Dear mom, yesterday we buried you.I know that you are happy,because of your faith and that you are up there with a welcoming parade of loved ones. I want you to pray for me to give me the strength to go on,because today I don't feel that I can go on. Every where I look I see your presence. I know I have the kind of family that people only dream of, so today that is how I will go on. Your presence will be in my heart every day. Hopefully the terrible emptiness I feel will ease up as my life goes on. I hope to enjoy my children as you have yours. I want to thank you for helping me and John raise two wounderful children. I give you a lot of credit for that too. Thank you for a wounderful life full of love and happiness. Say hi to dad and Liz for me and learn as much about her as possible because she is a very special lady as you know.

I love you with all my heart and soul. My children need me now more than ever because I'm sure they are feeling everything I am. They don't know their life without you. I think that they are very lucky to have had you in their life always. and together we will all go on with you in our hearts each and every day. Thanks again, and I'll always love you. Love your daughter and best friend Debbie

Mary,



Thank you for Don. You are the mother I received the day I wed your son. You also helped take the place of My Mom. I want to thank you for the things that you have done. You have given me a loving man, with whom I share my life. You are his lovely mother, I his lucky wife. You used to pat his little head and I now hold his hand. You raised in love a little boy then gave to me a man. I also want to thank you for Debbie, I now have another sister to love, cherish and abuse.



Thanks for all you have done for me.



Love Always,

Anne
