2nd Angelversary  / Pappy Rich &. Grandma Lu

Time has taken me from you,

although not very far.

I'll be watching through the sunshine

And through the brightest star.

 

I'll be watching all of you,

From the heavens up above.

So take good care of each other

And carry all my love.

 

If you're ever wondering

If I'm there, here's where you can start.

Take a look inside yourself

Deep within your heart.

 

I'll always be your baby,

your child (grandchild), your best friend.

So anytime you need me,

Close your eyes I'm back again.

 

Dana, Rich, Sierra & Shane,

Our thoughts and love with you everyday but even more

at this time. I hope Paige finds a way to send strength and her love to you.

Thinking Of You all  / Krista Peranteau

Hi Dana,

Just wanted to chime in...im in awe over everything that is happening to you with the memorial park that Paige is resting at...I know the cemetarys around here are weird about things too! If your planning on spending a day out there for birthdays, and angelversarys i'd still bring everything and decorate it for the day and before you leave take it down...maybe find out if you can put up a couple shepards hooks and have things dangle from them? I hope you can find somethings that you can leave up!!!

I know Paiges 2nd angel date is coming. We just had kelseys last tuesday and it was surreal. Everyone that came planted a flower in her garden, we released tons of balloons and just sat with family.

I just want  you to know your all in my thoughts and prayers as the following days approach. And I know you'll be doing everything in your power to make it a special day for Paige. I hope it goes as smooth as it can given the circumstances.

Wishin you all the best....

Always

krista, Cousin to angel Kelsey Leigh Lindberg

Almost 2 years  / Mom
Paige, I'm really not wanting the next several days to come! I hate that my phone isn't letting me lite candles on here and it is too much work for me to write a long tribute! You know I've never been a very good texter. Lol I wish more than anything that we could go back to 2 years ago today and be able to know and change things before the 17th happened! Life is so unfair! I love and miss you more and more everday baby! Mom Close

Dream / Dedra Roach

Paige,

       I'm sorry I haven't been on here very much. I do think about you all the time though. I had a dream about you last night. I got the news that I will be deploying the Iraq in May or even sometime sooner than that. All I could think about was me dying young, like you, but I guess that's kind of what I signed up for. I don't know if that's what triggered the dream or what? I had a dream that I was putting American flags all around your grave and rearranging the flowers. It's sounds weird, I know. I woke up and just layed there. I couldn't go back to bed. I just had thought of remorse for your family, and everyone elses family who lost a child. Stay close to your family. Tell Caleb I said hello and I love him.

Signs.. =]  / Chelsey Stockdale (Friend forever )
Paige<3

I was so happy to finally get over an visit you again the other day. =] I sat on your bench for awhile in the breeze and just let everything in. I know you were there with me because while I was signing your book this bug kept flying at my head. I would swat at it and then it would come back but as soon as I was done writing it was gone. No lie, lol I was like what the heck is with this bug? Then I thought to myself, Paige, lol your teasing the crap out of me. It was nice though to know you were there. After being there for awhile I went ahead and got ready to leave and what do you know, there were two spiders just sitting on my wind sheild. This was another sign that convinced me you were there, esp because your mom always had spiders show up around her and she said that in her book signs can come in the forms of insects. I just smiled and got in my car and left. I'm glad to know you let me know you were with me, it was nice.

When I was leaving the cemetary I saw a family pulling in going into the chapel for a gathering for their lost loved one and it just brought back all the memories of doing that for you. In fact, it upset me a lot and I lost it. I just started balling in my car, the hole way home. Seeing that family hugging and crying, makes me think of your family and all your friends you left and made me think of what we all went through. It sucks, it really does girl. I miss you like crazy along with sooooooo many other people. I would give ANYTHING to have you back here with us, I really would. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.

Just know I love you & miss you so much.

