Jonathan fell asleep at the wheel north of Quesnel after driving all night from Enderby to Prince George. He was a beautiful person, both physically and spiritually. He left lasting impressions on everyone he met, both young and old. He was at the highest point in his life with a new business and wonderful girlfriend. If anyone wants to help us see the meaning in this tragedy, it would be to encourage your loved ones NOT TO DRIVE WHEN THEY ARE TIRED.

This poem tells all.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Shaun Brush
June 24, 1980 – December 3, 2002
Drowning caused by seizure
North Bay, Ontario
Shaun was a special needs child that triumphed over every medical obstacle in his path. He could not speak well but surprised many with his insight and offered friendship to everyone he met. His medical condition was rare and was considered a miracle. The doctors at Sick Children’s Hospital re-wrote the medical books because Shaun proved the impossible! He taught them the human brain can “heal” from damage. Shaun never understood why he was so special to the medical world, but he sincerely cared when someone was ill. Although it has just passed 2 years, Shaun has proven that you are truly connected to your children after death. He has sent us many gifts and messages through people that never knew him. He wrote the following poem after he died: Fear Not I will be there forever I will be there to enjoy love I will be there to experience marriages I will be there to experience the births of your children I will experience all of this because I will be there forever. I am not gone. You are me, and I am you We are so loved You may not always see me But you will know when I am there By footprints I will leave In the sand and snow You may not always hear me But you will know that I am there By the feeling of my hand Fear Not! You are me and I am you We are so loved, for eternity. S.B. I have shared this poem with you as it has helped me understand that we are part of each other through our Spirit and Soul. If you listen carefully, your child will tell you they are safe in Heaven and yet they are also here with you. Shaun, Keep up the great work Boo! We have missed you physically, but know that so much of you remains! Love, mom, dad, Jamie, Bill and Niki

Kerrobert, SK
Not a day goes by when I don’t think of your Connor. Your older brother and sister miss you so much and can’t understand why your with the angels and not us….I had Chloe shortly after you and I believe you sent her to me….She is a god send… but in a way it makes me miss you more having a little one around…. I am trying very hard to forgive the wronging that were done with you, but it is so hard for me to do…You would be here if only people would have listened to me…You were 2 weeks to a month overdue and had no more room to breath and the meconium didn’t help….Life is so precious but when it is robbed from you, it is so…. I can’t even think of a word to describe my pain of not having you with me….I know your watching over us now and I thank god for that…he didn’t have a hand in your leaving us, peoples choices did and one day I will choice not to be so angry anymore also…I love you my sweet precious son and miss you with every breath that I take… love your mommy Cindy

Left too long in womb- stillborn
Kerrobert, Sk Canada
I miss you each and every day and am still frustrated knowing the only reason your not here is because you were left in me too long. The doctor left me 14 days over when actually I was 2 weeks to a month overdue from my due date. I asked to be induced so many times but no one would listen. I am trying to forgive is the hardest lesson to learn out of a tragedy….but I love you so much and miss you with each breath that I take…your my guardian angel now and someday we shall meet again….Your brother and two sisters know all about you and wish you were here with us each day. I want them growing up to know they had a brother who should be here. Christmas is not so much fun for me inside, but I hide it for the others. We’re not complete with you not being here but we have to move on or else life will go on by without us noticing…I love you my baby boy so much watch over us and guide us….love your mommy Cindy,

Lanse au Loup, NL
Hi, So glad to have found this site, I just got a call from a great lady, who told me about this. Almost 4 yrs. and its like yesterday, what do we as bereaved parents do when it seems everywhere you look people are getting ready for Christmas and I cannot even think about it. Why can’t we do the same? why are our lives changed completely? There are sooo many whys and no answers. All we know is that we feel like we will never be “normal” again. There are days when I pray to God that let this be a bad dream, he can make that happen but the longing goes on and on. Well like Paula would say-gotta jet!! Paula’s Mom Forever Betty

She went missing the Monday after Mother’s day and was found Tuesday morning in Lake Ontario. Her life was cut short by a first time offender who thankfully was caught 40 days later and was sentenced to life in prison on June 17th 2004. You can read her story on her website. Though she will live in our hearts and memories forever, she is sorely missed each and every day by us all. Murielle

