each other,because you cannot describe the pain & aloneness we feel at all times. Iknow i died with BRIANA LYNN SOLTIS DEC.21ST 2004. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL.

I want to say Thank You to everyone from the bottom of my heart, or at least whats keft of it, for lighting all the candles and birthday cards for Anthony and our family. It means so much to know others in this world truly care. It has been a very hard time for me, with his birthday being 2 days before Christmas. I ended up taking my other 2 sons away for 10 days, I just couldn't cope being home this first year. I think it was the best decision for me. We went to Aruba and it didn't seem like it was any special day, no Christams presents, tress, holiday music, thats what I wanted to be free of those things. I checked Anthony's site every morning and night and was so pleased to see that others had wrote to him. I want to come this summer to meet everyone at the family gathering. Again Thank You, you all make this just alittle easier to deal with. God Bless You. pholden1933@yahoo.com http://anthonysurvilla.memory-of.com

I would like to thank you all for lighting candles, adding a tribute/condolence, etc. to both of my brothers sites. It has been a very rough last few months for my family and I with the passing of Dan and Jeff. I'am so thankful to Keena for letting me know about this site, and to all the ladies that make the BEAUTIFUL graphics for us for our sites. It is so unfortunate that each and every one of us has lost a loved one/loved ones - but we must keep believing in that one day we will meet them again. I hope everyone has a peaceful and comforting Christmas and love to you all...Tammy http://www.daniel-schulz.memory-of.com http://www.jeffrey-schulz.memory-of.com

just wanted to take this time to Praise God for my Family and for the Friendship I have found in all of you. I feel like all I do is complain sometimes, but I never want to forget what is so precious right here in front of me! I love you all and am so thankful that I have you. I know I don't express that enough. Love Judie

Hello to everyone in this wonderful angel family. I want to say Thank you all for helping me with Anthony's website. It looks so beautiful. People like yourselves, helping others that you have never met but have had the same expiences as they. I truly praise all of you for just being there, crying for others, even though your hearts are hurting for your own loss. Just knowing there are people in this world waiting to help me, to go along from one day to the next. This site has been such an insight to the cruel world of losing a child, it has helped me to know that I am not alone through any part of this. Some of you have made graphics, put pictures in frames , added candles, lit many candles for Anthony, added songs. Too much to mention but just know that I truly appreciate all of you. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the next year gathering. Thanks again all of you Angels here on earth. anthonysurvilla.memory-of.com     Pat Holden ( Anthony Survilla's Mom) on September 28, 2006

I would like to thank all the Angel Families for the support they gave me on Allan's Anniversary you all mean the world to me even though some of you was away at the gathering you still managed to light a candle for Allan from there together we will keep our Angels memories alive forever thank you so much

 

 

Well so much for just letting my birthday go by quietly! I really do not know how everyone found out but it has something to do with Delia! lol I am so blessed to have so many Family members! Thanks to all who have email me cards, sent pretty graphics and wished me Happy Birthdy on Dusty's site. Today is the big "5-0"! As most of you know birthdays are not the same nor is any other day without our loved ones here to help us celebrate. Dad is still healing from surgery and Mom is so busy taking care of him, the kids (Dusty's friends) are all away at college, and my friends have offered to take me out but instead my birthday will be spent quietly at home. All of you have made me smile and know that "Together we can make it!" I love all of you and remember you daily in my prayers. Thank you so much. Nancy Davis, Dustin's mom

 

 

i just want to say thank you for all those who helped me make a memory-of site and the graphics and embellishments on my pictures. from the bottom of my heart thanks.

and, on the memory of site the name is Jordan Newland.

I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT.... GOD'S BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU.... AS THE PRAYERS GO UP THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD WILL FALL DOWN UPON YOU.... GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS PHYLLIS

 

 

 

I was so glad to find this site today, August 31, when I am thinking of my college sweetheart, Loris Bellintani, Jr., of Sao Paulo, Brazil, who was born August 31, 1947, and died August 31, 1987. This is a wonderful website where people can share their thoughts and gain insight and encouragement from others who have lost loved ones.

