Dalton Wallace    December 2, 1997 -- June 12, 2008
    Son of Stephanie and Randy Wallace
We walk by Faith, not by sight. God is our refuge & strength, an ever present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
    Dalton Lil marine 2005 / MDA camp 2007

Aaron David Martin November 24, 1981 -- February 22, 2008
Son of Pauline and Milton Martin
Diagnosed in 1990 with Friedrich's Ataxia, Aaron spent the next 18 years fighting beyond the boundaries of his disease. He adapted to make the best of every situation through all stages
of his condition. Aaron received a standing ovation as he graduated from Caribou High School in 2001. He focused his interest in Computer Sciences and kept his intellect sharp by playing chess and listening to books on tape, but the majority of his time, and perhaps his strongest asset, was spent spreading laughter with his contagious sense of humor. May we all learn to embrace life with our hearts as he did.

Elizabeth Rae "Betsy" Neyland --December 17, 1981 - January 29, 2007
Daughter to David and Ruth Neyland, sister of Emily Sarah.
Betsy was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia when she was 10 years old. A few months after she was diagnosed she told us to quit talking about “my disease” and we realized that we needed to get on with the business of living and ignore the disease. Betsy did not want anyone to feel sorry for her. It made her mad when people tried to tell her good-bye. She knew she was going to heaven and she did. She is now free from her wheelchair and pain. We will miss her terribly but know that we will see her soon in heaven.

Joey Smith -- January 2, 1985 - June 6, 2006
Son of Bill and Debbie Smith, brother of Billy, Casey, and Molly
Joey was a 2003 graduate of Randolph Southern High School, where he excelled as an honor student. He was a friend to all who faced adversity with his infectious smile that inspired those whose lives he touched. Joey had attended I.U. East. He was an avid sports fan and was fortunate enough to have attended the Super Bowl and enjoyed listening to music.

Cesar Alexandre "Alex" Mijares -- March 5, 1980 - January 10, 2006
"A valiant prince once lived here. You ran the race, you stayed the course, you finished well. You are loved and missed by all who knew and loved you. Can hardly wait to see you again." -- Son of Cesar and Margie Mijares

Anthony "Tony" Turner -- June 29, 1979 - October 26, 2005
    Son of Peter and Susan Turner, Sister Deanna, and brother Eric.
We love him so much and he will always remain in our hearts, always in our thoughts. Tony loved sports. He was a big White Sox fan and went to many of their games. He passed away on the same day they won the World Series.

Paul Kenneth Flippo -- October 7, 1977 -- August 2, 2005

Mikayla Rae Spangler -- April 12, 1979-August 25, 2005
     Daughter of Kathy Spangler
Mikayla had a great sense of humor, lots of spunk and a terrific "can do" attitude. Every challenge was faced with a positive attitude which really touched many lives. Patience was something always with her as she taught others. Her spirit endures! Note picture: Kathy's rosebush has always had all pink roses, this year '06 there is one red rose, we think for Mikayla.

Daughter of Linda and Frank Nunnery
Although dealing with the daily physical and emotional challenges of this devastating and progressive disease, Friedreich's Ataxia, Robyn lived her life to the fullest possible. She loved people and loved to laugh. She had come a long way overcoming many obstacles, had just received her Associates Degree and all ready to work on her Bachelor's. After we lost her, I found a website she had recently saved in her "Favorites" on her computer. It was as though she left a comforting message for us. We will always miss her!

Kevin Crowley - July 28, 1974 -- August 11, 1999
Son of Jan and Mike Crowley

Kevin Maher - February 3, 1976 -- November 30, 1996
Son of Connie Maher
Kevin loved life. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. Kevin also loved country music and bingo. Every Friday, he played bingo with his grandmother. Kevin had a very dry sense of humor and he thrived on a good argument. He would never admit he was wrong, even when he knew it, just so he could argue some more. Every morning when I left for work I would say, "I love you, Kevin". His response never varied - it was always "I love me too!" followed by a big laugh. Kevin never wanted to give up and he fought for his independence. He was an excellent student, carrying a B+ average in college correspondence classes. Kevin was an inspiration to so many people and he touched many lives in the short time he was with us.
