Love you and miss you every day, Mommy.
Everything has changed so, so much since you've been gone. Some good, some bad and some just plain unfortunate.
The one thing that remains constant is the hole in my heart. I know you're here with me and will be there with me always. I feel it.
Love, your daughter and best friend.

My Dear Adele,
There are no words to express the monumental sadness that still exists here for us. Ten years without you...what a void you have left. I know you would be so very proud of your children...they are beautiful and kind souls and reflect all the love you gave them. Jim has been a great father to them and there for them always.
You will be forever missed...
All my love, Annamarie

It is 10 years today that we have lost you and it seems like yesterday. You would be so proud of your children today. Danielle will be getting married in 2 months to a great guy Sean. We did a great job!! Only time can heal the hurt we have all endured losing you. We will never forget you and all the great times we have spent. Some days I drive to work and still just think and start crying and saying to myself what happened here? I'm sure you are in a better place and you are overlooking us every day. You are always in our hearts.. Love, your Husband Jim

My Dear Sister Adele,
Thinking of you on your birthday...today you would have been 60 years old. It doesn't seem that it was ten years ago we were at your 50th birthday party...what a beautiful day that was. I know that you are watching over your family and embracing them in your eternal love. We are the sad ones, deprived of your love here on earth, your laugh, your touch and everything else we miss about you.
Please keep us all in your care....
Love you forever and always,
Annamarie

As much as it breaks my heart every day for you not to be here sharing life with me, I know you're by my side. As excited as I am for what my future holds, it's bittersweet knowing I am not lucky enough to have you physically here. Honestly I'd give anything to have you back. I miss you.

Dear Adele (My Sexy Wife)
It is 5years now that god has taken you from us to be in his Kingdom. I truly feel your prescence each and every day and know you are watching over all of us. Your children are doing great and I know you are keeping an eye on them. I also know you are very proud of them and still guiding them in your own way. They miss you very much..
No person can replace your presence and love and I find myself thinking about you and all the great times we had. I will always have those thoughts and will never forget you..and will always love you. Love your husband

Mommy,
On Wednesday, it'll be five years I've lived without you. It never ever got better, and it never will. Every momentous occasion that has occurred in my life (and SO much has happened this year!) has been and will always be bittersweet. I know you're here with me, walking through this life with me , but it still hurts my heart to live without your reassurance, your support, our girly talks, shopping, hugs when I really need them, your pastina when I'm sick, your eggplant parmesean, you singing in the living room and dancing to songs, just everything about you and your presence. You were such a beautiful person, and the older I get the more I see that. I hope you can live on through me and I hope that Im making you proud, and keeping the promomises I've made you.
Love you forever, Like you for always, as Long as I'm Living, my Mommy You'll be.
Love,
your buttercup.

Hi Babe
That is what I always called you. You have done such a great job with your daughter and son and I appreciate you being there at their sides at all times. Our daughter Danielle has shown her great determination and worked so hard because of her mom. She is a lawyer now and it justs keep getting better. I made a promise to you that I will always be there for our children and I am there to reinforce your great encouragements. I wish we could be enjoying this together. I know you are looking over all of us and protecting us. Thank you for that. I miss you very much and will always love you.

Mommy,
I know you are here with me because I feel you... Trying not to cry to smear my makeup (something you'd say) but I am getting admitted to the bar today. It's really a bittersweet moment for me... I'm proud of myself, but I am also heartbroken that I wont have you physically there with me to see it. For me, it also symbolizes a new beginning... Another new beginning without you, and the first accomplishment I've completed without having you here with me to call, talk to, hug, and encourage me. You really were my rock.. You still are. I just miss being able to hear your voice and talk to you, and listen to what good advice you'd have for me in so many situations. As I got older, the more I appreciate everything you've done for me and all you have sacrificed.. I've also been able to see more clearly why you made certain decisions in your life... I'll always have you by my side, and as long as you're right there, I'll be okay.
I love you forever,
like you for always
as long as I'm living,
my MOMMY you'll me.
Love, your buttercup.

