Mom, today is your birthday and I'm really missing you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and remember some funny times. I love you so much.

Mom, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I can't stop thinking about you. I see you in the kitchen making my "favorite cookies" as you called them. I could still smell them. Today I was telling everyone at work how you lived for the holidays and that every ounce of your love went into every gourmet dinner you presented. Holidays will never, ever be the same. I miss you, the kids miss you more than you would ever know. I love you mom, you are with me on the holidays and everyday.

Forever in Our Hearts...
Mom, I spent the day moving some of your stuff. The hardest part was finding all the things we made for you when we were little. As bad as they were you always hung them up with pride no matter how bad they clashed with the decor! I'm still looking for the rock Steve painted red so I can send it to California!
I love you mom, and miss you terribly. We all agreed on this picture to use for your memorial. I'm sure you would have agreed.
Love "puppy"

Mama,
I really don't even know where to begin. It's really hard to grasp the fact that you aren't here. Every time i here the phone ring early in the morning i use to be like oh that's mama... and then i'd hear mommy say... "Hey ma". When the phone rings now.... i still catch my self thinking that it's you. I'll tell ya one thing... I'm not looking foward to the holidays this year.. We've done the same thing since i was little, and it's going to be hard to think that we have to do it...

Ma,
I remember the day that I moved up to PA. from NJ. Mike was so happy.(No more $500 phone bills).For the past 25 years we would talk on the phone sometimes 5 times a day. I will miss that. You were more than a mom to me . You were my best friend. You taught me how to cook and bake, but most importantly you taught me how to be a good person. You will always be forever in my Heart. I will miss you always, but I know you will always be with me.
Love your Dolly Girl

Mommie,(as you had always spelled it)
When we were with you we were home no matter where we were. Having you live with us for the last 3 months was like being home again. I miss you so very much. The house seems so empty without hearing your laughter and hearing your sci-fi movies late at night. But I still feel you all around me. Your presence will be with me always. I will always think of you and how you loved your children. Thank you mom for being you. May God bless you and...
