Hi ma,
I wanted to take a moment out to say hi. I miss you dearly and wish everyday that you were here with us. I know your in a better place now and that your watching over us, so that helps us get through the days knowing that. But I miss our deep conversations that we had, I miss watching Life Time all day with you, I miss hearing you yell at us, I miss seeing your beautiful smile, and I miss your charming personality. :( I really wish Jayden had the chance to meet the most wonderful woman that I have ever met, but I know that one day he will. Please keep looking over us and sending down your love. I love you ma!!!

Hi gramma! I haven't stopped by in a while. I just thought I'd come and say hi. I miss you. I guess you know how i have a job now! I'm proud! And I know you would be too. There is one other reason why i stopped by. i wanted to ask you to keep anthony and i safe on our trip up to wisconsin tomorrow. please.


gramma, i miss you so much. and now that the holidays are getting closer, it's getting harder. yes, we've gone threw this time and time again, but i still haven't accepted that your gone. Im still hoping that this is a horrible nightmare, and that im going to be able to wake up and see you smiling at me. i love you gramma, and just cant wait to see you again.

The other day, I got your sign. I've been asking for one for the longest. and i got it. When i woke up, i heard your voice saying to me "Wake up babygirl! time to get up!! you don't want to sleep the day away! we're gonna have fun today!!" but when i sat up and looked around, you werent there. it was a sign from you, and i know it.

please gramma, look after us. i miss you terribly. happy holidays gram. and i'll be back to visit soon!

Love always and forever<3

Hi Mama!!
Just thinking about you a little more today than yesterday. I know that you had a lot to do with my little princess finding her way to me. I often think about and hope that she has a lot (but not all) of you in her. Your never ending love, your smile, your sometimes uncontrolable laugh and your heart would be just a few of the traits that I hope she gets from her grandmother. She will get enough attitude and stubborness from me, there is no need for more. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe!! I love you, Mommy!!

Happy Birthday Mommy! It is times like this that make me sad that you are not here with us. I wish I could bake you your favorite cake and smash it in your face like you always did to ALL of us on our birthdays. Not only on our birthdays, but I remember when you did it to me with the fudge cake that you bought me on my fifth wedding anniversary. You always made things fun for us. I want to let you know that all of your children will be at my house on your special day. We will celebrate for you! Mommy, continue to watch over us and keep us strong. If anybody knows how to remain strong, it's you! I really want you to know just how much I LOVE YOU! You are and always will be my strength, hope and light of my life!!!!!

Our beautiful family was made possible because of you!We miss you so very much mom, but we know that if you were to say something to us, it would be "carry on with our lives, you're always with us and we'll see each other again". Merry Christmas mom! Good night, I love you and God bless you!

Hi Mommy!
It's almost Christmas and even though I miss you all the time, I especially want you to know how close I hold you to my heart. I read a poem the other day and want to say those same words to you...
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY, AND MEMORIES A LANE, I'D WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN!!!!!!!
This year, my gift to you is all the LOVE in the entire world, along with an enormous amount of hugs and kisses!!!
I love you Mommy, and Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!!! Tanya

August 24, 2006

Hi Mom!

I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. I LOVE and miss you very much! I hope you know and can see just how much you mean to me. I was sad, mad, hurt and angry before, but now I can only think about the tremendous amount of love that you had for your family. And that if you had things your way, you would be right here with us for all eternity. But, there were other plans for you. You were called upon by the lord. And with a child as WONDERFUL as you, why wouldn't he want you there with him? You deserve nothing but the best for your "time served". You've been through it all and kept on truckin'! Now you've got the best life, enjoy it!! Until we're together again,

Your smartest, and best lookin' child William

Hi mom. I'm really missing you today so much. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode with tears and anger still. Maybe because of all the Birthday's that are here and are still coming and all the things your baby grandchildren are doing. You would be so proud of them. I can here your voice talking to them and saying things like "Give grama kisses". I will make sure they know you. I love you mom. God Bless You, Hugs and Kisses.



