In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

In Remembering our service men and women that Walter records every month of this list the average age is a 24.32 years old, as in the past it is a lost generation. Please pray for the family's of these and loved one's who also fought for OUR freedom in the past.

Remembering our parents Norman and Helen Pooley, Ed and Sophie Kuusisto, Aunt Lyle Pooley, our sister in law and dear friend Phyllis Kuusisto, Karen Kuusisto, Janet Trasti, our good buddy Nitz Kumpula, our nephew "The Chief" Churchill, our niece Bailey Hartmann, our brother in law and friend Wayne Hartmann and our dear sweet baby girl, Annie Kuusisto. We love and miss you all so much.

Sadly missing my Mother and her sweet Alabama kindness. 10/11/22 - 10/4/09.

Remembering my brother-in-law, Glenn, who went to seek our Lord together with my Mother. 1/20/38 - 10/2/09.

My parents, my grandparents and my uncle, and two (2) brothers, who passed away, way to young.

Remembering John S Michener (1942-1990). You are still sadly missed everyday. I wish I could still share my struggles and joys with you. Someday.....

Remembering my dad, John Wayne Hill, who passed away on October 15th, 2010. We miss him so much, but we know he is with our mother now and is no longer suffering. God bless you, Dad.

Remembering family friend Leona Weiss of Ahmeek who passed away in September. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family--Don, Donnie, Cheryl, and Nora.

Remembering my Mom Betty Ewen Beaudoin who passed away 20 years ago on October 28,1990 from a battle of lung cancer. I miss you as much today as yesterday Mom.
Also I'd like to remember my cousin Bobby Burbank 58 years old from Gas City, Indiana who passed away on October 19,2010 while vacationing in Aruba with his wife. Our family will miss Bob's great smile & his loving ways.

Remembering cousin George Grau who went Home last week just short of his 88th birthday. He and his twin brother Charlie are Halloween babies, so this is a bittersweet day. He was talented and loving and lived a full life.

Rest in peace George ~

Remembering three dear friends lost to me this year. Wyonne Wheeler, Jeanne Deephouse and John Proctor. They were all great people and in my thoughts daily. God Bless them and take care of them. Theresa

In memory of our father John Dorvinen who has been gone now for
8 years. 7/27/43-10/8/2002.
Love, Mike, Jim, Charlie, and Teri

Remembering my mother Kathryn Geshel Michel who passed away October 18, 2004.

I'm remembering my father-in-law, Al, who passed away on October 23, 2003. He was such a great guy and we all still miss him. He was my husband's step-father, but you'd never know it. He treated all of the boys as if they were his own.

I was just looking at the picture for the day (which is wonderful, by the way) and then reading the other posts. I guess I should have done that first so that I could tell Richard J how sorry I am for the awful year he's had. You have my deepest sympathy. Nobody should have to go through that much is such a short time. It's always hard to lose somebody we care about, but that many in such a short period of time had to be terrible:(

I agree with Deb, Richard my deepest sympathy, keep your head up friend!

Richard Even though I was an altar boy for many years, it has been TOO many years to remember my Latin. Would you care to share a translation with us?

In loving memory of my wife Linda who died on October 18, 1989.

DickinGrayling,
Might as well make a trio of Richards, from Wikipedia I found the following:

May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.

In the services for the dead, this antiphon is sung in procession on the way from the final blessing of the corpse in church to the graveyard where burial takes place.

Our condolances to Gloria North, but we know they are celebrating his homecoming in heaven. Matt was Mimi's cousin.

Grace Paull Houle, raised in Amheek, went home to our Lord and her family Oct. 21st, 2010. Miss you Aunt Grace.

Opps, I spelled Ahmeek wrong and I know better!!

Remembering my Uncle Paul Laplander of Sault Ste. Marie, who left us at age 89 on this October 22nd. Now there are only 3 remaining of 14 of my Moms siblings. All children of the late Emil & Mary Laplander of Woodside/Dollar Bay.

Also Oct. 22nd was my dads birthday. He would have been 96.

Loving and missing my 90 year old grandma, Cathlene who passed away earlier this month. It won't be the same without you!
