This is a poem that I stumbled upon (author unknown):

Always a silent hurt,
many a silent tear,
but always a beautiful memory
of one we loved so dear.

God gave us strength to bear it,
and courage to take the blow,
but what it meant to lose you

...no one will ever know.





I was born and raised in Norfolk, VA. I've lived in FL, NY, CA, WA, and OR. I was married to my best friend in San Diego over 38 years ago. We now live in the beautiful great Northwest. We have four wonderful children and we've been blessed with ten grandchildren.

I found Find A Grave by accident. It has become one of my favorite sites to visit. It has given me a place that I can remember my mother and my sister Sandy and honor their memory right from my desk. Thank you Find A Grave.

Strangers in the Box
By Pamela A. Harazim

Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.
I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like.
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where, when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be tossed away?
Make time to save your pictures,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.

It would be nice
...if you'd add my mother to your "Mom's of Findagrave Friends". In the meantime, we should add each other as friends!! What do you think???

Hi Neil-
You are just the BEST for visiting my beloved and his parents! Thank you! Also- I feel I've gotten to know your mom so well- I just LOVE her and can't wait to meet her! I confess I'm not as close to your sister because it breaks my heart that she died so young, and I get sad when I visit her. You are a good friend to all, Neil.

Hello and Good Morning - Just wanted to drop a quick note and tell you how much your kindness is appreciated. You have left flowers and tokens on some of the memorials that I manage or have sponsored, specifically on my granny Iva's memorial. It really touches my heart that you take the time to do that.
Thanks so much.
All The Best,
Jami

Thank you for visiting my daughter Ripley Marie Weber on what should be her 16th Birthday. I certainly appreciate all of the visits and kind notes that are left for her. I lost my sweet mom recently and the past year of her ailing health has taken its toll on my pops and me.

I hope all is well with you and your family and again I thank you.

Friends, Sebastian

God bless.

Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the flowers on Merton and Marguerite Barber's memorials. They are two of the absolute dearest people who were ever in my life, the loss of which I still feel quite deeply, even after many years since they passed. Your consideration for them means a lot to me. Thanks so much. :o]

Strangers in the Box
Hello - wondering if I may have permission to share the poem about Strangers in the Box, with my family? It is one that I have not seen before, and I'm sure all genealogists can identify with it. Thank you! Clc
