Danielle Bogart Obituary
Danielle Joanne Bogart
She was born January 23, 1947 to Charles Edward and Mildred Josephine Byran.
She was preceded in death by the love of her life James Edward Bogart, whom she was married to for 44 years.
She is survived by her four loving children, Ginny (Mike) McClanahan, Edward (Emily) Bogart, Michele (Tripper) Liden and Darica (Derek) Dietrich; her grandchildren, Daniel Bogart, Timothy (Katie) Bogart, Katie Liden and Alyssa Acosta; and great-grandson, Austin Eldred. She is also survived by her brothers, Larry (Sandy) Byran and Scott Byran. She had many more friends and family who held a special place in her heart.
The greatest joy of her life was spending time with her children and grandchildren and her special puppy Kelso. She never let us leave without telling us she loved us. She loved springtime and being outside planting flowers. She always pulled us aside to show us something new she had done to her yard.
Danielle was the most kind and caring woman to all who met her. She had enough hugs for all who needed them and she will be missed so much. Her greatest gift was her ability to love everyone with her whole heart.
We invite you to a celebration of her life Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 1 p.m. at the Darrington Community Center.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

It breaks my heart to read all of your love notes to Daddy after he left us. I knew you were in pain, but you hid it so well. I wish I had had more time to spend with you, to help ease your pain. But you were pulled away too soon and now I'm the one left writing love notes to both of you.

Dear mom, I can't believe that in 2 days you will have been gone for 10 years. We miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You have missed out on so many milestones. New great grandbabies, weddings,just so many things. We all would do anything to have you and daddy back. Little katie is on her way to becoming a nurse. You would be so proud of your family. They are all such amazing, loving, caring people. I am so proud to call them my family. Just st wish that you were here to see them all blossoming. They are the best. I love you mama. Please always remember that.

Dear Grandmother,
Today was my 32nd birthday and I was gifted the greatest gift of them all... I was finally able to adopt Austin and officially make him a Bogart. It's been a long time coming! My only wish is that you and Grandpa were here to celebrate with us.

So many things remind me of you. Spring is finally here and the snow has left the yard. I know this time of year was your favorite. Flowers coming out always lifted your spirits. I wish you were here to still enjoy that. I miss just being able to talk to you and share things. You had such a loving heart for everybody you met. Even still people talk about how much they appreciated the way you cared for others. I am always thankful that you were my mom, I really couldn't have asked for better. Always in my heart, love your son.

It's been so long since I've been able to talk with you... there's so much I wish I could tell you! And so many questions I would die for your honesty on.
I don't know how you did it after poppy left us. I try so hard every day. But truth is, I know I'm still not the best I could be. A huge part of me is missing and while life has given me a lot to smile for, part of me is always.... not present. Even as simple as talking to people, I have no interest in talking- talking makes me think and thinking brings.. a wide variety of emotions - and it's made it so difficult because I'm sure people think I'm rude because I can't keep a conversation going to save my life... truth is.. I'm not the same.. doubt I will ever get back to that me... I guess it's not me I want to get back, it's you I want back.
Ohhhh What I wouldn't do for one of your hugs. I love and miss you so dang much mommy!!!

We just had family pictures taken last weekend. What we all wouldn't give to have you with us in them. Those pictures you took with Tim, Austin and I are some of our favorite. I just wish you were here to take some with Lilly. Both the kids have grown so much, their personalities are shining. We all miss you so much. We try to spend as much time as a family making memories as possible. Tim has gotten so much better about not working as much, he's such a great provider for our family, I'm so thankful for him. And because of you, he is who he is. I owe it all to you!!

