Mom,
I miss you so very much. I don't have any friends that I can discuss things with like I did with you. I have Dave he is a great Blessing but not in the same way you were. I am so lonely the void that was left when God took you is unfillable. I feel like a burden to everyone I can't make this pain go away. When you died I feel like everyone else was taken also. You were the glue. You would not be happy with things the way they are. I don't know how to deal with the changes. No more funny calls after you ordering QVC you were my only friend beside Dave. And I miss you GREATLY Why do things have to change. I Love You. It just hurts so much. I am tired.

Danny, I'm so sorry about Joan. My Mother and I were talking after you had called her and we were saying how fun those cookouts were that you and Joan had every year. I loved her chicken wings and I would tell her that every time I saw her.

Denise and Family

Ther are no words that we can say that is going to make this time in your life any better. All we can say is that we love you and will always be here for you whenever you need us. Your mom was a great person. When you think of her, think of her smile, think of her love for you. Always remember no matter if she is here or in heaven she will always be with you in your heart. All you have to do is look up and talk to her she will always be there looking out for you. You will find yourself talking out loud to her (ha ha) and your not going crazy. She is always listening, she will help if she can but if not, always know she is there... Evereyone loved Joannie
Joannie we love and miss you

Love Always,
John, Debbie, Brian and Matt
