| August 27th, 2001 Somerleigh Lasko Arch was the kinda guy who would give his left eye so you could see the world. He would do anything for his friends. I once told him in a Valentine's day email that he was the only guy I knew that was truly sensitive and he wrote me back saying that I was one of his best friends, and that I was one of the few who really knew him. I wish I would have known him better, but I still would have missed him this much. I love you Arch August 27th, 2001 Steve Wesseling & Marianne DeBruyne As I read over my ICQ history with Archie I notice that it was always him that initiated our conversations. He always asked how our weekend was or how we were in general. He was a great listener and we will miss him dearly. We will not be crossing Archie off of our wedding guest list because we know he will be there in spirit. We will love you always. August 27th, 2001 Sandeep Mishra Archie was a great person... I didn't spend a lot of time with him or talk to him much, but with so many people that turned their shoulder to me, Archie was always there, always supportive. He was a great person, and he will be missed by a great many, even people that didn't know him too well like me. I know that I will never forget him. He'll always be in our hearts. August 27th, 2001 Michael Mesquita Arch's Gate Taking charge of heaven, watching over the angels. A helping hand as big as an ox, always waiting there for someone. The smile of a gold mine, the laugh of an eagle. Both distinct. Never to be forgotten, a man of so many lengths. The lengths which he would extend himself to help everyone; anyone. Always there with something to say, something to laugh about. Always there to help. Just always there. Never to be forgotten. No longer here to help us humans now. Away to a distance greater than here to the sun. Yet, he arrived to paradise at such a great speed that he marked each and every one of us for life. He's there with father, his father, our father. We shall encounter and befriend him yet again in the future. But for now...this is his time. With the angels, his angels. We must wait our turn to be with our Great Angel once again. I can honestly say that there are no words to describe how Arch was, but at the same time, there are too many words. Simply put, Archie was Archie. We love you Archie, we always will, and you're always going to be with everyone. We love you Arch-man! August 28th, 2001 Sarah DeRuiter Archie was the most caring person you would have ever met. We talked a lot on the net, and a few times in person. I'll never forget him. He always found a way to make people smile when they were feeling bad. If they were hurt or lonely, he was there for you. We may have a hard time with this accident, but memories of him will never be forgotten or lost. My prayers are with you. Sarah August 30th, 2001 Terri-Lynn Jelsma I've known Archie for years, but have only gotten to know him well this past summer. There are just too many amazing memories of him as I'm sure we've all realized. Drinking with him & Ryan until the sun rose at the cottage; the "short-cut" he used to take Somee & me to Brantford; the indepth conversations of soapy boy smells & Rev preferences with Becky at Andrew's; & I'll never forget the night many winters ago he & I "stole" Nick's Daytona. Even though his life was ended too short we are all so lucky to have these great memories & to have had him as a friend. Get the party started for us Arch & know that we'll always miss, but love you! August 31th, 2001 Alycia Martin Archie, where to even start? Archie and I had so many moments shared only by us. He *always* made time for me, and always knew when I needed him the most. We had a connection, the kind you find only a couple of times in your whole life. He was one of the very few people I ever talked on the phone til 3 am to. Arch was the one who was always trying to keep our group of friends together. He always wanted everyone to be together, and to be having fun. He was one of the most sensitive, and in-tune guys I ever met. He worried about whether he was being a good example for his brothers, and whether his parents were proud of him. I always assured him that they were. How could anyone not have been? Archie took me to my prom, and made a night that by all rights would have been miserable otherwise, pretty fun! I am very fortunate to have had that day, because now I have beautiful pictures of the two of us. The only thing that comes close to having him in my life, is knowing that he is now a guardian angel, to all of us. As I said to his mom, he was an angel on earth, and now he is an angel in heaven, and I can't wait til the day I get to laugh with him, cry with him, and hug him again. I love you Arch Alycia September 4th, 2001 Ryan Robyn What can I say about the guy? He was like a brother to me, someone I instinctively called every Friday to see what he was up to on the weekend. We went everywhere, we did everything and I'll never forget him. I'll never forget that smile, those embracing arms that were always willing to give a hug, and the "Unghs" that follwed my "Unghs". Arch always wanted everyone together and he was always there to listen. I was reading over Archie's section on my homepage (Party HQ) and even in his stories you can tell he was sooo happy to have friends like us. He'd be proud of us all and want us to move on with him forever in our hearts. I love you Arch and for now so long till' we meet again in the sky. Archie Jacques (ICQ#43975136) Wrote: so often different people want me to do different things. for example, the night when you talked me into doing something with you, i could have done other things. this saturday i could go to the german, go in that limo, or go out with travis and philly. last friday i could have went to dinner, stayed here, probably could have gone to trav's too. when i make a decision to do something, it's not a shot at anyone, it's usually me just trying to make a decision and hoping it's the best one. that is why i want to have a party so i can please the most people possible. September 27th, 2001 Kelly O'Neill It still seems as though Archie is with us. I suppose that's because he always will be in our hearts. He was the neighbour down the road who I never really knew until the past couple of years. Archie was always there to listen when you needed someone to talk to. He was one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met, and probably ever will. There is not one person who I have met who did not like Archie, he got along with everyone, he always wanted to make everyone happy, and he always did. We all miss you Archie, and we will see you again, in a better place . . . October 24th, 2001 Rochelle Ethier Forever Archie Everyone will die and that is a fact, But we must believe they will always come back. His physical appearance may have been taken from us, But his soul will remain always; in this we trust. His laughter, joy, sadness and sorrow, Will be with us today and forever tomorrow. Only twenty-two years of life seems so unfair, Trying to figure this out only leads to despair. We celebrate what he gave to each and everyone, Happy memories abound will be forever undone. The Lord works in such mysterious ways, Taking from us what we feel should stay. Memories are forever and through this we find, A loved one is gone, but will never leave our mind. There is a void in our lives, that there will always be, Of a special young man, Forever Archie. I believe that Archie was our angel, and we all loved him so much. It was very hard for me to read this at the funeral, but somewhere deep inside I seemed to find the courage, Thanks Archie, I knew you would help me, Love Rochelle A message from Archie? I had a dream not to long ago, it was after the funeral and shortly after I moved to London. I went to bed when all of a sudden someone was sitting on my bed, no one other than Archie. It was so real, I think that I hugged him forever, and after I stopped crying, He said to me "I want you to tell everyone that everything is going to be okay". When I woke up he was gone...I cried for hours, asking him to come back. I'm not sure if this is a message for us but I'm going to perceive it that way. We miss you we love and we'll see you again. So to all of us.....Everything is going to be okay. November 1, 2001 Kaitlyn Finley Beautiful Peace Fly away where a new world waits for you Always look back though Not to cry and not to regret, just to help whose left behind Help us all to heal and understand Because we don't know why you had to leave I can only guess it was time for you to be free To ascend to a broader, more wonderful life than this I believe you're in a better place now A place where only beautiful souls will hold you Be sure to comfort and protect your children They need you now Stand behind them, rise within them, and love them. I'll never forget you Archie, Love always Kaitlyn December 13th, 2002 Cheryl Wills Time goes by but the hollow emptiness I feel does not. Losing you was like losing one of my own. I close my eyes and I can picture your smiling face. I will never forget the place you held in our home, with our family and in our hearts. As Christmas nears, I feel it is important to take time to express to your loved ones how you feel. Archie; I love you and I miss you. Till we meet again, Cheryl |
