Dear Children, relatives and other friends of Gloria,
I just now heard about Gloria's passing. I have been ill myself and only now have been able to try to reach out to my friends. May God always keep her close. She was a real character that I was proud to call her friend. We worked together and played bingo together as well. God rest her soul. With love, Rae Thompson

Today was a difficult day for your children with it being your first year anniversary of the day God took you from us. It started out very somber. We decided to spread your ashes today and we went to the lake that we grew up on knowing that was the place you were the happiest. It gave us great comfort afterwards. It was windy today which I was glad for. It made it easier for your ashes to stay and blow in the air. We gathered again tonight with the entire family (children and grandchildren) to enjoy a family dinner at a local restaurant in your memory. Some of us sat and remenised about you and some of us just enjoyed the family as a whole. I cant help but think you were looking down on all of your family knowing we were gathering for you. We wished you were there with us. It would of felt more complete. We know you are in Gods hands and in a much better place where there is no pain and suffering . We are all looking forward to the day we can all be together with you and Dad again...but until then, we will celebrate every year on November 2nd and reflect back to our loving mother.
Thank You Mom for making each and everyone of us become the people we are today. We couldn't of done it without your love & support.
We will miss you and know that when the sun shines down on us, it is you from heaven above.
We all love you mom.
Rest in Peace <3

Today I did something that I have wanted and needed to do for a very long time. I know that you were with me when I did it because I felt your presence and I recieved a sign that was very unexpected. I felt a scense of relief and for the first time in a year my heart opened in a way I cannot explain. As your anniversary date approaches in a few days we will not have this rememberence site to go to anymore to express our thoughts but I now feel like I can move on and finally hold you close to my heart and celebrate your life as it was.
And so mother dear, I will always love you and miss you and cherish you.

We are all remembering our lives with you one year ago, keeping watch over you, taking care of you, wishing we could all take your pain away from you.
As the year moved on, I still wish to pick up the phone and talk to you, I even wish you were here telling me I was having a bad hair day or my clothes didn't match!
Not a day goes by that you are not missed by me and others.
always,
Jodi

Dear Mom....
As your first year anniversary date approaches, my thoughts of you are begining to consume me once again. I remember where our family was at this time last year and how we all ached for what we were about to experience in losing you. God took you from us because he no longer wanted you to be in pain, but little did I know that my pain would live on inside me for so long. I remember when Dad was taken from us, I never thought my pain would go away but long after, his memories lived on inside me and gradually they became happy memories. I keep telling myself that you and Dad are together again but there is a sense of comfort that I am missing and I can't quite put my finger on it. I long for the days that my thoughts of you will turn into happy memories and it gets easier for me to let go. I was left with so many unanswered questions that continually live on inside of me. I know that you are in Gods hands and I know that you are looking down on all of us and I hope that through your guidence, I will someday find the peace inside of me that I long for.
I Love You and Miss You.

Dear Mom
As these days go by, it is so lonely without you. I miss you more and more every day. My life has not been the same since you were taken from us. Every time I look at your pictures the void gets bigger. As your anniversary date approaches, I am reminded of what we went through that cold and lonely day and my heart aches. I miss you more than I ever imagined. I know that someday we will be together again but until that day comes... your memory will live on very strong inside of me.
Love Sheila

Dear Mom
I can't believe you have been gone from us 9 months. I miss you so much. I keep finding myself in situations where I remember you saying certain things to me and I now know how right you were. I think of you so often and I ache inside for you. There are so many things I want to tell you. I often talk to you and I know you are around me, sometimes I feel your presence. I remember one day not to long ago I was laying in bed and I smelt your Jean-Nate' so very strongly, I know in my mind that you are around me but without you physically being here, there is such a void in my life! I keep remembering what you went through before you left us and how VERY BRAVE you were. I know you are in a much better place now where there is no pain or suffering and we will be together again. I long for the day that all my tears turn into happy memories of the times you shared with all of us! I Love You and Miss You and would give anything to be able to tell you face to face.
With all my heart

As I sit here today to write to you, so many thoughts come pouring out. My biggest sorrow is that I wish we had more time together before you left us. Although I am so greatful for those last three months with you I will always feel like they were never long enough. I keep thinking about the last few trips we made together to the beach by ourselves and just talked about things that needed to be said. They feel like a lifetime ago. I know deep in my heart you were happy as I was too but I always feel like it was never enough. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you!! Sometimes I can feel you around me and I know you are looking down on all of us to guide us through the next days and weeks and months. I also know that someday my tears and heartache will turn into happy lasting memories. I love you Mom.

I think of her every day...want to talk to her about life and its happenings, just to hear her thoughts about what to do, what to say, for her to yell at me cuz I've lost weight, listen to her about bingo. I want to call her every day, and miss her more than I ever imagined.
June 26, 2009
Oh Ma: It's been over 6 months since we lost you. For a while I didn't think I could make it....but your wonderful visits through my dreams have given me hope that we will be together again someday. I miss you so much and daily hold you close to my heart. Thank you for the strength you have given me. Your son, Donnie.

Auntie Glo,
The memories that come flooding into my head bring me back to my childhood. I can see you with a coy smile and your head tilted to one side and then you would say my name. And everytime it was with love and very endearing. I miss you.
Love Andrea

Dear Mom,
If only I knew... I would never hear your voice again, I would cherish every word.... Every inflection of your voice...with all my heart! If only I knew...that this was the last time...the very last time I would see you, I would take the time to treasure everything about you. If only I knew, I was about to lose your smile, I would "Thank You for all the joy you brought into my life.
All my love,
Sheila