Car Crash / Brain Cancer / Seizures
Toronto, ON
Sheldon had been fighting Brain Cancer & Seizures for 6 years when he was killed in a single car crash due to high speeds. Our family has become totally estranged by this loss. My husband and I have stuck it out and spent these past years since we lost Sheldon (our only child) helping each other to heal with love and compassion. The loss of Sheldon has made our relationship stronger. Not having the families to help us to heal has made it extra hard on us. Our families are to this day still unable to cope with or confront the loss of our wonderful Sheldon. I would love very much to be able to remember Sheldon to more of our family members. It hurts that many of our family members can not even hear Sheldon’s name without a negative reaction. It seems I think of Sheldon as often now as I did when he was alive. After almost 6 years I can think of him most days without crying. I was a mess for at least 18 months to 2 years but now I have found some bittersweet happiness in day to day life.

The Wing We let our children go “on a wing and a prayer” and, as they grow and, as they fly further and higher we no longer know their wing capacity, so the prayer becomes like breathing; we don’t think of them without prayer, verbal or otherwise.

We know it will not bring him back, no matter how much we wish it, but maybe it will prevent the same situation from happening again. A part of our lives is gone and the void can never be replaced. The one thing that carries us is Bowan’s 3 brothers and the love we share.

Our sweet baby girl peacefully gave up her three month fight for life in my arms on September 1, 2004. Not a day goes by without your mom and I thinking about your cute little frown, your tiny little fist shaking at the doctors, or your time in my arms as I read you a bedtime story. Your time came too soon, it was not fair. We love you honey, Mommy and Daddy will hold you in their arms again one day in heaven.

Cord Death
Mission B.C.
This was a very shocking thing. I had a very good pregnancy and everything was smooth going until I went into delivery. Sometime from the time i left the house to the hospital my little angel went into distress, they tried everything that they could to revive her but had to place time of death after 10min. I am still waiting the autopsy report but as it sits the doctors say it was caused by a thin cord and it was wrapped around her little ankle.

She is remembered for her courage and positive attitude. She lived 14 months after her diagnosis showing us the depth of her faith, love and hope. She amazed everyone who met her with her determination as she fought her way back from a devastating stroke reaction to radiation treatments. She relearned all her life skills such as walking and talking and further went on the teach herself sign language, bike riding, swimming and how to write all of her school work left handed. She was the greatest teacher and best friend of my life. I am extremely proud of her and love her with all my heart. Sincerely Paige’s mommy Rhonda

Bowels Deficiency
Barrhead, Alberta
My baby girl was born into this world with pain! When I was in labour with her, they gave me a pain reliever and told me it was not a narcotic. This effected baby where her heart beat dropped tremendously. She was born 10 min later but still born. At 20 minutes the doctor and Nurses came to me and asked me what they should do… she had a pulse at this point. Five minutes later she was breathing! We named her Hope Angel Charlotte. Hope lived for 5 months and 12 days. She suffered a lot! But she taught me to believe, have faith and to live every day to the fullest! I will always miss my little angel girl but I have special memories engraved in my heart forever. She was born in Vernon, B.C.

Just 2 days before he would be two months he left this earth and when he died a part of me died with him and I will never forget the feeling I had when I saw him hooked up to all those machines. It was a sight that no parent should ever have to face. and now the only thing that keeps me going is just knowing that my Lil Leeroy is looking down on me and watching over me. I love you and miss you so very much and every day that passes is a day i get closer to being with you so until then Lil Leeroy juss remember that Mommy loves you and i miss you so much.

