"We do not ‘get over’ a death. We learn to carry the grief and integrate the loss in our lives. In our hearts, we carry those who have died. We grieve and we love. We remember." ― My Son! Even if you are no longer with me, as long as I carry you in my heart, a part of you will remain here. We hold you tight in our hearts
And there you will stay forever to
guide us through life
until we meet again.

Dear Freshie,

I finally remembered your birthday on the 3rd not the 5th :), our running joke.
It seems like yesterday not 8 years that you are gone.

So many things to share with you. Every time I make lasagna I think of you and what would have been. If you only knew what a loss it was for everyone to lose you.

You will never be forgotten, BUT you will always be Loved !!

Your Forever Stepmom Iscia.

November 3, 2022

Literally the kindest person there was! Can't believe it's been 8 years. Happy bday King. U are dearly missed.

May 24, 2022

In memory of Damian 'Freshie' Hanchard

I can't believe it's 8 years Fresh that you left us. I have so many fond memories of you, and what a kind soul you were. Many things remind me of you through the years, especially when I make lasagna, something you loved. So many dancehall songs you used to play when you were getting ready to DJ. Your laugh, your kindness and your sense of humor.

You were a great step-son and will always be remembered by me and the boys. Always Loved - Forever Missed - Always Remembered.

R.I.P Freshie - Love you Iscia XXXOOO

May 24, 2022

I often sit and think about
the years that have passed by
and the happiness and joy
That was shared between you, me and your siblings
I think of all the laughter and the crazy things that we have been through
and all the fun times we had.
“While I know nothing can alleviate your loss, I do want you to know we are remembering Fresh on this day. He was a wonderful and loving soul who we were blessed to have known.”
For although it brings me comfort
To walk down memory lane
It reminds me of how we use to be as mom and son , without you Damion
Life has never been the same, i miss you every day i wake up

Always remembered, we miss you so much
Love Mom

Dear son, today is your 38th birthday it’s been 7 whole years since you left us. Although you are not here to celebrate it with us, we are all thinking about you and missing you. I wish you were here, we all know how you love your birthday month, nobody I know celebrate their birthday for the whole month like you . Your love and happiness spread joy to everyone who knew you. You are truly missed by everyone you ever met. I miss our conversation about your brothers, whenever I hear something about them I would call you to speak to them, now I have no one , I hope you can hear me talking to you in my car on my way to work sometimes , I miss you so much I can’t even explain it.
I want you to know that we still think about you every day. I miss you every second of the day. It feels like there is a hole in my heart where you used to be. I miss your smile, your laughter and your sense of joy. Wherever you are son, have an amazing birthday. My first love ❤️

Happy 39th Birthday Freshie!

It's so hard to believe it's been 8 years. I always think about you and what could have been. I miss your friendship, your laugh and your kindness. You taught me never to take my family or friends for granted. I still wish I would have made you the lasagna you so loved, one more time.

Rest easy Fresh, you'll always be in my heart.

Happy seventh anniversary up in heaven son
You’re in a better place, I’ve heard it a thousand times. And at least a thousand times I’ve rejoiced for you. But the reason why I’m broken, the reason why I cry, is how long I must wait to be with you.”

May 24, 2021

One of the most tragic and traumatic losses life can deal out to a person is the death of a son. The death of a son means the loss of more than just a precious life. It represents the loss of future experiences and future hopes.
No parent is prepared for the loss of a child, and when it happens, their world is changed forever. The grief, guilt, and anguish felt are acute and lasting. Parents can find comfort in knowing that their grief and mourning are normal and that many other parents have lived through similar tragedies.
Although we seem so far apart – Son, you’re always in our heart. You filled our lives with pleasure and joy – You were to us our precious son, father, brother uncle and friend to many . A little while shall pass and then – We will see each other, once again. Loved, remembered and held so dear – In hearts and minds Son, you’re always near.
To lose a you who meant so much is difficult to bear – It seems so unbelievable so cruel and so unfair.
Not one day gone by that i don't wish that you were here, we could talk about your brothers, and i could ask you to speak to them, because they look up to you, now i have no one to talk too about them.... i miss you so much,
We Love you and miss you forever in our hearts.

