  • I wasn't ready to lose you Mom. I didn't want you to go. It's held with me all this time. I think of you every day. I talk to you every day. I sing all the songs that we all sang together as a family to this day. I draw pictures of different things. Pictures from dreams or memories and things I see. I'm not the artist like you. But I try. Geoffrey has inherited your artistic hand. He draws beautiful pictures Mom. He likes listening to gospel music and the old music that we all would sing to. He sings along with all the songs and knows all the words. We talk about you and Dad. We remember all the love and laughter and song this family had. I miss you so much that now and then I break down and cry. I cry so hard that I feel I can't breath. Geoffrey has been breaking down too. I hear him. I would go to him and sit down by his side and put my hand on top of his and tell him that your here with us. That you can hear us talking to you and singing with you. Thats its okay to miss you. Our hearts hurt Mom. Some times its really hard. Geoffrey is so close to you and Dad. You and Dad are in his heart and soul. His heart is hurting to this day. He's were I am. Wasn't ready to say good-bye. Still not ready. We're never going to let you go. We love and miss you Mom. Hopefully when its our time, we both will see you in Heaven. Come our time. We Love You Mom. Good Night For Now, Love Always and A Day Heather and Geoffrey. - Posted by: Heather Hogan (Daughter) on: Aug 13, 2017

  • Becky was my closest friend when we met in grade 2 at Laura Secord school,When we were in grade 2. I was always at Becky house and the minute I walked in the first thing her dad would ask "are you hungry"? I found refuge at 183 Ruby through out most of my early chided till Becky Was transfered to Kelvin High. Which had a profound effect on me. There was always singing around the dinner table and the love between Donna and Chappie was always present. I moved to Vancouver when I was 18 and only saw Becky and her wonderful family one time in all those years. How do you thank some one who is no longer here for the safety and the sense of family that was always shown to me when ever I ran to Becky to escape the violence at home. I would never have mad it through without Becky and Diane Brown Mr.Stewart and Miss Hale. God bless you Donna and Chappie Hogan for always inviting me into your home where I sang and laughed and played with the girls and flotsam the dog. Love and peace to all of the Hogan family.
