God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
Love you very much mom, and don't worry we know you are always watching over us.

For part of us went with you

You left us tender memories

And though we cannot see you
you are always by our side
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again

E-mail sent to me that was just touching.
Dear Ms. Strow,
I played basketball at Dekalb High School in the early 1970s and was lucky enough to have had Ramer (Ramar? I always thought it was that spelling) as my varsity basketball coach.
I just wanted you to know that I had plenty of experiences with many coaches, not all of them good, but Coach Wakenight was by far the best coach I ever had and, more importantly, I was extremely impressed by his integrity. He was a straight shooter who really cared about the students he encountered, and he went out of his way to help if necessary. I always knew that whatever advice he gave me, and he did give me plenty outside of basketball, I could feel that I would be doing the right thing by following that advice. If you asked me today who was the person I most respected from my almost 20 years in school, he would top the list.
My memories of him (I can still remember what he looked like) will always be with me which I supposed is clearly verified by the fact that I have periodically looked on the internet to see if I could find what had happened to him in recent years, including today, after 35+ years. I was certainly sad to see that he had passed away almost 10 years ago.
