Margaret Kalafut Obituary

I can't believe you have been gone 16 years! You are my sister, but you were also my friend, my advocate, and my mentor. We will be together again, but until then, remember you are always remembered, and definitely always loved. I know you are watching out for my Mike, and thank you so much for that.

Josie

Hello My Precious Angel,
15 years of you not being here with us , is literally so hard to even Imagine . You are truly loved and missed beyond words .. I can tell you this, you´ve traveled so much with me , I take your picture picture everywhere so you get to enjoy the beauty of the world . Bet it´s gorgeous from up there . My heart is still incomplete with you gone but I know when the day I get to see you and kiss you , it will be whole again

Peggy,
I, miss, sharing, life events, fun times and sad times, with you.
You, have always been, wonderful human being. A beautiful soul. A kind and gentle woman.
Peggy, you were and always, will be, the best, sister, anyone could have.
Please, look out for, Mike, as he crossed over, December 16th 2019.
Love always❤

Hello My Precious Angel ,
What do I say that you dont already know ?
I Love and Miss you everyday . I wish I had you here to talk to , especially earlier this year .
All the Babies are so big now , but Im sure youve been watching them grow from above .
Until we meet again , you will forever be in my heart and in my thoughts .

Hello My Precious Angel,

I know its been a while but for one minute don't think you weren't on my mind. I miss you so much especially right now I really need somebody to talk to and only you would listen and understand. I miss our long talks, our laughs and what i would give to have you hug and kiss me one more time. We did the walk for you on sunday. It turned out to be a good day and many joined in the walk for you. It was a little emotional but hopefully it is something we can all come together to do in your memory once a year. Well Gram I just wanted to say hello I will visit you soon.. Love always and forever

"Grandma, i miss you and im going through i tough time right now i wish you were here to comfort me and tell me everythings going to be alright, but i know that you're in a better place and im glad you're not suffering anymore. i love you and i miss you, i know i'll see you again some day in the near future."

Merry Christmas Ma,

Well, I guess I was right...you were the glue that held this crazy family together. I really miss you Ma. I hope you're all enjoying your Christmas up there. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma

Hello My Precious Angel,
Want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.. I miss you, I miss our talks you are the only one I had down here that I could trust, be honest with about everything without judgement you knew everything about my life. You Know why I am me and excepted me for me. So much has changed its sad. I definitely feel like I am losing my mind. I have to make changes in my life and I need to do them soon. I would love to move away, start a new life, new people new friends new environment new everything. But don't look like I will be able to do that so I guess I just have to deal with things differently one of the changes I need to make. Well sorry to ramble on xmas eve. I just miss you and wanted to talk to you for a bit.... I love you always and forever Until the day we meet again just always know that....

Happy Birthday Ma,

I hope you had a good one. I've been thinking about you and Dad a lot these days. The kids are getting so big and they're so darn smart. Can you believe Angel and Junior are driving, graduating from High School and going to College? Saw Breann and Brian not to long ago and I can't believe those two were as small as they were when they were born. They're growing so fast. Where did the time go? Before you know it I'll be saying the same thing about Johnathen, Ani, Rhianna and Aubrie. OMG, I'm really getting old. Miss you a lot. Say hi to Dad and everyone else up there for me. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma,

Hello My Precious Angel,
Just been thinking about you and gramps lately. Boy do i miss you two more than you know. Things are so different & so messed up down here. I honestly don't even know what to do or how to feel anymore. Wish you were still here. Well I just wanted to say hello and let you know you are on my mind always, Had a dream about you and gramps the other day its good when you visit me in my dreams I wish i didn't have to wake up from them. I will be by to see you and gramps in a few days for his bday.. Love and Miss You...

Hello there My Precious Angel,
Wow 3yrs where did the time go? I can't believe its been that long already. I was thinking the other day how you would always tell me how i was so strong and that sometimes you wish you could've been strong like me, Well my love the more i thought about what you have been through You are one of the most strongest woman I have known... So for that reason i came to the conclusion i am strong because your blood runs thru me and i'm like you. I love and miss you so much and i know one day we will be together again.

Happy Anniversary Ma,

Wow it would have been 55 years for you and Dad. Got a big party planned up there today? Things are still the same down here. The kids are growing up so fast. I miss you Ma. I really wish we had more time together. Pray that Amber makes it through this tough time. Talk to you soon.

