Kap-Sim Adams Obituary

Another milestone! 18 years since I lost this incredible, amazing, loving lady. Mom this was the saddest day for all of your children and grandchildren. We cherish all the memories you made with us and relish in them with the smiles and laughter they bring!! Love Your Eldest Skip

It has been 16 years since you went away. The rawness and pain has gone but never the feeling of loss! I will never stop loving and missing you!!!

Wow - it is coming up on 13 years. There are times I wish I could have shared my ups and downs these past 13 years. I really could have used you the last few years as I slowly wandered through the minefield of my life. I hold onto your love always.

Mom,

It is hard to believe that a year ago today was the last time I touched your soft hands. I miss you and my love for you grows stronger each passing day. You are truly missed.

Love Your baby,

Mike

Mom,

Today, 23 APR, was that awful day that changed my life forever. That accident was the worst thing that ever happened to me in my life. I miss you with each passing day - your smile and laughter are permenently imprinted in my mind. I will always love you more than you will ever know; however I do think you always knew deep in your heart how much your children really did love you.

Love Forever,

Your #1 Son,

SKip

Mom,
Tomorrow it will be one year since the accident that took you away from us. I wish i could turn back the clock and save you. I always wish that I could have changed that terrible day. I miss you so much and I think about you every day. You showed me what love was all about. All i can say is that I miss you Mom and i wish that I could have saved you. You are always in my heart and in my mind. I love you always.
Your Baby,
Mike

Mom,

I missed you so much on your 64th Birthday. It was a very tough day for me because it was a ritual for me to call you on your Birthday.
I hope at some point I can come to terms and understand the necessity for your premature departure. You will always have a special place in my heart and I always have your smile and laughter embedded in my memory.
You are an amazing Lady and all the happy moments in my life are attributed directly to you. I will alwyas love you.

Your Number 1 son.

Love Always,

Skip

Mom, In a few days it will be your birthday. Last year at this time was the last time I talked with you. As I was leaving, you said that I love you. I will always love you too and remember everything that you taught me. You are a wonderful mother and i miss you so much.

Love,
Your baby

Hello Mom, I just wanted to let you know that Dylan has started crawling and is getting bigger each day. I know that you would be so happy seeing him and holding him. Everyone misses you so much, especially your baby.

Well, it was my first birthday withour you Mom and I missed you so much. I remembered when I was a child and you would make anything we wanted for our birthday dinner. You were the best Mom and I want to thank you for all of the memories that I got to share with you. You will always be missed and I will always carry you close to my heart.

As the days progress it seems as though I regress. I miss this amazing lady more each day. I realize it is not the amount of time we have on this Earth but what we do with the time we have. I truly continue to miss this amazing person, lady and mother. You left a huge inprint on my very soul. As I sit and think I realize I am so much like you in so many ways - my many interests, my sense of humor, my sense of honor, my dedication to my job, my loyality to my friends, and most importantly my love of my family. If everything was normal you would be visiting me in Hawaii this week. I guess everything is far from normal. I want you to know you are always in my thoughts and I realize I miss you like a flower misses the spring sun. Love your oldest - Skip.

Mom,



I wrote you another poem and you are so special to me.



Love,

Your baby



Thanks For Always Being There



When I was down

You were always there to pick me up

When I was a clown

You were always there to laugh with me

When I was hungry

You were always there to eat with me

When I was lonely

You were always there to comfort me

When I was sick

You were always there to nurse me

When I was in need of advice

You were always there to teach me

When I needed a friend

You were always there to back me

When I needed a hug

You were always there to be support

When I needed you the most

You were always there being the best Mom.

Thanks Mom, for always being there.

Happy Wedding Anniversary Mom! I miss you so much and I think about you all the time. Youe are the best Mom and I will love you forever!

