My Angel, my AJ, left us on a Thursday. 19 years is just not long enough for us and the world to
enjoy such a precious, caring soul. Such a smile, a sense of humor and a compassion for those he
felt needed help the most. Such a great athlete, his best season was his senior year playing
football for DY, what a record they had and the coach said they couldn't of done it without him! He
always looked forward to playing for Team Cape Cod in the summer, catching for the best pitchers and
complaining that his hand hurt, but loving it all the same. But his biggest love is his family.
Trying to be the big tough guy with his brothers, Joey and Nicky. He loved to spin Joey up and then
back down once he came after him because somehow Joey got bigger than him, bossing Nicky around
simply because he was the younger brother, parties at Uncle Shines with the Living Legend and never
being anywhere without his best friend, his Dad, Bigs. So much so, that he was starting a career in
the same field, just like he had always said he was going to since the time he could talk, "I'm
gonna work with you Dad and build a house in the back yard". You can't imagine how much we miss
you, AJ. You are such a big part of our family, it is broken and we are left to pick up the pieces.
I know you are trying to help us, I feel you, but it's not the same. We are trying ....
An angel is what AJ is to me. As his time on earth has past. His loving memory will forever last. He was more than you or me. Because an angel is what he was meant to be.

My long lost angel, why did you go?
There's no answer, I may never know.
Smiling so bright, like white shiny gold.
Then you were laying there still and cold.
"God, please give her back, I need her here.
I will die here without her, I fear.
There's an emptiness deep in my soul.
With her gone, I'll never be whole."
This aching pain is so much to bear.
When I wake up and you are not there.
You were with me for just a short while.
I'll never forget your sweet little smile.
You staying here wasn't meant to be.
God needed an angel and gave you wings.
You'll always have a place in my heart.
When my time comes, we won't be apart.
My world is dark, no sun and no moon.
Wait for me angel, I'll be with you soon.
Briana Hall
can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fall
By Karl Fuchs
THY WILL BE DONE
"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine" He said,
"For you to love the while he lives, and mourn, for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all on earth return;
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor in vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy Will Be Done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run,
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

Sleep my Angel cry no more,
for now your pain is gone
You left us all way too soon,
and so we carry on
You tried so hard to struggle through,
but had to say goodbye
I know it's what you had to do,
but all we do is cry
Our hearts are breaking with each day,
that we don't see your face
We pray that that it gets easier,
but we're searching for the way
Watch over us from up above,
where I know God loves your smile
Throw the ball with Sam & Jim,
and check in on us once in a while
With all the love in my broken heart - Kimmy
We Love You Always ۞
We didn't know what Heartache meant
Until the day you were took away
All the tears we've cried
The hurt is here to stay
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
We cry for the loss
Of someone so special as you
In life you were so special
In death your so missed too
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Even though your gone
In our Heart you will remain
In spirit you're still with us
But our lives are not the same

You may not think the world needed you, but it did. For you were unique: like no one that has ever been before or will come after. No one can speak with your voice; say your piece; smile your smile; or shine your light. No one can take your place for it was yours alone to fill. Because you are not here to shine your light, who knows how many travelers will lose their way as they try to pass by your empty place in the darkness
Don't Judge Me - by Unknown Author
Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave,
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made.
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad,
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad.
But in time the memories
will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all
With an inner peace.
Remember me when the sun is bright
And laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there.
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain.
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me, please do not cry.
Who's To Blame? - by Christine Ross
Who's to blame for suicide?
The question often heard.
Someone always points a finger
And they say such hurtful words.
They never do consider that
It's caused from a disease.
Depression and Bipolar
Are just a few of these.
Some die from being murdered.
Some die from accidents.
Some die from pneumonia,
But none of it makes sense.
Sometimes body parts wear out
Way before their time.
Some lose the cancer battle,
But it all seems so unkind.
No matter how they leave us
It never is their choice.
There's something deep within them
That has a bigger voice.
So please refuse to take the blame
For the THING that took your child.
Although others point their fingers.
They haven't walked your mile.
