Neenie, it has been 2 years...and it seems like forever. I miss u and love u more soo much.
July 7, 2010
Mom, you're my first thought every morning when I wake up and my last thought before I go to sleep every night, I miss you soooo much and life is just not the same anymore. Unfortunately, you'll be having more company with you, as Jerry Leto passed away yesterday. Again, another Leto tragedy....I miss you so much Mom, it's been almost 2 years, and I just can't get over it and don't think that I ever will. Did you see me the other day when I came to visit? I was hoping to see a sign, something to just let me know that you're doing OK. Til we meet again, rest in peace my most beautiful angel.....I love and miss you with all my everything. Love Arla

Mom, I thought each day was supposed to get a little easier, but I'm finding each day to be alot harder. I miss you so very very much. You're the first thought in my head every morning and the last thought at night. I wish so badly that you were still here, but only as your healthy self and not when you were sick. It was so heartwrenching seeing you that way and I thank god everyday that you're no longer sick and that you are now healthy. Rest in peace Mom and always know how much I love and miss you. Love you with all my heart, Arla

My Dearest Friend, I can not believe a year has passed since we last spoke. It is hard to see your home next door and you are not there, a friend with whom I had coffee with, shared talks about our children, had good times partying, and all around good times. A friend I could count on at any time and would always be there. Words can not express how much I miss you. I will always remember holding your hand a year ago and knowing you passed over into God's hands. I know you will bless your family with peace on this first anniversary. I will always miss you and hope to join you, God willing, in heaven. Love always, Lois

Neenie,
I've been thinking about you a lot lately, especially because it has almost been a year since youve been gone this thursday. It went by really fast and I still cant believe your not here. I still feel like your here because I am frequently dreaming about you and sometimes it freaks me out when I wake up crying just to know that it was a dream and in fact your not actually with me. I HATE those dreams, the only good part about them is that your in them and I can see you. My heart still aches and things will never be the same but I can manage. Sorry I have written much to you here, its just everytime I write to you and read what everyone has to say to you, I get so upset. But youve been on my mind so much I knew it was about time to write a message. Well I'm done for now. I miss you Neen!!..and I love you so very much!!!..Love, your Spanish Beauty. <3

Hi Mom-
My friend Sue has just joined you up there. She was a wonderful friend to me for 30 years despite our age difference. It was sudden and I will miss her a great deal. My heart is heavy with sadness. So much loss in this last year.
I love you and I miss you dearly. I know you were watching over Kate on Sunday. Seems like yesterday she was born and off she is going to college in the Fall. I will write to you again soon. Watch over us all Mom.

Neenie -
I miss you so much. I really wish you were here to watch me graduate. That in itself would mean the world to me. I love you more than anything and your ring never leaves my finger. Just sitting here writing this to you makes me cry. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have ever done because you are one of the reasons i have made it this far with school. You were the best grandmother anyone could have ever asked for. I really couldnt have asked for a better one. Living next door to you my whole life and seeing you practically every and then not seeing you at all is so hard. I miss seeing that warm smile and looking into your warm heart. I just miss you a lot. Watch down on me that i graduate alright? Neenie I love you so much. Never forget that.
June 23, 2009
Mom, just thinking about you....and missing you terribly
June 17, 2009
Mom, Katelyn and Abbie are graduating this week and I'm heartbroken that you're not physically here to see it. But I know you're watching down and beaming from ear to ear. Proud Neenie. You'd be so proud of all of your grandchildren. They're all amazing kids, and mostly because you were an amazing Neenie to all of them.
I miss you so much Mom, and it still doesn't seem real that you are gone. But you can now hang with all of your favorite people that are there with you. Rest in peace Mom, and someday we'll all be together again.
Love forever infinity,
Arla

Hi Mom-
Our first Mother's Day without you was hard but we did our best to get through it. Our Spanish Beauty gave me the nicest card with a note in it about you that made me cry. She is such a compassionate girl. We will keep our tradition of getting together with Barb and I know that makes you happy. She is a really nice person and is going through a tough time right now so watch over her and will her some of that strength you have. I will miss you every minute of every day until I see you again.
May 10, 2009
Mom, On this 1st Mother's Day without you...My heart is broken and life just isn't the same without you, but knowing you're in a better place and you're happy and healthy, it somehow makes it a little easier. I love and miss you with all my heart. Love Arla

Neenie,
Easter and birthdays are approaching and I don't think it has fully hit me that you won't be there. You have been to ever birthday of mine and my brothers, so this 26th one is going to hit me hard. I haven't been to your grave since your b-day but I promise you I'll be seeing you soon. I miss you more than you will ever know :(. I love you.

