To Briana's Gramma---->  / Sara Paliwoda
I visited the cemetary yesterday to see my dear friend, Gina, and stopped by to see Briana.  One of the beautiful little sign/statues had fallen down so I put it back up.. When I was leaving a older gentlemen in a blue convertable came by and asked me who I was visiting.  I told him Gina Colella and Briana Soltis.  He then asked me about you.  He said that he comes to visit his daughter every other day and sometimes everyday and that he waters all the plants.  He asked if I had heard if you were okay or not because he had not seen you.  He wanted me to let you know through this website that he will keep watering the plants so there's no need to worry about that and also that he misses seeing you there.  I hope everything is as okay as it can be.  All my thoughts--Sara Close

MT TEARS ARE FALLING NOW LIKE KNOW ONE HAS EVER SEEN. I AM IN THAT DEEPEST DARK VALLEY TRYING TO FIND MY WAY OUT WITH OUT YOU. I DO NOT THINK I'L GET OUT,  TILL GOD SHOWES ME THE LIGHT.

Silent Child  / Linda S. (Friend of your Gramsey )

Silent Child
by Kelly Lancor

 
My silent child
our precious baby,
Close to my heart
I'll keep you with me.
An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,
and work to do.

He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss.

We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go

Close

Sunshine / Lana (Aunt)
You were the sunshine of our lives, your radiance was so overwhelming.  You could enter a room and the whole room would turn in awe to see such beauty...  you were an angel all along just sent to us for a while to brighten our lives... now your memory floods our thoughts so often and we remember our plans and wishes for you... they were not to come true though, God had bigger plans for you.  How I miss you sometimes, and wish there had been more time... but God knew best, as hard as it is sometimes to accept, he saw your future and knew you could not handle the evil in this world, so he called you home and left us with the precious memories of times spent with you... No one can ever take your place in my heart, you took my love with you when you left, you were my shadow sometimes from the time you were a tiny tot til you became a grown up teenager, I could turn really fast and run right into you face to face and we would just laugh about it.... and to spend your Saturday with an old lady (me) watching Lifetime TV and eating left overs and popcorn, that took a special kind of kid!!! You were so special to me! My love to you always and forever! Close

SATURDAY YOU WOULD HAVE GRADUATED  / GRAMSEY SOLTIS (GRAMA)
MY CHILD, WHAT WOULD WE HAVE DONE AFTER YOUR GRADUATION SATURDAY?? WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE. YOUR NAME WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CEREMONY. SOME WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. HOW COULD THEY?  GRAMS IS REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME LIVING AND GOD WILL NOT JUST LET YOU DIE. I HAVE BEEN DEAD SINCE THAT COLD DAY IN DECEMBER 2004. I CANNOT RUN, CRY ENOUGH, PRAY ENOUGH, ATTEMPT TO HIDE, SCREAM ALOUD,OR IN SILENCE IN MY HEAD,THERE IS NO LAUGHTER IN MY  SOUL, NOTHING KEEPS MY GRIEF OF BEING WITHOUT YOU SUCH A DEEP PAINFUL LOST IN MY SOUL. I SPENT TIME WITH YOU SATURDAY. THE REST OF SATURDAY I WAS ALONE IN THIS HOUSE AND THE SILENCE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE ME WHERE? SOMEWHERE?? I CAN SMELL YOUR HAIR SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE, WITH YOUR PERFECT TEETH, FEEL YOUR NOSE PRESSED AGAINST MINE, WHEN WE WERE GOOFING AROUND, YOUR VOICE IS AN ECHO IN MY HEAD. YOU ARE WITH ME WHEN I USE THE VACUUMCLEANER, BECAUSE, YOU ALWAYS PUT ON MUSIC, SO, YOU COULD LAUGH WHILE I WAS DANCING WITH THE VACUUM CLEANER. I MISS WATCHING SCARY MOVIES WITH YOU AND THEN WE SLEPT WITH A LIGHT ON ALL NIGHT. I MISS HEARING YOU SING WITH YOUR MUSIC IN MY CAR, ME NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, AND  YOU KNEW EVERY WORD, I'D TURN IT DOWN AND YOU'D TURN IT UP. YOUR HANDS WERE SO SMALL AND YOUR FINGERS SOOO SOFT. I MISS HEARING YOU SAY " COVER ME UP GRAMSEY" OH, HOW I MISS SHOPPING WITH YOU, I NEVER GO NOW. I SEE YOUR GRAMPA"S FACE JERK WITH EMOTION WHEN HE WATCHES ME CRY MISSING YOU. YOU BROUGHT HIM NEW LIFE WHEN YOU WERE BORN. PLEASE WATCH OVER HIM, KEEP THE WIND BENEATH HIS ARMS, SO HE CAN WALK, AND STAY STRAIGHT AND STRONG FOR US ALL, AS, HE HAS DONE FOR 50 YEARS FOR ME. I LOVE HIM AND I AM WATCHING HIM AGE EVERYDAY SINCE WE LOST YOU. HE HAS BEEN A REAL MAN FOR HIS 75YRS. YOU KNOW MY 66TH BIRTHDAY IS COMING SATURDAY. I CAN ONLY DREAM OF HOW WE WOULD HAVE CELEBRATED IT TOGETHER. GOD TOOK YOU HOME TO HEAVEN BEFORE YOU COULD LIVE A LONG LIFE HERE, BUT, NO MORE PAIN FOR YOU MY BABY GIRL, YOU WILL BE FOREVER YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL. REST IN PEACE WITH ALL THE OTHER ANGELS. MAYBE SOMETIME , YOU"LL LOOK AND I"LL BE ARRIVING ON THE SHORE TO SEE YOU. YOUR GRAMSEY Close