I just wanted to say Happy mother's day Mom and that I love you so much. You are a great inspiration and I treasure the moments that I got to share with you. You are such a beautiful lady and I remember a line from Fried Green Tomatos, ...."A lady always knows when to leave"... I know that I will see you again someday and I will pick you up and carry you in my arms, just like the ole times. I wrote you another poem and this is from all of your children. You will be forever in my thoughts, love always, your Baby Mike



Call Us When You Get There



We wanted to hear your voice

But now it is a distant memory

Forever, embedded in our thoughts

If we could grab it and capture it

We would hold on to it forever



As the days slowly come and go

We find ourselves missing you more each day

As the day you left us grows

So does our love for you



Your days with us on this Earth

are treasured memories

Photographs in our minds

Which we will always cherish



As we close our eyes

We will always remember you

Your imprint on our lives will never erode

The wind will always carry your words

The Heavens will always shine your enormous smile

We see you everywhere



As we slowly drift in our thoughts

Under the gentle Spring breeze

We can hear your voice say,

“Skip, Linda, Mike …

This is your Mother, I am home

I love you and will see you all again someday.”



We love you too Mom

We are so lucky to be able to call you our Mom.



Happy Mother’s Day

With all our love,



Your Children

It is a new month and the rawness of the lose has started going away. I still miss you and care for you more than ordinary words could every say. With Mother's Day looming our lose becomes more evident. I look back and realize we didn't need a sanctioned day to celebrate our love for you. I think everyday that I got to see you and talk with you was a special day. I know nothing will every ease the pain of your passing until I see you again. We all love and miss you dearly. Love forever your number 1 Sone - Skip.

Mom, I think of you everday, almost every minute. I realize your passing has ripped a huge hole in my heart. That tear will take a lifetime or more to heal. I cannot image the scar that will be left behind. God must have really needed you to take you away from us so abruptly. I was right when I said earlier how my love for you only grows. Your smile, laughter, and love are always there in my mind; which only makes me miss you even more. I realize this day would come, but we never are truly prepared for it when we have such deep affection and truly care and love the person. I think you know how much your children loved you and how we wanted you to be so proud of us. I miss you with all my heart - Your #1 Son Skip.

Mom,

I wrote you another poem and I just wanted to say hello and to tell you that everyone misses you like crazy. We have found some Korean food recipes and we will be trying them out. We want to keep the Korean Culture alive, however, no one can make the food as good as you. We all miss our Mom's food. Love your baby... Mike



Blossom



Tried to wipe away the tears today

Knowing how Spring was your favorite time of year.

As I sit outside and think of you,

cherry blossoms sail in the wind and float on forever.



I saw you again last night

As images of your smile and laughter filled my mind.

I’ll always be holding you in my thoughts

For you will never leave my heart.



Caught a glimpse of you today

As I looked into the mirror

You will never grow old Momma

For you are in all of us…..

I miss you Mom like crazy and I wrote this poem for you. You were always my greatest inspiration and cheerleader. Love always... your baby.







March



Tried to catch my breath today

Thoughts of you fill my head

Remembering your smile

Your warm, soft hands



I remember hearing your voice

As it now slowly, fades into the wind

I want to breathe it all in

So I can have it forever



You filled my heart

Showed me love and courage

Set your mind to anything

It can be accomplished



If love was enough

You would have been able to stay

Our hearts would have seen to that



As for now

Rest you beautiful lady

For your family is strong



We are like water

We can overcome any obstacle

By coming together

By using our strength to find a new path

It has been three weeks since the accident and I truly miss this lovely lady. I know God weeped the day that she passed onto the next stage of her journey. I was able to always let my Mom know how much I truly loved her with spoiling her with the little things in life. It was my repayment for all she had given me throughout my life - especially her love. I think that is what I will truly miss, the unconditional love a mother has for her child. I will continue to spend the rest of my days honoring this gift from the heavens that had such a huge impact in the short time she spent on this earth. Mom, you were my inspiration and muse in so many ways. I truly adored your spirit and your inner and outer beauty. Your children are the result of the fire and drive that burned within your heart. We will continue to honor that in everything we do. We will ensure you live on and are remembered. Thanks for always being there. Love - Your #1 Son - Skip

Thank you o-mo-ni for welcoming me into your family and teaching me about Korea and Korean food (especially for always making jap ch'ae for me). We promise to teach your grandson about his heritage and to keep your memory alive through stories.

