Uncle Dan was just himself, easy to be around. he has a dry sense of humor which always made me smile. Once when Uncle Dan's brother Harry, Mike and I came for a visit, he picked us up at the airport and after the initial hellos he said, "you can always tell the tourists, they have brand new bright white tennis shoes on." Of course I had to look down at my feet with just such a pair on! Uncle Dan and Aunt Viv came to several family events in Michigan through the years. He will be missed.

Miss me - But let me go. When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room; why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we shared. Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone, it's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know and Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go. RIP Dan. Denis Collins

Thoughts and prayers are with you daily. Lynn and I are so glad we spent a week in October visiting with Tom & Jean, Kathy & Mike and Tommy. We have wonderful memories from that time together, spent reminiscing about childhood & growing up in Rock Creek. Good times full of laughter and some tears, too. God's plans are not always what we want them to be. Bless you, Jean, for your loving care at home throughout Tom's illness. Rest in peace, Tom. We will miss you. Love, Wendy

Before she left to her daughters she gave me some craft stuff inside a bag was material of sunflowers. I made a pillow. Love u sister. See u when i get there: sunflower:..

Cousin Tracy

Hi cousin, I have this cheap little phone. I remember when I was in my teens your mom took in me. She lived in New Jersey. I was a lost pregnant soul. My mind was a mess. She was a blessing. Her taking me in gave me a second chance. She was always encouraging. She did what she had to do to take care of all of you. It taught me that raising a child could be done alone .I learned so much the couple of months I was there. At a time I was depressed, she showed me love. I know in my younger years I was a free spirit. She was very overprotected;;not allowing me to be a follower. She encouraged me to get my head on straight. Not to allow any man to make me feel unworthy. I was a beautiful girl that would overcome my challenges .She believed in me. That visit was everything I needed. God sent her to me ....I will be forever grateful for you taking me in . If you hadn't I don't know where I'd be ... I love you Auntie always and forever

Lucy Landreth

i was at your place in Sayreville... i don’t even know if it was yours.... i woke you up... and then you started talking spanish I sat there like an ass. lol I never knew you could speak another language ,, i sat there and tried to figure out .. in english what you said lol... that was the last time i saw you...fly free....

Shirley Marie Browning

February 13, 1935 - January 26, 2016

I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me God wanted me now, He set me free...

Ruth Ann Zaidi

April 7, 1953 - January 25, 2016

Ruth entered eternal life on January 25, 2016 at just 62 years old. Ruth is survived by her daughter Rana Michelle Ortega, Grandson’s Roland Dee Ortega II and Adrian Cruz Ortega, Mother Barbara Jean LeDonne, and Sisters Betty Jean LeDonne and Carol Lynn Arens. She was born in New Jersey to Elmer and Barbara LeDonne on April 7, 1953. She was the eldest of three girls. She grew up in Southern California and lived most of her life in Upland, California. She married Mumtaz Zaidi and gave birth to her only daughter, Rana Michelle (Zaidi) Ortega. After her divorce, she remained devoted to supporting her daughter, and later her grandsons, in every endeavor of their lives. Ruth was well known by many as an Angle of Grace, she was always there for those she loved in times of need. She was a devoted daughter, a loving, supportive and caring mother and the most amazing grandma to her grandsons who were her world. Although she only gave birth to one daughter, and only had two grandsons, she was known by many a “grandma”, “mom” or “friend”. She enjoyed spending time at her Church and listening to Christian music, listening to her “oldies”, reading books, going to the movies, spending time with her girlfriends, and most of all, taking care of her grandsons. She would often be seen at her grandson’s Jiu Jitsu tournaments, the football practice field, football games, school plays, and anything that had to do with her grandsons. She never missed anything. Even in the most recent years, as her body started to wear down, she could be seen slowly walking with the assistance of her walker through football fields to watch games. She also was very involved in her son-in-law, Roland Ortega’s family, and was always at family events and was loved by the entire Ortega clan. She was also a pseudo mother to many of her daughter’s friends. While her death was sudden and unexpected, her lifelong dream was to enter into the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father. That dream is now realized. While she is free, her loved ones are bund here in her absence which will be felt until we join her. While it may be hard for those of us left behind, comfort must come in knowing that she is in peace and is now our Guardian Angle. Services: Memorial will be February 11, 2016 at 2:00p.m. at the Historic St. Marks Church Building located at 525 W. 18th Street, Upland CA. A reception will follow at 1679 Alps Drive, Upland Ca. The family is asking that people attending the reception bring a desert or snack to share (potluck style).

