thinking of you ROD / Cathy Morey (Aunt) THINKING OF YOU Barb and Dawson,LOVE YOU ALWAYS ROD
Forget me not! / MOM &. Dad (parents)
Please Forget Me Not
I’m sorry I had to leave so soon I leave you with this thought I loved you so despite my gloom Please forget me not
I’m sorry I simply lost all hope My mind was overwrought I’m sorry I simply could not cope Please forget me not
I would have preferred to stay But my pain would not stop I wish there had been another way Please forget me not
I know it’s really hard to understand The despair that finally brought Me to end my life by my own hand Please forget me not
I’m so thankful that I had all of you For the loving ways I was taught They had nothing to do with my being blue Please forget me not
I lost my ability to change things And had let myself get caught By only the negative things life brings Please forget me not
I’m sorry I didn’t stay to grow old I really tried, I really fought Hopelessness, pain and despair untold Please forget me not
I went to sleep forever just as you awoke Inflicting a grim onslaught Of pain on you, that I cannot revoke Please forget me not
So please hear my heartfelt loving plea Accept my apology for sorrow fraught From your disbelief and your missing me Please forget me not
I wish you peace from all your grief And I know you cry a lot But I’m now at peace and have relief Please forget me not
I love you so and ask that you forgive My leaving, and please dread-naught For your memories of me forever live Please forget me not
Be happy; enjoy your remaining time Take your sorrow and let it drop Into the healing places of your mind Please forget me not.
PLEASE FORGET HIM NOT
All is Well / Daphne Burt (Friend of Rodney's Mom ) Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you whatever we were to each other that we still are
Call me by my old familiar name speak to me in the easy way which you always used put no difference in your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant it is the same as it ever was there is unbroken continuity why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you somewhere very near just around the corner All is well
Warm Thoughts For Spring / Deborah Giles (Friend) As I look forward to the warmth of spring, I am having warm memories of all my friends and past times. Spring always makes me think of London, probably because it comes so early there. London always makes me think of Rod. Warm place..warm heart. My heart still aches when I think of Rod but it is filled with warmth with his memories also.
Easter Memories / Eugene Giles (Pal) Had some fun doing Deb's hunt. Sure had great times together and I think about you alot. Wish you could visit us here. You would have loved it.
Rainbow/ Mom (parents) AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW
Not many things in life are sure, But one thing I know is true. That when my days on earth are done, I'll catch a glimpse of you. I'll touch your hand --- I'll see your smile, and nothing can go wrong. When I hear you say again ---- "Mom, what took you so long?"
We still think of you. / Hope &. Lew Rowsell Barb, Dawson & Family,
I've always had good intentions of visiting your website but, for some reason, never did take the time. Well, I did today, and it is just awesome! Sometimes I had difficulty reading through the tears. It was just so touching.
You are still in our thoughts and prayers. Keep looking up.....'The rose still grows beyond the wall'.
Take care & God bless.
Your Friends, Hope & Lew
Heavy Hearts / Deborah&Eugene Giles (friends) Barb,Dawson and Rhonda: This is beautiful site and a wonderful tribute to our Rod. We still find it hard to believe that he is gone. When we remember that we will never talk to him again and he will never play Deborah songs on his guitar (over the Phone) again, it seems impossible. There is a space in our hearts that only Rod can own. It will be forever empty until we are joined again in heaven. We pray that Deborah's little sister, Sharon, is with him and they are waiting for us. Rod was always good for little sisters! It is good for you to see how much Rod meant to so many. He touched many lives and the world is a better place for him having been here. Bless you all, Deborah and Eugen
Me too / Jeanne Mitchell-Kelley (Also lost Son-Suicide ) Losing your child to suicide is something no one ever prepares for. We never dreamed of our son leaving to go Home before us unless it was something out of their control like an accident. They left because the desire to go Home was greater than their desire to remain here where the pain hurt so very much day after day. I never dreamed that I would lose five members of my family to suicide and only my own visits to Home when I was so severely injured, during my NDE's have kept me here. I know that we have to do things to help educate and help those who have not had to "dream" this horrible nightmare yet. -Jeanne Mitchell-Kelley

I HEARD THE ANGELS SAY... / Maria Boone (Elijah's Mommy )
I thought I saw your face today, in the sparkle of the morning sun. And then I heard the angel say, "Their work on earth is done."
I thought I heard your voice today, then laugh your hearty laugh. And then I heard the angel say, "There's peace dear one at last."
I thought I felt your touch today, in the breeze that rustled by. And then I heard the angel say, "The spirit never dies."
I thought I saw my broken heart, in the crescent of the moon. And then I heard the angel say, "The Lord is coming soon."
I thought that you had left me, for the stars so far above. And then I heard the angel say, "They left you with their love."
I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way. And then I heard the angel say, "They're with you every day." "The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars, will forever be around, reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace they've finally found
WE REMEMBER THEM... / Maria Boone (Elijah's Mommy )
From the Gates of Repentance New Union Prayer Book for the Days of Awe Author Unknown
At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them.
At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share, We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make, We remember them
When we have achievements that are based on theirs, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too shall live, for they are a part of us, as we remember them.