It's funny, I remember about 4 years ago you helped me make a blanket for tim that I had no idea how to make. You were so patient and so kind about how to teach me how to sew. Even though the machine broke you took it home and fixed it and the next day came back down to make sure it was finished by tim's birthday. From then on you called me Suzy homemaker and it was so sweet! I'm saying this because I'm re-learning to sew so I can do some extra projects for around the house and maybe earn a few extra bucks ;) I know you would be so excited and would come down to help me because it's what you did. You were always there to lend a helping hand no matter what! I love you so much!!! Now off to start some projects! Wish you were here for me to call and tell you about this.
Love

3 years ago you left a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I miss you so much everyday. There have been so many milestones in our lives that you should have been here to celebrate with us..so many changes for us all. So many tears, so many smiles and so many things we could have used your advice on. I know that we will always wonder what could have been.But thanks to your love we will always be a family through thick and thin. I love you always and you'll forever be my mommy.
February 15, 2014
It's been so long since I've gotten on here. I'm not sure if it's because it's so hard for me to see what all your loved ones say on here to you or if it's because I know when I do say something it brings me to tears every time because I would much rather have you here experiencing these milestones with us. I miss you so much! But I'm here because we had a big day for the Bogart family a few days ago. We welcomed a new member of our family Lilly-Anne Bogart. I just know you would be so smitten with her. I remember the first time Tim and I brought Austin to meet you and how in love with him you were. You would have been there in the delivery room crying alongside everyone else at how beautiful she is. And I chuckle when I think how e would probably have to set up an extra bed for you somewhere because you would refuse to leave for a week so you could stay and help haha. My little family has turned out so beautifully I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for them and without Tim I wouldn't have it, and without you I wouldn't have him. I love and miss you every day
Love,

Hey mama, tomarrow your baby girl will be 33 years old. Seems like only yesterday that you brought her into our lives. Thank you for that. I know that she's going to be missing you extra bad so please watch over her and let her feel your loving arms around her. I love and miss you so much. Wish you could be here to meet your newest great grandbaby when it makes it entrance into our lives. Don't worry though, I will make sure that the baby knows who gramma gogo was. Give daddy an extra good headbonk from me. I love you forever!!!!!
September 16, 2013
Thank you, those are my thoughts often for everything you did for your family. You were always willing to make a memory and I thank you for making those. Tonight I watched a video of Austin's first time in the snow and heard you voice and it's hitting me pretty hard how much I miss you. I know you know how much you are loved and missed and please take care of Grandpa

Happy Birthday mom,
Words cannot express how much we all miss you. Just to be able to talk to you always made me feel better. Your smile had a warmth that said I love life. Just the little things like sending us home with little things like every article you found on growing asparagus mean so much now. You gave from the heart and we appreciate so much those little things. It is so difficult to not see you and talk to you, makes me very sad.
Love you and miss you much,
Your son Ed
Your true happiness shining through. Only you would let Katie do this to you!!!

Hi Mama...I just wanted to say Happy Birthday. I really miss planning your birthday parties. I always loved surprising you and making you cry happy tears. It still seems so unreal that you are gone. I miss sneaking over to your house while you were gone for the day and giving Mr. Kelso his snacks (more than I was supposed to) but he loved them. I even miss surprising you by mowing your lawn or cleaning your house while you were gone. I just loved being there for you and helping you even though I only gave you 1% back of how you always helped and were there for me when I needed you the most. I could sure use some of our quality time where we chatted for an hour about basically nothing. :) Just being with you was so fun and I miss your hugs everytime I would leave to go home. Hugs and Kisses to you and daddy. Love you both so much.

Mom, tomarrow is your birthday. You would have been 66 years young. So i wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. Im sure that you will have one huge bash with all the family and friends there with you. Just wish that you were here to celebrate with us. Everyone seems to be doing ok,but i know that we all miss you so very much. Also,would you do me a huge favor and watch over Tim and Katie as they are getting ready for their wedding. They could use a little bit of your wisdom and strength. We all know that you and poppy will be there with all of us as they begin their new journey together. I miss you guys so much and i still talk to you everyday...Do you ever hear me as i beg for time to rewind. I love you forever,i love for always. Forever my mommy you will be.

