AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, http://youtu.be/HQywr-PBR_o, was release just five months after their lead singer Bon Scott died (“Songfacts”). “Back in Black” was to be a tribute to Bon (“Songfacts”). The lyrics suggest that he’ll never die, because he’ll live on forever through their music (“Songfacts”). Brain Johnson later joined the band after being discovered in a
It wasn’t much of a chat, but the point is, it happened eight years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. That’s probably why I can still hear Mick’s voice like he was standing right next to me. You know they say when someone you love dies that you forget how their voice sounds, but that hasn’t happened yet. Which is why I’m not surprised that I still remember everything about the last conversation I had with my brother before his accident. He said to me,

But, for his perseverance good intentions and values he instilled in my brother and I.
“Being Country” by Bobby Anne Mason is a recollection of childhood memories that are told by a young girl who wants something more out of her life. Throughout her story she mentions how she does not want to stay living the way her family does. She disagrees with the way her mother and grandmother have lived considering she hated depending on life of farming. She repeatedly expressed how much she thought her life at home was plain in comparison to the ways of the town people. Bobby was often immersed by the way she thought the people in town would live; how even the food and writing in the stores were fancy and tastier than the food from home. This essay reminded me of how society infers affairs of people they do not
I attended this funeral with my family and with many other friends and family of Alex’s. The Heckard family
Mr. Hynson was a great father, friend, mentor and spiritual leader that gave his children all the insights in life to overcome and adapt to reach wealth. Mr. Hynson was a great teacher, assistant principal, and principal in the school system for over 40 years and who brought education, skills, and knowledge to children of all cultures. He took care of his family and provided his dedication and time to his loving wife and to his three children to make sure that his family was secure without ever complaining. He served in the U.S. Army as a cook and retired from the military with a purple heart and other awards for his services. He provided college funds for his children to become a success story and success we have become. It was a great tragedy to get a phone call on the job 23 years ago and I continue to remember the last day of his life like it was yesterday. Mr. Cedric R. Hynson continues to be greatly missed by his two surviving sons, my brother and I, Cedric T. Hynson.
Welcome everyone to the funeral, in love and in memory of Simon Birch. I am Joe Wentworth, Simon’s best friend and I wouldn’t change it for the world. He was my hero and showed me what its like to have a true friend, so today I would like to talk about three of the main things I will always remember about my times with Simon, the Christmas play, finding my father, and the accident.
Loss can mean something very different, depending on who you ask to define it and what their history is with it. However difficult the obstacle may be, Tim O’Brien’s words can help alleviate someone’s conscious, because he points out the importance of all those stories lived with that certain person or thing that was lost. Even with my personal losses, I can relate to O’Brien’s views of loss and the importance of all the memories of the lost thing. Loss would not be so impactful if it weren’t for all those sentimental memories and emotions that come with it. It’s necessary to sometimes remember the happy times lived before the loss, to slowly fill up the hole that it created in the heart. It’s true, losing something is rarely anything to be happy about, but if anyone has something that makes saying goodbye hard, they would be considered

Perhaps, one of the greatest joys at Joinhandmade is having Pop in our team. Together we created so many beautiful memories. Pop always patiently stay around and wait for us when we are at work. But when we go out he is the most annoying member, nonetheless, he made those time more enjoyable. He also teaches us to love and loyalty, but then, yesterday, he departed from our team and teaches us one more lesson about loss. It is the most frustrating feeling and makes memories so painful to remember.

Do you have one person that you hold in your heart and never will forget? I do, his name is Calvin(Cal) M. Simons, he was my grandpa. He was and will be my hero forever. It makes me sad having to say this, but he died in April of 2008, 2 months after my 7th birthday. It’s crazy to think that in just a month I will be 14 and it will be me another year without him, without a friend.
Richard played baseball growing up and was currently pitching at the Perkinston campus at the time. He always made sure that I had a smile on my face even if he tortured me with the “stinky sock” which came fresh off of his foot. He was always there when I just simply needed somebody. He was somebody that I knew I could count on no matter what. Richard loved God, family, teammates, and friends. He was a very social person who would do anything to help somebody or just to see somebody smile. He loved to fish and to just simply be outdoors. Our last family vacation was the Christmas before the accident happened and we all went to Disney World. The time at Disney World was very magical because I felt like I was an absolute princess. One afternoon, I was just a little cheerleader who couldn’t wait to get to my neighbor’s house. He asked me to scream him a loud and happy cheer. I did what he asked, kissed him goodbye, and ran off to play with my friends. I didn’t think anything about that being the last time I saw him.
