My last memory of you is listening to Dean Martin in my Dad’ a car with you . We were on our way to a forest preserve near your home to take a hike . Now whenever I hear Dean Martin I think of you . Volaré ; I know you fly with the other angels every day .

My Dearest Doris
It has been two years now that you have left all of us that loved you. I constantly think of you many times a day every day. You constantly remain in my mind and heart. I truly miss you so much and still hear music that reminds me of you and I get teary eyed.
I go over and over the good times we had and the many laughs and can still see that gorgous smile of yours.
Well my darling Lushkee I will call it a night and while I try to sleep I will say a prayer for you and pray that you are in the best place ever. I will always think of you and love you forever. I know that most of what I have said is close to what I had written a year ago. But the facts are the same I miss you, and love you and the songs are still reminding me of you. That will never change.
This morning Cara called me because she was aware it was your two year anniversary and she spoke to me in a sad way because, I guess, she knew how I was feeling inside this morning. I reasured her that I was ok but sad. On that note I'm sure you have looked down upon her and have seen the two beautiful baby girls she has. I wish you could of been here to see them. Please do your best to look down on them and keep them safe.
Good light Lushkee and I will now say that prayer for you. With love H's & K's husbion Tom

Dear Dor,
It's now been 2 years since your transition and I wonder where in the universe your rearranged molecules and electrons are and what they're doing or how they're reconfigured. I wear your old boots when walking the dogs on icy surfaces and I swear they're protecting me from a nasty fall. I never want them to wear out as they make me feel close to you everyday in the winter-time. I painfully miss the corporeal you but take comfort from my memories and the spiritual you that I know lives in our shared love of nature. My love for you is sustaining and I will use it to help others. This, I know, would please you.
Love, Your big sis, Ruth Ann

Dear Dor, I am writing this to you on January 19, 2009 at 11:33 pm. - the exact time you made your transition - one year ago. During the past year I have missed you so much especially our long discussions about the idea that death is just a change of form and that a person will always be here until another change is made. Dor, you will always be here with me and I will always love you. Hopefully, when I make my transition we will have tea and talk once again about everything. Love you always, Your Sister Marilynn