It all just seems so surreal. To lose someone near and dear hits a nerve and I lost it the day I found out. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. To know that when I finally do come home I won't get to hear your voice nor see your smile tears me up inside. Not only were you my movie buddy, you were my Aunt... You left a very positive image of yourself that I will NEVER forget. Kind, humble, and so caring you were. I want you to know that I miss you and I will forever love you Auntie Ruth. May your soul rest easy baby

Ruth you helped me with my grandmother Kathy while she was living soo much. You were practically the only person who knew how to handle her with a smile. I remember the two of you walking in with her groceries sweating. My grandmother would enter the room with a frown but you would enter the room with a smile saying l got it Aunt Kathy. I'm sure God needed your help with her which is why he called you up. I also feel you had arrived at the forgiveness your soul needed. I will miss our talks about life and faith. My ears were ringing in a strange way last week. I trust that you wanted to let me know that you are still with us. I love you so much Ruth and l expect to see you soon

Mom, you finally got your wish. I need you to know that we're going to be okay. It won't be easy, I'll miss you everyday. I envisioned you being there for Lil Roland's wedding. Nothing will be the same without you, but we will be okay. I'm so sorry for not hugging you more, calling you more, saying I love you more. I'm so sorry for being impatient with you at times, for getting upset when you didn't understand, or spoiled the boys too much. I'm sorry if I seemed disinterested at times in things you were telling me, and I'm sorry for not spending more time with you. I hope you know how much I love you, how much you meant to me, and much I needed you. I keep wanting to call you. I keep expecting you to call me, to walk through my door. I know I'll see you again but it just seems so far away. Rest in peace. ..it will be hard, but you raised a strong woman and I will be okay. I love you mom!

April 15, 1970 - January 21, 2016

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Bradley Michael Ballay. Born on April 15, 1970, at Park Avenue Hospital in Pomona. He grew up in Alta Loma and remained in the area for all of his life. He has many community connections and it was almost impossible to go somewhere with him without running into someone he knew. Brad was 45 at the time of his death and leaves behind his wife and eternal companion Gwendolyn and his bright and beautiful daughter Tiffany as well as both parents Ron and Marnee and two brothers Bob (Dianne) and Mike(Jackie) along with many nieces and nephews. His close friendships meant a great deal to him and he leaves a void in Ryan's and Skye's lives. He will also be greatly missed by his furry four legged friends. He was active in his church and there are many in his ward who will miss him deeply. He had held a position as Elders Quorum President, Assistant secretary in the Bishopric and his most loved position was Ward Mission Leader. He owned and ran Acoustical Ceilings with his brother Bob for most of his adult life and dealt with the physical limitations and pain he had with grace and dignity. He loved a good story and always took his time in telling it well. He particularly loved camping and driving his truck at Glamis, as well as boating and riding his motorcycle. He was a big fan of nascar since he was a child. Family was always a priority for him and he would go out of his way to make you feel important in his life. His smile and sparkling blue eyes would light up a room. He will be deeply missed. Services will be held Tuesday February 9, 2016 at 11am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 9075 Baseline Rd, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 All are welcome Masonic Funeral will take place in the cultural hall after the services.

Charlie and I met Brad and Gwen at Russ Thompson Stables in 2012. We quickly became 'horse buddies' and shared many fears and accomplishments with our horses. We fell, and we got back up! Brad was kind enough to take pictures at the horse show for me when Gwen had to work. He sat in the bleachers and cheered me on. It meant so much to me. And when we did our show together, he was right there cheering Gwen on. He will be greatly missed. Our hearts are so heavy for you all.