Trev was taken from his many loved ones so suddenly and tragically. I wonder if he will ever know how much he is missed or how much he is loved. I wonder if he knows that we visit him and talk with him and think about him every minute of the day. Trev, our lives are not the same without you and your smile. Your cousins that never got to know you will hear all about you and the memories that you left us with. I trust that you are in a far greater place Trev, because this place is obviously not very good. Trev, I remember the last words you said to us, and I remember the smile you had when you said them. I love you. Uncle Dave

Accidental…
Welland, ON
Rob was not my son but my boyfriend…friend and now my strength. He had a smile and a sense of humour anyone could always count on to brighten their day. He was missing for 8 weeks before he was found in the Welland River after a night of drinking, drugs and talking in hopes of healing the depression and pain he was feeling. I can’t help but feel partially responsible for the pain he was feeling but I know he would not wish that responsibility on me. The entire situation is incredibly complicated; so many factors. That however never disguised the heart ache and sadness that his death has caused. I have been told by a psychic that he is a sad being and that he has not “gone to the light”. That he wishes he was here. Rob-I desperately want you to go…be happy and enjoy whatever the unknown has to offer. I miss you still…..would give anything to be sure of your happiness….. I am sorry for all of the pain that I must have caused you. If it makes any difference at all you forever changed me for the better. Luv you Rob! xo

SUDEP (sudden unexplained death in epilepsy)
St. Catharines, ON
My husband and I have been going through a very rough battle in the loss of our son, it was so sudden and still so unexplained but it still remains he’s not coming back. We are very close to each other and try to help each other out as best we can with all the love we have to give. We just had Cole’s 1yr of passing and I thought things may become a bit easier with time and it seems that that scenario was not to happen at all. I think sometimes that not being able to really feel anything, or not know what I’m feeling, is there a God? what’s next? is a very difficult thing. I am blessed with another beautiful child, Jade who is 2 next week (3days before Cole’s 5th birthday) she was 10months when Cole passed and I will remember for ever the wonderful feeling I had when Cole walked into the hospital to meet his sister for the first time, it was such a beautiful moment, one that will last forever in my memory. So I guess, it may be time for us to connect with others in the same situation to get us through this next part of this road we share.

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds. The days we do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

Diabetes ??
Carlyle, Saskatchewan
Bowan was diagnosed with diabetes at age 10. He lived his life to the fullest not letting his disease stop him. He almost had it all, the charm, the looks, he loved sports, his Camaro & 4×4 Dodge, and his dirt bike that flew through the air, a wonderful smile and personality that seemed to let everyone know they cared. In a town of 1200 included the countryside, there was about 800 people at his funeral. We were overwhelmed at how many people’s lives he had touched. He died from Ketosis Acidosis after being in a hospital for 7 hours and not being treated the this condition. We live every day knowing he was murdered by the medical system and yet still trying to run our lives (3 other boys) and our own business. We have vowed he will not have died in vain and that this will not happen again. He was my firstborn son, my confident and friend, and for 19 years I treasured him. His dying has torn my world apart. I hope I can find some comfort with this group.

Our son died because we thought doctors words were law. What our son died from should never have happened. This disease is treatable. The symptoms were there but no one listened. If a parent feels there is something wrong with their child there gut feeling is probably right. Our son would be 20 years old this year and our message to other parents is listen to your heart.

My darling little angel it’s been ten years since you past and I miss you so very much, as the years go by I wonder how you are how you look. You had beautiful black hair, tiny chubby fingers. I had so little time but the time I had gave me valuable memories. You also had a big brother to meet you. Happy Birthday my darling angel, I love and miss you so very much Lots of love Mom & Jerry

With every breath of every minute of every day, we miss you terribly. You were the most loving son, greatest big brother and most wonderful daddy. You lived life on your own terms and in your own way. You made people smile wherever you went. You are ever in our hearts and forever a part of our lives. The words cannot be found to describe the emptiness in our hearts and lives. Love forever, Mama, Greg, Zack & Kayla

To My Son. My heart aches every day with missing you. You were my first born, my only son, and you brought so much joy to my life. Never could I have imagined that when we said goodbye last summer, on my birthday, that I would never see your smile again. I believe that we will meet again someday and until then I will hold you in my heart. Missed dearly by Mom, Dad, sisters Kayley and Lisa, and so many others. Rob, you made a difference in this world and your leaving will forever change so many lives. We love you always and miss your smile and teasing so much.

massive head injuries-accident fall from horse
Huntsville, ON
A special poem to help all parents learn to live with their grief. Dedicated to my Loving daughter, who’s donated tissues have giving sight to two people and enhanced many other lives. ” I’m Free ” Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path that 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 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!