I totally agree with what you say Skip and Linda. I treasure all of the opportunities that I got to spend with Mom. I know that seeing me graduate college was such a big thing, which I know a lot of people didn't think would happen. I guess that is why she actually cried at mine. Like we all have said, Mom was a great mother, friend and supervisor. Mom had a wonderful charisma that made people like her. She was a magnet. Yeah, there were times that she drove us all crazy, but it was because she cared so much for us and wanted the best for us. I know that I am the man I am today because of her, albeit the tattoos. Like the Pastor said, there is nothing like the love that a mother has for her children. I truly believe this and I felt the love everyday that Mom had for us. It was amazing. As for me, I am doing alright and time is helping and just talking about Mom is real therapy. Plus, for me getting the memorial tattoo on my chest is helping me. I will always have Mom close to my heart. I still shead a tear now and then because I miss her like crazy. I soon have a smile on my face because I think of how she lived her life and how she smiled and was able to act so goofy. I know that we get our goofiness from her. I have so many memories to fill up my mind. The one thing that I will miss is her stories and finding that there is a moral to everything in life. I hope to be able to pass on those types of life's teachings to my kids. Plus, I see her in my face. I have her hair, eyes, nose and huge head to remind me of her. I am so glad that she knew how proud of her I was. She was able to give us the world and then some. Plus, I loved the Korean Culture and wanted to learn so much about it. It was an honor to be her son and to have her in my life for over 33 years. You know some people say that we choose our parents. Well I am so glad that I chose Mom, because she was the best. You all don't need to worry about me. I am doing good. I am one tough cookie. I have found my peace and I hope that you two can find yours. I know it takes time and everyone must travel their own road, but I know that peace will come. Plus, mom would tell you to stop crying and enjoy life. She is still with us now more than ever before. I love you all so much and I am glad that I also picked you two to as my older brother and sister because you two are the best in the world. Mom was always so proud of us and I know she is proud of us know and how we are always keeping the family first. She did real good and we are proof of that. I always remember her saying that her kids are the world to her and I know that she truly meant those words. Mom, you will always be in my heart and mind. I will always be your baby....Mike

To the greatest mother (grandmother) a person could ever ask for. Not only were you my mother, but you were my best friend. I miss your smile, hugs, and holding those very soft hands. I miss our talks together, our shopping trips, and our lunches. Family was the most important thing to her. You are the reason Skip, Mike, and I are so close. You would never give up on any of your kids and only wanted the best for us. Momma you will forever be in my thoughts. When you left you took a piece of my heart with you. I miss you so much. I know I will see you again some day. Love always your only daughter Linda.

The Greatest woman I ever knew and was lucky to be one of three individuals who got to call her Mom. As the days pass I miss her voice, her infectious smile, her silliness, and indomitable will even more. She always believed you could perservere through anything life threw at you. She also showed my sister, brother and I what unconditional love was really all about. I know I am only being selfish in wanting to spend at least 20 more years with her. She is truly immortalized by her children and grandchildren who carry on her personality traits and love of life. Mom you will be forever missed - time will only increase my love for you. Love your #1 Son - Skip

She was the greatest mother that anyone could every ask for. I know that I gave her a lot of gray hairs. She was always im my corner and made me want to become a better person. I will truly miss her smile and warm hugs. I miss my mom so much and I think about you every day. Love always, your baby... Mike

Linda was a beautiful person. She only saw good in people and would greet everyone with a warm smile and encouraging comments. She will always be in my heart because over the past 6 years she always motivated me to do my best and made me feel good when I was down. I remember Linda to be beautiful, warm, friendly, proud of her family, caring towards her friends, and hard working. I will always remember her hugs and smiles and her encouraging words.

I give my condolences to Linda's family and friends. I will always remember her to be a beautiful person inside and out. Linda was a motherly figure to me and always motivated and encouraged me to do my best. Everytime I saw her she would smile and hug me. I will never forget her.
