DEAREST MOMMIEE',
So very surprised that the many enteries from last year(your memorial celebration year) are not in this keepsake. That was why it was renewed. >>>>>>> this is why you and I always preferred the human element over computers. The heart never forgets what eletonics often loses.
Alas; time passes, life seems to get much harder without you. Yet; the LOVE grows stronger and stronger.
I know with all my heart you are a pure and divine guiding and protecting source of energy, so often near me. Thank you.
I hope with all of me you were there to greet your "Shtockle" - my beloved sweet boy, Brizzi Baby - to guide him to the other side , full of: renewed youth,full health,lots of good stuff to eat, tireless play and running.......endless happiness and LOVE.
Please always guard his name-sake that I grow to love more with every second of my remaining life.(Yep Mom; you always knew it was Forever, didn't ya? HA!!!)
Whisper to "the powers that be" what a good man he is; a truly beautiful spirit that deserves a very happy, comfortable,LONG life.
May you be wrapped in glorious strength and joy - for you deserve that and so very, very much more.
Please give Grammy and all my precious animal kids a hug and kiss - tell Whoobie ; I still am not behaving myself and will try to get the Chev put right for our Nooshie to roll in someday.
Save a space for us all; with hope that we shall be together again.
As the precious man - on this page - bid you farwell....
"'til we meet again."
My Love,
Baby

Dear Mom,
Words cannot express how much you will be missed. You and Pa had such an impact on my life and my families life. You were there in every aspect of my life. From having Anthony and then with Sebastian and Brianna. Not to mention how you were there for me and my family when I lost my mom, dad, and my brother. For all you did for me and Duff for our wedding. You helped make our special day even more special. You will never be forgotten by anyone that you touched in their hearts and souls. We know your in a much better place and that we will again be together in that beautiful place that you will have set up for us. God Bless you and may the perpetual light shine apon you always.
With love and appreaciation always,
Denise, Duffy and family

Mutzie has always been a special person in my life. She was like having another grandmother and I will miss her greatly. I remember being young and shopping at the Brickyard and getting to stay up late because we had shopped so long. I also remember being scared of the thunder and her cuddling up next to me to convince me it was just the angels bowling. Heaven has gained an angel. Deepest sympathies go out to Augie, Debbie, Terrie and Regina.
Love always - Jennifer, John, Amanda and John

I have fond memories of Mutzie: she always greeted me with a smile and was so kind to my mother, Beezie.
Mutzie will be missed by all those who knew her here on earth, but she is welcomed by Jesus for a well-deserved rest. I look forward to seeing you again Mutzie, in heaven.
