A MOTHER'S LOVE is like an island In life's ocean vast and wide, A peaceful, quiet shelter From the restless, rising tide ...
A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a fortress And we seek protection there When the waves of tribulation Seem to drown us in despair ...
A MOTHER'S LOVE'S a sanctuary Where our souls can find sweet rest From the struggle and the tension Of life's fast and futile quest ...
A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a tower Rising far above the crowd, And her smile is like the sunshine Breaking through a threatening cloud ...
A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a beacon Burning bright with FAITH and PRAYER, And through the changing scenes of life We can find a HAVEN THERE ...
For a MOTHER'S LOVE is fashioned After God's enduring love, It is endless and unfailing Like the love of HIM above ...
For God knew in HIS great wisdom That HE couldn't be EVERYWHERE So HE put HIS LITTLE CHILDREN In a LOVING MOTHER'S CARE.
Happy Valentine's Day! / Wm. Scott &. Samantha Myers
JOHN, YOU TRULY CAPTURED MY HEART~HANDSOME♥ / CATHY~MOM OF DAVID GIRAUD
I love you big brother / Stormy Ermatinger (Sister) I know your with me...I just wanted to let you know that I know...sometimes when I'm by myself, the only person in the room...the air shifts...I swear I can smell you, feel you beside me. I know the people I hang out with and know...they don't understand...the pain...but people on here do and our family does... I just don't talk about it...not because I don't want to. Its just...I can't find words to explain the depth of love, pride, and pain I feel...I want you hear by my side...but I know one day we'll meet again and I know when that day comes, we'll be a family once more...
Your Little Sister,
Stormy Lea

THINKING OF YOU FOR 2009~♥~ / CATHY~MOM OF DAVID GIRAUD (ANOTHER GRIEVING MOM )
"It's the end of another year and so many thoughts go swirling through our minds. For many, it has been a difficult year - job loss, loss of friends, loss of a home, loss of health, and possibly one of the most lasting losses of all - the loss of a child. For some there will be no celebration at the end of the year - only a lot of tears for those dreams that were stolen away so unexpectedly. How does a person move on? How can a person move into the New Year with joy when so much sorrow surrounds the heart? It's not easy, but it helps to remind yourself often that you are never, ever alone in your pain. There are times when we feel alone, but the truth is that we are surrounded by hope and it is there for us whenever we call out for help. Look at nature in any season and be reminded of the One who is in charge. Look at the majesty of the starry sky at night and know that you are counted among the stars. Listen to the sounds of the wind rustling through the trees and hear the whisper of God letting you know He is by your side. Look for the rainbow painting the sky and be assured that you have not been forgotten. Remind yourself often that hope is stronger than your pain! "-C. Hinton

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright As we look to the heavens on this very night. Beyond the stars, your dear John soars Embraced by his Saviour on heaven's shores. As the angels protect him and sing his sweet name We honour his life with the glow of this flame. So we light this candle for your John tonight As a symbol of our love and his eternal life.

memories from a classmate from long long ago... / Lycrecia Goodson (class mate/friend from long long ago ) My condolences go out to John's family and friends. I think it is wonderful that he is honored and loved and remembered by so many on this site. I hope it is OK for me to share my memories of John here... I had not seen John since we were young kids, yet it makes me very sad to know that he is no longer here. John was the first boy I ever liked. I remember us being in kindergarten together and he kissed me and asked me to marry him. I am not sure why I am sharing this. I just wanted his family to know that he impacted my life and I knew he was special the first time I saw him. My family moved so that we were not in school together anymore and then we moved to NC, so I lost touch... It probably sounds silly, but I thought about him a lot over the years and wondered how he was. When I searched his name tonight and found this it really made me sad. I saw the school picture of our class from 1981 and it made me laugh and cry. I can't imagine the pain you all feel, but I am so proud that you honor him this way. Sending love and hugs to all that loved John... Lycrecia