Never foget you  / Walter &. Faith Anchors (Friend/Coach)
Hey Paige. The other weekend I got to have dinner and spend time with your family in Columbus for the JO Regional Tournament. I must say that we thoroughly enjoyed their company. You can't imagine how you and your family have influenced our lives. We will NEVER forget you or them no matter where I go. Until then. We love and miss you. Close

Almost 2 Years..  / Chelsey Stockdale (Friend Forever )
Paige,
Hey girrly =] I know it's been forever since I have wrote you and I'm sorry. Things have been so hectic with me finishing up school and starting my new job. I still feel bad though. I used to write you almost everyday if not every other and I think it's been almost a month or a little longer since I last wrote.

I can't believe that it will be 2 years next month since you were stolen away from us. It feels like so much longer. I was talking to my mom about it the other day in the car and she even commented about how she couldn't believe its really been that long. It just makes you appreciate the little things in life and really not take anything or anyone for granted. I know you have def taught me a lot. I still keep wishing this was a bad, long nightmare and that when I wake up tomorrow your going to be here, happy and living life. Although, I know that won't ever happen its always nice to wish. When I think about you I still can't believe your gone. You would think by now its easier to accept but it really isn't. I still don't believe it half the time. Looking at your pictures, seeing your smile, peace sign and how happy you were its hard to believe your gone. It's just not fair. I will never understand why God had to take you when he did, why he couldn't have waited till you were a little old lady that lived her life. 17 was and is way too young. Guess none of us will ever understand.

I will be visiting you soon since I havent had a chance since your birthday, maybe tomorrow before work if I can. Send some signs when I'm there like you usually do please. I haven't had any in a long long time.

I miss you & love you so so much girl.
I know your up there having a blast and smiling down on us.

Love you!

Chelsey Close

Another 17th without u here!  / Mom

5-17-09 23 months since your seizure.

Paige,

Things have changed so much in life since you left us.  I wish you were here to see how much Sierra and Shane have grown up!  See how much Karlee and Gavin have grown....to see Grant for the first time.  It is so unfair that you were stollen away from us when you had so much left in life to experience!  I will never get over being mad about all of this!!!!  Never!!!  I have learned to live with it but will never get past being furious with God.  Sorry!

All of your friends have just finished their first year of college now or are getting ready to graduate from high school.  You didn't get to do either.  I look at how much all of your friends have changed and wonder everyday what you would look like now.  I always wonder how you would be wearing your hair now.  I see pictures of your friends all hanging out and there is a void in each one for me.  I look at them and think Paige would be right here in this one.

We have new dogs since you left us and we always talk about which ones you would and wouldn't like.  Of course you would have complained about all of them being annoying.  lol

Next month will be 2 years.  It seems so much longer than that since I've been able to talk to you, smell your hair, touch your soft skin and hair and hug you, tell you I love you!  Seems like years and years.  I can't imagine what it will feel like when it has been 10 years.  I can't imagine still being here 10 years without you.  I read the paper and see where a lady passes away and see that she was preceded in death by a child and I always think to myself that they are finally together again.  I almost feel happy for them.  I can't believe that is the only way to see you again someday.

Please continue to send me strength to get through each new day without you.  I pray each night for the strength to get through the next day without you.  I know that you are sending me strength or I would have curled up into a ball somewhere and died by now.

I love and miss you more and more everyday honey!

Mom

I miss you!  / Richelle Miller (Friend)
Hey Paige! I miss you so much! I'm sorry I haven't been on here that much to write to you like I want to. I just hate not having you around to talk to, and tell all my problems to. You always were there for me and always told me what I wanted to hear whether it'd be the right thing or not.  I stopped the other day to see you, it just breaks my heart going into that cemetary. But everyday I'm in calcutta I always look over there and there is always someone at your area and Amanda's. You two are missed so much. I always see your braclets on people's arms, or your shirts that people wear. I break down inside and think to myself, why did you have to leave us so soon.. I'll never understand that... I know i'm a few days late but I wanted to tell you Happy Birthday, even though it's not very happy! I love you and I miss you more than anything in this world!!! You're my little angel! <3 Close