Murdered by 4 people
Winnipeg, MB
Our 20 year old son and brother TJ was brutally murdered on Jan.5, 2003. Four people planned and 2 of them carried out his murder. They have all been arrested and charged with 1st Degree Murder and Conspiracy to Commit Murder. My son was left in an open farmer’s field, covered in snow, for over 5 weeks before he was found. Not only do we have to deal with the horrific ordeal over losing a loved son, we have all these external elements such as the justice system and the press forced upon our family. TCF has done so much for me, and I can only hope that I can do for someone else as they have done for me. Our son and brother TJ will always be remembered for the words he used EVERY TIME he left our side, or for that matter on the phone, “Bye Mom/Dad, Love You, Kisses, Hugs…” In fact just hours before he was murdered, his last words were exactly those very words. TJ was an avid outdoorsman. He was a bow hunter, a fantastic swimmer, cleared trails for our snowmobile club, and was a pleasure to ride behind him when snowmobiling. He enjoyed the snow so very much. He loved Manitoba’s winters! We will miss him always, and always wonder what he would have become. TJ had grandiose dreams, and he was stolen away from us before any of those dreams could be met. Love You, Kisses, Hugs. – Floyd, Karen, Stacey & Chad

You were a beautiful blond angel who brought us nothing but joy. And in death you brought life to many through your organ donations.

Car Accident
A few hours after I learned of my son’s death, I wrote this letter to him and made sure it was placed with him over his heart.
Dear Sweetheart,
I didn’t put a date on this letter because it is not important. We had so much to say one another but didn’t find the time. You were my first and only child and when I gave birth to you a piece of my heart became a part of your personality. Just a stare at you often just filled my heart with pride and a certain deep love that only a mother can feel. That could never, will never change.
Your mom and dad never stopped loving you and I know you felt the same. Forever I will cherish the special gold chain and pendant you bought me, certainly not for any monetary value, but from the love you gave it to me with. This writing isn’t too perfect my love, but it is written from my heart. Your father and I will miss you terribly. If I could give up everything I own I would, just to have you sit across from me and give me a hug. Thank-you for all the times you did call and tell me you loved me. Those calls will never be forgotten. I will also never forgot the pure joy and laughter that shone through your eyes so often.
Bad times?? Sure my darling, but always a part of growing up and learning. I made mistakes and so did you but somehow we came out of it with a lesson learned and we were both better people. I don’t know my darling how I am ever going to get through this or if I will ever be the same. I will take consolation in the fact we will be together again someday, but it seems impossible to imagine a life without you. Your life was just beginning and Garnet and I are just devastated by being left behind. It is not the way it is supposed to happen.
My darling son, I want to thank you for the past 29 years and I wish you a wonderful journey with God, angels, peace, and happiness. We will meet again.
Love you Mom & Dad xxxxx ooooo

I think about her everyday. I wonder how she is now. I miss her terribly, more than I ever admit to anyone. I wish I had the power to undo this horrible nightmare. I wish I’d had the power to prevent the unspeakable pain she must have endured that morning. I wish I didn’t hate everyone who ignored her cries for help. I wish people that seem to be saved from near death didn’t say things like, “someone must be looking out for me, or someone up there must love me”. I wish, for Sara’s sake I could find that part of myself that I lost that day, that part that knew joy. Danya Voth

We often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks, We cannot bring the good times back, When we were all together, But loving memories from the past, Will stay with us forever. The time we shared with you, Is worth it’s weight in gold, The joy and laughter that you gave, Are ours to have and hold, Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is heartache, That NEVER goes away! Love always to our Guardian Angel, Your Family

