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."
Matt Von Striver:
Beverly Norene Von Striver was a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She left this world suddenly on May 13, 2022 at the age of eighty six.
Beverly was born on February 11, 1936 to Alexander and Esther Montague. Immediately upon her high school graduation, at age 17, she married Ronald Von Striver. Together, they had four children: Mark (1954-2016), Beth (Michael), Wayde (Elizabeth) and Bradley.
She delighted in each of her grandchildren (Justin, Alison, Alex, Taylor, Jenna and Matthew) and was very proud of her great-grandchildren (Nicholas, Bodhi, Maximus, Hazel, Adelind and Ridley). Beverly also leaves behind extended family and numerous dear friends.
In her early years, Beverly was primarily a stay at home parent. She did, however, work as a representative for Avon and Tupperware, and thoroughly enjoyed the imbedded social opportunities.
Beverly would later work for Laurel Hills Development Center, and San Juan Unified School District. In both positions, she fully and wholeheartedly supported individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.
Beverly was a woman of faith who deeply loved her family and friends, the ocean, robust conversations, singing, word games, quality food, and being the center of attention. Most recently, she renewed her love of reading and enjoyed watching tv; specifically Pit Bulls and Parolees, The Curse of Oak Island and Survivor.
Her sense of humor stands out as a predominant trait, as well as her generosity, candidness, honesty and integrity.
Stanley Buzzelle II:
Ralph was my best friend for many years and sadly he passed recently - On our summer vacation before our senior year in high school, Ralph and I went on a cross-country trip, driving from California to Norfolk Virginia where my older sister and her husband were living. We were supposed to be camping for the summer on the property my parents owned in Arizona mountains. We did send some post cards to our parents and headed east across country to visit my sister and my brother-in-law. We obviously couldn't use the gas cards our parents gave to us and decided that we would siphon gas from government vehicles after those offices closed. It was successful enterprise, and we never took gas from anyone except local government vehicles after those offices were closed for the night.
When we got to my sister's house, my brother-in-law called our parents and advised that he and my sister would watch over us and then send us home. We could now use the gas cards because our parents now knew where we were. after a nice visit, we successfully made our way back to Ventura Calif.
Ralph and I were very best friends for many years after our trip, and I miss him a very, very much and I always will.

Happy Mother’s Day!!! - Kanella was like a grandmother to me. She would pick me up after school, take care of me while my parents were working. I will never forget her being there at every single life event, even when my own biological grandparents couldn’t be there.
She would help with my homework as much as she could. If not she would have her daughter Lorraine assist with the day’s assignment.
One thing I will always remember her by will be by her cooking and how she would make me help her in the kitchen. It was so much fun and therapeutic.
You see this is not something that I could share with my own biological grandmothers, so I treasure to this day those special moments. She was to me, what you call in the Italian-American culture, my nonna.
Although my life had a different path in store for me, there has always been a passion for the kitchen and the art of creating a meal from scratch no matter how many dishes nor utensils are involved in the process. Cooking with passion and for the reward of a potpourri of rich aromas seeping out of her 2nd story apartment and into the hallway and stairs of the 5 story tenement building in Washington Heights.
Thank you for all the great memories.
Your favorite kerata (colloquial Greek term loosely meaning ‘rascal’),

I have an old studio photograph of Guy KETTERER which was taken at the Burkholder & Co. Studio in Orrville, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Guy appearing to be about 3 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Guy and his family:
Guy David Dewitt KETTERER was b. 8 Oct 1889 in Cleveland or Apple Creek, OH to parents William “Willie” KETTERER (1862-1913) and Sybil Della BARNES (1864-1942) who were married 6 May 1884 in Wayne County, OH. Guy was one of four children born to this couple including Cora E.; Baby Boy; Baby Boy; and Guy David Dewitt KETTERER, all born between 1884 and 1889. Guy married twice, first to Caroline STOCKON (1893-1931) on 2 Apr 1918 in Hillsborough County, FL and second to Anna “Annie” Margaret or Marie SANDS (1874-1958) in 1933 in Pinellas County, FL, they divorced in 1951.
Guy died 28 Jul 1955 in Tampa, FL and is buried in the Westlawn Cemetery in Mount Eaton, OH.
I would like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

Wonderful father in law - Belt was a great father in law. We loved him dearly. A large guy, over 6 ft tall. He died too early. Ric and Acey helped him add a bonus room and after his death the guys finished it for my cryptic mother in law. She lived in there I assume until her death. Belt would have been very mad on how she treated her son. Ric misses his dad everyday. Ric is a great husband that Belt would have been proud. Belt was in the service yet there was no military remembrance at his death. Belt is gone and missing him is an understatement. God bless you Belt, we love you.
Dale Parsons:
Friend of the family and ministering brother - Bingham was a delightful young man. He was an exceptional volleyball player who had a great future as a collegiate player. He had great athleticism and leaping ability and could reach high above the net to spike the ball. He also performed Polynesian dancing and singing and could play the ukulele. He had myriads of friends and was constantly out and about and active. He was a faithful young man in his church. Well before taking ill and passing away, he was asked what he felt about dying. He calmly responded, "If I go, I go." The cause of his death was Valley Fever. He battled it in ICU for 3 months. He would get better, then worse, then better again. His family finally decided they needed to seek God's will and not just theirs in regards to a hopeful recovery. Three days later, he passed away. The large church that hosted his funeral was packed full. More than 200 copies of the Book of Mormon with his family picture and his personal testimony were given away at the services. As in life, Bingham was all over the place in death. His brother felt his presence on his mission in Washington, his best friend had multiple experiences with him in Guatemala, and his cousin felt his presence and influence on his mission in the Virginia-DC area. Recently, I randomly crossed paths with a young man from his volleyball team more than 15 years since he left us. I have happy and grateful memories for my time with Bingham and his family.
