Sam, you are the grandfather we never met, but still you are in our hearts each and every day. We have spent hours upon hours searching for just a single trace of your existence. We know you were here once; that you lived and breathed, laughed and cried, worked and strived just as we do …Samual David Thompson

We have been told that you had a great sense of humor, and we know you loved your little son, Arnold, and your baby daughter, “Cocky,” or Colleen. We know you served your country proudly with the Red Raiders and went off to two wars…

Still, barely a whisper of you remains — except for maybe the slight trace of you in the faces of your family, and your image on a few old, tattered photographs. Not a record, not a report, not even a friend or acquaintance is here to tell us more…

We do not know what happened to you and we always wonder about the man we know so little about — the sound of your voice, your thoughts, your dreams… Someday, we hope to all know the circumstances of your life and to tell you that you were not forgotten and we always loved you…

Hi Sweet Pea!
I’ve enclosed a dozen of colorful balloons and a dozen of purple roses. I’m so sorry I haven’t written sooner. I didn’t realize that it’s been so long since we last talked. I hope you are doing well! I miss and love you so much. I think about you everyday and wonder what you are doing. I hope Papa Red, Grandpa Joe, and Uncle Butch have taken you fishing. VIckie and I went fishing last weekend on Brian’s boat and we had so much fun. I thought a lot about Papa Red and fishing with him. I sure did have a lot of fun with him; just as you are now. Vickie is doing well in bowling, she received a patch the other weekend for 120 series, she bowled a 122. I’m so proud of her. Please tell Papa about that. I know that he would be proud of her too. I wish he was here to help her like he did for me when I was bowling. Things here are going good. Vickie is doing really good in school, she made the Honor Roll with straight A’s. She’s finally made several new friends, they are really nice. She’s still into Barbie’s, Fashion Polly’s, bowling and now she really enjoys going fishing on the Bass boat. Grandma Jackie is not doing well, though. She has some good days, but not very many. Her eye sight not like it used to be and she now needs to have hip replacement; I’m not sure when or if she will go through with it. Time will tell. I hate seeing her in so much pain. I wish that I could fix her, but this time it’s out of my hands. It tears my heart to see her this way. And for Aunt Dee Dee……well I have a new job now and I really like it. It’s nice to go to work where every one is friendly and fun. I’m still a Medical Receptionist. You know Aunt Dee Dee, gotta love all that paper work…ha ha. I met this guy named Brian. He and I have been together since May 20th and we are doing great. He was 3 boys, Zachary who is 13, Christopher who is 12 and Ryan who is 8. They are all good kids. I really enjoy spending time with them, despite them being irritating. But what are boys for anyway. As for Brian…well he’s a really nice guy and a good person. I couldn’t ask for a better person. I really do love him. I find myself thinking about him all the time. I’m so happy when we are together and sad when we are apart. Hopefully within the next year he and I will be living together. Well, Pumpkin…..It’s getting late and you need your sleep. I will write soon. I love you very much and miss you lots too!!! Please give Papa Red a hug and a kiss for me and tell him that I love and miss him very much. Give my love to everyone. Love always and Forever, Aunt Dee Dee

Hi Sweetheart,
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday sweet Nicole. Happy Birthday to you. I wonder what you would be like. You would have been 5 today and starting Kindergarten this fall. Your sister Jessica is 3 now and you will be having another sibling in a few days. Are you enjoying your time with Papa Red? and Great Grandpa Joe and Great Grandpa George? Your Mother and I have been thinking a lot about you. We are thinking of using Nicole as a middle name if this baby becomes another sister of yours as a name sake. I hope you don’t mind and I’m sure that you don’t as you were and i sure still are always so happy. Oma, Papa Carlos, Jessica, Aunt Chris, Uncle Potatohead (Jimmy), Uncle Jay, Cousins Caitlyn and Jenna, Grandma, Aunt Debbie and Cousin Vicki all wish you a very Happy Birthday and have been thinking about you. Well I will write again as soon as I can because it’s getting late and I want you to get some rest.
Love always,
Daddy, Mommy, Jessica and Baby.
P.S. I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday Sweetheart. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t wish you were with us.

