Moo - I still have a need to say Happy Birthday on this day. I guess because I will always remember this day was your birthday and I guess I like it so much more than on the day you passed. Its the day I have fond memories of many of your birthdays, your 60th birthday celebration with Jenna's 18th birthday was fun. Little did we all know then we only had 9 more years with you with us. I love you with all my heart and I miss you even more.

Hi Sister Happy Birthday. Just know how much I miss you. We could always talk to each other about anything. I wish you were here now. We have to stay in the house because of this virus and I have no one to talk to. I still miss your very much and hope you enjoy your Birthday with the rest of the family today. Love and miss you always.
Your Sis Linda

Moo,
It is 7 years ago you passed away. I still don't like it but if you are not suffering I have learned to be okay and accept the way you passed. I guess we all have our own journey. I believe you are with God. I believe when I see a Cardinal it is you and Dad. (As most of the time I see a pair). I love you, I miss you. I try not to remember only the sad events the day before you passed but really trying to understand what it is to celebrate your life and all the wonderful memories. I miss you Moo. Love you always and always more.

Love, Lisa -

Moo you are always thinking of you!
