In Memory of David Lee Webber and Dorothy Casella

My Beloved David went missing Nov 7, 2000 and was found Nov 12, 2000. He was 38. A friend found the Memorial Tear for me and our 3 daughters. I have never taken it off and its been 11 years. I even wore it when I remarried. I had the design etched into his headstone. I then lost my mother Dorothy 4 years later. I had her initial added to the back of the pendants. I have given this pendant to 6 of my students who have lost a parent or sibling (I am a HS teacher) and they wear them with love.

In Memory of Theresa Tharp-Turner
Our daughter, 37 yrs. old passed away Oct.11, 2011 of breast cancer. She has always been our “angel”, born a dignified and graceful warrior over 2 months early, and she has had to fight through several trials. She fought this dreaded disease for 8 years before she passed and died with such dignity and grace by which she lived. My sister gave me the Memorial tear and I will treasure it always. Thank you Judy and God bless.
-Jim Tharp

In Memory of Nickolas Mueller
October 26, 2009 three men knocked on our front door. We knew a Chinook helicopter had gone down in Afghanistan that morning. It was three minutes past midnight. Those three men came from Nick’s unit to tell us what had happened. Those three men knew our son Nick. They lost five Night Stalkers, two Special Forces and three DEA in that crash, all up front and 26 lived. As I have read some of the stories, it just does not get any better. We will never be complete again. Yes, the good die young, don’t they. Nick is in our hearts and as long as we breath, Nick will remain in our hearts guiding us. I received the memorial tear necklace from a dear friend. Love will never end and stays with us forever. We miss you Nick and Love you so much. Forever in our hearts.

Richie spread his wings and flew home on June 4, 2010. He was our sunshine, our pride and joy, our best buddy, and our heart. He was the center of our family. He is missed very much by all who knew and loved him. The Memorial Tear is a very nice reminder for his dad to have. We love you, Richman!

-Joni Rodgers

In Memory of Johnny and Bessie Louise Carter
When I first saw the memorial tear necklace in August 2011 I started crying in the store. I bought the necklace in memory of my father and mother who entered heaven within 18 hours of each other. They were the best and sweetest parents any daughter could pray for and it was my pleasure to love and care for them. They were in the hospital together for different reasons in 2008 and we never separated them as they entered a nursing care facility and three years later, March 2011 entered heaven. On March 6 they celebrated their 68th anniversary, Dad died March 8 and Mom died March 9. I am still grieving, but smile with the thought of them together hand-in-hand in heaven. I will wear the teardrop often in memory of Johnny and Bessie Louise.
-Sandy Carter McCoy

In Memory of William N. Douglas
I lost my Dad on May 1, 2011. I was given a Memorial Tear Sympathy Card by my cousin, who is the most thoughtful person ever. She gave it to me to help me get through Father’s Day and it meant more than she could ever know. I miss my Dad so much, but he lives on in my heart forever. It is true that “love never ends”. I will give these cards to those I know who need comfort.

In Memory of my mom, Vonnie
I lost my mom and one of my best friends Feb. 15, 2011. She struggled with spinal disease and COPD for many, many years and endured great pain. She faced this with such courage and dignity; she has left us an amazing legacy of her strength and love. I was so happy for you that you passed on so peacefully, because you deserved that. I didn’t realize how painful it would be for me, being left behind. I will miss you and love you every day of my life and I can’t wait to see you again. I love you berry many worlds full Mama!

In Memory of Floy Bryant
I lost my Mama on May 9,2011. She held on all day May 8, 2011 the nurses told me because it was Mother’s Day. Nothing, NOT even the soul bruising pain of losing my Mama, could alter the memory of her on Mother’s Day for me. She was and is my special angel forever. I LOVE YOU MAMA ALWAYS.

In Memory of Chloe Fruth
At 16 years of age the world has lost someone who would have been of great importance. You were very caring of all that you met. Those you leave behind will miss you every day. You have left your mark in this world even at such a young age. I know that you would have made great changes and improvements in this world had God allowed you to stay. He had other plans for you though. We all love and miss you Chloe. You were one of the bravest people I have ever known.

