My Dearest Mom,
It is hard to believe that 10 years have gone by since you left us. I think about you every day. I miss your smile, but when I close my eyes and picture your face I can hear you laugh! You bring peace to my mind and comfort
to my soul. Always in my heart, always love you.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!
A nice spring day, slow to come after a long hard winter. I really miss you, but I know you are there listening to me as I talk about all things going on around me. Life is a game of hop-scotch, you taught me to think before you jump into the next square - cause you can't go backwards, you just have to start all over! A good lesson Mom!
I love you, watch over us all!

Happy Birthday Mom!
Hard to believe it's been 5 years since God called you home. I think about you and miss you, and wish I could bring you a cup of coffee! It's been a long year, Joey and Lyle are there with you now, leaving difficult times for the family. But we know that time heals the pain of loss and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope and a belief that there is more to this life is what the Doctor says, and that is what keeps all of us going! And I am going to see that Doctor Who, so all is very well with me! We all miss you, and need you to keep watching over us all now more than ever. I love you Mom!

Happy Birthday to Me because of you Mom! Miss you Mom! The almost famous big one is upon me and I don't care! When you turn 60 you find out Everyone Dances, but maybe not so anyone can watch. Life gets shorter the longer you live, you're just making up for those baby years. You alone control your own happiness. There is a reason for everything that happens to you, finding out why is the question you need to ask. And who better to ask than the one person who knows you best -the Doctor - Doctor Who? Who is the Doctor? The answer may surprise you! Your children, their children, all are all well. Love you Mom!
Peace be with you, Watch over us all.

Happy Birthday Mom! Well we made it into the new year with all the doom and gloom predictions of 2012, and I am more optimistic about the future, the world may have a chance to overcome and survive all the bad and negative things that happen. Hope is the Key! I know the future will bring answers. And like you always said, a positive attitude makes it so much easier. Understanding this is just the beginning of a happier life! Thanks Mom! I miss you and I love you! Peace be with you, watch over us all.

My Dearest Mom,
Happy Birthday to me, thanks to you! I miss you. This is the year of great changes in the world - new awakenings for mankind. I am expecting good things will happen. My small world is becoming more aware of things more important to the life force energy than the energy that drains the life out of one. I can feel the good energy everywhere! All your children and their children are doing well, the new baby CJ is an absolute make you smile joy and Dekotah is a precious angel! But I know you see that too! Peace be with you, watch over us all.
Love you Mom!

My Dearest Mom,
Happy Mother's Day to you! I spent the day planting my garden and thinking about you. Wait until you see it in full bloom in July. I keep the pictures you had on the wall of a garden I had many years ago - you loved it and each year I try to make it more colorful. Good peaceful energy for me. I miss you, but you are always in heart. All is well with everyone, we all miss you so much. Peace be with you, keep watching over us all!

Happy Birthday to You! I wish you were here with us, but I know you are watching over us all. The first baby boy in two generations of all girls is finally here, Jennifer had a son on 3.6.12 - Dekotah has a baby brother! - Colt Joseph. I nicknamed him CJ. They are all a wonderful little family that ties all of us together. Everyone is doing fine but miss you so much, would have loved to watch you hold this little baby boy in your arms. I miss you and think about you all the time, and you know I love you! Peace be with you, keep watching over us all.

My Dearest Mom,
Happy Birthday to me, thanks to you! I miss you. Life is a challange but worth the effort. I find the more you put yourself into it - the more rewards you get back. All is well with your children, grandchildren, greatgrand children, and one yet to arrive. Time has a way of mellowing the soul, maybe the seconds that tick away somehow ease the hardships of our lives. Thank God this will bring a peace to our inner life force as time goes on!
Peace be with you, watch over us all. Love you Mom!

Dear Mom,
Happy Mothers Day! My day began wanting to pick up the phone and call you. I miss you. Learning to live without you is hard. I spent the day with many mothers - from young to older, and small children too! I observed "in youth we learn, in age we understand". I saw this today - happening right in front of me, and it made me think of us and miss you even more! Thank you for being my Mom! Peace be with you, watch over us all.

