You take care of yourself and again please take care of Mom and Nick. Rosalie has joined you now and she needs your protection. You always did anyway.Another member joining you, Loretta. I so sad but I know you are there for them and that makes it a little better. I love you girl with all my heart and every time I look at a picture I smile and remember a time or two we had.

LUKE: 11-NO one, when he has lit a lamp puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lamp stand, that those who come in may see the light. the lamp of the body is the eye. therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad , your body also is full of darkness. There for take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.amen. [read on]

I give thanks to you Father God for your mercy on us,and all your LOVE even when we don't understand your will. I LOVE YOU,and PRAY that you bring us all together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I ask: Amen.
August 30, 2010
I haven't written to you in a while sister because I have been numb.
Our Father joined you and our Mother almost did on the night of his funeral.
I have not been able to say much these days but it will get better. It just doesn't feel better right now.
I haven't forgotten you, on the contrary I miss you more then ever. I wish you were by my side to get me through this.
RIP: My Dad, Nick; my cousin Dominick, my grandpa Floyd, my uncle Adam, my aunt (his wife) Dolores, my uncle Danny. All whom that have passed away in the last 6 months.
Please God keep a watchful eye on Mom, Aunt Connie,Annette, Joey, Bernadette and please lay your hand on the bellies of Heather and Jovette so their babies will be well and healthy.
Amen
Love you Loretta

I'm writing to you with a heavy heart today. Grandpa Floyd has left our family and has joined you and the rest of our family in heaven.
He has lived here a long, long time. He lived for 91 years. He was here long enough to see five generations live. Now we have four. Mom is the oldest in our family now. Watch over her with God and the saints and angels ok.
Hold Grandpa's hand and take him to his children so he is not confused or scared. God promises us peace and happiness, I hope Grandpa finds that now.
I wrote to you on June 9th but for some reason it did not come out on the Guest Book entry. He died June 8th on Jay's birthday. How ironic huh. 1st generation dies on 5th generations birthday?
Love you and as always miss you.
Keep holding the hand of your Mom & Dad, they feel you.
May 9, 2010
Happy Mothers Day my sister. Love you and miss you more than ever today. Your babies are thinking and missing you terribly.
Your Momma is missing you too.
Please know you are always in our hearts and in our souls. You will never be out of my mind.
Love you girl. Please send me some love today ok. Put your arms around your babies so they can feel you too.
Love, me

Loretta, were you waiting for Uncle Adan at the time he crossed over. He was one of your favorites. Remember how he made us laugh? Remember how he talked to us like we were people and not just little kids. Let him know I will miss knowing that he was there to listen. I will miss that I could only call and he will tell me a story. Tell him because I'm sure he is busy right now with his family. Kiss him for me if you can. Love you my Loretta. Love me
February 8, 2010
Happy 54th Birthday Sister. Where are you Loretta? You are supposed to be here with me. We were supposed to grow old together. I feel very alone without you. I feel like my best friend has left me. I know someday we will be together again, but, it is so lonely waiting for that day. Say to everyone there I love them and will pray for them.
As for you I pray I will see you in my dreams soon.
Love me

Hi, Its me. In case you don't know, Ashkon is here. It is so good that he will be able to see Nick. God is good huh? Maybe he will give Nick some time to see all his children.
He is so grown, So handsome. I am proud of him that he came on his own to visit his family. He came to his Grandma first.
Our kids are growing up, Loretta. They have children of their own for the most part. Those that don't have children will be good mommy's and daddy's too.
Well I better get back to work. I was just wanting to share the news about Ashkon.
Love you
January 8, 2010
I am thinking of you and wishing you and I could sit and talk again for just a little while.
I have so much to say right now and need you to say back to me everything is going to be alright. I need you to say that we will get through this together. I need you to cry with. I need you to scream with me. I need you.
I have prayed to you many times Loretta not to let God take my mama and dad. To leave them here with me a bit longer. But now its getting harder for them. Its hurting them. They are in pain. But I still can't let go. Help me
Nick will be with you soon. He is afraid. He is afraid of the dark. Please don't leave him alone. Be there waiting for him ok. I can't talk no more about this. I will call on you later.
Love you, Me

I was thinking about you today and had to write this little note. I think about you almost every day but it's crazy to write that often. But please know I love you and miss you still so very much.
I'm getting older and I wonder all the time how it would be for you and me if you were here getting old with me. Would we be still be complaining about our kids and bragging about our grandkids. Would we be single or would we both be married again.
Would we be the two old ladies sitting on the porch watching the traffic go by and just talking about old times and wishing we could do things over again. Who knows but I wish I had the chance again to try.
I miss you my sister & best friend. I miss you for so many reasons. Keep watch over me will you? I need you. Love you and I talk to you later.

