Danielle cherished family, friends and life. She had her whole life planned out; her husband, number of kids, two dogs and would be a dermatologist, a career where she could help others but have time for her family.
Christi had just enrolled in college. She just began taking First Baptist Church shuttles downtown every Thursday to befriend the homeless. Just chit chatting with them and letting them know they had a friend. In her journals, she was determined to turn her life around and she started by helping others. She volunteered often for the M.U.S.T. Ministries to help set up their clothing shop for the homeless and the children's center. She helped cooked their meals. She helped do their laundry. She wanted to go into a field helping others. She would have changed at least one person's life, for the better, when they thought there was no more hope. She didn't show up last Thursday. She died.
Mark suffered a brain injury at the age of 19 the night of a high school prom. Mark died at the age of 25. Life was hard for Mark, he lived an aphasic life. Mark struggled to relearn his alphabet and to speak again. Neuro rehab, drug rehab, jails, institutions and death. Mark was disabled and a fighter all at the same time. College, heavy equipment operator, volunteering were all part of these six years. Mark loved kids and wished he had one. Due to the selfish reasoning of his so called friends, Mark will never be able to achieve his dreams that he fought so hard for. Mark's struggle is over !! PEACE..........
In the months before she was killed, 21-year-old Anke Furber had been acting scared and she seemed to know she was in danger. Several days after Furber's charred remains were discovered in a small vineyard in Norcross, Anke's mom, Ria, found a note in Anke's desk at home in Marietta. In it, Anke seemed to foreshadow her own death. She wrote, "My parents would surely grieve the loss of their wonderful daughter whose craziness would soon lead to her slaughter". Ria isnt sure exactly when the note was written, but believes it was written in a close time frame to the actual murder.
At 22 years old, Levi had goals and ambitions of being a business owner, a husband and a father. He loved his family and friends with everything in him and would do anything for you. His shyness and manners we're a shining attribute to who he was. Unfortunately, Levi befriended someone who for nearly three years took advantage of his kindness and when asked to leave his home, he killed him. If he would have just walked out the door as asked, Levi would still be here today. We'll never know all the wonderful things that Levi would have accomplished, but we know he was a "Friend" till the end.
Ephraim was 21 yrs old when he prematurely transitioned to the other side. He was a very warm hearted young man. And was always available to help friends and family. As his cousin Ben said about him: "You can lay a 1,000. on the table and know completely that Ephraim would have never taken it". He spent most of his days at Antique World in Clarence , NY which was owned and operated by his Uncle. That was my sons world. A world he will no longer be able to participate in. He is sorely missed by his family and friends.
His friends describe him as a kind, warm hearted, full of energy, always smiling, and a very silly young man. They also said that whenever Sean walked into a room that he had the ability lighting up the room because he was full of life and energy! He loved his dad, his mom, and his sister very much. He had a very special bond with his great grandma Efford and his great aunt Charlene whom also up in heaven with him. A warm hug from Sean was just another way that he showed his affection to his family and friends
When Cayte was in the middle school she was on the track team, she was a cheerleader for the Nor-Roc Vikings, she was on a soccer team, and she loved attending the dances at the Sad Cafe. When she went to high school, all of those activities stopped. The sad reason was because she was too old. All the kids have, once they reach high school, are the woods and the homes of friends when the parents are at work. If she had activities to do after school when she went to high school, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
From her birth to her passing Katty touched so many lives. Not only did her family have the joy of watching her grow from a 6 pound baby girl to a beautiful young woman, but so many others did as well. The lives she touched are too many to fathom. Her beauty and grace preceded her where ever she went. Her heart was made of fine gold and she cared for others always before herself. She was not just special to all of us but to the Lord who saw fit to call her home at such a young age. Her mansion was ready! When we think of Katty now we all can be at peace because we know she is with her Lord, never to face this harsh world we live in day to day. She is with us always when we remember her smile, her touch, and her kind words. We all had the pleasure of being touched by an ANGEL!
We want our son's name to be Remembered and to bring hope and joy out of something that has been the darkest and heartbreaking days of our families life. JP was very out spoken and we have decided to be that way on this site and to be his voice about the drug companies and the public official's that sit back and do nothing. If we could save one person from what our family had to go Through and is still going Through, it would be all worth it We will not stop until the truth gets out. We want his memory to live on .
Time has gone by so quickly and it seems like we haven't seen your face in forever. Our hearts are broken, our tears flow so freely and our souls feel empty. Michael, you left us with so many happy memories but the memories can never take your place. We know you and your uncle Sam are saving a place for those who cherished you the most.

Baby Girl....we're doing it!!!!!!

