| In loving Memory of: |
| I will always remember you! My dad was born May 3,1957. The son of John and Beverly Ramsey. My father and mother were high school sweethearts. Mom was 15 and dad was 22 when they got married in June of 1979. They later had me on October 12, 1979 Dad's first and only daughter. My parents later divorced and I went to live with mom. I became closer to dad the older I got. I would visit with him on weekends. Dad was so funny he loved playing nintendo and had about 100 games. Dad's greatest passion of all was trains. He collected them he had tons of trains and also loved going to train shows He would attend every one he could!. He had a special room just to display his trains! He also loved driving around in his old car. I will never forget his smile or laugh! But Dad had a terrible disease he had scoliosis and also seizures and epilesy but his great battle of all was depression. He asked for help. No body believed he needed help. I wish I could of got him help I still feel guilty. On April 9, 1994 Dad got upset in the middle of night when I was there he started to load his gun and I took off to get help I ran across town to my aunt his sisters house. She said "Go to bed he won't do it". Well dad did not take his life that night. So I went home with my mom. Not knowing that was the last time I would see Dad alive again. On Thursday the 14 of April I went to school like every other day, but I knew something was wrong with Dad. I kept telling my best friend I just knew what had happened. He fought this terrible disease as long as he could and he took his own life by gunfire on April 14, 1994. His own father found him in his home. On April 16, 1994 Daddy was laid to rest. I put a single red rose with him in his beautiful brown casket. This was the hardest day of my life and it still seems like yesterday. I will forever love and miss you!!!! If you are depressed or know someone who is don't wait to get help. Suicide is a permanent soultion to a temporary problem. PLEASE get help! |

| "One million prayers won't bring you back, I know because I've tried. Neither will one million tears, I know because I've cried." Johnnie D. Ramsey May 3, 1957 to April 14, 1994 Forever loved, Sadly missed |
| I heard the angels say I thought I saw your face today, In the sparkle of the morning sun, And then I heard the Angel say,"His work on earth is done." I thought I heard your voice today then laugh your hearty laugh And then I heard the Angel say "There's peace, dear one at last." I thought I felt your touch today in the breeze that rustled by. And then I heard the Angel say, "The spirit never dies." I thought I saw my broken heart in the crescent of the moon And then I heard the Angel say, "The Lord is coming soon." I thought that I would miss you so and never find my way. And then I heard the Angel say, "He is with you everyday." I thought that you had left me for the stars so far above. And then I heard the Angel say "He has left you with his love. " "The sun, the wind, the moon, and the stars, will forever be around, reminding me of the love we shared and the peace he finally found." |
