Comments ^stormin, I've tried to come here a few times to leave you a message
but it always became very difficult. Finding the words was not the problem, they
are easy to come by for anyone who knew you, it was typing them in the screen
that became troublesome. I feel so sad that you are gone and although we never
met in person, we talked many times on #genealogyforum. I welcomed those moments
as everyone else did! ^stormin, you are a good friend who always offered to help
someone when they needed it. Always a happy person who always "talked"
happily on the net and ^storm, you will always be a part of the channel and at
everyone's request I put a rose in your place on the map (Tex said you loved
roses). Thank you so much for your help in #genealogyforum and in a few years
I'll come up and see you, we can talk again and continue to try and find those
elusive ancestors. Maybe it's just a short walk down the path to visit them.
Hope you finally find them all and your tree jumps by thousands. Take care, Rich

of your dear one living still Where the road goes on without end. It is only we
who do not see The path beyond the bend. One day we too shall see beyond the

may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to
understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is
in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to
eternal life.
