At 9:53pm on October 23, 2016, Lynne Garcia said…: Thank you for your support.I know died to me seems harsh. So I usually just say passed. I'm sorry for your loss. To me it just gets harder and harder each day. People say oh it gets better over time,but I told my mom not for me. She said yeah I know. He was her baby the youngest. We still wait for his call around 2:00am after last call to pick him up at the casino. We live on a reservation and have a casino. I never realized that he was a big part of our lives.

At 5:55pm on September 26, 2016, Diamond said…: I hold onto the many beautiful thoughts I have of my Brother. He was overworked and tired - when he was found in his vehicle. He had such a beautiful spirit about himself. You too, Elyse - hold onto the many cherished moments you shared with your brother; knowing that all of the pain we are feeling now - will soon be a thing of the past, according to Revelation 21:3,4. Hold onto the hope you find in your Bible. Just knowing, that our Heavenly Father will re-unite us in the near future brings me so much joy in my heart with that hope that lives within me. (John 5:28, 29)

At 5:16pm on September 26, 2016, Diamond said…: Hello, Elyse - feel free to scroll through any of my posting. Yes, I do have a strong spiritual belief and it is what keep me in a healthy frame of mind with all of the promises given to us by our Heavenly Father. So, I am happy to know that I was able to offer you some sort of comfort. If you have any additional questions - feel free to message me. I am still learning how to navigate on this site.

At 10:18am on September 20, 2016, Rich Rojas said…: Thanks for the warm welcome.

At 8:53am on September 20, 2016, Ruth Evans said…: Elyse thanks for your kind comments. He was the love of my life for 22yrs.

At 8:02am on September 9, 2016, Charles E. Nelson said…: Thank you Elyse - it's so kind of you to say so, and very nice to hear from you! I do hope you are doing well, and you remain in my thoughts and prayers always - have a peaceful weekend my friend -

Love, Chuck

At 11:41pm on August 21, 2016, Barbara Rieger said…: Elyse, it was really kind of you for sending me the address to place on google to get the photo and words posted. By mistake I've taken a screenshot. Yet I don't know how to do it consciously

What do I click on to do that? Thanks so very much Barbara .
