Hi Carol! Just stopping by to say how much your thought of. Miss you baby girl. Its been 17yrs since you left and believe me, I think about you all the time. I still remember the day we brought you to the hospital. Little did anyone know that you would never go back to your house again. Instead, we watched you slowly degress and eventually were able to bring you back to Chicago. We stayed by Carrie and Danny. The 1st week, there were plenty of visitors and you were so happy to see them. All you kept telling me the entire time in the hospital was that you wanted to go home to see your family and friends. Well, we managed to do just that. The 2nd week we can see that you were getting weaker. It was in the early morning hour (6:00a.m.) I believe when Debbi came in and woke me up to tell me that ma passed. I was never so heartbroken. Babe, it was like I left with you. The void you left in my heart cannot be explained. This day and every day, you will always be with me. I miss you soo much babe, that words cannot express. Please watch over me. I am not the person you or anyone once knew. When I'm out, I'm a different person then when I'm at home. I don't want to dampen anyone's fun and show my real feelings, so I pretend that all is good. As I sit day to day, all I do is think about the fun times we had together. I wish everyday that I can have them back. I know thats impossible. But my mind still thinks that way. Carol, I love you so much. No one will ever take your place. Being alone is so depressing that I wish i never wake up. And, if I do, I hope that you are right there for me. Watch over us all sweet lady. We all miss you. All the kids, grand kids and of course the great ones. You have your hands full watching over all of us. I know you can do it, because that is what you always did. Don't stop now babe. This is when we really need you. Don't know how I got through this. My eyes are to watery to continue. Love you babe with all my heart. I think you already know that and I have proved it. Bye for now!!

Carol! Its has been 14 years since you left us. And you took a part of me with you. Not a day, and I mean not a day goes by without me thinking of you. I recall the day I took you in to the hospital and they told us you had stage 4 cancer. Since that day, I have not been the same. It was and still is a devastating experience. A big part of me was taken away. I don't wish it on anyone. No one sees whats happening on the inside. They only see what you show them on the outside. I sit and cry frequently. Wishing it was me instead of you. I hate the loneliness. No calls, no visits. Just sit and think. Alone. Just keep wondering, how much longer. Can't wait to be together again. Side by side as it used to be. I love and miss you so much Carol. Please watch over me and give me the strength to endure whats left. Its not been easy and I'm sure it will continue. I visit you often. Not knowing if you hear my prayers or not. Just visiting with you make me feel closer than I really am. I love you baby girl. Until we meet again. XOXOXO

Mom,
I was thinking about you today and decided to google your name on my iPad. For some reason, it brought me straight to your obituary page. When I opened up your guest book and read all of the posts, it brought back a major flood of emotions. Almost 13 years have passed and so many changes have affected all of us. Jay and I got married in 2012, Todd will be getting married to Brooke this year, Kristen is still in school studying to be a nurse, Katie will be graduating from high school next month and then she is off to Valparaiso University. You would be so proud of your grandchildren! They have truly grown to be respectable young adults! Please keep watching over all of us, especially Dad! He is still having a tough time with you being gone. We love and miss you dearly, thank you for sending the butterflies and the cardinal to my bird feeder, just another sign that I know youre still here.
Always in my heart and forever in my dreams!
Love,
Your Sunshine

Hi Care! Told you that I would probably write one more time. Nothing has changed at this time. Valentine Day is next monday. Another one that your not here. It will mark 3 years that Sam is gone. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I was sitting in the t.v. room by Carries, thinking that I should be out to breakfast with my valentine. A short time later, I got the call from your brother Mike. He said that they found Sam unresponsive in bed. Its really been a rough go. I never thought that loosing someone can be so devastating. Especially when its your spouse. Carol, I still don't sleep nights. During the day I cry. Yes, just about every day. Its hard being alone. I just keep asking myself(how much longer do I have to do this)? My chest is tight, my body shakes, I can't think right. I don't know what to do. I wish that I can meet someone that will fill that void. Someone who will take and comfort me as we used to do to each other. In other words, someone who is there all the time. Loneliness is a killer in itself. It just eats away at you. Emotionally and physically. I don't know which way to go, what to do. Carol, I know I've said it before. Please help! This is my last request. The books will be closed after today. Please find someone for me. No one will ever be you. I just need someone who can take your place. Someone who is as nice and understanding as you were. We had a great 38 years, I was so looking forward to many more. Never did I expect something like this to happen. Come to me Carol. Comfort me during my remaining time. I miss you, I love you, I need you. Take me under your wing and watch over me. Until then.........I love you baby girl. XOXOXO Your loving husband, Bob

Hi Baby Girl! Hey, thanks Jac for writing to your mother. I wish that your sisters would. I try to write as often as I could, but then I start crying and have to stop. We only have til the 9th of next month. Then I'm closing the book. I'm the only one that writes to mom, and so I think that this is it. I am not going to extend again. I try to talk to her all the time. As you said, she doesn't seem to be there any more. Well, welcome to my world, as she has never been there when I talk to her. My days are getting as bad as my nights. I don't know what the future brings, but one thing I do know is that it doesn't look too good. No improvement in sight. When I look at the past from the time this all came down, that is all I see. I don't see any future. No love, no happiness, no feeling, no nothing. Don't even look forward to the next day. Sad to say, but life is not the same. Anyway, I will probably give it one more shot before the books are closed. Until then, Love All my kids, and Carol, you know I love you. Miss my baby soo much. XOXOXO, Bob

