May you rest peacefully for the rest of eternity and live on forever in the hearts and memories of the people who loved you.~~Nikki Coan, Louisville, Ky.
Jeff, Thanks for your friendship. Friendships like yours isn't a big thing--it's a million little things. Thanks again for all the little things you did for me.I will never forget you and your kindness.~~C.C.
Your Garden.--After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.--And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept defects with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the strength of a man not the grief of a child.--And you learn to build all of your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans. And futures have a way of falling down in midflight. And after awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. so plant your garden and decorate your soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.--And you learn that you can endure, that you are really strong. And you really do have worth. and you learn and you learn, with every goodbye, you learn.
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks ?--The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.--The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.--When the storms of life come upon us--and all of us will experience them--we can rise above them by setting our minds and our beliefs toward GOd. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow GOD'S power to lift us above them.
Beautiful memories are wonderful things, they last till the longest day, they never wear out, never get lost, and can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten, to others part of the past, but to those who loved you your memory will always last.
Think of me as one at rest, for me you should not weep. I have no cares, no troubled thoughts, for now I am asleep.--The living breathing me that was, is now forever still, and time goes on without me as time forever will.--Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, and those of you who loved me, I thank most of all.--It matters not if time began or if time will ever cease. I was here, I used it all and now I am at peace.
The Sailor Poem....I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others failed to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness....should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped....but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was....A Sailor.
There beside a grave she stands a folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face,her brave young child has entered grace. She does
not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call, and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of Freedom and little else. The bugle plays TAPS in the wind, a mournful song it does send. A reminder to us all, that for Freedom this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.

Thank you Steven for making the ultimate sacrafice for this country that so many take for granted. Many will make sure to let William & Zoe know the kind of man there father was, and how brave you were. Happy Memorial Day.-N

Tears without end. Days without night. Nights without day. Food without taste. Sleep without rest.Sorrow without comfort. Pain without limit. Emptiness without bottom. Life without Josh.