I know your pain  / Yolanda Rogers, Mom To Anna (Known Only Thru Her Mother's Heart )
Thank you for sharing your precious daughter. While reading your many entries in the guestbook, I was reminded of this prayer: "I make pleasant songs, and weave verses, because my soul longs for You. Even as I speak of Your glorious power, it is Your love my heart desires. So may all my thoughts be sweet before You, because my soul longs for You." Yes, we long and yearn for Heaven. And God Who listens to our prayers and hears our needs has made it even sweeter by placing our daughters there.   Praise be to Him who allows us to share our grief and also His blessed, blessed HOPE.

THE HALLWAY IN MY HOME.  / GRAMSEY SOLTIS (GRAMA)
ITS SO DIFFICULT TO WALK IN OUR HOUSE WITH YOUR PICTURES EVERYWHERE. EVERYDAY GRAMS WALKS WITH TUNNEL VISION , HEAD UP OR DOWN, TRYING NOT TO FOCUS ON YOUR PICTURES.

YES, I AM ASKING THAT TODAY. THIS IS A VERY LOST DAY FOR ME, LIKE THE MANY OTHERS I HAVE HAD, SINCE GOD TOOK U HOME. DO I NEED TO GO SET BY YOUR RESTING PLACE? DO I GO LIE DOWN BESIDE U?   WHAT GOD, WOULD U HAVE ME DO? REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE MY LOVE, WHERE YOU CAN NEVER FEEL PAIN AGAIN. YOUR LOVING, LOST GRAMSEY.XO XO RIP Close

YOU WOULD BE 18 YRS. OLD TODAY  / GRAMSEY SOLTIS (GRAMA)

BRIANA LYNN, WHERE DO I BEGIN? 18 YRS. AGO, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS IN LABOR WITH YOU, AT METRO HOSPITAL. YOU WERE BORN PREMATURE, BUT YOUR MOTHER WANTED IT THAT WAY. I CAME TO SEE U IN THE NEONATAL UNIT ON A VENTILATOR. I WAS IN MY HOSPITAL SCRUBS, I HAD JUST LEFT WORK. WHEN I GOWNED & GLOVED UP, MY WHOLE BODY WAS SHAKING. I LOOKED AT YOU, SUDDENLY U OPENED YOUR EYES  AND LOOKED AT ME, IWAS KNEELING BESIDE YOUR VENT.  I WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT. YOU  LOOKED AT ME SO MANY TIMES THRU THE GLASS. YOUR FATHER WOULD PUT HIS FINGER IN YOUR SMALL HAND.  I STARTED LIVING AND KNOWING  REAL DEEP LOVE THE DAY U WERE BORN.  U WERE IN THE UNIT FOR A LONG TIME, I WOULD KNEEL, PRAY, AND LOOK AT YOU. ONE OF YOUR NURSES,WAS, A FRIEND OF MINE. SHE TRIED TO REASSURE ME ALL THE TIME THAT, YOU""WOULD PULL THRU THIS & LIVE." BUT NOTHING COULD MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT, UNTIL, YOU FOUGHT BACK, AND GOD GAVE YOU TO US.  GOD CHOSE TO TAKE YOU HOME AFTER GIVING ME 14YRS. OF PURE LOVING PLEASURE  TO HAVE YOU ON THIS EARTH AND IN MY HOME.  WHAT A GIFT//////   YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL FROM THE TIME U CAME IN THIS WORLD AND IT ONLY GOT MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH EACH BIRTHDAY. YOU WERE & R MY SOUL,S COMPANION & THE  REASION  FOR KNOWING WHY GOD MADE ME YOUR GRANDMOTHER. MY LIFE BEGAN THE DAY U WERE BORN. MY LIFE WAS OVER WHEN GOD CALLED YOU HOME 14YRS. AGO YOU WERE BORN ON YOUR GRANDFATHER'S BIRTHDAY.   TODAY HE IS 75 YRS. OLD.     HIS  SILENCE , HIS AGEING, HIS TEMPERMENT, AND  HIS FREQUENT TRIPS TO YOUR RESTING PLACE, TELLS & SHOWS ME HOW MUCH    YOU WERE AND STLL LOVED BY HIM. YOUR SPIRIT IS STILL IN OUR HOME, WE JUST CANNOT TOUCH YOU. THE SILENCE IN THIS HOUSE IS SO LOUD, WITHOUT YOUR LAUGHTER AND ANTICS. ALL TO MYSELF I THINK OF THE THINGS WE USED TO DO, THINGS WE USE TO SAY, PLACES WE WENT.I THINK OF EACH HAPPY, BYGONE DAY, SOMETIMES I SMILE, SOMETIMES A  WAVE COMES OVER ME  AND I CRY, JUST ANYWHERE I AM AT. I CHERISH THOSE 14YRS. WE HAD YOU.  YOU HOLD A PLACE THAT NO ONE CAN EVER FILL. WE SHALL BE LOVED AND REMBERED EVERYDAY UNTIL MY LAST BREATH FOREVER and a day your lonely, loving, grandmother, moravia lynn soltis  alias GRAMSEY