Happy Belated birthday!!
You are so missed and never forgotton. It is so easy for everyday life to pass us by so fast. And sometimes I may take for granted the people I love. You and grandpa Currly and grandma and grandpa Krol are the only people close to me that I have lost. Thankfully I still have my grandma Flores. I can't even imagine what I do without her. I know that that people that love you have to be extremly strong and I love them all and prayer for God to give them strength.
Love you, Estella

Hi Ma,

Where has the time gone, two years have come and gone since you left us. Nothing and I mean nothing has been the same since you left. We had a good time visiting all of you and thinking about the good times we had when you were here. The four little ones are doing great. Johnathen, Ani and Rhianna are so cute and getting so big and Aubrie is just a cute, chubby little bundle of joy. It's unbelievable how fast Angel and Junior are growing up. Junior will be 16 tomorrow OMG. Soon they'll be men...arrrrgh we're getting so old. Breann and Brian are doing good too. When you look at them it's hard to believe they were so small when they were born. Breann is almost as big as me and Brian is just like his dad was when he was little. Well take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Hello My Precious Angel
I can not believe 2 years has past since you left me.. I miss you everyday there isn't a day that i don't think about you.. We were there today to see you. I find my strength to go on knowing that one day i will be with you again... Love and Miss You

Hi Ma,

Sorry it's been a while since I wrote, but I'm sure you here me everyday talking to you and dad. Happy belated Mother's Day. I don't know where the time is going these days. I can't believe it's almost June. I've been pretty busy working around the house these days. The kids are getting so big and they are all beautiful/handsome kids. I really miss you and Dad and living in the house gives me some comfort during those times. I was just watching a video last night with you in it and all kinds of feelings rushed through my body (sadness, joy, emptiness and then of course happiness). You were so funny in this video. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Hello my beautiful Angel,
Sorry its been a while. Merry xmas and Happy New Year. Well I hope things are better for you up there than me down here... My year hasn't been off to a good start but i will get thru it. I promised myself this year is going to be different for me and the kids i just had a minor set back. Miss and Love you so much. My jojo has been bringing you up alot lately. One day out of no where he came out of the room crying that he misses you and he remembers you were always sitting in the chair in the frontroom. Boy he sure had my waterworks going. Going to see dad in AZ next week for a couple days. Then i will be starting school.. yikes a little scared but im a quick learner plus i will have the chance to meet alot of new people. That's exactly what i need. Well good bye for now... love you

Hi Ma,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sorry it took so long, but things have been pretty hectic with the holidays and all. You and Dad have been on my mind a lot these days. Hope all is well. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday Ma,

Wow, if you were still here with us we'd be celebrating your 75th birthday today. Hard to believe. How are things going? Same thing down here. Christmas is coming faster and faster every year. The kids are getting so big. Made my first Thanksgiving dinner in years and it actually turned out pretty good. Made turkey soup with the leftover bird...not bad. I really miss you Ma. Hope all of you up there are having a wonderful time together. Talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday Beautiful... i love and miss you so much.. have a good day with grandpa and the rest of our family up there....

Hi Ma,

How are things? I miss you so much. Things are pretty nuts down here, but all I can do is take them day by day. Lots of things on my mind and I'm being pulled in different directions, but I always said everything happens for a reason. I'm not sure what the reason is for what's going on, but maybe some day I'll understand. Hope you and Dad are doing well. Kids are doing good and getting so big. I know You and Dad got a big kick out of Angel and Junior, but if you were here to see the three little ones you wouldn't believe what you see or hear from them. They're all so cute, funny and definitely have minds of their own. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Hello there My Angel,
I know i'm not going crazy my dream started as a dream last nite when i woke up and asked you the ? and then fell back to sleep to have my dream pick up where it left off I could only think that is what you want me to do. I feel i don't have the strength yet but if that is what you were trying to tell me in my dream I will try. come visit me in another dream like last nite so I don't have mixed emotions and signals about it. I love and miss you, You are always on my mind.

Hello there my beautiful Angel,
I had a dream about you and joe metych last nite it was weird. I miss you alot and think about you everyday. Will be by to visit you soon. Love you gram

Mom, I miss you very much. I wish you were still here with me.

