Mom, we miss you so very much
On every Mother’s Day,
And not just then, but every minute,
Since you went away.You were the center of our lives
Before your soul passed on,
It’s just so hard for us to believe
That you are really gone.But we celebrate the life you lived
And all the things you gave us,
Our wonderful memories, Mom, of you
Are the things that will comfort and save us.Please think of us, as we think of you
With hearts so full of love,
We’re looking up at you, sweet Mom,
As you look at us from above.

Happy 75th b day mom i can't believe it's been almost seven years we all love & miss you.
Love from the whole family.
x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0xx0
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Mom it's Valentines day and also on that day we buried you. Sending love to you above.



Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth…

Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.

Love your family.

St. Anthony, when you prayed, your stolen book of prayers was given back to you. Pray now for all of us who have lost things precious and dear. Pray for all who have lost faith, hope or the friendship of God. Pray for us who have lost friends or relatives by death. Pray for all who have lost peace of mind or spirit. Pray that we may be given new hope, new faith, new love. Pray that lost things, needful and helpful to us, may be returned to our keeping. Or, if we must continue in our loss, pray that we may be given Christ’s comfort and peace. Amen.

Dear Mom.

HAPPY HOLIDAY'S up in Heaven i know you are looking upon all of us.



Though you are not here

wherever I go or whatever I do

I see your face in my mind

and I miss you so

I miss telling you everything

I miss showing you things

I miss everything we share

I don't like missing you

It is a very cold

and lonely feeling

I wish that I could be

with you right now

But since I can't be

with you right now

I will have to be content

just dreaming about

when we'll be together again But since I can't be

with you right now

I will have to be content

just dreaming about

when we will be together again.

MISS AND LOVE YOU,

Dear Mom.

Happy Mother's Day.

We miss you SOO much.

A vase of flowers in a window frame.

A house of gentle light amid dark leaves.

An ecstasy so sharp it feels like anguish,

The pull that makes our beeline an ellipse.

No transcendental morning's inspiration

So ravishes the things we never see.

We hear for all our lives a silent music

To which we dance unknowing through our time.



And even when we die, there is a beauty

Older than the cold December stars,

A part of us that waits behind the darkness

To take us once again into its arms.



Love you alway's,Cherrie.

Cherrie Rogers

March 26, 2005

Mom,

Happy Easter.

I don't recall the first time

you held me

or when I first heard your voice.

But from the first moment

you held me in your arms,

you made the most selfless choice.

You chose to change your busy life

so that my life could begin.

You were my shelter from the rain;

on you, I could depend.

You held my hand when I was afraid

and helped me to mend

my first broken heart.

You bandaged my wounds,

wiped my tears,

and kept me from falling apart.

You loved me without question,

no matter what I did.

You shaped me into

a confident adult

from such an awkward kid.

Even though you're not always

right beside me,

your love is matched by

no other.

And I thank God each day

for His greatest gift:

making you my mother.

MISS YOU SOO MUCH.

Cherrie. OXOXOXOXOXOOX

HI GRANDAMA,

Today is February 10, 2005 and I know I'm a day late, but, that's me always late on everything! (I guess it runs in the family) All the kids are fine. Unfortunately you never got to meet your grand daughter Cristina so I'll tell you a little about her. She is the sweetest of all the babies I've had. She doesn't get crabby too often and she is walking all on her own. Well, she gets crabby if I'm not around...maybe I've spoiled her too much! She'll be a year old on March 14th. A year already...we're all getting old! She doesn't have any teeth yet, hopefully they'll come soon because she HATES baby food and wants to eat what we're all eating. Your other grandson Anthony is a little doll and he looks just like Richie...which means he looks a lot like you because Richie looks a lot like you! I know you're watching out for all of us! We all love and miss you dearly!

Hello Mom,

Today would have been your 70th b day...I know you are celebrating in Heaven we all miss and LOVE you.

I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the

end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk

with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so

can their children after them." And the children said, "

You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have

gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as

she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they

said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother

like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence."



Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the

leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of

certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume

that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're

not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold

winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to

sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.



Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's

crystallized in every tear drop A mother shows every

emotion...happiness, sadness,

fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement,

joy, sorrow .... and all the while, hoping and praying you

will only know the good

feelings in life. She's the place you came from, your first

home, and she's the map you follow with every step you

take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your

first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not

time, not space...not even death!

We miss you very much.

Cherrie and the whole family

Dear Mom,

The year(2003) is comming to an end and 2004 will be here soon,I wanted to say Happy New Year up in Heaven and i know you will be looking down on us.You are going to be a great grama soon Laurie is having another girl in a few months and also Richie is going to be a dad.Here is a poem from me to you.

If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare an extra minute

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.



But just in case I might be wrong,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget.



Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.



So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day,



That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.



So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear



Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.



Love Ya! Mom

Happy Mother's Day!



Each Rose the heart remembers

With petals soft with dew

Love that enters softly

Is always in your view



Grapes of vintage gathered

So sweet upon the vine

Brings forth joy of sharing

The nectar of fine wine



we no longer share this pleasure

This joy that gives us life

Rose of simple pleasure

Drink of love's delight



My love for you is ageless

Just like the wine I pour

The rose a gift of loveliness

It's you that I adore



Treasures of life's bounty

Shared now with a Mist

Upon my heart forever

The love,that i miss.

Happy Mother's Day,Mom

Laurie on the 12. your great grandaughterNichole on the 29.

Hi Mom,



Here is a poem for you!



To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...



but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.



I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.



Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternity



Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.



Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.



That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."



It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.



As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.



I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.



There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."



God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.



And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.



And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.



God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.



Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.



But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.



But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.



It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...



that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,



then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,



knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,



just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.



When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;



I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.



And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.



This was sent to me by a friend and it was so beautifully written.

Cherrie...I miss you very much mom.
