This feature is dedicated to the memory of Beverly Haynes, who was a very special lady we were blessed to have as a member here for some time, before she sadly lost her battle with cancer, in November 2010.

In here you can light a candle, and post a message if you so wish, for anyone who you are worried about, who you feel you'd like to do something positive for, or someone who is no longer with you - not necessarily a member of the forum, but anyone in your life.



The first candle to be lit has to be for Bev -


we will never forget you, Bev. x

I light a candle for my (our) friend Dusty, who has been there for me right from day one of becoming a member on the forum... I only wish I could offer her half the support she has given me..............​
​
 
Remembering two very special people in my life my mom (1946-2003) and my sister (1968-2007), there isnt a day I dont remember my time with you on earth. Rest in peace and I will see you again one day.

Miss B and I shared our name, she connected with me immediatly making me feel welcome to the forum. A special dynamic woman, with a big heart. May God bless your soul Miss B, RIP~
 
Id like to light 2 candles if I could? One in memory of MissB she is obviously missed a great deal here on the forums.

Id also like to light one for a friend, Dustin. He was just 19, we have been friends since preschool and just passed a few short months ago. I cried last night thinking about his family around this time. I cant even imagine. We miss you buddy.

For my grandpa who's still alive but had a massive stroke and can't move his left side. His story is in the Anything Goes section of the forum. Not only do I hope he regains his mobility but more importantly his happiness and that spark he used to have.

I love you Grandpa!​

I just found out our local ostomy support chapter lost one of its own today.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Jack family. Betty was a great addition to our ostomy family. She had a great sense of humor, a warm smile, and never let her ileostomy get in the way of doing what she wanted in life.

There's one empty chair at our meeting, one less voice laughing, one less member. You may be gone but your spirit lives on. God Speed Betty.

I light a candle for my best friend Amy, who I grew up with and was as close to me as a sister. She lost her battle with cancer last summer aged 23. Love you so much baby girl!!!

I light a candle for my best friend and comforter whenever I wasn't feeling well. Ike was 13 years old and crossed over the Rainbow Bridge this past Monday. He was very sick over the weekend but didn't get better. I brought him into the vet with his woobie (a lambskin bear w/felt eyes that he took off) & a crocheted blanket my grandma made him. I held him in my arms until he slipped into a peaceful slumber.

I thanked him for being there for me during all the times I was in pain & needed comfort, someone to hug, laughter, & giving me the strength to get through my stroke and many flares and surgeries. For a Basset, the vet told me I took excellent care of him in spite of his many health issues (diabetes, UC, and neck issues) and he lived well beyond his life expectancy.

I spoiled him with canned carrots, diabetic cookies, body massages, walks, car rides, letting him sit on the couch to look out the window, took him into the bank (we live in a small town) to see the girls, took him into the farm/garden shop to pick out his bones and toys, etc.

I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago for a nasty abscess on my abdomen that had to be drained in the ER (was admitted for 2 days & hooked up to an IV w/antibiotics). Ike was with me 4 days prior as I had a high temp. Once I got home & improved, he didn't want to be alone in the kitchen feeling ill, so I slept on the couch & he passed out on the floor. I was there for him in the end. We were meant for each other as I could relate to his illnesses....that's what everyone would tell me.

Now as I face more tests w/my GI as my surgeon thinks I may have a hidden fistula (I pray not), I am alone on this journey. Ike would be my source of strength & comfort & reason to go on. I really need support right now. Thanks for letting me vent.

We understand the dark and difficult days you now find yourselves in. We understand the silence and the absence. We understand the fear and uncertainty. We are here for any day, any time.

Rest in peace darling little Matt. An angel with the angels...