We have still not been able to accept your sudden passing – and we are struggling daily with the huge loss, and we, your family, will never be the same without you. As your mother, I miss your beautiful face, heart and of course, that SMILE … you possessed the smile of an angel … you are so sadly missed by your younger sisters; DINA and CHRISTINA, your grandmother Tessy, your grandfather, uncle, and all cousins /friends and the rest of the family. Camie says he had the honor and pleasure of knowing you for a short period of three years and and you made a big impression on him and misses you so much also. Life has changed dramatically for us, and we can only carry on one day at a time. More than that is unbearable. I don’t know what the master plan is to take you away from us before your time & especially before me, your mother, so the PAIN is 10 fold; but if there is really a GOD, as what I have been taught as I child, I hope you welcome me when it’s my time. Maria, I miss you so much that it hurts; and I long to hug and kiss you which I never will never be again. I can go on and on but I must stop right now – you are forever in my thoughts … love eternally, your mother Vicky XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I miss you calling me during the day from school, I miss you coming home and picking me up and swinging me around hugging me when you got home, I miss you sneaking out of bed at night to come talk to me. I miss you asking me questions about what you should do about a friend that had a problem. I just miss everything about you. I miss you helping me and taking out the trash with out having to be told. There is so many things that I miss, how could I ever name them all baby. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. A day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. I will see you soon at the gates. As you once told me “Do you know how much I love you? I Love you so much, you don’t know how much I love you.” Other parents can only dream of having a child like you, saying something like that at 16 and being 6’2″ and 245 lbs and I was so Blessed to be your mom. I Love You Always, Mom

There is not a day goes by that I do not think of you and wish that you were still with us. You died too soon and so tragically. My dearest son, you were loved by many. You gave yourself so easily when helping others, never thinking of yourself. You enriched many people’s lives and touched many people’s hearts.
Don had been married only two years, when he was taken from us. Unknown to him or anyone else but God, his wife was pregnant. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, nine months later. He is the spitting image of his dad, and he is so precious to all of us, and his name is Don.
In trying to deal with his death, I have written many poems in memory of him, some of which have been published. I would like to share one of the poems with you, as a bereaved parent. I hope in some small way, it will help you to deal with your loss. It is titled “Our Son”
Don, it’s been 12 long years since you were called away It doesn’t matter where we are, we think of you each day You loved life so much, and lived it to the fullest But on that fatal night, dear son, you were taken from us Some people say, “you must forget, and get on with your life” But they don’t know how hard it is to face the hurt and strife Only those who’ve lost a child can understand the grief Of losing one so precious, the pain and disbelief That you no longer have this child on earth to call your own For fate has dealt a mighty blow that hurts you to the bone Oh, Don, what we would give to have you back again It broke our hearts to lose you, we will never be the same May God give us the strength to carry on without you Until our days on earth shall end, and we can be there with you
So deeply loved, and sadly missed, Rest in peace, dear son

But now, the universe has unfolded. Karl, you are not gone, but only gone before to where love lives on evermore. Not lost, but only lost from sight, as one who walks ahead at night. Not parted, only just apart, in memory kept close in heart. Not of the past, but now to be a part of all eternity. You are the brightest star shining in the heavens, always to be a part of our lives. With a wink of my eye. and a kiss blown into the air…. I love you Sunshine XOXO

He died doing what he loved. sports When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near, and never, never be afraid to die for I am waiting for you in the sky.

We started this garden during the last spring of Clark’s life. Its beauty is a great source of peace and tranquility, though he never saw it in its full form. People who knew Clark well know what this garden represents and I would like to share my angel garden with others because Clark’s memorials are vital and alive through these plants, trees, this land and me. Each summer I tend to this garden he left behind for me and it has produced sustenance and healing for my body and soul, occupation for those summer days which sometimes seem endless and a tranquil for needed quiet time. The trees that Clark planted, nurtured and worked to shape provide peace and beauty and a place for the humming birds, goldfinch, wrens and robins to come back every summer to built their nests and lay their eggs. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, sing with the flowers, listen to the trees and tend to this garden for the both of us.

He is not looking after your mother or your sister because he only looks after himself. He was always in jail and didn’t even look after you like a father should. I want the world to know what a terrible father he was, Barclay you were a perfect child, your mother raised you well. We love and miss you so much little grandson. Candles glow in the windows and in our hearts.

