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.
easter/ Deborah Giles (freind) Thinking of you this lenten season. I pray our Lord keeps your soul and you are enjoying heavenly eternity. All this time and my heart still aches. I loved you and love you still.
in memory / Deborah Giles (friend) today is always a sad day. we miss you and wish you were still with us. may your soul have peace and may God be smiling at you. we love you, Rod, and treasure the memories that will always be with us.
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.
December Memories / Deborah Giles (Friend)
I remember how much Rod wanted to be home for your 25th. He felt very bad that finances kept him in Ontario but he was so excited when he got the pictures. We shared a warm, loving evening in London, in front of the fireplace, laughing and enjoying the vista of a wonderful anniversary celebration that the pictures brought to us...Know that you were special parents and loved by your son very much.
Happy Birthday Son / Mom &. Dad (parents) This year has passed so quickly, That the pain won't go away. Although we cannot see you, You're in our thoughts each day. You will never be forgotten, So we will never be apart, There will always be a place for you, Within our broken hearts. It's been two years, and nine months since you passed away, we can never forget that day, It was so sudden without warning, Two years and nine months, and we're still mourning.
As another year is past, A silent tear is shed, We miss you still, And always will.
November Thoughts / Deborah Giles (Ontario mom ) By now, Rod would be hinting about a big day on the 15th. Gifts werent important to him but he didnt mind if you made a big fuss! He usually wanted a Newfie cooked dinner for his bday meal as it brought him warm thoughts of home and family. I dont think I ever managed a cooked dinner as good as his mom's but I tried!
Our Son / Mom &. Dad (parents) Rodney, how tragic your death was for us. We're sorry we missed your signs, why didn’t we see? How sad that you felt so helpless and blue. Your pain overwhelming that so consumed you. How alone you did feel on that tragic day. Left feeling so hopeless, with nothing to say We miss you so badly,our hearts do they ache. So deeply it feels like it surely will break It seems so unreal that it feels like a nightmare or play. That you’ve gone on a trip and will return on some day. Though we know you have died,we want you back here with us, forever to stay How sadly we feel that you are no longer here. We won’t get to see you until we die and are there.
October Memories / Deborah Giles (Friend) At this time of year, Rod would go with me to pick out pumpkins for he and Eugene to carve. He was very particular and would examine every pumpkin in the farmer's yard for the perfect shape. His favourite carving was a haunted house but I loved his rendition of Garfield the cat! Warm memories are a gift from God.
