Flowers at the Cemetery Gates
Flowers
at the cemetery gate

Many visitors have left flowers for all people interred in the World Wide Cemetery. Some of these, along with some flowers left at individual monuments, are included here. We are touched by the thoughtfulness of so many of you who have taken the time to remember our loved ones.

Flowers in hand & a prayer in my heart for all dear departed.

Some Easter Lilly's to all,
From the Tree of life, each leaf must fall.
The green, the gold, the great, the small;
Each one in God's own time,
He'll call with perfect love, he gathers all.

I would like to leave flowers for a child who lies nameless in the Ivy Hill Cemetary in Philadelphia. In 1957 this young boy was found, left nude in a cardboard box, in what was then a dumping grounds. Almost 50 years have passed and no one has ever come forward to identify this boy. A child between 4-6 years old. Someone beat him to death and then threw him away. No child deserves to suffer the abuse he endured. No child deserves to die at the hands of the person trusted to care for him. No child deserves to be left without any identity in a dump. I am sorry sweet boy, that you did not experience the love you deserved in life. I would have loved you.

We cherish the memory of all those gone before us. They live on in memory's sweet kiss. Their spirits live on and their love survives in our hearts. We feel their presence in the small sudden occurences of daily life. They have not lived in vain. We know that they have merely transitioned to a better place, as a butterfly emerges from its cocoon. My Sincere Respects, Carol Voeks

I hope I can make an impact in these children's lives so as to prevent the pain and loss you have encountered. I leave daisies to all of the memorials, so the parents can go on with their lives.

Today I leave flowers for all of those that we have loved. For my daddy and momma, my two sisters and my brother. I will see you all again someday in heaven. I love you all. For my husband's father and mother, he misses you both so much... we leave you both all the flowers that were yet to be grown by her in her most extraordinary way of growing them. The hurt never goes away. All our love John and Janie

What a wonderful way to express your grief and sorrow, and be able to revisit the memorials of your loved ones that have departed. To all that have suffered the loss of a loved one, my sincerest condolences, but may you find some comfort in knowing that your loved ones are at peace and are watching over us. I too have suffered the loss of lots of friends (young and old); nobody can fathom the suffering and grief one feels. So to all that have left a memorial for friends and relatives, sons or daughters, my heart goes out to you all
Rest in eternal peace,

For two and a half months after my mumma died, I maintained an eerie composure. Today it crumbled. I was crying before I found this site and I was bawling as I read the messages. Now, I feel warm and a little comforted as I leave an open armful of freshly picked forget-me-nots on each memorial. To Estelle Margaret Duffy, my mumma, I leave my heart. I miss you. I love you.

I'm leaving a small boquet of forget-me-nots and some lily of the valley for all those remembered here. I think you have to have lost someone dear to fully appreciate a site like this one. I'm so glad to know that all of those here will be remembered in this place and honoured by those they loved.
God forgive me if I ask why

Curiosando per il cimitero virtuale non potevamo non lasciare un fiore a tutti quelli che solo fisicamente non ci sono più! Esprimendo poi una modesta opinione abbiamo trovato l'idea del "cimitero virtuale" molto positiva perchè permette a noi ancora in vita di conoscere ed apprezzare piccole e grandi gesta di persone che seppure sconosciute in qualche modo ci aiutano e fanno riflettere su quanto ancora possiamo e dobbiamo fare.

What a beautiful place. May all those who have lost loved ones remember their smiles, hugs, laughter, care, sacrifices, guidance and love and find peace in those memories. I was going to leave the names of my loved ones who have passed, but suddenly and sadly find there are too many to mention. May they all know how much they were loved, admired, cherished, and forgiven. Laurie

The people we love are like pillars that support the roof that is our lives. When we lose them to death our whole life changes. We look around us at our loved ones and unconciously choose others to take their place for: emotional and/or physical support. This is not being disrespectful to the dead rather it shows how much we needed them in our life. I leave roses; darkest red, soft yellow and purest white, sweetly fragrant, covered in morning dew for all I loved and those I never knew.

These flowers got to all the broken hearts around the world who will forever carry the burden of the loss of a loved one. There is no pain such as the one we feel inside, nor the equal of the emptiness. We all must cherish those close to us whom are alive now, so we will not feel the regretful guilt in their deaths.

My wife and I found this site and are touched by it because we ourselves lost our daughter, she was still born. As hard as it was to stay at the site it was just as hard to leave it. Lessons we all learn from the people we have lost is say what you need to say today. And for those of you who see this and have not lost a loved one, hold your children a little tighter, tell them you love them a few more times a day because it’s these thing we cannot do too much and we all miss them when they’re gone.

Flowers for the living and for those who have "passed" from us to a finer place.

I had a brother once. I had a sister once. I know the pain of loss. I can feel for all of you left behind. That, I think, is the hardest thing to deal with. I wish anyone suffering that loss right now, in the future, or the past to know...remembering the good times and forgetting the bad will bring you through this pain. Find the laugh you liked so much and remember that, find the smile, the sun in the hair, the humor that always made you smile, the way you could always depend on that person. If you can do that than you have not "lost" that person, they are only a short journey away and you will be together again when you make that journey to them. Life is too precious to waste grieving for someone who would not want you to grieve. I apologize if I have affended anyone with my observations, I just wanted to say the things I would have liked to have known when I was in my own deep pain.

Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and the lives of your parents with this American.
