Well Mom, I didn't make it up to the cemetery for Mother's day this year. The weather and plants were just not good this year. You can trust though that you were on my mind every day before and on Mother's Day and every day after for that matter. I did get out and buy plants for the cemetery and delivered them to all the graves Friday, May 27th. I made it there before memorial day like you would have wanted. I'm still working on getting one up to your mom and dad's grave. I miss you so much. This has been such a weird few years. Between the pandemic and Ron having a heart attack and then passing away, life just seems so strange. I feel like I've been in some kind of limbo. Love you, mom. You are never far from my thoughts.

Hi mom! I'm sure I don't have to tell you about the pandemic that has driven the whole world crazy for the past 2 1/2 years. It has made our lives miserable. This past year has been a year full of firsts since Ron joined you and everyone last March. He passed just before Easter last year and then every holiday thereafter until now has seemed so much harder since he went to join you. The kids and I miss him horribly. Sometimes when I walk into the living room I can almost see him sitting there on the couch or expect to see him. There's times when I think I hear him yelling to me while I'm doing the dishes or in another room doing something. He used to call out to me and I'd stop what I was doing to see what he wanted. That faint voice still seems to come through even now. I hope he's there with you and dad. He loved you both so much. Keep an eye on us mom. I talk to you every day. I hope you still hear me. Love you!

Well mom, just wished Bill a Happy Birthday. I miss you all so much. Life is a little harder now, knowing that at any time it can end. I'm so happy I got to see my grandkids and I'm also happy you got to have some great times with all of yours. You always made things better in all our lives. Give Bill a hug for me and wish him happy birthday. Love you always!

Today is Mom's birthday (I know you already know), but I wanted to thank you for having her Grandma because she is THE BEST MOM!! You were THE BEST GRANDMA, so it make sense!!

I see a female and male cardinal almost every day, (at my new house that I wish I could show you in person, but please peak down if you have a chance;)!), I always hope it's you and Grandpa! I love you always!

Mom, I will miss you forever til I see you again. I'm sure you are looking down on us and making sure we are ok. I hope you, Dad, Billy, Ronnie, Todd, Cliffie and Dicky are all together and having the life you deserve. You were the greatest mom ever. Missing you and Bill so much, probably cuz I had you both the longest. Hugs and Kisses. love you, Bev

Well this May will mark 6 years since you went to be with the Lord. I will forever miss you. I think of you every day. I hope you have found peace. You were such a prayer warrior for everyone. Rosalie has passed on and brought up so many old memories of when she and Dick lived upstairs. Those times were such fun, it's nice to have happy times to remember. I hope you are looking down on all of us with happy thoughts. I have a new grandson, Lucas. I'm sure I don't have to tell you how cute and fun he is. I know you are watching over us. I love you mom, forever and always. Bev

Mom, I know you know how I'm feeling today. It's been two years since you left us. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you. You left such a mark on your whole family. We all miss you, Dad and Billy so much. Prepare a place for us while your waiting to see us all again. Love you Mom

Mom, this will be our first Christmas without you with us, but you are with us in spirit. I miss you so much every day. Sometimes it's so hard to be at the house because it seems so empty without you. I'm always doing things around the house that would make you happy, and then I realize your not there. Bonnie misses you also. I am so blessed to have had a mom like you. You were the best. I only hope I'm half the mother you were. I'm sure you're at peace now. I'm hoping next year will bring much happier times. It was tough losing you and Bill so close together, but at least your together. I love you, Bev

I miss you. I know you're watching over me now with Grandpa, but it's not the same! You were more than I could have asked for and I will always have you both in my heart.

Mom, you will be forever in my thoughts. I couldn't have hand-picked a better mother or grandmother than you were to me and my children. You always made me feel loved and appreciated no matter what was happening in my life. Your kind, loving and gentle spirit reached far beyond your immediate family to all of our friends we brought home with us for lunch or dinner or just a safe haven. You always made everyone feel comfortable and wanted. Others needs and feelings always came before your own. You were "Mom" to many more than your own five children. I will cherish our relationship always and hope that I have learned from your example. Love, your daughter, Beverly