Love,

To all of my family, and gramma.. today, i was looking threw some quotes that i found, and i found one that made me cry, but describes so much:



i refuse to accept the fact that you`re gone i`ll always be singing a different song

you weren`t just my Nana but my very bestfriend

& i won`t believe that it`s the end

when i heard the news i couldn`t find my breath my body & the floor almost met i couldn`t find words or my strength to stand cause you were always the one to be holding my hand i had this comfort knowing you were only a call away

& i always had this idea that you were here to stay i was madd at you for leaving me in this world alone cause i know that heaven doesn`t have a phone where are we to go during the holidays ? cause you`ve touched all our lives in so many ways

i`m not sure how to live without my favorite guide i just wish you`d come back & always be by my side



i love you and miss you gramma

June 23, 2006

I LOVE YOU MOM! You know how I feel and you are my strength through all my trying times. To all my brother's and sister's, you are also my strength. If I can describe "family" and "unconditional love", it would be us, our family, because no matter what we go through, we are always there for each other. I know we don't say things as often as we want to but we know, we just KNOW! Thank you to all who have been there for me and family. To all my aunt's and uncle's, I LOVE YOU TOO!



Love You Infinity,

Catrina. xoxoxoxo

I love you and miss you ma...I want you to know there are a lot of times I see you reaching us through our daughter and I believe that is why her dedicatation to the good Lord who is keeping you safe was on the same day as mother's day. I miss you and I love you

To my Big Brother Bill, My older sister Catrina, My not so much younger Brother Timmy, My getting older sister Dea, My getting older brother Mike and My baby brother David,



With mom being gone for a year now, she has had time to see for herself, that she raised us very well. Although we will always NEED her, she is resting well knowing that we are here for each other. As hard as this past year has been for ALL of us, we continue to make Mom proud. So if you feel a little pat on your back, an atta boy (or girl), know that it's Mommy saying "thank you for letting me rest so well", "I love all of you VERY much" and "I'll see you when it's time".



From my heart to yours,

You are all my strength, my hope and my life!!

Love, your middle Sis ~

Your Loving Grandaughter, Nikki

Hey Ma' I just wanted to say Happy Mothers Day. Sorry I didn't write on Sunday I have been a little busy. We all miss you soooo much and know you were here with us. Dea, Jamers, and Me were just talking about you on Sunday and I had to stop the tears cuz I didn't want to upset Dea. So we laughed instead. You are in our hearts, I love you and Happy Mothers Day.

The death of a loved one is so sad and very hard to accept. Some of you may know that my Mom and Dad are very ill. Yesterday I spoke with a Funeral Director to preplan some of Dad's arrangements, this is the most difficult thing I have ever done in my entire life. I know Dad will be in a better place and suffer no more but it is hard to let go and imagine never being able to touch his hand or kiss his head. I am so sorry for your loss because I now know what you all feel in your heart. Take care of yourself and always feel comfort in knowing your Mom is in a place where pain is no more and peace is always in her heart. Linda loved you all and she will always be at your side. I love you all too.

Hi Mommy! Mothers Day just wasn't the same without you here.

I, We, missed you as we always do. But I beleive that I am the Mother that I am because of you. I may not be perfect at all maternal situations, but I sure do know how to LOVE my children the way that you loved yours. That is the most important thing that you instilled in all of us. It isn't always roses, but we ALWAYS love one another unconditionally!

Olivia had her Dedication to the Lord on Mothers day. It was beautiful, wasn't it? It was a rainy day. That is until me, Trina, Dea, and Jaime went outside(to smoke). Little Tim followed us out there. Then the sun started to shine. Little Timmy got so excited and said; "look, the sun is out now". I told him that it was his Grandma saying Hi to us. He ran inside and told everyone to look outside because "HIS" Grandma is saying Hi right now. That was nice of you, mom. Always thinking of us. I feel like you're right here by my side. Always watching over me and Loving me! Thanks for being my SUNSHINE on Mothers Day!! Until I see you again, I LOVE YOU!!!! And Happy Mothers Day!!! Tana~Boo

Happy Mother's Day mom. We, your children, and other friends and family have used this website as a forum to help ourselves to get past some of our rough times and for just a simple thought of how we remember you. I feel better when i put an entry here. There isn't a day that goes by where i don't think of you! Your legacy carries on as Catrina, Tanya, Timmy, Dea and Michael pass on your love to your grandchildren. I'm gonna have your traditional Red Lobster today just like you always did. One of your loving sons,

Hi everyone. I just submitted a couple of new photos. I carry them with me every where so I thought I would share them with you.



We miss you so much mom. And Cheeto (Miguel Jr.) is doing great. When I firt had cheeto, the first thing I thought was how crazy you were to have so many of us, but I see why you did it. It is sooo worth it. Almost everyday I see him staring at the shadow box Miguel made for me of you and sometimes he smiles or talks so I know he knows you're there. Thank you for watching over us and keeping me strong. All I have to do is think about how strong you were and what you went through. I know I can make it through anything with you by my side and since I have your great characteristics. :) Love ya!!