Hi Mommy,
I know I never write in here because I usually talk out loud to you and hope you are listening, also because I been lying to myself for 3 years now. I keep telling myself that you are just home in Vegas and I refuse to believe that you are really gone forever. This past holiday season (from your birthday, thanksgiving, christmas etc..) was the worst for me, because it hit me really hard about you not being here to enjoy it with us. Well it hits me all the time throughout the year, and I think you may see me constantly crying for you. I thought about all the memories and fun we had growing up and decorating together. Secretly laughing at dad when he would get soooo frustrated stringing up the damn lights. Christmas Eve at Nani and Papas and then Christmas day by you and dad. We had so much fun and such a great family. Filled with laughter, cheer, and LOVE. Since you have been gone, the family is just not the same. You really were the glue. I try to step up and get the family together and do things that I know you would want us to, but it just dont work out usually. Also, since you been gone, I got remarried, his name is Scot, and you would get along great, I also had a baby boy, his name is Robert Jeffery, he is the cutest little thing ever. But what a little terror right now in these terrible 2's. (And I know ur laughing at me going through this)But I know you knew that because you told be in the hospital that you couldnt wait to see my new baby. We thought you were crazy but apparently you werent. Also, the psychic medium I saw, told me that you were bragging about how you were so excited to be the first to hold him. I think that was when he came out and wasnt breathing and his heart stopped because the cord choked him. Thank you mom for saving him. As soon as I heard that little cry, I knew his angel was there protecting him. I still wish u were HERE to meet him and play with him and sing to him. Sometimes I think I hear you singing oldies but maybe its just the memories in my head. I dont feel you around anymore like I used to. Where are you??? I wish all the time to turn back time and catch your sickness before it got so bad, then maybe we could have saved you and you would still be here with us. I wanna pick up the phone to talk to you and ask your advice. Or drive over to see you for a visit and some coffee. I could always tell you everything and anything and I really wish I could talk to you right now. Oh Mom, I went back to school and I am getting my associates degree. I graduate in a year. I think you would have been proud of me. I know dad is proud. Oh mom, I am really worried about dad and I hate seeing him so depressed all the time, and angry alot. I would like to convince him to meet with Moriah the medium, so you can come through to talk to him and tell him what he needs to hear from you. Maybe it will help him have some closure and live the rest of his time here better. Taylor is getting so big and becoming a little woman, you would be proud of her too, all straight A's. However going through this pre teen stuff is driving me crazy. Another thing I wish I could talk to you about. I try to play oldies to honor your memory and sing and dance to them like you always did.... Continue watching over us, I love and miss you so much Mom!!! Why did u have to leave us???? Wish you were still here... Your really "abandoned daughter" Jacki xoxoxo
January 1, 2011
Hi Hon! Here it is another year gone by. A NEW YEAR. Well,I'm sure that this year will be just as lousy as the past 3yrs 4 months have been. Feelings are repetative. Nothing has changed and I don't expect anything less for the coming year. No initiative, no incentive, no motivation to do anything. Life is just a drag. I always wish, hope, pray that something will happen. Something that will give me a boost. I hate being alone Carol. Day in, day out. Go to bed alone, wake up alone. Go places alone. Why can't I find someone to fill that void. That giant black hole that you left. No one will ever be you Carol. Miss all that there is about you. However, I can sure use someone. The New Year came in and last night I was home alone. Calls came in "Happy New Year!".....yea, yea, yea. Big deal. Another year in isolation to look forward to. Oh well, no use going on. I love you baby girl. If only we can turn back time. I miss you soo much. Watch over me Carol. XOXOXO Love, Bob
December 25, 2010
Hi Carol! Here it is, your favorite holiday and your not here. Another one alone for me. I hate it Carol, simply hate it. I thought everything was suppose to get easier. ITS NOT! I don't know how much more I can go through. Came to the cemetary to see you. Don't know why, but I just didn't feel any connection. Did you totally forget about me? I never hear from you. Carol why do I feel so alone? Every single day that goes by becomes harder and harder. I can't wait to go to bed at night in hopes of not waking up. Theres nothing here. I'm so tired of the loneliness, the depression, the feeling of not being a part of. Carol, I don't know what to do any more. No one can ever imagine what happens to someone when a loved one is taken away. Its a feeling deep inside that has no meaningful explanation. I know I can never have you back. So what then do I do? Not having someone is such a terrible feeling. I went by Carries last night with the rest of the family. Tony and Karla included. They are family. But looking around and seeing everyone so happy and cheerful and having a great time, just seemed to make me more depressed. Not having you there to sit by me to open presents and eat and drink and tell jokes and just simply be together and have fun. Its very hard Carol. I love and miss you soo much Carol. The longer I sit here and try to reach out and express myself, the more I cry. Everyday Carol, I cry. Every day. No one knows the feeling of emptiness. Death causes such a void, that there is nothing that can fill it. Time does not seem to be helping. Can you or should I say will you do something for me. Help me baby girl. They say that our loved ones always watch over us. Well? Watch over me my angel. Just like the angel lapel pin I used to wear when I was working. Now your that angel on my shoulder. Make my shoulders hurt. Make them ache so badly that I know its you. I'll gladly carry you around, just as long as I know that you are with me. I have to go now Carol. Can't see anymore. Until the next time. LOVE you, MISS you, WANT you, NEED you. XOXOXO Love, Bob

