As I sit here safe in Heaven....  / Dear Loved Ones (Me)

As I sit here safe in Heaven and watch you every day,

I try to let you know with signs, I never went away.

I hear you when your laughing and watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you as you weep.

I see you wish the days away as you beg to have me home. So, I try to send you messages that you are not alone. Don't feel guilty that you have a life that was denied me. Oh, Heaven is beautiful just you wait and see. Please live your life and laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free. Then I'll know with every breath you take...you are taking one for me.

Miss you  / Pam Gaspers (mother)

A picture is worth a thousand words.....  / Dedicated In Memory Of Kevin. With His Loved Ones In Mind. (He is misesed more with each passing day. )

I know that a picture is worth a thousand words and  I must have said a million lately as I stare into your picture. All I wish for and hope and dream about is hearing your voice, feeling your touch ( Your wonderful HUGS) and seeing your beautiful smile. I have shed a million tears these last 366 days and I can't seem to stop them. I miss you terribly and have a hard time to go on, everyday is a challenge. I love you with all of my heart and I want to turn back time so that I could let you stay with me always.

Remember me.....  / My Beloved Family And Friends I. Will Always Remember You. (i hope you will also remember me. )

Remember me in quiet days

while raindrops whisper on your pain.

But in your memories have no grief,

let just the joy we knew remain.

Remember me when the evening stars

look down on you in steadfast eyes.

Remember me if once you awake

to catch a glimpse of a red sunrise.

And when your thoughts do turn to me,

know that I would not have you cry.

But live for me and laugh for me,

when you are happy, so am I.

Remember an old joke we shared;

Remember when Spring walks by.

Think of me when you are glad

and while you live, I shall not die.

Old photographs.  / Mary Morgan (Friend)

I look through old photographs

and see your beautiful smile.

My heart is filled with your love

and warmth, if just for awhile.

In my pocket.  / You Are Thought Of Daily. And Missed Tremendously. (Friends from grade school. )

I have memories in my pocket.

They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures

I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces,

parts of a beautiful whole.

They give me peace and  comfort when I think

I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket,

like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have,

it's the memories of you

that are the most precious.

Happy Belated Birththday.

It is so difficult to think of you as gone.

I learned from you....  / Dearest Kevin I. Learned So Many Things From You. (I will always be grateful. )

I learned about love from you,

watching your caring ways.

I learned about joy from you

in fun-filled yesterdays.

From you I learned forgiving

of faults big and small.

I learned what I know about living

from you, as you gave life your all.

The example you set is still with me,

I'd  never want any other.

I'm thankful for all that you taught me,

and I'm blessed to call you my friend

who is like no other.

I will never find another

person with your kindness,

compassion and love

in my lifetime.

I am grateful GOD gave me

the opportunity to have known you.

Until we meet again I will be sad and blue.

I have never had a friend who was as kind and true.

Remember. / Lessons I. Learned From My Family (and friends. )

Remember, spend some time with loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only tresaure that you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say " I Love You" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend HURT when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish moments, for some day, that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Remember that I will always chersih and love you for eternity.Thanks again for teaching me the true meaning of life. I love you all. All my love and devotion. Kevin

When you thought I wasn't looking.......  / Mom And Dad Grandma And Grandpa (Lessons you taught me. )

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you hang my first painting

on the refrigerator;

and I immediately wanted to paint another.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you feed a stray cat,

and I learned it was good to be

kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you make my favorite cake

for me,

and I learned that the little things

can be special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I heard you say a prayer,

and I knew there is a GOD I could

talk to and I learned to trust in GOD.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you make a meal and take it

to a friend who was sick,

and I learned that we all have to help

take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you give of your time and money

to help people who had nothing

and I learned that those who have something

should give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I felt you kiss me good night

and I felt loved and safe.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you take care of our house

and everyone in it,

and I learned we have to take care

of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you handled your responsibilities

even when you didn't feel good,

and I learned that I would have to be

responsible when I grew up.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw tears come from your eyes

and I learned sometimes things hurt,

but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I learned that most of life's lessons

that I needed to be a good and productive

person when I grew up.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I looked at you and wanted to say,

" Thanks for all the things I saw

when you thought I wasn't looking."

I will always love you and be grateful for all that you taught me. Because of you, I became a person that you could respect and be proud of. Thanks again and all of my love. Kevin

A Pocketful of Sympathy.  / Friends From Nebraska (you were a wonderful and kind person )

A pocketful of sympathy

is really rather wonderful

to stop a scratch from stinging

or a bruise from black and bluing.

A pocketful of sympathy

can stop a heart from hurting

or catch a tear from falling

like a raindrop down a cheek.

A pocketful of sympathy

costs absolutely nothing

It's the cheapest kind of plaster

you'll ever find

And a pocketful of sympathy

is like Kevin's love and kindness

because the more you give it away

the more you leave it behind.

Only GOD keeps you going......  / Tammy Cornett (none)

Happiness keeps you sweet,

Success keeps you glowing,

But only GOD keeps you going !
