I miss my mom so much

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I thought about you today. It´s odd how little I truly had known you, but how much of an impact you had on my young soul just by eating your mini wheats and watching me play a game on the ps2. I don´t know if I ever even got a chance to tell you, but I love you and I can´t wait to make up lost time being in eternity with you and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I MISS YOU, I NEED YOU, I LOVE YOU

Happy Bithday Mom!
Your My Favorite!
Love Cindy!

Happy Birthday Momma, I miss you sooooooooooooo much words can not express everyday I speak to you and I try to listen for your advise or encouraging words.Time does not heal all wounds because when your heart is involved its an everlasting ache till the void is filled,you are not forgotten and I know my brother is there to celebrate your birthday with you and I hope you watch us from heaven and see we are celebrating with you as well........barb

Sandy;
First thing this morning there was a pure white butterfly in the back yard, of course my dog was trying to eat it but it made me think of you, so I just wanted to say...Thinking of you today and hoping you and John are at peace, please continue to watch over everyone and please give my mom and john a big hug from me (also ask them to watch closely over my dad) Love and miss you...until we meet in eternity
Love Lisa

JULY 31st WAS A VERY SAD DAY WHEN YOU WENT AWAY FROM US!

Momma, Today I celebrate your birthday and I will try to be happy,I remember you saying how the last few birthdays before you passed were not happy due to your cancer and the sad and painfull news you received on the 2 prior to your passing,and you said you did not want to be here on earth and feeling the way you did for another birthday so you left the last day of the prior month to your birthday so today I will try to find happiness knowing there is no more pain or sad news but joy love and beauty there in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. Happy Birthday Mom...............barb

HELLO SIS, IT IS AUGUST THE 2ND AND I HAVE BEEN FEELING VERY LOW SINCE SUNDAY. I KNOW NOW THAT IT WAS JULY 29TH WHEN YOU DRIFTED FROM US. IT WAS JULY 31 WHEN YOU LEFT YOUR BODY.IT WAS AUG.4TH WHEN WE ALL SAID GOOD-BYE. HOWEVER THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A BAD YEAR FOR ME FOR I HAVE LOST MY SISTER AND MY BEST FRIEND. EVERYDAY IS A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR ME, BUT FOR THE PAST WEEK I SEE YOU EVERY MORNING. I KNOW AND FEEL IT BECAUSE YOU SEND ME THE SAME WHITE BUTTERFLY EVERYDAY,EVER MORNING SINCE SUNDAY. I MISS OUR LITTLE TIT-FOR TATS. I MISS YOUR LAUGHTER AND YOUR SMILE. BUT WHEN SITUATIONS GET TO A POINT I FEEL LIKE I CAN NO LONGER BARE THEM. THEN I REMIND MYSELF OF ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WENT THRU AND ALL THE WHILE WITH A SMILE. I CAN HEAR YOU TALKING TO ME AT TIMES BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING AT ME THEN I REMEMBER THATS HOW YOU GET MY MIND OFF OF WHAT IS BOTHERING ME. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WITH US ALL EVERY DAY LOOKING OUT FOR THOSE THAT NEED IT THE MOST ON THOSE GIVEN TIMES. I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU ARE WITH MOM,SONNY,AND FREIDA AND YOU ARE ALL HAVING A GREAT REUNION, AND PREPARING THE WAY FOR US WHEN IT IS OUR TIME. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO, WISH YOU WERE HERE GET ANGRY THAT GOD TOOK YOU FROM US SO SOON. THERE WAS A LOT MORE YOU COULD OF DONE FOR US. I PERSONNALLY WILL DO MY BEST TO DO THE THINGS THAT I AM ABLE TO DO. FOR I REMIND MYSELF EVERYDAY THAT IF MY SISTER HAD THAT MUCH COURAGE,STRENGHT,WILL POWER TO DO THINGS SHE HAD TO DO,ALL THE TIME SHE WAS SICK AND DID NOT KNOW IT. THEN I WILL HOLD ON TO THAT IMAGE AND REMAIN STRONG. THE ONE MEMORY THAT KEEPS RETURNING TO ME IS WHEN WE GOT THE NEWS THAT YOUR CANCER HAD SPREAD. I WAS SO EMOTIONAL AND FELT SO HELPLESS BUT YOU TOOK ME IN YOUR ARMS AND LET ME CRY AND YOU HELD ME LIKE I WAS YOUR BABY. I WILL NEVER FORGET AND I THANK GOD FOR THAT. REST IN PEACE DEAR SISTER FOR THE HEALING WILL TAKE ALONG TIME. BUT WITH EACH AND EVERY DAY THAT PASSES THE CLOSER I GET TO YOU.
I WILL END THIS NOW JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR GREAT GREAT NEPHEW JACOB MISSES YOU AND IS HAPPY YOU ARE ON YOUR CLOUD BUT WISHES EVERY NIGHT YOU WERE HERE. AND JOEY WAS YOUR FAVORITE,I GUESS YOU MADE AN IMPRESSION ON MY PRECIOUS GRANDSON. I DO NOT WANT TO OFFEND YOUR CHILDREN,JOHN,BARB,CINDY,BUT THE ONLY THING LEFT I NEED TO SAY IS I LOVE YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.

TODAY IS JULY 31st
THE DAY I WENT INTO LABOR WITH YOUR GRANDSON KEITH IN 1997 AND THE FIRST ANNIVERSERY OF YOUR DEATH!

