Happy Thanksgiving Mom and Dad...
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Sonny and my family, thanks to you Mom, who has taught me everything. From the time I was little, you and I would make the Thanksgiving dinner while the boys went hunting with Daddy. Our dinner today was like eating what you have just prepared. I made everything that you always make. You must of been here with me. Everything was just like Grandmas, straight from heaven. I miss you both dearly. You Will always be a big part of me. Half Mom...Half Dad. I remember everything you said to me during our last days. I am my mother's daughter and yes, Mama I'm doing it, just like you said I could Thank you for trusting me enough to let go and know that I would be all right. I am strong because of you. I miss you and Daddy but I am thankful for all you gave me and taught me. I am a caregiver, cook, housekeeper, plumber, electrician, painter, nurse, seamstress, etc. When I was growing up I didn't want to be a teacher, lawyer, nurse, or want any other career. I just wanted to grow up and be a mom and wife just like you. I wanted to be you. Thanks for the great career. God, thank you for my parents. They did good. I reflect on my life with Thanksgiving this season feeling contented and loved.
Love, De bor ah

Happy Thanksgiving Mom and Dad! Mom, today is the first Thanksgiving that I will not be able to see you and that is hurting more than ever. I have so much to be thankful for in my life, and I am, however, not having you here, is still very painful. I have many memories of thanksgivings past. I smile when I think about walking into your house on Thanksgiving and seeing you running around in your robe and your hair a mess because you didn't have time to brush it. I miss the smell of the turkey in the bag, the sweet potatoes and stuffing, but most of all I miss the smell of you. I know it's time to start making traditions of my own, but I am not ready for that and wonder if I ever will be. I will spend this Thanksgiving being thankful for the wonderful memories of Thanksgiving that you left with me. I'm only going to attempt to make your broccoli and rice today as a memory of you for the kids! They loved your broccoli and rice!!! They will love that memory of you today as we pray for you and what we are thankful for! I miss you mom and love you even more. I love you more today than I did last Thanksgiving! Your loving daughter,

Well, it still feels like yesterday. We miss you so much. Sonny and I are at a loss. Decades of memories, good times and bad. We miss you still and keep wishing for the impossible. Thanks giving is coming up. A birthday, too. I remember Daddy and you telling me stories of the blessed event. We would all laugh at the way Daddy would spin the tale. I always thought it would make a good comedic scene for a movie. But at he time it must of been just dreadful. Thank you Mommy. This will be my first birthday without you. No phone call saying, "58 years ago I was in labor". Several more calls of "I'm still in labor". Then the final call,"Happy Birthday" my love.
I will miss you on the 13th but I have my story and 57 years of sharing our special day.
Loving you still,
Deborah Anne

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven my dearest Mother!
Days have come and gone and things still don't seem real. When you got sick again, I truly felt like this was one of those obstacles that you would attack and conquer. Losing you so quickly was so shocking. I'm still numb and am struggling with so many things. This is the first Mother's Day that I won't kiss your beautiful face. This is the first Mother's Day I won't eat your potato salad. This is the first Mother's Day my children won't see their grandma. Every day is a struggle momma. I miss you dearly and will celebrate you this Mother's Day and every day of my life! I love you so much and miss you deeply! Happy Mother's Day! When you kiss daddy today think of me too!

Hello Mom,
This is the first time I am writing in your Guest Book. I still can't believe you are no longer here with me. I can't get over the reality that it has really happened. I hear your voice and see you when I close my eyes. I keep wanting to pick up the phone and call you. But I can't and is so hurtful Ma Ma. I know you wanted to be with Daddy and Jesus called your name but I want you back. Thank you for your precious love and constant comfort. These gifts are all that sustain me now. I love you beyond words and miss you with every beat of my heart. Be at peace my sweet love. You deserve it. I will see you soon. You are my everything.
Deborah
Desperately miss you! Sharon

Happy Birthday Mom! January 30th, 1935! What a great day! On this day the most loving, caring, giving, comforting, supportive, beautiful woman was born to bless this earth with beauty and laughter. This day will always be a remembrance of you. We will celebrate and remember you forever on this day and always.
It's hard to believe that I won't see you to celebrate with you today. The thought of not seeing you hurts so badly. The pain is so fresh and real. The tears burn my face as I think of you and miss you and long to feel your kiss and hug. I miss your voice. I miss your love. I miss your beautiful face.
The kids and I will go to your final resting place today and pray for you. We will sing to you, we will tell stories and laugh, and we will remember the most amazing person that has touched our lives in so many wonderful ways!
Happy 75th birthday mom! I long for you deeply! I love you and miss you so, so much!
Your loving daughter, Sharon

