She gets out of the car and walks to the grave. She kneels on the ground and begins to pray. God why did you take my husband away? He was my whole life my husband Ray. She gets out of the car and walks to the grave. She kneels on the ground and begins to pray. God why did you take my son away? He was my oldest son my boy Ray. She gets out of the car and walks to the grave. She kneels on the ground and begins to pray. God why did you take my daddy away? He was only 42 and I need him in my life everyday. She gets out of the car and walks to the grave. She kneels on the ground and begins to pray. God why did you take my brother away? He was my olest brother my brother Ray. God looks down from heaven as each woman walks by. In each ones eyes he saw tears in their eyes. He watches Ray as he begins to pray. God knows hes letting his family know thats hes ok. This is dedicated to my brother who passed away on March 6,1997.

Juanita...this was very powerful and it was so sad that I have tears running down my cheeks... Its strange how sometimes, out of the most awful events such beauty can be created.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Juanita, this is so so heartwrenching, I cried throughout this sad but beautiful dedication! (big hugggsssssss) My heart goes out to you and your whole family, for I know how it feels, though deep down with all my heart I know your brother Ray is smiling up above and guiding you always with his love and light. (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a golden loving heart and Ray will always be so happy to have such an angelic sister by his side. (kiss on cheek) My heart is always with you, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Juanita, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Very Beautiful tribute! A loss is so overwhelming, but with comfort and faith we are pulled through stronger and more determined to live for those we have lost. I pray you the strength to do this, to live for you brother, to let him see life through your eyes as he watches from afar. God Bless you and yours this holiday season, HUGS!  Ter. Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace. |

pieces about loved ones that have passed away are sometimes the hardest to write. I can see your heart in this one. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |
