Hi sweetheart! / Loving Mom That Loves And Misses You So (Mom) Hi sweetheart, Another Wade child has joined you too soon....your beloved cousin Lynn--36 was killed in a car accident on the March 19, 2006. It's hard to imagine four Wade children dying in a three year time frame and all of you being buried together in the same cemetery. Lynn's sons (Bruce and Dylan) and family are just beginning the struggle we have survived for two years...my heart aches for them. I know you and JJ were smiling when you saw me on a Harley Saturday (after eight years of not riding...only rode for this event, a fundraiser)....I decided to ride your Uncle Ben's Harley in memory of you, JJ, Lynn, & Thomas. Trent is here this week (as he is out of school like Michael) and Jeremy will be here next week when Southampton schools are out. Watch over us and we'll continue to share the precious memories you all left behind with as many people as possible. Send some angel kisses...as we send love notes to you and JJ. Love Mom

Our loving thoughts are with you, beautiful Michele, shine down on your precious family, who love and miss you, so very much.xxxxxxxClose
Dearest baby girl, Jeremy and Trent were here this past weekend and we really enjoyed having them come over. Morgan didn't come because they were having a birthday party for her Dad on Saturday. All four of them really miss you so much. Tommy and I renewed our vows on Valentine's Day with Eagle 97.3 radio station and little Michael was there. He had a fun time because he got to dance with the morning show DJ Jennifer. I try my best to watch over your babies well-being, health, & happiness (along with the other grandchildren). Watch over us...we miss you and JJ so much. Sending love and hugs to both of you from all of us. Love, Mom and your family
"Lord, your steadfast love is my strength to face each new day while my wounded heart struggles. Though I can't really see the progress, I find myself having the courage to entertain fond memories before they are washed away with my tears. Dear Lord, continue to strengthen my soul!"
Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26
Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.
Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa
Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand.

For Grieving Friends / Melissa Smith (grieving Mom)
Loving Savior, today I lift up my friends who are grieving. Give them strength when they feel weak; and when they feel alone in the long chilly night, surround them with a warm blanket of your love and their good memories. Like armor, may this prayer protect them from all harm. May the wind blow their burdens away little by little, so that they experience the freedom of joy once more. I am confident that just one solitary prayer will make a difference in their lives and in mine. Amen.
January message / Mom, That Loves And Misses You So! (Mother)
Michael got hurt twice within four days...his elbow popped out of the socket on your birthday (so he and I missed most of the Celebration of Life because we were at the ER) and then he got hurt at school the following Wednesday and needed a staple in his head. Then about a week after that he missed two days of school because he had "pink eye" in both eyes. Mike hasn't been to see him for about four weeks now. I filed paperwork for child support, since he hasn't paid any of that since Christmas.
The first annual Celebration of Life on December 31st was a success... families of 160+ angels sent their loved ones to be remembered too. I am looking forward to next year's ceremony. I pray I will be able to stay for the whole event next year. Sharing the precious memories of you, JJ, and the other loved ones as far across the world as we possibly can.
We love and miss you and JJ so much! I have been sick with the flu for the last few days but I don't have time to lay around...especially when so many things need to be taken care of for the grandchildren. There isn't anyone that can help with the day-to-day events for them...so I kick into "timex" mode (take a licking and keep on ticking). Watch over us here...we need all the help we can get.
Sending love and prayers from your loving family, Mom and Tommy Jeremy, Trent, Morgan & Michael Brandon and Jamie

She is with us... / Melissa Smith (grieving Mom) (none)
Heaven knows what you've been through So much pain Even though you can't see I'm not far away Since you went away I light candles and say prayers Know that love still remains
Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you
Live your life from this day on And love again I know you'd do the same for me That's the way that loves is supposed to be
When you feel those lonely teardrops Rolling down your face Just know my love watches over you Always
Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you I'm still with you
I wanted to wish you a belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Healthy, and Loving New Year! All the best in 2006!
I hope all your grand kiddies were able to enjoy the holidays.
I think of you often, and my heart really goes out to you. I still can not understand a parent losing one child,(like i did) but for a parent to lose two children within five months...It isn't fair!
God must have special plans for our love ones. They must be very, very special and he must have needed them. Imagine the urgency he had for needed two of your children. How special they sure are.
I don't think we are put through pain and heartaches for no reason. As hard as it is, we have to have hope and mine is that one day I will be reunited with Angie.
December thoughts to you, sweetheart! / Your Loving And Grieving Mom (Mom) Today is December 12, 2005...it has been a long one year, six months, twenty three days, four hours, and thirty minutes since you were killed and one year, ten months, seventeen days, and twelve hours since we found out that JJ had died.
Tomorrow is Jeremy's 13th birthday, I am going to mail his card at the Franklin post office tonight and use one of the stamps I had made with your picture on it. I hope it doesn't upset him but comforts him.
I have about 120 angels for the first annual "Celebration of Life" ceremony I'm planning for New Year's Eve. I want to celebrate the lives you, JJ, and other loved ones from around the world have lived and the lives the survivors must continue to live for all of you. I'm going to establish a scholarship fund for you and JJ at Paul D. Camp Community College. Dr. Patsy Joyner is going to be a speaker at the ceremony on New Year's Eve.
I stay busy but that doesn't fill the big void in my heart from missing you both. Watch over Jeremy, Trent, Morgan and Michael...may they have some peace, in their mind, from the deep loss of missing you. We all miss you both tremendously but it is so much harder for your children than adults. I love you so much!!! Love, Mom
Mom,tomorrow I will be there Though you may not see I'll smile and remember The last Christmas, with you and me
Don't be sad mom I'm never far away Your heart has hidden sight M memory will always stay
I watched as you touch the ornaments Sometimes a tear was shed as you did I touched you gently on your shoulder And on tiptoes I proudly stood
I'm only gone for a little while mom I'm waiting for the day to be When God call out your name Mom We'll be together, just you wait and see
But until that time comes Carry on as you did when I was there I tell the angels how much I love you There are angels here everywhere!!
I stand behind you some days When I now that you are sad I want you to be happy mom It would make me so glad
So on this Christmas Eve, Mom Think of me as I will be thinking of you And touch that special ornament That I once made for you
I love you mom and dad, also I know you know I do And I'll be waiting here for you When your earthly life is through
Love, Your child in Heaven

