Today is Christmas Day and I envy you for being able to spend it with Jesus Christ. It must be beautiful in heaven especially at this time of year. I want you to know that your spot in my heart will never be filled by another. I know you can see what's going on and I know it hurts you but like in the talk we had last night I have to see if there's anything there or not. I love you and I always will there is no changing that but I am still here with a very empty spot in my life. I don't want your blessing I just don't want you to hate me either

You are always in my thoughts and my heart and I keep holding on to your strength to make it through each day. I still can't believe ours lives turned out separated this way,but my love for you is stronger now than ever. Party good. I know you are well in Gods hands and for that I am happy. I love you

Monday it will be two years since you passed. It seems like only yesterday. With each day that goes by I miss you more ,there is a giant hole in my heart that will never be filled by any other. The 50 plus years we were together was not enough. The things we have together have turned to just stuff. I am very fortunate to have had the time we had together. My memories of you being here are something I will never lose. I love you and some day we will be side by side forever.

You were the best sister ever and I will admit it took several years to realize that. I miss you so much and more than I thought I would. I know you are with the Lord and so healthy now but would give anything to see you, hug you, pick on you, tell you just how much I love you and then send you back home to your peace and Jesus. We are watching over Larry for you. He misses you, its be hard but he is managing it. You would be proud.

It has been a year today since you passed and I miss you more now .Time will never lessen the pain because each day I think of something more that I miss about you, it's funny how love can still grow.I wish there is more I could of done so you would still be here with me. I know I'm greedy but that's only because I Love You way beyond any kind of words could explain.You have shown me several times you are still here with me and you will forever be in my heart. It's not a mountain too but it's here for everyone to see and read, I Love You.

I will miss hearing, "You were always my favorite". (Favorite WHAT I was never sure...LOL). Always accompanied by a giggle, kiss & a hug if I was within reach.. She always made sure I knew just how much I was loved & that is a priceless gift. I will miss her.

Larry and all, I am so very sorry to hear that Mary has passed. After being her hair stylist for so many years, there is one thing that I am absolutely sure of, her family was everything. I know you will all miss her more than can be expressed. But know you have an angel up there watching over all of you, just as she did on earth. My deepest sympathy.
May 12, 2014
May you find comfort in the arms of an angel.
Sincerely & Respectfully,
Ron & Evelyn Cesavice