Dear Nicole,
Hi there Sweet Pea. I can’t believe that it’s been so long since I last wrote you. I’m so sorry. I promise to write more often. I’m sending you a dozen pink roses and several pink and white balloons and 1 Red balloon to give to Papa. I hope all is going well for you. Things could be better here. I thought that Texas would be better that it is. I wished so much that I has stayed in Florida. I feel and I think I will always want to be in Florida. It’s my home and it will always be home to me. I’ve already told Grandma Jackie that once I get the money and once she gets to feeling better and can get around better I’m going back to Florida. I feel as if I don’t belong here in more ways then one. Since the last time that I talked with you there’s been so much going on. Vickie is know in 4th grade and it doing so well. She started bowling in September. She’s come along way in just 4 weeks. Vickie has this natural curve that she throws. I wish that Papa Red was here to see it. I wish that I could give her some tips, but I don’t know how to throw a curve ball. She has league on Saturdays and if I have the extra money, we go on Sunday to practice. I’m hoping by next fall my wrist is strong enough to start bowling on league again. I really miss bowling league. Vickie will bowl either the 2nd or 3rd week in Austin in competition. I know that she will do really well. I’ve never seen her more happier when she’s out there bowling. Grandma Jackie is doing good considering. She has been sick since Feb. of this year. Her eyes started giving her problems. She almost went blind. But luckily with the help of a very good and dedicated Doctor Grandma’s eyes are doing better. It’s a slow process, but she has come a long way. Grandma is still working at the golf course. She to likes the people that she works with, and also thinks the pay stinks. I’m doing OK. I’ve been with this new company since Dec. 2001. I do like the people that I work with. They are really cool people. The pay stinks here though. I hope you are looking after Dakota Puppy for me. I miss him very much. How is Papa Red doing? Good I hope. I wish that I could just see you and Papa and hold you one more time and tell you how much I miss and love you. There’s not a moment in each and everyday that I don’t think about you or Papa. I love you very much. Please give Papa a hug and a kiss for me Good Night Sweet Angel. Hugs and Kisses…..XOXOXOXOXOX’s
All My Love,
Aunt Debbie :o)

“Happy Birthday to you…..Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear NICOLE…..Happy Birthday to you.” (I have enclosed a dozen long stem purple roses and a huge balloon arrangement ……..you know Aunt Deb, gotta love them balloons.) It’s so hard to believe that you just turned 3. Just seems like yesterday that you Daddy called and said that you were born. Time is flying by. I wish that you could be here to celebrate. I miss you and love you so much. I really miss your smile. No matter what kind a day anyone had, you always smiled and made it better. I think of you often and wonder what you would be like. Jessie takes after both your Mommy and Daddy. She has Mommy’s attitude and she’s destructive just like your Daddy. Your Mommy, Jess, Vickie and I are starting to go bicycle riding now. Jess loves it, but then again why wouldn’t she, all she has to do is just sit there and enjoy the ride, while the rest of us has to EXERCISE (yuck). Are you taking care of Papa for me? Please tell him that I love him and miss him very much. I wish that he could be here. Oh, I received my Diploma from college a couple of weeks ago. I have it hanging above my desk. Grandma Jackie and I are starting to look for our own house. Wish us luck in finding a good house. Well, not much else is happening right. I’ll write you soon. Take care of yourself and everyone for me. Happy Birthday Sweetpea and don’t ever stop smiling. Love always and Forever, Aunt Debbie :o)

Hi Punkin Head…..
How are things going?  Good I hope.  I hope you and Papa got the balloon that I sent you on Valentine’s Day. Grandma Jackie and I watched the balloon go up, up, up, and way up, until we couldn’t see it anymore.  I’ve sent you and Papa a dozen of red roses.  I love you guys very much.  Are you taking good care of Papa Red for me?  Would you please tell Papa that I miss him very much.  Things here are going OK.  It’s been real hard, but I’m managing it slowly.  I take one day at a time.  I wish that you and Papa were here, but I understand that God needed the both of you.  Jessica is doing very good.  It’s hard to believe that your sister is already 8 and 1/2 months old.  Jessica’s very thing to do is dance.  Your Mommy has named her the hula girl.  She’s got a mean set of hips on her..Ha Ha.   Oh guess what, Vickie starts soccer next week.  So look for her.  You can’t miss her, just listen for Jessica laughing.  She thinks it’s funny to watch Vickie jump around.   I’ll talk with you soon.  I love you.  I’ve also sent a really, really big, big hug. Love always and Forever, Aunt Deb  :o)

Hi Sweetie,
I’ve been thinking a lot about you. I’ve sent you a pretty pink, yellow and red pointsetta. I’ve also enclose a big hug and kiss for you from me. I miss you very much. Grandma, Vickie and I have moved in with your Daddy and Mommy. We thought things would be better if we come out to Texas, since Grandpa Red is with you now. Nicole, you would be so proud of your little sister. She’s so beautiful, just like you. She was a lot of you in her, but of course with her own traits. I know that you are watching over her. Anyway, I bet you had a great Christmas with Grandpa Red, Aunt Marie, Uncle Butch, and all your Great Grandparents and all the little friends that you have made. Did Grandpa Red take you fishing yet???? Make sure that he baits your hook. He always did that for me. I bet you can con Uncle Butch into taking the fish of your hook. I’ve been giving a lot thought about bring Grandpa Red out here. I know that he will like it here, with all the trees, hills, creeks, and all the animals. It would probably remind him of home. The more I thought about it, the more I think Grandpa would be happier there with his son, Mommy, Sister and with Great Grandma and Grandpa Bork. Please give Grandpa Red and hug and a kiss from me and tell him that I miss him very much. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. I hope you have fun on New Year’s Eve, with all the fireworks. That was Grandpa Red’s and my favorite thing to do. Take care of everyone for me.
Love always and Forever,
Keep Smiling, :o)
Aunt Debbie