I told somebody that you bequeathed me your "fighting spirit" because you no longer need those in heaven. You loaned them to me...on earth as in heaven!

Just to let you know...I have borrowed them on earth to fight your case.

I am so proud of the persistence and the fight you left me.

We're going to save at least ONE! I know it! Because of you dear!

Thank you for the "muscle"!

I love you honey1 I love you so much!

I wish I would have fought this hard for you while you were still here. I am so sorry! I took you for granted. Lil did I know!

Thank you for being my daughter! And thank you God for her gift to me!

With all my love,
mom

Hi Christi
You did not know me in life,but I feel I have gotten to know you though you sweet,loving,Mother we have been getting to know one another , I know in my heart you and My son Edward are smiling down on our friendship.Here is a poem I wrote for your mom in memory of you.

Christi’s Rainbow


As I wake up in the morning and the foggy
Haze of sleep dissipates, & my mind becomes
More clear
I think Of My Sweet Christi and smile
Because
Like the rainbow that lights up the sky
With its beautiful hue’s of colors
After a refreshing spring rain,
She touched our hearts with the Brightest
Of smile’s
Like the rainbow is a promise from God
And it leaves us with brighter days,
She left a lingering presence of radiance
And most especially her love
And like Gods Promise it gives me hope that
Ill see her again.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
As my feet touch the floor to start a new day
I realize sometimes in life we really do get to
Meet, hold,touch, and love our heavenly angels
If only for a little while, for god must call them home,
And I know if I had to do it all
Over again I would
Just to feel her love!

  Hi honey. I'm supposed to say Happy Birthday today. It's your 23rd. I can't quit crying. It was just a minute ago that I held you for the first time. It was just a minute ago that you took your first steps. It was just a minute ago that you told me you loved me for the first time. It was just a minute ago that I brushed your hair. It was just a minute ago that you turned into a woman. It was just a minute ago that I lost you. On God's clock, I will see you tomorrow! I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined! Thank you for being born! Thank you for being my daughter! Have a blessed birthday in heaven honey....and know how very much we love and miss you!

Well sweetheart, it's the first day of a new year without you.

You want to hear something sad? I'm trying to help a family find their daughter today, who was supposed to come over here to see me. She named her own daughter after you...spells it the same too....Christi. She went out last night and the family has not heard from her. My goodness!!!!!! I am praying for her and for her family!

Honey....I know what that family feels like...and even more sad than that....I know exactly where you are right now.

Thank you for being with me. Thank you for your loving spirit. Thank you for being my most beautiful daughter!

I love you with all my heart sweetie. God Bless you with all my love, taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.

BOOOCOOOOODLES!

Dear Big Sis,
It's officially six days after. People always say that time is the only thing that heals, but that is DEFINENTLY not true; it still feels like yesterday. I miss you so much- I wish that I hadn't moved, maybe things would have been different. Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda.. right? I still remember our deal, and I'm trying my hardest to hold up my end of it. i think you would be proud of me. I love you.

Hi Baby Girl. I really need a Christi hug. I am re-living today, 2 years ago. It's like movie in a loop, playing over and over in my head. This was your last "functional day alive" 2 years ago. I'm going through the "should haves", to change anything about the next few hours.

I love you baby girl, with all my heart....I love you! Save me a seat and a hug!

Hey Girlie. Things are crazy right now with all that's going on in my life... I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted.

I miss you so much, Hunny. I'd give anything to chill on Derick's bed one last night. To hear your laugh, see your smile, listen to you talk about your day, etc. I wanna hug you one more time SO BAD!!

Benny and I were at the beach on our Honeymoon. I was out on the balcony at sunset one night, and there was a hot pink glow on the water from the setting sun. It made me smile and think of you.

All my love and hugs FOREVER,

Hi sweetie,
I was thinking about you and your mom, my sister, our family, today.
Family dynamics are such a powerful force in our lives as we continue to grow up, establish our own lives... and... well, grow up :)
We touch each others lives in ways we may never know or understand. I'm tickled at the noise you made, and a special touch that only you, Christi Michelle, made some folks pay attention. You got mine for sure. Please watch out for all of us. Your Mamma is a special lady and she loves you so. Send her extra hugs everyday, (Ron & Brent could use 'em too :)
I wish we'd have had a lifetime.
I love you Christi
Always Hugs

Hi beautiful baby girl. It's one day after Mother's Day. Today is 5/14/07.

I am your mother every day of the week...every minute of the day...every breath that I take, so every day is Mother's Day to me.

I pulled out the giant Mother's Day card you left me...it comes up to my knees! I keep it out. I read it often.