Its been a whiile since I have been on here, alot has channged. It is good to look at your pictures, your smile brings warmth to my heart. I had buryed alot of emotions deep inside and have not delt with anything very well. I am tryng to turn my life around and start trying to fallow your lead, think positive,support your family and take time to make memorys. You taught me more than you will ever know.You will always hold a special place in my heart.I hope I can learn to open my arms and embrace people for who they are, the way you always did. Thanks for always supporting me and helping me work trough my problems. You truly always have been a gaurdian angel to everyone who was lucky enough to be close to you. I know you make even heaven a better plce and I am sure Scottie was glad to be welcomed by such a wonderful smile. A simple picture of you floods my brain with so many great memorys. In spirt of thanksgiving I would just like to say thanks for always taking the time to share your warmth with all of us. I might just have to stop for some spicedrops tomorrow after work.

Just missing you today mom. Just watched a movie about a man that finished a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago that his son started but died on the way. He spread his ashes all the way on the journey. The father went through alot of emotions along the way and found friends to help him deal with his feelings.
I think about you alot and the words that I feel the most is "it shouldn't have had to end this way." After all this time I am still so sad that you are no longer here. There are so many things I would love to talk with you about and show you. Your yard was beautiful this year as it always was.
I know we have to finish this journey without you here, but you are here in our hearts. I miss your smile and your hug.
Love always,
Your son

I knew how difficult this day was going to be. The day you left us was such a shock for everyone. I don't think anyone knew what to think or how to react. How do you prepare for losing the most special person in your life? Looking at your facebook page this morning made me smile. You had listed over 400 friends, that was just like you. You brought everyone into your life and embraced them. Farmville, what can I say, you were an addict. You lived your life your way and made it special. You were that flower in the field reaching above all others to embrace the sunshine. You shared a lifetime of love with us all. That consoles me but it also makes me miss you so very much at times. That day in the hospital I begged you to fight so you could enjoy another spring day, my heart broke when you left. Now that I see the flowers coming up in the front yard I can't help but think of you. The one thing you lived for besides your family was to make your yard beautiful. I don't know how many times you would pull me out to the backyard to show me something that you had done. Always so happy and proud. I treasure those moments that you shared.
We all love you and miss you.

Hi Mama,
It's almost April 3rd. The worst day of the year. But it also means that we as a family made it through this terrible year. It's been pretty rough but we did make it, which means we will continue making it. I do wish you were here though. I think of you every single day sometimes with tears and sometimes with a smile. We have so many memories with you but we just weren't done making them. Katie has really been missing her friday nights with you. You always did the craziest things with her and I don't know how but somehow you could stay up with her all night long doing silly things. So to commemorate the one year mark...Katie, Ginny and I are heading to Disneyland tomorrow. We know that you would want us to be happy and not sad on that day. So what better place to be than with Mickey. I love you so much and always remember how very much I admire and love you. You were the "Perfect" Mom and Grandma and you always will be. Now Close Your Eyes And Consider Yourself Hugged!!! God Bless Sweet Angel.

I cant believe that on Tuesday it will be a year since you left us. There isnt a day that goes by that i dont miss you. You were and always will be the rock that held us together.We go about our daily lives but there is always that hole where you should be. I still have moments of being angry at you for giving up, but i understand why. It was time for you to be out of pain. The last few years were so hard on you and i dont think that any of us really understood it until you were gone. That pain is so deep that it feels like it will never go away. The only comfort that i can take from you being gone is that now your pain is gone. But call me selfish but i want you back so badly that it eats at me everyday. I love you forever my sweet mama.