Hey punky girl. I have visted before but have been unable to leave you flowers. I have really missed you and so has your father. I have watched your cousin Caitlyn and it makes me wonder what you would be like. But you had your own personality. Your sister is sweet just like you but your daddy and I still miss you very much and I hope you know this. Give your grandpa a kiss. We are leaving you a dozen pink roses and this reminds me and your daddy so much of you. Take care and we hope to have you home with us soon. XOXOXOXOXOXOXO.
Love your Mommy and Daddy.

Hi Sweet Pea,
It’s been a couple months. Grandma, Vickie and I were out to see you and Grandpa Red, Great Grandpa Joe, Great Grandma Florence, Great Granny, Uncle Butch, and Aunt Marie in August. Sorry that we were able to give you flowers. We didn’t have a ladder or the long hook to hand up your vase. So we gave Papa a little basket of flowers and told him that he had to share with you. I hope you are having a lot of fun playing. I miss you so much. I just wanted to send you a big ole hug and a kiss. And, since I couldn’t leave flowers to you at the cemetery, I wanted to leave you a dozen of pink roses. I’ve also enclosed a single yellow rose for Grandpa and a hug and kiss. Can you please give it to him for me? We all miss you and love you lots. Take care of everyone for me. Keep Smiling.
Love always, Aunt Debbie

Hi Nicole,
It’s been a while. Been thinking a lot about you. I hope you are taking care of Grandpa for me. We miss you both tremendously. I’ve sent you and Grandpa a dozen roses, a big hug and a kiss. Make sure you give them to him. I love you both deeply. Take care of each other. Keep Smiling. Love Always, Aunt Debbie


20 May, 2000
Here are 12 long stem pink roses just for you. Give one to Grandpa and tell him that I love him and make sure that he gives you a hug from me. Love always, Daddy and Mommy :o)
PS: I’m sorry that it’s been so long since I wrote you. Good bye for now.

Our little sweet angel.
In the short time you were with us you have touched so many hearts and lives. There are not enough words to describe the love that you have given. When the sun shines its brightest, the sky is baby blue and clear, when the birds sing their soft sweet chirps and when the flowers have bloomed I know that you are looking down upon us and smiling your sweet smile. You will never be forgotten, for you will always be our pretty little angel. We love you Sweetpea!
With all our love,

She was 8 months and 9 days old. She had a wonderful smile and cute little laugh. She may have been young but touched a lot of hearts. She didn’t discriminate in any way. She loved everyone. She never had any fits unless she was tired or not feeling well. She was daddy’s little sweet pea and mommy’s punky girl. She had hair that was curly and wild and eyes that were as big as the sun and just as curious.

Now she is our little angel that saved 9 lives including ours.

She was loved by all that met her, but especially her mommy and daddy.

Now Sleep Litte Angel and remember we love you.

10 years now. This is the only place that i know of to leave any flowers for you. It seems like so long ago. Everything does, youth and innocence, and yet sometimes it seems like yesterday. If i could reach out and grab it again i would. I don’t know how to get ahold of your mom. i have tried with no luck. I have two beautiful children now and they are the light of my world. I have this picture that your mom sent me when i got married of you, it’s just small and i put it in my nightstand, but for some reason, my son takes it out all the time and puts it up on top of the nightstand. i will come in from school and there it will be. I have to laugh..and then cry. I still miss all the time. I can’t look at pictures of you without crying. but i know that even if given the chance you wouldn’t come back to this hateful world. How i love you Kat and always will. The time i had you and what you taught me about friendship i will always cherish and hold dear in my heart. May your smile light the heavens above. i love you B.F.F.A.A. Shel

Wow. I can’t believe it has been seven years. Where has the time gone. The time when we were so young and had nothing to worry about. I think about you often and of all these years of living life without you i have never found another best friend like you. You will remain in my heart for all times. I love you so. and miss you so. There will come a day when we will all be together again. When miles and time are no object. Until then make beautiful music in heaven. I love you. Shel

Dear Kat’s Mom,

When the French Poet Victor Hugo lost his beloved daugther, he wrote: “There is no worst torments, than surviving to your own children.”

I can feel your pain and I understand it very well. Be brave and strong, just like Kat would have needed you to be. You were there for her, now you may rest a little, she’s taking care of you. Just let her love reach you deeply in your heart.