To my loving Nieces and Nephews, I have added a picture today that I was just given at Christmas. I may not have been around much as you were all growing into the fine ladies and gentlemen you are now but I hope you all know that I have always loved you very much. I never had to worry about my sister Linda knowing that, it really never even needed be said because as I'm sure you kids feel in your heart, we knew, we just knew. I'm sure she is watching me blubber as I write this and she has that smile of hers that always lit up a room. I miss her. Love Auntie Barbara

Linda was another mom to me. I could talk to her about ANYTHING. I used to love to her stories about her youngin days. I think my most favorite memory with Linda was when Linda (Ma) and I were up till 4:00 in the morning playing Super Mario Bros 3. We were determined to beat that darn game and we did. I love you & miss you sooo much. I think of you all the time and you are always in my prayers... Do me a favor Ma... Tell my Dad I love him and miss him too. I know you two are watching over us all.

Dear Gramma, Uncle Bill, Mommy, Uncle Timmy, Aunty Tanya, Aunty Dea, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Dave,



Today is going to be one of the most difficult days for all of us, but I am glad that we have all stuck by eachother's side. I dont remember this family being this close, and together, for a long time. Unfortunatly, it took a death to bring us all so much closer. And unfortunatly, that death had to be your mother, my grandmother, and a sister to many. She is loved. I want you all to know that you are all in my prayers. Gramma never gave up on anything, or anyone. She always had faith in you guys. She taught you all to fight for what you want. She encouraged you all to make your own dicissions, and how to carefully choose them. She told you guys never to give up, always stand up for what you feel, and believe in. This family has grew stronger, since that sorrowful day that we wish would have never happened. She reminded us all that day, That she would always be with us. In our hearts, our souls. She is moving on with each and every one of us. A part of her lives in all 7 children, 10 grandchildren, and 7 brothers and sisters. As her first grand-daughter, This was just as difficult for me to cope with. She had a wonderful family. My mother, and aunts and uncles have taught me alot too. That can be a benifit from Gramma. She had loving friends, and she loved EVERY ONE! Aunty Serena, Aunty Jamie, Uncle Bob, Uncle Miguel, Aunty Lisa. You guys are all a part of this family, no matter what. She would always say, "Good night, I love you, God bless you" EVERY single night before her children, or grandchildren, would fall asleep. This is going to be a year of difficult firsts for everyone. With birthdays, holidays, and just memories on our minds. She is a BIG part of all of our lives. She loved her grandchildren: Me, Justin, Tyler, Anthony, Nicholas, and Timothy, and she is now sending her love to Olivia, Mikayla, Miguel Jr. and Demitrius. She may not have known those 4, but she will be with them in everything. I know this family will do all they can to teach her new grandchildren all about her. She will not be forgotten to any grandchildren. Things fell apart for a while, but this family has put them back together. I am so greatful to have a family who can stick together through these times, and remember her. I know I will not be able to forget her, and everything I have learned from her. She taught me so many lessons in life, that I will cherish. I am greatful to have known her, and to have been her first born grand-daughter. Sometimes, I stop and ask God, "Why God? Why have you taken her from us? Why did you choose to take her the way you did? Why did you have to take her now?" So many times I become very angry with God, but I know he does things for a reason. I just wish he wouldnt have taken her so soon. She didnt know about one grandson though. It was going to be a surprise to her. My mother was planning on going out there by her one weekend, and surprising her with the news. But, she was never able to do that. Instead, Gramma was with her, and the baby, the whole way through the pregnancy, just like she was for her twin children, Dea, and Michael (melissa.) We miss her terribly, but today being her birthday, we will all celebrate, and remember the times we've had with her..good and bad. All the memories we've all had together. Sometimes I can hear her laugh. It makes me remember how she'd just start laughing for no reason at all, and every one else would look at her like she was CRAZY, and couldnt help but to laugh, and then, she'd just stop. With out a reason to why she was laughing, she'd stop with NO problem! She had a great sense of humor. That is one of the things I admired the most about her. Also how she made other peoples problems her own. She always helped in any and every way she could. I will miss her terribly. But she is living in each and every one of you, her children. And when I become sad, all i have to do is look at one of you guys, or look at a picture, and I will have a smile on my face remembering all of the good times we had. I love you all so much! God bless you all!