=[ / Ashley

Hey paige, i miss you so much... Todays was a very hard day for me.... I remember your birthday like it was the other day, on our way to eat and ur left turn signal light died!! Haha it was so funny you didnt want to turn left infront of a cop car so you turned right and went up this huge hill and then turned around again.  We jammed out to jigga jigga jigga jigga, and said that the song was made for your big butt!! THEN we made dena keep asking the waitier for drinks because everytime he came back he asked us if we need anything else this time.. and you guys wouldnt let me put my number on the napkin!! i was very upset about that... but its ok i still love you.. I dont really remember the rest of that day but im sure we partied at denas or something cool like that, But i wish we could do it again sometime but in my dreams we talk everyday.. Im SOO happy that i dream about you... Its always a werid dream like your still gone in my dreams but i can still huge you and talk to you and tell you how much i miss you.  Its crazyy but i love it, i feel so good when i wake up in the morning and you were in my dreams and i hope u still are in the future... but its late and i need to go see u.. so im going to go get a balloon and let it off with kels.. I love you and i hope u had a wonderful birthday little girl!!! Stay with me..

Paige Marie:

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday with you friends and family. They all miss you so much.

I wish you were here also, because honey, if you could see the impact that you have had, you would be so overwhelmed and happy! We all knew you were a great kid but my gosh, what you have accomplished in your passing, I would love to have seen what you could have accomplished here with us. It is not fair because someone that had so much to offer, was taken way too early!

Chelsey still talks about you all the time. I know she, as well as your other many friends, miss you and think of you constantly. It is hard with them at school, but I know they keep you close. Many of them from pictures I have seen, have your magnets or pictures in their room, taking you to college with them.

Sweetie, stay close to your family! I know they love you and miss you so much and really need to know you are around.

Well Happy Heavenly 19th Birthday - Just wish you were here!

Love you sweetheart!

Your 19th Birthday!  / Aunt Traci 4-17-09

Paige,

I keep wondering what you would be doing now????  19 yrs old, you had so much to do and look forward to, it is just not fair.  You are always on my mind, when something happens I think what would Paige have said.. done... or would Paige like this or whatever.   Today when I got the balloons, 19 to be exact, I was trying to put them in my car.  It was a perfect example of what NOT to do.  By the time I was done my hair was standing straight up with static and the balloons were completely tangled, my first thought was Paige would have thought this was so funny!!!!

After all of that, we finally got them untangled and attached the tags.  We walked down away from the trees, by that time with about 17 balloons.  Well it was not good, out of 17, 9 got stuck in trees, so Uncle Eric, Karlee and Shane worked very hard and got them out of the trees and into the air (ok a couple went from one tree to another????).   Sometime in the middle of all of this your moms truck alarm went off??  The keys were in her console, but before I could hit the button to turn it off, it just stopped.  So I guess my question is, were you with us today????   

We saw alot of your friends today, Kris even brought Sampson, it was nice seeing both of them.  So many people visited today and brought ballons and flowers, they are so nice, to bad the can't last forever, but then again I guess nothing lasts forever!! 

I just wish I could talk to you again, even in a dream, it would be better than nothing I guess.  I don't believe that time will heal the pain, I believe time only lets you learn how to deal with the pain in different ways. 

I miss you so much!!

Love you,

Aunt Traci

Your 19th Birthday!  / Mom 4-17-09

Paige,

You would have been so pumped to be turning another year older.....but no, you weren't allowed to have that chance!

So I had a horrible night last night and this morning. This website not working right has made it even harder to deal with not having you here! My afternoon was good though. So many friends and family for six hours coming and going at the cemetery. Letting off balloons and just visiting. Kris came with Sampson "Big John". Sampson is still so cute! So many flowers and balloons. There wasn't much more room around your stone. It looked beautiful!

We let 19 balloons go after the kids got there from school......funny thing though. 9 of them ended up in the trees. lol I told everyone that it was you and you were having a great time with it! Then shortly after that we were all standing around talking and my truck alarm went off. My keys were in the truck which was empty and Rich's keys were in his car which was empty. Aunt Traci ran up to hit the button on my keys and it shut off right when she got there. THANKS BABY! I needed that! Everyone just looked around at each other and then started laughing. We need signs from you to keep going everyday!