I have the beautiful framed Mother's Day collage you did for me....and I see it daily (hanging in my office) and I point it out to everyone new who enters our home.

I know you were with me this Mother's Day...and everyday. I felt you. I cried. The Mother's Day tribute at church had your name all over it.I felt like it was you, talking to me.

Every day that I wake up is one day closer to you. God's timing does not live by our watch, so I'll be there in just a few!

By the way, have I ever told you I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined? I love you boocoodles!

I miss you baby girl. Dang, I miss you so completely!

Thank you for my mother's day...for it was you who gave me my first mother's day. My first unconditional love.

Thank you for you sweetheart. With all my love, mom.

I had the pleasure of meeting Christi's Dad Ron at the Hartwell Boat Show this past weekend. He told us of the story of his boat, and of Christi's beloved Pug Oreo.

It was especially sweet when Ron won the award for "Best Chris-Craft" at the awards dinner, and even though I never got the chance to meet Christi, I'm sure she was BEAMING and looking down on her Dad with love as he accepted the award.

Hi Sweet Beautiful Angel of Mine...an angel on earth tapped me on the shoulder to send a little "hi" to this site.

I love you so very much honey. I am with you EVERY MOMENT of EVERY DAY!

Easter is approaching us this weekend. I soooo wish you were here. I know you would enjoy helping with the children's activities and would love to decorate the cross.

You will be enjoying a most beautiful event in heaven. Sprinkle some down to earth for us!

Baby Girl: I hope you don't mind if I share this. After all....you have shared so much of your life with others.

I rec'd this email: here goes:

I had to share this. I LOVE PARAGRAPH #3! That was soooooooooo Christi! I cried. This is the 2nd letter I have rec'd. The first came from a kidney recipient. This means sooo much to me!

(Letters have to be sent anonymously through the organ donor foundation and the foundation forwards the letters.)

HAD TO SHARE!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Letter typed "as is":



"To the Family of my Donor"

Dear Family,

On October 6, 2005 I was the recipient of a liver transplant that saved my life. I had been ill for a number of years and in November of the year 2000, I was put on permanent disability. I was no longer allowed to work or even to drive. I had gotten to the point where I would have died within a few months.

Early Thursday morning on October 6, I received a phone call from my transplant coordinator telling me that a donor was found. This was the third call in 2 months that I had received from her for a transplant. The other two did not work out. I went into surgery and after a couple of weeks int he hospital, was sent home.

After a couple of months, people started telling me how my personality had changed. I had become a very happy and outgoing person! Quite the opposite of how I was before.

I am still recovering, but am healthier, stronger, and more full of life than I have been for the longest time! I plan to go back to work for the first time in six years and I owe this all to the love and generosity of my donor!

My family and I are very thankful to you for the gift of a new life and a second chance.

Sincerely and with great appreciation,

The Recipient"

Baby Angel of Mine....It's almost another year. Part of me is very happy, knowing you are safe and in good hands.....the other part of me wants that bubbly Christi to worry about on New Year's Eve.

I love you sweetheart. You have given me such a gift inside my heart. I'm sure you know all that I am talking about right now.

Please spread those beautiful wings of yours....and watch over those that have entered our life....and those that are leaving our lives.

I love you honey....taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.

BOOOOOOOCOOOOOODLES Honey!

Thank you for the gift of you!
All my love,

Hi Sweet Angel of Mine. We're approaching yet another holiday without you here physically, but I assure you that you are very much alive in our hearts! Thank you for the gift of you!

We've carried on the tradition that you started when putting up a tree. We put in Jingle Jams and we dance and sing to it while decorating. Of course, we can't dance and sing quite like you. I'm sure you were giggling at our attempts!

I then took that CD to "my" foster girls and we did the same thing with them. They giggled, laughed, danced and had a wonderful time.

The gift of you spreads to many hearts.

Thank you for you honey!

I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined!

God Bless You Baby Girl!

OH Beautiful Angel of Mine. I felt your wings. I felt tears....but tears, in my opinion, only stem from love. I felt much love for you! I so wished you were with us this Thanksgiving. I felt like you were....but I wanted that PHYSICAL HUG!

You won't believe how much love has stemmed, just because of YOU!

Thank you for that gift honey!

I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.

THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF YOU....WITH ALL MY LOVE...mom

Hi beautiful angel Do you have any clue how you touch so many? Did you get bigger wings in heaven to handle how far they've been spreading? Guess what I'm going to be for Halloween this year...an angel. You'll have to give me a few pointers! I love you so entirely much honey. Could you fly your little self back to me?

