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."
Jan Robertson:
John was my baby brother. After John graduated he spent the summer with me in Minneapolis and after he returned to Ivanhoe he would visit me. We had a good relationship. We would go shopping, go to antique stores near Ivanhoe, casino by Pipestone, and just visiting, etc. I would talk to him everyday. I miss John and love him. I wish he was still with us. May God be kind to his soul, RIP.

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.
Jessica Moulton:
My Great Grandmother - Consuelo Trevino-Flores was my great grandmother. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was two, but I am eager to learn and share as much as I can about her and my great grandfather, Jose Flores. They were both wonderful people who came from nothing and sacrificed all they had to ensure better lives for their family.
Thomas Foster:
What happened to her? - Hi, I went to high school with Michelle @ Washington/Monroe High back in the late 70's early 80's and I would see her from time to time in the Portland area until about roughly 1999-2000, I only learned of her death last year when I was trying find her through a people search, I have tried several times to make contact with people who were said to be her family members but so far none of them have reached out to me, I need to know what happened so please let me know if you can, Michelle was my friend and I dearly miss her, Thank you
Maria Klein:
All these years and I still miss him - I don't know if anyone will ever read this but he deserves to be remembered. I Knew Pete from the time I was two until his death when I was only 12. I am heartbroken that I'm unable to find any obituary or information on him anywhere. So here are a couple of my memories of him.
Fist off I adored that old man. I was just two years old when I first met him and his wife Sophie. I would squeeze myself under the fence between our homes and "runaway" to their house because they would give me ice cream.
Peter and I would sit and watch boxing matches together. I was once told he was a golden gloves boxer but I don't really know if it's true. There was a fun story about when he was in his 60's or so and at the bar having a drink. A young guy came in and wouldn't stop harassing him so when Peter finally had enough he cold cocked the young man then calmly went back to his drink.
He would also sit in his truck to drink and throw the beer cans out in the yard. For every beer can I brought him he would give me a 2-dollar bill. When I was little I thought it was the greatest game ever.
He bought me my first bike and hid it out in his shed. He once asked me to tell him who was on the 100 dollar bill. When I told him he gave me the 100 dollars. I don't know how he was with other people but that old fart treated me like a little princess. I never doubted for a minute that he loved me. I was heartbroken when I went to the hospital and told him goodby for the last time. I wish I had more memories of him and his wife Sophie who was just as wonderful to me.
Gloria MCGUIGAN:
A childlike sweet soul - I met Martha working at Burdines Distribution Center. We quickly became friends and went through a few crossroads in our respective lives together. I have so many memories of her and her unique sense of humor. She tended to be blunt as a spoon and often would speak her mind. If you wanted an honest opinion of how your hair looked or how an outfit fit on you, ask Martha. She coined words like "amiguites" and La Madam which all her friends including me still use today.
I remember one funny anecdote of when we were working at Burdines together. She had put a candy in her mouth then promptly made a face and spit it out. She turns to me and says, "Este caramelo sabe a mierda. Quieres uno?" That means, This candy tastes like sh**. You want one? I burst out laughing because she was being serious not joking. I answered, "After that eloquent review? No thanks.
I dream of her sometimes and I'd like to believe it's her spirit visiting with me a while. I miss you amiguites. I know you're keeping Jesus laughing with your beautifully innocent and funny antics.
Essence Guilliams:
Trying to find relative of Mr. C.P. Brown - Found Carl Preston Brown's Residence Certificate inside an old book. It's from the Gov of Ryukyu Islands. I would like to have it returned to the family. My phone number is 254*******. Please send message. I can send his picture as it is in this little certificate book.
Family is important and I know this would be a treasure.
