Here is a simple marker for those wonderful souls I have known throughout my brief, but lovely, time on this world we call Earth. Each person listed on this page is someone who affected my life in one way or another. Some were relatives. Some were friends. All were important to me. Our lives are the sum of our experiences, and the people we meet along the way are part of the experience. Each of these people helped make me who I am.

“I sing of dreams to pass the time,
As I drift ‘tween heaven and hell,
And I quote a sweet but haunting rhyme,
For the souls I’ve known, as well.
I say farewell as best as I can,
With the sadly lacking eloquence of man,
But the words are never grand,
Enough to honor …”
~ Wicasta Lovelace