Hi Ma,

God where is the time going? One year since you left us and Dad's been gone for five. Since you left us butterflies have been around me a lot and in my heart I've got to believe it's you. Hope you and Dad are doing well. Team up with Dad and prayer for all of us still left here we really need it. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Hello Beautiful,

I will be in the dells on your anniversary need to get away Hope you understand I need to keep my mind busy or i will go crazy that day. I love you gram there isn't a day that goes by that you ain't on my mind...

Hi Ma,

How are things? Hope you're doing well and are happy once again. I really miss you Ma. Things are not what I expected since you've been gone. But, I've got to tell you I have never felt so much at home as I do lately (I know you understand). Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Love Your Oldest Daughter

Hello Beautiful,
I am sorry it's been so long since i've wrote. Been up to see you a couple times but just been a lil crazy down here. Actually will be up in a couple days to see you and gramps. Miss both of you guys like crazy. We were in florida last week and i swear almost every night i had a dream that you were in someway. I want to believe you were missing me too so you came to visit me.. I think about you all the time, i can't believe it is going to be a year that you left me. I never even thought i'd make it but somehow i did. But believe me it hurts not having you hear to listen to me, hold me, kiss me. Make me feel like only you can. Well your lil guy, boy oh boy is he a hand full, he is nuts. Junior is good out of school already but had to go yesterday and today to make up his finals. He is going to Costa Rica next year with his spanish class so if i don't go please watch over him for me. Well gram I love and miss you and i will see you soon..

Hi Ma,

Life is really crazy these days. I'm sure things are good for you. Easter just wasn't the same as a matter of fact nothing is the same anymore. I guess you were the glue that held the family together. We celebrated Ani's birthday the other day, Johnathen and Rhianna's birthdays will be within the next two weeks. I can't believe how big they're getting. Junior and Angel are doing really well in school. Of course Angel is in his sports, but Junior is now in volleyball. Everything else is same crap different day. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma,
Love Your Oldest Daughter

Hello Beautiful,
Happy Easter Gram..... I love and miss you and really wish you were here. Be by to see you and Gramps soon.....

Hey Gram,
I have been here all day with you and uncle Bobby on my mind. It is just insane. He has been hanging in there the past 9hrs. I just know he will be happy to be back with his mother and father, and you and gramps. I really feel sorry for your sisters, they lost you now they are losing their baby brother. I thought I was hurt when i lost you I can't even imagine how much pain they are feeling. My prayers are with them. I love and miss you.

Hi Ma,

Well, it won't be long now before your baby brother is with you and the rest of our loved ones. Right now we're all getting ready to go see him for the last time. I've got such an empty feeling inside. I can't believe everything that's happening since you left. Pray for us down here and help us all get through this especially your sister because they had to make the hardest decision that I think anyone should have to make. I know you'll be there to welcome him with open arms and when you do please tell him how much he's going to be missed and how much we love him. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma

Hello My Beautiful Angel,
Well I had a dream about you the other day, and then i had a dream about my Aunt Mary last night. You two can come visit me in my dreams every night if you want to.... Well i miss you like crazy. I have been sick for about 6days now I went to dr yesterday they say i have the flu. All i know is i feel like i coughed up my lungs and everything else on the inside. So much pain in my rib cage. Well this great grandson of yours, lordy he is a handful, he is a lil con artist and he really knows how to play the adorable card... The girls better watch out for this one... Jr is doing good, getting really big. Well gram I love and miss you. Give gramps a kiss for us down here...

Hi Peg,

Bobby needs your help. He heard you talking to him last week. I hope what he heard was you praying for him. Keep a watch over him from up there.

Hi Ma,

How's it going? We need your prayers down here again, your baby brother isn't doing to well. All I do is think about death ever since Sori passed away and Uncle Bobby doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm always dreaming about people who have passed too. Hope it's not anything serious. Hope you and Dad are doing good. I really miss you two. Keep watching out for us and take care.

I Love You and Miss You Ma
Love Your Oldest Daughter

Hi Mom, thinking about you. Can't believe you have another loved one up there with you. Sori's death is so hard to accept. I just can't believe this has happened. Just want you to know that I think of you always. Yesterday was my first year anniversary with the hospital, can't believe how the time flew by. Miss you much Mom. Wish you were here to see your Anya. This girl is something else. She definitely would have made you smile and laugh.