November 4, 2020

Happy Birthday, son! We may have given you lots of birthday presents over the years, but they don’t compare to the joy you’ve given us just by being you.
"We do not ‘get over’ a death. We learn to carry the grief and integrate the loss in our lives. In our hearts, we carry those who have died. We grieve and we love. We remember." ―love you always my son

Happy Birthday Freshie!

I always called you on Nov 5th and every time you would remind me that it's on the 3rd. The next year, I would call you on the 5th again. So many sweet memories. Miss you and love you forever. R.I.P Freshie

May 25, 2020

Son, I wish I could wake up and see you standing there.
Then I would know that it was just a nightmare.

Son, I remember when you were small and how you would hold my hand,
and as you grew older you became my best friend.

Son, I have 31 years of memories that I will treasure and keep safe in my heart.
We share a bond that time and distance can never break apart.

Son, oh how my heart aches so.
I would love to have you back and never let you go.

Son, where there was happiness,
now there is sadness.

Son, how I long to hear your voice and see your beautiful smile
and have you back for just a little while.

Son, until that day I see you again,
I will look to the sky and search among the stars for my son and best friend.

Love,
Mom, S.I.P

May 24, 2020

Rest In Peace Freshie (Damion)....So sad, another year without you...another Anniversary that we didn't want. I miss you, I think about you all the time. So many things have changed Freshie and so many things I would love to tell you. You will always be my step-son and time will never change that. I always think of you when I make my Lasagna that you loved so much.

Always Loved - Always Remembered - Always Missed

Dearest son, today is your birthday. Although you are not here to celebrate it with us, we are all thinking about you and missing you.
Your love and happiness spread joy to everyone who knew you. Each birthday was a chance for us to celebrate all of the blessings that you brought into our life. This birthday is bittersweet. While it brings me memories of the joy you once graced our lives with, it is bitter to think that you are not here to share it with us.
If tears could build a stairway and memories could make a lane, then I would march right up to heaven and take you home again. Happy birthday, son my firstlove ❤️

Happy Birthday Damion 'Freshie' Hanchard !

To my beloved stepson on his 37th birthday. I miss you everyday, and we remember you every day. They say that as long as your name is spoken, you will always live on, and i will always speak your name.

Those we love remain with us, for Love itself lives on
Cherished memories never fade when a loved one is gone
Those we love can never be, more than a thought apart
For as long as there is memory, they live forever in our heart

R.I.P Freshie.....Always remembered, Always loved

Never knew you at all, thought some other guy was my actual dad. You and mom were voice messaging each other hours or maybe a day before the accident. But I wish you were still here so we could work something out.... Rest In Peace. -Malachi Tennant

May 24, 2019

Five years ago, on this saddest day, you have gone to the place from where no one ever back. I can’t explain what is going through me. You are missed every day and every moment. I hope you are doing well with other angels.
========================
I couldn’t even realize how 5 years has passed since I lost you. It seems like it was just a year ago. Your death has reminded us that in this world nothing is permanent, we all have to go when God wishes. Just stay peacefully in heaven and don’t worry about us! Love You ❤️

May 23, 2019

In Memory of my beloved stepson Damion 'Freshie' Hanchard.
Today is 5 years you have gone away, but it feels like yesterday.
You will always be missed and loved. Rest in Peace Freshie.
Our memories build a special bridge when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still and sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared, preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love and bring us peace of mind.
No one know how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost you
Life has never been the same.
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true.
There is not a day, dear Freshie,
That we do not think of you.
R.I.P Freshie....Always remembered, Always missed.
Your loving stepmom Iscia xxxxxxxxooooo

January 3, 2019

Son I miss you. I always miss you, even when I don’t say it, I’m always thinking it. It’s an ache that perpetually aches– in my heart, my head, my soul– deep within my bones. The you-shaped hole in my heart will always remain.