Im having a hard time dealing with the fact that in a week it will be a year since you left us. So many unshared memories that could have been if you weren't so damn stubborn. A lot had have been gone, a lot or milestones have happened for me. It saddens me that Austin won't get to know you or grandpa when he gets older, I am glad he got to spend so much time with you for his first couple years. I miss you grandmother you can come home anytime now

Mom, things have been so hard the last few weeks. I find myself dreaming every night about that last day in the hospital with you. It haunts me so much. I wake up with tears flowing like crazy. I miss you so much, but i will survive because that is what you taught us to do. But dont think for one minute that i will ever not have you on my mind. You are there constantly...You are there when i get up in the morning and when i lay my head down at night. Theres not a moment when you arent there. I love you forever my mommy.

I miss you grandmother. We just bought a house and I had a real hard time dealing with it because you weren't here to enjoy the whole process with us and I know you would have been very excited. I think about you everyday and miss you dearly but the strength and courage you installed in me keeps me going. Im grateful for everything you have taught me in my life and will forever remember the memories. Headbonk

I'm sorry I didn't say Happy Birthday to you yesterday on here but it was a little too emotional for me. Today is not much better but I just want you to know I think of you every single day not just on your birthday. Life is so different without you. I can't believe how many times I've thought "Oh, I gotta tell mom" and I almost pick up the phone to call you. It's hard everytime Katie does something like volleyball or basketball because you were always there to cheer her on and tell the other girls to leave your grand daughter alone when they got rough. You would really be doing that this year with basketball. She is one bruised up little girl but she loves it and you would be proud. We all miss you so very much. Now Close Your Eyes and Consider Yourself Hugged!!!

Hi mom
I just felt like talking with you even though you aren't here. It has been a rough year for everyone, very draining. Uncle Rollie and George also left us this year. I know you would have been very sad. I think about you alot and have dreams quite often. Sometimes they comfort me and sometimes they just make me sad. Iam trying to live my life so you would be proud. I know you are longer here for postive reinforcement but your strong determination is inside me. I will always remember how you reacted in the face of adversity with a smile. You were amazing that way. Christmas is upon us and it will not feel right with you there. I will never forget your Wii dancing episode, you were very happy then. I am glad that you had that moment, it was good for everyone. I hope you are at peace. You are always in my heart. Love you mom.

My ditto...
I need you so much right now!! Since you've been gone, nothing has gone right. Truth be told, without you I feel like I have no anchor and am just kind of drifting along not really knowing what I'm doing any more. I've made some pretty bad decisions for which I'll always regret, no excuse for them other than I just feel so lost and am grasping at anything right now! I wish that I had fully realized how important you were in my life, so much sooner than I did. I wish I had put you first always- I think my life would have been so different if I had! However, I am so grateful that from the time I turned 18 to the last moment on earth with you, I was blessed to call you my best friend. I found a picture the other day that you gave me when I came back from Alabama and the beautiful words you wrote about how our friendship was growing to not only be mother and daughter- but best friends and confidants. You were so special to me. Even when we had our differences, you were always the first person I thought of and turned to. Even in all my stupidity, you never judged me and always stood by me, no matter what. And it's because of you that I always came back around.
I miss so much just being able to call and hear your voice. What I wouldn't give to be able to pick up the phone and hear "Hello my sweetness- I just called, to say I love you. I just called to say I care. Because I do!"
Forever and always, until we meet again my mommy.

Well mom, i made it through my birthday with the help of our wonderful family. You would have been so proud of them. You raised an amazing family that I am so grateful for. The only thing missing was you and daddy. It would have been perfect with everyone there. But they made it special for me. As you would have said it was a making of a memory. I did great at dinner, but when i went to bed the sadness hit me again. Oh how i miss you so much, your smile, your touch, your wisdom. If only you could have had more time to teach us the things we need to know. There is so much that we never got to learn from you. If you can please impart your wisdom to us. I miss you mom and i thank you for your wonderful family.