Well another year has passed since you have left us. Still you don't leave our minds and you don't leave my heart. I still miss you my sister, my best friend. They say it is going to get easier with each day, month and year that passes but it hasn't. I still reach for the phone to call you to tell you some great gossip or to tell you something about the kids that we need to figure out. I still think about you on thursday nights when its' time for ER to begin. When am I supposed to forget all these things? Never! Never! Never! I HOPE. I love to think about what we used to do together. Its not as painful anymore because I think God has helped with that, but my memories are like keeping you alive. So Loretta thank you for all the memories.

Happy Birthday Sister! Wow long time since I've said that to you. I miss you, I need you, I want you but most of all I Love You! I hope that where ever you are you are happy and in loving peace. You gave so much love that you are getting it back everyday here girl. Not one day goes by that someone does not say your name. You have left your legacy in this family and in my heart. Your mama thinks of you every single day with a loving heart knowing some day soon she will see again. Your "daddy" thinks of you without hesitation to say my daughter, Loretta. You were and are the center of this family and always will be my love. I miss and will see you again someday. Happy Birthday Loretta, Me

"I just came again to tell you, Lord, how happy I've been, since we've found each other's friendship, And you took away my sin. Don't know much of how to pray but I think about you everyday. So, Jesus, this is me checking in today."

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

When tomorrow starts without me,please try to understand that an angel came, called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready in heaven far above and that I would have to leave behind all those I dearly loved, but when i walked thru heavens gates i felt so much at home when god looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne he said "this is eternity and all i've promised you" today for life on earth is past but here is starts anew I promise no tomorrow today will always last and since each days the same way there's no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart, for everytime you think of me..I'm right here in your heart.

Hi, Loretta, Well girl it's that time of year again. I can't believe it. I was remembering our last christmas together. Me and Mom were at Sam's buying stuff. Remember when we went? We had alot of fun huh? I have been watching Mom buying this year. She is reminding me of you. She is remembering everyone. She is having fun too. Carlene did a beautiful thing to this year. She helped everyone help themselves. Lor I'm working real hard on keeping things together can you tell? Our dad is real sick. Help us if you can o.k. Don't let god take him yet if you can help it ok. but if god has too then you be waiting for him so he won't be scared. Bern did really good and Joe is finding his way. They are going to be o.k. Your grandkids are great. They never forget you. That says alot about you you know. well I got to go it's time to work. I have a million things to say but I'll have to say them to you in my dreams. Bye and Merry Christmas! I Love You So So Much and I Miss YOU.

Hello God, I called tonight to talk a little while. I needed a friend who'll listen to my anxiety. You see, I can't quite make it through a day just on my own...I need you to guide me so I'll never feel alone. I want to ask you please to keep my family safe. Give me faith, dear God, to face each hour throughout the day and not to worry over things I can't change in any way. Thank you God for being home and listening to my call, for giving me such good advice when I fall. Your number is the only one that answers every time. I never get a busy signal. So thank you God, for listening to my troubles and I'll call again tomorrow!

Don't Let Darkness Discourage You
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
Looking for jesus "while it was still dark", Mary herself was filled with darkness as she mourned the death of friend. Her hopes for a new and exciting future were obliterated. Nevertheless, Mary came to the tomb, walking with deliberation and purpose. she was listening to a deep voice in the dark, whice beckoned her to leave her home and come to the place where she had lost Jesus. Then darkness turned to light, for he was waiting for her!
Suppose she had not come. Suppose she had stayed in jerusalem, weeping and wailing while packing her belongings to reture to her hometown of Magdala. Who would have heard the first words of the glorified Jesus? Who would Jesus have sent to tell the others that he was risen? Remember her story when the darkness comes, dream disappear, and hopes fade, for there is still a message for you. A message that Jesus is risen and is waiting for you in the darkness.(john 20:1-20:1-2, 11-18

Hi Lor, Well I think we have eyes here reading with us. I guess thats' ok, maybe its' helping them say to you what I say to you so I going to keep writing to you ok.
How are you doing now that those beautiful masses were given just for you. Do you feel peace now. No, me neither. But I'm sure its' coming. But it was nice. I wish that more of the kids could have gone. I think we need that one more time (or more)together as a family to get through this. Its' really, really hard. Just as you think you got it worked out something else brings you back to one more time I need you. I'm sure its the same with some of the others. Maybe next years anniversary huh?

Hey Lor, Did you feel your Mass's yesterday? I heard Carlene had one too. I know that not all the family could go but it was hard for them for lots of reasons. But mostly the kids had their that they are barely hanging on to. Margaret handles things her own way you know. Mom got through the day the best that she could. A lot what she did was for us but what ever got her through the day I guess. She said some things the other night about starting to leave you in peace. That you must worry alot about us here but its time already to let you enjoy your peace with your son and grandma and whoever else is with you. I can't promise that I can but I will promise you I will try.