Mommy...
I miss you more than I could express... The pain never subsides.... Four years have gone by and it kills me to know it's been that long since I've hugged you, held your hand, or heard your voice.
Mom, I'm ready to start my own life now, and I am praying you walk with me and guide me in the right direction.
Thinking of you today and every day..
Love you forever,
Like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
My mommy you'll be. <3

I was saddened to come across this while looking for past schoolmates.
My name is Eusebia Paez and I attended Our Lady of Lourdes in Brooklyn. Adele and I were in classes together. In December of 1969 we moved to Lake Ronkonkoma L.I.
January 6th 1970 I walked into my new classroom and after the shock of new school jitters I saw Adele. I couldn't believe that so many miles away I would see a familiar face in Ms. Muller's class!
I felt compelled to send my condolences and keep a prayer in my heart for the Burns family.
Respectfully,
Eusebia Paez(nee Pomales)

Mommy..
Today I had to clean out the basement closet and cabinets so that I could move my stuff in there... I had the opportunity to go through so many of your outfits, even your wedding dress. I boxed the things that will always bring me fond memories of you (even your wedding dress, your Woman's Way sweatshirt, your mets jacket, your Dawnwoood shirts, and the robe you wore when you were sick, on the days that we would spend laying around on the couch watching 24 seasons). There are just so many things that I will never be able to part with, the above being just a few. I was happy to come across so many recipes you printed out, clipped from magazines, or just wrote down. I know I'll never discover how to make those mashed potatoes the way you did, or even make stringbean casserole the way you did (even though it is so simple to make, it never does EVER come out the way you made it). Right now as I'm writing this, I'm craving Pastina, something you've always made me when I was sick, especially after my surgeries. Dad made it for me after I got my wisdom teeth pulled, but it wasn't the same. nothing is. I feel so lonely in this house every single day without you. I know you are everywhere I am, but I just wish I could reach out and hug you, the way you hugged me when I was upset, or missed me. I miss you so so much, every single day. The pain in my chest and the hole in my heart will never get any better, and will never mend until we meet again. I hope I'm making you proud. I miss you more than words can even express.
"Love you forever,
Like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
My mommy you'll be."
Love Always, with everything I have, your buttercup.

Dear Adele
It is now 2 years today and it still seems like you never left us. The reality is that you did and that I know you are looking over all of us. We can feel your presence all around us. We miss you very much and wish you were here with us. Our family is not the same without you. For as time goes on It will be easier but we will never forget the love you shared. I will always love you!
Love your Knight , Jim

My Dear Sister Adele,
Today is two years since you left us, and it still cannot seem possible. I miss you every day, and you remain in my heart. You left your love here to comfort all of us. I am still distraught. I envision you with Daddy and my little Frank, and that vision gives me comfort. I know you watch over all of us...thank you for this. You have especially been with me the last couple of months, when I needed it most. Your presence is always here. You will always be my curly top.
Your brokenhearted sister, Annamarie

My Dearest Sister Adele,
Happy Birthday in heaven...there isn't a day that goes by that we don't miss you. I feel your presence all the time, which is comforting to me. Our hearts will carry you always. I made egg salad yesterday (our favorite!), the first time since you left. It didn't taste as good without you sharing it with me. You took a piece of me with you. I always think about how brave you were...how you fought to stay with us. Your children continue to make you proud every single day, but I know you know that. You are in a better place, where there's no pain or unhappiness, only beauty.
Keep us all close to you.
All our love, Annamarie and Walter
(and Amelia...you know how you loved her)

Mommy, my best and dearest friend....It has been over a year that I've lived in this world without you. I don't know how I'm still standing, or breathing, or smiling. Not a second of a day goes by where I wish you were here with me, with all of us. I cannot describe how broken hearted I feel every time I think about how much pain and suffering you went through and how you didnt deserve any of it. Tears come to my eyes when I see mothers and daughters shopping, walking, talking, laughing, and even fighting, for I am SO envious for what they have, even though what we had was probably SO much more. Mommy, I want you there with me when I graduate law school, when I pass the bar exam, on my wedding day, when I have children...It's not fair that I can't talk to you, or hear your voice or see your face. What a GREAT loss it has been for this family...We will never, ever be the same. I know you'd want nothing more than for us to keep living our lives and being happy, but I can't help but feel the wrenching agonizing pain in my heart when I periodically come to the realization that you are no longer here. and will never be returning. I still do not comprehend it. Nor will I ever. I love you more than words can ever describe...More than life itself. I miss you more and more each day, and can't wait until the day I get to see you again...I promise to try and make you proud every day. Love always, Your buttercup.
p.s. "I love you forever, like you for always, as long as I'm living, my mommy you'll be."