I want you to know that even though you’re no longer here, I think about you every single day. I miss your smile, your laughter and your sense of humor. I guess, heaven is just lucky to have an angel as you.
Every year, I think of you while shedding so many tears. It just feels like yesterday even though it has been so many years. I know you are in a better place right now. Always Loved - Always Remembered - Never Forgotten

R.I.P. Damion 'Freshie' Hanchard - Beloved Stepson
Nov 3 1982 - May 24, 2014
In our home he is fondly remembered.
Sweet memories cling to his name.
Those who loved him in life sincerely
Still love him in death just the same.
Today recalls the memory
Of a loved one gone to rest,
And those who think of him today
Are those who loved him best.
The flowers we lay upon his grave
May wither and decay,
But the love for him who lies beneath
Will never fade away.
Dearly missed by your Stepmom, Andy & Chris
Always Remembered, Always Loved, Forever Missed

Happy birthday Fresh. Hope u smiling up there

May 24, 2017

I only have a picture now,
A frozen piece of time,
To remind me of how it was,
When you were here, and mine.

I see your smiling eyes,
Each morning when I wake,
I talk to you, and hear you joking with me
All the time

How much I miss you being here,
I really cannot say,
The ache is deep inside my heart,
And never goes away.

I hear it mentioned often,
That time will heal the pain,
But if I'm being honest,
I hope it will remain.

I need to feel you constantly,
To get me through the day,
I loved you so very much,
Why did you go away?

The angels came and took you,
That really wasn't fair,
They took a son a father a brother a friend
My future life. My love ❤️

If only they had asked me,
If I would take your place,
I would have done so willingly,
Leaving you this world to grace.

You should have had so many years,
To watch your life unfold,
And in the mist of this,
Watch me, your Mum grow old!

I hope you're watching from above,
At the daily tasks I do,
And let there be no doubt at all,
We really do love you, and miss you so much.

May 23, 2017

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
and only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
Our secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you Freshie
No one will ever know

Always thinking of you. Missing you dearly but never forgotten Freshie.

I will always be your stepmom. Rest In Peace xxxooo

In memory of my stepson Damion 'Freshie' on his 34th Birthday...

As I visit your final resting place, upon this special day
Once more I feel the sadness that will never go away
For ever since you're gone, life has never been the same
Yet it comforts me, that one day we will meet again
Until that day arrives Freshie, I will relive every memory
Of the happy times we shared...For I miss you very much
And words could not tell how much joy you brought into our lives

Dearly missed...Always loved...Never forgotten....

R.I.P Damion 'Frehsie' Hanchard

Your loving stepmom..Andy & Chris

November 3, 2016

Though I'm missing you
I'll find a way to get through
Living without you
'Cause you are my son, my strength and my pride
Only god may know why,
Still I will get by
Who would've known, that you'd have to go so suddenly, so fast
How could it be, that our sweet memories would be all, all that we have left?
Now that you're gone, every day I go on
But life's just not the same .
I'm so empty inside,
And my tears I can't hide
But I'll try,
I'll try to face the pain
Oh there were so many things
That we could have shared, uh-huh
If time was on our side
Now that you're gone, I can still feel you near
So I'll smile with every tear I cry
How sweet were the closest of mother and friends?
But I'll wait for the day
When I'll see you again,
See you again, my love ,we miss you so much it hurts like crazy❤️❤️

November 3, 2016

Happy Birthday Freshy....There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you...Only the father knows how much I truly miss you...Love you always and forever!! RIP Daddy

When someone you love becomes a memory
That memory becomes a treasure

I cannot bring the old days back
Your smile I cannot see
I can only treasure the memories
Of days that used to be

Thinking of my beloved stepson 'Freshie'. R.I.P

May 24, 2016

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
Every day in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
Your presence we miss, Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always, Forgetting you never.
No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it, And only God can tell us why.
We can't have old days back When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts Will be with us forever.
When a loved one becomes a memory That memory becomes a treasure.
You are not forgotten loved one . Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last . We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.

