Seek Out Life's Simple Pleasures

This memorial website was created to remember my dearest

Joe King

who was born in  Charleston, West Virginia on

July 3, 1963 and passed away on November 18, 2005.

You will live forever in our memories and hearts.

 

  

 

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

 

 

My Love (Sean Redenbaugh) When all the flowers have faded and fallen fast away, you'll find my Love unchanging and constant each new day. When all the leaves have fallen down and left the trees so bare, my Love will still be strong and just for you to share. When snow and cold have filled the air and wintertime is here, my Love will always keep you warm and fill your heart with cheer.

 

 

 

Your Hand

When my world falls down around me,
And the ground is sinking sand;
When peace can't be found on this earth,
I reach out for your hand.

Then when your hand wraps 'round my own,
A strength pours from your soul;
It brings me to a quiet calm,
Till once again I'm whole.

A peace beyond all reason,
A rest there in your touch;
Something in your quiet words,
My heart yearns for so much.

If I but rest my worries,
Upon your shoulder there;
The strength that pours forth from your soul,
Will wash away each care.

Like a cool, sweet taste of water,
For a tired and thirsty man;
My heart finds peace, my soul is calm,
When I reach out for your hand.

 

 

 

 

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me

 

 

 

 

Not Enough Time

(Mary Pickering)

There are not enough hours in a day
To see what I'd like to see
There are not enough days in a week
To enjoy the things that are free
There are not enough weeks in a year
This wonderful world to view
There are not enough years in a lifetime
To spend in loving you.

 

 

 

 

If, out of time,
I could lift one moment
and keep it shining,
Always new;
of all the days
that I have lived,
I'd pick the moment
I first met you.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes I let this old world have its way with me
And there is no escape as far as I can see
Captured by the wind I break so helplessly
I know if not for you there'd be no hope for me

You are the calm at the center of my storm
When the cold winds blow, you're the fire that keeps me warm.
When this old world gets me down, I will rest inside your arms
You are the calm at the center of my storm

If I could only learn to always turn to you
Instead of thinking I always know what to do
Why does it take the darkness for my eyes to see
There's never been a time when you weren't there for me

 

 

 

 

I love you, it's often said not
from the heart, but from the head.
A true felt love cannot be heard,
it does not live in spoken word.
A true felt love cannot be bought,
a lesson learned but seldom taught.
A true felt love is in a look,
it can't be taught from written book.
A true felt love comes from the heart,
it's always there in all or part.
A true felt love is in a touch,
a simple hug can mean so much.
A true felt love can withstand time,
A true felt love is yours and mine.

 

 

 

A Part of You A part of you belongs to me, I've shared with no one else. It's been a secret blessing, I have kept unto myself. It holds me safe within my dreams While I'm asleep at night, And wakes me with a comfort In the early morning light. I keep a part of you with me You hold a special place, You fill my heart with laughter, And keep a smile on my face.

The gifts that you have given Have helped me to be strong, A guiding hand, a warm soft touch, The music to my song. Your sweet love surrounds me And each time I hear your name I feel a thrill within my heart That nothing can explain. You share part of my spirit, love A piece of me forever, No matter what tomorrow brings For us, there is no never. Everywhere I go in life Every place I choose to be... I know that I will always keep A part of you with me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Little Things

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

 

 

His life a beautiful memory,
His absence a silent grief,
Never to be forgotten.

 

 

 

 We weren't with you when you died,
And when we learned oh how we cried,
The tears within our hearts still flow,
Because we loved and lost you so.

 

I've got to go on living,
I know that this is true,
But it's just an mere existence,
It's nothing without you.
You were everything in life to me,
My husband  and my best friend,
But although you had to leave me,
Our love will never end.
But one day we will meet again,
Don't worry dear I'll wait,
Just promise me you'll be there,
Waiting at the gate.

 

 

It seems like only yesterday,
Angels came and took you away,
In fact it's been over four long years,
Memories of you still bring tears,
You are on our minds and in our hearts,
Even though we had to part.

You always had a smile to share,
Time to give,
And time to care.
A loving nature,
A heart of gold,
You were the best this world could hold.

 

 

 

We would walk a million miles,
For one of your smiles.

 

 

 

The gates of memory never close,
How we miss you no one knows.
Wishing today as we have wished before,
God could have spared you a few years more.

 

 

 

They say that time will heal the wound and teach us to forget,
But time so far has only shown how much we miss you,
Yet the silent grief that's in our hearts,
No human eye can trace,
Many a broken heart is hid beneath a smiling face.

 

 

Memories we keep one by one,
Things you said,
Things you have done,
They bring a smile,
Often a tear,
Always a wish that you were here.

 

 

 

 

No one sees the broken heart
that hides behind my smile,
No one knows the emptiness
that's with me all the while.
We talk about you often,
Of things you'd do or say,
We have such loving memories,
But want you back to stay.

 

 

 

The time has gone so quick Joe,
Since you passed away,
You are always in our thoughts,
Each and every day.
Still we find it hard Joe
To accept you're no longer here,
What we'll always have though,
Are memories of you so dear.

We wander to your graveside,
And place each flower with care,
For the Husband and Father we love so dearly,
Is peacefully sleeping there.
If memories keep us together,
Then we are never far apart,
From early morn to silent night,
You're always in our hearts.

