Thoughts of you are always with me. Even though I'm not "family" anymore - I love you (and you always made me feel like I was still a part)

well Mary it has ben a year of complete emptiness. I wonder around lost not being able to dop things with you and have all the fun we had going places and planning oue next trip. I was in the hospital yesterday and it was a wierd feeling know that a year ago we weny there togrther and I left all alone. I even felt strange when I got there. I had doubts of living thru that. I went thru nalot of pictures of us on trips and birthdays and it just breaks my heart. I know your with me, but it is still so hard to find a reason to be here. Well I'm baking a birthday cake for you. so next thursday there will be a plate for thanksgiving dinner and then your birthday party. I LOVE YOU and MIss YOU so much ME. Oh I'm going to babysit the twins tonite so Melissa and Alan can go out to eat.

Well Mom, it's been a year in a few minutes. I can't even believe that. I still remember that call that told me, and it was the worse feeling in the world. Noone ever should have to lose their mother at such a young age. I know you would've been a Noni the kids all went to to talk to, and get what they want. Madison talks about you all the time Mom. She says "Don't let the bed bugs bite" "sweet dreams" every night because you said it to her. She said you were in FL with her on her trip for her birthday. She knows you are her angel. She will drink things she thinks you like, and just talks about you soo much. It makes me happy, but at the same time it's soo sad, cause I know that little girl misses you like crazy! I know she will tell Kyla all about you.
Mom, well I know you loved to visit us and all go out to Texas Roadhouse, well we are going to go there tomorrow, and think of you. Everything we do, we think of you. You will never be forgotten, EVER. We all are lost without you. Dad I know is hurting, but you need to let him have some signs to show him he needs to be here for his grandbabies and take over the role for both of you. Please watch over him while he is in the hospital today.
Well mom, just know we all miss you and love you more then anyone could have ever showed it while you were here. I wish I could just hug you one more time. Atleast it's the last thing I did, hugged you goodbye when you left KY. Just wish I knew it was the last time, I would've made it a lot longer!

Iam sitting here I took the week off from work for you!It is now 11:10 pm and that is less then an hour and you have been gone for a full long hard sad year from all of us! Mom some days I find it hard to even think about all the things that have happened this year that you have missed and how Jordan still remebers you just like you were still here! That little boy loved you so much mom! He goes to see dad often!! It helps Dad out alot I know it does! Dad is so lonely without you there mom!We put an ad in the paper for you for the morning! I can't wait to go to the store and get a paper just so I can feel like you are with me in the morning! I did my best with it so I hope it turns out really nice!Mom over the year the twins have gotten so big, Jordan is in preschool and Alan is in college and doing great.In the morning dad is having his surgery for his Kidney stone.. What a day to have that on right mom ? Same day you passed! Iam just really worried about him. I go to your house all the time to clean and help dad out and matty too! I do my best with everything I do over there! Well mom it is time for me to get a little rest before the kids are up in the early am! I sure do miss you!I love you and miss you dearly!

Hi MOM,
Well just sitting here talking to dad, I had to write you. It's coming up on almost a year without you. It breaks my heart daily. Madison always talks about you. She asked if you could get out of the box. I didn't know what to say. I am at a loss for words at how to explain it to a 4 year old. She loves you soo much mom. I always wonder how your relationship would have been as she grew up would've been. You both were eachothers world. I thank you soo much for being a great Noni! I know we didn't have the best relationship, but I always knew you just cared a little more then everyone else, thats why you did what you did. I should've been thankful for that. I know you are watching over us. I get little signs from you all the time. A lot of things in my house reminds me of you, you either bought for me, or gave it to me. I hope you will join us in Florida for Madison's birthday, I know you wouldn't miss it, and dad made sure he didn't. Matt and him are driving down to spend it with us. Madison tells Kyla about you all the time. That little girl mom would brighten your day anyday. I am so blessed to have such beautiful girls. I just wish you were here to watch the grow in person. I know you will be their angel watching over them. Well I better get to bed, I am a mess writing this, and need some sleep to keep up with the kids. You did an awesome job raising us kids, I don't know how you did it. I love you mom! We all do, and miss you greatly!

well mary this has been the worst birthday and fourth of July I haqve ever had. I miss u so much when we would go see some fireworks and we just had fun. All the kids were here so I know you know that but that made it better. Everyday is getting harder to see the reason why I should be here and miserable without you. It,s like there is no reason to live for sometimes. Well I just wanted to let you know that I miss you so much and still think your waiting for me to come home from work, Please watch over us all here and keep me strong. Love you always. ME

