Lynn was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother and friend. A person you noticed as soon as she walked in the room. A person who's beautiful laugh lit up your face. Who's sense of humor could never be equaled. A person who loved and loved deep. A person who was a friend no matter what and had nothing but compassion. A person who did not judge. A person who felt family meant everything and you were sometimes jealous because you were not actually family. A person who gave more than she got. A person who's hug and kiss made you feel immediately comfortable. A person who rarely, if ever, forgot an occasion. A person who would talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere. A person who knew by instinct that you did not feel good, or was upset, hurt or lonely.

Lynn is a person that I will miss deeply. A hole is forever in my heart and my smile has been taken from me. This world is a lot less joyous and happy without Lynn in it. I will never hear her laugh, see her face, listen to her jokes, feel her touch, hear her talk, I will be missing so many things about my dear sweet friend. I will never see her again. This is so hard to take or imagine. A world without Lynn! I never would have thought it was possible. I wish so many things right now, if only wishes truly did come true.

I love you my friend, my forever angel.

Three years.....

Three years ago you decided to go away where there was no more pain. Never to see your smiling face or hear your infectious laugh. Never to talk to again and hear your wisdom and that love and care in your voice when I was sad or needed you. I will never get to laugh with you about all the memories we made and the ones that could have been. I miss you Lynn. You are always in my heart.

Third year this month..

I still cannot believe you are gone. The third anniversary of your death is this month - August.

I still cannot believe I have not clued into why I am so sad leading up to the anniversary date. It still seems surreal at times.

My son was diagnosed with depressed with thoughts of suicide. I never thought it would hit this close to home - what parent does. I have said this over and over that suicide can strike anyone at anytime as no one is immune regardless of colour, religion, status and so on. I cannot believe I did not see the signs. I knew he was having a tough time but I never realized it was that bad.

He is getting help with therapy with no meds and it seems to be helping. Not every one believes he is depressed - one person who is very close to him in particular - this to me is a tragedy. These people who have a misconception of how a depressed person should behave and basing their decision on that is reckless and disgusting.

My heart hurts for my son. Then again he has me who does believe him and has his back no matter what.

I guess people who have their rigid opinions will not be satisfied until they see their loved one in a coffin.....is that what it will take to wake people like this up?

The road to recovery

Since you died my life has not been the same. I am so tired of people telling me to move on and get over it. How in the hell to you get over someone you have known all of your life and now they are gone forever?

How do you get over that I can talk to you about this past year of utter hell because only you, Lynn, would know what to say to me. I cannot speak to my family because they have all heard it before and quite simply tell me to move on....this word is big in my family...move on...well moving on was not so easy for my sister when her ex left her and moving on has always been so easy for my mother. To my mother it is something to be admired. I don't work that way.

I cannot get close enough to anyone since you died because I have this fear. I fear losing someone else close to me that I love. I have this fear that I cannot understand. My fiancée left me in 2009 and he was yet someone else I needed to move on from. That was like a death and I mourned him. My ex-boyfriend who was one of those big loves one is lucky to have in your life died right after my ex left me. Again, I was required to move on.

In less than two years I have had to move on from your death, Peter's death and the break-up of a 9 year common-law marriage, each and everyone was a shock. How can I just move on. I have not even mourned your death Lynn how can I catch up now? I wish you were here to just make me laugh. To know my pain and understand without even saying a word. To just listen as you always did. I know you had your own demons but you tried so hard. Just knowing that you would have been here if I needed you would have made this time a little less painful.

I remember when I had cancer the first time and you would not leave my side after the surgery. You had a big problem that happened that day but you came and stayed and after would not leave because I looked so bad. I had to beg you to go home and do what you have to do that I would just be sleeping anyway. It seemed like forever because I kept seeing you inch down the bed each time I opened my eyes until you were at the foot - lol.

I love you so much. I miss you. I wish you were here. Your grandson is beautiful. I know proud would not cover how you would be feeling about that little man.

Two Years

I cannot believe it has been two years already. It seems like yesterday that I received that phone call telling me of your death. I still feel that shock and pain. Peter died this year as well and you know how much I loved him. Lately I keep seeing your face then Peter's then you again. I just cannot believe that I have lost two people that I shared so much with. The sadness is not as overwhelming but its there burning in my stomach. With the break-up of my fiancee and I it has been especially difficult lately. Watch over me my dear angel. I need guidance and your wonderful advice. I really miss that. I miss not being able to have you here to talk to you about all that I have been going through. You would know what to say. I just can't allow myself to get close to anyone anymore. I am afraid of the pain if something happens. I have lost two people I love to death and one to a break-up in such a short time. My heart cannot take anymore. Help me get the documentary done....steer me in the right direction.

Love always, Tracey

Tonight I Hold this Candle

by Alan Pedersen

Tonight I hold this candle,
in memory of you.
Hoping someway somehow,
My love will shine through.
I close my eyes, lost in the glow,
there are so many things I want you to know.

This candle says I love you,
this candle says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.

When I'm holding it toward heaven,
it feels like you are near.
If you're look down tonight ,
and see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.

In the glow of this candle,
I can almost see your smile.
And it carries me away,
for a little while.
To another time,
another place,
When all it took to light up my world,
was your beautiful face.

This candle says I love you,
this candle says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.

when I'm holding it toward heaven,
it feels like you are near.
If you're look down tonight ,
and see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.

Some day some way I'll see you again.
I'll hold you in my heart until then
.
This candle says I love you,
this candle says I miss you.
This candle is saying I remember you.

When I'm holding it toward heaven,
it feels like you are near.
If you're look down tonight ,
and see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.

If you're look down tonight ,
and see this candle burning bright,
It says I'm wishing you were here.

A friend is coming your way Lynn

My former boyfriend and one of the big loves of my life, Peter Zezel, died on May 26th at 44. You remember me talking about him all the time Lynn. Remember how heartbroken I was when we had to break-up because he had to go to Philly to play pro hockey. Peter is in heaven with you now. Say hi to him. He probably already knows but he is missed by so many here and dearly loved just as you are my friend. May you find each other and have a good laugh because you both have a great sense of humour.

When you feel most, that I am not here, you are not listening, for I am near,

Through your tears, I see your pain, But I have no fear, because heaven I have gained.

When you sleep, I kiss your cheek, because I know in your dreams, it is me you seek,

So do not wonder, where I am,

I am now in heaven, holding God's hand.

And just a breath away from you .....

I went to your grave finally...

I finally got to go to your grave a few Sundays ago. I was saddened to see no flowers or anything at your gravesite. I hope the tulips are still blooming and continue to bloom in the years to come. I hope no one took the few items I left. Why would they really - lol - they are just things that mean something to us.

I would visit you more often if you were buried closer to me but what can you do. I miss you Lynn. I am going through so much right now and I know you would have the right words to say to me. You would know. You always did.

Love, Tracey

There's no fairy godmother
To make my wish come true,
No genie in a bottle to bring me to you.

No prayer on a fallen star
No magic potion in a jar,
But I can dream and when I do,
I dream that I'm there with you.

A little prayer,a little tear,
A silent wish that you were here.
Tears in my eyes I can wipe away,
But the ache in my heart will always stay.

love Jude. x