Until tomorrow Mom,

Hi Ma,

How are things? I really miss you. Hey, I was telling Dad about the Sweethearts dance Saturday. I really miss watching you and Dad dance the Jitterbug. Well, you all have another one of our loved ones up there. I really can't believe Sodi (I hope I spelled it right) passed away. It's really scary because she was my age and had similar health issues. Well, take care of her and show her the ropes up there. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Hello there Beautiful,
I just was thinking about you as always, but I wanted to say hello and sorry it's been so long since I've wrote. I have been so busy. I wish this crazy weather would relax so I can go over to see you. I miss you sooooooooooo much. But I know you already know that.... Well I am going to get back to work. Love you

Hello My Angel,
Just wanted to wish you a belated Happy Anniversary. Was a little busy with johnathen yesterday being sick again... That's my life taking him back and forth to the dr's a few times a month... Well I miss you so much once this weather gets a lil better I will be there to see you guys.. Give gramps a kiss and hug for me.. Love and Miss you so much.

Hi Ma,

Happy Anniversary. You two weren't able to celebrate your 49th anniversary together because Dad left us a few months before and now the two of you are together once again to celebrate your union. So, what are you and Dad going to do for your anniversary, big party? Well, if you were here I'd be complaining how once again nine months before my birthday I'm reminded of how old I'm going to be. Actually, I wish you were here for me to complain to. Ma, I really miss our talks and I'm so sorry that we didn't talk more during the last few months you were here. I hope you know I was having a really hard time excepting the fact that you were leaving me and that you weren't going to be there to talk with me anymore. I really miss you Ma. The only thing that gets me through the day is knowing you're not in pain or suffering anymore and you're right where you belong with Dad. Prayer for us down here we need it. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Happy New Year Ma,

Well another year has come and gone and so much has changed. There's nothing special about the holidays anymore. I honestly think if we didn't have the little ones they wouldn't be celebrated at all. I need you Ma, I miss our talks. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and
days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your
picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part,
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.

Kelli Lynn

Happy New Year Mom,

As I told Dad, there wasn't much to celebrate. I miss you a lot. We'll see you soon.

Until tomorrow,

Merry Christmas Mom! As I told Dad, sorry that I didn't write but I did visit. Those damn dears didn't bother us either. This wasn't an easy holiday to get through. I miss you and Dad. I wish things could be the same again. It was just another day, and I'm sure that's how it's going to be from now on. Just another day. Glad you're watching over Sluggo drive in the cemetary. Now I know how you felt when I was learning how to drive. The kid makes me nervous. I told him to put on his left turning signal and the windshield wipers go off. It was funny! Well Mom the days aren't getting easier, and the pain is still there. I miss you very much. Love you!

Until tomorrow,

Kelli Lynn

Merry Christmas Ma,

Well this crazy day is finally coming to an end. Even with the Christmas dinner, presents and all the holiday spirit, it just wasn't the same without you and Dad. Things have really changed and somehow I knew they would once you were gone. You were the glue that kept all of your crazy 8 together. I really miss you Ma. I hope you're really happy where you are. Keep praying and looking out for us down here until we are together once again. Talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday Ma,

I've been thinking of you more than usual this week. Hope you're up there enjoying your birthday in whatever way makes you the happiest. I really miss you Ma and it's not getting any easier as the days go by. Time passes so quickly I can't believe it's going on six months since you left us. I can't believe we're ending another year. As you know, things have been falling apart down here since you left. Please keep praying for us and looking out for us like you did when you were here. We need it more than you know. Give me the strength and power to forgive the things that have hurt me so badly. I really wish things turned out differently, but they are what they are and I need your help. Keep praying for us and watching over us we really need it. Enjoy your day and I'll talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday!!

Words can never express how much I miss you.

