A candle lit in continued loving remembrance of you!
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Leroy Mac Bene Courtar, 30, born on May 26, 1982 and passed away on January 19, 2013. We will remember him forever.
Leroy,
My dear son, one year ago today, my tomorrow started without you. I still can’t believe you were gone so quickly. Everyday since then, I have cherished the memories of you and the love you brought to my life throughout the years. Your parting has certainly left a void, but my silent tears, recurring thoughts and dreams keep you close to my heart and I will always love you for the rest of my life.
Your Mom Sadie.
God looked around his garden and he found an empty place,
He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's Garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered
"PEACE BE THINE".
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone,
For parts of us went with you the day God called you home.

Leroy..... Gone but not forgotten. I remember being back in Aruba and you teaching me how to make your crafts. I told you I didn't have the patience for it, you told me not to worry you would make it for me. When i think of you the first thing that comes to mind is the sate shop, you carried me to and how much we laughed that night. I remembered running away from dogs that were chasing us. I took off in one speed when u finally caught up to me u asked me where I think I'm going..... my reply I don't think you saw the dog's teeth. We laughed all the way home, we were so busy laughing we could even give the full story. Love always Hugh,Helen&Ellen

No words I write could ever say how sad and empty I feel today.
I can still remember how brave you were, having to undergo your brain tumor operation at such a young age at Miami Children’s Hospital as I stood at your bedside together with your mom. I also remembered you volunteering, without hesitation, to stay with your loving great-grandmother, Ma, at home in Atlanta Georgia while I was at work. These are just a few of the many memories that will forever remain with me. I will miss you dearly, but God saw it best to call you to rest from your life here on earth until He returns. I pray we will meet again.

THE BROKEN CORD
January 22, 2013
The broken cord
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us, one by one,
The Chain will link again.
