| John Alexander "Bad Dog" McCormack, died on Thursday, March 10, 2011 at Methodist University Hospital after an 18-month battle with leukemia. Bad dog helped raise money for Children with cancer. He did this while fighting a battle himself. That made him an angel among us. "Laughter is the best medicine." He healed us all with his infectious humor. His humor and spirituality are deeply missed. |

Angels do walk the Earth. I have been blessed with many angels in my life, but I have two very special
angels that I miss very much, I haven't seen either of them since they were about two years old, but I
know in my heart that the angels on high watch over them every day, and until we meet again, may
God hold them in the palm of his hands. My granddaughters, Lynae, age 12, and Nevaeh (Heaven
spelled backwards.) age 4. God bless you, my angels, Grandma loves and misses you, every day.

Wes was a good friend of mine for several years before he died a couple of years ago. He was an
amazingly talented and beautiful person while alive, but I believe he is an angel for me NOW. I have
had an unbelievable amount of good fortune, almost immediately since he has passed. Everything
good that has happened to me runs parallel to what he knows have been my dreams and desires. I
strongly feel his presence and know in my heart and soul that he is making sure I am happy.

| Macy was my granny. Well not by birth. Mom and her met at work and became best friends. At some point Macy became mom to my mom. She adopted us as her own. She lived the book of Ruth. She gave food to poor coworkers when she didn't have it to give. Always believing her needs would be met. She took in people who had lost their home. That's what I call an angel among us. |
| This is my wonderful Daddy ! We were very close all my life. He was funny, fun, and always had time for me and my friends ! He taught us to jitterbug, waltz and play Rook till all hours on Friday nights after he had just come in off the road all week working ! Now he comes and stands by my bed and we talk and laugh just like old times ! |
| My late aunt, Juanita, thought that her life didn't matter to many people. She never had children and Had only a handful of friends. When she died all 200 members of her company went to the service. We donated her organs and she saved 7 lives. Dozens benefited from her gifts. The Gov. Of Wisconsin gave us this medal on her behalf. I want all of you to know that the gift of life is the most precious gift you can bestow. We received a letter from one of her recipients. He promised to take good care of the Kidney that Nita gave him. That impacted my life knowing that my aunt saved this young man's life. She never knew how many people she would affect in a positive way. I know this is what made her an angel among us. |
| These are my parents. Tom and Evelyn Kemp. They are both in heaven now but have left a very important message behind to those they love. I feel my Dad with me mostly when I am driving I can look up and see on car tags DAD sometimes in front to the side and one passing all in a matter of a minute. |
| R.I.P. Coach Larry Finch. Larry was more than a coach. He was an icon in Memphis. He turned a football town, into a basketball town. He was a mentor to young men. He showed them that YOU CAN no matter what. YOU CAN succeed. Young boys and men looked to him as a teacher and friend. That's what made him an angel who walked among us. |
| But my angel nonetheless because he passes among us still. Days after his passing - he hung on to life until January of 2000, just to see the new millennium - he appeared to my oldest daughter in the image you see here: the gorgeous Marine in the middle. But he was 84 when he passed, and Melissa had never seen this picture. She came to me in the kitchen and said, "Grandpa's in the garage. But he's a 20-year-old Marine." Dad never grew up, and he passed his unending youthful joy and energy to me. He has appeared to us several times since. In this life he was charming, the best dressed among men with impeccable fashion sense - he shopped for me when I was a girl - a talented musician and vocalist by ear, an unlikely Marine and a whimsical but always successful salesman. A flawless sniper who hated guns. A man who might have lived a very different identity today, but instead judged no one then, or now. I'm thankful every day that he still walks with me. |
| David Michael Benson, 43, Manager of Do Sushi, The Beauty Shop Restaurant and Mollie Fontaine Lounge, passed away April 7, 2011 at The Med after a brief illness.