Carol,
Happy Birthday, You know I wouldn't forget your Birthday. I miss you more then ever. Wish you could still be here for the holidays. Holidays are just not the same as they use to be, too many people missing out of our lives, and they are not HAPPY holidays any more. I didn't know it could hurt so much when the people you love, leave. Miss you, Love you
November 26, 2010
Hi Hon! Happy Birthday! Went by Jacki yesterday for Thanksgiving. All the girls were there with there families. She did a real good job. You would have been proud of her. I will be coming to the cemetary today. Not much to say accept that I miss you. Life,(if you want to call it that) is not the same without you here. It is hard for me to function. I have no motivation to do, say or go anywhere. Just not that happy person that I used to be. The empty feeling is soo hard to get used to. Can't explain it. My body does not feel the same as it did when you were here. This tenseness and tightening is just beyond belief. Like I said, hard to explain. Carol, I don't know how anyone can cope with the loss of a loved one. I keep waiting for you to come back home. Reach out to me. I can't bring myself to come to the terms that you are not coming back to me. Loneliness is so scary. Can't you do something? Please Carol help me to get going. Get through this. Reach out to me. Send someone to me that will ease what I'm going through. If I can't have you, get someone to fill the void. I don't want to live the rest of my life alone. Why is that so difficult for you to do? I would do it for you if roles were reversed. Everyone needs someone, and I need you. Reach out to me. Perhaps today when I'm at the cemetary. Let it start to snow. I know how you loved when it snowed on your birthday. I don't know what else to say Carol. I've been repeating myself and asking over and over the same thing. You have a great birthday today baby girl. I love and miss you very very much. Reach out to me Carol. I'm waiting. Love, Bob
November 25, 2010
Hi Hon! Happy Thanksgiving! Going by Jacki and Scott today. Whole family will be there. I'll be thinking of you as I always do. Miss you soo much Carol. 3 years and I still cry just about everyday. People say to me "you got to move on". Might be easy for them to say or maybe even do. But I can't! Its so hard being alone. Especially now with the holidays, and your birthday coming up. Your favorite time of the year. Hey guess what? Its suppose to snow this year on your birthday. (trying to laugh) Debbi, Jay and the kids wanted to come over and put up the tree and decorations. I told them absolutely NOT. Its too depressing. No one understands. There's no one here with me to appreciate a tree and decorations. Your not here. I put a little tree on the fireplace mantle for you. I feel everyday that you just walked out, and that you will be home soon.I look out the window every time I hear a car door close. Thinking its you. Sounds stupid, but I'm sorry Carol, thats how I feel. I just can't seem to get over the fact that you LEFT me. The void that you left is unexplainable. No one knows. I can't see anymore. My eyes are too watery. I will be at the cemetary tomorrow to see you for your birthday. Love you Carol, very very much. Please love me and come to me sometime. I won't be scared. I just want to see you again. Miss you Baby girl! XOXOXO Bob
August 25, 2010
Hi Hon! Good Morning! Well,its 3 years today that you left us. 6:00 a.m. This morning, I was up at that time. Wish that I could have been up 3 years ago when you decided to take your last breath. Nothing has changed. Feelings are pretty much the same. It seems like yesterday that this all happened. I'll be coming down to the cemetary today. Nothing planned, except to be with you. What do you want to talk about? Don't you think its time? You have yet to come to me. I feel like you couldn't wait to leave so that you didn't have to talk to me anymore. I miss you Carol. So you see thats why I keep trying to communicate with you. I just need some guidance from you. I need to know that what I'm doing, what I'm going thru, whats on my mind is O.K. Trying to move forward has been a real job for me. Not quite sure what to do. I still feel lost and unaccounted for. I look around me and see people soo happy, and say to myself why can't I be happy? I remember when I used to be. You know when that was? Thats right babe, when we were together. So why can't we be together? Why can't you come to me, talk to me, be with me? Please Carol, give me some indication that I am reaching you. Give me that comfort that I am trying to get. I can't seem to get it without knowing that you are with me. Carol, I know that we had our ups and downs. All marriages do. We were together for 38 years. We were bound to have some. Please don't hold anything against me. I love you Carol. Always will. I miss you so much, and it hurts me deeply when their is no communication. You know that it was something we always had. Good or bad, we always communicated. And we always kissed goodnight. I miss all that Carol. Can't you see that I need that? I would love to have it all again. Is that asking too much? I hope not. Please give me your blessing. Let me know that you are with me. Love you baby girl. Always have, always will. Bob XOXOXO
August 10, 2010
Hi Hon! Its 3 years ago today that I brought you home. Family and friends waiting for us. You had this smile on your face. One of enjoyment. A sense of fullfilment. Appreciation. Even though you were in pain. You had just accomplished the first of your wishes. Who knew at that time that you would only be around for just 2 weeks. The first of which was non stop visitation. Everyone coming to see you. You recognized and were able to talk to most of them. It wasn't long after, that you started to drift away from us. In and out of sleep. Shorter conversation time. It was rough Carol. Watching / knowing that the time was getting near. We didn't want you to leave us. You were the glue that kept our family together. I sure wish that you were still here. Its not the same anymore. No need to explain. I'm sure you know. Then came your second wish. At 0600 on the 25th, you decided that it was time. You left us. Leaving many broken hearts. Lots of tears. And not to mention the feeling of EMPTINESS. Yes Carol, it was the last time that any of us would be able to hold you and kiss you and laugh with you and enjoy you being a part of us... Our family. Now, you are not a part of us and that glue has become watered down. Its not the same anymore. Its just NOT THE SAME. Why is it that things like this happen after the loss of a loved one? I don't know either. But in any case, I LOVE you Carol. I MISS you Carol. And foremost, I need you to get that glue back to us Carol. Watch over us all. We need the Carol that once was US. Love you baby girl. Bob, XOXOXO
July 17, 2010
Hi Hon! Well, 3years ago today. That dreadful day. The day I brought you in to the hospital for pneumonia and we were told that you had stage 4 cancer. Wow! You talk about being hit hard. I think I'm still in a fog over hearing that. Care, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Looking at your pictures, remembering all we had and did. Remembering the good times and the bad. ALL memories of some sort. The only memory that I would like to erase, is the one on July 17th, 2007. Debbi and her family were visiting us and at the time I took you in, they were out sightseeing. I regretted to tell them what we had just discovered. I just can't seem to get that day out of my mind. I called Shirl, and her and Sam came to the hospital. When I had filled them in as to what the doctors said, they were also in awe. It was a total nightmare for everyone. Who would have thought that you would never be able to go home again. Back to our house in Henderson. The only home that I was able to take you, was back home to Chicago, where we waited for you to be taken from us. I'm so glad Care that you were able to see our family and friends, before lapsing away. It was your wish while you were in the hospital. I'm glad that you worked with me in being able to grant your wish. Your final wish. Carol I love you soo much. Man, I wish my wishes were granted at this time. All I would like is for us to be together one final time. I wanna be able to take you in my arms one last time. I miss you baby girl. I miss you bad. Its not the same here. Alone, lost, depressed, scared to name a few. Can't wait for my time Care. Not soon enough. Love you, Bob XOXOXO

