Mom,

You must know how many times I have thought of you since you passed away. Zachary talks about you so all the time. He misses you so much. Whenever we go on vacation, he still says he wishes he could call you to tell you what he's doing. I wish so much Kylie could have known you. You would have loved seeing what a little pistol she can be--she has your spirit that's for sure! I know you're looking down at all of us--and that is such a comfort. I miss our talks--you always understood what I was going through, and always made me feel so much better. I am so fortunate to have had you for a mother-in-law, but more than that, as a friend. I love you!

Aunt Carr,

I miss you so much. It is still hard to believe that its been almost a year since you passed away. So much has happenend and its gone by so quick. I have found myself picking up the phone many times to call you just to talk and to share news like we always did. You were someone I was always able to turn to when things were good and not so good. I know you are watching over all of us and glad to be back with Uncle Bob and so many other family and friends. Please continue to watch over all of us and tell everyone we love them very much. Thank you Aunt Carr for being the person you were and for all that you did for me.. Love and miss you more then you could know..

Love you

Much Love Aunt Sue & Uncle Ed

aunt care
This is surreal to me. you have been such a force in my life and my childrens lives, and I know the words won't come close to the appreciation and gratitude and love that I have for you and your family, but I want to say Thank You. Thank you for being there for me, and loving me and giving it to me straight when thats what I needed to hear. I Love You. You are my moms best friend ever, and I thank you for that. I am very sorry you didn't get a chance to meet Dylan, but he will know you and he will know how much fun you were, and how much you loved him. I can't imagine our lives without you. I will cherish all of the memories that we share. and just so you know my children will always eat their squash, I'll make sure of it. I Love You.
