January 23, 2016
In loving memory of my wife Cecelia Hines,May 24th 1942 - December 21st 2016.
As the guest book closes today sweetheart and leaves only memories, I thought I would pen a Obituary that "YOU" would write, were you able to do so for yourself.
"Beyond the sunset and after glow"
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times, and laughing times and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done!
34 days has passed and I can not wrap my mind around your passing and reason for it.

Hello Mother: Well unfortunately this has to be my last message on your guest book.
I just wanted to make sure that you know how much I miss you and love you.
A few things: When people ask a me to define mother I will always say Cecilia Hines. You are and will always be the best mother. I guess I am trying very hard not to seem selfish because I had 55 years of your love and comfort. I just wish I had more, but you know me I always want something. Best I do consider myself very blessed.
You always put us kids first and that is a memory that will stay with me forever and ever. You always put someone else first and never yourself.
I have so many memories that I laugh and cry about. All the times I would beg to wear your rings when I was little and said I would behave and then I still would give the dentist a hard time. I laugh at that time. I just so much remember you holding me saying everything would be ok and I just kept crying and then asked to wear your ring, of course you let me wear your ring. I remember when you had two broken legs and us three kids were little and you keeping us together and you going down the stairs on your butt. Truly amazing mom. Us kids such big shoes to fill as a parent. You did a great job with all of us kids. I know you always told me Diane taught me everything when I was little and that all I would ever say is Dee Dee. I still blame Dee for everything (lol). She is the best sister you could give me, even though she does not answer her phone and gets on my last nerve however. Walt I guess there will never be enough words for my big brother that you blessed me with also. He is my rock, however extremely soft mother. I believe his heart is as soft as yours. Wouldn't ask for anything different. He loved you so much. He most definitely loved making your Mother's Day and birthday special. His words would always be do whatever you have to Karen just take the money from the bank. What a son. Then of course there is JR. What can I say about JR. Now JR is hard as a rock however I believe his heart broke (I think a little more then he leads us to believe)when you became an angel. He did love you as well mother. How could any of us kids not love someone as special as you.
Also just so you know we are keeping an eye on the lion king (ie Dad). He is doing a good job for you. You were his world and will always be his world. However he now knows you were the boss (lol). I will try to supervise as best as I can.
I know you never understood why dad and I always butt heads, but it was because we always wanted the best for you just in different ways. He would spoil you and my way was the tough love way. But I guess as long as we both had the same goal is what counted in the end.
So now that your an angel, please keep us strong.
I will do my best and you will always be in our hearts and NEVER forgotten.
I love you mom with all my heart. xxoo

Hello mother just sitting here playing games. I miss you so much. I you with all my heart. I feel so lonely without you. I have to tell you as much as you did for me you never gave me enough strength to be without you. I am trying my best but this is the hardest thing in life. We had so much fun together as a mother and daughter. You are and always will mean the world to me. I know as our mom you gave all of us kids wings to fly and be adults. However I guess I never realized without you our wings are torn. You were the best mother. Our wings can never be fixed. Just remember I love you.

Hello Mother: I am just reviewing my previous message and see several spelling errors oops. I was using my cell phone to type. However, I just want to make sure you understand how much I love you and will always love you. You always gave us kids 110%. Your heart was as big as the world. I know I always drove you crazy but I know that is what you loved most about me. Just remember to be on the lookout for my balloon. I will send you a message when I send the balloon so pay attention (lol). I try very hard not to cry everyday, but no success. I love ya mom. Just please help me to stay strong. xxoo

Hello mother I just wanted to say hello. I you so much. Trying not to drive anybody crazy. Haven't spoke to Dee. As usual she isn't answering the phone. I will be sending you a balloon. I want to send you a special message. I just want you to realize how much you mean to me. I think about you every day. Still trying to believe I don't have you to call every day. But I will never forget you our memories. You have given me a great deal of strength so I using that to help me. However I am sending a ❤ felt message in the balloon. But most of all thank you for always taking care of us kids, grandkids and great kids. You have always been one of a kind. You always said you never knew where I came from, but I am proud and honored to have been your daughter.

A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home ,Which can never be filled, We have to morn the loss of one, We did our best to save, Beloved on earth, regretted still and remembered in the grave, It was hard to part with one so dear, We little thought the time was near, Farewell dear one, your life is past, Our love for you till the end will last.
18 days and counting and the hurt and the loneliness will never fade away.
