With the New Year and Christmas just behind us many of us have spent a moment or two thinking about the people who could not be with us on these special occasions and others like them.

The Nameless One has suggested a rememberance thread, a place where we can post about the people we miss and who have passed on. And we decided it was a sweet idea.

So... Still Crazy, you were the inspiration for this thread. It's only fair that you get the first mention. Miss you Sean

And I remember Tom, I miss you Tom. To briefly I new you, although I don't think there ever would have been enough time.


Please feel free to post for those people who you miss.

what a lovely idea...

well, as im going into the next stage of my life, (being University) i feel a tad upset that my friend Alice who passed away 5 years ago isnt here to experience the things that have happened since she died...not very HUGE things, but just the little occasions you remember sharing with friends that are always a bit sad because you wish she was there...and the whole going to uni thing as well...i often wonder what she would hae studied or what not....but yeh...i miss you Alice

I also miss my Dad more and more recently with things being a tad rocky at home ive found myself wanting to speak to him and hear him laugh, and have him make me laugh, it was aways that little extra support i got listening to how his life was going on, half way around the world, that helped me get by...although Aztec now has the same effect, minus the round the world thing, i still wish i could have my Daddy back!

A note to remember Stephen who died Christmas Eve 2005, your friends and family miss you (and wish you'd left a will), but we understand you couldn't hold on anymore. Rest peacefully.

Also Martin who died tragically 2002, far too young. We all miss you, we all regret everything we ignored and didn't see when you were alive and we all hope you're happier where you are now.

Aww hunnie...what a fantastic idea...will post in here soon.

This is for Nhi. She died in December 1998. She was only 14. I only knew you for a short time, but I miss ya, even after all this time. Rest in Peace, sweetie.

This is in memory of my dad, who passed away almost 25 yrs. ago when I was only 14, I miss him terribly to this day. Also in memory of my friend, Tressia, who was like another mom to me, she has been gone for almost 6 yrs. now. She took with her a large piece of my heart and I'll never be the same.

Its Dads 40th today...

HAPPY 40th BIRFDEE DAD!!
you so much and i wish i could be having a big party with you right now

I miss MOE.

Where lie you Moe? Come rest your weary head in my bosom - Your journey has been long and is only just beggining. Remember; You've got to catch 'em all.

found out today my friend joe died. brain tumour, 39 yrs old, has left a wife and 2 small kids.
i've been talking to other friends, the funeral is tomorrow, and i'm sure we'll reminisce about joe, but i just needed to write something, somewhere, and although none of you new him, this seems as good a place as any.
i'm gonna miss joe, over the past few months he wasn't quite himself, but he was still here, he still came over and played poker. he was still a laugh, and i enjoyed his company always, and thoroughly.
he had the kindest soul of any person i met, and i'm not just saying that because he's gone now, a man i wish the rest of the world could have met.
and it will be a little darker knowing i won't bump into joe, and share a moment with him anymore.
good friend to all who knew him, good father, husband, kind soul.
take care joe

........huh......just doesn't seem enough

This is to my grand-father, Robert Davis Kilby aka Papa. When he died a little before March in the year 2001, school was halfway over, when the guidance counselor told me to get my stuff to go home. At first, I was thinking, yippee; I'm going home! But then I saw my pastor and my mom waiting outside... Mom was crying, and Revered Jeff looked very forlorn and grave. I asked what was wrong, and Mom said that Papa had passed away.

I remember just looking at the two and saying "You're joking, right?" I couldn't believe that my grand-father, whom I adored greatly, had passed away earlier that morning from a heart attack.

We drove down to Key Largo where my grandmother and grandfather lived. I remember how I had my GameBoy in the car, and that I named my Pokemon after each member in our family, my favorite, Blastoise, being named after Papa.

I was about 8 at the time and my little brother 3, so of course we had no idea of what was really going on. When we arrived at their condominuim, many of our relatives were there, and I showed my Aunt Marcy how I named my Pokemon after all of my relatives. All she could do was smile weakly and ask me not to dwell on such things and to go watch television... I went into one of the rooms, and I think it was there that it hit me- Whoa, he's gone.