A face of an Angel I always see,
Joe in my dreams you will always be.
Now in heaven a rose of gold,
Only Angels can touch so I'm told.
But in my heart you will always stay,
No one can take that memory away,
Of you my handsome husband on this special day

I've tried so hard to find the words,
To say how much I miss you,
The more I try,
The more I cry,
Oh Joe how much I miss you

 

 

 

I often sit and think of you,
Many times I've longed and cried for you,
To your grave I wander ,
And place each flower with care,
It breaks my heart to turn away
and leave you lying there.

Time helps heal life's sorrow,
A smile hides many a tear,
But memories keep you near to us,
Despite the passing years.

God took you home,
We had to part,
He eased your pain,
But broke our hearts.

 

 

 

 

You left me without a goodbye,
But memories of you will never die,
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in my heart you are always there.
Never more than a thought away,
Quietly remembered every day.

He  would not wish for tears or fuss,
But just to be remembered by all of us,
Gone are the days that used to be,
No one misses you more than me!!

 

Beautiful memories woven in gold,
This is the picture we tenderly hold,
Deep to our hearts your memory is kept,
To love and to cherish and never forget.

Fold your arms around him Lord,
Kiss his smiling face,
For he was someone special that no-one can replace.
You left so suddenly Joe ,
All I could do was cry,
But the saddest part of all,
Was that I didn't say goodbye.
To me you were someone special,
Someone kind and true,
You will never be forgotten,
For I thought the world of you.

I Love You Joe Forever

 

Words are few,
Thoughts are deep,
Memories of you I'll always keep

 

 

 

No one heard the footsteps of the angels drawing near,
Who took from earth to heaven,
My Joe I loved so dear.
He has not really left me,
Nor has he travelled far,
Just entered Gods beautiful garden,
And left the door ajar.

A heart as big as the ocean,
A smile as bright as the sun,
You were one in a million,
As a husband you were second to none.
Now the ocean is a trickle,
The sun gone into stay,
It's been like that for a while now,
Since that day you passed away.
 

 

 

 

Parting comes and hearts are broken,
Loved ones go with words unspoken.
I miss you more than anyone knows,
As time goes by this emptiness grows.
The tears I shed are wiped away,
But the ache in my heart is there to stay

 

 

 

 

Beautiful memories woven in gold,
These are the treasures I tenderly hold,
Deep in my heart your memory is kept,
To love and to cherish and never forget.

 

 

 

 

 

We talk about you often,
Of things you'd say or do,
We have such lovely memories,
But we wish we still had you

 

Sad are the hearts that loved you,
Silently the tears still fall,
Living our lives without you,
Is the hardest thing of all.

 

Your name is often mentioned,
My thoughts are with you still.
You haven't been forgotten,
What's more you never will.
A daily thought,
A silent tear,
A constant wish that you were here.

 

 

 

Time passes,
Memories stay,
Loved and remembered every day.

I seldom ask for miracles,
Just one today would do,
I'd open wide the door,
And see my Joe walk through.
I'd put my arms around you,
And kiss your smiling face,
For you were someone special man,
No one could take your place.

 

I miss your smile,
Your lovely ways,
With you I spent my happiest days,
I miss you when I need a friend,
On you I always could depend.

 

Certain things remind us of you,
Every single day,
So with all those happy memories,
You're never far away.

 

 

 

I miss your smile,
Your lovely ways,
With you I spent my happiest days,
I miss you when I need a friend,
On you I always could depend.

No matter how life changes,
No matter what we do,
A special place within our hearts
Will always be for you.

There is a path of precious memories,
From here to heaven above,
It keeps me very close to you,
It is called the path of love.

Softly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently we gather and treasure them all.
Unseen, unheard, you are always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear

You were someone special Joe,
What more is there to say.
We only wish will our hearts,
That you were here today.

In the quiet of the night when I feel so alone,
Please forgive my silent tear,
If you were here to share my life,
The pain would disappear.
So precious are our memories,
All the love and happiness I recall,
I love you still,
I always will,
But I miss you most of all.
I was so proud to be your wife,
Your love made me what I am,
And for the rest of my life,
I shall always be your ever loving wife,,
Until we meet again my love.

 

 

Swift and sudden was God's call,
When he took you I lost my all.
We were so happy you and I,
Then you were gone without a last goodbye.
I miss you in a million ways,
With you I spent my happiest days.
What would I give if I could see you smile,
To sit and talk with you for a while.
But only loneliness fills my days,
But love and happiness once we shared,
Is mine to cherish for always.
I laugh, I smile, I play my part,
But behind it all is a broken heart.
Home is lonely without you,
Life will never be the same,
So goodnight, God Bless in the same old way,
I miss you more every day.

We never said goodbye,
Perhaps it's just as well,
For I never could say goodbye,
To one I loved so well.
In silence I remember,
I make no outward show,
But what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

 

 

No special day is needed,
For us to think of you,
For you are someone special,
And we thought the world of you.
Deep in our hearts,
You are always there,
Loved and remembered in every prayer

 

 

In Heaven dear Joe,
I'll find you,
When God's great work is done.
I shall stand once more beside you,
When he calls for me to come.

 

 

Your end was very sudden,
It made us grieve and cry,
The saddest part of all Joe,
Was we never said goodbye.

 

Of all the gifts I ever had,
However great or small,
To have had you as my husband,
Was the greatest gift of all.

May the winds of love blow softly,
And whisper for you to hear,
We love you Joe so very much,
And wish that you were here.

 

Often a lonely heartache,
Sometimes a silent tear,
But forever a wonderful memory,
Of one we loved so dear.

 

If all the world were mine to give,
I'd give it, yes, and more,
Just to see again the face I love,
Come smiling through the door.
