Yep, that time of the year again. So darn crazy in the world today. I imagine us talking about things and wish we could. Love you.

Love you Mom. I just like to write it down I guess. I wont post on social media but writing here feels private. 3 years, gheesh.

The Steelers are back. Ben's career is winding down and quarterbacks will be big news in the next couple of years. You should see Little Larry and Brooks. They are together every week at Kristi's house. They are going to be friends, you would love it. I wish I knew what happened the night you died. I love you.

I am not sure why I keep coming back here. I have pictures of you that I like better, I talk to you every day right before bed yet still I come back here. Its Easter, your not coming for dinner again this year. That makes two. The boys were talking about the egg hunts at your house, its funny because they were tremendous egg hunts, but to hear them tell it the eggs were as big as cars and made of solid gold. Jake liked the ones with money, Jeff liked the ones with Hershey Kisses. Love you mom.

I don't know what to write. I do know that somehow I miss you more now than I did then. Mikey is going to have a baby and that would have made you a great grammy this year. They haven't told anyone yet but you would have known. You would have been an awesome great grammy. Remember that time we did the Christmas shopping for all of the grandkids together? It was the Christmas after dad died. I have thought of that so many times over the years. Jake asked me yesterday if I knew the name of the virtual reality company you guys invested in back in the early 90's. Of course I didn't. I hate that I cant ask you. Virtual reality is finally taking off, you guys were just 25 years to early! I love you mom. Everyday.

Its Steeler season, I cant call you after the game, but i sit on the porch after the game and I talk to you anyway. Seems like a good season, i miss you.

Some days are harder than others. Yesterday I was reminded of some of the beautiful things about this woman I called Mom.

June 1, 2016

Time, what does that mean? I think of you every day and realize another thing i miss. I love you, Patty

Loving Daughter

March 4, 2016

A fun and loving mother to me as a child, a giving and wise teacher to me as a teen, a role model and mentor to me as a young adult and a true friend to me in my middle age. I will miss all we would have shared. I wish you all could have known her as I did.

Dawn- I wish I knew the right words to say to you and your family to bring you some peace during this time. Thinking of my parents together again truly helped me. Love you and please know I am here if you need anything. Don, Tim, Bailey and I send you, and all your family, our prayers and our love. -Jeena