October 17, 2008
My dear sister Adele,
I found these sentiments and can hear you saying this...well, maybe you would use more "colorful" language...
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain...
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
I love you and miss you very much, Annamarie
Annamarie Donovan
October 17, 2008
My Dear Sister Adele,
We have lived one year without you, and it does not seem possible. I hear your voice constantly...I feel your presence everywhere. I know you are with us. We are still brokenhearted.

Although it has been almost a year since the loss of my cousin Adele, I guess it is God's will that my daughter Renee found this on the computer. I hadn't seen Adele in many years, I will certainly never forget her. I have been in Florida for 15 years and have not had the opportunity to share our lives together in the last years. I will always remember Adele as a happy and loving person. My deepest love and prayers go out to Annamarie, Pauline, Lucy, Anthony, Frank, their families, and Aunt Adele- also especially Jim, Danielle, and James. My God's blessings and prayers be with you all. Love Your Cousins, Pauline, Rich, and Renee Leone

Your Last Birthday

March 30, 2008
My dearest Sister,
Happy Birthday, my curly top. Last year we were all together celebrating your 50th...today we are alone without you. Our hearts are heavy with grief. I tried to feel close to you yesterday by going to Starbuck's and getting that blasted egg salad sandwich that we used to share. I couldn't open it b/c you were not there. I tried to give the other half to Pauline, but she didn't want it. She said, it was my and your thing. A simple little thing like that put me into this valley I'm in.
You have taken part of the family with you, forevermore to be changed. Each of us has a piece of our heart missing. But, you would be so proud of your children. They miss you and are suffering, but they are persevering in their lives. They do honor to your memory.
Watch over us and keep us close to you. We need it.
Your loving sister, Annamarie

My dearest sister Adele,
It does not seem possible that we have lived for 3 1/2 months without you. The holidays were heartbreaking, but we did what you wanted us to do...be together as a family. I talk to you all the time, and I feel your presence always. I pray to you to help your family, especially your children who feel your void beyond words.
The only thing that gives me some comfort is knowing that you are not suffering any more. I keep always in my mind your last few weeks with us and realize what brutal days you went through. My heart hurts irreparably, and I feel inconsolable.
You promised me that you would hold my son Frank for me. I see you, Frank and Daddy together. That image will get me through the pain I feel every waking moment.
I love you, I miss you, my Curly Top,
Your Loving Sister,

My life without you is impossible. There is not one day that I don't call your name. To me, this has been a nightmare and does not seem real. I came to visit you at the cemetery, and I laid on your grave with the hope to hear you call, Mommy! But that was just a hope and dream. I miss you so much every day. Tell Daddy that I still love him; I am pretty sure he knows. Give Little Frank a big kiss. Tell him Nonna loves him so much, and to pray for his Mommy, his Daddy, his Brother, his Sister, and all of us.
I will see you soon.
Love, Your "Desolata" Mommy

To Our Loving Sister and Loving Auntie Adele,
Yesterday we lay you to rest. Our family will never be the same without you. We know you are at peace now after fighting your big battle. Walter III called you "The Warrior" all these months, and that's what you were. We know you are holding our precious little Frank and both of you are in Daddy's arms. There is some comfort in knowing your suffering has ended and that you are watching over us, probably humming a Donna Summer song. Our hearts ache at your passing. Your spirit will always be here with us as we carry you in our hearts.
We love you, always and forever,
Annamarie, Walter, Adele, Walter III and Brian

I will always remember Adele when we would chat in the hallways in high school. She always gave me a big smile and a cheerfull hello. We had some nice talks and all that time I never knew she was Lucy's sister. Right up until Lucy and Rob got married. When we met again we had some laugh at how all those years and I never knew. It was so great to be able to see her again and talk. She was the most friendliest, caring,and truly genuine person I've met. My deepest sympathy to the family, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Dottie McDonald (Strauss)
