October 4, 2011

Hey Gram, its been a while but ofcoarse you know i think about you everyday. I had a dream about you last night, it was a wonderful experience, it started out as....it was coming to the end of the world (scary) I know God and love him I teach my kids about Him and I pray everyday I try and live His way (try) but ofcoarse I have doubts I hope I make it to heaven. Well in my dream there was chaos and water everywhere, and you could see all off the planets so close to the earth so scary the moon, saturn, pluto all of them so close i knew the end of the world was coming.So ofcoarse all of the family were trying to find eachother and there you were an angel dressed in your pink suit, so beautiful you looked younger smooth skin you didnt look tired or worn out with everyday drama, you looked peaceful and happy just like i know you are. You were letting us know the end was coming and if we wanted to be with you in the end to make peace to repent and live the last days worshipping God. We ofcoarse were asking you questions I asked you Gram have i been a good girl and you looked at me and paused like you always did and said with a smirk (lol) you know you have made some mistakes but Jenni you are doing great, keep up the good work. I wasnt afraid anymore I was looking forward to the end, that way we could be together again and I could look as peaceful and beautiful as you. Gram I miss you so much and love you, Jenni

Hey Gram Gram, I know I havent been to talk to you in a little while, but I am sure God has been giving you my messages I send Him. I just sit here sometimes and replay some of your saying or your movements in my head just to make sure I wont forget you. I am constantly reminding the kids of you, I say " oh yea gram gram bought that for you" They were playing with the pigs you bought them last night you know the ones that came with the books if you give a pig a cupcake.. Anyways gram things are not the same without you and it seems like everyone is missing you more and more each day...I guess that proves you are an amazing Mom, gram, and gram gram, friend, sister, oh my gosh the list goes on and on. I just wanted to let you know I miss you so much (I have to cross over a pic fast if you are in it, it hurts to bad) Love you Gram love jenn

Hi Mom,
We had Stacey and Tony's baby shower yesterday and I think we all did ok it was alittle sad for me I just kept looking around and wishing I would see you there, and wondering what you would think of the shower. I wanted so bad for you to be apart of all of this and it just really makes me so sad I cant help it I love you and miss you so much. Love Marcia

Hi Mom,
Went to Stacey's baby shower yesterday it was really nice and had a good time. Missed you being there, I miss you being here every day. Gena, Kate, Emmy, Donna and myself went to see you today, it was hard on all of us, Emmy sit down and Gena told her, "your sitting on Gram Gram" Emmy said "I know I'm sitting on her lap!" We miss you a lot, think about you all the time. Love and miss you, Deb.

Hi Mom,
Im sitting here thinking about you, this morning when I saw my star I started to cry Linda keeps telling me not to think of you as that star just incase its not there but when I see that star I always think of you and of course I cry, it is the only star in that direction and it shines so bright I miss you so much. It about 1 1/2 mo. until Little Sadie comes and when I think about you not being here it just hurts my heart so much I hope I can be as good of a grandma to my Sadie as you were to Stacey. I love you Mom an I think of you all the time.

Hi Mom,
Well I went to Linda's this week-end all I could think about is the last time we were there together you were so sick I wish I knew then what I know now life is definitely not the same without you, I was telling Lin yesterday that somethings just dont mean the same. We picked up Gena and Kate to go to breakfest they had a good time Emmy went with Debbie and Donna to Washington. I miss you so much thank god you gave me my sister I dont think I could do it without them.
I love you mom and miss you so much.