My Dearest Mom,
Happy Birthday to me, thanks to you! I am here and well. I miss you so much, but you know I talk to you everyday, which makes my life so much easier. I still cry and still laugh when I think of you - you keep me grounded in this world. I smile when I think of how much you gave me and I try to pass it along. I am learning all the time what really matters in life. Your family is all OK. So far life is good. When my time comes, I know you will be there to make my Journey a great one, and there to meet me. I've learned something new to belive in, to get me through all this world has to offer, a simple prayer. "I honor the spirit within you" or simply "Namaste" I love you Mom! Peace. Watch over us all.

My Dearest Mom,
Happy Birthday to you today! Sheila and I took Jackie and Janet to visit your final resting place at Lakewood, such a beautiful place to come to connect to you! Your physical remains may be there - but we all know your spirit is with all of us every day. We felt a great sense of belonging and peace, joy that you are in a place of great comfort with people you know and love. It was a beautiful mostly sunny day and we drank a toast to you, your favorite - Fetzer Gewurztraminer wine, the one you loved on our many Thanksgiving dinners together. We all miss you of course, and wish you were here with us, and don't worry, we all are doing fine thanks to you. I think of you always, and how happy and safe you are, and that comforts me. I miss you, I love you, thank you for being my Mom! Peace be with you, watch over us all.

This is the memory week. I have been wondering about you. Some days have been eventful, others not. Recently, someone told me "what you tolerate you never change." He was referring to himself and his relationship with his son. He has tolerated much pain with his son and found comfort in the words. I think you got the short end of the stick and didn't complain, but I don't think you would agree with me. I also read "not every bridge wants to be crossed", and for some reason that reminded me of you. I never asked you if you were happy, I wish I would have.

Merry Christmas Mom!
I have been thinking of you a lot lately, I miss you so much. I was in the bakery the other day and there was that darn fruit cake I used to get for you. I just sat and looked at it, remembering how you loved that stuff and how I laughed at you for being crazy enough to eat it! I wish I could share a piece with you right now. I went through my pictures and yours too, and found so many great photos of you and of all us sisters. I made copies for everyone so we all have a snapshot of you somewhere in your life, your beautiful face to look at everyday! It makes me sad yet it makes me so happy - you being my mom is the greatest joy ever - so I smile when I look at you! You are with me and I know I am with you. I love you so much! Peace, watch over us.

Dearest Mom:
Merry Christmas! Our first Christmas without you. We all miss you and wish you were still here with us. We are having a Very Big Snow Day, or shall I say three snow days. I think we will have at least 2 feet before it is over and is it really beautiful. It slows everything down, including me. Abby loves the snow unconditionally. She transforms into a 10-year old puppy on her first step out the door. It is hard to get her back into the house. As expected, this was a different Christmas without you. I understand now what people meant when they spoke of their loss at Christmas time and how difficult it can be. Well, it rings true. As 2009 forever ends, I look back at what it has given and taken away. 2010 will do the same, but we know more now. I heard something this morning on the radio and I like it. The best thing a Father can do is cherish the Mother of his children. Love you always.

Dearest Mom:
Christmas is coming and there is a silent dialogue with you, I know this, I feel it. We all cry for you, deep within our silence. Let me say this out loud to Mary, your second oldest daughter. She honors you and I thank her for your picture book. I suspect she has been creating this beautiful tribute for lifetime. She calls them "moments". They are pictures of you, you who deserved much more than you ever received, but you who gave much more than you ever knew. Your beloved daughter, Mary, placed your pictures, your life into "moments" for each us to view, to hold. Pictures that I never knew existed. You were beautiful. We were beautiful. How wonderful. I thank her. I told someone recently that when your Mom dies it's like the tether that connects you is cut and all of a sudden you are floating out there in this space of complete aloneness. I try to understand this and I believe Mom understood aloneness, being on the outside, looking in. I remember when she got the call that our Grandpa died, her Father. She was on the old black rotary phone in the corner of the dining room,facing the dark corner, holding the phone to her left ear. I was standing in the living room when we lived on 45th and Garfield in Minneapolis. I stared at her body, I could see it, something happened to her body, something terrible, a slumping, a silence, a deep loss. Her beloved "Daddy" had died. She loved him. She knew the love of her Father, a good father, and that is good. We all need tools in the wilderness of aloneness and she found and used them. I am lonely for you but I am ok in the solitude with the help of the "moments" remembered in your pictures and our family. Remember us sweet Mother of ours.
Your loving daughter,
Carol.