Hi Mom-
I know it made you happy to look down and see us all together yesterday. We are trying to stay close and stay strong. Uncle Ed and Aunt Nancy were there as you know and are anxiously awaiting the birth of their first grandchild. How exciting for them! Your presence was and always is missed. It will never be the same but we do our best. I love you and miss you even more.
March 1, 2009
Mom,
I miss you much. I wish so badly that you were still here today with us. I hope the other side is as beautiful as we think and that you are healthy and happy. I love you Mom. Someday we'll all be together again. Love Arla

Mom-
John and I were to your grave yesterday. Expecting to have to clean it off, we brought a broom, but it was nice and clean already. Dad did a good job with your stone - it is really beautiful. There were poinsettias in the urns so I know the Pennefeather sisters must be happy about that.! Sorry I couldn't stay too long, it was hard for me being there. Knowing you are pain free helps but I still miss you so much.

Mom-
The days and weeks and months go by and sometimes I find myself still reaching for the phone to tell you something or ask you something. They say that it gets easier to accept a death as time goes by....but I'm not finding that to be true. At least not yet. I miss you more every day. I hope you are happy and at peace.

Dearest Arlene, I have not forgotten you and I am so sorry I have not written but you are in my heart always. We were in Albany for Christmas and Thanksgiving and looking over at your house was so hard. I wanted to go over but time goes so fast when we are there. I read your families letters and my heart goes out to them all. I still miss my Mom even after all these years but I know she is happy in Heaven too. Arlene I know your birthday is soon, yet another day your family will be sad so help them to bear up for another first in their lives. We are here in Florida and you promised you would come down to see us so I hope you are coming down in spirit.
I love you and miss you terribly.
Love, Lois

Hi Mom-
We seem to have made it through Christmas but it was difficult. We missed your presence so much and the delight you used to get from watching the kids open their gifts. The girls loved the bracelets Dad bought them. It is a gift I know they will cherish forever and ever. Cassidy and Genevieve seemed to love their necklaces as well. Your grandchildren love you and miss you so much. We all do.
I will go to see your stone soon. I hear that it is beautiful.

Hey Neen, it's Christmas Eve and without you here everyone is going to have to be a little more braver. I think everyone can do it because we love you soooo much and we know that you wouldnt want us to be sad, especially on Christmas. I just wanted to let you know that I love you and WILL ALWAYS love you. I will probably come and visit you today to tell you even more how much I love you!..ok Neen I'll be back soon.!
Love always, Your Spanish Beauty

Mom,
It's Christmas Eve and we're all gathering at Bobby's house tonight. It's not going to be the same and I'm not sure how everyone is going to handle this. Please give us all the strength we need to get through this. We love and miss you so much. I'm still in a really bad dream that I can't wake up from, and selfish me wants you here with us. I love and miss you so much that I don't think my life will ever be the same. Merry Christmas Mom, I love you with all my heart.

Neenie,
This is the First X-Mas without you. I don't think it has fully hit me yet, that you will not be there on Xmas Eve... I miss you terribly. I know you are in a better place, and knowing that you are not suffering anymore helps me, as well as everyone else accept things on how they are. I love you Neenie.