Hi Ma,

Before things get more crazy I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out how we're going to get through the day. It was bad enough on the holidays without Dad and now we don't have either of you. You've been in my dreams a lot lately. Not sure if you're trying to send me a message or just visiting. Either way don't stop, if you coming to me in my dreams is the only way for me to see you I'll take it. Things down here are the same day after day. A few of us have been sick, but we're getting better. Hey, where's that buyer for the house? Hopefully, we'll get one quick. I really miss you Ma. I'm constantly wanting to pick up the phone and call you or drop by to visit and then reality hits. Have a good holiday Ma. I'll take to you soon.

Hello there beautiful,
I wrote you a lil poem twice already and for some reason they won't post it. Just wanted to say hello and that I miss you so much. I think about you always. Love you with all my heart...

Hello Beautiful,
Well I wrote you a little something last sunday and it never came through. So I am going to try again.

If you can't survive without your heart, how am I still alive
In these past few months the hole in it has tripled in size
On the outside I try & try to act like I'm fine
The truth is Gram, inside I've already died
Can't stop thinking I will wake up & this will have been just a dream
But as the days go by I know this nightmare is what it seems
Fell so empty, so alone, so lost, why did you have to leave me?
The love we have for each other was so obvious to see
Now I'm here without you & I really don't know what to do
You were my smile, my joy, my sunshine, my life isn't the same without you
Wil my baby remember what a wonderful grandmother he had?
Will he understand one day why mommy is so sad?
Thoughts mess with my head & I know they are so wrong
I know you'd be so disappointed in me but I can't find the strength to be strong
I talk to you & ask for the answers but I don't even know if you can hear me
Every second of everyday I wish you were still here with me
Why did we ever have to part?
What will happen when this hole completely takes over my heart?

Hi Mom, how are things? Doing ok down here. Busy with work, the kids, the house etc. Went to visit you, but those darn deers wouldn't let me. They just about attacked me and the kids. Hope you like your new headstones. The kids are getting big, Anya is something else. You would have laughed so hard at the things she's doing. Well Mom as the holidays near I'm getting more depressed just thinking you're not going to be here with us. It's going to be hard. I have to get back to work, miss you.

Until tomorrow,

Kelli Lynn

Hi Ma,

How are things up there? Better than down here I hope. Things just aren't the same. I miss you and Dad very much. How do you like the headstones? I think they look really nice. Had Brian's kids this weekend. They're getting so big. The Perez Haunted House was this weekend and they did a great job. It was a good time and Johnathen & Ani looked so cute in their costumes. Talk to you soon, take care.

Hey Grandma,
We went to go see you and grandpa for his b-day. I miss you guys very much. Everyone misses yous very very much. We took Breann and Brian. They are soo big now. Lil Brian was dancing for us, then Breann had to show him how it was done. Today is Aunt Kelli's haunted house. Angel says its very scary. I'll see, but it probably will be. My mom doesn't want to go in cuz there's gonna be a Michael Myers. For the tough woman that she is, a man in a mask will scare the heck out of her. So i'll talk to tou later.

Luv ya,

Boy do I miss you! Went to see gramps for his bday & visit you. The headstones are beautiful. I love them. Gram what in the world is going on down here. Everything and Everyone is just falling apart. Especially me. I hate not being able to hear your voice respond to me when I'm talking to you, always ask you for signs and don't know if the things that happen are just coincidence. I am not happy with life right now, not happy with alot of things but I get myself up every morning for the boys. It just seems for some reason I can't find happiness in anything. Am I really suppose to be this miserable for the rest of my life? Well sorry I haven't been writing as much I will try to keep up, but please know I am always thinking about you. Went to see Uncle Brian last wkend haven't seen him since dec I think he looks different really grey..lol.. Well for now my angel I will let you go. You will hear from me soon. Promise.... Love you

Hey Mom, thinking about you and Dad. Wishing things were different. Still hoping you'd show up one day. The kids are doing good. Not looking forward to the holidays. I just might be spending them alone this year. I'll write soon, but you'll see me sooner.

Until tomorrow Mom.

Hey Gram's,
Wow I can't believe a month has passed since i've wrote to you. I guess since I talk to you so much out loud i didn't realize how much time went by... I think about you every minute of everyday. My ma made a dvd of you and i watched it the other day and well you know what happened. I swear every lil thing can remind me of you and then i start to cry... The other day I was driving down the street and I seen a sign for polka music, started balling. Yesterday i was looking thru xmas magazines and like every couple pages it said something for granddaughter or grandmother, to know i won't be shopping for a gift for this xmas just broke me down. I love and miss you like crazy. I haven't forgot about you for one minute. Ive been trying to get by the cemetery for the last week cause of your 3mth anniversary I will get there soon i promise. Until we meet again I love you....

