I'M SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR SON. I LOST DEREK IN IA WHEN HE WAS KILLED BY A SNOWPLOW IN 12-21-04 HE WAS 20. DEREK KNEW HOW TO DRIVE A SEMI ALSO AND HE HAD WRECKED MANY OF CAR'S INCLUDING MINE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT YOUR LITTLE GUY WOULD HAVE BEEN AS FAR AS A RACER. WE WERE RAISED IN NHRA AND SPRINT CAR'S. I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR FRIEND AND I NOW LIVE IN MAINE BUT MY OTHER SON IS IN IA VISITING HIS DAD. HERE IS MY EMAIL AND DEREK'S WEB SITE.. MAYBE WE CAN MEET SOMEDAY WHEN I COME HOME TO VISIT. LOVE FROM THE HEART BRENDA AND DEREK WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/DEREK_GEIBE MINE IS---- ILLEGALSMILE20@YAHOO.COM
I know the grief we all bear seems at times too much to bear. I wanted to share a story with you. We worry about our loved one being forgotten. My daughter got this idea that she wanted to contact my son Billy's friends after 38 years and tell them about the site. She talked to some Army friends and school classmates as well. All the years did not take their memories away. They remember my Billy. I was amazed that his memory was indeed living on. They love him still. I thought this was so heartwarming to know that Billy is remembered. It comforted her knowing that her son will always be remembered too. My son and my grandson will be forever young and forever remembered in the lives of others and that is the best medicine I could ever receive for my broken heart. I still grieve for Billy and for Dusty that is only only because I loved them and miss them. Sometimes love hurts and this is one of those times. Memories of Billy are still so fresh it is just like yesterday that I last saw my baby boy. God has blessed me with so many precious memories that are mine and nobody can take them. So I look at the pain that I endure as part of the loving process because without the pain I would have never loved. I want to thank each one of you who light candles for Billy. It is really hard for me to light because all this computer stuff is Greek to me, but each day I say prayers for all of you. God has never failed me yet and God has brought you to me and I thank Him daily.
Remember you loved one will be never be forgotten, how blessed.

A life so young / April (sister)
"A life so young released to heaven . . . Left on earth, we wonder 'Why?' But some are sent among us briefly; Some have spirits meant to fly." ~Author Unknown Close
Just for today, I will try to live through the next 24 hours...not expecting to get over my child's death, but learning to live with it...one day at a time
Just for today, I'll remember my child's life, not his death, and bask in the comfort of the treasured days and moments we shared.
Just for today, I will forgive all the family and friends who didn't help or comfort me the way I needed them to. They truly did not know how.
Just for today, I will reach out to comfort a relative or friend of my child. For they are hurting too, and perhaps we can help each other.
Just for today, I will free myself from my self-inflicted burden of guilt. For deep in my heart, I know if there was anything in this world I could have done to save my child from death, I would have done it.
Just for today, I will honor my child's memory by doing something with another child, be it my own, or someone else's, because I know that would make my child proud.
Just for today, I will offer my hand in friendship to other bereaved parents, for I DO know how they feel.
Just for today, I will smile...no matter how much I hurt on the inside...for maybe if I smile a little, my heart will soften and I will begin to heal.
Just for today, I will allow myself to be happy and enjoy myself, for I know I am not deserting my child by moving on.
Just for today, I will accept that I did NOT die when my child did. My life did go on and I am the ONLY one who can make that life worthwhile again.
I miss ya Taylor / Kendra (Friend)
Hey Taylor, wow. Its been a long time since I've seen you. I would give almost anything to talk to you and Caleb for one more day. Just one more time to hang out at Spinnin' Wheels, or anywhere. I remember how we used to have so much fun. You, Caleb, Me, and Tiffany. I remember how when I stayed with Tiff and You or Caleb stayed at each other's house we used to talk on the phone all night. We all love and Miss you. With love, Kendra Close
I know, as surely as I know how to breathe, that you are with me always. You are closer to me now than ever before and the only difference is that instead of opening my eyes to see you, now I must open my heart.
Tributes and Condolences