When you became sick who would have thought that would be it.
With each passing day that goes by I sit and wonder why you had to die. I remember the times we onced shared and its not the same that you are not here. From when I was a little girl and i fell out of your car many times, to when i was growing up you were always by my side. You may not have liked some of the choices I made but you were still there to support me in each and every way. With the birth of each of my children you were right there coaching me through each delivery and cutting ambilical cords. I would have never thought that you would be there by my side. Gram you were always very opionionated, outspoken and told it like it is. You showed all of us what true love really is and the meaning of family. Now 35 days have past and things just are not the same but I know it is not a good bye, we will meet again some day. As you are now with the man you love so dear and watching together what we all endear, with out you two no longer here I wonder what lifes is going to be like without you here. I sit and remember all the times we shared and no one will ever be able to create those memories that we have with one another. You were a strong, independent woman that alot of us looked to for advice, comfort, refuge and love. You will truely be missed, things will never be the same but we must go on and try to over come the pain and emptiness we all feel. When that day came and you had to say good bye I wish I never had to run to Walgreens or I would have been there right by your side, I came back and couldnt believe that you were no longer here with me. I spent my whole life with you each and every day and now every thing has changed. The tears will continue to fall and the pain and emptiness will eventually fade but all those special memories will never go away. I hope you found peace where ever you may be and know that God has taken away all the pain and suffering that you were going through. Gram one thing is for sure, I will always love you and have you in my heart, even though we may be far apart I hope you can hear me when Im looking for answers or advice and Im talking out loud to you. My children will have a void in their lifes but they will always remember you and grandpa for ever. Thinkin of you and Missing you so much.
Loving you Always,
Your Grand-daughter
I miss you! Sharon

Today is December 30th and you are with your true love on the anniversary of his death. As you would say mom, it has been 156 weeks today since daddy passed. No more counting. No more heartache. No more longing to touch your one and only true love. Rest in peace my beautiful angel! I miss you and long for you! All my precious love,

Merry Christmas in heaven Mom. You are missed so dearly here on earth. Today was a very difficult day. Not seeing your smile on Christmas Eve as you sat on the couch with your Amaretto and milk with Jack in your lap and missing the excitement on the children's faces when they saw your car pull into the driveway, was so hard to handle. The kids loved their Christmas presents from you! Jake knew you were going to get him the Star Wars Clone Wars helmet, Ricky loved his DS game, and Jamie couldn't wait to put her Zhu Zhu pet maze together. Jake commented on how he couldn't believe that you made sure they had Christmas presents even though you were so sick. They love you so much. You are so dearly missed here on earth. I take some comfort in knowing that you are celebrating your first Christmas with the Lord and your family. It's been years since you had a Christmas with your mom and dad and Grandpa Krafcheck. I'm sure daddy is eladed to be spending this Christmas with you too. I love you and miss you so much! There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you, think about you, or have this incredible need to call you. I love you mom! Have a wonderful Christmas in Heaven mom! Sending love from our home to your new Home! Thanks for watching over our family and thanks for the beautiful Christmas memories! Loving you so much! Your heartbroken daughter,

Aunt Sue,
Miles may have kept us apart but it
never changed my love and admiration
I have for you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to my extended family. The pain will subside but the love and memories will always be in our hearts for a certain angel that have answered her call to duty.
There is a void now since you left us but I give comfort in knowing you are in good hands and now you start a splendid new journey we only can dream about for now.
I bid you a fond farewell Aunt Sue.
Your loving Nephew, Frank

Dearest Mom,
You gave me so much in life,
and taught me how to love.
You were an angel here on earth,
God sent you from above.
The pain is hard to handle.
The tears continue to flow.
I am grateful you were my mother.
And am confident this you know.
I will always love you mom,
with every passing day.
Not sure what I will do here now,
Since you have gone away.
I've always had a mother,
You were always there for me,
When making live's decisions,
Through your eyes I'll have to see.
You taught me how to love.
You taught me how to live.
You not only live in me.
You live on in my kids.
I loved you more than anything,
I loved you to the end.
I not only lost my mother,
I lost my very best friend.
Missing you more than words can say mom. Rest in peace, my beautiful angel.
Your loving daughter,
Sharon

Dear Talach Family,
My deepest sympathies in the loss of your mother and grandmother; the greatest woman I have ever been blessed enough to meet. Forever will I be grateful for the caring and support which she offered so selflessly to my husband and I in some of our most difficult and joyous times.
I don't know of too many other people who would stay at a hospital until after 3:30am with someone in labor who wasn't their family by blood, but she did it for me. She made me feel a part of a truly wonderful caring and loving family. She will be truly missed.
If I can touch even 10 percent of the people I come in contact with in my life as deply as she has touched so many, I will feel I've achieved a lot.
I am so very grateful to have been lucky enough to know and love her; as well as all of you. Please know that Scott and I are here for you if you need us.
I hope that you are all able to find peace and strength in this difficult time. Feel the love that she has given all of you and gain support from it.
Love to all of you,
The Nelsons & The Crouses

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.
