Loving Husband and Father

When we miss your love, your gentle voice, your sweet caress
Wonderful things happen to remind us that we will always be blessed.

Your loving soul wraps us in its warmth and care
To remind us that you are always there.

Eugene McGrath

My Uncle Gene was a wonderful, thoughtful, caring man who survived a bout with throat cancer in the mid 1970's.
Unfortunately, another kind of throat cancer appeared. He fought bravely to the end, but in the end the angels came and took him home to rest in September 1996.

Reverend Leonard T. McGrath

Less than a year after his diagnosis with an astrocytoma, my beloved uncle went home to rest with Jesus. He was an amazing  man, a devout and exemplary Catholic priest. He was devoted   the Blessed Mother, his Church, and his family and we were devastated when he became ill. But even in his illness, he taught us so much about faith, hope, and love. Our lives were dimmed by his loss, but the lights in Heaven flickered ever strongly once he went Home.

Jim "Peanut" Sugimoto

On July 17, 2001, my friend, Jimmy, lost his battle with stomach cancer.
Jimmy was a very funny, outgoing guy.  The picture is from Halloween a few years back!  We shared an affection for Elvis and Sumo Wrestling!  Jimmy was one of the reasons I continued to show up at work each day... just to see
what he'd say to me in the break room while we filled our gigantic cups with coffee.  Jimmy turned 34 on June 1st...
I will forever miss my "Sugi"!!!

Sister Elaine (Lanie) Hegamyer Deal

My sister, Elaine (Lanie) Hegamyer Deal was "promoted to Heaven" after fighting the battle of Lymphoma Cancer on August 7th, 2000.  She was such a lovely extraordinary person that even her Dr. at the cancer center said she wish she had known her before the end because of the incredible outpouring of love she saw toward Elaine coming from the friends and family that came to visit her.  Up until 2 days before her death when she went into a coma, she was witnessing and comforting those around her without thought of herself.  
I love you Lanie and you will forever hold a piece of my heart.

Ivadell Gingrich May '95

Grandmother died shortly after she saw an ultrasound of my daughter.  Brooke, my daughter, was the first great-grand-daughter to be born.  My grandmother had a funny way to determine what the sex of your child was going to be my simply looking at you when you were about 6 weeks along.  She had predicted 21 births and she was RIGHT every time, even when the doctors were wrong.  

I miss her and think of her daily.
