When the darkness of the evening crowds away the sun's last rays and you lift your eyes to Heaven, you may see a brand new blaze. It's brilliant and it's lovely, and it's shining just for you, lit to welcome someone new. Though your days may seem much longer since he had to cross that line, if you lift your eyes to Heaven, you will see that he still shines. It's just a soft reminder that although he is gone, as long as you let love grow, his light shines on. And though you want him in your arms, he's as safe as can be, for he is in the arms of angels and most perfect company. And even in the morning, stars are not lost in the light of day, your loved one is shining, and not so far away.~~Stevie Meyer Coan, Louisville, Ky.

Don't think of John as gone away, his journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.~~ Just think of John as resting from sorrow and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years. ~~ Think of how John must be wishing that you could know today, how nothing but sadness can really pass away. ~~ And think of John as living in the hearts of those he touched and he is loved so much.~~ Bill from Ft. Campbell, Ky.

Tattered around the edges, and faded now with time; memories that linger still, are what they left behind. Like a precious package, kept in a secret room; each momemt a treasure, a heirloom.~~ On rare and quiet occasions, the package opens wide, revealing then the memories that nestle inside, faces etched in memories like a photo from the past; each snapshot printed in the heart, and memories that last.~~ Worn and ragged photographs, so faded now with time; yet the lasting love deep in your heart, is what they left behind.~~ Cora Meyer, Louisville, Ky.

Don't bow, don't bend. Don't give up, don't give in.Hold on, just be strong. GOD will step in and it won't be long. After you have gone through the hurt. After you've gone through the pain. After you've gone through the storm. After you've gone through the rain. Prayed and cried, you've prayed and cried. After you've done all you can, you just stand.~~ Deepest and Heart-felt sympathy.~~ Nancy Pace, Louisville, Ky.

My Shoes. 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 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 unerstand 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 millions of pairs in this world. Some people are like me and ache daily as they try to walk in them. Some have learned to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much. Some have worn the shoes so long that day's will go by before they think about how much they hurt. No parent deserves to wear these shoes. Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger person. These shoes have given me the strength to face anything. They have made me who I am. I will forever walk in the shoes of a parent who has lost their child.~~ Norma Meyer Coan, Louisville, Ky.~~ I am so sorry for the loss of such a fine young man. May he rest peacefully forever. And may his family find comfort in warm and wonderful memories.

People try to help me and everyone's so kind. But no one matter what they say to me I always seem to find, I start to get upset again. They can see it in my face, I wonder how they'd handle it if they were in my place. They look at me with sympathy, in a caring sort of way, I thank them and attempt a smile as I walk away. The tears start welling up again, every time it's the same, I simply fall to pieces at the mention of your name.--Submitted with Sgt. Aragon's Family in mind.--

Etched in our memories, to hold and treasure, are experiences we have known, those you gave in your kindness & love to all those you loved, and oh John, we are richer by far to have held you a short moment ( in time) than to never, have held you at all.

Although I may smile and tell you I'm fine, when you ask me how I am since he died. Just take a look at the grief in my eyes and see that I'm crying inside... And if I should say, " That I don't need your help" or make excuses to spend time apart, see that I'm hurting and feel my pain, and know this is breaking my heart. When I laugh and joke and say "I'm okay', as long as you try your best to understand; ignore the mask--it's all an act. Please reach out and take my hand. Sometimes it is easier to say that " I am fine" than admit that my heart is broken. Although on the outside it may seem I'm okay, there is so much that remains unspoken! -- Submitted with John's grieving family in mind.--May GOD hold and comfort you tonight and each night for the rest of your lives.--Angie, Ft. Campbell, Ky.

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. --The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring thestorm.--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 beliefs toward GOD. The storms do not have to overcome us. we can allow GOD's power to lift us above them.--GOD enables us to ride the winds of the storm that brings sickness, tragedy and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storms.--Remember it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.--William E. Meyer, U.S. Army Sgt., from Louisville, Ky.
