Mom, You left us a year ago and not a moment goes by that I don't think about you. I miss talking to you.
Renee misses you too, she never stops talking about you. She always says "GG's with the monkey" because of a picture she loves of you.
Mom I know your happy with Dad and I know your looking down of us.
I love you so so much!!! XOXOXO

It has been a year without my mom, and missing her never fades. I know I am missing out on so much with out her, but at the same time I know that she gave me more than any mother could possibly give their child. She was beautiful and I will always cherish what I had with her because no one can compare.
I know that she is watching over me, I want to live to make her proud.
She still is, and will always be my mommy. Most of all, I can not wait for the day that I can see her again.
I love you mom, so so much.

Mary ,our time was short together, but not without its moments. You have given me so much with all the good times that made me smile and laugh. I will never forget you.It is said, that it is better to have loved and lost, than never have loved at all. I would not trade it for anything.You will be missed by so many,our time together means so much. you will always be in my heart.

Rest in Peace my friend, Love, Barb Oling P.S. We will meet again.

Powley and Vajko Families,
I am so sorry for your loss.
I will always remember Mary Therese as the friendly little girl who grew up 2 doors away and was willing to babysit or help a neighbor. Over the years, whenever she saw me outside, she would stop and let me know what was going on in her life and how the family was doing. I saw her a little over a week ago, ham sandwich in a bag, on her way to visit her Mom in the hospital.
She will be missed, especially her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes.
May God bless you all. You are in my prayers.
Your neighbor,