November 23, 2008
Mom-
Thanksgiving is approaching and we are all so sad. Our first major holiday without your presence. No one has offered to do the Thanksgiving prayer probably because it would never be the same as when you did it. You always put so much thought into it and it was always just perfect. I love you and miss you with all my heart.
P.S. I know that hummingbird was you.
Kelly Parker
November 21, 2008
Neenie, There isn't a day that goes by that you're not on my mind. I know you are pain-free and in a better place right now. That eases my spirits slightly knowing you are in God's hands. Just wanted to let you know that I love you and miss you.
Julie Arango
November 20, 2008
Neenie, This is way to hard for me. I thought that your passing was only going to get easier for me, but the truth is that it really hasn't. Even though I couldn't stand the thought and sight of you being sick, I can't stand the thought of you not being here either. It kills me everyday to think of you being gone, but I know it is for the better because now you are healthy and free. I never got a chance to let you know how much it meant to me for all that youve done for me, but I'm sure you already knew that. You helped raise me and welcomed me into your home for 5 years while i was still in school. Even though I am your grandchild, I believe you treated me as one of your own children. My 21st birthday was last week and the first present I received was from Kristina, it was a picture frame with a big pink ribbon in the background and in front of it reads "Count your smiles instead of your tears, Count your courage instead of your fears" and she gave it to me because she knows how much i love you, and knows how much you mean to me.She said "I was debating whether or not to give it to you because I didnt want you to get upset on your birthday", and of course I opened it and got upset, but not because it would remind me of your passing but because it reminded me of your own courage and willpower, and how you overcame the many years of your sickness until God thought that you had had enough. So that picture frame is hanging up on my wall beside my bed and I think of you every time I look at it. I try and visit you every few weeks just to tell you how much I love and miss you! Actually one day Kristina and I went together because her Grandparents are also there with you. I could go on and on writing to you Neen because just like you, I can talk forever (maybe not in my sleep like you do, but boy can I talk). So I hope you can read this and I will be back soon! I love you Neen
Love Always, your Spanish Beauty
November 20, 2008
Mom, I miss you so much that I find it hard to even breathe sometimes. I wake up every morning still thinking I'm in some kind of bad dream, but when I go to see Dad, you're not there and then I know its for real. Please give us the strength we need to get through this. We're all so lost and broken hearted without you. I love and miss you with all my heart.

It's your Spanish Beauty's 21st birthday today, my how the time has flown. She misses you so much, she still has a hard time talking about you. We all miss you so much. I wish you could have been here for all of our birthdays. It's a really hard time for all of us now, but knowing you're okay now makes things a little easier. Mom, I love you more than anything and maybe I'm a little selfish, but I want you here with us. Rest in peace most beautiful Angel.

It just hit me that you wont be here to spend thanksgiving or christmas with us this year. I just cant even believe that your gone. You'll always be number one in my heart. Before you past I never thought that I could live with out you.. and its so much harder than i could have ever imagined. You are the prettiest angel i could have ever asked for.

Hi dear Friend, I am so sorry that I have not written. I was in Albany last month for a wedding (Harold's Daughter, my niece).I did not have time to visit your home. It would have been hard to go to your home because I can remember our sitting in the kitchen talking together and I miss that so much. Well time is going so fast I am getting pretty old so I hope to see you (not tomorrow), but later on..
Love always, Lois

My Dearest Friend, Well two months already, I have read your family's letters and I am sure you are happy up there to hear from them and I am sure you are giving them the strength to carry on. They all have things to do in their lives before they come to your side. I miss your wise advise when we talked. As I have said before you always filled in my blanks when we were together. I spoke to Janet a couple of days ago and she told me Dick is going to have his wound operated on finally Well I will write again as this is the only way to keep in touch.
Love and miss you,

Mom-
John and I were shopping yesterday and he spotted a tee shirt with hummingbirds on it - your favorite bird. I remembered when you planted that tree that was supposed to attract hummingbirds. And then I remembered how we laughed because it didn't do much of anything. I bought the shirt and then we were at John's brothers for a picnic and we saw a hummingbird. A regular visitor to their yard, but this time it landed on a tree branch and I could swear it was staring right at me. Was it you telling me that you are ok? I want to believe that, so I will. I know you are with us always.

