Hi Mom!
Today marks your "2nd" anniversary in heaven. Where did the time go? Seems just like yesterday that you took that wonderful journey to heaven. Sure do miss you. Keep watch over us until we meet again!
Love,

Hey Grandma,
Missing you more and more everyday. Where are you when I need you to wipe my tears? :'(

To My Favorite Aunt,
I'm sorry that I didn't sooner. I wrote you a letter right after you passed away, but I pressed the wrong key on my computer and I deleted everything that I wrote. Wanda paid to have your guest book open until July 22, 2011, which is tomorrow, so I must write to you now.
You are one of my favorite Aunts and I miss you dearly! I have so many fun memories with you and your beautiful family. You and Harold raised a great bunch of kids. I try to keep in touch with them as much as possible. Wanda and I go on shopping trips until midnight, once in a while. It's the best time to go because everybody is at home in bed.
I remember all the fun times I had sleeping over at your house on the weekend and waiting to ride the bus to go to church. That was fun!! I also remember the time that I slept over and there was a bat upstairs in your house. Then, it flew downstairs and Michelle and I started screaming.
Remember how everybody said that Michelle and I looked like twins. She is an awesome lady!
I also remember going to McDonald's on Hanover Street in Allentown with you, Michelle, Donna, and me. We went through the drive thru and you said, "No eating, until we pray," so you prayed for our food as we drove away.
I have so many fun memories with you and your family at the bowling alley.
I could go on and on with the great memories that I had with you and your family.
I wish I would've gotten over to visit you while you were in your last days in your home. I just want you to know that I was kept up to date on your condition by Wanda. I would call her often for updates and to tell her to tell you that "I Love You." Those were my last words to Wanda for her to tell you from me.
You have an amazing bunch of children. They are all so helpful and kind to everybody. They would do anything for anybody. You can be very proud of all of them!
Your brother, Billy (my Dad) is doing well. I just went to the shore with my parents and your 2 sisters, Margaret and Marilyn. We talked about when you used to go with them every year to the shore. It isn't the same without you. Nobody will ever replace you!
I miss you a lot! Everytime I see or talk to one of your children, I think of you. Now, you can watch over all of us from Heaven. Make sure that we are all behaving. Ha! Ha!
The "Markell" Family Picnic is next weekend (7/30/11) already. I remember these picnics being at your house. We had a blast!!!!! We went swimming and had chicken fights in the pool. I remember you yelling at us for being on each others shoulders. You were afraid that we would get hurt. You were just being the caring person that you are.
It's hard to believe that you will be in Heaven 2 years tomorrow (7/22/11). I hope you are having a blast up there! One day I will see you up there, then we can catch up on things. It was very hard for me to see you go, but I know that you are in a much better place now. At least now, you are not in any pain.
I am so glad that Wanda brought you over to my house to see my youngest son, Daniel, when he was a baby. I even have a picture of you holding him, with Wanda sitting next to you. I will cherish that picture forever.
I just want you to know that I am here for your kids, if they ever need anything. I will do my best to help them out in anyway that I can. I see Wanda the most. Her and I talk on the phone for at least an hour or more at a time. She has helped me out in so many ways. It's nice to have someone to talk to, since I don't have any sisters. I will hopefully see all of your children at the Markell Family Picnic next Saturday. We will definitely miss you there physically, but I know that you will be there spiritually.
You are a wonderful and loving woman! I had so much fun with you! I miss you and love you lots! It just isn't the same without you.
I could keep on writing, but I must go to bed now.
You take care of yourself and have fun up there in Heaven!
Love,
Your neice, Tammy

Hi Mom!
Today marks your first anniversary in heaven. I'm sure it has been amazing! It's hard to believe that a year has already passed. It just seems like yesterday that you graciously slipped away from us -- Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 9:27 p.m. It hasn't been the same without you. I miss you honey bunny! Until we meet again!
Love,
Wanda

Grandma
I woke up crying this morning, I really didn't want to wake up today because I knew it was going to be a rough day. It's been a year and it hurts more and more everyday. I hate that you aren't here to cheer me up. Your smile brightened my day no matter how bad it was. I miss our dollar store trips and our subway lunches. I miss planting flowers with you all day and getting yelled at for riding your tractor. Most of all I miss the feeling I got when I hugged you. I miss you everyday. I love you more than life.

I know I just wrote to you a week ago but I felt I needed to wish you a happy birthday! Go bowling in heaven tonight and celebrate. I've been thinking about you all day, but that is nothing new. Wish I could see your beautiful smiling face. Love you more than words.
May 18, 2010
Hi Mom!
Happy Birthday on what would have been your "72nd" birthday. Enjoy your birthday party in Heaven!
I miss you more than you could ever imagine. Love you Susie Q!
Love,

Dear Grandma,
You were the best grandmother anyone could ask for. You had such an amazing character. You laughed, played, had fun, and were a very hard worker. I remember back when i was just a little guy in elementary school, I would always come up to your bus in the morning to say good morning. I'd sit there on your lap and talk. It feels like just yesterday. You always had a smile on. You just brightened up my day. Thenk you for always being a great grandmother and taking suck great care of me when i was with you. I love you. You will be greatly missed
August 13, 2009
Wanda,
Losing your mother is one of the hardest things you will ever face in your lifetime! People say "Oh she is in a better place" which should comfort you but you will still miss her all the time. I can't tell how many times I wish I had heaven's phone number so I could give my mom a call. People also say she knows what you are doing, but I think she is having so much fun that she doesn't have time to think of us here still in the rat race. I still cry every time I think of my mom. Sorry for your loss! Love Susan Haydt