R.I.P 10/07/06, lost but never forgotten

I miss stillcrazy. It's been 6 months old friend and I miss you.

For my uncle who died before his daughter went to college. Victim of a robbery in India.

There are only two people I really miss. The first is my mom. It's been 19 years now. Wow.

The second is my ex-wife Violetta. She is alive, but I miss her terribly. When I stop and thing about the five second periods of time in my life where one small change would have such a profound effect on the rest of my life. It's been a long time since I have written her name. We have been apart for 2 1/2 years now, and it still hurts like hell.

my grandfather, rest in peace...

Bacca berri , we miss you girl we know you gotta work though, Hope you come back soon.

On Saturday I will go for a meal with my sister to celebrate my fathers 70th birthday which was on the 4th April. Sadly my father won't be there. The years of heavy smoking caught up with him and he died of lung cancer in October. I don't often regret being a non-believer but on Saturday I will be envious of my sisters belief that he will be with us in spirit.

In memory of Lincoln, who was only 16 and killed in a car wreck in January. Spanish class is just weird without you.

In memory of Christopher....gone, but never forgotten.

In memory of T, D and M...I miss you. We'll see each other again.


Jason - I'm sorry. I hope you found peace. RIP

excellent thread.next month {june 29th}marks the 25th anniversary of the deaths of my mom and sister.their lives were taken way too soon.they are loved and missed every single day.

This is a great thread.

This is in loving memory of my mom who passed away 05/29/99.
We miss you more everyday.

I am sorry to hear about your mother Kryso, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

What Dot said.

Thank you, to both of you. Im not around much at the mo, have lots to sort out. But will be back to normal soo, I hope.

I am really sorry to hear about your Mother sweety. Sending you and your family my deepest condolences. You have my number if you ever need to talk.

Take care of yourself. Hugs, Lottie x

In loving memory of my sis. Passed away at age 17. It has been a very difficult 9 years. Your patience, sincerity and selflessness are greatly missed. I lost my guiding light when I lost you.


Me & sis circa 1986

To my Uncle Billy, it's been a year now but feels so much longer. We all miss you. Hope you are finally at peace. xx

My grandpa who died when I was still very young.

my Dear Georgia Love of my life, the short time we spent together was the best years of my life, think of you every day. passed away 17/5/2000
still getting your signs send more.

lost love is terrible, my condolences...

To Katie, we miss you so much princess! We wish that you were still with us, but hopefully were you are you don't hurt anymore. You were such an angel, always smiling and laughing. You died far to young, but heaven needs angels just like you. Katie, just your memory brings strengh to Izzy, you were such an inspiration to everyone. We'll never forget you.

To Megan, i can't believe its been 5 years since we lost you. I miss the holidays we used to go on together and all the hours we spent talking on the phone. I can remember us planning what we were going to do when we went to secondary school. And now, your never going to get that chance. Megan, i can never forget you. Someone asked me who my best friend was a few days ago and i still said you. Because your gone, but not forgotten.

And to our TT angels.

Courtney, you left so suddenly, none of us could believe that i had really happened. One minute you were posting on the boards and the next you were gone. None of us will ever foget you, Courtney.

And Mary, you were so strong. We all were inspired by you. You were ready to go and i think thats helped Kate. She knew your suffering would be over if you ended the fight. Mary, you were such an inspiration. We can never forget you.

To my ex boyfriend and very good friend Clive Delport, died on 2nd April 2006 going into Durban harbour; with Nola - another excellent friend of ours: The two of you will be missed - we think about you every day and Clive, know that this world is bleaker without your special kindness.

Clive was an alcoholic but was kind and gentle to everyone he met, never hesitating to help where he could. He was a mechanic and fixed cars for everyone, hardly ever took payment, even though he was virtually penniless. A lot of people mocked him and thought him a weak drunkard but actually I feel the world was too cruel for a heart as pure as his.

Will never forget you, brother.

And Nola, you were way too young to die babe, never looked ONE of your 53 years, a lovely warm woman and kind to me and my daughter, always.