So many of your friends made the trip in from school just to visit you today! It amazes me every day how much these kids all still miss you. I would have thought that they would have moved on with their lives and forgot about you. You are "unforgettable"!

I loved seeing everyone today! Sorry if I missed anyone! I was there six hours and had to leave to take stuff to the track meet. People were coming as I was leaving. I hated not being there every minute!

I love & miss you so much baby!

Mom

19 th B-day  / Rich StepDaddy Dearest

I can't believe another birthday is here, 2nd one without you!!! I miss you so much kid. This is so unfair, not only to us, but to the whole world. You had so much to offer.

I wish that I would've told you more often how much you meant to me before it was too late. I got to tell you in the end but it was too late then, I should've said it more before that awful day.

Paige, there is so much that I want to say right now, but I'm at work and there is alot going on here too,  I don't have enough time to tell ya everything that I want to say. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and to let you know how much I miss  and Love you. Oh I do miss you so much.

                                  Love ya

Miss You.  / Chelsey Stockdale (Friend Forever )
Hi Love,

I just thought I would drop by and write you something since I haven't in a couple weeks. I can't believe your 19th birthday is Friday, it makes me sad that you won't be here to celebrate it. I know you will be though up in the sky, no doubt. =]

The past two years since we lost you we have lost so many young people. Losing you was the first big punch in the stomach and then shortly after we lost Amanda. That was another punch in the stomach for not only friends but your family. Then little Paige Haney passed on your one year and then from then on we've lost a few others from car wrecks, suicides, it just doesn't seem fair. All these young amazing kids, who had so much to live for are gone. Lives cut short, dreams and hopes shattered. I don't understand why you ever had to leave us and I never will nor do I understand why were losing so many young people in our community.

I am going to buy you a couple balloons for your birthday and come to see you, hopefully I see your mother too and hopefully its a hot and beautiful day. =]

See you soon gorgeous.
i love you and miss you so much.
how about a dream?

Another April without you.  / Mom

4-9-09

Paige,

This has been a very hard month for me.  Your birthday is the 17th, Easter is this weekend and Amanda's 1 year Angelversary was yesterday.  :(

I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!  I had a dream about you last night but remember very little about it.  I hate that!  I have very little dreams about you and then when I am blessed with one, I don't remember most of it!  That is so messed up!

I was lying in bed this morning thinking about the fact that your 19th birthday was coming up and how you couldn't wait to be 17 so you could get in rated R movies.  You finally made it and I only remember you going to one.  What do you expect though???  You were only allowed to be here for two more months after turning 17.    You couldn't wait to turn 18 so that you could go into bars and watch drunk people.  I always told you that was such a great goal in life and we would laugh.  Here we are about a week away from your 19th birthday now.  You never got to experience anything that you had waited so long for.  Life is so unfair!!!!

I wish more than anything we could go back and change all of this.  I can't so I have to keep going through every new day like I'm fine.  I'm not fine! This hurts so much!  When I think of dumb little things that tear me up unexpectedly it is still like a HUGE punch in my stomach and it takes my breath away!  I find my self trying not to cry more than crying now when I'm out away from home.  I feel like it has been 22 months and people expect me to be ok now.  I try to hide it from EVERYONE!  I still would love to crawl into a hole and go to sleep and not wake up!

I love you baby!

Mom

Everyone keeps asking me what we are doing or if we are doing anything for Paige's birthday.  I'm not planning on anything big.  Sierra has a track meet that day.    I'm planning on being at the cemetery most of the day off and on.  I'm planning on releasing a few balloons while I'm there with the kids and Rich.  I am going to make up some tags and leave them there.  If anyone wants to stop by with a balloon that day and tie the tag on and release it they can.

IF YOU WRITE A TRIBUTE MAKE SURE YOU HIGHLIGHT AND COPY SO THAT YOU CAN PASTE IT IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU.  IF HAVE TRIED TO SUBMIT THIS ONE A FEW TIMES NOW.  PAIGE'S SITE IS SO BIG THAT IT CAUSES THEM PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT!  SORRY!
