My dear husband, it will be six years on Sunday that you left us.... How I miiss you. J is finishing up his 2nd year of college at Allegheny. He received a 4 year scholastic scholarship. L just finished participating in his 4 thyear of the school plays. M is cheerleading, dancing and doing track. C is playing football and M is dancing, cheerleading and is a real girlie girl - no jeans. They are all excellent students. C&A built a beautiful home in back of the old one, loved watching A tear it down the old house, each of them had a wack at it with the machine. Me, well I still have good days and bad. I purchased a small house down from C&A, which I love and have done many renovations plus put on a garage I found a christian contractor that doesn't take me for a ride and treats me the same as he would want someone to treat his wife had he passed away. I am sure you would like him. C&A and the kids help me out, which I so appreciate. Still can't pump gas!! Love having not to clean off my car in the winter. I imagine J has told you all about your grandson M that you never had a chance to meet. M&M are living in South America. They both love it there, very relaxing and laidback. I am so glad J has reunited with you as I will some day. Until we meet again.... I will love you forever and a day. Always your wife, Chris

I didn't make it past Aunt Debbie's post until I started crying so there is no way I will be able to read your posts, mom.
Love you Dad!

Dearest Chris,Jeremy,Megan,Carrie, Albert and all my amazing great nephews and neices whom I love so very much,
Tomorrow will be a year since Rick passed it's always so hard to believe how time truly flies by. It will be 8 yrs. since Holly has passed. It truly seems just like yesterday sometimes. It has gotten much easier over these yrs. and it will for all of you...I promise. It's just really hard to believe at times that our loved ones are gone. Rick was the most awesome man, brother-in-law there could ever be. I miss him and as I sit here writing this with tears running down my face I know that someday we will all see him again and in a much better place. The reasons that make me the saddest is that he won't be here to watch his grandchildren grow up into amazing adults. Life just truly doesn't seem fair at times and we sure don't know the reasons why. Just please know that I love each and every one of you and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Rick rest in peace and know that you did make a difference in this life that we are all living in. I love you & miss you. Your fave sister-in-law, Debbie

DEAREST RICK,
SOON IT WILL BE ONE YEAR SINCE I LAST HEARD YOUR VOICE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. MY HEART ACHES EVERYDAY FOR YOU. THIS WILL BE MY LAST LETTER (YOUR LEGACY WILL BE OFF LINE SOON)MY BELOVED
HUSBAND AS I MUST MOVE FORWARD TO LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU. FUNNY, WE THOUGHT WE HAD ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO GROW "OLD AND GRAY" TOGETHER. BUT GOD HAD SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MIND. ONE THING THAT MAKES ME HAPPY IS KNOWING YOU ARE NO LONGER IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN NOR ARE YOU CONFUSED FROM ALL THE MEDICATIONS. I HAVE A FEELING YOU WERE READY TO LEAVE THIS LIFE ON EARTH AND THAT IS WHY YOU KEPT TELLING ME YOU FELT FINE. BUT YOU DIDN'T; YOU KNEW I WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP YOU BY MY SIDE. IT HAS TAKEN ME THIS WHOLE YEAR TO REALIZE HOW SELFISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OF ME. NOT THINKING ABOUT YOU AND HOW MUCH PAIN YOU WERE LIVING WITH; FOR THAT I AM TRULY SORRY. GOOD NEWS... HEARD FROM J TODAY; HE AND M SHOULD HAVE A BABY SOMETIME THIS YEAR. THEY HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS ADOPTION. I WISH YOU COULD BE HERE TO SEE YOUR NEW GRANDCHILD BUT I KNOW YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW IF IT IS A BOY OR GIRL. LUCKY YOU! THEY HAVE STARTED TO BUY BABY ITEMS AND PREPARE THE NURSERY FOR THE NEW ARRIVAL. C AND A HAD A GOOD WINE GRAPE CROP THIS YEAR. THEY EXPECT TO START BUILDING THEIR HOUSE THIS SUMMER. J L M C M ARE ALL EXCITED. THEY ARE ALL DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL. J IS STILL TAKING ADVANCED CLASSES; I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WILL BE 16. HE IS DOING TRACK,CROSS COUNTRY AND ON A BOWLING TEAM. L AND C ARE IN TROOP 151 BOY SCOUTS. M AND M ARE STILL DANCING. YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF THEM. THEY MISS YOU. PLEASE CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER THEM. AS FOR ME: I'M DOING OKAY. BUT KNOW, YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN MY HEART. I WILL CHERISH ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WE SHARED OVER THESE PAST 37 YEARS. UNTIL THE TIME WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, I WILL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU FOREVER AND A DAY. GOOD NIGHT MY LOVE, A KISS FOREVER AND ALWAYS AND A HUG TO TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY. ALWAYS, CHRIS