Hi Hon! A bummer day yesterday and today is not any better. Its been that way. Some days seem to go by without a glitch and yet others just set me back. Way back. I soo miss you and your love and everything. I am so lonely and lost and just cannot seem to wanna go on. It is extremely difficult for me to be happy any more. I don't know what to do. I hope my time is getting close cause I just can't do this. Carol come for me, PLEASE. I hate my life this way. No incentive, no motivation. Just nothing to look forward to. I look around and see all our friends still together. Growing old together. Having fun and enjoying each other. And yet, here I am with nobody. Why? Why Carol did this have to happen? Its just not right. No one should have to go thru this. I need you Carol. I need your help. I know that I will never see you again. That I know for sure. Its just that being alone is so depressing. Fathers day is coming up and I am not looking forward to it. Holidays are not the same anymore. My life is not the same anymore. I feel like I'm in another world. Like a stray animal, wandering about aimlessly. Its terrible Carol, just terrible. I love and miss you baby girl. XOXOXO

Happy Mother's Day Carol, Wish you were here, you were a great Mother, and I know your kids and Bob are missing you, as always. I also miss you and our phone calls. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Miss you, Love you
May 9, 2010
Hi Hon! Happy Mothers Day! I will be at the cemetary later this morning. I love and miss you very much. There isn't a day that goes bye, that I don't think about you. I always look at your pictures and think about us. The things we did, the time we shared. I wish that I can turn back the clock to relive those times. Life sure changes when the person you love, the person you thought you would spend the rest of your life with, is suddenly gone. It leaves a void that can never be filled. Watch over me babe. Help me to carry on whats left for me here. Every day is a rough one. The emptiness is what gets to me. You have a great day, and I will see you in a little while. Miss you and love you.
Bob

Hi Hon! Happy anniversary. 41yrs today. Wow! Sure wish that you were here to celebrate. Instead, I'm sitting here alone as usual. Recuperating from foot surgery. Alone as usual. Trying to communicate with you, but......alone as usual. Carol, it just seems that there is no communication. It doesn't have to be that way, does it? Then why is it that you don't try to reach out for me. I cannot get my feelings out to you, and know that you are hearing me. ANNIVERSARY. That means a connection of some sort. In our case, 41 years of marriage. Again, wow! How much different it would be / and mean, if you were here. Its just words now. No way to express or show how I truely feel. Thats why communication means soo much. Whether two people are apart or still together, communication plays a big part. Thats why it bothers me that there is no communication. Not any more. There always was, but not any more. Nothing will ever be as it was. Not any more. I love and miss you soo much Carol. Every passing day I miss your presence. No one to fill in for you. To help me get through all this. Its very lonely and depressing. Life at this point to me, is useless. You see Carol, I'm lost without you. All I ask is for you to help me. Help me to get through this state I'm in. Please give me direction. Point me in the right direction to get through the remaining years. I don't know what to do. I don't know how long it will be, but again I don't care either. I'm hoping it goes quick. Maybe as fast as the 41years that we had together went by. Until next time, you will always be in my heart and on my mind. Love you and miss you,
Bob
February 14, 2010
Hi Hon! Good morning and HAPPY VALENTINE DAY! Another special day without you. For us this was a special day. For lots of others, just another day. When two people love and respect each other as we did, all days are special. I just wish that you were still here to celebrate. All these special days are just meaningless to me now. All I could do is sit here and remind you how things were. I'm sure you already know. Memories, thats all they are. Nothing to celebrate, no one to celebrate with. Horrible Carol, just horrible. Its not easy waiting for the last day to get here. Everyday is just as lousy as the past one. Everyday looking to another lousy day. If HE knows everything that is going on and sees how things are, then why isn't something being done about it? How / why is he allowing this to happen? I feel like a piece of fruit thats been sitting around and nobody wants. I wish that I could get rid of this feeling of being plugged in so to speak. My insides are so jittery and tight, that I feel that I am plugged in. The tenseness and uneasiness are getting so that I am not in the mood to do anything. I try to push myself to move forward, but I feel that I am spinning my wheels. I just can't seem to get going. Enough said about the old B.S. I just wish that you or someone, there or here, would help me get going. If thats not possible, or going to happen, then please get me out of here. Hurry. I'm tired of just existing. Wasting everyday thats left. Nothing to look forward to. Enjoy your day sweetheart. Until we meet again, I love and miss you very much.

Carol, I changed my mind and decided to keep the guest book open another year. It was a small price to pay for the connection to you. It gives me an avenue of escape. A time for me to gather my thoughts and talk to you. Not knowing for sure if you in fact are hearing or seeing what I'm doing, I still feel better. Thanks Carol. Just be there for me. PLEASE! Love you and miss you.

Hi Hon!
I kept the book open a little longer, allowing anyone who wanted to say something that didn't. Spent super bowl by Jacki this year. Everything was nice. Thought of you all day. I remember the super bowls that we had in Vegas. I wish that you were still here to carry that on. I know that you really enjoyed hosting it. Then again, you enjoyed hosting all of our get togethers. I really and truly miss you Carol. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and the times we shared together. Its a rotten shame that this had to happen to you. When you left, a part of me left too. I still am not that person I used to be. I try to have fun, but its hard. There are times that I wish I had left with you. I hate being here and feeling like this. Every day is a repeat of the previous one. Emptiness, loneliness, depressed, scared, and a whole lot more. No one knows how hard it is. How can anyone call this life? Its existing thats all. Carol, I don't know how much more time I have, but I hope it goes fast. I don't know if I will ever meet anyone that will fill the void, but I do know that if anyone should come along, she will not fill your shoes. You were the greatest baby girl and I love you soo much. I miss you, want you and need you. This will be my last writing. I just want you to know that we all miss you. Your friends and family miss your fun, laughter and presence. They say that the deceased are still with us in spirit. Again, I don't believe this. I never had any indication of it otherwise. I wish that you were here, so that maybe I would feel differently. I am simply putting this chapter behind me and knowing full well, that it had to be a dream. A dream that I loved and cherished. I was always happy and carefree. Felt safe, wanted and loved. Today, I am not that person. It sucks to feel like this. Carol, if the world should ever start over, I sure wish that we can too. Thanks for all you ever done. You had the biggest heart and always seen to it that everyone was happy. You always put every one else first. You were the greatest and I miss all that. Hon, please, and I emphasize, please, watch over me and give me the strengh and confidence that I need to get me through this. Till we meet again (I hope we do!), I will always love you forever.