Excellent thread this. Thanks for the space.

Clive Delport 1957-2006
Nola Werner 1953 - 2006

Once again, my sincerest condolences.

To my very good friend Steffi who yesterday was freed from her suffering.


I truly hope that you are resting in the bosom of your God and I will see you soon my friend.

Goodbye.

No finer person ever graced this earth.

How appropriate (and sad) that this thread is started again with the major holidays right around the corner. This was a lovely idea. Want to start off this fall season by acknowledging the missing of my husband, Dan. Killed at 36, left me and his then 9 year old daughter. Still miss you and love you even after almost 11 years.

To Mae Agnes Elizabeth Stewart, my Mom who passed away after four years of fighting Cervix Cancer. After all these years, I still miss thee. They light shall always shine in the night. RIP- August 1985.

To Rebecca, the first girl in Grade Five who didn't mind hanging out with a slightly geeky boy (me). What would you have accomplished with your smile and your quiet nature if the Fates hadn't cut your Thread of Life? RIP- 1987.

To George, my cat of 15 years. I still wake up some nights thinking I can feel you curled up in the crook of my arm. When I get the desire to have a cat, it's you I miss. RIP- 1999.

To the Soldiers of the Canadian Forces- Past, Present, and Future that pay the Ultimate Price for the freedom we have. Lest We Forget.

To Peter (2001), hope you are up there buddy.
Miss you stacks, you shouldn't have done what you done, but I still love you to bits.

Loss is something so sad but its nice to see a thread were people can come and Remember their loved ones for who they were as a person. Only this year i lost one of my teachers it was very sad for me and took me a few weeks for myself and also the rest of my class to get over it. I was watching the news one morning and her picture was suddenly shown and the news reader said that she had been murdered at the weekend. It was such a sad moment and a bad start to a Monday morning http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4729480.stm When i went to school that morning we were told the news again it was quite upsetting.

Mrs. Howarth 1978 - 2006 May she Rest in Peace.

Sam.

I miss you Gerry.

I will miss Burnside: Link

I came across Sean's (StillCrazy) profile yesterday and it's just so sad, even now, that he won't ever pop back on the forum again.

To a brave and courageous friend, miss you sweety! x

Miss you Grandma! Every day!

In memory of my mother-in-law/great friend Mabs, who died a year ago this month aged 49.

Miss you every day mabs.

In Loving Memory.... Gramp John Bui... died November 3rd, 2006.....http://obits.courierpress.com/CourierPress/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=19868495



Grandpa,

Thanksyou for raising me when my parents sent me away. You were like a father since mine I did not speak to dad. I can easily say that I would be in prison if it were not for you. Thanks for my first fishing trip, trip for my first football game, thanks for treating to the 89 superbowl. Thanks for making me the man I am today, and thank you for talking me out of retaliation against the guy the shot me. You were right, things happen and at least I survived the gunshot wound to the chest.

When Hurrican Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and you went missing from New Orleans, not knowing your whereabouts, my heart went heavy thinking you were dead. For two weeks, I volunteered at numerous evacuees shelters the flooding into Houston, Texas to try to locate you. I thought you were dead, and nothing I could do, because of the closing of New Orleans, Louisiana, I could not drive back and take action to try to search for you. When I did here from you, everything was better knowing my gramps was okay.

Then only a year later, I got more bad news of your health.

In November, when I got news that you were in ICU, I held my faith, thinking you would be okay, and that the simple surgery that was scheduled to be performed on was nothing of great concern. But within a day later, they canceled your surgery because of a discovery of the hole in your heart. Even down to the last day, you were full of life, and the nurse even had to tell you to keep it down because you were watching out Indianapolis Colts win. Then, in a matter of a day or so, the doctor told us that you were not going to make it and going into the hospice. I'm glad that you didn't stay there long, and you left us within a few hours after.

Grandpa, I love you old man and wish you were hear... you are still the only person that I could have depended om to listen to my goods and bads without judging me.

We finally made it to the SuperBowl grampa!

I'll see you when the time comes Gramps.
