| Memorial WALK To REMEMBER Children |
TERRY and LISA HOUSTON
On October 2, 2002 our world changed for ever. Our son Michael passed away at the
age of 17 from an accidental overdose. He was given a pill to take by a boy he knew for
cold symptoms he had, went to work, came home and called his girlfriend and went to
sleep but he never woke up. He was given Methodone, took 2 pills and died and that
was all that was in his system.
We take one day at a time with the help of our family and friends and we go and visit
him everyday at the cemetery. Michael carried a verse in his wallet which read: "May the
Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from the other," and we
have this inscribed on his memorial bench.
By the grace of God we are learning how to live new lives now as new people. The
"Memorial Walk to Remember Children" brings other grieving parents, friends and
family together where we can feel safe to cry, laugh and remember our children. "The
love that bonds your family close no matter where you go; Is strengthened by an
Angel's touch that keeps your heart aglow.
God Bless You!

Mother of three. Grandmother of two. I have had a niece (Ronnetta) and a sister
(Evelyn) to die suddenly, and both at a young age. I think it is up to us as family who
loved them to keep their memory alive. As long as we hold them in our hearts, they are
forever with us. I think the annual "Walk to Remember" is a great tool to not only
memorialize our loved ones, but to also connect with others who have lost loved ones,
and share our experiences and stories, and ultimately support and lift each other up as
we gain strength to continue on this journey called life.

On October 16, 2005 my world was devastated by the loss of my son, Clint Hood. He
was 22 years old and was killed in a jeep accident. From that very moment my life was
changed forever and will never be the same.
With the help of family and friends I managed to make it day to day. The real healing
began with the help of the Mother’s Group that was formed just a few months after my
loss. These mothers became my friends and confidants. I will always believe there is
a special bond between mothers who have lost children.
We appreciate your participating in the Walk to Remember, and if you would like to
contact me please feel free to call 336.575.3599.

Ronnetta Monique Mosby was my firstborn, "my heart." The baby girl I'd prayed for was
killed when a school bus hit her car on Friday, November 30, 2001. And earlier that
very same week, my heart had gone out to a mother who had lost her son in a car
accident. Because I knew how I'd prayed for that mother, whom I did not know, I knew
many were praying for me. And those prayers sustained me and my family during our
loss. "Netta" was only 21 years old.
Since this tragic loss, I've chosen life and try to look for the positives in everything. I gain
strength (peace and comfort) in giving and doing for others. I strive to encourage, uplift,
and share random acts of kindness. The Walk to Remember was a vision that has
visualized beyond my wildest imagination. Thank you for your participation! Please let
me know if I can help you in anyway. 336.774.1567.

On May 3, 2007, my first born son, Brenton Hiroshi Stovall, was killed in a car accident
on his way to pick up his youngest brother from school. My life as I knew it changed
forever! Our family’s structure changed; we went from a family of five to a family of four.
My middle son became the “older brother”, my youngest son now had only one older
brother and my husband and I became grieving parents. But through the grace of God,
the support of family and friends, we have settled into our new roles - and started to live
again. We have been blessed to be happy again – yes it is possible! That is what
Brent would want for us, and that is what we will do to honor his life. I thank God
everyday for the time that we had with him.
It is events like the “Memorial Walk to Remember Children” that brings other grieving
parents, friends and relatives together in an emotionally safe environment to cry,
remember, laugh, be sad or whatever emotions are evoked. It is a special time to
create unique bonds through unfortunate circumstances. I hope that this Walk will
bring some peace, healing and comfort to all that attend.
