Hi mom I can't believe that it has been 8 years since you left us. I miss you so much. Your great granddaughter Chloe is such a joy. She and dad would have hit it off so well. She is a little prankster and he would have loved that. I love you both and miss you very much.

Mom
It is the end of the holiday season and we had Christmas Eve at my house. We have a special bundle coming in February. Kristin is going to have a baby. She is so excited and her name is Chloe. The one thing we wish is that you and dad could be here to see her and be a part of her life. You and dad loved the babies so much. I miss you guys so much. I always think of you and I will tell your new grand daughter about her grandma and granddad. Love you always.

Hi Mom
It's been 3 years and I still can't believe your gone. I talk to you all the time and hope that you can hear me. We all miss you so very much. Remember when you would tell us that a day doesn't go by that you wish you could talk to your mom. Well I guess you get to talk to her now, but I wish I could talk to you every day now. Just know how much you are loved and missed.

Merry Christmas
We all were together for Christmas Eve and it was really nice. The kids opened their gifts and seemed to have a good time, but you and dad are so missed. It's just not the same without you and dad. You both liked it so much to see us all together. Well just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you.
Love always

Hi,

Just thinking of you and dad. So much has changed the past couple of years as we add new members, Luke and Haydon, our newest babies. You would have loved seeing them grow.



Life goes on but we will always miss you and Dad and life will never quite be the same.



Love,

Well mom your baby is 50 now and we celebrated yesterday at Cindy's. It was a very nice day and it was great that everyone was there to share it with me. I only wish that you and dad could have been there, that would have made it perfect. I miss you guys so much!!! It is still really hard that you and dad are not here with all of us. I miss being able to talk to you and get advice from you. I guess that will never change.

I love you both so much.

I've been thinking about you a lot these days. I want to be able to ask you to show me how to crochet again or tell me another story about your childhood. I just don't know how to deal with you being gone. It makes me so sad. The only thing I have is the memories and I don't want those memories to fade. Mom I love you so much and miss you even more.

I thought that it would get easier but I was wrong. I miss you so much it is so hard. I miss the closeness that you gave us all. I miss seeing you and just knowing that you loved me and would be there when I needed you. I wish that you where here to listen and give me advise. You were always there and I could tell you how I felt without being judged. I need you!! Mom I love you so much. I guess being able to write you has to be enough. Miss you more than words can say.

Hi,

Well Christmas and New Years have come and gone. It just wasn't the same without you both with us. Everyone was at Edie's and it was the usual crush of gifts and fun watching the little kids. But it will never be quite the same without you and dad with us. I bought little Christmas trees for you and dad and grandma and grandad. Give everyone our love.

Well mom and dad christmas has gone and new years is on its way. We were all together on christmas eve like we always are. It just wasn't the same. I think of you and dad all the time and it makes me so sad that you both are gone from us. It just isn't the same without you both. I wish you were both here with us. You both would have loved seeing the little ones. We took kaitlynn to the zoo lights, lee and trish and hayley went with us. I kept thinking u would have loved them. I know dad bah humbug, you tried to make us think you didn't like the lights and tree's but we all knew that you did like to see the looks on the little kids faces. I want you both here with us, i want to call you and talk, one last time is never enough, so i know i would just keep wanting to have you with us. I miss you both more than words can say, and it is a very sad time in all your kids lives right now without you both, remembering the good time is ok but doesn't seem enough when you are gone. I will always miss you both and want you here with us.

I love you,

It's 4:44 AM just finished wrapping presents and you are on my mind. I remember the stories of Christmas when you and dad would stay up all night wrapping and putting presents together for us kids. You said you would just get to bed and we would wake you guys to open presents. Well here I am still doing the same thing. Crazy isn't it. I guess things stay the same huh! Well Merry Christmas. You will be the first one I say that to today. I took you the Snowman I promised yesterday. I hope you can see it and it made you smile. It is so hard not having you here to talk to and be there for me. I miss you and I am very sad. You and dad were my rock and I feel lost without you. I will miss you and love you always.

Mom,

It's almost Christmas and I know you really like this time with the tree decorated and the lights just right. I was at the store and saw a dancing and singing snowman, it reminded me of you so I had to buy it. After I got home I thought I should buy one for mom and will be going back to get one for you. I really can't believe that your gone. I miss you it seems more everyday. I think about you everyday and want to call you or take you out to dinner. I love you mom with all my heart.

Mom,

I miss you so very much. I know you are now with Dad and no longer in pain. Although you are free of pain, we are hurting. It's so difficult to put into words the emptiness that is felt with your loss. I try to remember the happy times we had as kids and when we were all together. I will always remember your easy going ways and the unconditional love you gave to all of us. I will always love you. Give dad a hug for me. Love,

Mom,

I can't believe you are gone from us. I love you more than i can say.

I will miss you all my life. I know the last month was hard for you being not able to remember things, but you knew all your kids, and grandkids.We all miss you so much. We all feel so lost without you and dad but know that you wanted to be with him. Now i know what you meant when u said that not a day goes by that you didn't want to talk to your mother, i feel the same way, I have started to call you most days, life is so sad without you. The pain seems like it will never go away. I remember how in the last days you would laugh and tell judy and mary they were having bad hair days, i wish you were here to tell us that again. I love you more than words can say, and i will always wish you and dad could be here with us. Tell dad and star hi from us all. Your pain is gone and i am happy for you, you suffered alot over the years and now your free, but our pain is overpowering at times.

Love you forever,

peggy

You are the one that I could always count on to be there. We have shared so much and I will always remember. You were the one I could depend on to always love me no matter what. I will miss you forever. I feel like I am lost and no one will ever find me. I know that you are where you want to be with dad in heaven and that makes me smile. Always know that I will love you forever and you will be in my heart always. Thank you for being my mom.

Grandma, I really enjoyed the time when I went over when you came back home, listening to share your memories with me. It felt strange when I was over at the house the other day. I am glad you are where you wanted to be with GrandDad and Star. I will miss you. I love you Grandma. It really meant alot to me that when I came over to see you that you always told me you loved me and how I was a good person. I love everyone in the family and if anyone needs anything give me a call.
