I really miss them and YOU...Holidays are still the toughest.....and today, Scott turning 50 !! How about that...3 of your kids turning 50 !! Miss you more than these words can say...I love you so much...xoxoxoxoxoxox

Ma,
I just can't say ENOUGH of how much you've touched my life and ALL the things in life that you've taught me just about "LIVING"!! I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH and as we come upon the anniversary of your death it makes me just know to live each day as it's my last!! You have always taught us to enjoy each and EVERY day as you just NEVER know when is when!!! Anyway, I know I'm rambling on but I JUST WISH, how much I WISHED you were still here!! I have no one to REALLY TALK to about "things" that ONLY a mother and daughter can do!!! I know you're ALWAYS near and watching over ALL your us!!! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!!!

LOVE ALWAYS,

Traci

Happy 72nd Mom !!...I know...2 days late !

Thought about you (and Kyle !) all day... Wish you were here to celebrate with ! I miss you all the time...It HAS gotten a little easier and I smile instead of cry when I think of you. Life is certainly different without you and I know you are with me all the time. Great big hugs and kisses...Thanks for being my mom...Love forever and ever....

Ma,
Yesterday was one of the most surrealest day of my life!! I know you tought me to be strong but it was the MOST horrible day in my life. The only thing to get me through yesterday was seeing that rainbow in the sky and I KNEW right there and then that you were waiting for Ry-guy! :-) I MISS and THINK of you everyday. Please look over Mike and Lindy and keep that lil' Ry-guy by your side.

Love and MISS YOU!!

Traci

January 28, 2008

Thinking about you alot lately. So many things we should be doing together and can't...Wish I could hug you right now..and tell you so many things and look in your eyes while doing that..but I just have to quietly say them in my heart cause you can hear me. It isn't the holidays anymore that hurt...but the everyday things I miss the most. I love and miss you, Mom...very much.

Dear Sis,

Like Lori, I miss you also. I went to "visit" you last week and leave a wreath. I'd give anything to hear your hello again. Please know we are doing our best without you, you and Mom loved Christmas so much as did I but no longer like it used to be. I love you Sis.
Love, Shirl

Laura Casey

December 2, 2007

I find another Christmas coming up, and you arent here. I miss you so much, Mom....Everything about the holidays was you...the baking, the decorations, the special ornaments on your beautiful tree, the cards and your smile. You put your heart into Christmas...it NEVER was the gifts...it was all of us together, laughing and being together. Your little touches on everything....I miss them all....and I miss you the most....Will it ever be any easier? You would have been so proud of Kyle as he hosted Thanksgiving this year. Yes, we were all together and he helped make your special stuffing ! I love you so...and will miss you the rest of my life.

Always proud to be your daughter,

Laura xoxoxoxoxoxox

Mom...Yesterday was a day of rememberence and tribute...You were one of the most loved women Ive ever known. I went up to visit you...and your garden is beautitul. Its hard to believe its been a year since Ive heard your voice, heard your laughter or felt your hugs. Ill be leaving here as soon as I can and move near the ocean again. Its just not the same without you and I miss you so much. You would tell me to move on...so I am...Until I see you again...I love you Mom..xoxoxox

My Dearest Sis,
I haven't forgotten you left me a year ago today, how could I? Your son has left you a beautiful tribute you so deserved. I MISS YOU SO.
Love, Shirl

Laura

May 26, 2007

By the way....I just want to say that the memorial stone and garden are just beautiful...and Joel , Im guessing, did a magnificent job. Its a lovely tribute and one made from the heart.....Its nice to see it all finished and when the flowers bloom, Mom will have her garden like she always loved. Thanks for giving her the tribute she so deserves.

May 23, 2007

Dear Sis,
It's been almost a year since you left us, I still find it so hard to accept. Please know I'm "standing" in for you regarding Jeffrey whom you worried so much about, he's doing fine. I had to learn to get past Mother's Day without Mom and now you.
I love and miss you SO MUCH.

Mom....It was hard for me NOT to see you on your 70th Birthday ! I miss you sooooo much....but glad I was given the strength to go to where you rest. While I was standing there, the birds were singing so loudly, I knew you were with me. Thanks for being my Mom and know how much you are loved and missed.xoxoxo
You are always on my mind and in my heart.

Ma,
Well it's your birthday already and I CAN'T believe you've been gone almost a year. We MISS and LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!!! The boys miss you too!! They ask about you and wish you were still here, too! I'll be up to visit you soon!! You might not be here physically but alls I have to do is think of you (which is OFTEN) and you touch me. Stay at peace and I'll be talking to you soon!!!

Love ALWAYS!!!

Mom,
I miss you so much...I think of you every day. So many times I have gone to the phone to tell you something...and I stop and cry...What I wouldn't give to have you smile at me...to hold my face when you kissed my face....I really didn't know what I would miss...When you left, you took a piece of my life with you....Take care Mom....and greet me with a kiss when I see you again...I love you..I love you...I love you. xoxoxoxox
