Hi Michael,
Today is Mothers Day so be sure to tell Mom I said HAPPY MOTHERS DAY and she is missed, I know you all are in a better place we still have the virus here and people are still dying from it. Half of the people won't take the shot so I don't know when we will be safe. I miss talking to you and love you.
Will write you later

Hi Michel,
I know you are surprised to hear from me but there has been a lot going on, I didn't forget your Birthday but my computer was down I think of you everyday. You know Mom's Birthday is tomorrow so be sure and tell her Happy Birthday from me. I don't know when I will be going back to Knoxville I am waiting so see how this virus plays out. I hope it won't be long. I have had both shots but they think we might have another breakout some people won't wear a mask. I will let you know.

Hi Michael,
Just a line to say hello and I know you and the family are doing fine well still have the virus going around so we are taking one day at a time. Dad's birthday is this week so tell him I said Happy Birthday and Happy Fathers Day and also Happy Fathers Day to you too. I am going to Knoxville in 2 weeks to do all of the flowers before they close everything down again. If the virus continue to spread they will close everything again. I will write again when I get back. Tell mom and all the family I said hello and you are all missed.

Love YOU

Hi Michael,
I just read your sisters entry. It truly is very bad down here there was a terrible pandemic and we can't go outdoor anywhere. We all have to wear masks and gloves if we do have to go out for medicine or food. I did receive Carolyns Christmas card. But I have been sick myself for a while for a couple of months and was not able to answer her right away. I plan to drop her a letter in the next couple of weeks as soon as I feel a little bit better. I hope you are doing well and that everything is nice and calm up there so to speak and I hope that you are keeping all of us in your hands and keeping us safe because God knows we need to be kept safe all my love Patricia

May 10, 2020

HI Michael,
Sorry it has taken me so long to write It is crazy down here there is a virus that is stopping everything we were not suppose to go out unless we had too ,we could go to the store and to get medicine there are no eating places open you have to get curb side or drive through all the retail stores are closed they are suppose to open some this week we have to stay six feet away from other people and wear mask, I hope you remembered to tell Mom Happy Birthday and please tell her Happy Mother's Day. I haven't even been to Knoxville to change the flowers yet no hotels open. I hope things will open up soon this is the worst I have ever seen even the older people say this is bad. I know you would'[t want to be here now. People who have bad health are dying from the virus and they don't have a cure for it .I have been in so much I don't even need gas. Mary is having a triple bypass Friday I will keep you up to date when I find out something. I don't have to tell you that I miss you and our talks. I will write you again soon.
Love You'

H.T. is in Knoxville his Mother is sick I think he will be back next week but we will see she doesn't have any body to stay with her. I know you all are doing well this world is in bad shape.

Hi Michael,
I know you though that I had forgotten about you all but my computer broke and it was to old to fix. Lynn replaced it so I am back. I went to Knoxville in October and changed all the flowers I hope you all like them. I hated that I didn't get to write when I came back or talk to you at Thanksgiving I miss that. I wish you could see my latest grandbaby you would love him to death. Charles saw him when he came down last Thanksgiving. oh by the way Lenny is having another baby with his wife so he has pasted you (smile). I want you wish you and the whole family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. You will hear from me soon.
I love and miss you all.

You know why I am writing today,It's your birthday and I know you will have a big party and of coarse you will have red velvet cake. There is not anything new going on here it has been a very mild winter and that means it will be a hot summer if it does like last year. Patricia said she might come down this spring and I hope she does, she said she is bring her dog and for me to check hotels so we will see.I haven't talked to any of your children but Germaine so I can't tell you what they are doing.I have been having pain in my neck and have been to 3 doctors but they say it's arthritis.I will start taking some therapy twice a week so we will see how that goes tell all the family hello and they are loved and missed and again HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER.
LOVE YOU,
SIS

Dearest Darling, light of my heart-there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about you, think I saw you somewhere, or someone reminded me of you. At this time of year, whenever I am in the Men's wear section, I pretend I'm buying you presents for under the tree.
Caroline and I are back in touch-I'm so glad. She truly is like the sister I never had.

We both wish you a blessed Christmas and New Year's-let us know you are near-as you have done in the past.