Hi Mom...missing your hugs and guidance today. You were always so great to talk to about anything. Somehow you always helped me make the hardest decisions. Nobody can ever take your place with that. Christmas is almost here and it is harder than I imagined. I keep thinking back to last xmas and you were so much fun...dancing!!! You were the best mom I could ever ask for. The only thing I wish for now is to have you back. One more hug so I could never let go. I miss you!!! If you're able...I have one more favor to ask. Please help our family deal with all the sadness and difficult situations. Everyone needs you!!! I love you forever. Close your eyes and consider yourself hugged!!! Shell

Every day I think about you... and even though it's been 7 months, it still doesn't feel real. I still feel like I could turn around and see you standing at the front door with your goofy grin.
You taught me so much, and yet the one thing I am having the hardest time with is acceptance. I just keep thinking back to the months before, when you kept trying to talk to us kids about "when I'm gone" and how I couldn't even fathom the idea because it broke my heart.... well... I sit here now and I can tell you that what I feared most, losing you, did in fact break my heart even more than I ever thought possible. And some days I wonder if I'll ever get back to the person I once was before losing you.
I miss you so very much- I'm trying to look forward to Christmas.. please help us all through... we all need you now more than ever.

wow mom, its so hard to believe that christmas is right around the corner and you wont be here to celebrate it with us. I know that you will be there in every one of us but its just not the same. But we will make it a special time just as you would want it. Can you believe that your oldest grandson will be 29 in less than 2 weeks. I wish that you could be here to see how much your boys have grown up into such wonderfu men. You would be so proud. They have your lifetimes of lessons that you taught them and they put them to practice every day. I am so grateful that you were such a great influence on them.They have your heart and they remind me so much of you and daddy. They couldnt have asked for 2 better grandparents. Thank you for giving them that. And thank you for teaching me how to be such a great parent. I learned so much from you, such as patience and understanding. I love you two forever!!!!

Mom, it has been six months since you have been here. It has been so difficult to get through this time. I never imagined we would be facing something as painful this. You were the sun in our families solar system and now everyone is having a difficult time getting back to the center. Your leadership and love was a gift for us all. I think often of the silly things you would say or do. You always had a smile and positive thought to share.
You knew that the choices you made everyday mattered so you chose to be a special and beautiful person. Your legacy lives on in the words of everyone that speaks so very highly of you. There truly is no one else that can fill the void left by your loss. I am always thankful for every seemingly small thing you did to make our lives better. They did not go unnoticed and they weren't small. You lived your life as if you were a sent from above angel and now you are looking over us as an angel. We love you and miss you so very much. A big hug goes out to you from us all.
Love you mom

I cant believe that its been 6 months since you left us. Not a day goes by that you arent in my thoughts. I talk to you constantly like we did when you were here, but its not the same. I so desperately need to hear your voice or feel your warm hugs. My heart doesnt feel complete. Its missing the biggest part. You were the go to gal whenever i need someone to talk to. Ed has filled part of that void by calling me everyday, but i still need to hear from you.It still doesnt seem possible that you are really gone, but i know deep in my heart that you are. I wish everyday that we could have just one more day to say all the things that need to be said, like i love you. We never said it enough to tide us over for eternity.But i take heart in knowing that you knew how much you were and are loved. You will be forever loved by all of your loving family. Dan and Tim and Katie and Alyssa were very fortunate to have you as a grandmother and Austin will always know who you were because I will always remind him of who his great grandmother was and how wonderful you were.We were all so lucky to have had you for our example in true love. You taught us so much in such a short lifetime and i can guarantee you that we will always remember those words of wisdom and lessons of love. I miss you so much my sweet mama. I will love you until the day i die, and then i will be with you again. But for now, please hold us in your loving embrace and smile down on us from your beautiful home. Please kiss daddy for me and give him a headbonk from us all.

