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.

Tyler

Tyler, I used to be so angry with you, when I found out what you had done. You used to hold me close and tell me everything was okay, and I truely felt like nothing could hurt me when you were around. You were my artist, the one who was always there for me. My best friend, the first person I ever truly trusted. You promised you would never leave me... I needed you here Ty, I needed you so bad... But I know why you did it. I have your name, the scar on my arm where I carved it, and I know that somewhere, wherever you are, you have my name, a network of faded scar tissue to remind you of me. All I have left of you is that scar Tyler, and a million unanswered questions. Wherever you are Tyler, my only hope for you is that your finally free from the pain. You saved my life Ty, only to take your own. You stopped my suicide, and I hate myself sometimes for not being able to stop yours. If I had you back Tyler, I would do so many things differently. I've done something for you too...I've stopped cutting. I stopped on your birthday. I only wish you were here to see me. At night, I sleep with a tattered old T-shirt of yours, because it smells like you. Read more »

Saundra "Sandy" Jane Rinehart

Sandy,
Wow! It's been almost 3 weeks since you left this earth. You had become a member of the Porter family. I have many memories to cherish always and forever. The song "The Wind Beneath My Wings" says it all. There isn't any amount of words that can even begin to describe how lonely we all are. You made such a HUGE difference in many lives by the TINY things you did. You taught us all what it meant to believe in God. The one thing I really admire was your faith. You had so much. You knew everything would be all right. You prayed for all of us because you knew we would be lost without you. But, life has to go on right? So, I will keep living. I will think of you in everything that I do. I look forward to seeing you in heaven some day. Thank you so much for waking me up. I was like 11 when I met you. I am almost 16, but you taught me a life lesson. Don't be afraid of death, but the unlived life. You lived! You left an amazing legacy that fills us with hope and comfort. You touched many lives, but more importantly, you left your mark on the world. That is exactly what being immortal means. You are in my heart forever and for always. We all miss you and love you beyond words. Read more »

Christopher LaMoureaux

It's been 8 1/2 months since u left us to join god in heaven. The pain that I felt the day I found out that you had an accident never subsides or gets better. Half of my heart and soul has been torn away from me. I am only 17 I don't know why you left and I can't imagine that you knew it was coming. You loved our family more then life itself and if you truly knew then i think you would have said your goodbyes to us all. Especially your kids, your babies. They are so young and precious. They need you with them everyday Chris. Be there with them and protect them and let them know you love them, you always loved them. We know you loved us and still love us but they weren't there with you for that last year and half you lived. I know they hurt and I pray to god that he well subside their pain. Please just be there for them, for us all. I need you, our whole family needs you!
your loving baby cousin Danielle Flatto

David Ryan Fitzsimmons

David was only 19 when he decided to end everything. I was a friend of his. I know it was the day before Valentines Day when him and some friends were hanging out. He told them he was going for a walk and would be right back. They heard a noise but didn't pay no attention. He never showed up so they went looking for him an found him hanging from a tree in the back yard of his house. Many people blame it on his x. I just think this, that friday he lost his job, his girlfriend broke up with him(not the first time), then he was having family problems. All I have to say is everytime I saw him he was happy. Just because someone looks happy don't mean they are. I still can't beleave he did something like this. We all miss him very much.

A great deal of us only knew her from this site...but what we knew was that she was a beautiful person who deserved all the love, care, and respect, we could offer...she will never be forgotten, by us, and by those who knew her more personally.

Damen

Damen, you meant everything to me. The best friend that I could ever hadve. That anyone could ever have I love you so much and I know that I always will. You were the one that taught me more then anyone in life. That I could love someone so much. That life was what you made of it and that I could be worse off and things could always get better if you looked at the mthe right way. I know you don't care about that and would say I'm saying a load of crap but, you really did. You taught me how to love, care, forgive and most of all feel. I will always love and miss you.

January 1, 2005.

NOTHING COULD EVER STOP YOU,
OR EVEN MAKE YOU FALL.
YOU WERE READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD,
READY TO DO IT ALL.
YOU LEFT WITHOUT A WARNING,
NOT EVEN SAYING GOOD-BYE.
AND I CAN’T SEEM TO STOP,
ASKING THE QUESTION WHY.
I DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING,
IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE.
BUT WHEN YOU LEFT THIS WORLD,
A SMALL PART OF US DIED.
YOUR SMILE COULD BRIGHTEN ANYONE’S DAY,
NO MATTER WHAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH.
AND I KNOW FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE,
I WILL BE MISSING YOU.

Alexandria

I knew Alex my whole life, and I knew she was cutting her self, but she always reassured me she would never go that far. When she cut too deep and ended her life, she took a piece of me with her. God took the love of my life away from me. It won't be long before my cutting brings me to her, until then I will mourn the loss of my best friend, and the girl that stole my heart. May she rest in peace, for she never received none in life.
I'll miss you angel,
Love Corey

Cody Zitch

Untainted and unwounded
The lives that go on
And nothing returns
Time just stays still

Lost and never forgotten
Remembered forever
Tears shed, blood spilled
Life has ended

Drawn out in sacrifice
To kill or numb the pain
Tired, but sleepless
Dreaming forever in Heaven
Awake in the ground

Apology for the dead
For not knowing the past
Missing now what I never knew
I'm sorry

Rest now in peace
My friend
Cody Zitch

We'll all miss you greatly. I pray you move on to a better life. Blessed be, Cody...

Josh Moon---"Evil"

he was the one who saved my life...he was there when i tried to kill my self and he stopped me, but years later no one was around we he did. he had been a cutter for most of his life. When i started cutting it seemed like i was the only one, but Josh showed me that i was not alone.

there is no one else who understood me...we had promised each other that we would not cut and both kept the promise for years but some habits don't die........forever sin and evil

Angél

My dear Angel, Angél.
She left us too early, knowing this place wasn't for her.
Although we put our trust in the music, even Nine Inch Nails couldn't help
her when she wanted away.

-
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through some how
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
-

She will be missed, and I know I'll see her again.

- Matilda.