 

 

 

 

I just want to Praise God for this site. I have met so many friends here and I feel like God has helped to comfort me by allowing me to have this outlet to visit whenever I am thinking of my precious Angel. I had my Pastor look at this site and he had nothing but great things to say as well. This is a wonderful source of true support and understanding. Sincerely, Diane I     Diane C on August 23, 2006

From the bottom of my heart I thank all of you for thinking about Jason today, his angel date, and this entire week. July 14th is almost over, and we have gotten through another year without our son. I don't know of anything that can bring up more dread for us as angel parents than remembering the day and all the moments after.I do believe that my mind(or what's left of it)is truly my worst enemy at times. Hearing from so many of you and all of the candles helps so very much. Thanks for posting the dates. We really do know how to help one another like no one does!

 

 

I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR LOVING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS , AND FOR ALL THE CANDLES LITE FOR MY HUSBAND, BEST FRIEND AND SOUL MATE, I ALSO WANT TO THANK JUDIE AND NANCY FOR ALL THERE HELP WITH DAVE'S SITE IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMMING UP SOON ON JULY 19TH I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS IT JUST HURTS SO BAD. .I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE AGAIN FRAN GATES

Baby "A" Noah Peter Aguilera 6.15lbs and 19 inches, Baby "B" Zoe Elizabeth Aguilera 4.15 !/2lbs and 18 inches. Hope to hear from you soon. Teresa Aguilera

 

 

 

Just wanted to thank the angel moms & dad's that remember my son, Milo, that I lost to suicide on September 28th, 2004. With very little family, to speak of, there was hardly anyone that would come to light candles for Milo except for me. It eventually got me so down that I started to light ficticious candles for him . . . Amazing what we will do for the sake of love . . .especially for our children.

My thanks is enormous and very heartfelt to all of you. Special thanks to Judie Smart for making all of this possible, and another special thanks to my sponsor, whoever that may be.

Sincerely, Marla Williamson

 

 

 

 

I just want to thank all of you who work so hard to keep Angel Families going! Without you there would not be a website!..... This is not the work of one person by any stretch of the imagination!!! We will need to continue to network and work together as Angel Families continues to grow....A special thanks to Nancy and all the others who helped maintain the site while my computer was "down" for 3 days......I am still regrouping from the withdrawals and trauma of not being connected to my "family" for even that short amount of time........I need you guys.....Angel Families and the knowledge that people out there who know exactly what we are all going through, is an amazing COMFORT and source of strength! God Bless you ALL...Love To You Judie

 

 

 

 

I want to thank all of wonderful "family" that supported me through Dusty's one year Angel Date. It was a rough day and worse just anticipating it. I was surrounded by family and friends here at home but the "spirit" I felt from you is unbelievable. I could feel the prayers being sent my way.

God was holding me upright and strong. I felt His presence all around me.

"Together we can make it!"

Love to you all, Nancy

 

 

 

Thank you to all the Angel Families who lit a candle,sent a tribute or both for Austin's Birthday. It means a great deal to know that others are helping keep his memory alive and let me know there are others out that truly understand and care. I send each and every one of you a virtual BIG HUG

What Is Angel Families To Me

Angel Families are of one love. We have been brought together by the sorrowed loss of a loved one. We have found each other through our Angels. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, children, soul mates, girlfriends, boyfriends and friends of an Angel. We are gathered together for a greater cause, so not one has to walk alone in the journey of grief, helping each other and keeping our Angles memories alive and vibrant. We are one, loving, caring and compassionate about each other and our Angels. But together we are a family. We are Angel Families.

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Judy and Everyone, Thank you all so much for all the candles and tributes you left on Dom's site. I was ok on the anniversary and feel it is because of your love and understanding I have received from all of you. I felt held up in love. It is true that pain shared is pain lessened. Love and Thanks to all of you! connie

 

 

 

 

Who ever sponsered me ... I am so very thankful to them for doing so as Matthew wouldn't be able to be up on the site if they hadn't. They are truly an Earth Angel. I'd also like to thank any and all who light candles on his site helping to keep his memory alive.

