I know you are in a better place now and I want to say that I miss you and our luncheons that we enjoyed so much. We will all see each other again one day.

As a family, you are all now together. You are terribly missed here, but I know the joy you have with your boys around you. You will never be forgotten.

Seems like yesterday and seems like a long time ago- you are missed so much. I see you in the flower beds that you loved so much, your son speaks so often of you. Hopefully someday we will all be together again.

Hi Mary,
It will be a year tomorrow since you went to Heaven. I think of you often and mostly that look you gave me and you kinda went "hmmmm" when I told you something you didn't entirely agree with. Like we're going to the doctors today. LOL You made me laugh so much. I think about our lunches with orange roughy, cole slaw and a baked potato. We must have ate that same lunch a hundred times. You loved it, and I learned too. I know you are happy and at peace now and someday I will see you again.
Love ya much
June

Hi Mary,
Its almost Christmas and I was thinking about how we decorated your house a couple of years ago and how beautiful it was. You will be missed on Christmas but I know the decorations are even better where you are.
Merry Christmas Mary

It has been such a short time since you left us. I know you are with Daddy and dancing! There Is an empty place here on earth. I miss your calls to Joe, I know he misses you so much. It seems so empty without you, but I feel you watch over.You are in our hearts and can never really be gone.Rest well and know you are loved and missed by so many

Hi Mary,
I want you to know I was thinking about you and miss you saying "Hi Hon" when I walk in the door. I know you are now free and happy and probably feeding all the birds. I learned a lot from you and will always remember you
