A tribute to all those whose lives touched ours 2013

It was an interesting year to say the least and this year in particular will cause so many to look back over the year and reflect on our own mortality and even perhaps on what we managed to accomplish. I have collected a series of videos that I feel play tribute to those whose lives will no longer grace ours except in their spirit and their legacies. I honor all the lives lost this past year.

Of course the above video honors those that most people know or have known but this year gave us many losses of those that we may not have known of but we were all touched by these losses and we were saddened or shocked or just plain horrified by the passing of so many in so many different ways. The next few videos honors those individuals.

2013 was a year of record-breaking natural disasters.

And then there are our children. The true innocents. There are no words to express our sorrow over their loss.

And yes, the bombings that took lives …

There are hundreds and hundreds of videos that I could put up but the point of all of the above is just to acknowledge that I did notice and I did care. I honor all the souls that passed on this past year. I honor all souls that passed on … period.

Death takes the body. God takes the soul. Our mind holds the memories. Our heart keeps the love. Our faith lets us know we will meet again.~Anon