Your Friend In Grief, Joyce Yack

 

 

 

 

I would like to first and formost thank everyone and anyone who has spent their precious time sending, warm thoughts and wishes to my family by either lighting a candle and or paying a tribute on my sister Vanessa's website.Words cannot possiably discribe how greatful we are to have encountered such wonderful people.

I would like to thank everyone who lit candles for Ian whilst I have not been able to do what I would normally. I am still having treatnmment at the hospital but am tryingto do more each day I am not there. You have all be wonderful and I thank you so much. I think that you are all wonderful people and I know it must be so much worse for you who have lost children, I feel so angry when I read about them, but I also know that God is love and they are with Him and so I try to think that when lighting candles for these lovely angels. Ian is older but loved and missed very much as he was all I had left. I hope you do not mind him and Bryan being in the angel site, if anyone does object I will take them out right away. Thank you again so much for everything. I have just been watching the March birthdays and they are beautiful. great work Nancy and Judy.You earth angels for sure. Thank you Valerie

I want to thank all of you for your love, prayers and support since I've been here. And most of all thank you to the special someone who sponsored Jenny.

Our beautiful baby grandson was born this morning......Thomas Craig Smart .....he was 8lbs 3ozs and 19 inches long.....Mother and baby are doing very well and we are all so happy and relieved!

 

 

I wanted everyone to know that on December 1, 2005, Johnathan Threlkeld, a drunk driver, was given 20 years in prison for killing Melanie, my precious daughter. Not a day goes by that I don't get sad and shed a tear for Melanie. I truly believe that when I cry or get sad, I am showing Melanie that she will never ever be forgotten! It only took 10 months for Johnthan's sentencing and for this Melanie's family is thankful. Also, to Judie and all the other angel mommies, I truly could not have survived my firstborn's death without you all in my life. My younger daughter Alicia (who we also call Archie) just signed her letter of intent to play college soccer at Midland Lutheran College in Nebraska. It was bittersweet, Alicia cryed and I knew she was thinking of Melanie at that moment, I am so proud of Alicia. It's amazing that my 18 year old daughter has lived through the most traumatic experience of our lives, and she still is able to continue to play soccer in memory of her best friend, her older sister, Melanie Amanda Archuleta. Whenever I get lonely, sad, confused and just plain upset I read the candles the wonderful angel mommies post on Melanie's website and I feel better knowing that we are all in this together and we were all put on this Earth to comfort each other and help one another! THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGEL MOMMIES!

Love, Rebecca Archuleta sokermom@hotmail.com

 

 

 

 

 

I MY SON JEREMY WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT FEB. 20 2005. BEFORE HIS DEATH HE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW REMAKE OF WILLIE WONKA TO BE RELEASED IN JULY. HE TOLD US HE WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST IN LINE TO GET A TICKET AND WE WOULD OF COURSE TEASE HIM ABOUT IT. JEREMYS FIRST BIRTHDAY IN MAY WITHOUT HIM WE HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR HIM. HIS DEAR FRIEND JONAS CAME TO THE PARTY WITH A SMALL BAG AFTER I SAID WHAT I HAD TO SAY JONAS STARTED HANDING OUT THESE SMALL ENEVOLPES TO PEOPLE. WHEN I RECEIVED MINE I OPENED IT AND IN IT WAS A GOLDEN TICKET I OF COURSE WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS AND COULD NOT READ IT. AS I WATCHED MY TEARFUL HUSBAND READ HIS ALOUD I FOUND OUT THAT JONAS WAS DETERMINED JEREMY WOULD GET THE FIRST TICKET. HE CALLED THE CINEMA AND ASKED WHAT COULD BE DONE. IN SHORT JONAS RENTED THE WHOLE MOVIE THEATHER. THE MOVIE WAS TO BE RELEASED AT 12 NOON BUT HE RENTED THE WHOLE PLACE AND THEY DID A SPECIAL PRIVATE VIEWING IN MEMORY OF JEREMY AT 9 A.M. BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. ABOUT 150 FRIENDS OF JEREMYS WERE THERE TO SHARE THE MOVIE WITH JEREMY. SO THANKS TO JONAS JEREMY DID GET THE FIRST SEAT. WE CAN NEVER THANK JONAS ENOUGH FOR THE THIS.

