When...

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 thinkingof the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you, And eachtime 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 when Iwalkedthrough 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
For today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
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.-
-Aunt Fran

LYRICS
I'm walking away: Craig David

* I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking awayfrom the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Sometimes somepeople get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's whyyou turn and run
But now I truly realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well I saw them with my own eyes
Spreading Those lies
And well I don't wanna live my life
too much Sleepless nights
Not mentioning thefights the fights
I'm sorry to say lady
(Repeat *)
Well I'm so tried baby
Things you say you're driving me away
Whispers in the power room baby
Don't listen to the games they play
Girl I thought you'd realize
I'm not likethem other guys
'Cause I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise
And well I don't wanna live my life
too much Sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady
(Repeat *).........till fade
-Aunt Dee

Sometimes
By: Carina Yasiejko

Sometimes
A dream is not as it seems.
A word
Not so well explained.
An action
Not so well thought out
But forever will be sorry.
A tear
Not so well cried.
A face
That is longer seen
But forever is embedded in our minds.
A love
That was never quite finished.
A heart
That will never be fully healed.
An amazing person
That will greatly be missed.
A soul
That there remains always a hole
For the memories
That will always be remembered
Of a Life
That was taken too soon,
Yet was fully lived. **In Loving Memory** Robert Ryan Barthel July 9th, 1983 – August 25th, 2002

Song: I'll Be Missing You
Artist: Puff Daddy

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin' on the block for dough
Notorius they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone we still a team
Thru your family I'll fulfill your dreams
In the future can't wait to see if you'll
Open up the gates for me
Reminisce sometime the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still livin' your life after death

CHORUS:
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
Everytime I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day
When you went away
What a life to take
What a bond to break
I'll be missing you

(We miss you, Big....) It's kinda hard wit you not around
Know you in Heaven smilin' down
Watching us while we pray for you
Everyday we pray for you
Till the day we meet again
In my heart is where I keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts, Big, I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us and the six shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me takin' flics
Makin' hits, stages they receive you on
Still can't believe you're gone
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still livin' your life after death

CHORUS
Somebody tell me why...
On that morning
When this life is over
I know, I'll see your face
Every night I pray
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
(repeat 4X)
Chorus
(We miss you)

~I Know That You Are Not Gone,
You are Just Away,
and I Will See You Someday,
XO Aunt Kathy

Curls and Smiles

It hurts so deep and still I pray
That someday this pain will go away
Replace it with sweet memories
Of years gone by in summer eve's
I won't forget this child so sweet
With locks of curls and eyes so deep
To say his life was brief and short
It's ran it's path look at all he has taught
Love be loved
Give out all your hugs
Live life like today's the last
Remember, today is your past
Think of Bobby and his smile
Never let it leave you, not even for a while
With love, Aunt Chrissy

I Grieve
By Peter Gabriel, Up, 2002
it was only one hour ago
it was all so different then
nothing yet has really sunk in
looks like it always did
this flesh and bone
its just the way that we are tied in
but there's no-one home

i grieve for you
you leave me
so hard to move on
still loving what's gone
they say life carries on
carries on and on and on

the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
and I can't handle this

i grieve for you
you leave me
let it out and move on
missing what's gone
they say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

life carries on
in the people I meet
in everyone that's out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and the rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

its just the car that we ride in
the home we reside in
the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

did I dream this belief?
or did I believe this dream?
now I will find relief
i grieve

I won't be afraid
I'll be allright if you help me
I know you're looking down from heaven
And I won't let you down
I'll be everything you thought me

You're Here
By : Erin Sebestyen

Whether it's the wind on my face,
Or the sun on my skin,
I know you're here,

In every drop of rain,
and speck of dirt,
I know you're here,

When the sun shines through the clouds,
And the waves crash upon the shore,
I know you're here,

In every star I see,
And breath of air I breathe,
I know it's you.

Love Always and Forever, Erin

Those who are dead are never gone,

They are in the books we read;
They are in the songs we sing;
They are in the stories we tell;
They are in the poems we write...

Those who are dead are never gone,
They are there giving loving encouragement and support that never fails;
They are there giving hope to the despairing;
They are the meaning to our earthly experiences and existence..

Those who are dead are never gone,
They are in the goals we achieve;
They are in the thoughts we think;
They are in the ideas we express;
They are in the dreams we share...

Those who are dead are never gone and never will they be forgotten!
Love Uncle Marty

Song: Wherever You Will Go
Artist: The Calling

So lately
been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could
then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe
I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you
to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could
then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now
just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart
in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could
then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go

Love, Aunt Kathy

Words
By: Demetrius Pinder

The constant, tranquil screaming inside of my head has been awakened by your death
The hidden pain and agony that's buried deep in my heart have taken toll on my emotions
I can't hide anymore
I can't run anywhere
The frustration is becoming prevalent
These tears inundate my nights
These dreams are becoming surreal

Closure and forgiveness is what I'm aching for
The jungle inside my mind have paths to no return
The torn feelings of inadequacy and insecurity is ripping the fabric of my soul
I wish I could make the pain go away

People play it off as a cycle of life; rationale for their grief
The viscosity of the pain runs deep through my veins
Confused about love
Scared of the volatility of life
Doubtful of my future

Programmed responses by conditioned people that mean well
It's like pouring salt on an open wound
Words just aren't powerful enough

I'll always remember to say goodbye Bobby.
Love, Demetrius

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void, then fill
it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends,good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free!
-Carina

A Little prayer for an Angel, Love Aunt Lizzy
God's Heavenly Garden

Sometimes God picks the flower that is still in full bloom;
sometimes the rosebud's chosen that we feel He's picked too soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading with the petals floating down,
but God knows the perfect time to gather flowers from the ground.
There is a hevenly garden in which God takes great pleasure because
He's placed within it the loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms giving them eternal rest,
and I know that it must please Him because He chose my very best.
(Dorothea K. Barwick)
