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.

| May 2nd 1993 - October 31st 2005 How could you have left me here i was the one with problems you were the good girl that always got good grades and was everybodys friend. You told me that I couldn't die till you were married and had a good life. But know youll never have that perfect life you always talked about. I still play your song Evanesence My Imaginary because its the first sad song i heard you sing I miss you so much I love you Jessica | 7-10-88 - 9-11-04 we love you and we wish you were still here with us we miss you every day we walk into the station and every day we walk past your old gear we wish you were here with us from the explores of sfd | 8-21-1982 - 1-1-06 It's amazing. You always seemed so strong, I don't remeber ever seeing you crying. I never saw your fear, I never knew your pain. Why couldn't you tell us that you were hurting? Why couldnt you tell us that you needed someone to hold you? You touched the lives of everyone that you encountered, for moments or for years, you changed them forever. I can't believe you finally stepped over that edge. We love you man! Love, Ethan Matthew died by cutting his wrists open 8-21-1982 to 1-1-06 |

I miss you. | 12 Mar 1991 - 13 Jan 2006 i love u babe.. | 05-04-05 I wished we could have gotten closer. We could have shared our pain. We never knew. You always seemed so happy, you always made us laugh. Thank you for the letters. I'm sorry so many of us let you down. That damn woman, that damn man, those damn pills..... X |

Dad. Best birthday present ever...NOT! You are one of the best and worst things that has ever happened to me. Sometimes I wish that you were still here and loving me and caring for me the way you used to. And other times--I'm glad you're not around anymore. You encouraged me, and look what you've done. I'm broken. Why did you have to go? Why did you leave me to bleed? I guess that just goes to show, you never really cared. Never cared at all. Still thinking about you, every time that rusty razorblade collides with my already blood-smeared and scarred body. Thanks. I love you, too. | August 31 1988 - November 11 2005 she always was a nice person who tried to help everybody around her.. I'll never forget her.. | october 17 1988 - september 13 2002 its kinda hard with you not around i know your in heaven smiling down watching us as we pray for you every day we pray for until the day we meet again in my heart is where i keep you friend all these things i just cant define wish i could turn back the hands of time give anything to hear half your breath i know your still living your life after death. every step i take every move i make every single day every time i pray ill be missing you thinking of the day that you went away what a life to take what a bond to break ill be missing you |

I didnt get a chance to be there for you but im here now and I hope that you can forgive me for not seeing your pain! I am now cutting and hurting myself and I hope that i can get threw it but I need your help! I love you Dannielle | I never expected it from you. Maybe me, but never you. | 11-12-1986 - 2-12-06 Whitney, you have no idea how much your friends and family wish they would have known your pain. If only we could have helped you before it was too late. I hated finding you on that bathroom floor, i don't know if you heard me, but i begged you to hold on and come to- i pleaded that you survive and allow us to help you through all your pain- if you heard nothing else before you left i hope you heard me tell you how much i loved you as i counted each visible scar you had- there had to be over 200 freshly cut scabs and hundreds more of healed over scars covering your body. How could you have so much pain and not a single one of us noticed? Because you were too concerned about others and their struggles to let anyone know of your own struggles. Not a single person can remember you crying or even without a smile always on your face! All your adorable long sleeved and pants outfits never drew any attention to what may have lied beneath them. Why did you have to be so concerned about everyone else and never let someone be concerned about you? That bathroom image when i found you was enough for me to start genuinely caring about others and their "true emotions and struggles" Even in your death you have caused many others to gain support. I love you. |

| August 15, 1985 - February 13, 2005 David's life was cut short when he decided to end his life. I wish he had known how much he meant to everyone. I wish I had told him more often that he was my buddy and that I liked hanging around him. I wish a lot of things, but mostly, I wish my friend were still alive. | 1981 - 1997 I never met you; my brother went to school with you. When I was 6, and my brother brought home his yearbook, I looked at it, and there was your obituary. I used to cry whenever I'd look at it, and I'd pray and pray for you. Now I go to the same school you went to, and I walk the halls you walked, and I hope you're feeling good, wherever you are. | June 29, 1987 - April 21, 2005 A true prodigy, taken from us far before he could ever show the world the magnificent mind he kept saddly hidden. A genius and my best friend, I will always miss you. |

I'm so sorry for the day we stopped talking. I love you forever. Build me a fort in heaven and wait, I'll be there to keep you company one day. | I remember flirting with you at that dance. I remember stealing each others hats. I remember playing kick the can with you. I remember stealing sodas from the food area at school. But what i remeber most is getting the news you had shot yourself. I remember that. I remember the tears and the pain. I remember relapsing into cutting again. I remember wondering if i would be next... the next one to kill themself because now what? your gone and thats all there is to it! i love you and i am so sorry i never saw your pain! winona |

| 11-29-05 I never knew you. But you touched the lives of my friends. Its to bad it had to come to this. Hanging yourself @ a hospital. I guess the pain was to real for you to handle. I am sorry. You are among angels now. You you rest in peace and your spirit live on thru memories of your friends. Your death will not be in vein. |