HI HONEY, I DIDN'T FORGET YOU YESTERDAY, IT WAS A SAD BUT JOYOUS DAY FOR ME. I REREAD THE CARD YOU GAVE ME LAST YEAR. GIVING ME COMFORT, KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME AND I CRIED TEARS OF SORROW AND HAPPINESS. I REMEMBER WHEN I MET YOU IN 1975; YOU MADE MY HEART SKIP A BEAT! WE HAD SOME ROUGH PATCHES OVER THE YEARS BUT OUR DEVOTION AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER GOT US OVER THOSE HURDLES AND MADE US STRONGER. I WISH I COULD HAVE THOSE 38 YEARS BACK, BUT THE MEMORIES WILL HAVE TO GET ME THROUGH. OH, THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES I HAVE. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER MY NAME WAS THE LAST SPOKEN BEFORE YOU LEFT THIS EARTH. I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAYING MY NAME. GOD HAS BLESSED ME BY MAKING YOU MY "SPECIAL ANGEL" HE KNOWS HOW MUCH I MISS AND LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OVER ME AND KEEPING ME SAFE. ABOUNDING KISSES, HUGS,AND LOVE. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MY DEAR RICK LOVE FOREVER AND A DAY,CHRIS

HI HONEY, DIFFERENT LIGHT A CANDLE, REALLY LIKE THIS ONE. WELL, SUPER BOWL XLVIII IS OVER AND J, I BET,IS NOT TOO PLEASED. THE SEAHAWKS RAN OVER THE BRONCOS LIKE A TRAIN WRECK! SCORE 43/8 HISTORY WAS MADE BY PERCY HARVIN OF THE SEAHAWKS FASTEST SCORE EVER IN THE SUPER BOWL, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND HALF.HE INTERCEPTED THE BALL AND RAN 87 YDS. FOR A TOUCHDOWN!!!! NOW YOU KNOW I HEARD THIS ON TV OR READ IT IN THE PAPER, NO SPORTS FOR ME. DID I TELL YOU L/C ARE 2ND GENERATION 151 TROOPERS. M WON A DESIGN A T-SHIRT CONTEST AT SCHOOL FOR THE TALENT SHOW. L/M DID A HIP HOP DANCE AND A HIP HOP ACROBATICS DANCE WITH 2 OF THEIR FRIENDS. WAS A GREAT SHOW, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD. HAD A BAD FALL ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO, SLIPPED ON A PATCH OF ICE, MY HEAD HIT THE CEMENT BOUNCED UP AND HIT AGAIN. I HAD 2 SIZABLE BUMPS ON MY HEAD. C SPENT THE NIGHT TO MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY. BACK TO TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL SINCE THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT. I LOVE TEACHING THEM ABOUT GOD AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES THEM. IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD,OUR CHILDREN,AND MY CHURCH FAMILY I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THESE LAST 10 1/2 MONTHS. PASTOR WAS THERE WHEN EVER I NEEDED HIM AND MY FRIENDS ARE MY ANGELS HERE ON EARTH. THE WEATHER IS STILL BITTER COLD - CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!?! C/A WANT TO START BUILDING THEIR HOUSE THIS SPRING/SUMMER, COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW EXPENSIVE THINGS ARE,GLAD WE BUILT LITTLE BY LITTLE. YOU BUILT US A WONDERFUL HOME AND IT WAS ALL WORTH THE WAIT. I JUST WISH YOU WERE HERE TO HELP C/A. REMEMBER THOSE DAYS: MOVING IN WITH NO WATER AND OUR 2ND BABY ON THE WAY, GOING TO EACH PARENTS TO SHOWER,WASH CLOTHES AND DO DISHES. LEARNED HOW TO MAKE ALOT OF MEALS ON THAT GRILL. YOU KNOW THOSE WERE GOOD TIMES AND I WOULD DO THEM OVER AGAIN. I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH, I WISH YOU WERE HERE IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT; TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOUR TELLING ME THE SAME. YOUR LOVE, HUGS AND KISSES I CARRY IN MY HEART EACH AND EVERY DAY. THE DAY YOU DIED A PART OF ME WENT WITH YOU, KNOWING THAT WE WOULD NEVER GROW OLD TOGETHER OR DO THE THINGS WE PLANNED. THIS WAS BOTH TRULY DEVASTATING AND HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE WE HAD BOTH WORKED SO HARD TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL AND RELAX, ENJOYING OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT HOW THEY HAVE GROWN AND SO PROUD OF EACH ONE OF THEM. WRITING TO YOU THROUGH LEGACY HAS REALLY HELPED ME, I FEEL THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO ALL I SAY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE SIDED. BUT HONEY, I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN AT ME AND KEEPING ME SAFE. WILL TALK TO YOU LATER. I LOVE YOU, CHRIS