Hi Babe!
Well,2010 is here! A new year is starting. I'm really not too excited about seeing whats in store for this year. If this past year is any indication of what to expect, then I'm not looking forward to it. Every day is suppose to get better. Well, its NOT. One more month to keep the guest book. I'm not quite sure at this point if there will be another writing. Maybe. I never know what I'm going to do until that day. Its not that I don't have the desire to write, or even the ambition. Its because there is nothing new. Its been the same old stuff since the first letter. No change in me. Don't feel any better. Its like a broken record. Who needs to hear the same thing over and over and over again. I really don't think that life will get any better. I just can't wait for my time to be up. Wish that it would get here. That way I can be with you. In the ground at least. Next to you, and be happy again. I truly beleive that there is nothing more after that. Carol, life really sucks when the person you really love and have been with for so many years, is swiftly taken away. The feeling that remains within us is beyond explainability. I miss you sooo much. I just don't know how people do it. Its like living in a bubble. In another world so to speak. Watching people around you laughing and having a good time. Oh so happy. Those feelings are lost never to be found again. Only memories. Which still don't change those inner feelings. Sadness, loneliness, depressed, angry, to name a few. No need to continue. This is the new year, and its suppose to be better. ????????? No need to start the new year this way. I'll just have to sit tight and try and have a positive attitude. Work with me on this will ya? You were always the one with the positive attitude and harped on me to do the same. Well, push me some more. Love you baby girl. Love you always and forever,
Bob

Hi Hon!
Christmas! No merry in my Christmas. Your not here. Not the same without you baby girl. Your the one that made this holiday what it suppose to be. Family, friends, laughter, cheer. This is suppose to get easier for me. Well, its not. It seems to be getting worse. Everything we wanted to do by moving back, just does not seem to be working. All our plans and that. Hon, I wish I was with you. I don't want to be here. Nothing in it for me anymore. Nothing to look forward to. Every day is just as bad as the day before. Its so lonely & depressing. Carol, you gotta do something. Your the one who always had the positive attitude. Help me take over where/when you left......off. Please! I just want to be happy again. I'm lost without you. Are you listening? Love & miss ya always,
Bob

Hi Hon!
Just a note to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAPPY THANKSGIVING. The Big 60! Wow. Sure wish that you were still with us to celebrate. Nothing happy here anymore. Nothing to be happy about. Every day is just as boring, alone, lost, depressing and plain lousy as its been the past 27 months. Nothing's changed. Can't wait till its over. What a waste of time. This isn't living, its existing. Nothing to look forward to. It just amazes me how a loss can change a person,and a family. I have no incentive, no motivation, no nothing anymore. The saying goes that our loved ones that have passed are watching over us. They are there at every moment. Well, I fail to believe that. You see if it was true, then I wouldn't be going through what I am. They say that you would want me to be happy, and move on. Then why can't I do it. Let me answer that. You are not watching over me, thats why. Its all a myth. No proof. We are led to believe that we are being watched over. So you see Carol, thats why the past 27 months have been the way they are. I have come to believe that I just have to go day to day to day and continue to be this way until my time is up. We all have a purpose here. Thats what they say. Mine? Well, its to be miserable. Nothing to look forward to, no indication of it getting any better.Happy life. Whats left of it????? All the notes and prayers to you just aren't working. But, I will continue to try and talk to you. I will try and hope that one day, some day, you WILL help me. You see Carol, I do still need you.The dead are suppose to have more power than the living. Use your power then and HELP ME.I will however always love you. I miss you deeply. Have a great day and enjoy.I love you baby girl.

Hi Mom,
I hope you enjoyed our time together yesterday - the laughs, the tears, talking about the past, reading that beautiful poem from Chicken Soup for the Soul and you even sent that little cricket to come and "sing" to us while we were there visiting. I know you were there because that cricket was the sign of all the laughs we had with those crazy critters attacking me in Vegas and you would laugh at me and tell me to come and sit outside with you because our "friends" were out there. Well, you sent that little friend and he/she hung out directly under YOUR name on the head stone... coinsidence some might say, but I definitely say that it was fate. Your way of showing that you were there. It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years already and I would like to thank you for sending an angel to me, I honestly would not have made it this far without his moral support and guidance. I hope you enjoy your yellow roses, they were cut off of the rose bush I planted for you. I love you and miss you more and more with each passing day. See you in my dreams !!
Love always,
Your Sunshine !!!

Carol,
What can I say, it has been 2 years now, and it still doesn't seem real. Within the last 2 years, life has changed for a lot of us here. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you, love you, and I will never forget that you were a big part of my life.
Love you
August 25, 2009
Hi Carol,
Its 2 years since you left us. I think back and try to remember only the good times we had. Bob is still struggling and I know that nothing I can say can ease his pain. I still talk to you like you're here with me-how we used to laugh and joke together. I miss you terribly, but know that your suffering is over. I know you are watching over all of us. Until I see you again, love you much.