Dear Mommy,

This is the hardest day for me because it is your Birthday. I miss you so much but I know you are watching over me as well as all your children. I think of you EVERYDAY and say a prayer. Sometimes I cry, and sometimes I smile. I still feel like you are my ROCK and you help me through my difficult times now as you always did then. You have made me a stronger woman and I don't know if I ever thanked you for that. I will celebrate you and all the memories with tears and smiles on your special day. Feel my arms around you giving you a BIG HUG & BIG KISS! Your grandchildren miss you and love you. Your new ones will know you and the things you always did, like when you would say "SO BIG" to the babies and lift their arms above their heads. I cherish everything from you and about you.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND I LOVE YOU MOMMY!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO



P.S. We will all be together today to celebrate our times with you so send us a sign to let us know you're with us.

Well, I haven't sent you a letter in a while and I know you hear me when I talk to you but in writing I just wanted to say I love you and I miss you! Your grandson Timothy loves you so much and talks about you often! He misses you but knows that you are safe with our Lord and Father. Ma please look after us all, we too soon forget what life is about, please help remind us to always love and cherish, compliment and hold, talk to and pray for each other as much as we can!

My Angel, My Love, My Mom,

Words cannot express how much I miss you! I sometimes even pick up the phone to call you, only to realize that all I have to do is close my eyes and there you'll be!! Every thought, every emotion filled with your beauty. Although I hope to be here with my children until I grow very old, death is something that I no longer fear. For it is then that I will be able to see you again! I love you with all my heart!

Dear Ma,



I love you! I miss you!! I can't express how thankful I am to be apart of your family, how you loved me and excepted me from the first day I met you, how you have given a family for me to know that has enabled me to love others more than I have ever dreamed I could. Without you I wouldn't have a wonderful loving husband and dedicated father for my children, I wouldn't have caring sister and brother in-laws to be so close to and create great memories with. Thank you for always telling me I was your favorite daughter in-law even though I am your only one, (even before we were married!) and for telling me you loved me all the time. Ma, I will be looking for your love and protection that I know you will be giving my babies as they grow and I promise I will make sure they know just how much their grandma loves them and will always be their gaurdian angel looking over them.

I will love and miss you always! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Your ever-loving daughter-in-law

I can't seem to find words to describe Linda....Her family is one of the most wonderful and crazy people that i have ever met. I look at all of them like my own family and she is dearly missed. I am sorry I couldn't make it to the services but Linda and her family are always in my heart and prayers. She left a huge impact in all of our lives. She's in a lot better place. God will now take care of her. I love you all.

To Linda, Bill, Catrina, Tanya, Timmy, Dea, Michael and David



Linda is and will always be an Outstanding Woman. Everyone walks through life making mistakes that they regret. It is not the mistakes that define who we are. We are defined by who we become and what we leave in our legacy. Linda has left the legacy of being a Loving Mother, a kindhearted human being and a smile like no other. I was very young when your family left the old neighborhood but I will never forget my family and when I think of Linda I will see her smiling face and that will always bring comfort to my heart as I hope it will comfort yours. Linda's greatest accomplishment is her Children and knowing that she has raised her children with Love that goes beyond presence. I am blessed knowing you all and I love all of you.



Love your cousin Kimmie

To my soon to be mother-in-law:

Linda was such a sweet, kind, and very considerate woman. She ALWAYS put others before herself, she helped others no matter what her own situation was, she was always there for me through thick and thin. Any time I was feeling down she was always there ready to lend me a hand. She always knew what to say and do to cheer me up. Linda had a heart like no other person I've ever known. I feel very honored to not only be able to have had the chance to be in Linda's life, but also to have become a part of her wonderful, loving, family. To be completely honest Linda(ma) has been there for me in many ways that my own mother wasn't. And for that she deserves the world. I will never ever forget her acts of kindness and she will always be in my heart and also in my prayers. R.I.P Baby Girl

To my sister Linda: May you finally have peace and piece of mind. You have raised some wonderful ladies and gentlemen in Bill, Catrina, Tim, Tanya, Michael, David and Deah. We all know that you had some rough patches along the way but you always shined like a star. You always made sure the kids were taken care of. Your smile lit up a room, your laugh filled our hearts with joy and your presence always brought love. Your kiss was a godsend and you will be sorely missed. I Love You Very Much!! Sleep with the angels my dear sister.

My Dearest Mommy,

You will ALWAYS remain in our hearts! You will NEVER be forgotten! You mean so much to so many people......your children, sons and daughter in-law, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and so many friends and loved ones. You have left everlasting impressions on many of our hearts when you touched them with your love. You have left smiles imbedded on our faces with each wonderful thought of you. Mom, now rest. It is your time to shine from above and look down with joy upon the ones that you love! From our hearts to yours ~ Tanya, Bob, Justin, Ty-Ty and Niko
