Mom. You were always my number one ally. When I was little, I brought you my broken toys because I knew that you could fix them. There was nothing you couldn“t do. You were always there for me and until I take my last breath, I will always love and miss you. My biggest regret is not being the son that you deserved and for not being there for you when you needed me. You are with me all the time. You know that I made it out and I can feel your presence. I love you mom

Hi Rose:

Sorry I did not write to you yesterday on Christmas but it was hectic. I talked to Laura yesterday and she is doing as best as she can without you. She said that in the morning she went down to your apartment and had Xmas with you. Kim and her family, Gina and Brett and John were here. I thought about you all day in between cooking and Anna opening gifts. I know this is the last time I can write to you. so Happy Birthday and when I write to Frannie I will include you in my letters. I love and miss you very much.I guess this will be Good-Bye for real. I want you to know you will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. I just got off the phone with Joey and he is doing ok. He misses you. Joe told me that Heather told Nick that they are brother and sister. But I think you know that already. Well rose I have to go because I want to write to Frannie. Love you.

Hi Rose:
Sorry I did not write to you for Thanksgiving. Gosh I can't believe your year is almost here. There are times I want to pick up the phone and call you. I talk to Laura and Joe. I spoke to Joe on 11/30 and he is doing fine. He was telling me that he went in front of a jury on 11/2 to explain the reason they sent him to Tamms. The
jury sided with him. Now he wants to see if someone can get him out of the section he is in. I hope they can help him. He fineally got to hear from Nicholas. Stella is coming today to start to bake cookies for Christmas. I'm working part time with Gina in the office helping the with filing and to help get them cleaned up. I'll have just one more time to write to you around Christmas. Talk to you later.
Love and miss you

Hi Rose:

I just wrote to Fran. Happy 4th of July. I sent up 3 baloons to you and Frannie. I tried to write a few minutes ago but I guess it did not take. Gene & I are going on Hal's boat to see the fireworks if it does not rain. Say Hi to everyone and wish them
a Happy 4th for us. Have to go. Love and miss you very much.

Hi Aunt Rose,
I want to wish you and everyone with you a very very Happy Easter!! Give Uncle Joe a hug from me and tell him that I also miss him. I went through my cell phone the other day and seen your name I wanted to call it and see how you have been doing and then I remembered you were not there any more. I had to take it out of my phone so I am not temped to call you like that again. I have to go to the doctor on the 20th. they found some sist's in my overies and something growing in my uterus. I was also told that now my thyroid is slow and and now on meds for that and also my blood count is low for what ever reason. Johnny askes my mom why I catch everything I just tell him because God has a sence of humor and likes to use it on me. Wow this is nice to talk to you but it's not really the same I can't here whay you have to say back to me. Well I have to go for now and I promise I will write you again soon. I will let you know what the Doctor has to say when I come home.
I Love and Miss You. Kim

Hi Rose:

Its me, Marie. Just want to say Happy Birthday. I miss you. It was hard not to pick up the phone and talk to you today. Blanch needs a
fibulator for her heart. She wants to wait until she is finished bowling. I
hope she changes her mind and does it soon. Anna has a new hair cut and she looks so grown up. I saw you in my sleep and you looked
good and you even hugged me so I
hope that means you are all right. I
have to go now. I will write again.
Love and miss you'

Dear Rose:
It's me Marie. I knew that I would not see you any more when I left on the 15th of December. I did'nt want to leave at that time but I had to get home to Gene too make sure he was alright. I was hoping that you would come home and Stella and I were going to go back to Chicago and stay with you again. But I guess God wanted you more and he took you home on Christmas morning. I know you were tired also. I heard it in your voice. Just know how much you are loved and missed. I called you when ever I had a problem and when we talked about it you always seemed to understand. Who do I talk to now? Well I have to go for now. I will write again. I love and miss you.

Love Marie

Dear Laura and Joe:
In this new year, I'm trying to be grateful for all that I have, have had, and for all the good that is still to come in my life. Knowing Rosie and having her love and friendship all my life, will always be something I'm eternally grateful for. Thanks to Ro, we're all left with beautiful memories of so many great times in our lives. I'll never forget her, and will always love and cherish her and our memories....

Dear Aunt Rose,
I'm sorry I couldn't be there to say good-bye to you in person and to let you know just how much I am going to miss you. I find myself thinking about you and wanting to call to see how you are doing but then I remember your not there anymore. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to call and wish you a Merry Christmas like I have all the other years. I want to wish you a Happy New Year to you and all that are with you at this time. I know you are at peace and happy with out any pain. My heart breaks for Laura and Joe but they will find peace someday. I will say a prayer for them to help them heal. I know the pain will never go away but it will get easier to live with. I told my mom that god has answered my preyer for you and for that I'm greatful. My wish for you now is to
sleep well and stay happy.Tell Aunt Fran,Aunt Anna,Grandma,Grandpa(even though I never met him) and all the rest of the family that I don't know I said hi I love them and Happy New Year!! I will miss you forever. Here is Anna's latest picture for you to take with you.
Love,