Hi Neighbor, I wrote to you yesterday on your 1 month anniversary but it did not go through. I want to tell you that time goes by so fast and it does not feel like a month already except the fact I still want to go to the phone and call you as we did all those years before, telling each other the bad times and the good times we had with our families. This is the only way to talk to you and I guess it will have to do until I hope to join you later.
We miss you, Leo & Lois

Hi my dearest friend, I cannot believe it is one month today since you joined with the Angels in Heaven. I know you are so happy up there but we down here truly miss you. On this day I am sure your family is thinking of you and I know you will give them the strength. As I have mentioned before I miss talking to you in the morning and discussing the troubles of the day and the good things of the day. This my way of talking to you in a way. Miss and love you always, Lois & Leo

Its me again Arlene your pesty neighbor. I am so lost without your presence. It is almost a month already since God has brought you home.The only way I can bear not hearing from you is that I would not want to see you suffering anymore. I love you so much and I hope time will help all your love ones.
Goodnight my friend,
Lois

My wonderful friend, I am here in Florida and I think of you all the time. In a way it is good I am here because seeing your home next door in Albany is so hard and not calling you all the time and hearing your voice. Writing to you is the nearest thing I have talking to you. I miss you and I pray you are giving your family peace as losing my Mother left a hole in my heart and I am sure there is a big hole in your wonderful children's hearts too. Love always Lois

Well todays a pretty bad day. I cant stop thinking about you. Your all over my wall with pictures and other things. I kiss it every night before i go to bed. I love you so much neenie. I know your in a better place now but nothing is the same. I cant wait to see you one day. I hope one day i can be half the woman you were. You really are a true inspiration to do good things in life. I cant even describe what its like with out you.Theres a whole in my heart with out you.I really cant even believe that you're gone. I remember when we use to dance in your kitchen and id say funny things and youd say '' WHAT''. Wow i miss you. I remember when you use to pick me up from nursery school and wed go out to eat and eat it in the driveway because papa would kill us! I feel truly blessed to have had you in my life for the time that you were in it. And i wouldnt trade any moment with you for anything. I appreciate everything you've done for me. You really were the best grandmother i could have ever asked for. You are beautiful inside and out. Your such a strong willed and compassionate person. I looked up to you as my role model and i still do today. I admire your beauty and your strength to survive. I admire everything about you. I would do anything to lay next to you again. To just get one last kiss. I loved How you would do anything for anyone in a heart beat. You are my angel. I love you neenie more than anything. You are truly missed.
I love my neenie.

Mom-
Everyday gets a little bit harder. You were such a constant, wonderful and warm presence in our lives. Having lived across the street from you for the last 20 years, my children have such great memories of a "Neenie" who loved them so. I miss you more than words can say but am happy for you in that you are pain free now and enjoying the presence of all you so loved and missed.

Dearest Arlene,I went over to the house yesterday to see Janet and as much as I wanted to see her, without you being there to kiss me hello as old friends it left a hole in my heart. Today is doubly hard because it is Lee's 1 year anniversary who passed away from the deadly disease that took you from us almost two weeks ago. My heart longs to dial your number and hear when I asked you how you felt you would say "fair to the midland". When I was in Florida you did not want me to worry and you would say I'm good. God blessed me to be here at this time of the year to share our last months together. Our years of friendship will remain in my heart until the day I leave and join you up there with the Angels. (I hope I go up there because I know you are up there). Well my dear friend watch over your wonderful family as they need your strength right now, I will love you always.
Leo & Lois

Mom-
I'm having a hard day today. I guess it's really sinking in that you are gone. I would never want you back the way you were because that would be selfish of me. But, I miss you so much. I try to picture you surrounded by your loved ones who went before you and the joyous reunion I hope you are having. That does help. Look down upon us all Mom and if you can, send us strength to get through this. I love you with all my heart.

Mom-
Life as I know it will never be the same. I could probably count on two hands the number of days over my lifetime that we have NOT talked either in person or on the phone. This is all very strange to me. I reached for the phone this morning thinking that I have to see how you are today. The only comfort in this is that you are no longer suffering. I know how helpless we all felt at the end and how heartbreaking it was to see you like that. But then I saw you Saturday and you looked so beautiful and so completely at peace. That image has helped me get through these days. Thank you for being such a wonderful Mom to me and grandmother to my children. We are blessed and will miss you every minute of every day.