GOOD MORNING MY LOVING HUSBAND, THOUGHT I WOULD BRING YOU UP TO DATE ON WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AROUND HERE. THE TREE IN THE BACKYARD THAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO FALL OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, DID. I THOUGHT THERE WAS WAS EARTHQUAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, NO DAMAGE. WEATHER HAS BEEN BITTER COLD, FURNACE NEVER STOPS RUNNING. CHRISTMAS WAS GREAT BUT BITTERSWEET, WE MISSED YOU. J/M WERE HERE FOR THE HOLIDAYS ALONG WITH THEIR DOG ELWAY. COMPARED TO ROXY IS LOOKED LIKE HORSE! BOY, DID IT SHED. SO AT TIMES I HAD 7-9 PEOPLE PLUS 3 DOGS IN THE HOUSE...IT WAS NICE TO SEE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW, THE KIDS PLAYED FOOTBALL AND DID SOME SNOW BOARDING, MADE ME THINK BACK TO WHEN J/C WERE YOUNG AND YOU WOULD GO SLEDDING IN THE BACKYARD WITH THEM. GUESS WHAT? AFTER ALMOST 3 YRS. THEY ARE FINDING OUT ABOUT SOME OF MY MEDICAL PROBLEMS. WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS VERTIGO WAS BOTH OF MY INNER EARS THE CRYSTALS WERE TERRIBLY OFF BALANCE, PROBLEM FIXED. THROUGH MORE EXTENSIVE MRI'S CTA'S AND X-RAYS, ETC. THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH MY NECK - GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR THAT. ADDITIONAL BLOOD WORK IS SHOWING A FEW PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF. SO I EXPECT TO BE A NEW PERSON SOON!!!! WITH THE JANUARY THAW AND ALL THE SNOW MELTING ALL AT ONCE I HAD SOME WATER SEEPAGE IN APART OF THE FAMILY ROOM BUT THAT IS NOW TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE WONDERFUL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HELPED ME AND OF COURSE THE KIDS ALSO. WENT TO GET THE MAIL TODAY AND THE NEW MAILMAN FIXED THE DAMAGE THE PLOWS HAD DONE TO THE MAILBOX DOOR. HE IS SO NICE, JUST LIKE OUR PREVIOUS ONE. I WILL NEED TO PAY IT ON. I KNOW YOU ARE NOW MY GUARDIAN ANGEL AND ARE HELPING ME THRU THESE THINGS YOU TOOK CARE OF AND ARE NOW MINE TO DO. I KNOW YOU WILL LAUGH WHEN STILL MY BIGGEST HANGUP IS PUMPING GAS, THANK HEAVENS KWIK FIL STILL PUMPS IT FOR YOU! WELL MY LOVE, I MUST GET SOME WORK DONE AROUND HERE AS I HAVE NO MAID TO DO IT FOR ME..... ALWAYS LOVING YOU, BABE

