Adele M. Martz

Mom,

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Leaving you for the second time this summer was even harder than the first.

Ronnie celebrated his 9th birthday in New York and he missed not having you there. We went to dinner with Chrissy, Monique, Todd, and Malique and what a good time we had. I have missed them so very much. What I would do to be back home near you, Dad, Chrissy, Monique and the kids.

Tyonna is back at school, had to go back...

Mom,
I think about you each and every day. It is still so hard without you. As much as we bickered and argued (well you bickered, I just let it run in one ear and out the other..lol)I so realize how much you were my best friend. I am sitting here looking at your pictures and my heart aches as I now know exactly what you went through and how you felt when grandma passed away. Life just isnt the same, and I know it never will be. I feel so lonely and distant from so many. I just can't seem...

First Easter without you was so hard. Ronnie misses you so much and although he doesn't express it or show his feelings that often...it showed yesterday. He is containing himself to be strong for his mommy, and I feel so bad about that. I should be the one taking care of him. Im working on it, I promise.

Nothing will ever be the same without you, nothing. Still can't seem to accept you not being here, but I continue to pray for strength and motivation to keep moving. I know I have...

You consume most of my thoughts. Occasionally I'll get too busy and have you slip away from the forefront of my mind for a few hours, but you find your way right back by the end of the day. The term "heartache" was just an expression before you passed.....now I understand where it came from. My heart literally hurts every single time I remember that you're no longer on Earth with me. Oh how I wish I could talk to you just one more time and have you hear me say that I love you. Even though I...

All,
Aunt Adele will be greatly missed. She has been an influence of joy to the family.

TO THE MARTZ FAMILY
I WORKED WITH ADELE WHILE WE WERE TELEPHONE OPERATORS IN NYACK. WE SHARED MANY LAUGHS AND I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HER. WILL KEEP HER AND YOUR FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS

Aunt Adele, may you rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord. I remember always loooking forward to coming and spending the night at your house when I was growing up. You always just let me 'be myself'. You always understood me and 'got me'. I will love you forever for that. Please watch over my mom, Denise, and help her and all of your devoted family, so they can get through this. I love you Aunt Adele. Sherry (Stach) Miller. Kentucky