In Memory of Bradley S. DeBerry
I was given this memorial tear card at the cemetery while choosing a cremains niche for my husband, Brad, who passed away at the age of 53 on March 11, 2012. We have three children and he was the love of my life and soul mate. The tear just makes me know and feel that “our” love will never end and he will never be forgotten. He was a wonderful husband and father as well as provider. Thank you for providing a symbol for eternal love. Forever in my heart.
-Your wife, Lisa.

-Jeannette Crawford

In Memory of My Sister, Arlene
You lived far away and I didn’t get to see you or spend time with you often but the love and bond sisters share is not bound by distance. As the oldest of the “little girls” you led us on many great adventures and taught us so much. I always wanted to be like you but you were one of a kind. Seeing the number of people who knew you and were touched by you in some way is your final inspiration to me to care first about people and let God’s love shine through me to them. I will miss you but and I look forward to seeing you in heaven. You will be on this earth forever in my heart.

In Memory of Zachary D. Smith
Six months ago we heard the most terrible news parents could hear. Our son was in Afghanistan and had been killed on January 24th, 2010. Zach was a vibrant, loving, caring, beautiful young man who showed his love all the time to everyone. He married the love of his life last July and was deployed in December. Zach was only in Afghanistan for 40 days, and he was killed while in combat operations. Zach was living his life how he wanted to and became a United States Marine right after High School graduation. I have learned that life is too short, and that we never know what tomorrow can bring. I have been blessed with a beautiful husband Chris, and three beautiful children- Nate (23), Zach (19), and Grace (11). My life was perfect and I knew it, this has forever changed my life and we will never be complete. We have many family and friends that support us and I am also thankful for each and every one of them. The pain of losing a child is still hard to imagine….and I am living it. “Zach- you will never be forgotten—we will always remember your beautiful smile and the joy you brought to us. We are so proud of you.” The memorial tear was given to us by friends, and there is so much meaning- that we will always share this in times that we will need to support our family and friends. Zach- rest in peace my baby…someday we will be together again…..I long for that day to receive a hug from my 6’3″ angel with combat boots.

In Memory of My brother, Vincent Robert
My wedding had been planned for a year, the dress was bought, the wedding rings were sized and the flowers were decided on. My wedding day, August 15th came and went like a fairytale that every bride should experience. My two brothers were in the wedding party, and my middle brother, Vinny, looked particularly handsome with his blue eyes against the blue tux vest that matched the bridesmaid dresses. I saw Vinny the next day at brunch….had I known that would be the last day I saw him, I would have stayed to talk with him just a bit longer….while on my honeymoon, on August 19th, Vinny was called by the Angels to everlasting peace in Heaven. Vincent was a loved son, brother, cousin, and most of all, father to a beautiful 19 month old daughter, Angelina. Vinny was only 25 years old when he passed, and not a morning goes by that I don’t wake up and think everything was just a terrible nightmare. Vinny is missed by his entire family beyond words. He was a strong man who had a particular talent in electronics and fixing anything from a car to a microwave. My heart aches for my own loss, but especially for my parents who lost a son that they brought into this world, and for Angelina who will never get to go fishing, or experience life with her amazing father. I purchased the memorial tear for my entire family to wear in Vinny’s memory. God Bless you, Vinny! May you Rest In Peace. We love you!

In Memory of DONALD VINCENT CORDOVA
On December 21st, 2009, God took you away from us, a loving and caring husband, a good son and brother and uncle and a best friend to all. You spent all your young years in laughter, kindness to all, helping whenever you can, bringing joy to each and anyone you meet. You gave me a beautiful life and in a split second, you left. But you left us with all beautiful memories. I love you forever and a day. I miss you so much it hurts. You are now my guardian angel and always smiling here and up above. Make a room for me when it is time for us to meet again. Till we meet again. I love you…forever..

In Memory of Monica Minette NielsenOlson
My dear twin sister Monica was taken from us on January 26, 2010. She left us far to soon – she was only 44 years old. We are struggling to understand WHY…but we may never get an answer. She leaves behind two beautiful daughters – Ashley (15) and Taylor (13) and a legacy of caring and service to her community. She was not a perfect person – but she was a good person. We miss her everyday.

