Happy Birthday / Deborah Giles (Friend) Another birthday. I take this special day to remember with love a very special guy. I hold my memories close and hug you close to my spirit. When I look up at the stars tonight I will see them as heavenly birthday candles.
THey think we're fine! / Mom &. Dad (parents) They think We're fine and over it Accepted that you died But we live life with all this pain And countless tears we've cried
We are forced to live with endless pain That others can't accept They think we're fine and over it Or that We'll soon forget
We want to scream from roof tops Or silently just cry We never will be over it My God our child died!
It makes no sense to argue Our energy is low So when they think We're over it We simply tell them No
We've become what they have wanted A turtle in it's shell Just keep our thoughts within ourselves And never ever tell
We mask our life to others To ourselves as well For living every day on Earth Is surely more like Hell
Simply put We won't get over it Not better...stronger. .. fine It is only that We've had no choice... To live this life of ours.
Father's Day / Eugene Giles (friend) This is our day for steaks on the BBQ....and maybe a few beers. Good times. Miss you all the time but special days bring special memories.
Mother's Day / Eugene Giles (friend)
Hey buddie,
Could have used you around today. You used to remind me to get a card or birng home supper or Tim's or something. Well, I forgot. We talk about you alot and miss you alot too.
OUR MEMORIES / Mom &. Dad (Parents) We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds. The days we do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.
There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear. But always a precious memory of the days when you were here. If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane, We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again. We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again. Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
bday/ Eugene Giles Happy Birthday, buddy. Miss you.

spring/ Deborah Giles (close as close can get )
Hello my Angel,
Your Eugene is on his trip south now. Watch over him as he watched over you when were with us. Give him your protection. You are with God. God is in you.

Merry Christmas / Deborah Giles (friend) My memories of you at Christmas..where to start. The biggest kid of all were you. I treat each Christmas memory as a gift from you to hold and reflect on. You are missed all thru the year but, perhaps, at Christmas most of all.
Happy Birthday! / Mom &. Dad (parents) For Rodney Happy birthday dearest Rod We miss you more than you could know. We can never lose the bond we've had, Though we've had to let you go.
We've missed the times we had with you, Like going ski dooing and having a bonfire; And now we're left wondering what we'll do When your birthday comes each year.
Now we celebrate your day With memories that are so dear. Its not been the same since you went away; We still wish that you were here.
You're never far from our hearts; We think of you often, with love. Our lives will forever be torn apart 'Til we see you again, up above.
We love you and miss you so much!
birthday blessings / Debbie Giles (freind) I dont imagine birthdays count in heaven but if they do, I pray you have a great one. birthdays count alot down here and I know you loved a fuss! We remember you today with love and tears. I wish you could be here so we could make a fuss again. We miss you.
Pumpkin Memories / Eugene Giles (Pal) It is impossible for me to think of Halloween without remembering our hours together, in the garage, creating pumpkin designs. I will never create another pumpkin without thinking of you, pal. We had laughs and jokes and alot of fun. Pumpkining will never be the same without you.
If Tommorow starts without me! / Mom &. Dad (parents)
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you". Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
Missing You / Debbie Giles (Friend)
I have had alot of time lately to spend thinking and I have found myself thinking of you. Oh Rod, I miss you so. I loved the chats we used to have about nothing and about everything. You listened to me and I listened to you. I pray that as an angel you are still listening.
St Patrick's Day Thoughts / Deborah And Eugene Giles (Friend) A fun-loving spirit that was you. Mischievious as a lepruchan when the mood hit you. You lifted me up when I was down and shared my joy when I was happy.
February memories / Deborah Giles (Friend) The cold arctic winters bring memories of warm London winters. On stormy nights we would have a lively fire going and we would all sit around the living room and play cards, RISK or just talk. Even when Rod had got his own place, he would drop over a couple of times a week. I remember the warmth of that room and the comradeship shared with the people who came there. It was a good time.
our child / Mom &. Dad (parents) Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing the tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending he didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that he has been missed.
You asked me how I was doing, I say "pretty good" or "fine." But healing is something ongoing. I feel it will take a lifetime.
