“Sacred the place, the time due to silence. Here, now, I remain silent.’’

“Sacro il luogo, il tempo, dovuto al silenzio. Qua, ora, io taccio.”

In loving memory.

Last time I saw my cousin Terry.  He was 12 when I was born. I was 10 when his daughter Tammy was born. Terry and his sisters grew up next door to us - our dads were brothers and we lived on our grandparents land. They were so helpful during my childhood. We lost his sister Barbara several years ago - they live forever in my memory

I worked with Bill for many years. He was cheerful, friendly, and conscientious. A really nice guy.

Bill was a good person and friend to many, "May angels lead you in." Our deepest condolences to all family and friends

Papa was an amazing grandfather to all of his grandchildren. He always put a smile on our faces. Words can’t express how much I miss him. He always cared for every one of us. Papa made amazing fires, always picked out the perfect Christmas tree, made jokes that made us laugh, told amazing stories, played games with us, would always watch the Braves play baseball with us, and I’m so happy we made the most cherish-able memories with him. I’m so glad Papa lived a bright, and eventful life. I miss Papa so very much and he will be greatly remembered. I love you Papa.

Dear Dad, 

Thank you for your love, your light, your care and concern.  Thanks for all of the cards and letters throughout my life. No matter where you were living and/or visiting, you made sure to include me by sending photos, cards and descriptions of where you were. I saved those and will pass them on to my son.  Thanks for being a caring, sweet dad all of my life. Thanks also for allowing me to sing to you until the end; that was such a special time for me. I know that I will see you again Dad, but until then, know I am thinking of and missing you every single day. 

Love you always,
Susan

Papa was an amazing grandfather to me. He would always make the funniest of funny jokes, he would always watch baseball and football games with us, would be a crazy shopper, and was a great person to have in our family. He would always make us all crack up, was a joy in the household, and brought many, many memories. I am so grateful that I had an amazing grandfather in my life and even better, having one watching over me. I love papa so much and no one can take that away from me nor our family, you will be greatly remembered papa.

None of us is ever fully prepared for the loss of a loved one. I know I was never truly prepared to lose you. You were so much more than just my father, you were my trusted friend and advisor, always looking out for me, and always wishing for my happiness. 

You often knew me better than I knew myself, often predicted my next moves, knowing well my inclinations and traits. And while I often pretended you didn't know me as you thought, secretly I always knew you did.

I can't believe the day has come that you're no longer around. I never imagined what it would feel like to lose you. It hurts so much to know I won't see you again, but I find just a little solace knowing you're in a better place, free from the ugliness of this world, and entered into the Kingdom of Heaven. 

I was so blessed to have you in my life, so blessed to have you as my father and friend, and am devastated you're gone. 

Like me, your granddaughters Jaia and Amara thought the world of you, and we'll all miss you dearly.

Rest In Peace dear Papa. 

Forever in love and light, 
Tala

To my dearest Dad:

My hero and helper.  My advisor and guide.

You were my knight-in-shining armor, saving me countless times, whether it was a flat-tire, car accident, or with last-minute homework.  

You were funny and loving.  You read us bedtime stories and taught us to say our prayers.

From our beach vacations to our handful of ski trips.  You (and mom) always wanted to show us and give us the world.  You gave so much more to us, than you gave yourselves.

I will miss you every second of every day for the rest of my life.  I will see your wonderful face when I close my eyes.  I'll wish I could share a cup of coffee or a margarita with you.  And I know Tala and Yousif would say the exact same.

Thank you for being so good to me.  Thank you for welcoming my husband into our family.  Thank you for the kindnesses you showed your grandchildren.  

I will talk to you still when I need your advice and look for signs that you're nearby.  Maybe it'll be a red bird flying in the trees or maybe a magical and unexpected rain. That's how you'll speak to me now.  

I know what you'd tell me almost any given moment anyway.  Always sage advice, even if I don't always want to hear it. 

I'll try to light that fire beneath me, that I've just been too tired to do for so many years now.  Life is so short.

But I'll also look forward to seeing you again one day.  For a game of UNO or some political talk.  For a laugh and cry.

I love you so much dad.  Until we meet again....

Love Forever & Always,

Jen

Well precious cousin your awful suffering is finally over  I was always hoping I would get to see you one more time. You and your sisters were sometimes the best part of growing up / even if you were 12 years older.  I will miss talking politics with you we have each other support. I told my son you were gone and he was so sad because I spoke so fondly of you. My memorial stone is next to yours at Sandy Springs - I can’t think of a better place. We will catch up again eventually.  Love to Barbara Harold and Kim and Sandy. I am sure you have all found each other. Love. Jan Deaton