Hi Hon!
2 years today! At 6:00 a.m. I was up way before that. I should have been up at that time 2 years ago, to be with you when you took your last breath. But nooo, Debbi had to come in and wake me to tell me that you had passed. Thanks for not giving me those last few moments. It would have been nice you know. I will be coming to the cemetary to be with you today. We have alot to talk about. I will be waiting for a response. There are things that I need answers to. Don't ignore me. I will save them for later. I need u Carol, badly, I need your help, do you hear me? Probably not. Anyway, until then, love you and miss you.
Bob
August 23, 2009
Hi Hon!
Here it is gojng on two years since you've left us. August 25th 2007. I can still recall the day that I took you into the hospital. It was July 17th 2007. From that day forward, its been nothing but hell. I still can't get it out of my mind. I still cannot understand what I was being told. What the doctors were telling me. The sequence of events are replayed over and over. I still tremble at the thought of what we both went through. I knew you were scared, and so was I. It felt like a dream. Everything happened way too fast. I wish that I could get back at least the last five years. I miss you soo much hon. Why is it that when things like this happen, we are totally helpless? Nothing that I do seems to change the way I feel. I can't seem to get into gear. I keep reflecting on the life we had and the things we've done. I don't believe that I will ever feel the way I used to when we were a part of each other. Carol, they say that everything is done for a reason. I sure wish I new the reason that you were taken away from us. Sometimes I feel that your presence is with me but I later question it, because you never respond. When I used to pray, they were never answered. I really have nothing proof positive about what people say about our loved ones that have passed. I sure wish / hope that sometime I will find /see something that will change my thoughts. I need you Carol. I need you bad. Trying to move on without you is somewhat of an impossible task. I need you to a least help me move on. I know that you will never come back and I understand it. I will never see you again. I don't accept it, but I understand it. Its just that being alone is very difficult. Lost and alone for a lack of better words. I remember our growing up and the fun things we did, the good times we shared and the happiness we had. Its all gone Carol. All gone now. I now know what my father went through when my mother passed away. I didn't quite understand fully then, but now I do. Having gone through it, I do. People will say that they understand what I'm going through. No they don't. Unless they lost a spouse, they don't know. Although this writing may be the last, my thoughts will not be. The guest book may have its final chapter closed, but the chapter in my life with you will not be. I love you and miss you Carol. Please understand this and forgive me for any thing that I've ever done to hurt you. Nothing I can ever say or do will bring you back, but just knowing that your with me will help ease the pain. Come to me, take me or do something Carol. Give me some sign that you do hear me and that you are watching over me. Rest assured I will continue to look for those signs. Help me to find someone that can take me through the rest of my life as you did up to ..... With the love and happiness you gave to me. I will always remember you. Love you always and forever,
Bob

May 10, 2009
Good morning Hon! Happy Mothers Day ! Another holiday that your not with us and its not the same. I'll be at the cemetary later. We have a lot to talk about. Still can't get goin. When I think I'm starting to move ahead, something always comes up to push me back. My emotions are still running high. Can't seem to change that yet. Hopefully, one day I will be able to move forward. You just don't know how hard it is for me. It has been 21 months since you left us and again, it seems like it was yesterday. I walk around OUR house talking to myself. Of course no one answers. I just can't help to think that no one is listening. All conversation has fallen on deaf ears. My internal parts still don't feel right. I know that somewhere, when you left, a part of me left too. Its very hard to explain this feeling that I have. I am sure that one day it will get better. I miss you soo much hon, and I can't help to wish that I would have left with you. Anyway, you have a great Mothers Day, as I know that you would have if you were here. Love you very much. Always and forever,
Bob

Hi Hon! Happy EASTER! Here it is, another holiday without you. I doesn't seem to get any easier. Why is that? Its suppose to get better in time. How much time? Its been 20 months and it seems like it was yesterday. I still think about the day that I brought you in to the hospital. July 17th. Its been a roller coaster ride (emotionally) since then. I just can't seem to understand why it went down the way it did. Everything happened soo fast. I / we didn't have time to realize what was happening in order to try and do something about it. Or could we have? I was in this trance so to speak, and I'm still in it. I just could not accept what was happening. I ask myself, why? I don't ask anyone else, cause no one else knows, or some just don't answer. Its no one here, if you know what I mean. Everything is a mystery and I believe it will remain. It will just go unanswered. Anyway, the girls and their families will all be here for the holiday. I don't know about them, but I will have a rough time as always. Thats just the way it is. You take care. I'm not going to ask you to watch over us, cause I know its not true. I just don't believe. Until next time, I love you and miss you very very much as the days go by. Always and forever yours,
Bob
April 3, 2009
Carol, now I'm convinced that there is no communication between us and the so called world beyond. Why? you ask. Well thats because if you did see whats going on here, you wouldn't allow it to happen. I don't need to go into any explanation. Its happening and I'm not happy. If you can't or won't do anything about it, then I will just have to take care of it myself, my way. My life is just beyond, and I'm not sure what to do. Nothing that I do or have been doing makes a difference. I just don't know whats going on. Please do something. If you can't, or won't, then send someone who will. Love ya forever.

Hi Babe !...........HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, or so it should be. 40 years today hon. Spent several hours at the cemetary. Sure hope you heard what I was talking to you about. People say that the departed can hear what we say.????? Not sure I believe it though. Nothing so far since your passing has convinced me otherwise. I try to communicate with the family, and I get no response. That is why I don't believe that there is any communication. Anyway, I write this to put my thoughts on paper. They say that it makes you feel better. Yea O. K., whatever. Things are still the same here. Nothing different. Feelings are the same. We should have been away this weekend, celebrating our anniversary. Instead, I did nothing but sit and think. This is what my life has come to be. Just sitting around and thinking. I just wish I knew when all this would end. The loneliness, the boredom, the emptiness. If this is any indication of what the rest of my life is going to be, then I hope it ends soon. This is not life. They say everyone has a purpose here. Your gone, so whats my purpose? To make others as miserable as I am? The joy is gone, the happiness is gone, the desire is gone. Whats left? I miss you very much baby girl. More than you or anyone can imagine. Life is not the same without you. Going places by myself just doesn't seem right. You and I were suppose to be together forever. Live together, die together. Leaving me behind just wasn't right. You left without directions, and now I'm lost. Can someone reach out to me and give me some guidance? This new world that I'm living in, is just not working. Happy Anniversary to you, if your listening. Love you,
Bob

Hi Hon! Happy Valentine Day. Just sitting here on another Valentine Day thinking about where WE should be and what you and I should be doing. Spending this day together as we always did. Breakfast, a nice dinner and a nice evening together. Maybe even going to the casino together. Huh? Remember that? Now, its breakfast alone, dinner alone, and an evening alone. No flowers to be sent, no card to be given. Everything is in the singular or negative. I really miss you baby girl. Especially on days like today. I sent Sam a little note, and wished him a Happy Birthday. There is really nothing much to say, as nothing much is really happening. Feelings are the same. As I said to Sam. If you two can get together and make contact with us to let us know that everything will be all right, that would be reassuring. As it is right now, there are no indications of ever coming out of this state of mind. Nothing works, nothing helps. Its very depressing. Please watch over me hon, and give me the strength to get thru this. A part of me left when you left, and therefore hon, I don't have that strength to get thru this by myself. So you see, I need your help and I need it now. I Love you baby girl. Your Valentine............always,
Shirl

Sis,
Just thinking of you the last few days, and being depressed. You were always there for me to talk to, but since your not here, I need to write down my feelings. Bob and I are having a rough time getting use to you and Sam being gone. Today is Sam's birhday, and you were always the first to call or come over for his birthday. I cannot believe that you both left. I mss you and I know Bob is having a really rough time with you gone. I think a part of my heart broke when you left, and the rest broke when Sam left. Please know that I miss you and love you, and you will never be forgotten.