I have been working in my yard getting it ready to plant my flowers and thinking of you! This is the first time in over 50 years I can't bring you a mothers day card, and that makes me sad. But I will be planting some of your favorite flowers in bright beautiful colors for you to look at all summer. Then when I see them every day I will think of you - and then every day can be Mothers Day! I miss you,all your children miss you, we talk to each other about you - you are forever in our hearts and minds. Don't worry about us! I love you dear Mom. Happy Mothers Day!

Agian it's a Beautiful Morning and it's your day..Miss you so very much, It's funny though there are things going on that come back to what I have learned from you and It is so strange how I really have to think...Gee I got this from you..Two examples Friday at work Cassidy a girl I work with was talking about how she wished she knew how to sew...I told her that I did and she thought that was so amazing, She thinks it so complicated..I told her you taught me what I know & I wasn't as perfect at it like you..(My patience remember) And so I have the sewing machine that you had & I am going to give Cassidy my old one and she wants to take a sewing class so she can sew for her daughter...like you did for Carol,Mary & Sheila...And the other thing Dave & I are working on projects around the house & I painted one wall in the garage that was not painted,I did white on top & gray on the bottom..it looks pretty nice and we built a shelf to put up on that wall and I stained that and that also looks pretty good...So I just want you know I think of you always when working on projects around the house...And I have Big Thanks to you for making me who I am and teaching me what I know...I love you so very much!!

Dear Ms. Revering:
Though you and I never had the pleasure of meeting, your influence reached far into my heart through your brave, beautiful, talented, poetic daughter, Carol. Your legacy of hard work and living each day with integrity is one that helped and continues to help the Minneapolis community to be a better place, a place sought after by people throughout the world looking for a kinder, gentler Nation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you were and leading us all onward toward The One.

My Dearest Mom,
It's been a month now since you left my world, and oh how I miss you! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, so many times I have picked up the phone to call you with a story to tell. I know in my heart you are in that special place - the one we used to talk about. Thru that door you went, the lucky one, re-born safe and healthy again! (and leaving us to wonder what the future will bring) Thank you mom, for your strength, for teaching me to be the independent thinker I am. You always listened with interest to the curious and strange things/ideas I talked about. You told me that anything is possible if you belive in it, and belive in your dreams cause they are all your own and no one can take them from you! Remember that great big, hard promise you asked me to keep? It's not so big, not so hard, and I will keep it forever for you. Happy Birthday my dear Mom, I love you and miss you so much! Peace be with you, watch over us all.

Hi Mom,
Happy Birthday! I remember thinking... there will be a day when you would be gone on your birthday. Well.... here is the day. Jeanne wished you a Happy Birthday. How kind!
As you know, that little grand-baby of yours is walking up a storm. Jennifer and Justin had their first garage sale today with the town of Isanti. We had a good time and made a little money.
I met with a friend last Friday, she lost her husband in April. She said something that really made sense to me. Her husband had been quite ill for a long time. As his death grew closer, he became distant and in the final moments and after his death, they became instantly close again in a new way. I wonder if other people see it that way? Life here can be pretty amazing, so it must be really great for you. Happy Birthday Mom, I miss you.
p.s I got my first box of vegetables from the farm in Iowa. I joined 3 months ago and I was hoping to share the food with you, instead I will share them in story form. I got 3 vegetables that I have never seen or eaten before! Plus a letter from the Farmer with recipes. It is really cool!! Can't wait for the next box.

