Light a Candle for a Loved One




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.

you always knew how to help me I love you


I never thought I would have to live with the pain I do now that you're gone. I miss you so much...I just wish you would have stuck with me in quitting...It's so hard that you're gone, that I'll never wake up in your atms again, never hear your voice, taste your kiss...I miss you baby...so much.


you were an amazing person , you made my life worth while and i love you every minute of every day for it,

I miss you so so much! Your brightness and cheerfulness just made everyones day. You were the prettiest and best person I've ever known. I just wish I could be half as wonderful as you. Everytime I think of you, I can't help but cry. You'll be in everyones hearts forever, and you'll always be remembered as the girl who could lighten everyone else's day even if you couldn't ligthen your own.

I love you, and you'll always be my best kept secret.


I'm so sorry for the way I treated you before. I was wrong. I wanted to make it up to you, but I didn't have the chance. You died that day, I will never forgive myself and I will always love you.


Even though we're related, I didn't know you well, but I do know one of your sons. Sometimes I think how could anyone be so incredibly selfish. You left a husband, 2 sons, and other family members and friends who all loved you dearly and who needed you and still need you. I feel so sorry for Daniel and would probably kill myself if I were going through what he has to go through now, but I know God will see him through. If only it hadn't have been him who found you lieing on the porch with a hole in your head. You will be forever loved and missed.

Alicia you were so young, only 13. I remember seeing you at Jannelle's house everytime I went there...the first time I went to her house after you hung yourself, was when it really hit me that you were gone forever. Even though you didn't live there, you were there everytime I was, so the house felt emptier without you...I'm sorry I never got to know you better, it wasn't that I didn't want to...I just didn't know how to start a conversation, which I know is a horrible excuse...I just hope you know that everyone misses you, even the people that barely knew you. You were a great girl and I'm sorry that you saw that as the only way out. We'll never forget you.
Love,
Michelle

My dearest, I promised to come for you. Perhaps you forgot, but perhaps I wasn't enough. I am so sorry, I take full resposibitlity for your suicide. Please forgive me.
february 12, 1989 - august 16, 2005

Though you are gone now
you'll always be here
in my mind, and in my heart
but also on my arm
we cut together
but we'll die apart
this saddens me
and I want you to know
I luv you so

you may have forgotten me but I've not yet forgotten you as long as my love adn my memory last I will remember thee.
14/2/88 - 21/9/05

You started cutting at a young age, due to family problems with abuse and ignorance.
You were hated at school by many, but I was there for you.
You burnt, you cut, you did whatever you thought would help, and then, one day, you went to far...
I do the same as you Rori, my beauriful fiance, and i hope to see you again one day soon, you are my only love.

Mel,
It's 12 years this month since you've been gone. I realize that your suicide put an end to your self injurious behavior but I would have given anything to still be able to love you -scars and all -I miss you!
You're always in my thoughts,

I hope that you're at peace now. We all miss you, and still light your red candle every Christmas for you! We love you! The Gang

Sometimes I think if I would have found out about it earlier, been a bit more nosy I could have saved you. You went too far that night, and in the envelope along with the letter, you included the razor. I keep that razor with me, everywhere I go.
You were the love of my life, the only one I could picture myself with. Now you're gone. You killed yourself on your ninteenth birthday. The day you were planning to propose.
But now all of that is gone.
1960 - 2003

It breaks my heart knowing what you lost when ou had so much to live for: your children worshipped the ground you walked on; your students loved the inspiration you gave. RIP. I wish I could have taken your place.

Your mom doesn't drink anymore,

Ashley o.d. and wound up in rehab the next week.
We love you and miss you so much, especially Ashley.
See you soon.


we talked;we laughed; we were closer to eachother than our own family.we hurt together; we loved together;we laughed together;we got in trouble together. then one day he was gone. she was my ray of sunshine and she will be forever remembered and loved. her spirit lives on in the lives of the people she touched.