RYAN ANTHONY PERROTTI
SEPTEMBER 24, 1996 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
STATUS EPILEPTICUS
I cannot begin to describe my son Ryan. His death was so sudden and shocking. He was a smart, friendly and vivacious child. We are so lost without him. Lately, we had noticed he had a talent for drawing things. He would look at a room and draw the smallest detail. We had so many dreams for him. Every night when my husband and I would put him to bed he would always ask for a group hug with him in the middle of my husband and I. We always told him how much we loved him and were very proud of him. He was very close to my husband and I. He was also very close to his grandparents on both sides, his aunts and uncles and his little cousin, Jessica. He thought she was his little doll.
He was always very kind with his friends and teachers at school. The week before he died he had gone apple picking with his class at school and one of his friends was crying so he says to her why are you crying and she said because my mommy is not there at night. So he says “If you have a sleeping bag you can come to sleep at my house”.
I was always very involved at his school and was so happy with that. Last Christmas the school had a Breakfast Brunch arranged for all the kids and I volunteered to help out that day. He was so happy. He kept on asking me everyday before that day, “Mommy are you sure you’re coming to the breakfast” and I would reply “Have I ever promised you something and not kept my word”. Just to seek that face light up meant more than anything else in the world. I had promised him that I would attend again this year.
Sometimes I close my eyes and picture that he’s standing right in front of me and I can touch him. Lately, he gotten so tall that he reached almost to shoulders. As a joke I would pick him up from under his arms and would tell him “Mommy will always be able to pick you up”.
Anyways, I could go on and on the list is so long. I thank you for listening to me.
A desperate mother, Mary Vittoria Perrotti
Sharla Marie Collier
May 3 1982 – November 16, 2002
MURDER
Sharla was a fun loving caring child. Who grew up to be a Beautiful funny loving caring person. We always thought of her as a cross between Drew Barrymore and the Humor of Jim Carrey. She just graduated from The Rehabilitation Course was looking forward to planning a wedding and buying a house with her boyfriend Kris. She had big dreams and was on her way of fulfilling her dreams. When she went to work for a group home of FAS Teenagers she thought she could help them she was very compassionate towards everyone. Little did she know one of the boys that was in her care that she befriended would wind up taking her life. The government needs to be accountable for her death and all the deaths of the children that have died over the years under the care of the ministry. Iris Evans the Minster of Children and Families you and your beaurocrat buddies in the legislature have the Blood of Sharla and all the children who have died under your care on your hands. Sharla it is hard to go on with out you and our family circle has been broken only to be rejoined in Heaven we all miss you so much. Love you ..Auntie Wendy

Christopher Kenneth Pinch
April 13, 1972 – December 2, 1980
medulla blastoma
Chris was such a joy and a very special little boy (aren’t they all!). His special quality was love…He truly knew the meaning of the word and he was oh so Wise! He was our teacher, our friend, our son, our brother. He loved us, his Mom and Dad, and sisters, Linda and Kayn. He especially loved Grandmothers. Riding on the bus one day, a crotchety looking old lady boarded and scowled at all as she headed for a seat. We would not have touched her with a ten foot pole. She was M-E-A-N! As the bus started up, Chris slid from his seat beside us and went across the aisle and put his hands on her lap, looked up into her wrinkled face and said, “I love you Grandma!” Her face was transformed, she smiled, her eyes twinkled and her whole countenance glowed. Back beside us, he explained, “That Grandma looked so sad.” We have so many beautiful memories to warm our hearts on sad days. Days at the beach, days in the snow, shopping, reading, listening to a favourite record or talking with Kermie, the Frog. Chris taught us the meaning of life and that death is not to be feared. He was only eight years old and yet he was the wisest person we have known.
Christopher underwent brain surgery January 25, 1979 – it was a deadly medulla blastoma tumour. Our lives were shattered but he put up a fight for months before leaving us. The operation was devastating to him. He was in a coma for two months and when he came out of it, he was in great distress and unable to speak. We were told he would die within three months and that he would never again communicate. By the end of June, he was singing and communicating in two languages! Chris was joy personified. He was building marvelous structures with Lego, drawing pictures of Kermit and helicopters, policemen and family – (precious keepsakes). We had a wonderful year including a trip to Disney World (Chris’ favourite ride was, “It’s a Small World”). However, by June 1980, the cancer was in control. He was paralyzed from the neck down by August, and we realized in September that he was blind. He cried when we made that discovery because he didn’t want us to know. He didn’t want us to hurt. He died December 2nd. He’d been unable to eat, and breathing was very difficult, never mind talking, but he still sang on his last day on earth, and he assured us again and again, “I love you.” Chris was love personified. He loved to pull tricks and tell jokes. He loved to be helpful and impish. He went to French Immersion School and he loved the language and the songs. He loved God, and music, Sesame Street, his best friend Timmy, Spiderman, policemen, his family and grandparents.
Chris was . . . and still is LOVE. We cherish our memories of him with such incredible pride.
Christopher, our son and brother – You were – still are – and ALWAYS will be a part of who we are – what we are – and what we do – today, tomorrow and FOREVER.