Irene Marie Castor

March 29, 1958 - January 17, 2016

Our beloved Irene Marie Estrada Castor will always live on in our hearts. She entered eternal life on January 17, 2016 after battling cancer for over two years. She was born in Glendale on March 29, 1958. She was born to Miguel and Ruth Estrada and was the oldest of four children. Her siblings include Linda, Michael, and Francis. She grew up in Los Angeles, California. Her fondest childhood memories were of the family trips they would take fishing, hiking, and visiting the National Parks. She would tell stories of the picnics they had and how her mom would pack a lot of good food. Irene’s love for animals began in childhood. She loved having chickens, cats, and dogs. Growing up she enjoyed swimming and studying ju-jitsu. Irene attended Wilson High School where she loved to participate in ballet folklorico. She was fascinated by the costumes and culture behind her dancing. She was always a strong and kind person who emphasized helping others; which explains why she was also a lifeguard. After graduating high school, she immediately joined the U.S. Navy in 1977 when she was 18 years old. She worked as a lithographer for the Pacific Stars and Stripes Newspaper. She was stationed in Tennessee then deployed to Japan from 1979 to 1982 where she met and married her husband, Peter Castor and made a lot of life-long friends there. Together, they enjoyed the Japanese music scene and immersed themselves in the Japanese culinary culture and sight-seeing. They even hiked to the top of Mount Fuji. While living in Japan, even the Japanese couldn’t deny her beauty inside and out. She was recruited and was able to experience modeling, doing a commercial, and had a short lived role in a Japanese soap opera. In 1982, Irene was released from active duty. She and her husband settled down back in Moreno Valley, California. There, Irene raised her two children, Elaine and David. She contributed to the local Christian church community by volunteering to watch babies and young children so their parents could attend services and was involved in her children’s bible study programs. She also managed to graduate with her Associate’s Degree from Riverside Community College. She worked as a receptionist and in the back office with medical records at the local health clinic. Then she decided to stay home and finish raising her 2 children. She loved all walks of life, especially animals and children. Irene had a knack for befriending any animal from a toad in the Merced River in Yosemite, to wounded birds or stray cats. She loved her cats. She even took care of the strays and invested a significant amount of money to get them fixed. She would even travel to the emergency vet in the middle of the night to help them on several occasions. She even had a soft spot for bugs and spiders, believe it or not. She would collect them with her bare hands (if they weren’t poisonous) and gently placed them back outside. Her favorite were the little jumping spiders. She would giggle when they would hop around as she would try to get them to put them somewhere safe. Her soft spot for children grew as her children brought over their friends. She would take in each friend and treat them as though they were her own child. She would drive all the kids to school and pick them up. Even on rainy days her car was packed with kids. She might have to make more than one trip get each kid home safe. The friends her kids made were special to her and quickly became family. She became a second mom to several of them. Irene was very progressive and was an independent thinker. She was easy to talk to and didn’t judge. She was a good listener and didn’t gossip. Her taste in music was eclectic. She liked rock and roll, alternative, classical, broadway, pop, and indie. Her laugh was contagious and anyone who could hear her laugh from far away would know it was her. She loved nature in all of its beauty. She looked forward to camping every year, going on hikes, bike riding on nature trails, going to the beach, swimming, nature walks, traveling, trying new food and drink places, etc. She liked to explore the world. She liked to explore the cities. She encouraged everyone to travel. She claimed it would “broaden our horizons to see that there are so many more people to meet and cultures to learn from”. She was adventurous and inspirational. She didn’t like to spend money on “things” like flowers, decadent candies, or jewelry. Instead, she wanted to spend the hard earned money on experiences or people who needed it more. Irene will be remembered as selfless, loving, adventurous, courageous, strong, and happy. She was always happy and smiling. She was easy going and down to earth. She was kind. She was supportive to her loved ones in every way she possibly could be. She is irreplaceable. She is unforgettable. She will remain in our hearts. She will be that butterfly feeling in our chest when we are happy in an unfamiliar place, learning new things with the people we love. Irene is survived by her loving husband Peter, her two children Elaine and David, her sister Linda and Feliciano (brother-in-law), brother Michael, brother Francis and Ana (sister-in-law), all her nieces and nephews, extended family, and symbolically adopted family friends. She was a wife, mother, sister, aunt, second mother, and friend. She will be missed and remembered, but most importantly she will always be loved.

