Josephine Gleason Obituary

Hey Mom,

I know it's taken me a while to write, it's just that I still can't believe your gone. We all made it thru the Holidays ok, but it was really weird that you were not her with us. The kids miss you a lot as do Brian and I. I am finally working, after 13 months of being out of work. I started on August 1. CJ will be making her Confirmation on April 2 and Graduation is on June 1, boy I wish you could be here for that. Toni, Bobby and I are all doing well, and we all miss you very much. Well I have to go, but I'll try and write again before the book is closed. I love you.

Aunt Jo, I thought about you a lot today. You were so special to me-more than just an aunt. You always cared so much about us, especially when we were kids. I always looked up to you, it was like having another mother. I sang the Ave Maria in church today, for you. I know you heard me. I miss you so much. It's like an empty space in my heart. Say Hi to grandma for me. Happy Mother's Day-I love you. Love ya bunches, Maria

My Mother...

Who was this lady? Who can she be?

She was someone I loved, she who always loved me.

This love that she gave, will always fill up my heart, and I will feel her presence, though we are apart.

She gave not to get, and gave more than her share, I know that this lady, will always be there.

She filled up my days, with happiness and joy,

I'll cherish here memories more than a new Christmas toy.

She was someone to laugh with, to cry with, to touch,

I'll be lost without her cause I love her so much.

There was so much about her, so much I could see,

I wanted you to see it, is that crazy of me?

Because if you loved her as much as I do, Her memories will keep us happy, we will never be blue. I look at my life, I know everything will be fine,

I thank the Lord up Above, that this Mother was MINE.

She has earned her angel wings, as she dances on a cloud, to say I was her DAUGHTER, has made me FOREVER PROUD.

My life would have been empty, my life would have been bare,

But instead it was filled with love and hope, because she was always there.

She had a warm smile, and beautiful eyes,

My love for her, I could not disguise.

Her heart was of GOLD, and her LOVE was so TRUE, I wantd to make her happy, by the things that I do.

When we are together, with her at my side, I know I'll go on, With her as my guide

She will watch down upon us, as the rainbows sparkle from her eyes

She will keep us safe from harm, as she spreads her wings and flies

So when I am feeling alone and afraid, she will reach down for my hand

And I know she will be there to light the way, just as God had planned

YOU CANNOT COMPARE, BECAUSE NONE ARE ABOVE

THIS WOMAN NAMED JOSEPHINE, THE MOTHER I LOVE!!

Dear Toni, Bob, Anita & Family,

Because you are so dear a Friend,

your cares are our cares, too,

And so, as sorrow fills your heart,

our hearts goes out to you....

And though our words cannot begin

to ease the loss you bear,

we only hope it helps,somehow,

to know how much we care.

We are fortunate that in our hearts we keep forever the memories

of those we love...and the time we

shared together. When someone you love becomes a memory,the memory becomes a treasure. And Mom was a "Treasure".She was a very special lady and no doubt, so very proud of her children.May the

memory of your mom and the special life you shared help ease the sadness of everyones loss. Our love and sympathy are with you.

To the family, I am so sorry for

your loss, your mother will always

be remembered for being a very

kind lady. Unfortunately, the

first time I met your Mom was at

your Dad's Wake and I admired her

for her strength during a difficult

time. My prayers are with you.

Dear Toni, Robert & Anita: We just want to convey our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I know we haven't seen very much of you these past years, but I remember all the good times we had when you and Aunt Beezie lived at 57th & Campbell. Your mom was a wonderful lady and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God grant you His comfort.
