It is a month today that I lost my sister, Marylin. It seems like yesterday that I spoke to her. She was anxious to join her beloved husband, George, and leave all the discomfort and worry behind her.
I miss her beautiful voice, and the conversations we had on the phone. We would talk about our children, grandchildren, bridge, the food channel, and anything else that came to mind.
I know that all her friends in Buena Vista, Virginia will miss her too. I was privileged to meet many of Marylin's friends. What beautiful and caring people; always there for her to help in any way they could.
She loved her bridge and played with a great passion. We would share our wins and losses, and look forward to discussing it with each other.
I am happy Marylin has moved on to the next chapter in her journey, but I truly miss her..........

Dear Mama,
My heart as been empty and numb since your passing with you no longer there to answer my calls. I miss you! After going through some pictures and reading Michelle's memories and thoughts of you, reminded me of your favorite poem and want to make it part of your memory here today. It was true how Christmas was your favorite holiday and we all, plus our friends always remember you for those very special times, and how this poem rings so true to your character:
"It is Christmas!"
Did Love speak to you today in some new and glorious way? Then it is Christmas!
Did Faith move in upon the scene where doubt and darkness once had been? Then it is Christmas!
Did Hope replace a nagging fear or sadness yeild its place to cheer? Then it is Christmas!
And When you know God's love for you is just the same the whole year through, Then Each Day is Christmas!
Miss Ya Mama....Love Gaylee Bird

Dear Gail,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing, other than to say she is now at peace and suffers no more. Going back over the years we have been friends and knowing the beautiful relationship your Mom and Dad had gives comfort to know they are now forever together. Remember we will all be together again once more in heaven, but for now always in spirit. My condolences to you and your sister and the rest of your family.
Love...Jan & Steven

Dear Aunt Gail,
Sorry to hear about your loss.I will be praying for your peace in the upcoming days and weeks during this difficult time. I know your faith will lift you and I am sure your mom is in good company with her husband and my father, of course.
PRAY FOR OTHERS
My prayers reach out, near and far, to bless my loved ones.
I look at the first glimmer of the moon in the evening sky and know that it is the same celestial object that shines in the evening sky above my loved ones. And I may be thinking particularly of one who is a world away, saying good morning to the rising sun as I am saying good evening to the setting sun. Still, I know in my heart that we are in one world and one in Spirit.
Wherever we are, the Christ in me greets the Christ in my loved ones. We share a spiritual connection that neither space nor time can interfere with. I imagine my prayers taking wing, reaching out to bless those I love.
I pray, affirming always that we are aware of our oneness in Spirit, and that each one is safe and healthy, happy and fulfilled.
"But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the words of my prayer."--Psalm 66:19
Take Care and I love you!

Thinking back on my memories, I have many that remind me of how much both my grandparents loved me. My earliest memory was spending the night at their home in Moorpark. I was very young maybe 4 or 5. I will never forget the strange and confused feeling I had being there alone with my grandparents, nothing negative, but more of the emptiness of missing my very own parents. Playing with the dogs, wondering around, looking out the sliding glass door, waiting to be picked up from school type feeling. The next thing I remember is bed time and a little more of an uneasiness type feeling building up, wondering if my mom and dad were going to be there to tuck me into bed the unconditional loving way they would most every night. I remember almost being broken hearted until I felt the gentle tickle from the next best thing, Grandma, while never forgetting the momentary shock of Grandpa in his tighty whiteys, and the entrainment of a classic movie from Grandma's endless movie library. This is a vivid memory of mine when I think about her. This last year I am so very glad that I got to spend the time I did with grandma, reassuring me of the important things in life. How simple things in life are the most rewarding, the same way she did twenty years ago. Enjoy all that life has to offer even if I don't end up getting a Seven No Trump. I miss you grandma...

I would like to say how many wonderful memories I have of Mar-lee...that is what I and many others called her. Her talents amazed me...they were endless. She welcomed me with the friendship of her daughter Eileen like I was an addition to her family. Christmas was always her favorite time of the year. It was like a toyland, a christmas wonderland in her home as she invited guests and showered them with gifts and more gifts! Her decorations were endless and her energy too! I remember her giggle when others made her laugh and how it made us laugh to hear hers. She was a strong women and had endured so much throughout her lifetime but never ever gave up. There was always a new adventure that kept her going such as her ceramic classes, doll making, flower shops and numerous friendships she made along the way. She was a women of great strength and courage however I know how much she missed her George and I am grateful she suffers no more. May these memories and many more comfort all of you in the days ahead. My prayers are with you Sharon, Gail, Eileen and Rita. With all my love and sympathy, Michelle

Over the years, Rita spoke so kindly of her sister Marilyn. Rita and John did so much to help and care for her. Rita often spoke of Marilyn's artistic talents, especially with flower arranging and ceramics. Thankfully Marilyn's long suffering is over and she is at peace.

My Dear Sister,
Your long battle is now over, and you are at rest. No more discomfort, only thoughts of getting a great bridge game going.
I love you so much, and treasure our time we had together.
You will be close to me in my heart forever.

To all My Moms friends in Buena Vista...I send my deepest appreciation for your kindness and friendship to my Mom. She always spoke so graciously about all her new friends that cared and looked over her. Although I would have loved her to spend her years here with us in California, it was clear she was very happy to be apart of the community there with you all....Again, with much gratitude for your kindness...Sincerely, her daughter Gail

The Joys of Remembering
There's a heap of satisfaction
to sit here thinking of you
And to tell you once again, Mom,
how very much I Love You.
There is comfort just in longing
for a smile from your face
and joy in just remembering each sweet and fond embrace.
There is happiness in knowing
that my heart will always be
A place where I can hold you
and keep you near to me.
...for those who love, time is ternity!
Love You Mama....Gail
