Danielle cherished family, friends and life. She had her whole life
planned out; her husband, number of kids, two dogs and would be
a dermatologist, a career where she could help others but have time
for her family. 
Christi had just enrolled in college. She just began taking First
Baptist Church shuttles downtown every Thursday to befriend the
homeless. Just chit chatting with them and letting them know they
had a friend. In her journals, she was determined to turn her life
around and she started by helping others. She volunteered often
for the M.U.S.T. Ministries to help set up their clothing shop for
the homeless and the children's center. She helped cooked their
meals. She helped do their laundry. She wanted to go into a field
helping others. She would have changed at least one person's life,
for the better, when they thought there was no more hope. She didn't
show up last Thursday. She died. 
Mark suffered a brain injury at the age of 19 the night of a high
school prom. Mark died at the age of 25. Life was hard for Mark,
he lived an aphasic life. Mark struggled to relearn his alphabet
and to speak again. Neuro rehab, drug rehab, jails, institutions
and death. Mark was disabled and a fighter all at the same time.
College, heavy equipment operator, volunteering were all part of
these six years. Mark loved kids and wished he had one. Due to the
selfish reasoning of his so called friends, Mark will never be able
to achieve his dreams that he fought so hard for. Mark's struggle
is over !! PEACE.......... 
In the months before she was killed, 21-year-old Anke Furber had
been acting scared and she seemed to know she was in danger. Several
days after Furber's charred remains were discovered in a small vineyard
in Norcross, Anke's mom, Ria, found a note in Anke's desk at home
in Marietta. In it, Anke seemed to foreshadow her own death. She
wrote, "My parents would surely grieve the loss of their wonderful
daughter whose craziness would soon lead to her slaughter". Ria
isnt sure exactly when the note was written, but believes it was
written in a close time frame to the actual murder. 
At 22 years old, Levi had goals and ambitions of being a business
owner, a husband and a father. He loved his family and friends with
everything in him and would do anything for you. His shyness and
manners we're a shining attribute to who he was. Unfortunately,
Levi befriended someone who for nearly three years took advantage
of his kindness and when asked to leave his home, he killed him.
If he would have just walked out the door as asked, Levi would still
be here today. We'll never know all the wonderful things that Levi
would have accomplished, but we know he was a "Friend" till the
end. 
Ephraim was 21 yrs old when he prematurely transitioned to the other
side. He was a very warm hearted young man. And was always available
to help friends and family. As his cousin Ben said about him: "You
can lay a 1,000. on the table and know completely that Ephraim would
have never taken it". He spent most of his days at Antique World
in Clarence , NY which was owned and operated by his Uncle. That
was my sons world. A world he will no longer be able to participate
in. He is sorely missed by his family and friends. 
His friends describe him as a kind, warm hearted, full of energy,
always smiling, and a very silly young man. They also said that
whenever Sean walked into a room that he had the ability lighting
up the room because he was full of life and energy! He loved his
dad, his mom, and his sister very much. He had a very special bond
with his great grandma Efford and his great aunt Charlene whom also
up in heaven with him. A warm hug from Sean was just another way
that he showed his affection to his family and friends 
When Cayte was in the middle school she was on the track team, she
was a cheerleader for the Nor-Roc Vikings, she was on a soccer team,
and she loved attending the dances at the Sad Cafe. When she went
to high school, all of those activities stopped. The sad reason
was because she was too old. All the kids have, once they reach
high school, are the woods and the homes of friends when the parents
are at work. If she had activities to do after school when she went
to high school, maybe this wouldn't have happened. 
From her birth to her passing Katty touched so many lives. Not only
did her family have the joy of watching her grow from a 6 pound
baby girl to a beautiful young woman, but so many others did as
well. The lives she touched are too many to fathom. Her beauty and
grace preceded her where ever she went. Her heart was made of fine
gold and she cared for others always before herself. She was not
just special to all of us but to the Lord who saw fit to call her
home at such a young age. Her mansion was ready! When we think of
Katty now we all can be at peace because we know she is with her
Lord, never to face this harsh world we live in day to day. She
is with us always when we remember her smile, her touch, and her
kind words. We all had the pleasure of being touched by an ANGEL!
We want our son's name to be Remembered and to bring hope and joy
out of something that has been the darkest and heartbreaking days
of our families life. JP was very out spoken and we have decided
to be that way on this site and to be his voice about the drug companies
and the public official's that sit back and do nothing. If we could
save one person from what our family had to go Through and is still
going Through, it would be all worth it We will not stop until the
truth gets out. We want his memory to live on . 
Time has gone by so quickly and it seems like we haven't seen your
face in forever. Our hearts are broken, our tears flow so freely
and our souls feel empty. Michael, you left us with so many happy
memories but the memories can never take your place. We know you
and your uncle Sam are saving a place for those who cherished you
the most. 
Two weeks before he died, Chuck called me on the phone. He was excited
to tell me he was joining the National Guard. He had begun to think
about being a History Teacher. He planned to attend school after
basic training. He also mentioned a new girlfriend. He was pretty
crazy about her but wanted to give things a little more time before
making her "meet the parents". Still, we made plans to meet for
lunch once July wound down. He thought we might all get together
and told me not to worry, he had a job and would help pay the check.
The first time I met the young lady he was so crazy about was as
she cried herself senseless over his casket. She laid a broken heart
chain and necklace across his hands. She wore the mating half around
her slender neck. Her courage in court helped to solidify the deal
that sent a drug dealer to prison. I hope she, and Chuck's other
friends, make the right decision and swear off drug use so we may
never see their faces on these pages. 
Everyone ever touched by Miranda. This will be a tribute to the
life she lived. She was the most remarkable and inspirational woman
I have ever known. I was in awe of my own daughter. Even as her
mother, her beauty took my breath away, and as she walked this earth
from her crawling stages to adulthood her beauty from the inside
amazed me. Miranda loved about every living thing and each friend
she had she made her relationship with them special and unique.

SURVIVORS
OF HOMICIDE
VICTIMS AWARENESS
November 20th to December 20th
SURVIVORS OF HOMICIDE VICTIMS AWARENESS MONTH
November 20th to December 20th
In collaboration with SHOC-Survivors of Homicide Organized for Change.
This yearly observance of Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness
Month provides a platform where, as a nation, we can learn how to better
assist families who have been brutally impacted by violence and to support
the efforts of survivors to inform our violence prevention, peacemaking
and social justice movement. We need this awareness month because
our institutions and our society are uncomfortable dealing with survivors
of homicide victims. We don’t know what to say to them and often
we don’t know what to do for them.
The Compassionate Friends
Worldwide Candle Lighting
The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle
Lighting®,
held annually the second Sunday in December, this year December 14,
unites family and friends around the globe as they light candles for
one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from
any cause. As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, creating a virtual
wave of light, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor
the memories of children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural,
religious, and political boundaries.
Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting
on the globe, the Worldwide Candle Lighting, a gift from TCF to the
bereavement community, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it
moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting
events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted
in homes as families gather in quiet remembrance of children who have
died, but will never be forgotten.
The Worldwide Candle Lighting started in the
The 2007 Worldwide Candle Lighting saw information

Please help spread the word about this tremendous
event and invite anyone who is unable to attend a service to light a
candle at 7 p.m. for one hour wherever they may be.
All allied bereavement organizations, churches, funeral homes, hospices
and formal and informal bereavement groups are invited to join in the
