The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them. Lois McMaster BujoldThis memorial website was created to remember my husband and true love, Justin John Manzonie who was born in Nevada Las Vegas on June 21, 1980 and passed away on May 3, 2006 at the age of 25. He was the best husband in the world, my best friend, a wonderful father, a loving son, and a true friend. When his life was taken, a piece of my soul was taken with him. I will never be the same, but must live on and in his memory, raise our children the way he would have wanted them raised.
If you should go before me, dear, walk slowly down the ways of death, well worn and wide.
For I would want to overtake you quickly, and seek the journey's ending by your side.
I would be so forlorn not to descry you, down some shining high road when I came.
Walk slowly, dear, and often look behind you, and pause to hear if someone calls your name.
-Adelaide Love
*Emptiness*
My heart reaches for you
But you are not there
All I feel is emptiness
Where there used to be love
When we were together
I didn’t appreciate you
Now you are gone
And my heart is broken
I reach for so many things
To try and fill the space
But nothing fills it up
The emptiness is all I have
There will never be another
To fill this emptiness
I had you and I lost you
You were taken so early
Long before your time
And I am left here alone
With nothing but emptiness.
-Miranda Manzonie