I like to light a candle today in memory of my friend Katy, who died Sunday after a short battle with a vicious type of breast cancer. The cancer was so spread out and affected the heart and caused cracks in her spine. The doctors didn't even know what to tackle first and she decided to stop all treatment on Saturday ... by Sunday morning she was gone!
I regret not having been in touch due to idiotic circumstances and will miss her dearly!
Here's to you, Katy ... I know your spririt will always be with me and I will miss your witty remarks and your sarcasm that was always spot on and caused a lot of laughter in what we called "Monster Meetings" on your back porch.
Love you lots .. :rosette2:
 
My first for Emma, she suffered from crohn's but died from a clot in the brain. I said goodbye at Christmas 2005 and never saw her again.

My second for the residents who have passed away in the nursing home I work at. I've seen a lot but it never gets easier. Maybe it is not meant to.

My third for John and Peter, two separate years, two separate freak accidents, two brothers. Always missed by so many. Also for their parents, left without their only children.
 
For Doctor Jenny. I pray for strength for you and your family as you fight cancer and for the knowledge, skill and compassion of your doctors. May they treat you with the same understanding and excellence of care that you have given to the children entrusted in your care.

I light a candle for a family friend
who was one of my greatest supports through university
and life away from my family.
She passed away on Sunday.

And I... I was so busy with "life"
when I was in her 'neck of the woods'
just a few weeks ago that I never stopped by
to even say "Hi"....... :( :( :(

PLEASE always remember
to take the time to tell someone
you are thinking of them....
you never know when it's going to be too late....... ​
 
{{{HUGS}}} to you Silver. I know you will always carry your friend in your heart and soul and she knows that too mate. {{{HUGS}}}

Thinking of you, always. :heart:
Dusty. xxxxxxxx
 
For my daughter's friend who took his life last night. So young and gone too soon. You were a shining light in everyone's life who knew you. May you find the peace in heaven!

For my Mom, Carmella, who fought like a demon against her ovarian cancer. As I now too have a progressive organic disease, I know that you will be watching over me as I also fight like a demon. Thank you for showing me that life is worth living and certainly worth fighting for.
Always, your loving daughter thru all eternity - C
 
For all candles that have been lit in this forum, I send a special prayer. Even though I've never met these loved ones, they are touching my life right now. My thoughts go out to all of you and their memories.
 
For Evan. My daughter's 13 year old little friend, who just lost his fight against leukemia. His dad said that as he lay there towards the end with his eyes closed, he would ask him, "where are you?", and he would say "in school with my friends". I hope you saw us from heaven laying in the formation of your name on the football field. We will never forget you. May your soul rest in peace, and your family find comfort in the end of your suffering.
 
This candle is for our friend at work, Kerrie, who died one year ago today, aged 32 from a horrible aggressive cancer, gone but never forgotten xxx

I am writing to tell of the passing of Cindy, known to this site as (CKT). I met her one day on the Crohns Forum and we became bonded instantly. It was like I had known her all of my life. I think she just made everyone feel that way.

I believe we brought great comfort to each other during the time we had. She was very loving and made me and many others laugh at her and ourselves at very hard times... thank-you Cindy.:hug:
 
Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. Cindy was a lovely lady and very inspiring. Too young to go. Rest in peace sweet lady.
 
My heart is saddened to hear of the loss of one of our Crohn's Forum family members.

Rest in Peace Cindy ~ I'm sorry we never got the chance to know one another.

Well John it's 5 months since you passed and your killer has denied murdering you :-:)-:)-( the scum can't believe he done that can't believe he killed you either he's going on trail march 4th and it's expected to last three weeks. It's hard for us colleagues to get through can't imagine how your family feel:-:)-( :-(;-( it's all so hard for us to get through. I know you wouldn't want us to be sad but it's really difficult especially as you were private and everyone loved you. You wouldn't hurt a fly I just can't get my head around why this has happened. So many unanswered questions I need strength John and I haven't got it. It's getting harder and harder each passing day. We miss you and think of you everyday miss your jokes. Love all of your colleagues
 
Poor jbug. She will be missed. She was such a sweetheart :(

My heart goes out to her entire family.