In Memory of Jill Durso

I miss my mom so much. She only passed a week ago, on April 16th 2010. It was so sudden and unexpected I couldn’t even say goodbye. I Just wish I could talk to you again. Mothers day is going to be so hard this year. I love you and miss you mom.
-Gina Winbush

Daughter and Mother

I received my memorial tear necklace upon the passing of my mother. It was a gift from a co-worker and dear friend of my mother’s. It has been a treasured gift and I wear it often. My husband and I lost a daughter at 32 weeks pregnant, had a wonderful son two years later and then I lost my mother to cancer just three months after our son was born. She was only 52 years old. Losing our daughter and my mother has been a constant struggle for me to keep myself afloat. Having this necklace has been a great comfort to me and I treasure it each time I wear it. Thank you for this beautiful creation and for sharing it with us.

In Memory of John “Jay” Sibiski

This is dedicated to my loving husband Jay. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of you and cry because I miss you so much. You took part of my heart with you. I don’t regret one day of our life together, I’m sad it was only for 28 years. They were the best years of my life. We lived true to our wedding vows “in sickness and in health.” You were sick for 5 years especially the last year and a half and I would take care of you again if I could. I’m comforted in knowing that you are no longer suffering and that our love continues. I feel your presence and I know you are watching over me. Until the day we meet again in heaven, I will miss you. I love you for eternity.

Trinity Faith
On September 20, 2009, I delivered my third born child, and my third girl, Trinity Faith. Trinity was born at 23 weeks gestation, so she was alive when she was born, but she was not able to breath on her own. At only 1 lb. 3.5 oz. and 11 1/2 inches long, she passed just a few moments after she was born. I miss her like crazy! Now, I have been through quite a few tragedies in my life including an uncle killed in a freak car accident and an immediate family member committing suicide, but losing a child is by far the worst for me. We have had, and still do have a lot of love and support which has and is helping us get through this terrible experience. Trinity taught me a lot even though she only “lived” for maybe two minutes, and I will always keep that with me and continue to grow and hopefully be able to help others some day. I received the Memorial Tear necklace from my team at my office. It is beautiful. My teammates are truly the best! To my beautiful little angel Trinity Faith, you don’t know me and I really don’t know you but I want you to know that I will always love you and I cannot wait until the day comes that I get to see you again. I will learn everything there is to learn about you and I will hold you in my arms so tight. I promise once we are reunited I will never let you go. I miss you baby girl and I love you with all of my heart. Rest in sweet, heavenly peace my little angel.
-Michele Winiecki
The Triple Threat, Mom, Dad, and Nana
When I was growing up, my mom and I weren’t very close. She got married at 19. Had me at 20. My sister at 25 and was a widow at 27. My dad was 18 years older than her. She raised us 2 girls as best she could. She had quite a few health problems growing up herself. My sister and I both went on to further our education. My sister becoming a lab tech for the Red Cross and I an LPN. Mom passed away in 2004. On Dec. 21st.,after a very lengthy illness. We got closer when I was about 26. I am now 55. I feel as if I have a whole in my heart. Dad passed away when I was 7 and my sis was 2. Mom was 70 when she passed. People say time heals. Well, I can’t for the life of me figure when that will be. My mom’s mom died 9 months after she did. Nana and I were very close. Nana was there for us all, always. So I guess this is a memorial for all three of them. Mom, Dad, and Nana. If anyone has any suggestions on how to cope with this grief. Please pass it on.
-Cindy

I lost my mom to cancer in June, 1998, and then my dad to cancer in December, 2005. I took care of the both of them while they were struggling with cancer treatments, and even though they say that time heals, not a day goes by that I don’t think of them and miss them. I want to tell them so much of what is happening in our lives. Then in November, 2009, my best friend of 20 years, Barb, passed away from leukemia. She had only been sick for 4 weeks. Again, I took such good care of her while she stayed those 4 weeks in the hospital. I wear this necklace in memory of these three very beloved people that made such a difference in my life. What I learned from them I will never forget. I know that God is taking good care of them, but the hurt is still there. I pray that others who are hurting will feel peace in their hearts.