James was an awesome person. He was caring, compassionate, helpful and full of hugs and kisses. He was a great friend to whoever chose to be his friend and would put all he had into that friendship. He was taken in such a horrific way and should not be dead today. James was big into sports and had become big into body building. James had won provincials in 2002, making him Mr. Saskatchewan. James there are hundreds of people out there that wish so much that you were here to make many more memories. I love you and miss you more then ever. Love forever and always Jess

“Remember Me”
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves Shining in the sun.
And remember, I’ll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love Growing in your heart.
And remember, I’ll be remembering you!

S.I.D.S
Hi my name is Kim and my husband Jody and I lost our daughter Jessica to S.I.D.S. She was 5 weeks old and 5 days. Jessica had two older brothers Peter and Wade. They were both so excited to have a sister. Peter was excited because she was born 2 days before his birthday and he told us that was a good birthday present. Well 5 weeks later our family was torn apart by Jessica’s Death. I never thought this would happen to us not our family. Everyone who knew her was so upset with losing her. We started to go to Compassionate Friends. There i was hugged by a very special lady. Gwen Linski. I think she is my angel sent to me to look after me. Whenever I was down Jody would phone her and she would be at our house right away. The death of a child is very hard and Gwen sure knew that. Her hugs are the best. Gwen I wanted to give you a big Thank-You for being there for me and Jody. Bill, Gwen and my family are just like her family. We are very close to them both. My boys are too. We have a child since losing Jessica and his name is Dillon and he is sure a busy one.
Thank-You again Bill and Gwen for everything you have done for us and the boys. We love you both so much Kim, Jody, Peter, Wade and Dillon (Our angel forever Jessica) We love you we miss-you we remember the short time we had you with us.

Stillborn
We waited and hoped for our angel for so long! And then he died six weeks before he was supposed to be born. To say we were devastated doesn’t even begin to capture the feeling of our loss. I didn’t believe I would ever recover– I felt sure that I would die from my broken heart. My husband and I clung to each other through those horrific days after Nat died. We didn’t feel that we could try again. We have not had any more children. But to us, our Nat is alive in Heaven and waiting for us… and on his birthday we both take the day off to celebrate his short but precious life. We visit the cemetery, then we go for ice cream because that’s what we imagine a little boy would love to enjoy on his birthday! We will love him forever. We will miss him forever…until we meet again in Heaven.

My beautiful 20 mth. old son was taken suddenly in his sleep. I have no answers, Why this happened. I am still in shock, denial, and why didn’t I know something was wrong. I don’t think I will ever forgive myself for not being there for him. All my doubts still hang over me, I have another son that is 6,all my secure feelings of being a mother are shattered I feel so unsure of every decision I make. I really don’t no how to get that back.