Keep faith in the Reunion Day !

It’s so hard to believe it’s been a year since you left us. I think of you everyday and I miss you more than words can say. I think about all the times we had together and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to hold you for a time. Letting go of you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life and I’m not sure I ever will be able to truly let you go. You live in my heart and in my mind and I will always cherish and love you. I still wait for the day to see you again.

All my love forever,

Kat,

I dropped by to see your monument that your mom and trey left you. It’s nice. Man I miss you and can’t wait to see you. I think about you every day and know that you watch over me. I guess what always bothered me is that I never got to tell you bye and that I loved you very much and always will. I know and have excepted now that nothing can or will bring you back to me and that I have to go on (I know that is what you’d want) the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that one day we’ll be together again for eternity. Untill then be brave. hey Love will find a way right (ha ha he he) Well there’s not much more to say. I love you very much no one will ever ever take your place. I promise. There will always be a special place in my heart for you and you alone.

With all my love always,

For Kat-  

     I held your hand   
     as you learned to walk    
     and with tiny fingers,    
     you held my heart.   
     I wiped the tears  
     whenever you fell    
     and picked you up   
     for you to go again.   
     As the years passed by,    
     I watched you grow   
     tall, strong, beautiful,   
     and full of life.   
     Sometimes we laughed,   
     sometimes we cried,   
     holding on to each other   
     through the good and bad times.   
     So sure of yourself    
     and determined to fly,   
     you tried out your wings    
     and vanished into the night.    
     The shadows have darkened,  
     no longer warmed by your light;    
     Your memory is close   
     but you're no where in sight.    
     You know I will miss you    
     with each passing day    
     and hold you close to me    
     and love you always.   

     I love you, Kitten

It’s been a lonely Christmas without you for all of us, I missed seeing you opening presents and wearing the latest goalie top that took your fancy. Anneka is growing up to be a real beauty and with a real attitude, your mum and I could do with you keeping her admirers at arms length. Hope your Grandad is keeping you sharp in goal ready for your dad to take some shots at you whenever that may be. You’ll always be in my thoughts mate, I miss you so much son.. (Dad)

To the boy who was so brave and strong. I hope you are safe in heaven now and waiting to see your family again. Even though I don’t know you, your death has touched me very much. Rest in peace. Holly Bowry, England.

Happy freedom day, beautiful Matthew.
Looks like my precious Taylor is coming your way sometime in the next few months. Would sure love for you to greet him with your wonderful smile, high fives and a footrace between the stars. You are missed, you are loved. And your parents, your sister, are a wonder, a miracle, a gift to all of us still in pain… With love and lifelong admiration…

Mathew:
I hope you have met with my darling Brianna. She joined you in Heaven Dec.30, 1999. The two of you should make quite a pair. Rest easy and peacefully. Your family was very lucky to have been chosen to host you while you were on this earth. Send strength and guidance to your loved ones.

What can I say that hasn’t been said before. Your Mother and I, and of course Anneka, are thinking of you today as it has been a whole year since we said goodbye to you. We will be remembering today your fit and healthy days when you didn’t have a care in the world and also the last 23 months of your life when you battled bravely against the cancer. We miss you so much.

Your Mum and I visited your memorial in Hendon this afternoon. It had been a while since I last went there although your mum has been regularly. I missed you more than ever today, hope your goalkeeping is still coming along wherever you are, I miss having you around especially our kickabouts in the garden and wish I appreciated those moments much more.

Mathew, your courage and strength should be a comfort to each of us — you didn’t go without a struggle and although you weren’t victorious in this battle; know that the fight continues.

Matthew’s Poems

Standing by the Brook
By Matthew Tait, 11th March 1998.

Dripping,
sliding,
trickling,
gliding.

Two squirrels jumping and fighting
people passing by and talking.

Glitter,
sparkle,
moving,
shining.

Tree shadows and reflections
crows squawking, blackbirds singing.

————————————————————

Totteridge pond

Magnificent view like a motion picture film.
Willow trees hanging down.
Cow parsley like mint in chocolate.
Complete silence apart from the birds singing in the trees.
Butterflies dodging in the plants.
Blazing red hawthorn staring right at me.
Little artist painting the shiny pond.
Ducks trailing in a row quacking, quacking, quacking.

age 10

Grandpop,
It is so hard for me to realize that it will be a while before we see each other again. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I do thank God that I had you in my life longer then Grandmom, but it still doesn’t take the hurt I feel away. I still cry when I think of you. And I know that I shouldn’t, because I know that you are happy to be with Grandmom again and without pain. I just can’t help it. I am not dealing with your being so far away at all well. I love you and miss you so much. You truely mean so much to me and my family. I love you Grandpop.
Love,
Jane Marie
