Few things in life effect us as much as the loss of a
loved one. The beauty and symbolism of a White Dove Release helps
to ease the grief. The orbs or light manifestations in these
photos produced a lot of questions from these family members. They
brought tears. Tears of joy, relief and peace. It is human
nature to try and find explanations for these phenomena.
Scientifically we feel there should be an explanation for everything.
I, myself, have not found the answers. The manifestation appearing
next to the birds was not seen in any other photos taken. The orb
in the following photos appears to stay with the hand and arm of the
handler.

In
loving memory of my son-in-law, Steve Ozbirn. I thank God
every day, for letting us have him in our lives, albeit such a
short time. The memorial service was at
South Lido, his favorite place to fish and where the picture was
taken of the last fish he caught there. It has taken me
four months to get the strength to put this on my website.
The tears continue to fall, as if it was only yesterday.
My beautiful white birds did for myself and my family what I
believe that they have done all along for my customers.
Meghan and Pam
(Steve's mother) each released a bird to represent Steve's soul
and that of his father, David, who was killed in the Falkland
War when Steve was 8 years old.
This single bird
stayed back, as the others flew home. We were worried that
we had lost him, but when we checked he was in the loft with the
others. Steve just wasn't ready
to leave.
Returning from the scattering of ashes, with Steve's fishing
pole being in exactly the right place for this photo.

service for Allan C. Hill
a prominent Sarasota resident, much loved by all.
Mr. Ernest Pusey, the Nation's oldest
World War I veteran and believed to be the world's third oldest man, was
laid to rest at
Mansion Memorial Park and
Funeral Home
on Friday,
November 24, 2006. I was honored to help ease his family's grief.
Each member released a single white dove. Below are some of them,

This was the first single white dove released, representing the soul and
his journey to rest. Psalm 55:6 "Oh, if I had wings like a dove.
For then I would fly away and be at rest."
