I lost my 14 year old son on May 25, 2009 to an act of violence. He was the funniest and most outgoing kid you would have ever met. He had the mind of a young child but the spirit of an older, wiser man and never held a grudge against anyone. One night he and I had a disagreement and he walked out of the house and slammed the door. I was very upset crying and yelling. My daughter was walking by his room and heard him trying to get back inside the the house through the window so she walked over and opened it and asked him why he left the house and his response was very simply "I was mad........now can you go get me a honey bun?". Just like that he was over it and wanted a snack. We laugh about that story all of the time because it kind of shows his true spirit. He would get mad and get over it and move on while many other people would hang on to that anger. He loved us very much and the we loved him and miss him just as much.

I lost my son also at a early age 35.He made me laugh so very much.He is a loveing person.with a sense of humor like no one else in the family.Something he got from his father .One of the last funny things he did was come to help take a part a entertainment center that was going to the dump.After piece by piece when they got to the bottom there is a hugh platform with wheels.He said I've got to try this hs got out in the street and tried to use this like a skateboard.There was no way to way to have any direction.He stood laid and sat on it .Going were ever it took him .It was a beauitful fall day.I can still see him running his hands threw his hair.

My daughter, Brandi, was killed in a car accident in 2007. I had her when I was 17, we grew up together. An abusive marriage, several heartbreaks, and financial struggles. One night, after an argument with my boyfriend, she came in with her best friend. She gave me a hug and put both hands on her hips and said, "It's ok moma, I'm gonna play you some man-hating music!". Just remembering her smile, is priceless.

My mom could be dificult in a lot of ways, but she always loved to laugh, especially at herself. In our family, it seems to be a family trait to say things backwards. (I call it verbal dyslexia.) Once when I was 6 years old, she was trying to ask when girl's day on the monkey-bars (aka jungle gym) was, so that she would make sure to have shorts for me to wear. But she said it this way:"When is monkey's day on the girl bar?" My dad and I both just cracked up! This was a common occurence in our home. And she laughed as hard as we did.

When my son was a freshman in high school, I still packed his lunch. He started asking me for an extra sandwich or two, and extra snacks such as chips and cookies. I just thought he was extra hungry. I found out later (after his passing) that he was selling his extra stuff to classmates!