I miss you like you will never know, all my thoughts are of the good times we 4 spent together, now suddenly we are not 4 anymore. All our lives changed, and I might add not for the better. These were suppose to be the good years, growing old together, having fun. what happened? You both left. We were suppose to have more time together to enjoy life. Life is not easy, especially when you have nothing to look forward to. I am glad you are not suffering any more, but I sure wish you were here, and everything was ok. If only we can turn the clock back, wouldn't that be great. but I guess we have to make the best of our time, with whatever we have left. I love you sis, take care.

Hi Hon ! Its me again, you know, Bob. I didn't forget you. I will never forget you. I'm the guy you left for a better man. HIM. Remember? I had to re-open the guest book in order for me to tell you whats going on. I didn't get a chance to tell you before the book ended in August, because I ended up in the hospital. I was in from the 23rd to the 25th of August. After taking numerous tests, it was determined that I had vertigo. ????? A combination of everything. Including the stress I'm under. Yea, I didn't know what it was either, but it sure as heck scared me. Anyway baby girl, here it is, a new year. 18 months have gone by since you left us and you know what? Nothing has changed. I still feel terrible. Depressed, emotional, empty, lost, alone, and just not myself. I still see the Doctor and thats not working. I just don't know what to do anymore. I try to get out as suggested, but I just don't feel comfortable. Out of place might be a better word. Such a horrible feeling. I find myself drifting in thought frequently, no matter what I'm doing or where I'm at. I pace the floors of OUR house and wonder -what I'm I doing here? I used to pray and have an open mind, but all thats lost. I don't have anything to show me otherwise. All my conversations seem to fall on deaf ears. HE doesn't even reach out to me. I even tried ma, dad, & Georgie, but no, everyone is either too busy or just don't hear me. Or don't want to. I don't know. I may seem bitter hon, its only beacuse thats the way I've come to be. I'm not the person you used to know. I feel that my body is being controlled by another means in which I have no control. Its very scary. Words alone cannot express the feelings within. I'm getting alittle foggy right now. My eyes keep tearing up, and I'm sorry that I can't continue. Please Carol, if you do know whats going on and can see or hear me, please do something. Show me that I'm still a part of you. You are of me. Help me get out of this mood and find me someone that will keep me as happy as you used to. I love you baby girl. Until next time, bye for now.........Oh, you have a new grand baby. He's soo cute. Little Bobby. I'm sorry, you probably already know.

Hi my sister,
Tomorrow will be 1 year that you left us. I cannot believe it has been a year. I want you to know I think of you all the time and the good times we all had. Life is not fair, you had so much to look forward to, you went too young and too soon. please know I love you with all my heart, and miss you. If only we can all turn the clock back, and all be together again. I love you and miss you

Hi Carol,
It will be a year Monday that you left us. I know that is not what you wanted, but I guess God needed you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of all the plans we made. I miss you so much. You are my sister and I talk to you every day. I don't know if you hear me...at first I thought you did, but now I just don't know. We talk to Bob often and I know he is having a hard time coping. I can't possibly know what he is going through..it has to be much more difficult for him. I only know what I feel and I feel a big empty hole in my heart where you were. I love you and miss you terribly. Gigi

Hi Mom,
It was one year ago yesterday that Tony and I came to pick you and Dad up from the airport. I remember it all too clearly and wish I could go back in time and relive that night with you. If only we knew then what we know now.... I miss you dearly with every passing day. I talked to Dad about a tattoo and since I am the only one out of all of us that doesn't have one, I decided to make my painful experience a memorable one. I am in the process of looking for one that I like but it will most likely be a precious moments angel holding a sunshine ~ that will be you holding me, Mom!! I talk to you everyday and I know that you are always with me trying to give me subtle little answers to my never ending questions. Please continue to look out for all of us as we continue to look out for one another. I love you and you are always in my dreams and forever in my heart!!!

Hi Hon, well its been one year ago since I brought you home from Vegas. Time sure flew by. Can't beleive it. Things are still the same. There isn't a day that goes by, that I don't think about everything that has happened. I ask.....WHY!, and of course, I can't get an answer. I miss you sooo much Carol. The emptiness has not left me. I still feel terrible. This wasn't suppose to happen. We were going to take up where we left off when we moved. The kids, grandkids, family and friends. Time was suppose to be spent with them as planned. HE changed those plans, and now everything that I'm trying to do, just doesn't seem to be right. Thats because your not here. I try talking to you, but I feel that you don't hear me. All faith has been lost in the process, and I don't know what to do. Time is suppose to heal everything. Yea right, not this. This wound is so open that there isn't anything large enough to cover it. Depression, helplessness and loneliness are just a few more injuries that have occured. No one knows nor will ever know what I am going through. Sure they say they know, but they don't. Too many years have been lost along with many memories. I'll try my love to do whats best. Can't make any promises though.......we never know whats in store for us. Love you baby girl.........watch over me if you will and help me to try and achieve whats best.....bye for now, your hubby,
May 11, 2008
Hi Hon! Well, another holiday here without you. And a major one at that. Yep, Mothers Day. Happy Mothers Day to you........You may not be my mother, but you are the mother to my children. I miss getting you a corsage and going to church together on this day. I love and miss you baby girl. Life sure is different without you. Still can't seem to get going. Don't know how long it generally takes, but I'm believing its gonna be awhile. Quite awhile. One does not understand how much is taken out of a person, when something as tragic as this happens. Being with someone every minute of the day, for so long, and then..........no more. For some, its easy to move on. God bless them. As for me, well, its just not that easy. I still have the rest of the family, and that means alot. I'm trying to be strong..........and, well, with the help of family and friends, hopefully all will work out. Keep watch over us honey........and don't give up on me. One day we can go over all this and try to make sense of it all. As for right now....? I don't have that answer. You save a spot up there for me, cause I'm gonna be with you again. I Love you Carol...........Bob
March 29, 2008
Hi Hon,
----- anniversary to you. Notice that their is no H A P P Y , in it? Thats because there is none. Nothing to be happy about. Your there, and I'm here. Whats that all about. This day should be our day, and you should be here to celebrate it with me. Nothing more for me to say. I love you and I miss you. No reason to go any further. Nothing will change the way I'm feeling. Love ya, Bob