All my love, Patricia

Dearest Michael,

It's been a tough few months here with me at the doc's every five minutes for different things. As usual, I took an awful fall in the garage and injured my kneecap as well as my ankle. The doc was great but I have to go back to him for the ankle which he didn't examine because I didn't know at the time I had hurt it too.

Now I have to take a series of 5 injections into the kneecap to try and buy some time or else I will need partial knee surgery. I'm sure you know how excited "that" makes me!

I hope you're enjoying your respite with God and all of the saints and angels who are taking good care of you, I'm sure.

I could use a prayer or "message" from you to boost my morale a bit.

You cannot imagine how much I miss you -

Love, Me

Hi Baby,

I'm sorry I didn't get to write you on your "birthday" but there was a lot going on with me which you know about and I'm sure you understand.

So how did you spend the day? Shooting pool with the angels? And, for the Superbowl I was certainly thinking of you and wondering who you were rooting for!

Saw you and Hank the other night in a dream and we were all having a blast. I almost came close to being with both of you, but luckily I got the medical attention I needed and am still working on my health.

Send me another "dream" baby!

Love you, Patricia

Ciao Michael,
it has a been a while since I stopped by to leave a message for you, but I speak to you often even without leaving messages here, but this morning I just felt like writing to you a bit.
How are you doing up there in Heaven? I am sure you're doing just fine and I am also sure that you find the time to keep on eye open for all of us here on Earth who will always thinks of you until the end of our days as well. I know that maybe saying "we miss you" seems a given, but it isn't. Do you know that when we came to the States last Summer my son asked of you? He wanted to know where you were. So we had to tell him that you are in Heaven now. He said he missed you. I was surprised, I didn't think that he would remember you, too little at the time, but he did. So you see, even the youngest ones miss you a whole lot.
As you well know life in this planet is not the easiest at the moment, and like in the States, here in Europe it is just the same, we manage day to day to make it through, so keep all of us in your prayers, because we all need it.
I wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year Michael, from all of us. Big hug from the kids, Pina and I.

Love

Patricia Bookman

Hi Boo-Boo, this morning I woke up and there you were, in the bed, where you always sleep and with your eyes wide open. I saw you as if you were physically there-then you disappeared. I guess you're trying to let me know that you're still around and taking care of me. I know that when I go to sleep you're always beside me to protect me from the goblins of the night. I had a dream about you too (a vision) the other night and we were talking about your mother. I know that when I go, you'll come to get me and I'll be happy again.

Love, Patricia

Hi Christmas Baby of Mine, here we are trying to get ready for Christmas. We're doing it Italian style so I "know" you would "love it" hahahahaha. We're going to have a fish-based Christmas Eve and then lasagna on Christmas Day. Because of the economy we have agreed to giving presents to the kids only basically-adults one present and that's it. But I'll have to pick up a couple of things for Lizzie because I know what she wants but she has to get it herself and God only knows when she'll get around to it.

So what are you guys doing up "there?"

Love you, Patricia

Hi Michael,

Well, I guess you know we're trying to get into the holiday spirit but this year it's a bit tough-between being without you, and the lousy state of affairs here, it's been real tough getting into the mood. Oh, I picked up this year's Godiva teddy bear so you don't have to worry about that-the tradition continues.

Stop by, in my dreams, again and let me know what's up with you.

Love, Patricia

Hey Holiday Baby, had a "dream" about you the day before yesterday-you were up to your old "tricks" playing cards with your friends. You came "outside" the room to be with me, but I "couldn't" go inside the room from which you had exited-obviously you had "stepped outside Heaven" for a moment to be with me and let me know you were still with me, but it certainly, I guess, wasn't time for "me" to enter and so we shared a warm moment together-and then I immediately woke up-so I know it was a "vision" not a dream and you were fine and came to me to cheer me up. I never stop thinking about you and wish you were still "here." Happy Holidays to you and yours "up there" as we think of you daily and the warm memories you have gifted us "down here."
Love, Patricia

Hi MICKIE,
I haven't called you that in a while. I was thinking about you so I thought I would say hello and you say hello to Mom and Dad. I still haven't heard anything on the move so maybe you can push a little harder. Harold's mother passed last week, Lynn did go in for the service so he saw his brother and sister and others he had'nt seen in a while. I will write again soon.
Love You Sis.