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my step-son Seth Montgomery June 30, 2004 at the age of 17. I know how difficult this is for you. Seth's birthday is Dec 13. I will keep your family in my prayers . God Bless you and your familyClose
November message sweetheart! / Your Loving Mom Dearest Michele, Michael has been having some difficulties with his left eye and the gait on his left side. He has an appointment on November 11th for a follow-up visit with the specialist. The children and I cleaned the road "in memory of you and JJ" on October 29th. Michael went "Trick-a-Treating" as a Star Wars character, with his Dad and Jennifer. I am in the process of putting together a "Celebration of Life" on December 31st...in memory of all angels from across the nation, this will be a yearly ceremony to be held on December 31st. I spoke with Dr. Joyner at P.D. Camp Community College, I am working with her to set up a scholarship fund in your memory, and hopefully we can get everything pulled together in time for the celebration this year. After the celebration event, I'm going to have a big birthday cake (made by your Aunt Debbie) with ice cream for the grandchildren, I cannot afford to give separate birthday parties. Brandon helps me with Michael a lot, Michael misses Jamie. I usually take him with me to see Jamie three to six times a month. We all love and miss you so much. We will continue to cherish the precious memories you and JJ left behind. I love you sweetheart. Watch over all of your earth angels. Love, MomClose
MY CHILD / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend)
MY child
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious child, Close
My Heart / Teri Lenox (None An AngelMom )
My heart goes out to you for the loss of your beautiful daughter Michele. I pray for you & her children. You are a very strong lady from what I can tell by the things I hear on AngelMoms. It must be so hard to loose 2 children I can't imangine what you go thru. Loosing Devon was hard enough. May God & your Michele watch over you always, love, Teri L. I don't know if I sent you Devon's site but here it is www.geocities.com/devonsmemoryClose
I cant believe it / Michelle Drummond
Its so unreal that something like this would happen to a smart young lady with children. My dad and his sister were only months apart in death also. So i can understand how that effects your body strength and emotions. I had to attend my dads funeral in Feb 2004 and my aunt wandas funeral in June 2004 and then my lovely sisters funeral in June 2005. So i understand. Thanks alot for visiting my page, i appreciate it. Love and prayers for you and your family! Close
Praying for you. / Brandi Kotsalis
My heart breaks for you and your family. This site is such a testimony of the love you have for your children. Keep your faith in the Lord. Thank you for sharing this story. Close
Wilma/ Wilma Shaffer (none) I'm so very sorry for your loss. I loss a daughter to sucide when she was 18 yrs old. Her name is Michele. I know she is in heaven now, so maybe they know each other. My heart breaks for you. God Bless you and your family.Close
October message for you sweetheart / Your Loving Mom Dearest Michele, I am struggling to keep my head above water here, keep a watch over your babies and I. Trent seems to be having a difficult time...I continuously look for positive ideas to help them with the large gaping hole that we have in our hearts without you & JJ.
Michael is doing wonderful in preschool, he really enjoys seeing Trent at breakfast and lunch every day. Mike is not spending enough time with Michael (at least like I feel he needs to)....As long as Michael is a minor, he should always come first... maybe parenting classes would help him understand. Morgan loves to come and visit. Jon is up to some of his old tricks....they are still living with his mom. I have not seen any progress towards the home he said he was going to buy with the money from the "wrongful death suit." Jeremy and Trent have moved into their new home, in Sedley, earlier this month...their new home is behind where we usually go sit to watch the fireworks on July 4th. They both have a room of their own. Jeremy put up the large telescope I got him for Christmas last year.
I am not looking forward to the holidays coming up...I must proceed as usual but my heart is not in the festivities like the years past, before you and JJ died. I love you and miss you both so much...words cannot describe. Love MomClose
Such a Loss! / Judy Blackburn (another Angel Mom )
Dear Diane and family, I am sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful, productive young lady with so much going for her to live for. While understanding will always elude you, may God grant you some peace. Close
