Thank you spirit that I call Mom, for conceiving, birthing, and raising me. As I never had a chance to say good-bye, or thank you for all the great effort you put into raising me, this will have to suffice. Because you left me so early in my adult life, I never properly connected with you. These past 23 years I've continued to miss you, and many times daily I speak out loud "I love you Mom". But somehow I know you are nearby and hear and see me, even as I type this message. Know that you now have 3 grandchildren, and 4 greatgrandchildren. After a 10 year absence, Don has just reconnected with our family and his 20 year old son. Steve is a pilot (first officer) for Am. Airlines, and he and his wife Elaine have a boy 9 and a girl 7. Cindy and her husband Leroy have two boys, 9 and 4. I never had kids because of all the life support medicine the past 25 years. I left David a year after you died, and moved to CA 18 years ago. Know that I am a U.S. Forest Service Volunteer, mountain bike patrol. I am a prayer counselor, therapist and hold a Ministerial Degree from a new religious movement church. I take classes at the local State University, and after completing eight more classes I will earn my BA degree in Psychology and Relgious Studies. Mike and I have been happily together for 12.5 years. Dad, your husband will be 87 years old tomorrow, and he isn't taking any medicine. He still lovingly takes care of the home he built for our family, 48 years ago. Gerry D. looks after him like a saint. He worked till he was 78 years old. Ann had a Catholic marriage on 6-15-96 to Steve's wife's uncle, and now lives in NH. All is well here. As I pray for your soul, please pray for ours down here. Someday we will all be together again. Thank you for coming to me in my dreams. Know that I love you for eternity, and look forward to more lifetimes with you on Earth or elsewhere. Love always, your daughter from Earth on 9-18-1996. Joan.

Bobby Joe Marshall was my brother-in-law. We went to school together at Fairview High School in Camden, Arkansas. I married his older brother, Cary. Bobby was happily married to Patricia Ratcliff and has two wonderful children, Tiffany and Zach. He was working under the garage at home on Saturday, April 9, 1994, when he lost his balance and fell from a ladder, injuring his head. He stayed in a rehab center for months and was finally sent to a nursing home. He never spoke again, and was virtually a vegetable. Bobby was a wonderful person that we all miss. We can always ask why something like this happens to such a good person, but God always has a purpose and sometimes allows things to happen that we do not understand. Bobby left this world after almost three years of being an invalid at the age of 44 years. The nurses tell us he had a big smile on his face when he took his last breath. We believe he was seeing the angels in heaven! Bobby, from your family in Monticello, Arkansas, we love and miss you. Love, Cary, Deb, Ryan and Allison

With many thanks to all those health care professionals who assisted so ably in her final days. A private cremation has taken place. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or any other charity of choice, would be most gratefully appreciated.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose. My dearest mother and friend will remain in my heart forever.

Daddy,
I always have and always will love you with all my heart. You were the greatest man I ever knew. You deprived yourself of so many things just to be sure I got all the things I needed. Only I can know the true meaning of the saying (Daddy's Lil Girl). Daddy, Corey and I are very close now. He really takes care of his little sister(me). He wanted so badly to get to know you Daddy and I know you wanted to know him to. We both love and miss you so much. Your memory will live on forever in my heart as well as Corey's. No one will ever take your place, you are our one and only Daddy. I am getting married in August of 2001 and I am so heartbroken that you will not be there to walk me down the isle. I know you will be there with me in spirit. We are going to have a memorial of you set up at the cermony and reception. I would do anything to have you back! I miss you so much, there are just no words to explain how I feel. I wish I could have changed what happened Daddy, but that was in God's hands. I know we will meet again Daddy, I can hardly wait until that day. You died a Hero Daddy, trying to save someone else's life. You will forever be a Hero to me. I love you!
Love Always
your daughter,
Ms. Carrie Martin