A new year and new ways of life to get use to,there are many of us that just stop and wish you were here to share in what lies ahead for the year 2007 but we are learning to go on and share all the events with you in our hearts,minds and dreams.your missed soooo much more than imaginable and there is an emptiness in our lifes that with each other we make as bareable as possible.I wish the year would have started better but some things dont change.I feel sad without you and wonder if i could have done something more something better so there would have been more time but just as i will always miss you I will always wonder.If God had let us interview for parents my choice would have been you and we your children were so very blessed to have a mother who could express love and tenderness.The lessons you taught us will be used and the love shared.We will strife to make you proud that we are your children.Butterflies has become a beautifull symbol in which we find peace with our memories of you,I wear a beautifull pendant on my neck,a gift from my brother,letting me know that like you he will also always be there.MOM I miss you and keep you close to my heart!!!!!!

Twas the days before Christmas
and in everyones heart
the best part is missing
the seeing you part.
Were all feeling sad
and filled with despair
knowing you"ll never again be there.
Often were nestled
all snug in our beds
while memories we shared with you
dance in our heads.
Never again to have kids on your lap
it broke all our hearts
as you took your last nap.
When the phone rang one morning
with such a sad clatter
i could tell right away
something bad was the matter.
To be by your side
i had rushed in a hurry
from your face had been gone
all the pain and the worry.
If granted one wish
as i gaze through my tears
its to keep strong the memories
of you through the years.
If you had one more Christmas
this is how it would go
first you"d lighten our hearts
with your words,that i know.
For a once happy lady
so lively and quick
you"d tell us be happy
im no longer sick.
As spoken by an angel
we"d hear your voice as it came
you"d hug us and kiss us
and call us by name.
Now John,Barb,and Cindy
Nephews and Nieces
Sisters and Brothers
please dont fall to pieces.
Now Grandkids and Great ones
we"d hear you voice call.
Now live for me! live for me!
live for me all!
Embrace life as i did
never worry too much
and whenever you need me
you"ll feel my hearts touch.
With a blink of your eye
and a twist from your head
You would tell us remember,
only my body is dead.
That your now with the angels
past the stars and the moon.
Now goodnight and i love you
and i"ll see you all soon!!!!

I miss you so much Mom,
Merry Christmas.
John

Im Thinking Of You Mom!

It's too bad I never got to spend more time with you before it was too late...I wish you could've had the chance to get to know me..I had wanted to fill you in on so much but wasn't able to..I wanted to really know you,too to hear your full life tale...It's too bad but life is full of regrets..I have some fond memories ..and I do feel as if we had a little special connection and I can honestly say that..I know things will not be the same...you are greatly missed by many it seems..you are fortuntate for that..my mother lost her best friend...

I FIND MYSELF THINKING ABOUT YOU ALOT LATELY. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I'M A MONTH AWAY FROM HAVING THE BABY OR WHAT BUT I MISS YOU SO MUCH. LIFE JUST ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU AROUND. I TRY TO BE STRONG FOR ALYSSA AND KAYLA AND FOR MY MOM BUT IT GETS REAL HARD SOMETIMES. I HAD THOUGHT PULLING MYSELF AWAY FROM YOU THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU WERE HERE WITH US WOULD HELP ME LEARN NOT TO HAVE YOU BUT NOW I FIND MYSELF REGREETING NOT SPENDING EVERYDAY WITH YOU. YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND TO BE HONEST I FEEL SO LOST WITHOUT YOU. WE USE TO TALK EVERYDAY, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY LAUGH ABOUT THE CRAZY THINGS THE GIRLS HAVE DONE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. YOU ALWAYS NEW WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY A THING AND YOU KNEW. YOU KNEW ME BETTER THEN I EVEN KNEW MYSELF. WELL I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS I MISS YOU SO MUCH GRAMMA, SO VERY MUCH AND I HOPE NOW YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU AND TREASURED YOU CAUSE NO WORDS COULD DESCIRBE THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU IN MY HEART. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

IN HEAVEN

UP TO HEAVEN MY MOTHER DID GO

GOD I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SO

MY HEART IS HEAVY WHEN I THINK OF YOU,BUT I WILL BE OK BECAUSE I HAVE MY JOO JOO.

YEAR AFTER YEAR HOW I WISH KEITH WAS HERE

AS REMINDERS OF HIM ARE ALWAYS SO NEAR.

MY SWEET BABY BOY,I LOVE YOU TRUE

YOUR GRANDMA HAS COME TO WATCH OVER YOU.

SHE WILL SING YOU LULLABYS AND HOLD YOU TIGHT

IN THE EVERLASTING LIGHT.

COMFORT AND PEACE IS WHAT I NOW FIND

THAT IN THE AFTERWORLD YOU TWO WILL BIND.

NOW THAT YOUR BOTH IN HEAVEN TOGETHER

I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS FOREVER AND EVER.

your aunt marie

God needed one more to fill the empty space,

he looked around the room and saw your sweet face,

when you stopped breathing,

we knew you were gone,

you went so peacefully,

so we knew you chose the right home,

we knew your skies weren't so blue,

and the roads were getting too tough for you,

but you fought that fight,

and you did the best you could do,

the best part was you didn't die alone,

the day God sent you home.

Barb an Family

No words can express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Your mother was a great person and will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her. I know it is extremely tough for you right now, and will be for sometime to come, but it does get easier with time. Always remember that your mother is in a better place now, she is not suffering, and she is with Hattie. You will always have your memories and she will be with you always, even though you can’t see her, know that she is there watching over all of you. God bless you and remember you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Lisa

Barb and Theresa,



I know we havent been in touch lately but please know that my thought and prayers are with all of you at this time. I know how close you were with your Mom and Gramma. It is really a hard thing to cope with. I know the feeling, My mom is gone now too and my brother Jimmy just passed away in March. Please know that she is now more peaceful than ever, and that she is back with her mother now.

Always be Thankful that you had someone soooo special in your lives.



I am thinking of both of you at this terrible time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
