VICTORIAN MEMORIAL GARDEN

                                    RONNIE HUDSON

Ronnie was the type of man who could find some humor in most any situtation.  He was well liked as both a man and a dog handler.  He was the ideal shopping companion too.

Most of all, he was a wonderful husband and father.  He loved to travel and loved Las Vegas.  On each of our 21st birthdays he took us to Las Vegas as our special gift.  He was the joy as well as the rock of our family.

                                      ELOISE HUDSON

Eloise was one of those very rare and special mothers.  She loved us with total unconditional love.  She was gentle, wise, and understanding.  I could count on her always being there for advice, friendship, and support.

She loved to travel with Dad doing the dog shows and on his trips to Las Vegas.  She was a joyful companion and friend.

                              ALLISON HUDSON (CRAMER)

Allison was my elder sister.  We had the usual scraps when we were young but always, we knew, that there was an unbreakable bond of love between us.

When my children were born, Allison was right there in the delivery room with my husband and I.  She was right there for me and with me when our mother was diagnosed with Cancer.  She took over as second mom at that time and pulled us through it.  She was not only my best friend, but my sister.

This wonderful sister wasn't blessed with children of her own but she was the most wonderful aunt and second mother to mine.  She was a very special lady.

                                    MICHAEL HENRY

Michael or Quay as he was known on mIRC was a fun loving, loyal, and wonderfully loving friend.  He had the ability to make each person feel special that  he befriended.  Although he was an 80's rock singer, he never had a "star's ego", he was just Michael.

Michael was in the terminal stages of Cancer when I met him over a year ago.  He and I talked of many things and he was able to relay his fears and pain and told me how much this helped him to not have to be "up" all the time and listen to other people's problems, although he cared deeply about all of his friends and family.  His phone calls were fun and sad and magical all at the same time as were his talks on mIRC.

You called yourself "your little man" but M, you were never little, you couldn't be with a heart and soul as big as you had.   I am so thankful that I got to know you as people like you are very rare.

                                        Cornelia Nepper

Cornelia was a wonderful and loving lady who welcomed me into her family with open arms when I married her eldest grandson, Mike.  She was a woman who loved family above all else.  

She loved flowers and the color pink.  Grandma also loved the Denver Broncos football team!   We like to believe she was watching and cheering on the Broncos to victory in this year's Superbowl.

Grandma will always be missed but we know she went on ahead to stand at God's side to welcome baby Megan into heaven as she welcomes Megan into the Children's Memorial Garden here.

                           EDWARD S. LESCINSKAS

Edward was a medit during World War II.  He belonged to several different verterans organizations, some of which were:  VFW,  American Legion, AMVets, Sad Sacks, and was a member of the Knights of Columbus.  Proudly he set up up the AMVet Post 13 in Northern Michigan.  He was a volunteer fireman for Lyon Township and served as an EMT.  He served in the Catholic church as a lay minister.  Dad was a very busy and well liked person.

He and my mother were married for 52 years before God called him home.  He is survived by their 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

                                               Love and miss you Dad,

                        LILLIAN P. ELLIS LESCINSKAS

Lillian was a wonderful woman, married 52 years and raised two daughters and was very active in outside activities.  She belonged to and was President of the AMVets Auxilliary post 21, and of the VFW Auxilliary.  She was a great fundraiser and raised funds through yard sales for the building of the AMVets post 13.

Mother died  about 2 weeks prior to what would have been her and Dad's 55 Wedding Anniversary.  We like to believe that God called her home so that she and Dad could dance together once more on their very special day.

She is survived by 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren and 5 great-granchildren.

                                         You are loved and missed Mother,
                                                          June