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to let Judy and Nancy want a great job they did with the tributes. They were absolutely beautiful.

Also wanted to thank everyone for tips on fixing Jimmy's website, esp Nancy. All of you are very special people and I privalge to call you my friends. It's so nice having friends when you feel so alone so much. Again thank you and God Bless

 

 

 

 

Hi all, I want to thank everyone who has said prayers for my family. And wanted to share that Tracy (our oldest daughter)is doing well in drug re-hab this time! She is in a program where she can leave any time(of course, for her there will be consequences, but that didn't stop her last time), and she CHOOSES to stay! We talked a long time on the phone tonight, and she had some very positive things to say. She feels Eric guiding her, and knows that we are all keeping her wrapped in prayer. She asked me to request that you contnue to pray for her.It is such a good feeling to hear her talking positive about her future plans and looking forward to HELPING OTHERS who have walked in her shoes. She has come a long way...but still has a long way to go. With the grace of God and the help of friends like you all, she can find the path back to sanity and freedom from her drug addiction. Thank you....Thank you. God bless you all, Ann Reeves angel mom to Eric Reeves 1981-2005

 

 

 

 

 

I have been overwhelmed with all the beautiful candles and tributes people have written. There has not been a day that goes by in 38 years that I have not missed my dear, sweet Billy. I really cannot type, Nancy is typing this for me because it would take me all day to write what I want to say. I just had to say thank you for your support for me and to Nancy for Dustin. She talks about all of you and has said how supportive and wonderful each and everyone of you are to her. I understand now because you have been that way to me too. I try to light some candles each day and I hope to get to all the sites. I also am learning the computer! God takes care of His children and He will take care of all of us. Time really doens't ease the pain but we learn to cope better. Now I grieve for my only grandson Dustin. I hurt for Nancy too because I know how she is feeling and I want to take her hurt away. Mommy can't always fix the boo-boos in life, but I am there for her. Thank you so much for being there and I thank Memory-of for the site. All of you are in my prayers.

Shirley Dean Billy's mom

 

 

 

 

Let me thank Nancy for all her work on the birthday and angel date slide shows too. They are beautiful. Judie and Nancy, you both have been a blessing to all of us. I thank the angel children for connecting us. Love to you both and you know you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Kudos to you both. Love, Donna Sarah's Mom

 

 

 

 

Thank you .....I am so happy that you like the slide presentations for the March Angel and Birth Days......I do want you all to know that Nancy Davis helped me on both.

I would just like to thank everybody who visits Allan's site and for helping me through this hard week the tributes and candles lit for Allan for his Birthday mean so much to me dont know what I would do without you all we have never met but I feel we are really all starting to be true friends Its just a shame for how we have met. I dont like to say this but I dont like my precious son's birhday doesn't that sound awful, I know you know what I mean the 26th was also the day of his funeral, bittersweet, I have to go away today for two days will be back on Wednesday evening so will you please keep candles burning for my baby and sorry I wont be here to light them for you till Wednesday night we have to move our caravan from the winter site to the summer one I dont want to go I want to lie around the setee for a week to get over Allan's birthday but maybe it will do me good a breath of air (and no its not camping) we have all the mod cons sky tv and cental heating thanks to everyone Delia Allan Tomlin Mum

 

 

 

 

I just want to THANK EVERYONE for going to my Nicks site for his Birthday.I have not been lighting as many candles as i was.Since i was hospitalized the doctor wants me to not be on the site as much till my nerves get some better.I had went to the edge which i know you can all understand.I really thamk all of you so very much.Robin Green Nicks momma

 

 

 

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all those that visited gemma's site for her birthday... i am overwhelmed that so many remembered.. so many visit time and time again which is comforting for me knowing that even after her death she still is touching peoples lives... although a sad day to know that there are so many others that truly know what i am feeling somehow makes me feel less alone.. although i will never ever stop wishing for Gemma to be back with me where she belongs... i know i have to just get on with life as it is now..

