Thank you for lighting so many candle on Roisin's website. Our thoughts and love are with you too in the loss of your beautiful "Little Prince". We send you positive thoughts, strength and courage. Someday, you will see his lovely face in a place where there are no words that mean goodbye.

 

In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

  Hi Roger, hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!  Send your mom great big hugs and kisses. 

 

I wasn't able to add a pic to the graphic, but still wanted to leave you a lil something for Valentine's Day. Love to you always Roger <3

 

 

 

 

As a stranger, I feel your pain and wanted to express my deepest condolences in the loss of your handsome son. The first year is one that will encompass so many emotions. The grief can be absolutely overwhelming and then the denial can make us crazy!!

Our son died of blunt force trauma to his head five days after he was ejected from his car during a tragic accident. Speed was involved and at 18, Andrew believed that he was exempt from all snap decisions...that one was the last decision that he will ever make as it was fatal. Those five days in ICU were tough...I knew that he wasn't going to wake up. I worked as a Respiratory Therapist for many years and unfortunately, knew that all the signs of life were not ever present again, not from the moment I saw Andrew in the emergency room.

He died three and a half years ago, and even though the pain is still there, the emptiness and the void always present, our lives have returned to a semi normal state. Our daughters (27 and 17) speak openly about their brother and laugh at the things he said or did. It is so much easier now to tell people that not only is it OK to mention Andrew's name...we WANT to hear it and would appreciate an opportunity to speak of our son/brother in respecting his memory.

May God Bless you and your family and I wish only warm thoughts and gentle hugs for your son who is grieving the loss of his brother. They were so close in age...life isn't always fair, but it's the only one we have. I will keep him in my prayers as well.

Blessings to you,

I just wanted to say thank you for the messages you take the time to write on my son's site.  When my days are the hardest it seems that I always receive a message from you and I really appreciate it.  I lost my two oldest sons, Matt (age 19) and Jon (age 18) in a tragic car accident on 9/11/2008.  That day my life changed forever and a piece of me went with them.  Although I have three other wonderful children and a beautiful granddaugther still here with me, I will never get over the loss of my sons, I will just get through it counting the days until I am reunited with them.  Tragedy was something I was never faced with until now and although I have much to love for my sons are on my mind every second of every day.  Again, thank you for your encouraging words. 

 

I just try to focus on God's promise of eternal life and hope that you do too.  You are in my thoughts and prayers as well.

May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And within, may contentment answer all your wishes.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who love and miss dear Roger, especially to his very precious Mom. Your sweet angel was certainly a very handsome man and his warm smile captured my heart instantly. You have created a beautiful tribute to honor Roger's memory, and I can clearly tell by the many beautiful heart warming candles from his Mom just how loved and missed he is. I wish there was something I could say to ease your heartache, I know how hard this journey is, i only pray that you find some comfort knowing that others care. God Bless~Edwina Mitchell mum of angel Troy.