David was a member of Ellendale Baptist Church. David was a beautiful human being and will be greatly missed by his entire family and anyone who was lucky enough to know him. |
| "David was an angel in that he lit up a room with such a special aura he always shined brighter than anyone else around. He brought joy and laughter to everyone and every situation. David's star will forever shine the brightest. He was deeply loved and will forever be missed." CaRon C. |
| I have attached a photo of my daughter, Kari Anne West, 11-13-77 to 9-17-93. She died in an auto accident on her way to school. She was truly an angel among us who touched the lives of many young people in a positive way. She lived only 15 short years, but she lived those years to the fullest. Thank you for your page giving tribute to those angels who are no longer on earth, but will live forever in our hearts. |

My dad was an angel because he
was the only one to make me
happy. When I was 6, he
used to give me ladybird
chocolate and ask what my name
was. I replied "Marie Kefer."
when he died lots of ladybirds
kept appearing in my garden he
was a good man and well loved.
Smart at a young age. He knew to
draw like an adult and talk
strange languages to my
grandmother or walk the whole
city asleep at night was
no man like him in city moura
Portugal. But one day his
greatness fell, he
started with mental health
probably since he divorced.
Spent a lonely life until he
died. Angels know so did he. I
am proud of my dad, to me he
has always been
great even the days he wasn't
himself and miserable. That's
forgiven him as it wasn't his
fault. That's to be remembered

| Betty - This is my Mom, she passed away in Sept of 1998. She was a kind and gentle person, with a great sense of humor and a warm heart! She helped and fed many people! She was a beautiful woman! |
| Beverly - This is my sister, she passed away in July of 2009. She was a caring and lovely person! She had a contagious smile and the best personality! She battled cancer and diabetes during her time with us. In the late 90's she lost her legs due to diabetes but stayed determined and kept going...she was a fighter! |
| Tripod - He was our good boy, he passed away in June of 2010. He was the best friend a person could have! He had only 3 legs, but you could never tell!! He was a loyal, feisty, loving baby!! These are my angels, I know they watch over my family and I. I miss them everyday but I know they are much happier where they are now! They will forever be missed and never forgotten! In my heart always and forever my angels! Peace, Renea Hutchison |

My name is Carla Bryant, and I would like
to share "My Angel" with you. Her name
is Jessica Hope Moffitt, my
Granddaughter. Jessica was born Jan. 20,
2003, and she passed away March 29,
2010. She was only 7 y/o. She had
Myotubular Myopathy, which is a form of
Muscular Dystrophy.
Jessica was my 1st Grandchild, so you can
only imagine how excited I was. The day
she was born I was in the delivery room
with her Mother and Dad. Dara Kelly, and
Hughey Moffitt. I am an RN, so I knew
what was going on, and how things were
supposed to be. When Jessica was born,
she never did cry when stimulated. That
was enough to tell me something was
wrong. I saw the Dr. leave my daughter,
and go to the baby...I was scared. It didn't
take long for them to get her intubated, and
on a vent. She was eventually transferred
from a Mississippi hospital to LeBonheur in
Memphis. They saved her life! She had a
trach, and PEG tube placed, and they
finally after about 2 or 3 months, got her
off the vent. She was able to come home.
We were told by numerous physicians that
her life expectancy would be about 4
years. Heartbreaking to hear that. She
outlived that number by 3 years. Jessica
was never able to speak, or walk, but she
could communicate through sign language.
She truly had an impact on a lot of people.
Everyone who met her, loved her! She
was very independent, and tried to play
with the other children.
I often would be sad at the thought of
what she was thinking, like: "I wonder
why I can't talk, walk, and run like they all
do." She was very intelligent despite her
being special needs, so I know she
wondered. She went through more in her
7 years, than most will in a lifetime. I can't
tell you how much time we were in
LeBonheur with her. We actually felt like
permanent fixtures there, and people knew
us by name.
When she passed away, I felt like I died
with her. She is most certainly an Angel.
A very strong, courageous little girl. The
only thing that keeps any of us going, is
knowing we will see her again someday.
My daughter grieves for her everyday of
her life.

