I send you each a special gift from my Heavenly Home above; " My Undying Love! " After all, " Love" is the gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | The measure of a man....Not: ' How did he die?" but " How did he live ?".....Not : "What did he gain ?" but "What did he give ?".....Not : ' What was his shrine ?' Nor " What was his creed ?" But " Had he befriended those really in need ?".....Not: " What did the piece in the paper say ? But " How many people were sorry that he passed away ?" " Was he ever ready with a word or good cheer, to bring back a smile, or to banish a tear.".....These are the units to measure the warmth of a man as a man, regardless of birth.~~George Kessler--U.S. Navy Retired--Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | In Memory of Dave a wonderful and kind man...I quiver, I shiver. They tell me the news. I wonder why he chose you. I walk the streets remembering you. No matter what they say, it is till the same. Only you could fill the void. I know you're okay and feel no pain, but with each passing day, I say a prayer asking GOD to take care of you---Dave was a wonderful friend that I could tell anything and everything. I'm sure gonna miss him.--S. Smith

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | Don't stand by my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of bird's in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | I am wearing a pair of shoes. They are ugly shoes.Uncomfortable shoes. I hate my shoes. Each day I wear them , and each day I wish I had another pair. Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think that I can take another step. Yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks wearing these shoes. They are looks of sympathy. I can tell in other's eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs. They never talk about my shoes. To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable. To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them. But , once you put them on, you can never take them off. I now realize I am not the only one who wears these shoes. There are many pairs in this world. Some people are like me and ache daily as they try to walk in them. Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't walk so much. Some have worn the shoes so long that day's will go by before they think about how much they hurt. No mother deserves to wear these shoes. Yet, because of these shoes I am a stonger person. These shoes have given me strength to face anything. They have made me who I am. I will forever walk in the shoes of a mother who has lost their child.~~My heart goes out to you. I also walk in your shoes~~ May GOD hold you tightly in his loving embrace tonight and every single night for the rest of your life.~~Cordie Griffin Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | Grief like the ocean, comes in waves only to recede and come yet again. But with it comes healing. Memories wash ashore and are bathed by the golden sun. Grab hold of these memories and let them fill the emptiness and bring you peace.~~Jim Carson ( U.S. Navy Retired WWII Veteran) Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on Apr 02, 2008 | | | | Empty Boots...Dog tags over boots laced up, a bayonet stabs the ground. Kevlar perched on a 16 butt, fellow soldiers gather around.....Warriors in their battle gear, weapons at their side. Bow their heads as words are said, to honor one who died....An American hero gave his life defending liberty. The price he paid was gladly done, for country and family.....Those empty boots do not support a body or soul. No more they'll run for cover or some loved one dear to hold.....As one by one, soldiers pass, this tribute to their own. Thoughts fly to their families across the foam....Now salute as TAPS is played, blink tears out of eyes. The ache you feel inside your heart is Freedom's painful price......William E. Meyer U.S. Army Sgt. Retired, Louisville Ky.
