Happy Easter to Bryan and Family / Myra Barton Andrei's Mom
"Jesus said to her, "I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?" (John 11:25)
Lord, we do believe that! We cling to that hope with all that is within us. It is that promise that gets us through the day and gives us hope for the future. Thank you for reassuring us that death for your children is merely a passage into a perfect world, where you will one day wipe away all our tears. Thank you for EASTER.

In Loving Tribute to Bryan / Ladonna, Allen's Mom (POS) Lois, your son Bryan is such a beautiful person. You have created a wonderful tribute to him through this memorial site. I know our hearts share the same pain as we have both lost our beloved sons. I know it is some comfort to you to know that Bryan is no longer in pain and suffering. I would like to think that he and Allen have become friends and are sharing Heaven's beauty together. I like to think of them being friends because you are so special and such an inspiration to me. God Bless you. Lots of love.
Your messages sent to heaven !" / Mom (Mom) Bryan, today we had a little ceremony for you at the park down by Clackmette River, I sent up balloons for you and Terrye's son Jonathon, I know you both saw them. I wanted you to know that Betty was very depressed about losing you today also, and I want you to know she loves you as much as your other sister. Although you two didn't have the time together that may of been, doesn't mean she doesn't know that losing you is forever and is in pain.
She is so much like you hon, and she needs the love and support not just from me, but from the children who have abandonded her, when she is really trying her best. She is judged like some people do, for mistakes in the past regardless of what she is doing to make her life better now. It's unfair, and I know that you would not appreciate what people say about her. Until one walks in the shoes you both have and do, they should not judge. Depression is a very serious illness and needs people to stand by and support them, love them. always. Doesn't mean they should be used, but love should not be taken away because someone is ill. I pray for her each night, for I know that with continued love and support she will make it. Please In your humble situation and many many friends, Send a prayer for your sister Betty. Help her to see a reason to stay with us, and not hear the voices that came to you.
Loving you always and forever in memory of my mind.
Mom

Dear Lois, You have a beautiful website to honor your beloved son Bryan. Only a parent who has lost a child to suicide truly understands the pain that you are going through. I understand my friend. No matter what anyone else says, you and your precious Bryan know the truth. Bryan is very much loved by you and, you did the best in life that you could for your son. I know that your heart is breaking but, you have many happy memories of your son that no one can take away from you.
so sorry for your loss / Poppy Helgren (POS)
to Bryan's family:
What a handsome boy and man Bryan became. The loss of a child to suicide has to be to worst loss that a parent can be faced with in this life. I am so sorry that any one of us has to endure this kind of pain. My thoughts are with you, Lois, and know that the parents of POS are here for you.
With love, Poppy Pam's Mom 12/17/80-6/17/05
Bryan I am sure is having a great day fishing in Heaven. / Someone Who Cares
I am sure your Angel Bryan is having a great day fishing in Heaven. He is at peace and there is no pain where he is. I understand though that you are hurting but God will send you strength, comfort, and peace. I will also be praying for you and your family.
Soft as a feather your name Touches my lips, My mind, my heart. Bittersweet Feelings of love And loss fill me suddenly. Joy, I've found at last, Is touched by sadness And emptiness without you. And yet, I live. I breathe and go on As best I can. Bravely, I dream of conversations And escapades, Though now just memories, So real for a moment. I cry for myself. The helplessness is terrifying And cruel. The quiet thunders in my ears. Memories of a smile, A look, a laugh, flood my mind until I laugh and cry for want of you. Oh how I wish Things could be different, If only for a moment more with you. I bless your name and God For his love in letting me know you. For our whole lifetime together. Like music, your spirit surrounds me, Bearing me up when my heart sinks. I thank God for you, my angel, Every time I speak your name,

Let us be a light one to the other.
Please know that from now until the day I die,
You will be remembered in my prayers each and every
night.
In Him Always,
Marla

I am so sorry about Bryan and you have my sincerest and deepest condolences. / Rose Another Survivor To all of you who are hurting because of the death of this beautiful person. I am sincerely sorry and have only deepest of compassion for all of you. I wish people like the poster, Daria, would take time to eduate themselves about suicide and the many causes of it. It is caused by an illness often gone undiagnoised untill it's to late. No one wants to admit that they are ill. Sadly alot of times people know they need help but often don't seek it because of the stigma attached to the illness. Mom, please don't blame yourself for what happened, my brother was so good at hiding his and since he lived in another state we were not aware that he was self-mediating himself (or so he thought) with alcohol. But what he failed to understand is that alcohol only makes depression worse. It also intensifies any underlying illness such as bi-polar, schizophrenia, chemical embalances in the brain, neurological disorders, ect. and so they fail to realize that alcohol only hurts more than it helps. Please don't let heartless, ignorant people who say "I don't understand ", they say that because they have never walked in that persons shoes, they obviously don't know anything about the illnesses that cause suicides, and have no right to pass judgement on others. They may have intentions to help but they need to realize that they don't understand and should have more compassion on the families of these who are in so much pain. I have had people make remarks like " I don't undrstand why' and I say well isn't it time you educate yourself because nearly ever 15 minutes someone in the U.S. takes their lives because they need help not criticism like people who are ignorant enough to make such remarks. I am sorry if I sound harsh but I think it's because people like that, many times are the reason why so many don't seek help. People still use the term "committed " after 2000 years, which is so wrong. First of all there's no crime involved in this, although there once was and intead of having compassion for people like this and their families they actually even went as far as to torment and kill the entire family when something so sad happens. Stigma has to end somwhere if we expect to change this way of thinking. I say to them, stop and think before you speak, educate yourself, and have some compassion for the victims of suicide and compassion for their loved ones. I hope you also relaize that you probely are depressed too Mom and need to seek help with dealing with this pain.. Prayers and hugs to you and your family.And may God have mercy on those who are so unsympathetic. I will be praying for you and your loved ones. Rose
No Greater Loss / Linda Stilson (friend on POS ) Lois, I am so sorry for the loss of your son Bryan and the pain that it leaves you. His situation reminded me so much of my son's. I married when my son was three years old. My husband adopted my son when he was five but I sometimes wonder if he was unable to accept the fact that another man fathered him. My hus band had two children from his marriage and he treated them different than he did my son. It was like he was always looking for him to make mistakes. So he became rebellious and had alot of bad memories of his childhood. His relationship improved as he got older and they became respectful of each other.If I had it to do over again, I would never marry anyone who had children. I hope you are filled with lots of wonderful memories of your Bryan to help you through these hard times. Take care, Linda, mother of Michael Joseph
Dearest Bryan / Doris Heasman (none) Hi Bryan
I stopped by just to say hello and get to know you a bit better. Please give your precious Mom strength to carry this awful pain hun . take care Love Doris
Passing by.... / Daria (None) I do not know you or your son but I just view these sites to to pay my respects and offer my condolescences. It tears me apart to know that people think that taking their own lives is the ultimate solution to their problems. I just don't get it. Suicide actually kills everyone involved with that person. Only one does it affect physically. Everyone else, its an emotional killing that lasts until the day they pass on. You have my prayers. You did a fine job with your boy, believe that.
