Its 2017, 6 years from the day you departed. I am amazed daily at how my life has continued on without you. Although I am blessed and exceedingly happy with a family of my own, it saddens me that you are not here with me to celebrate. I look at your granddaughters and wish you were here with us...with them...and imagine how much love they would shower you with. Even though you are beyond sight and touch, I secretly include you on everything we do. I know, silly me! Please know that we are all okay and that I love you and thank you for the love you left with me. Rest on Mommy.

Hi Mom. Its me again! Another month has passed and the reality of you not being in my immediate reach is still settling in. It gets better every day but at the same time it hurts to realize that I cannot hear you or see you anymore on this side of heaven. I do feel inspired to do what is right in the sight of God so that I can be sure to make it over to heaven one day to not only glorify Him in the totality of my being, but also do so while rejoicing WITH YOU. Oh Lord, how I miss my mother!!! I really understand what is meant when said there is no greater loss than this, aside from losing a child of your own. I am thankful that God has spared you the pain of losing one of your children and ask that HE continues to grant us strength to endure with out you and to live a life upright and representative of the wonderful mother you have been for us and the GREAT GOD HE IS! I love you mom. Continue to rest in peace while we do our best here.

Hi Mom. Its me again. Its been over a month now and I still miss you and wish there was a button I can press to undo the day that you departed for your heavenly home. I know its God's will but that doesn't take away the sadness I feel. I know you wish me well and a life of happiness as your spirit dwells amongst us. I will do my best to live each day according to God's will so that he is pleased enough to allow me to join both of you in that heavenly place where we will all live forever. The days will pass but I will never forget you and will always love you.

Momma, its me again. Its silly to keep doing this because I know you can hear my heart but for some reason it helps me. We are miserable without you. And each time I sit still I become overwhelmed with grief because I miss you and wished I had more time with you. I know...I know...God knows best...trust in Him, is what you would say...is what you are saying to my heart. I know you are fine where you are now and you have left us to carry on with your love and the lifetime of memories you left in our hearts. As the days keep coming and going, I continue to ask how will we go on without you. Funny how time...how life...keeps going even in the midst of the loss of someone we thought we could never live without. NOW I know exactly how you felt when Grandma moved on to her eternity. But you kept going for us and I know I am charged with doing the same. I know all we need is Jesus, but stay close to us mom...PLEASE stay close.

Your Daughter, Lori

I miss you mommy! There are not enough tears to express how sad I am that you are gone. Whatever am I to do in this life without you being here?! A mother's love is the most honest and unconditional love there is, aside from that of our Lord Jesus Christ. God give me strength to learn to live and enjoy a life without you physically being in my reach and too far for me to hear your voice. I know your spirit of love lives in me and I am a reflection of you, but for now my heart is filled with sadness.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