Hi Baby Girl: Sunday you were with us, as a prelude for Brent's Birthday. Thank you angel of mine! I woke up at 2:05, your birth date. The "winning Cash 4 Lottery numbers" were 2585: your exact birthday. I don't play the lottery.....but I should, I suppose! Your butterflies were glowing. You were all around here.

I love you sweetheart. I thank God for you. I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.

Thank you for living in my heart! Thank you for being in my life!

God Bless You with much love and peace, mom

Hey Hunny. I love you soooooo much! Derick has the picture of y'all up from the last Halloween the two of you shared... you have on a fluffy white angel halo. THATS exactly how I see you now. Beautiful as always, in a gorgeous white dress with a halo and big beautiful wings. It makes me cry to imagine how beautiful you must be!! I love you so much and hope you had a great day in heaven. I love you and send you the biggest hugs ever!!

Christi,
God sends angels in many forms.
Each time I see a butterfly I see you in all the colors of
flight and fancy free. And...
I'm reminded, once again,
the stages of life
and healing tears through struggles, and celebrations
of loving and being loved... sometimes to say goodbye.
We all shall carry your
memory surrounded by the wings
of angels sent to each of us.
I, too, have been one of God's rebel children, and for reasons
I don't understand, He still surrounds me and reminds me
He is with me always.
I have been so blessed.
Christi, your life, and death,
has deeply touched our family
and so many others lives.
Please peek in on us and whisper hugs to those who hear;
and bump real hard into those who don't :) giggles...
Fly free sweetie ~ I love you
Always Hugs

I was not one of those fortunate enough to know Christi in life…I have come to know her through her death and the life that it has brought to others. I have grown to know Christi through the depth of the love that her mother has for her…a love that is unconditional and surpasses even the most articulate explanations. DD has shared her heart and soul with those that have come to find out about the life and love that Christi shared during her brief time on this earth. I have come to know that Christi was a loyal friend…an understanding shoulder to lean on…someone to share a belly-laugh with…a trusting soul that you could share you deepest secrets with, knowing that they would always be protected and honored…a special “big-sister” who never ran out of time for her brother…a loving daughter and step-daughter that never closed the doors to her parents. Christi was also a young woman that loved to truly “live” her life…she took risks…she shed tears…she worked and played hard…but most of all she allowed herself to “be truly alive” even when it hurt to do it. Christi may only have seen 20-years on this earth…but she saw more in her twenty years than most will see in their lifetimes. She had close friends…a loving family…and a relationship with God. Even now, from heaven, her life reaches down and touches others…organ donor recipients…my 14-year old daughter…missionaries in South America…kids too close to the edge for their own safety…and even this 46-year old father…her smile has warmed my soul on some of my darker days and her mother’s love has strengthened my spirit…and also allowed me to openly share the depth of the love that I feel for my own daughter with another person who so clearly experienced this same type of incredible, unconditional love. Despite her own pain, Christi’s mother has succeeded in spreading Christi’s love to so many others in this world…this “team” of Christi and DD have made this world a better place for all of us…love triumphing over sorrow…life over death…hope over despair…joy over grief…and mostly Heaven triumphing over the bonds of this present realm. God Bless everyone that is lucky enough to encounter this beautiful mother/daughter team! --- Eric from Massachusetts

It's
a celebration of a new life in more ways than one. Christi, you are
spreading your wings in heaven, much like a butterfly going from a
caterpillar, to the cocoon, to the beautifully colored wings of flight.
This site is always spreading its wings. Your father renewed this site,
for life. It will always be here, just like you are, in our hearts.
I thank your dad for doing that. I thank you for remaining alive in all
of us. Your father and I (and many, many others) thank you for your
gift of life to us. Any and all that were blessed to know you, were
blessed with knowing how much you loved others.
Any and all that never met you, are blessed to know you through all of
the love being sent your way.
Your love has angel wings honey. You have touched so many lives. My
goodness girl....you could put the airlines out of business, cuz you
get from one destination to another so quickly, gracefully and
lovingly!
I love you angel of mine. Your father loves you so much. Your friends
and your family love you completely.
Thank you for touching our hearts so.
God Bless You Sweetheart!
With all of our love! Your mom and dad.

Wow- thank you so much for the time I had with you this evening. I dont know what's harder- talking to you mentally, or leaving you to come home. I wanted to pick you up and bring you back with me! I hope you like the pink roses.... but they don't even compare to your beauty. I love you so much and miss you so very bad. I can't believe a year has come and gone. I feel like it was just yesterday, honestly. It's still so hard to believe that "the good ole' days" are gone and that I won't ever see you again until I, too, join our heavenly father. Come meet me when you hear I'm coming, okay? I love you so much, hunny. All my love, big hugs, and kisses.