I keep expecting family and friends to understand and sympathize but they can’t understand. It’s beyond their depth of understanding. But I hurt deeply, and need to know others understand me.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1
Sarah was born into this world happy and we thought, healthy. At Easter (2002) we found out that she had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type one, and would probably die before her second birthday. Even though we had a year to prepare ourselves with the eventual death of our beautiful daughter, it did not make it any easier when the moment came. At the end, Sarah was not strong enough to breath on her own, and she could only move her hands and her head. After she was removed from life support, she only lasted a few moments in my arms. She told us in so many ways that she was ready to go. I miss my “Sarah Sunshine” very much. It is just short of 2 months since she left us. I don’t know which would be worse. Knowing that your child was going to die but not when (like us), or the unexpected death that most of you had to deal with. It each has it’s own pains. Lyn

Death after an assault
To whomever is there, My son died trying to help a friend. He saw 2 friends being assaulted by someone and crossed the street to help them. My son was assaulted on October 27, 2002. His friends are fine, but he landed at hospital emergency with a broken nose and other fractures. He was told to come back the following Wednesday, but, he became ill and landed in the hospital on the 29th of October. He fell into a coma and had 2 major head surgery’s within 10 hours. Since he fell into a coma, he stayed that way for 10 days before he passed from this world. He was an innocent victim. He only wanted to help his friends, and from what I know of him, he tried to talk everyone out of the argument or whatever caused the argument. He had already crossed the street on his way home with his best friend, when the noticed the other 2 boys having problems. I hate it that he had to go in this way, trying to be a hero. In his many friends and family members lives, he is a hero. But to me, he is the biggest loss I have ever known. My one and only son. I cannot compare this loss to anything else that has ever happened in our lives. His father feels the same. I have never seen his father cry as much as he did and does in our situation now. I don’t even know if anyone is even here right now, and here I am pouring out my heart once again. But, Hope to hear from someone on this site. It sounds like a good one. Heather

truck accident – neck cut
Vincent died tragically in a truck driven by his friend, Marc, on the way to school in the morning of Nov.8, 2002.Marc reached down to pick up a light switch that had fallen down. He wasn’t seeing where he was going. The truck skidded on the new fallen snow, went up a street divider, and rammed into an oak tree. Vincent was propelled through the windshield which cut his neck. He hemorrhaged to death. Attempts to resuscitate him at Yorkton Hospital failed. My husband and I were deeply shocked and grieved at the loss of our dearly beloved and only child. We also lost our hopes and our dreams for the future – Vincent was a brilliant student, worked hard, excelled in all his studies, and won honours in every grade (student of the month, student of the year, principal’s aw Oh, the pain, the sorrow). He also won gold and silver at the Sask. provincial weightlifting and wrestling championships. Vincent was very popular at school. He could easily achieve what he set out to do. He was so looking forward to getting his driving license when he turns 16 in Feb.2003. We had the money saved up for his university education. Vincent was planning on going into medicine or dentistry… But now our dreams and our hopes are shattered ! Our faith in God’s love and protection is shaken. Why, God, Why??? Oh, our pain, our sorrow, our guilt, our devastation ! My husband who hasn’t missed a day of work in the last 28 years is now so psychologically depressed and stressed out that he is on sick leave. We need your support and comfort, but unfortunately there is no chapter of the Compassionate friends where we live. (Yorkton, SK)

On Monday, August 19,2002 a part of me died when I received the the news of my dear son’s cruel sudden death in an ATV accident when he was returning home from work near Seaforth, ON. He was so hard working, so handsome, so responsible, so full of life, so witty, so loved and cherished by so many. There are not enough tears in my body to shed to express the depth of my grief. My last memory was of a tall, handsome, dressed-up boy admiring my new car, looking for a later opportunity to drive it, and saying with a big smile: “See you later dad.” I will never let my love for you ever die, my dear football buddy and dearest greatest son one could ever have.

I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew – And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space Put out my hand and touched the face of God. P/O John G. Magee, Jr.

Car accident
It’s been 15 long years, and yet it seems like yesterday. This Christmas was especially hard, because Clarke became a grandfather on July 26, 2002. He would have been so proud. The grief lessens, but raises strong when we least expect it. Love you and miss you so much….Mom, Dad, siblings and your children.

“Oh baby David……the silence of your birth tore through my heart. Not a photo, nor footprint, nor bracelet to be had. For thirty-four weeks we shared the same breath….and then I was alone. Oh, baby of mine, your tiny footprints are embedded in my heart and I shall remember the warmth of your birth forever. I love you little one.”