Dear Mom,
It's Saturday. We had a mini open house at your place on Friday. Many of your neighbors stopped by. Many knew you, but some were unsure, wishing we had a picture of you. We should have done that. They were so kind! I wish I could remember all their names, but you know who they are. One woman came in a walker, she had 7 children too. Her husband had passed. She asked for the mauve recliner, we loaded it up and Mary took it up to her 4th floor apartment. She came back and thanked us. People wanted to give us money, but we said absolutely not! A very gentle woman came in and said she wanted a memento of Roberta. She said she brought you dinner when you couldn't come down anymore. Mary and I cried. I didn't think of it that , we should have had more of your things for them. As you know, all your puzzles went to the puzzle room. All the decks of cards went to card room. The women loved your clothes. Your dishes and the Jesus pictures went. One woman said she must have been a very religious person. I stopped to think and said, yes sometimes she was. The activity person from the Assisted Living side, Brenda, took the dresser, night stand and mirror along with the last recliner and coffee table. Everything went to good use! We were really grateful for that. Of course you can count on Mary to do the a really good job in cleaning everything up. I still cry because you are not here, so it is nice to write. You know, I was thinking about this earlier, I am happy you are not suffering, but sad you are gone. It is probably the same for all of us, we will be sad to leave this world behind, but glad for the new adventure. You know we put together two CD's for your service. Gordy help me. One CD was instrumental and one was by artists who write great songs; the only problem is they are my favorite songs and it is sad to listen. Well your Birthday is coming up on May 2nd and we will celebrate your spirit. You know who has you right now and you will be traveling with us out to Jennifer, Justin and Dekotah's place. As you also know you soon will be in one of the most beautiful places in Minneapolis. No more worries. Watch over us! I miss you!
April 22, 2009
Dear Mom,
We went through your things at your apartment, so many little things that we brought you over the years. Sheila did your laundry one more time and hung all your clothes in the closet. Everything looked so nice on the hangers. Everybody got a box and as we picked up each item we spoke the memory and put the memory in our individual box. This coming Friday some of your neighbors are coming in to pick up some items left behind. We arranged everything on your table. I bet you don't need a walker, oxygen, medication, support socks, inhalers....none of that!
I really miss your phone calls! Watch over us.

Dear Mom,
It has been almost two weeks since you left. I miss you. I wish I could call you. As you probably know, I have heard from some very kind people. A sincere thank you to those who attended the service in Robbinsdale, MN, sent flowers, cards and special words of comfort. What I really appreciate are the stories of your loved ones. I get to see through a new set of eyes. Thanks to everyone.

Dear Mom,
Happy Easter! I miss you!
Sweet Mother of Ours
Sometimes we were so busy living we forgot you were dying. Forgive us. We were frightened, but you told us you were not afraid. We watched your breath, while secretly cursing the lungs that failed you.
We tried to rescue you, bring you home just one more time. Pleading inside for one more lunch, one more cup of coffee, one more story, one more laugh.
No... We had to take our hands off your spirit, it was not ours to grasp, it never was.
So.. We held you, kissed your forehead, calling to you; Mom, Mom can you hear us? We love you.
You floated in our tears. We fussed with your hair. We held both your hands. We straightened your blankets. We kept calling you, can you hear us, can you hear us?
Silence set in, you never spoke again. Our sense of time disappeared to a place even a clock wouldn't follow. Something changes, everything changes, it is all different now.
The memory of you becomes our reality. It is done.
Oh Sweet Mother of Ours
Pearl of Sea, Breadth of the Wind, Child of God.
Remember us as we will remember you;
When sun gold flickers in the trees.
When morning rain falls softly outside our window.
When the wind whispers through the white poplars.
When we hear the sweet voice of your baby Granddaughter.
This is how we will remember you.
We honor your quiet courage, your sacrifice and your generous spirit. Never forget us. Protected forever in our hearts.
Thank you to all those who shared our day to celebrate our Mother. It made the day very special.

Dear Family, I am heartbroken. The world has lost an incredible woman, who's wisdom was humble and her shyness so endearing. She taught us all so much in everything she did, working hard everyday and raising seven wonderful daughters, (I know she was so proud of all you). May her legacy be a part of you everyday. She welcomed me into her home (always a plate of great food), and shared her family with me on many trips to Alexandria. I have great memories of her with her mother and siblings (always lots of cards,laughs and again, great food). We are all better people for knowing her. Please know the impact she made on me, and that I will always hold a piece of her in my heart.