Momma.... There's not a second that goes by, that you're not on my mind. It's truly amazing how one thing can create such a domino effect in the lives of so many people. I know I'm not the only one who feels like I'm just barely teetering on my edge and ready to fall over at any given moment. Without you here... nothing is the same. I am trying my best to keep on... but being totally alone without my best friend is the hardest thing I've had to endure. How life will turn out is anyone's guess. I just keep telling myself what you always told me "Everything happens for a reason." So I've taken that to heart and tried to lead my life down a path I've never gone before- will it be where I am meant to be? Only heaven knows- all I know is that life is too short Momma and I want to be happy and have those around me be just as happy as well.
I have been struggling with the fact that in just a couple weeks it will be 6 months that you left us... and the next day will be the first birthday I have ever had where you weren't by my side. No more secret bouquets or special birthday lunches... no more "I just called to wish you a very special and happy birthday my ditto!" Not exactly sure how I'm going to get through that week... I will need all the strength you can send me...
Momma... every memory of you is so vivid that sometimes I wake up and think you're going to be sitting in your pink chair watching over me...
yes, we were partners in just about anything a mother, daughter and friend can possibly do... I am so very proud to have been your daughter and most importantly best friend. You are truly a once in a lifetime friend.

I pray that you are in a place that you love. I see a beautiful garden with flowers surrounding you all around. A cool running stream brings peace to your ears and refreshment to your soul. You deserve that peace at last, you have spent so many years sharng your heart and soul with others. Now it is your time to enjoy your peace. I love you mom, I see you with a smile.
Our tears fall like a silent waterfall into a shallow stream. Unheard except by those that feel that pain inside their hearts also.
We all love you and miss you so very much. I think of you every day and wish you were here so we could bring joy to your day.
I hope you are with your mom and dad and are at peace with them.

It is probably easier for me to imagine that you are still over there tucked away in Darrington waiting for my call or visit because I don't have to see the reality of your absence every minute. Today I was brave enough to visit here again and cry for your kids and grandkids who are missing you so badly. I know that you and Uncle Jim are young and loving each other in perfection as was supposed to be. I love you and want to share so much with you but really you see it anyway. Mucks and Loves from your Idaho Family. Love Amy

I miss you, but know you are still watching over us, all the little signs I see every time I use bad judgement it feels like you find a way to make me see much clearer. I have learned so much from you and still feel you are guiding me and guiding others through me. Although i miss you so very much i can't help but smile when I think of who you are and what you do for all of us. Love you granny go go

It's been 5 months since you left us and not a day goes by that i dont miss you. Everyday is a struggle to keep going. You were our heart, our soul, our life and now you are gone. How do we go on when our hearts are broken. I know that you are always with us, but its not the same when we cant see you or feel your touch. Life will never be the same. But we will go on because thats what you would have wanted. We will be strong and will find a way to make it. But a little guidance would be greatly appreciated. Our family needs your guidance so much right now. Please impart your wisdom for us one last time. Give us the strength to carry on. I miss you so much and need you even more. I will love you forever and carry you in my heart for all eternity.

My hero is someone I can look up to, my hero is always there for me, my hero has the biggest heart, my hero gives the best hugs, my hero has shared many memories. My hero is no longer here, my hero is now up there, you are now my guardian angel, I will forever strive to be more like my hero, my hero is my grandmother

So strong,wise, caring,giving I miss you so much,we all still need you so desperately you could not imagine. You were always there no matter what , I feel my world is coming a part and there is no one there to help bring it back together.it must have been such burden to be so strong for so many people. I always thought I was a strong person, but it turned me into a person who lacks emotion and compassion. I don't know how you became such a great person, that so many of us miss, but I know you will be cherished in are hearts for ever. I miss you mom

My ditto.... There are so many things I wish I could share with you... so many questions that I need your guidance in finding the answers to!
I miss you so much that sometimes it's hard to breath... my heart aches every day and it still just doesn't feel real that you are not here by my side.

my mama, i just listened to a song that shell posted on facebook and here comes the tears again. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that you are gone. Everyday feels like a struggle to get motivated to do anything. You were my strength when i needed it and now i just dont feel that strength anymore. I try to keep going just to be strong for the rest of the family, but there are so many days that i just want to pack it all in.They need me to be strong for them and i know that that is what you would want me to do, so i suck it up and be the rock that i know that i need to be. But i need my rock!!!We are all just hanging by a thread, but we are hanging.. I miss you so much. I keep expecting to wake up from this nightmare and you will be there, but i know that this will never happen. Please let me know in some way that you are doing alright and that you are watching out for us. I will always love you!!!!!