Hi Ma,

Well, I had another weird dream about you the other night. Are you trying to tell me something? Maybe you're just hinting that it's time I write to you. I've been thinking a lot about you and Dad. I had a really rough time this past weekend working on your DVD, but I finally finished it and I'm working on making copies for everyone that wants one. Things just aren't the same anymore. I'm really regretting the holidays because I know they just won't be the same without you. It was bad enough getting together after Dad passed, but now we don't even have you. You're crazy 8 seem to be splitting up and going their own separate ways. It's a real shame. I hope you and Dad are doing well. I really miss you two. The kids are doing good. Junior and Angel were so handsome Saturday in their tuxedos and their dances were just wonderful. Those two are growing up so darn fast it's scarry. I'm sure you and Dad would be very proud of them, I know I am. The three little ones all have minds of their own, three little bosses. Well that's what they think anyway. Talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma

Had the urge to call you today as I do most days. Felt empty inside when I realized I couldn't. I miss you Mom, I really do. There's a void in my life and it hurts. So many things I want to share with you. I hope you're going to like your plot markers Pam and I picked for you. We got matching one for you and Dad.

Miss you a lot!

Until tomorrow,

Hi Ma,

Well, we did the Light The Night Walk again on Saturday. The hardest thing though was you weren't there with us, well not with us physically. We did have some butterflies make an appearance (was that you?) We had a lot of support with us this year Ma. Everyone walking in memory of you. Some of us also wrote to you and the memory banner. Had a few lookers at the house Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed. Hope you're doing well and say hi to Dad for me.

I Love You and Miss You Ma

Hi Ma,

Well, was that you in my room last night? At 4 a.m. I woke to people talking and thought it was my alarm, then I realized my TV turned on and just as I reached for the remote to shut it off the TV went off by itself (naughty, naughty). We're having an open house Sunday, don't go scaring away any prospective buyers. Instead, send us someone who thinks the house is just perfect for them. We've been cleaning out the house and what a project it is. Well, Ma it's really crazy down here, I'm sure you and Dad see it. It seems like you two are the only ones I can talk to these days. I don't know if everyone has reached their breaking point or if they're just stressed out. Keep an eye out for everyone down here and pray we all get through whatever it is we're going through. The kids seem to be doing okay, Johnathen, Ani and Rhianna are as bossy as ever (wonder where they get that from, huh). But, they're so darn adorable and I love them all to death. Junior and Angel are doing well too. Junior said he only liked the first day of school because the second day he was loaded with homework. Miss you Ma, I think about you every single day. I never thought we would lose you and Dad at such an early age and so close to each other. I guess we all need to stop and appreciate what we have because we never know when it'll be taken from us. Take care and I'll be talking to you soon.

Hello Gram's,
Just wanted to say hello, things are about to get a lil hectic for me so I might get a lil busy and not be able to write as much but believe me I think about you always. Johnathen's in daycare all week now, he likes it though. Jr isn't to happy with h.s he gets alot of homework being in those honor classes. And me going back to work after 5yrs. Yikes... It's a lil scary but I did it for 9years before so I'll be fine.. Well gram I will talk to you later. Love you....

And I'm sorry.....

Love Becky

Hi Mom, thinking about you as I always do. I was talking about you today to one of my friends that just lost her father. Trying to give her some advice on how to cope, although its not easy it's something we have to do. So far Sluggo is liking High School, he's a little weird if you ask me. I hated school. Anya is being a boss as usual. She's been off the bottle for 11 days now, she doesn't even need a sippy cup. When it's bed time she goes right to sleep. We went to mass on Sunday for Grandma's 25th Anniversary of her death. I couldn't believe it. We visited you all at the cemetery too. Pam and I are getting your headstone hopefully this weekend. Enough time has passed to let the ground settle. I just wanted to drop a note to say Hi and that I love and miss you much. Until we meet again Mom,

