hi Mom,

Thsi will be the last time I can write to you in this guest book. Although i am not reallya guest, I feel better talking to you. I miss you so bad that I am not functioning as I should be. Yep I am being the cry baby yo said I was and just can not stop. We had a bond that only you and i know, we had a love that was so speical and intense. You have been my best friend since I can remember. ALL the times you took me to see Leo for lunch, all of our shopping trips were to much to count. I can rmember before Leah was born you and i would get together at least 3 to 4 times a week. Now I can't even make a decision on a shower curtain. I know I have to move forward but it is so hard to do without my best friend, my Mom...I am trying to find peace but can not. I am trying to enjoy things but can not. I need yu to help me eventually, not know stay with corri now, but pretty soon Mom. I love you so much and wish I could smooch your face. that you to make you laugh!! You are forever in my heart

Bye for now MOM

Dear Mom,
We're going up north this weekend to your favorite spot to see the leaves,, and we'll spread the remainder of your ashes there, so you'll always be a part of this beautiful place, especially in October, your favorite time of year. I miss you so much, but don't even realize most times that you're not here because that's too much to "realize", or "to be a reality", you know? Aunt Rita says that every night she talks to you when she says her prayers, and that there is a particular star in the sky, every night, that "blinks" and she says "is that you Aggie, and it blinks again, so she tells you all she did that day, and that she misses you. You made such a difference in her life. You made such a difference in so many lives. It's funny that she talks about that star, and reminds me of a quote that says friends are like stars, you can't always see them,, but you always know they are there. I love you, my forever friend. It comforts me to know that you live on in my soul,, and so a part of you is, and will always be, with me.

Hi Mom,

I wrote this entire letter and then lost it! Yep that is me. We went to get your belongings today from your apartment and it really stinks...It was no longer my Mom's home, it was just an empty apartment. All your beautiful things, moved around the family which is good and we will donate some. The people moving in there will not know that there were two beautiful loving people living in that home for about 10 years. That they raised 5 beautiful, loving, caring children, who were able to pass that on to their children, who in turn are passing it on to their children. The circle of life and it began with you and Dad. I go to call you when my grandkids do something cute which is alot and your not there and the phone has been disconnected. It makes me feel disconnected. We will connect some how someway again, I know that our love and bond is to strong to go away. I was not a cry baby today (maybe a little), but I felt so empty leaving there. So many people loved you Mom. My heart is broke but will mend in time. I need you to look over Corri right now, guide her and protect her, please Mom and Dad. She needs it right now and I know you will be there for her. The rest of us can wait. I Love you so very much. I miss you so very much...you will be forever in my heart.
Love you Mom
Bonnie

As we were away at the time of your mother's passing, Brenda and I wanted to send you our deepest sympathy. As for me, I go way back with the McGuires from Victoria Street to Passaconway Drive. From the Delaney campaigns, to having a glass of Fleishmans with your father, at J.J. Turner's. I remember your mother as always being a kind wonderful person, just like your dad. He was so much fun to be with. I cherish the picture I have of him and I taken some 20 years ago. They are both together now at peace, and I am sure looking down on their great family with pride.

Dear Mom,, I didn't know what to do this morning, but it was such a hurried morning with getting the baby ready and off to Laurie's, so that helped some. It was my first day back to work and I didn't know what to do at lunch time today, when I headed to your house and then changed my mind about that... I have been strong, stronger than I thought I could be. They say time heals all things and we know that. But I don't know what to do without you. I want to tell you that I am so lost without you, but I don't want you to be sad. I hope that your soul is at peace and all you can feel now is love, and faith, and peace,, knowing for sure, unlike any of us here can know, that we'll meet again. I love you Mom, and I miss you so much

Mom,

You were my strength, when I was weak, my rock and my hero. Without you I would not be the person I am today. I miss you so much already, but I know you are in peace with Dad and the rest of our beautiful family that we have lost. Yes I am being a cry baby, but only because I have lost such a big part of my life, having lost you. I thought losing my daddy was hard but losing you is sooo hard. I love you so much and I know you knew that, so it's a little easier. Like we said no regrets...You are in every single one of us and the strength and courage you showed was not only commendable, it was who you are and the way you even in death proctected your children. You are an incredible woman who will be missed by so many people. You passed your strength down to us and we are so luckly to have had you. I Love you Mom, my forever best friend, and I will miss you with all my heart. Leah, Adriana, Kami and Anthony were blessed to have there granny.
We will all miss you
I love you Mom
Bonnie
