Another month comes to an end, and with that, it's time to hold in memory the folks that have left us too soon. Today we recall:

Thinking of my Mom who passed away on November 21,1996. Also the families of Mary (Willy) Wilmers, Scott Dickson, Jim Jolly. It's hard to say good-bye to a loved one but we need to hold on to all those wonderful memories.

- Chris, Guine, and Greg

For my buddies Jay Sonnleitner and Robert "Moses" Ramsey of Appleton & Oshkosh WI who both passed on Nov 18 2009. Two more unique lights who will shine on this Earth no more.

In memory of my friend's son, Dustin Chatam Minix, who died unexpectedly on Thanksgiving day at age 18. I'm told he was sitting on the couch talking on the phone when he suddenly died. Always a tragedy when someone with most of their life in front of them passes on.

Remembering my son, Andy, who would have been 45 on November 8. He's been gone 10 years but we miss him every day. Also, my parents, Don and Betty Rogers, who would have celebrated 68 years of marriage on November 23. Missing them every day.

In memory of my dear friend and sister-in-law Faith Zobel who died November 14,2009. She was a special lady and will be missed by all who loved her.

Remembering our step-father Robert L. Smith of Clinton Twp. MI, who passed away 10 years ago on this date.
Thanks to his generosity, our family enjoys 10 acres + of beautiful forested woodland and a summer home in Kalkaska county MI

In loving memory of my dear Aunt Joyce Sorvala Suo, who passed
away in Jacobsville this month. She was a joy to be around and
taught us all the gift of laughter. I will miss you forever Aunt Joyce
and I will never forget you!

Remembering my grandpa, Joseph Butala who passed away Nov. 5th, 1972. Still miss him and think of him.

MY WIFE OF 55 YEARS BERNEICE NICHOLAS WHO WENT HOME TO BE WITH HER LORD AND SAVIOR ON AUG 10, 2009. OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY, BIRTHDAYS, THANKSGIVING, AND CHRISTMAS WITHOUT HER. MY LIFE PARTNER

Remembering all of our family members and loved ones who have passed away over the years. Sometimes we don't realize how badly we will miss them until they are gone. And also remembering our beloved St. Bernard, "Lucy" who passed away 11 days ago from bone cancer, we will never forget her.

Remembering my Grand-Mother Cecilia Kowalski who passed and left a big void Nov.6,1960, also my uncle Leonard Kowalski who took off from the air strip near Crystal Falls Nov 12,1999, and was never found.

In loving memory of my dear friend Norma Richardson. Who passed just 2 weeks ago. May she rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.

DaveofMohawk, a loss of a loved family member such as Lucy is just as painful as anyone else as family and friends are. I'm so sorry to hear about Lucy's passing. Today, two years ago at 9:35 a.m. our 10 1/2 yr. old Doberman Pinscher, Lucky, went into eternal sleep because of heart failure declining his health. Still today my heart is crushed.

My Grandpa, Milton Warner, passed in 1993. He was my hero. I miss you!!!

From Conversations with God:
I believe God wants you to know...

....that death does not exist. The soul lives forever and ever, and even forever more.

Has someone you know and loved died recently? Celebrate that person's Continuation Day! They have moved in Consciousness and Beingness to a place of wonderful renewal and remembering, where all that we have "forgotten" here is once more understood and experienced. It is a time of great happiness.

And know, too, that you will be seeing that beloved person again, and you will laugh and dance and sing and hug and smile and talk endlessly about "the good old days," and you will share an even larger kind of love than you could ever know upon the Earth, and all of both of your lives will suddenly make sense as you see how you shaped an important part of each other's Journey.And it will be a Blessing, this enhanced awareness, and you will abide in peace and joy.

Almost forgot. In memory of my great-grandfather, John Baird, who died Nov. 10, 1934. Over the years, he was elected a township supervisor, state representative, state senator, delegate to Michigan's 1908 Constitutional Convention, and appointed first head of the Michigan Conservation Dept. (now the DNR).

As Mary mentioned, we remember Don Ross.

He and his wife Nellie started the Crisp Point Light Historical Society http://www.crisppointlighthouse.org/
and saved this wonderful lighthouse from certain destruction.

But far beyond that, Don was a wonderful man who was always doing things for others. He is now with Nellie, in the arms of his Lord.

My husband lost his best friend in Gwinn Bill Bollero. He passed away from cancer on November 10th. He put up a tremendous fight for 7 years & Rick will miss going out to camp,rabbit & deer hunting & just having him there as a great friend.
I'd like to remember our friends & relatives who have gone before us. Sometimes you don't appreciate someone until they're gone & then it's too late. So call, give them a hug or kiss & just tell your loved ones you love them while you can.

Remembering my mom, Betty Ravasz, who passed away 9 yrs ago Nov 18.

Janie T. (Bobbysgirl) Thank you for understanding.

Saddened by the Iraq civilian deaths, ranging anywhere from
94,000 to 102,000.

In memory of my grandfathers, Mala and Tapio. Also in memory of Ray Wiig, Lee Sjoholm, Gina Maki, Bob Maki, Beth Forslund, and Brynn Pieschel.

In loving memory of my dear husband Bob Easker, who passed away 11 years ago on Thanksgiving .