Hey Gram,
How are you doing beautiful? I know you're happy that your back with gramps. I can not believe that two months has passed. I miss you so much. I had been trying to avoid going passed the house but i had no choice twice last week and since then i can't stop crying. I think to myself all the time that you are in a better place and you're not in any pain but still i want you back here with me or me up there with you... I'm sorry i didn't get to stop by today but i will be there to see you tomorrow. Junior's in H.s and Johnathen is in daycare so i will be there alone. Boy we cut johnathen's hair short and he looks so different, cute but different. Gram i was in bed reading some of the stuff i wrote you and gramps and i just lost it. I am so upset that i wasn't able to write you something beautiful before you left. I did put out the last letter i wrote you just like you asked but it didn't feel the same to me. Butterflies, butterflies, butterflies that is all that is around us since you've been gone. It's crazy i went and got a tattoo of an angel crying over a stone they day after you passed but now i feel i need to get a butterfly for some reason i want to believe it's you. I love you beautiful and I miss you so much.. Can't wait for the day I am reunited with my Angel....

Hi Ma,

Two months have come and gone since you left us. I just don't know where the time is going, all I know is it's going fast. Last week Kelli and I were going to the house to clean up and she called me asking me to hurry up because someone kept closing the bathroom door on her. Was that you giving Kelli a little scare or maybe it was Dad playing a little joke? I really miss you Ma. I was thinking a lot about you Sunday. My friend Karen had a Hawaiian luau and I felt so bad that we never made it to Hawaii with you. Hopefully, you're in paradise now. Take care and I'll take to you soon.

Hello there beautiful,
I know it's been a while since I've wrote to you, but you know you are on my mind always. Ever second of every minute of every hour of every day.... I miss you more than anyone can imagine and I know i'm not the only one... Crazy thing about the butterflies I was about to write you and i went to wash dishes first and a white butterfly was outside my window... If that is you and i am so glad you are still coming around us.. Unbelievable how many butterflies have came around us since you've left. Well I am going to see you some time this week... I had to go by the house the other night for the first time it was really hard I thought i was okay til i dropped my mom off and the tears started rolling down in my driveway. Well i know you are in a better place and you aren't suffering anymore. I know you didn't want this but it seems since you've left me I'm the one in all the pain and I suffer everyday without you... Love you Grams talk to you soon....

Hi Ma,

How are you doing? Hope all is well now that you're up there. Read Kelli's note to you and she's right. Ever since the day at the cemetery butterflies have been around me every where I go. I just keep believing it's you and Dad with us all the time. We may not see you, but we know you're there. I really miss you and Dad. I know life goes on, but it's still pretty hard. Take care and I'll be seeing you fluttering around.

Hi Mom, just sitting here at work thinking of you and Dad. I talked to Brian yesterday, his first words to me were how he missed you. I miss you too! A lot. More than anyone knows. Angel's starting High School in one week, can you believe that. The one you took to pre school is on his way to High School. And your Anya is something else. She loves to shake her booty. I wish you could see her, I wish she could see you. It's hard down here without you. And I know it's only going to get harder as the holiday's near. The last couple weeks whenever we're in my yard butterfly's appear and stay there for a while. I believe it's you and Dad. I'll be seeing you on Wednesday, stopping by to say hey.

I love and miss you a lot.

Until we meet again.

Hi Ma,

Been thinking of you a lot lately, always wanting to call you or stop by for a visit. I had the weirdest dream last night, actually not sure if it was a dream at all. But, I saw you walking up and down the hall in your house in a night gown (the kind Grandma Kalafut use to wear). I just kept seeing you walk up and down the hall (are you really there). The alarm woke me up so I didn't get to see anything else. Well, you know we finally put the house up for sale keep your fingers crossed that it sells quick. The kids are doing good, getting big and bossy especially Johnathan & Ani even Rhianna is starting to chime in. I really miss you Ma hope you and Dad are doing good. I still can't believe we lost you so soon after Dad. The strangest thing is I remember you saying after Dad past that you probably would be gone within 5 years because that's what statistics were saying. Junior and Angel will be going to High School in a few weeks. I can't believe it, there growing so fast. We're going to Florida soon like it's not hot enough here right. Talk to you soon Ma.