Irene, My dearest sweet sister may god rest your soul. There will never be anyone like you. However, I see you in the faces of your dear sweet Elaine and David. When in their company, it's almost you. They share your passion and emotion for life. It's painful to witness the heartbreak that Peter, Elaine and David are going through at the moment. They will carry on with you in their hearts. Your little family was godsend. You provided great memories for all that had the pleasure to have met you. You will always be on my mind. Very Truly Yours, Linda

Irene was always kind, gentle, and quick to smile. May she rest in peace. –Alex

Doris Faye Batts

October 28, 1960 - January 16, 2016

Proverbs 31:10-31 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Rev. Hannah Louise (King) Boone was born on 28 January 1935 and it must have been a beautiful day for an Angel was born, in Belhaven, NC. She was called home on 15 January 2016 in Riverside, CA. She will be deeply missed. We have lost one of God’s Angels. She leaves behind 4 children, Janice Lovett, Anthony Boone, Albert Boone and Everett Boone and 2 brothers, Henry King and Willie Dudley, and many grandchildren and many great grandchildren. She loved family and would do all she could for us. She was preceded in death by her husband Everett M L Boone. She was a wife and mother, a teacher and a minister, a godmother and an aunt. To many people she was many things. My mother received her call to minister late in life and she never looked back. She lead the ladies worship group. She was a Sunday school teacher at Palma Ceia Baptist Church in Hayward, CA. She was also a member of 2nd Baptist Church in Riverside, CA. Her duties with the church were many and she would help anyone who asked for it. She made everyone feel welcome in her home. She would bless you in and pray you out. She made sure you knew you were always in her prayers. Mama believed in the power of God. She believed with His help you could overcome anything. My mother was a powerful prayer and her faith always showed. My mother loved her childhood in Belhaven so much so that each summer as kinds we would all go down for a few weeks with my great grandma. It was a high light of my childhood. She made sure we understood family and she would add many people to our family over the years by bringing them under her wing. The family would like to take this time to thank everyone for their help and support during my mother’s illness. May God bless her soul and keep her for times. A special thank you to Maudie Wilson who was my mama’s best friend here and her rock and who has become my rock also. Words can’t really thank you enough, but we love you.

Gregory Toliver was born January 28th, 1952, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

Michael Wurster

I knew Gregory originally as Lloyd Johnson. He was instrumental in founding, with myself and three others, Pittsburgh Poetry Exchange (ppepoets@yahoo.com). Lloyd/Gregory was a brilliant poet, fabulous raconteur, and wonderful friend. We stayed up talking many a night. I've missed him ever since he moved west and miss him now even more.

Dr. Joseph A. Float, Jr.

Lost a dear friend this month. In our early 20's we were part of a three person folk group named Redemption. He was an incredible lyricist and I had the honor of arranging and at times composing music for his work. We found our way to the Bitter End in NYC, and enjoyed a degree of notoriety in Pittsburgh region in the mid 1970's. I never saw him after he left Pennsylvania in 1981, but I did speak to him frequently in the 90's and at one point when visiting our bandmate Richard Salsgiver in California in 1995, Salty and I almost made the trip from Fresno to LA to see him, but he would not receive us as visitors. Salty and I kept track best we could of him during last 20 years, but we never did connect in person. And then there were two of us left.

Richard Salsgiver

Gregory and I shared music in Pittsburgh PA in the early 70s. We had a group called "Redemption." Gregory wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music. Joe Float played bass and did the arranging and also wrote music. We played with John Hartford at the University of Pittsburgh and we played at the Bitter End in New York City. It was the most creativity time of my life. Gregory was brilliant and we spent many hours late into the night talking about philosophy, music, etc. I loved him very much. When I was in CA, I tried to get together with him many times but it never worked. I will miss him so very much. My condolences to his family who he loved very much. Dr. Richard O. Salsgiver, Professor Emeritus, CSU Fresno. Or to Gregory, Salty.