You treated me like one of your grandkids. Closer than I am to my own grandparents. I found this beautiful hummingbird charm at a place my mom took me for my birthday gift. I've been having a really tough time the last few months being ok. That particular day was a pretty tough one. Then I saw this charm and knew you were there in spirit. I wish you were still here so that I could ask for advice on how to stay strong even on those days that are the toughest... you were such an amazing spirit and I always admire your heart. I'm trying not to lose my big loving heart but some days its tough. Anyways, just wanted you to know that this beautiful charm that appeared when I needed it the most is now hanging from my rearview mirror so I have a wonderful reminder to stay true to ones heart and the strength to travel any road because you're in flight with me. Thank you and your family for being such amazing people. Miss them every day more than I ever thought I could. Please continue to look over them all, including me :) I light a candle by your picture framed puzzle piece almost nightly to celebrate the beautiful light of the ones in my life I've lost in one way or another.

I know this is going to sound strange but this morning watching the football hall of fame I thought of you. Watching Shannon Sharpe give his speech he attributed all his achievements to his grandmother who raised her six kids along with 3 of her grandkids. She raised those kids with nothing but love, respect and morals. He said that when he went off to college that she didn't have to give him a speech on how to behave at college. She had spent a lifetime of teaching lessons that would carry him through his life. It struck me that you have also done that. You spent a lifetime of teaching us lessons to carry us through. If we listened, when we need that knowledge it will come out of us just as you were here. You taught us by example and love. I think about all the other kids that you have raised that weren't yours. I know that they were touched by your love. You were a special mother and person who knew that there was more to life than what was in front of us. You wrote the book of your life everyday and somehow knew the importance of passing that on to others. You were never selfish and always wanted the best for everyone else. I have learned strength, love, patience and thoughtfullness from you. In my life when I need guidance I always think of the lessons that you shared. I miss you so dearly but you are always in my heart. Smiles always, that's what you gave us. :)

Just getting unpacked from the Bogart Reunion #2. Reality hitting in and it sucks. You were supposed to be there making us laugh, lightening the mood and passing hugs around. Little did I know that the time you spent with each of us individually last year would be out last times together. Love and Miss you so much. Give Uncle Jim hugs

mom, we leave for the family reunion in 2 weeks, but it just doesnt seem right. You and I were supposed to be going together. We had so many things that we were going to do together and now i have to face the fact that you arent here to do them with me. I miss you so much. Everyday feels like an eternity since you left us. I know that they say life goes on, but how do you keep going when your heart feels like it is broken. I now understand the pain that you felt when daddy left us. It never goes away. Please let me feel your hugs one last time(i know that that will never be enough).I will love you and miss you until my time on earth is through. Please smile down on us everyday as you would when you were here. Now close your eyes...you know the rest of the saying....

I think of you everyday and miss you so much. We have been very busy and I am sure you would approve, but I would give anything to have you here. Whenever I think of you I remember how happy and positive you were, thanks for all the suffering you went through to make our lives better. I will never forget how much you loved us.
Consider yourself hugged for the day.

Memories is the word you gave us
To impress upon us all
That each day is so very special
When we feel like we might fall
You created and shared so many
Funny, serious or sad
So very, very special
For all of them we are glad
You are no longer with us
And that pain hurts so very deep
Some days are better than others
It comforts us to know you sleep
It seems so terribly wrong
That the most loving woman has left us
And will return to us no more
We can't turn back time
Or change that day's event
We can only move forward
And remember you as you were
A mother, a friend for everyone
A loving spirit for sure
Memories, memories, memories
We will remember and think of you always
And hold them close to our heart
Thank you for your love and the memories