JUST SO YOU KNOW I MISS YOU AS WELL AS YOUR FAMILY. FOR CHRISTMAS, SAM AND I FOUND THE CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS THAT YOU AND I MADE FOR THE 4 OF US. WELL THEY WENT ABOVE THE FIREPLACE AND SAM PUT 2 ROSES AND A BALLOON IN YOUR STOCKING, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT ANYTHING IN THEIR STOCKING. KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY,AND PLEASE KNOW, BOB AND I MISS BOTH OF YOU VERY MUCH, WE WILL TRY TO HELP EACH OTHER HERE, JUST TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER THERE. YOU NOW HAVE COMPANY CAROL, I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GO, BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. LOVE YOU
February 21, 2008
Hi Hon! I realize its been several months since I last wrote, but that doesn't mean that your not remembered. There is not a day that goes by that you are either in my prayers, or with me in my thoughts. Whether I'm going to church, shopping, visiting, riding around in circles, or at bed time you are there. (I hope!) You always were my co-pilot, and I should sure hope that you still are, no matter what I'm doing. I LOVE and MISS you soooo much, that words alone cannot say. I just wish that there was some way, some how, that we can be together again. Even for a little while. Just so that I can have the opportunity to make up for the things that I may have forgotten. (Either to do or say.) Every day that I am away from you seems to be just as hard as the day before. They say that it will take time. Only the Lord knows how much. I can only say that I'm trying my best and that I'm getting help from several people. Including family and friends. Honey, please watch over me (and the kids and grand kids). Love you lots, Bob

Hi Mom,
It was one year ago on October 24th, 2006 that you came to the bowling alley with me on Tuesday to watch me bowl my 618 series. Well, I know you were with me today because I heard you telling me to slow down and reach. You were with me every step of the way and helped me bowl a 632 series today. You're the angel on my shoulder and my bowling buddy. You're FOREVER in my dreams and FOREVER in my heart. I love you and MISS you greatly.
Love Always,

Bob, It's Jena (Don's daughter). My heart breaks reading your postings to Carol. I can tell you from experience of one "thing" that works...continue to ask Carol for help, specific help like "Carol, help me get to sleep, Carol, help me get through today, help me be active, help me reach out to others for help, help me accept help." Whatever you need, if you ask your deceased loved ones for help, they will answer. I'm sure my dad has told you about all I have lost and those deceased loved ones have helped me repeatedly. I'll pray for you also. Give yourself lots and lots of breaks, both physically and mentally but also don't expect yourself to get over this or function the way you used to any time soon, not any time soon. Hugs, Jena
October 22, 2007
Hi Hon! Its me again. Thinking of you everyday. I just can't get over it. I'm having a difficult time accepting this whole thing. Every time I look at your picture, I get a feeling of emptiness. Its just so hard to explain. You shared a lot with me over the years and we both got through it together. Now, I still need you to help me get through this...Love and miss you so much, Bob
October 22, 2007
Hi Hon! Thoughts of you are everyday. Having difficulty copeing. Its so hard to believe that something like this can happen.I keep praying that this is just a dream and when I wake up you will be there. I'm trying to keep the faith and go forward, but its just not working. Help me to get through this. You were always there for me, so please be there now. Love you always and forever, Bob

It's been 4 weeks since you left us and I was playing on Pogo just like we always did on a Saturday night. I was looking at your profile because it reminds me of all the times we chatted and played games and just caught each other up with what happened during the day. I MISS YOU and I wanted to say THANKS for helping me out with getting my badge for Phlinx. I never did understand that game. You're forever in my dreams and Forever in my HEART !! I LOVE YOU !!
Love,

Dear Bob and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Carol. Larry & I stopped in at Rosangles this past weekend to check on how Carol was doing, only to hear the very sad news from Danny. After talking to you and Carol earlier this summer, I got to thinking about the good old times. Times when you, Carol and I would be driving around in Bridgeport, just having fun. So remembering and talking about all the special memories you have of Carol, will always keep her with you. This is how I will always remember Carol, and she will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy,
Larry & Anna (Pietrafesa) Rowley

Dear Bob, Debbi, Carrie, Jackie and families... My dad, Don Fumarolo, told me about your mom being sick a few weeks ago. I am sad to say that my mom was the same age as your mom when she died of lung cancer in 1999. I was only 31 myself then and it has not been easy. It will be very tough to have your mom and beloved wife gone from this Earth. Know this. But knowing your family, you will continue to stay close and continue to make treasured family memories. I could not attend the services due to personal issues but my breaking heart is with you all. Sincerely, Jena (Fumarolo) Nylec

Hon, you may be gone but not forgotten. Too many memories we have shared over the past 38 years to be lost.I will continue to think about the good times we've had together. The Lord has decided that you have accomplished what he had put you here for. Now you must see that the rest us us do the same in order that we too can fulfill our job and become one again. I miss you already and always will. Love you...Bob

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres.
Love never fails.
To me this was Carol.
All she ever showed was love.
We will all miss you dearly and know that you are so very loved by everybody you have touched.
GOD MUST OF NEEDED AN ANGEL.
