Mary Neeley:
"Where have all the flowers gone? The most BEAUTIFUL flowers in the garden are always picked first. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love is a memory no one can steal. You were the GREATEST singer/songwriter of the 21st century. Others will come and go but no one will EVER have your style. Rest in peace, Dear Amy Jade Winehouse. You have touched so many."
Nat Jensen:
Gary Jensen was my father, a hard working, kind-hearted, funny dad. One gone too soon. He was born in Bakersfield, CA and died in Redding, CA. He is survived by his mother, Melba Jensen, his son Nathaniel Jensen, and his sisters Leslie Mitchem and Karen Van Hoosen, along with many of his nieces and nephews.
Christina Peterson:
John Schilling was my great uncle. In 1922, Uncle John co-founded WHB, a Kansas City radio station. There he met his future wife, Yvonne Rodier, through her sister, my maternal grandmother, Marguerite. My grandmother had landed a job playing piano in the WHB studio orchestra. She met my grandfather, Ralph P. Stevens, a bass player, in the orchestra and they double dated with Schilling and Aunt Yvonne. Both couples subsequently married.
After WHB was sold, Uncle John became the manager and vice-president of KMBC, a local television station ([external link]).
As I remember Uncle John, he was a big, sandy-haired, mustached man with a red face and bright, blue eyes. He, my Aunt Yvonne and my grandparents did a lot of traveling together. They motor-toured the U.S. back when that was still an adventure and later took a number of trips to Mexico and Europe.
I spent a lot of time at Uncle John and Aunt Yvonne's home when I was young. It was a lovely place, set back from the street. They had never had children, and I rarely saw Uncle John. My understanding when I was young was that he was always terribly busy working. Many years later, I learned that, in addition to his duties at the station, he was usually kept pretty busy with other women.
Still, the more I learn about him, the more I wish I'd been older when I knew him. I'd love to hear him talk about his life. He was an adventurous and ambitious man who tried his hand at lots of things - often successfully.
Here's my one clear memory of him. One summer night, he showed me the constellation Orion and taught me how I could always find it by looking first for Orion's Belt, then his sword. That, in turn, got me interested in learning the stories behind, and the names and locations of the other constellations. I'm an old woman now but I always think of Uncle John when I look at the night sky. He gave me the stars.
Danielle Coker:
If there was a way to explain the best mother and everything you’d ever need as one beautiful person you got lucky enough to have as your mama her name would go down in history in the prettiest dictionary every. I don’t know how she did it but she did.. I love you mama I love u sooo much ! I look in the mirror and I see YOU. I’m so grateful for that and for the strength you left me as well you’re one of a kind and there’s no person ever that’ll be even similar. I’m the closest there may get but sure wish I knew the tricks ma! I love yaaa beautiful !

Marquis Elliott:
My uncle John - When I was a little girl my uncle worked everyday building houses. He packed his lunch for work everyday so when he would come home in the evening as soon as he got out the car I would run to him asking him if I could have some of his soda and he would tell me no. So on this one time he said yes and handed it to me so I took it and turned it up to my mouth and when it got to my mouth I spit it out so fast because it wasn’t soda it was liquor. He said now he won’t have to worry about me anymore.
Jon Wilson:
Nextdoor neighbor - He was a good man I wish I was a better neighbor to his family, and helped him with his yard work .
I found out after his passing he was a WW2 vet I bet he could tell me about life back then
The only thing I can do for him now is to visit his and his wifes grave put an American flag and flowers on there head stone and say a prayer for them and how much I miss there presence as neighbors.
I love them both very much

Phyllis Ferrara:
Anita Ferrara Clark was my beloved paternal aunt - My 2nd mother. I loved this woman dearly. My father, her older brother, was devoted to her. They both had a difficult childhood, as their mother passed when Anita was an infant and my dad was a toddler.
May they both be happy and beloved in heaven.
