To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children... to leave the world a better place... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

 -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Many of the graphics I made using XARA 3-D  

 

These  I found on various sites on the Internet

NOTE FROM CAROLYN MAYFIELD, WEB DEVELOPER: 

It has been a great pleasure for me to assist Dottie with this tribute to her special Angel .  I offered my assistance when I met her in an online grief support group alt.support.grief.   There is  no charge for my services as I will not capitalize on the grief of others.  When my son was murdered on September 21, 1998, I was fortunate enough to find someone to do the same for me. Teresa did a beautiful web site tribute for no charge and for that I will be eternally grateful.  I cannot promise that I can assist everyone or make sites as elaborate as this one, but I will do everything in my power.  The free services are for memorial sites only.

When my son was killed, I had no knowledge whatsoever about web page design.  My husband encouraged me when I indicated that I would pay someone.  He's always been supremely supportive of me:  "You can do that, Babe" were his exact words."  Thousands of dollars for equipment and programs and, many hours and sleepless nights later, I am gaining confidence on a daily basis.  For that I thank my son.  I see it as turning a hardship into a positive growth.  Because of Kevin, everyday I learn something new.  Like Bryan Adam sings on this page:  "Everything I do, I do for you."

I have included some of the graphics I developed and downloaded while creating this website.  Many were rejected while I searched for the perfect match.  Most were found while doing Internet searches using the major search engines.  In the future, I will be more conscientious about listing each of those sites which were instrumental in giving me ideas.  All graphics are believed to be public domain.  If they are exclusive property, please inform me so that I can give you credit.  Right click and save file/picture as to download graphic for your own file. For midi/music file; right click/save target as.  I used the same search engines to find lyrics and midi music files. If I have given you more information than you want to know, I'm sorry.  Just the teacher in me, I guess.  I can be reached at carjmay@gte.net.  My son's web site is  http://www.kevinmayfield.com/

The story and words are Dottie's as is the pain which is very raw.   Please join together and give her your support.  It has been a triumph for her to face her daughter's death and as you can see, they shared a very special relationship.  Her children, friends and other family members were all saddened by Jill's death but blessed by having her in their lives.

 Don't' forget to sign the Guestbook and  e-mail Dottie  milkduddottie@webtv.net

Note:  The beautiful photos were provided by Faye and many were graphically enhanced by her as well.

      The Worst Loss, How Families Heal from the Death of a Child, Barbara D. Rosof

You are Listening to:  Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (I Do It For You)
From the Album - So Far So Good

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice


Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
