Dear Mom,
It seems like only yesterday that the Dr. walked through the doors that changed our lives forever..
It has been 3 long years since you've been gone.. Looking back on all that you both have missed and all that lies ahead makes it even more difficult to understand how both of you are gone forever.
I always thought that you both would be around forever... That's not the case so what's forever for??
I miss you both everyday of my life
I only wish that I could of had you both for alot longer.
Life will never be the same without
you both...
I will love you "forever" and until we meet again...
Good Night God Bless You & I Love You"

Oh my dear, dear mom and dad,
It still hurts - 10 years later without you dad. And soon it will be 3 years without you, mom. It is so lonely without you both here. I wish you could see your little Nicolas who is not so little anymore, almost 26 lbs. I know you love him from heaven, but, God how I wish you could hold him here and share in his life. He is such a joy. I wish we could watch him grow up together..here..He just turned one and I know you both were there. The wink with the doorbell on the 9th and the 13th just confirmed that even more. We will never stop loving you both and missing you. Love, Rita, Joe & Nicolas Thomas

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!
When I woke up this morning I thought about you and dad and how you both must be celebrating your birthday together. How happy you must be together and how sad we are without you both. I imagine that everyone in heaven is whispering around "today is Rita's birthday"
Let's sing, let's buy her a cake, how about taking her out to dinner..
she likes Bugaboo or even Olive Garden..Heaven is so lucky!!!!
I only wish that they could have waited longer until they got to share your birthday with you and we could have had many more birthdays and cakes and dinners..
Your boy Michael got a letter from Holy Ghost today inviting him for an interview to attend the prep, your girlfriend Amanda tested for her Blue stripe in Karate and broke the board in her first try. I know you both are watching over all of us a little wink from up there once in a while feels good. I got your wink today!!!!Even though you both are not here, We all celebrate with you and we cherish every memory we had and know that I will always love you both and miss you both all the days of my life.
Good night, God Bless you and I love you both!!
Forever in my heart

Hi Dad & Mom,
Happy belated Father's Day to you. I am sitting here with your grandson on my lap. He is content right now, but that could change any minute. I tell him about you and his Grammie all the time. You would really enjoy him. He has quite the personality. We feel so blessed to have him here, but we miss you and mom so much. I can't stand it sometimes, but I have to be strong for Nicolas. Well, now little Nicky is starting to cry. He has quite the cry. I'm sure you can hear him all the way to heaven. We love you both so much. Missing you!!!Love, Rita, Joe & Nicolas Thomas

Hi Mom and Dad.
Happy belated Father's Day, Dad. Hopefully, You and Mom had some fun celebrating yesterday. Maybe You and Mom went dancing. I know from my wedding how much Mom enjoyed cutting the rug. She was very light on her feet. You're probably looking down at Nicolas Thomas and cracking up. He is quite a little character. I wondered where he gets his healthy appetite from, and after talking to Rita, I now know it's from his Grandpop Higgins. That little boy can eat! Mom, I picked up some good movies on dvd. I need my movie partner. Nobody else can hang like you; they're all lightweights. Rita and I have this one picture of you right next to my chair facing the screen, so we can watch together. By the way, Thanks again for doing such a great job of raising Rita. She is such a wonderful mom, I know you are both very proud of her. Goodbye for now.
Love Joe, Rita and especially Nicolas thomas
