Hi mom....its Sept. 8th. and I'm getting married. You have been with me every step of the way and will always be. I could not do this without the love that I feel from you everyday. I miss you soooooo much. I love you.

Hi, Mom!
Just dropping in to say "Hi" and we miss you. Today is a "BIG" day for your little Margie. She marries the man of her dreams. Glenn is such a wonderful soulmate to her and will keep her safe and happy forever. I'll be thinking of you as she walks down the aisle with Dad on her arm knowing you are smiling from up above and surrounding them and all of us with you love. God bless you always and keep you in His care. Say "Hi" to my Mom for me when you see her and tell her how much I miss her and love her!
Love You,
Your "favorite" daughter-in-law!
Kathy King

P.S. Kev, Joanna, Jimmy, Nick, Chris, Matthew and Tim send their love to you, too! We're taking good care of Dad :)

Hi Grandma,
I think about you every day. I remember your hugs and kisses, the way you would sneak us cookies. I remember your voice so clearly and I remember how proud you were of your family. I love you and I know you are looking out for all of us. Sometimes I think I feel you sitting on my shoulder. You'll be missed but never forgotten.

Mom,
I'm thinking of you today as I know by now you are already with my Mom who passed away a few days ago. We love you both and will miss you always. We are at peace, though, knowing you are together.
Love You, Kathy

Hi Grandma I just wanted to say that you were the sweetest and strongest person that I have ever met. Without you I wouldn't have my Dad which means the world to me and my unbelievable family. Thank you for being in my life. I am a better person because of you. I love you so much and always will. (GO CUBBIES)

Dear Mom,
I will forever love you and remember you always for being such a great mother-in-law, Mom, grandmother of our 6 sons and most of all, friend to me. You always treated me like your daughter and I always felt such warmth and love from you. I will miss you greatly but will hold dear forever all the fond memories I have of us together. Thank you for your unending love to Rick and I and our sons, Kevin, Jimmy, Nick, Chris, Matthew and Timmy and your future granddaughter, Joanna.
Love Always and God Bless You as the Angels watch over you forever,
Kath XXOO :)
