Happy thanksgiving!! I miss you so much its insane. We as a family fell apart when you passed away. So much went unsaid but i know you see all looking down on us from heaven. I hope one day we can all.come together again for you at least. I wish you was here for a phone call just yo hear your voice. A question to be answered. Anything at all. I think about you every day. I hope you see me right now and can guide me on these questions inneed answered. I pray you look over our family. Time does not heal all wounds we just move with it. The pain gets buried only to hurt the same when we dig it up. I love you always... Happy Thanksgiving.

So another year has almost passed, I cant believe that in 30 minutes it will be 6/23 again. I swear to you this doesn't get easier, the pain and emptiness never go away, never lessen. My heart hurts so bad without you, they say you dont know what you have until its gone and that is the definition of truth. I wish I could go back in time armed with the knowledge I have now, I would have cherished every second I had to spend with you, I would have really made each minute count, I wouldn't have taken not one breath for granted. All I have now are the memories and I promise you I cherish every single one, I hold on to them with every ounce of my mind, heart, soul. I pray that you are resting peacefully and take solice in knowing that for the rest of my time here on earth I have you as my angel and that when my time here is up you will be there to greet me and once again wrap me in your arms. Your memory will never die here, I love and miss you more and more each day. 6/23/08-Eternity.
Love your pride and joy

Dear Grandma
It's so much fun when I'm with you!
You have great things for us to do.
I'll bet that you look back and see
When you were little just like me.
Did you play games and ride a bike?
Why, I didn't know we were so much alike!
I hope you had a grandma like mine,
Always patient and loving, cheerful and kind.
Here is a secret, and it is true-
Everyone needs a grandma like you!

nan~ this was our firts mothers day without you and to be honest it was just as i thought it would be.. we all knew it was mothers day and some of us tried to celebrate it for the kids but still in our hearts we knew something was missing.. there was an emptiness that filled the day. I wonder if its always gonna be like this if every holiday for ever is gonna be just another reminder that you are not with us? We will never forget you we miss you so much.
love you always nancy and boys

nanny christmas is coming way to fast this year..it hurts way to much knowing that your not here. I miss you so much and its like this everyday it hurts me to think that your so far away..day turns into night night turns into day with every passing moment I ask why he took you away? storms storms,sun shines seasons change and im still not fine. hearts break tears flow, why do we lose the ones that we love so. they say you dont know what you have until its gone, why cant we keeo the ones who mean so much forever long. I watch people passing on the street so full of holiday joy, christmas carols playing all over the place and all I have left is the memory of your face. A life so broken and so sad not only were you my grandmother but the best friend I ever had. the bitter cold is closing in children counting the days until santa comes flying in. but for one family this year will not be the same the joyous season cannot outweigh the pain. the prsents dont matter the tree doesnt count the lights are al out. we have lost so much with the passing of you our hearts will never be the same and that is so true. Wherever you are I hope you can see, this christmas means nothing without you nanny...
I love you and you are so sadly missed..Merry Christmas nany toni