Hello there beautiful,
I told you it was too soon for me. I think i kept telling myself this was all a dream but when i went to go visit gramps yesterday reality set in the moment i got out of my truck... I miss you so much gram!! I don't know why you had to leave me so soon I have no one to talk to or confide in. There are so many new things going on in my life and i want to share them with you and i can't. Well the boys are doing good. I love you always I will be seeing you tomorrow again I can not believe it is already a month without you here with me it's crazy how fast the time went. I hope sooner or later this will get a little easier. Talk to you soon.... love always

Hi Ma,

I miss you very much. I'm always getting the urge to call you on my way home from work and then I realize you're not there to answer. I hope you're happy now because that's the only thing that's helping me get through this. I just can't believe Dad's gone 4 years now and Saturday it'll be 1 month since you left us. The kids are getting so big and they're just so darn cute. Talked to Brian yesterday, look after him he doesn't sound to good. He's been depressed lately and doesn't want to talk or write to anyone. Help him get through this Ma. Talk to you soon.

I Love You and Miss You Ma

Hello Gram,
Just wanted to say hi and let you know i am thinking about you. I went to church sunday and they sang one of the songs from your service my eyes watered up then i looked around and two other women were crying i felt bad for them cause if they lost someone as important as you are to me i understand their pain. Well gram i have been trying to get the strength to go see you at the cemetery and i know i will get there soon it's just hard for me right now i know you understand. Well gram i just wanted you to know how much i miss you can't believe it's almost a month that's crazy. I will let you go for now but know i love you....

In a few days, it'll be one month since you left us and 4 years since Dad's been gone. I can't believe how fast the time is going. It seems like just yesterday. I miss you so much Mom. I miss talking to you everyday on my way home from work. My heart actually aches when I realize I can't call you anymore. Angel's graduation party is Saturday, send me a sign that you're there with us. Anya is doing good. I'm sure she misses you too. The other day out of nowhere she said Grandma Josie. I laughed and then thought why would she say that. What's going through her head. Well just wanted to let you know how I'm feeling. I'll talk to you soon. Love you.

Until tomorrow.

Your spoiled one.

hey gram
guess what.........
my party is comin up in like a week it to bad u couldn't be here but we know where you are. i can't get over the fact that you aren't here it doesn't make sense like we were just eating and anya was playin with some pictures and then i looked and it was the walk we did for you it seems like it was just yesterday and remember the one time we were playin by the hose and then that guy came and started laughing with us. well theres alot to remember and more memories pop into my mind every day, its unbelievable but what can you do. well im gonna go see ya

Went to call you again today, then realized you wouldn't be answering. I hate that feeling. Wish you were still here with us. Your Anya is something else.

Until we meet again.

Hi Ma,

Well, as you know it didn't end with you. I can't believe how things happen for us. Even though I don't write to you every day please know that I'm thinking of you each and every minute of each and every day. I knew this was coming for over two years, but for some reason it just doesn't hurt any less. The only thing that's helping me get through this is that you're in a better place now and you're not suffering anymore. It was killing me inside to watch you suffer each and every day. I hope you're happier now that you're with Dad and all of our loved ones that have passed. Keep an eye out for us down here and pray for us (lord knows we need it). Take care Ma and keep your ears open because I'll be talking to you soon.

Just thinking about you as I usually do. Want you to know that I miss you a lot. Sometimes I'm in the car or at my desk and I think to myself that I have to call you since I haven't talked to you in a while, then I realize I can't. I know you know this Mom but life does go on after death, you know I have things to take care of. If I didn't, who would. I think of you and Dad everyday, all the time and I love you and miss you a lot.

Until we meet again Mom,

Good afternoon My Beautiful Angel,
Today's a bad day, i just feel so i don't even know the word i'm looking for. I miss you so much, I still feel like i am in dream and this isn't real. I really want to come see you today at the cemetery but I just don't know if i am ready. Please understand. I love you so much and I am here trying to hold everything together but it is so difficult. I usually call you when i have problems and now I can't. There are a few people that i know i can go to but it's just not the same. I miss our talks so much. I have our picture up on my entertainment center and we look so happy together, I am glad we took it so i have it to remember you by. I can't believe how 3 people passed away again what it is with our family that it always has to be in 3's it's nuts. Well gram i think for now i am going to let you go. You will hear from me soon. Love and Miss you Dearly