Your girls in KY soon to be GA Lantz's
May 10, 2008
Well Mom, it's here, we are moving to GA. We are having a lot of issues wth this whole thing. So frustrating, don't know how you all moved so much. We should be down there the 15th. I am trying to be down there so when Rich gets signed out, I can sign in there for a new house. I am praying to have one of the new houses. These kids deserve it! I so wish you could come visit us there. Dad is seeing if he can come visit for Kyla's birthday. I was so use to calling you whenever I had news to share with someone. I know your watching us from above, but it's not the same and nothing anyone can say helps me! It won't bring you back, and tomorrow is mothers day, and in the middle of moving might help me keep my mind off the fact, I can't call my mom anymore and wish her a happy mothers day! You were the world to us mom, and the staple of our family! We are so lost and falling apart without you. We saw that this past month when everyone went on vacation, and it wasn't a success at all. Noone had fun without you! I know you always said you wouldn't go on another trip, but you always did, and brought us all over the place, and we are very thankful for that! Not many kids had parents like you and dad! We all turned out the way we did because of 2 loving parents! I miss you soo much! Your in my heart every day MOM! Love and miss you soooo much! I cry everytime I think of you! We miss you!!!

January 12, 2008
Mom,
I sat and wrote you a very long entry, and I am clueless to what happened to it. I know I don't have to write in here to tell you stuff.
You know how much Madison misses you, she tells me all the time " I miss Noni, Mommy" It just hurts soo bad. To know I will never see your face again. I sit and cry at night. This does not get easier. As everyone said that has lost a parent, you just have to learn to accept it. I am not doing well healthwise, I need to get to the hospital, but I am so weary of hospitals right now. I just don't trust them. Kyla is getting soo big, sitting up and crawling everywhere. I know you were so excited for us to be there for Kyla's first Birthday. I am planning to still come up there for it, if the military schedules around it. We have been told we should be moving to Georgia in June. I can't wait for warmer weather. Rich has seen how depressed I have been and he found a card you sent me last year when I was done before he left. How you mentioned I use to be soo bubbly and happy. I just can't find that person right now Mom. We have had just plain out bad luck for the past month, and I just wish I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just wish all this was a bad nightmare and I'd wake up from it! I know Melissa and I will always talk about you to our kids. You were such a great Noni! The best our kids had! I've learned how to make your beans ( thankful you gave that recipe to me) and your frosting, and passing on all your traditions you did for us growing up! You will never be gone in our hearts mom! You will live forever through us. I love you and miss talking to you every day! (or having you call me wondering if I was okay if I didn't call one day)!
Love YOU!!

Aunt Mary, I don't even really know what to say. I thought alot about her and grandma yesterday and how it seems so unreal. Looking through the last pictures I have of both of them on their birthday 4 years ago. Four years does not seem so long ago, but it is, so much has changed. Aunt Mary you were a wonderful Aunt and the best god mother a girl could have. I didn't get a chance to thank you for my present this year :) You always made me laugh when I would open a bag with dish towels, or a bowl with a box of brownies inside. I know you know the Christmas wreath you made me is on the door. I have so many good memories of you and will miss you very much. You will always be in my heart. Give Gram a hug for me. John, Kelly, Jeanne, Katie, Melissa, and Matthew, any words I could say to any of you wouldn't make this right. Just know my family and I feel your loss more than words could ever say. We love you!

I just wanted to say how sorry I am and how much Mary will be missed. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Also was a great cousin to us here in AZ. She will be greatly missed,I was named after Mary and it was for a reason, my mom was one of her best friends. I can't believe she's gone, but I know she's in a better place.
We love and miss you Mary
Happy Birthday

ive never even been with out you for more than a week. We will be bestfriend forever and i feel you with me everyday but i miss that smile that laugh ure hugs the way u treated me extra special when i was sick helping me with any situation i was in
I heard both the songs you put on for me and they did make me feel better and i knew that was you when i was leaving late that night I know i have to try and keep better hours but i will try once this gets a little easier for me
I cant say that i know what to do but you always told me to just do what feels right and its gotten me this far so i trust every word u ever said to me
You were an angel far before you left and i love you more than anything

I'm Mary's cousin; from Phoenix, Az. Mary was one of my best friends; she had many friends,from N.Y.and from Az.
Mary was the ultimate hostess; always wanting to make everyone feel comfortable. The world will be missing a lot, with her gone.
I'm a Grandmother and I know how my Grandchildren would feel, if I were gone. I know her Grandchildren will miss her terribly.
She is in a better place.R.I.P., Mary

I would like each and all of you, way to many names to mention, that I share your loss and feel the hurt. Mary was my maid of honor at my wedding, as well as and close as a sister could be.
She'll forever be in my heart.
I send my love to you all.