My brother was truly an angel
here on earth. He never had a
bad word to say about anybody
and all who knew him, loved
him. By the age of 17 he had
bought my parents a new living
room suit, dining room suit,
electric range, carpeted their
house and bought his own car,
which he gave to me when he
went into the Navy. He was
always a DJ. All he ever wanted
to be and got to be a famous one
in Charleston, SC before the Lord
called him home. He died in an
automobile accident, killed
instantly. A wonderful brother
who would give you the shirt off
his back. This is my angel who
sadly walked among us for such a
short time, 23 years....

| Mark killed himself on November 6, 2005. It was the most horrible day of my life, beginning with the police coming to my door early that morning, and the rest of the day was a blur and a nightmare. He had gotten divorced, lost his job because he had to relocate, and maybe there was too much loss for him to bear. But still I can not fathom it. No one had any idea he would do something like this. Just didn't. All I know is he should be here. It should never had happened. And my heart breaks to this day.. In memory of Mark. For the times you felt alive. Riposa in pace, fratello. Remember when you were young, and shone like the sun? Shine on you crazy diamond! |
| May your spirit soar in freedom From the fears that gripped so tight. May you find the peace you searched for As you wandered, lost, in the night. May your tortured mind be clear and calm May you have no need for strength now. You will never have to worry about another storm. May the music of the angels Be the sweet sounds that you hear. As you’re rocked in Heaven’s cradle May you never shed another tear. I love you, I miss you My little brother…my true friend. May my love for you reach you Until we meet again. |
Frank (Pop) Roberts is my
angel. Cancer stole him from
me in August 2011. He was
only 56 years old. My
husband was my rock and my
inspiration. He left me with a
huge hole in my heart and no
direction. It wasn't supposed
to happen like this.
Frank was a philosopher, a
cosmos enthusiast and a lover
of music. I know he's with me
when one of his favorite songs
comes on the radio. It's as
though he were speaking
directly to me. I miss him so.
Counting the days till I see
you again baby. I'll meet you
there.

On a cold, rainy Memphis
afternoon on Madison, I
watched in awe and
admiration
as Keith Ferre took his
shoes off and handed
them to a homeless man
who was
walking the street in
raggedy socks. This was
the kind of man he was
and few
people knew this side of
him. Keith was my life
partner of 30 years. He
died
on the operating table on
Dec. 2, 2011. I love and
miss him very much.

My dad was 40 when he and my mom
adopted me at 5 months old. He and
mom gave me the best life one could
ever have. My dad was a very
intelligent, brilliant man, he worked for
25 years as a nuclear engineer at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory. He pretty
much put himself through college, had
some funding for college but not a lot,
attending not only Memphis State but
Mississippi State, and Duke. My
father took many business related trips
for Oak Ridge and took us along on a
extended trip making a family vacation
out of it also. Was a lot of fun. Since
my brother was older and away at
college, I was the one who would help
my dad when he had to work on the
car, and go places with him that
normally the son would go, and
actually enjoyed it. My dad was born
May 5th, 1920 here in Memphis. He
served in the Army Air Corp for 4
years from 1942 to 1946. He then
returned to Memphis and joined his
father working in his automotive shop.
He wed my mom on October 16th,
1948. I lost my wonderful dad April
1st, 2011, at 90 years old, after a 6
year battle with Alzheimer's which
finally claimed him. It has been a
difficult year for myself and my mom
after his death. One I haven't gotten
over yet. You never know how much
you miss someone until they are
permanently gone from your life. Love
you dad, even though you are not with
us anymore.

| "Now and forever to my better half. Knowing you was a blessing but loving you was an honor and the fulfillment of a lifetime worth of dreams. What made him an angel is that he watched over and took care of those who were less fortunate than he was and made everyone around him feel so special and loved. He gave of himself freely never ever asking for anything in return. He was a very special man and I was so blessed and honored to be his wife and still feel that way even to this day. He was a friend to all and he never turned away those who needed him no matter what. Now that is someone that we should all model ourselves after." |