Hi Loretta, well it's almost a year that you have been gone. I can't believe it. I feel like it's been only yesterday. I still think of you everyday.
When does it stop hurting so much? I ask that all the time but no one has the answer to that question. They say it all depends on what I don't know I guess thats another question I'll never have an answer to. Only God knows I guess huh?
Well guess what? I'm really trying to get our swimming pool. I don't know if I will but I could use some help here ok.
Lor, please help us get through this ok. We all need some help. We are all hurting and I don't know what to do for them. It used to be I could just call you and we would talk it over and figure out all the family problems but now I'm by myself. HELP!

Well Lor, I went to the Cemetary last week. I can't believe that 10 mos have already passed by. I still feel the hurt as when you passed. I really couldn't feel anything there at your grave. It to me isn't where your at. I know wherever your at its not there. I know that your visiting and laughing and certainly talking a whole bunch to whoever is with you. I wonder always if your with Grandma Margaret. I wish I knew. I don't know I think it might feel a little better knowing that. I'm 100% sure you must be with Tony. But I would like to think of you with your grandma too. I know when I go I want to be with her. Well I have to go now, but I'll write again real soon ok.

Dear Loretta, Memorial Day is coming and this year it has a new meaning to me. It just isn't Bar-B-Que and lets get together, it's remembering you and the others that went before you. I hope I can make myself go to your grave. I can't believe it thats' the first time I have said that word. I want to find peace with this, maybe it will help to be there with your body. I don't know. I'll let you know next week. See you in my dreams.

Auntie, I know yesterday was the day, but I couldn't write anything then. I couldn't function then... Today, Mom and I were together all day and we needed that. We mentioned you as we always do, and we just paused because we knew... We knew how much pain yesterday brought us both. We knew why our eyes were both bloodshot and why neither of us slept last night. We knew why we talked at 7am and knew why we had to be together today. I love and I miss you so darn much aunt and I just cant stand it sometimes. I don't know how we go on sometimes. I love you

Loretta, Well we're starting a new year and I still can't believe that you are not here to share it with me. I still have those same problems that we shared but now I have no one to share them with. I try but its not the same. Maybe thats the way its supposed to be. You get that one special bond with someone and no one else. However, time goes on and I do the best I can without you. Every once in a while I can feel you, smell your perfume, listen to a song that we both loved (Marisela) and remember a memory that brings me close to you (ER). I guess that will have to do for now until I see again some day. I miss you!

Auntie, I love you oh so very much. I think of you each and every day. There is so much going on in my life and so much that only you I would go to and talk to about it. I would confide in you about things because I knew that you understood things, that you have lived the things that I am living and you have went through the things in your mind that I am going through. People thought that you were crazy and you didnt care. People think that I am crazy, and I agree at times. I miss you so much it hurts. I want to touch you, to hug you. To see you smile. To show you my new hair cut. I want to see your new eye color. I love you so much. Everything has fallen apart since you left us. Nothing is the same. No one is the same. Our glue isn't here anymore. We all miss you so much. I love you auntie.

auntie... words cant and wont ever be able to express how much you are loved not only by your family, but also your friends. Auntie im sorry you never got to come to the beach with us... (dont worry you didnt miss much). Being so far from my aunt and all the rest of my family i dont have as many memories as everyone else, but my favorite memory i have with you is this past christmas after alicia dropped me off, while we were waiting for my mom to come and get me, i remember the conversation we had (me you and grandma). We talked about everything, anything i wanted to talk about we talked about. We talked about Tony and you told me so much about my cousin who i never really got to know you talked to me about this opperation and how much better you would be after it you even said how you thought it was crazy to only be eating such a little amount (in which i agreed, we talked about even though we loved Jesus how neither one of us like crusfics and i remember neither of us liked the pictures on the wall in grandmas extra room because it made it look like people were staring at you. i remember all the storys you told me about when you are younger. Aunie physically you may not be here but you will always be in my heart and i will always remember you. Auntie i promisse not to ever brake that promisse i made with you. i love you so much and i know right now as im watching this and at all times you are watching me up above!

Auntie,I pay my respects, Thinking on all my regrets,Carved in our hearts, And seen in my mind, We see something special, But in our hearts we will find, The goodness and the love you gave others. No more tears shall we cry, Instead we sigh, tomorrow you'll be in a better place-than this you left behind.On your journey ahead, we wish you the best, cause now you can eternally rest. Please don't have any sad feelings,As for us this begins our healing. Remembering all the pleasure you've brought. While a little recognition is all you sought. We can't fill the void in our hearts, But we know you get a fresh start. We wish you were here. We're sad you're gone. In our hearts you'll always live on, in our hearts you'll be, But your soul we're setting free. Love Always and Forever! Annette, Eddie, Jojo
