7/10/2012 * Karen * Gene, Esophageal Cancer * Joshua, 28 * Gene was diagnosed on July 12, 2011 and died 354 days later. We were married 30 years. I know he is with the Lord and know I will join him when my time here is done. I miss him immensely, but am very grateful for the time we had – he completed me and I don’t know how to fill the hole left in my life when he died. Our prayer was and remains that God be glorified in the way we handle Gene’s illness, his death and the grief that has followed.
07/11/2012 * Beth * Chris, suicide * Hillary, 15; Jonny, 12; Hannah, 7 * We miss you so much. Wish we could've said good bye.
7/12/2009 * Megan * Matt - drowned * Jacob, turned 18 the next day.
7/14/2012 * Joan * Duke, age 60, died from Glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of primary brain tumor. * Devoted husband to Joan,61, loving dad to Kara 37, Jared 33, Brett 32. Beloved Pop to Cameron, Brynn, and Colton. * We shared our lives together from the age of 16. I will love and miss him til the day we are reunited in heaven.

7/15/2012 * Lucy * Edry, died from early-onset frontotemporal dementia * children from first marriage Nelida (31), Edry J (29); my children that he adopted: Michelle (34), William (32), Joey (30) * Edry was diagnosed in June of 2008. He rapidly declined in 4 years. He died at 55. We were married 22 years. Dementia and Alzheimer’s steals the most important part of dying and that’s the memories. It became one-sided. I reminded him of all the memories I could, even on his death day. Nothing hurt more than watching him die with no memory of us, of me. I miss his laugh, his excitement of the Lord, his silliness. I can’t wait till I see him again. * Chicago, IL
7/16/2010 * Carol * Steve - aortic dissection * Elizabeth, 23; Phillip, 20 * The week my husband died, he said he felt closer to the Lord than he ever had before. I now strive daily to have that same kind of relationship with the Lord since my husband's passing

He left us a gift of memories, a twinkle in his eye that one would never forget, a laugh that could be heard in the next room, a heart and love for Christ.
