Dear Kate and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember your mom always happy working outside surrounded by pets-and I was so excited when she asked me to watch them :) I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

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.

We are so saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. She watched our daughter for a number of years and I feel lucky to say during that time, became a good friend, neighbor, and part of our family. We all feel blessed to have had her in our lives. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Kate and family, I feel blessed that I got to visit with your mom before she passed away. I will always remember sitting on my porch with her and passing out candy on trick or treat nights while we both enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) She was a special person, and Mike and I grieve with you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Your mom was a special part of my childhood, she came up with so many great ideas for Kate and I. I'll never forget our trek to deliver Cabbage Patch party invitations. We went through the snow with our dolls on a sled. I am so sorry for your loss

Dear Buday family:
Diane cared for my daughter after I had to go back to work. I couldn't have asked for a nicer home and a more loving person to take care of her. I still remember coming home from work and seeing Diane outside with all of the kids planting flowers or playing in the backyard. She was a very special woman.