TODAY I AM GOING TO A FRIENDS HOUSE THE DINNER, SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAVE BEEN MY ANGELS SINCE YOUR PASSING. MY DENTAL WORK IS COMPLETED. I HAD THE WATER FIXED (NO MORE ROTTEN EGG SMELL); WISH WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO. HAVE BEEN OUT TO DINNER WITH B&M A FEW TIMES,M FIXED THE TAURUS, NOW IT IS UP AND RUNNING. UNCLE JOHN HAD A PICNIC, IT WAS NICE SEEING EVERYONE. I HAVE JOINED A CRAFT CLUB AT CHURCH, WE MEET ONCE A MONTH - YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE DOING CRAFTS. WENT TO SEE "NOAH" IN LANCASTER - IT WAS GREAT! ALSO STOPPED AT FLIGHT 93, IT WAS VERY HEARTBREAKING, WROTE A POEM AND LEFT IT THERE. I AM HELPING WITH THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT; IT IS GOING TO BE WONDERFUL, NOTHING LIKE IT BEFORE BUT AT THE SAME TIME TRADITIONAL. J&M MIGHT BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. THEN IT WILL BE A FAMILY CHRISTMAS BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE YOU. I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH IT HURTS. THE PAIN OF THINKING YOU ARE NOT HERE WITH ME IS UNBEARABLE. I KNOW YOU ARE HERE IN SPIRIT AND YOU ARE PROTECTING ME. IF I COULD HAVE A CHRISTMAS WISH IT WOULD BE TO SEE YOU ONE MORE TIME AND TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND TO HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS IF JUST FOR A MOMENT. LOST WITHOUT YOU, YOUR DEVOTED WIFE, CHRIS

hello my dear sweet husband, well the hawks have left, roxy is happy she is able to go out by herself now! c. bought a huge drum set,no toy but an adult set; is charging his sisters and brothers $1,if they want to try them out and use them for "short" time. sounds as though he might be the entrepreneur in the family.. i was so excited, j. came over and showed me how to store animated pictures in my library, so i can use them whenever. i have gone from loving my stickers, then the icons on the computer to animation.. not much new, kids start school next monday.which means m. starts and her mom won't know what to do... was going to take her to breakfast but i have an 8am dental appt. l & m will be having their b-day party this saturday. that will be 5 months we have been without you, miss you more each day than the day before. i have to try and e-mail ray again,still no word from him. i will be thinking about you more on saturday, i know how you loved going to the kids parties. with all the instruments, this year should be a huge production. love forever and a day. chris

MY AUNT ESTHER & UNCLE CLIFF'S DAUGHTER PASSED AWAY ON MONDAY. I LIVED WITH AUNT ESTHER & UNCLE CLIFF WHEN I WAS YOUNG.SHE HAD HEART SURGERY, WAS DOING WELL,SAID HER ARM WAS BOTHERING HER,HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED. I KNOW JUST HOW THEY FEEL! I HATED THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO GO TO A FUNERAL HOME SO SOON, BUT I DID. I WAS ABLE TO VISIT WITH MY "BIG BROTHER" FOR ALMOST 2 HRS. TALKING ABOUT OLD TIMES AND ALL THE HAPPY MEMORIES OF AUNT ESTHER AND UNCLE CLIFF. I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO THE FUNERAL HOME, WHEN AUNT ESTHER DIED (YOU HAD YOUR ACCIDENT) SO I WAS HAPPY I WENT AND WAS ABLE TO TALK WITH LARRY. HE IS 10 YRS OLDER BUT I IDOLIZED HIM WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOUR BROTHER IN A LONG TIME, EMAILED HIM BUT NO ANSWER; HOPE HE'S OKAY. SO HOW WAS THE REUNION? IT MUST BE EXCITING TO SEE YOUR BROTHER,TALKING, RUNNING AND PLAYING BALL; LIKE RAY SAID IN ANTHONY'S EULOGY. TELL MY MOM AND EVERYONE I SAID HEY. I KNOW EVERY TIME I WRITE, I TELL YOU HOW MUCH I MISS YOU,IT'S TRUE. MY LOVE IS WITH YOU EACH DAY.I WANT SO MUCH TO JUST PUT MY ARMS AROUND YOU AND NEVER LET GO, BUT THAT WOULD BE SELFISH OF ME. YOU ARE NO LONGER IN PAIN AND I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. EVERYONE SAYS IT WILL GET BETTER BUT IT DOESN'T, YOU JUST LEAD A DIFFERENT LIFE, BUT THE PAIN NEVER LEAVES YOU. LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY. CHRIS

To my Dear Sister, I'm so very sad that you have lost your love. Rick was loving, caring and compassionate. He was truly a good man and surely will be missed. I miss him although I didn't see much of him. I always enjoyed our talks on the phone. I miss the good Ole days at your house for picnics, family get togethers and holidays...always enjoyed and looked forward to them. Always alot of work for you and Rick though.
It's very hard to believe he is gone...but there is now one more angel to watch over everyone. He is now at peace with all our other loved ones in heaven. No more pain, no more anguish and worry.
I want you to know that I'm here for you always and that I'm so very proud of you, you are strong and you will be alright. I love you. Lovingly your Sister, Debora
