Message to the Family: I NEED YOU. I WANT YOU. I MISS YOU. I LOVE YOU ED. Your Myra Kathryn, your Honeykat

Message to the Family: Ed, I'm having a BAD day today :-(. I'll start to work on something or get myself dressed and I begin to walk around in circles. I'm not focusing as I should. My body aches...my heart aches...I'm just not up to LIVING LIFE today. Sometimes I want to disappear. I want to get out of this house and take my mind off of the pain. How can I do that when the pain is present because you're gone? I understand that you're never coming back...I get it! I just want to know how I'll live without you. I feel bad when I eat. I feel bad when I laugh. I feel bad when I want to go out just to escape everything and everyone. I feel bad doing things which allow me to move forward with my life. I don't want to move forward without you :-(. I took a photo of you while you were in the hospital. I did this because seeing you that way was part of my journey with you. I haven't been with you through only good times, I've stuck with you, US, through the bad as well. I was your Ride or Die girl. I look at the photograph and realize that I wouldn't have wanted you to suffer if you'd come out of the coma. To want that would have meant loving you at your expense. When I look at the photograph it reminds me that it was best to tell you it was alright to leave me and be with God in heaven. The preacher from your church said something which I'd not heard before. He said it wasn't necessary to want you to Rest in Peace because you already are at peace now. It's for those left behind to find peace. When we were together you were my oasis. I am so sad Ed :-(. I need a nose kiss :-(. Honeykat loves you.

Message to the Family: Ed, you probably think I'm crazy to continue coming into this website lighting candles; but, I HAVE to do it. I can't stop until every single candle is lit. Each one is like a glowing thank you to God for bringing you into my life. And yet, there could be millions of candles to light and they wouldn't convey what I feel in my heart for you. I am so sad tonight Ed. Sometimes I seem to have my feelings under control, then suddenly I begin to cry :-(. I still don't understand why God had to take you away from me when we were finally going to share our lives together for real. It's not fair :-(. I love you Ed. Please come to me in my dreams. I miss you so much. Honeykat

Message to the Family: Ed, I am soooooooooooo happy!!! Your children are going to bring some of your personal items for me to keep! It's so exciting on myriad levels. To have your things...things which meant so much to me when we were together, is like winning the lottery :-). Everything will be here on Friday. It's difficult to contain my emotions. I miss you so much and to be able to sit among your items will afford me a bit of comfort in your absence. I love you Edward Lyons. My life is so lonely without you :-(. Kisses. your Honeykat

Message to the Family: We were going to dance to this song in Ed's backyard after our wedding. It's called, "Back Where I Started." I would give ANYTHING to see you again Ed. I love you so. Dancing backwards wound up in another place and time No way of knowing where I was headed to Maybe I was running away like always Sure wasn't ready for something new How did I wander back where I started? I'm so glad I found you there Time was wasting away like water through my hands And blood was dripping from my soul Caught up in the motion, motion that is every man Spinning out of control How did I wander back to where I started? I'm so glad I found you there Yes, I'm so glad I found you there Seems like I've known you for a thousand years Seems like I've watched you grow from a child It's hard to remember the first time I saw your face With the moonlight in your smile How did I wander back where I started? And I'm so glad I found you there I'm so glad I found you there Oh, I'm so glad I found you there And I'm so glad I found you there

Message to the Family: Ed, I've spent the past couple of hours reading love letters between the two of us. Some make me laugh out loud, while others show me why I've loved you so deeply throughout all of our years together. Someone from your family told me that I might find another man in the future...NO WAY!!! I fell in love with you because you became part of me. For this reason, I can't stop loving you unless I stop loving myself. Continuing to love you isn't contingent on your physical presence. I miss kissing you Ed. I miss the way you would come up behind me as I'd wash the dishes and gently kiss the back of my neck. I miss how you'd tell me to stop looking at you all pretty when we would argue, lol. I miss being in your company. I am going to stop writing now...it hurts to much :-(. I love you. Honeykat

Message to the Family: Good morning Ed. I am so used to getting the text, "Good morning Baby" from you each day :-(. I wanted to come to the cemetery and visit this weekend but the Pace bus will take nearly 3 hours to get to you because I must transfer. That wasn't going to deter me; but, the weather is going to be nasty and I want to be able to stay with you for a little while. I will be there on my birthday. There is no place else I'd rather be. I love you Ed. Myra Kathryn. kisses kisses kisses

Message to the Family: Ed, I watched the movie, " City Of Angels" and thought of us. We fit together...we were made to fit together. I have lost my soul mate, my husband within my heart, my dearest love. I don't know what to do with myself lately. Today is my father's birthday. He has been gone since 2003. My heart aches for him...even to this day. He was my #1 fan. Now, you are in heaven with daddy. You are the only thing that I did just for myself. I miss you Ed. I am still in shock. I just want you to come back and tell me you're on the way to pick me up. I just want to kiss you again. I am tired and must try to rest. Honeykat loves you. Goodnight.

Message to the Family: Ed, if there were a million candles on this page I could light one each day that I'm alive to represent how much you've meant to me. I love you completely. Honeykat sure does miss you :-(. XXXXOOOO

Message to the Family: Ed, I think about you every second of every day. I continue coming into this website because it makes everything real...at least, for a moment. I miss you and there's nothing I can do about it. I've cried so much that tears refuse to come out of my eyes any longer. I tell you that I love you each morning and before I close my eyes to sleep at night. How will I go on without the love of my life? I realize that I have to until we meet again. I am yours forever. your Honeykat

Message to the Family: My prayers are with the Lyons Family during this time of extreme sorrow. I ask God to keep his arms of comfort wrapped tightly around all of you. Ed was a kind and generous man. It's difficult to remain sad as long as you remember that he is part of you. Help the world know him through your acts of love.

Message to the Family: Ed, I would always ask you for a nose kiss when I was sad, and you would give me one lovingly. I couldn't receive enough nose kisses to take away the pain I'm feeling within my heart. You are the love of my life and I look forward to being with you again in heaven. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life. And, thank you for giving me the nickname, honeykat. I love you Ed. Sleep well.

Message to the Family: Ed, you made my sister truly happy and I will always love you for that. Rest in peace. Janie Lacina and the Richardson Family