TO ALL THE KERN FAMILIES:
YOUR MOTHER WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON. SHE WAS ALWAYS SMILING AND ALWAYS LENDING A HAND TO ALL SHE KNEW. SHE PASSED THOSE TRAITS ONTO THE 6 OF YOU AND INTURN YOU HAVE PASSED IT ONTO YOUR CHILDREN.
I GOT TO KNOW MARTHA THRU BOWLING. SHE COACHED THE BOWLING LEAGUE I WAS IN WHEN I WAS A YOUTH. LATER WE BOTH COACHED THE SAME LEAGUE. WHEN I BOWLED ADULT, WE WERE IN THE SAME LEAGUE ALWAYS HAVING FUN.
LATER I BECAME THE "ADOPRED CHILD" AND WE ALL JOKED ABOUT IT. I WAS INVITED TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND WEDDINGS.
ONE DAY WANDA GAVE ME A CALL AND ASKED ME TO HELP OUT WITH MARTHA. I WAS MORE THAN WILLING AND ABLE TO HELP YOU GUYS ANYWAY I COULD. IN THE BEGINNING, MARTHA AND I WOULD TALK ABOUT BOWLING , DANCE IN THE KITCHEN AND GO FOR RIDES. LATER IT WAS JUST TO MAKE HER COMFORTABLE..
THE 6 OF YOU CHOSE TO KEEP HER IN HER HOME AND TAKE CARE OF HER 24/7. AFTER AWHILE ONE COULD TELL WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT WAS BY WHICH ONE OF YOU WERE AT THE HOUSE.
I ADMIRE ALL OF YOU FOR DOING THAT. YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB. I AM POSITIVE MOM KNEW IT ALSO. BECAUSE OF HOW YOU KEPT HER AT HOME I HAVE DECIDED, IF NEEDED, TO DO THE SAME FOR MY MOTHER EVEN THOU I WORK IN A NURSING HOME.
SHE IS AT PEACE NOW. I AM SURE SHE IS WATCHING EVERY MOVE WE ALL MAKE.
TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU. YOU ARE ONE HECK OF A FAMILY AND I AM GLAD I KNOW ALL OF YOU.

Dear Michelle,
There are know words to ease the pain when you lose a loved one such as a parent. I lost my father 2 years ago in Oct 2007 and I still have moments of saddness and tears for I loved my father dearly. But with the support of good friends and family it really helps you through and knowing that your mom is in the hands of GOD and his Angels you can believe that she is in a better place watching over all of you no longer in pain. She is saying to all of you cry no more my children for I have concord my illness and no longer am suffering. Believing in that and your faith in God will help you through this trying time. In closing I would like to share with you a poem I received when my father died in hopes to give you some inner peace.
Weep not for me though I am gone
into that gentle night
Grieve if you will,but not for long
upon my soul's sweet flight
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
there is no need for tears
For with your love I was so
blessed
For all those many years
There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear now all is gone
Put know these things out of
your thoughts
In your memory I live on
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon
my death
BUT CELEBRATE MY LIFE!
May God bless you and your
family Michelle!

Michelle, Wanda, Donna, Keith, Bup & Terry-
When my dad passed away in 1996 the following poem was shared with me and I wanted to share it all with you. When you read the words you will have a sense of knowing that your Mom is still here with you all, but just in "The Next Room".
Love,
Terri
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

MOM,
YOU WERE SO MANY THINGS TO ME:
A TEACHER-- I HAVE LEARNED SO MANY THINGS OVER THE YEARS. NOW IT IS MY TIME TO PASS THOSE LESSONS ON TO ZACHARY.
A BEST FRIEND--YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME WHEN I WAS IN NEED TO LAUGH WITH, TO CRY, OR JUST TO LISTEN.
A MOTHER--YOU WERE MORE THAN JUST A MOTHER YOU WERE THE MOST WOUDERFUL MOM THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE ASK FOR.
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR LOVE FOR ICE CREAM. YOU AND I DROVE MILES AWAY TO GET A DISH OF ICE CREAM FROM LIEBY'S.
WHEN YOU BECAME SICK AND YOUR SPEECH WAS TAKEN YOUR FACE STILL LIT UP WHEN YOU HEARD DO YOU WANT ICE CREAM I KNEW THE ANSWER. ZACHARY WAS ABLE TO SHARE IN THE MEMORIES WHEN HE FED YOU ICE CREAM THE LAST MONDAY AT HOME.
YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE NO MORE PAIN. GO CHASE THE BUTTERFLIES UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN.
I LOVE YOU MOM!

Dear Kern Family-
Our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your Mom.
What a wonderful bunch of children she raised. I know that having all of you take care of her up until the very end shows how well she raised each and everyone of you. Know that she is in Heaven now at peace and out of pain, smiling down on her own "Kern Bunch".
I loss my grandmother to the same disease and it was very hard to see her decline, as I am sure it was for all of you. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to meet your Mom and get to know her before she became ill.
Know that I am here for you Michelle for anything that you need. You can call on me anytime you need to talk, cry, or just have someone listen. Michelle you are an amazing woman and I hope that Pnuts and I have raised our sons to be as loving and caring as you and your brothers and sisters are.
Take comfort in knowing that your Mom is now free and at peace in her mind.
Love,
Terri, Pnuts, Frank and Kyle

So sorry to hear the loss of your loved one. I will always remember the good times we had growing up camping and hanging out at the Bowling Alley. Martha always had a smile on her face. Cherish the memories that all of you have made and shared with your mother while she was hear with you all and in time this will help heal the gap that was left. Life throws mayn challenges at us to see how we cope with it and if you all stick together and help one another through this process your pain won't be as hard. May Martha now rest in peace in a better place. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

To Michelle , Mark & Zachary.
I'm really sorry for your loss.
Just remember Martha is in a better
place now, watching over all of you.
"A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.
Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.
On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn."
Rest In Peace Martha.