 

 

 

 

Well, woops again... My message is above this and I forgot to sign it... That will tell you where my head it. Love to you all. Donna Hurth - ^i^ Sarah's Mom

 

 

 

 

I too am so grateful for this site and all the Angel Families that have brought so much comfort to me and Dusty. You are all truley family. Nancy is right, this journey is not easy but together, we can make it.

Nancy: I too used to be afraid to fly. Not anymore! I ask my Angel to be with me and I know she is and that comforts me. So you too will be fine - ask Dusty to come along with you and I know he'll be right at your side.

Judie: thank you so much for for the graphics, I love how you organized them. You have done so much for all of us, it's amazing. God bless you.

Cass: Thank you for the ^i^ sign, I love it. I hope you don't mind, but I've been using it... You are creative. Thanks.

 

 

 

 

I often think of where I would be without all of you. That thought scares me! The journey that we are on is so rough and rugged taking it alone would be a disaster! God brought all of you into my life and I am so very thankful. I enjoy the Chat it has been so helpful. I am so excited to finally meet some of you in September. I can hardly wait. Then I am building my courage (I am afraid of flying) for the UK trip! If only you all realized how much you have come to mean to me and my sanity!

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”

Love to you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Nancy

 

 

 

 

I just wanted to say how thankful I am for this group. I feel safe here. I do not feel judged for being so sad for an infant, I have received so much understanding and so many of you all have visited my sweet Daphne's site. I also wanted to thank you Judie so much for Daphne's graphic it is absolutely beautiful you are an amazing person and I know Craig sure is proud. And for anyone that I have chated with on the Angel chat you will be happy to know that we are getting cable modem for our pc next tuesday :) NO more getting knocked off. Again thank you all and God Bless !

The death of our son Maurice has shattered our family's heart. I've seen our Pastor and 3 counselors. Like one counselor told me to my face. She can talk to me about it, but she will never understand what I'm going through because she has never loss a child. I would rather talk to an Angel Family member than any counselor, as well as they mean, thay will never understand the pain and hurt this father feels everyday. I'm grateful that I found Angel Families. I'm so loss, I can't even recall how I was led to the Angel Family. Such caring people even though out their own struggles.

No words can even express the thanks I want to acknowledge to the memory of.com family. June 13 was Sean's birthday and because of all the effort and support I rec'd from his candles and tributes I actually made it thru the day with much less pain than I was anticipating. God blessed me with this family of people who know what it's all about. If I could reach my butt I would kick it as at one time I almost lost contact, but now I see it was the incrediable loss that I could not cope. I was in awe at all the candles and tributes and thought how do these people do all this. I think about each of you everyday even if I'm slow at lighting candles. Again, Thank You. I love you all.

To all the angel families,i have appreaciated your kindness & words so much. I may not always write, but you all are in my mind. So when i cannot see my way ,i still know i am not alone. You all are such loving & kind people.We all have that common bond,that cannot be explained to anyone else. Time takes away nothing.IN life we loved them dearly,in death we do the same.Sometimes when i am at one of my lowest paths,ill look at Bbriana's site and one of you will have lit a candle & left me a kind word. I will admit,lately,i have been at the breaking point.I ask God to have mercy on me. As a nurse of 31yrs. death & dying was my daily task.Never did i know it was this deep darkest valley. I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU. MORAVIA LYNN SOLTIS, BRIANA LYNN SOLTIS GRAMSEY BYE FOR NOW. MORAVIA642@AOL.COM

I would just like to say Thank You to everyone that lit candles and sent me Christmas cards. I was not up to sending any out, I know you all understand. Maybe next year. It was a really tough week for me, Anthony's birthday was on the 22nd, when he was born I brought him home Xmas morning from the hospital. So it was a double whammy for me. It's nice to know others care. It made me happy every day going to the post office and seeing a card for me. I appreciate it.

Thanks again Love Pat Holden