In Memory of Damion "Freshie"

It still seems like yesterday, but it's 2 years now that you left us. I hope you knew how loved you were. You were such a good person Freshie.
Just like in life, in death you bring your family and friends together. That thread of people who loved you, will eternally keep us all together. As time goes by, we will always have your memories to share, some to make us cry and some to make us laugh, and that is the beauty of your kind and gentle soul.

You will forever be my stepson and will be forever in my heart. I often talk about you with Andy and Chris, and we will always be grateful to you, and I'm glad I told you.

Rest in Peace Freshie..Always loved, Always missed...

May 22, 2016

In Memory of my stepson Damion 'Freshie' Hanchard

To lose someone so special is really hard to bear
It seems unbelievable that you are no longer there
You left us far too early, before your time it seems
And now you'll never have the chance to fulfill all those dreams

You always lived life to the full, but ours won't be the same
Until the day, we can see your smiling face again.

Today is the last day I spoke to you, I can't believe it's already been 2 years. You asked me when I was going to make the 'lasagna' for you again. You always loved my lasagna..I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to make it for you again.

Always Remembered...Always Loved...Forever Missed

Freshie Birthday

November 3, 2016

This story always plays in my head. I would always call Frehie on Nov 5th to say happy birthday. Freshie would always tell me "Iscia, it's Nov 3rd not the 5th".

It was a running joke with us, because every year I would call him on the 5th of November.

Sadly, after he passed away, I remembered his birthday on Nov 3rd, and every year after that.

It still a sweet memory, because now on Nov 5th, I'm always thinking "Man, I can't remember who's birthday it is today" ...and then it brings a smile to my face, because I remember Freshie..and think "Oh ya...it's Freshie's second Birthday Date". Boy, I miss him so much. So many stories to tell him, so many things I wish I could tell him. Two years later, I still can't erase his number of my phone.

At least I have the peace that I always told him 'love you' when I would get off the phone, and I know he knew I loved him like my own son.

R.I.P Freshie.....Always loved...Forever missed....

A good Man and Friend

March 1, 2015

Damion Hanchard aka Freshie

What a great man! We met in high school. I came from a grade school where I had little to no friends that were black and then I came to Notre Dame and had a hard time fitting in with the black kids at school because I didn't talk like them nor did I have the same interests as them. But he saw passed that and treated me with respect and saw me a person.

In grade 10 I move to the Linkdale area of Brampton and He lived right around the corner from me. When the Boys on the block wanted to punk me off and rush me for fun Damion stuck up for me and told them to let me be.

We walked home together many times after school and he showed me around the neighbor hood and short cuts to get home quicker. We shared many of the same classes and I will never forget that arts class we had together............So much laughter!!

We lost touch after High school but then we saw each other after 4 years at Raxx where I was working Security and even then He was happy to see me and offered to help me get a car if I needed help!! Damion NEVER changed... He was always loyal and willing to help others if they needed it! I am proud to have known Him and I will never forget his memory.

Damion Hanchard a good Man and a Good friend.

And NEVER FORGOTTON.....

Rest in Peace My Friend.....

Remembering Your Birthday

November 3, 2014

This story makes me smile when I think about you on your 32nd Birthday.

I always remembered your birthday and I always called you on Nov 5th to wish you a Happy Birthday.

Every year you would tell me, "Iscia, every year you call me on Nov 5th and every year I tell you my birthday is Nov 3rd". So we would laugh and then I would promised "Okay Freshie, next year I'm going to remember!".

Then the next year I would call you Nov 5th !!

It saddens me that now I remember your birthday on Nov 3rd, I hope in some way you know I finally got it right.

Always remembered by your step-mom Iscia..........R.I.P
