A full year has come and gone. Each celebration missing your shining presence. Each day missing your words of comfort and guidance. Oh Nana, how we all miss you so. We go on, only because we must, with the knowledge in our hearts that we will be together again. We will share in your joyous laughter, your kind words, and your warm embrace. How we long for that day... I cherish each and every memory we shared. You were ours. It was a long, hard year without you. There's more of that to come. We...

To Nana, who shaped each of our lives in ways that define us as individuals and as a family:

Your abundance of love and your courage in the face of adversity live on as shining examples of who we would like to be. The loss of your touch leaves our skin forever longing for your warmth; the loss of your unrestrained laughter makes our ears ring with silence. Although we cannot see your smile or smell your perfume like we did before, we feel you among us and know you will never leave....

Dear Mom~

Today we stood at your grave and as we all mourned your passing, we were amazed that a year has already passed. A year of "firsts" without you...our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays...all celebrated with tears of love. We made it through those days with a heavy heart, wishing we could spend those days with you. Today I placed flowers on your grave, missing you with each passing moment. It does not get easier, I still want to call you with the latest news;...

Nana,

Today is your birthday; you are 64 and I have spent the entire day wishing more than anything I could call you to wish you the happiness you have always deserved and always brought to my life. It is so hard to not be able to hear your voice, to not even be able to visit your resting place, but know that you are so much in my heart today that I am overflowing, with tears and with love.

Forever Yours,
Jessie

Dear Mom~

as the anniversary of your hospitalization nears, my heart is filled with sadness of what we lost. Little did I know that day that our time together was growing very short. I miss you more and more with each passing day. You were such a gift to all of us and you are and forever will be, dearly missed.

Love,
Deb

I dialed your number on the phone yesterday thinking you would answer, and then I remembered...

Some things get lost, some things just disappear
But not my love for you, I'll keep that close and near
Some things just fade, like scars and dreams
But I've got your heart right here with me

I can't believe you're gone, not the light I knew...

I miss you more with each passing day, Nana. Love Always, Jessie

Nana you are the greatest I love you and miss you so much!! Nana I just want you to know you are always in my heart!!!
