Mom,

Merry Christmas to you. I know you are with us in spirit and probably looking at us from heaven as we celebrate Jesus' birth. He's most likely telling you his story of his son's birth. You are with us mom, in heart and soul and we all miss you. The holidays are especially difficult without you.
Dad's doing fine and Lisa, Jackie and Vickie have been taking good care of him, so you don't have to be concerned. We love you mom. May the eternal light shine upon you and that you rest in peace. Will see you someday and I hope you are waiting for us when we leave this world.

Love forever,

Annie

Hi Mom,

I remembered your birthday, August 29th. Happy Birthday, mom. It was the first birthday that I couldn't call you up and talk to you. You would be 82 now, and still not even looking your age. Everyone says that I resemble you so much. I'm proud to be your daughter and will always remember your birthdays, mother days, holidays that you could hae been with us. Our Lord was ready for you and so were you ready for our Lord. He loves you mom and is taking care of you. I pray everyday for you and hope that my heart will slowly stop grieving for you, as it has been difficut this year. It's been only 5 months and maybe we'll all understand that you had to leave us for a better life, a better place and at peace with no more suffering.

Love you mom,

Annie

Hi Mom,
I hope you had a nice Mother's Day in heaven. It was so heartbreaking not to talk to you on that day. We all thought of you alot and want you to know how much we miss you. Mary and Michael went to see you at the cemetary. Your name is on it now. Concetta "Tina" Kula and also Dads name, I believe is on it, since he will be buried with you when the Lord takes him from us. I miss your smiles, your funny sayings and superstitions that were really not superstitions at all. I hope you are free from pain and suffering and our Lord is taking care of you. Someday, I will see you again. All my love, mom. You are my dear, precious mother and will always be in my prayers and in my thoughts. I read Auntie Maria's note to you and it made me cry and cry and cry. Thanks Auntie Maria for writing to your sister, aunt and mother to us. Those were precious words and thoughts you sent to mom.
Love you Auntie Maria. Please write in here again to mom.
Love always forever & ever!!!
your daughter Annie

Mom,
I wish some of my brothers or sisters write to you too. But, I guess they grieve in different ways. I remember when I received my Holy Communion and you told me you loved me. I'll never forget that. I know you loved us all by your kind actions and you sure took good care of us all. I miss talking to you and seeing you. You know we love you and I pray to God every day for your soul. Our Lord loves you mom and He has you in a better place. God will take good care of Dad while he's here on earth. Your daughters are taking good care of Dad, like they did for you while you were on this earth. Have a peaceful, sunny day. Miss you!!!
Love, Annie

Mom,
It's Wednesday. Am having a tough time of it knowing you are gone from this earth. I hope you are having a good day, free from pain and suffering. I know God has taken away all your fears, pain & suffering, so that you will be at peace. He's a loving God and I know he is good to you. We miss you every single day. Lots going on down here. Talked to Lisa. Tim & Lisa are keeping Dad busy. I dread the thought when he goes back to Florida. He'll be alone more often. Maybe Jackie will keep him busy or talk to him or go over and see him every day. Hope so. I send my love to you and know that you our peaceful now. My heart aches for you.
Love, Annie

Mom,

It's Monday morning. Talked to Uncle Tony this morning. Hope you are having a good day. Thanks for sending us the sun. Spring is here! Love you mom and miss you every day. It's going to get better for us all. We are grieving because you are not here with us, but I know you wanted our Lord to take you. You were ready and I heard you say, "God, please take me." Have a wonderful day in heaven.
Love, Annie

Mom,
I came across a birthday card today that I never sent you. Guess I called you instead. I haven't written you for a few days, but I do think of you always. I know that you are happy and smiling with our Lord. He's so good to you. Mother's Day is coming soon. It will be difficult remembering you that day, but you are still my mom and will wish you all the good things that you deserve, especially being with our Lord. It will be a Happy Mother's Day for you because you are at peace and no more pain. The sun is shining right now and it's cold out. Pray for Spring to come, so we will feel better.
Miss you mom.
Love, Annie

Mom,
It's Thursday and wanted to let you know that we grieve for you. My heart tells me so. Please come into my dreams to let me know you are doing ok. I know you are, but seeing you would help my grieving. Your daughters and sons miss you and love you. Please have a good day and I will be praying for your soul. I know Dad misses you too.
Love, Annie

Dear Mom,
It's Wednesday and I woke up thinking of you. My heart aches this morning. Maybe the rain does that to me, I don't know. I pray for your soul everyday and miss you every day. I have regrets that I couldn't spend more time with you, but I know I will spend time with you not far from now. I love you and miss you. I know you said to me one day that you didn't pray much, but I will pray for you.
Have a sunny day in heaven with our Lord and all your family and friends. You are home now, Mom.
Love, Annie

Mom,
Saw Dad at Lisa & Tim's house. Dad's doing ok. Lisa & Tim are taking good care of him. Did you happen to stop by on Easter Sunday at Lisa & Tim's home? I hope that you did. The lights went off at Lisa's house for a few seconds or so. I just know it was you checking in on us. We talk about you and hope you hear us. We miss you. You are our mother who will never be forgotten. Have a wonderful day with our Lord, family and friends in heaven.
Love you with all my heart.

My dear Mom,
It's been a month now and seems like years that you are gone. Grandma Kula said that you shouldn't be afraid to die. I know now that you were ready to go and our Lord was waiting for you in heaven. You are worthy of his love. I will always miss you and I hope my brothers and sisters will pray for your soul too. We all miss you! Have a good day and pray for us that we have harmony in our family. Dad's doing ok, but may have his hip replaced. Pray for him, mom.
Thanks mom.
Love you, Annie

Mom,
Today is April 4th. One month that you are gone. I pray everyday for you and also friends will have masses said in your honor. What a wonderful world, it is. Sometimes, happy, sad, and laughter of good memories of you. I remember you always saying, someday you wait and see when you have no mother. It's so true and an emptiness is in my heart. Have a blessed day with our Lord. Talked to your godchild Anna yesterday. Anna misses her Pat. So tell him to send her a sign that he's ok, & she'll be ok. It takes time, though. Thanks mom for giving me life. Miss talking to you.
Love, Annie

My lovely mom,

It's Tuesday, April 3rd. It's colder outside this morning. I am praying for your soul today and everyday. I do miss you, but I know you are laughing and probably talking about us to our Lord. I'm going by myself to see Lisa & Tim and Dad this Good Friday when Jesus died on the cross for you, our family & the world. May the perpetual light shine upon you always. Wonder if you had a chance to have those muscles and clams that Jackie and Lisa sent to you? I hope you enjoy them. Feast with our Lord, he will like that.
Love you so much,
Annie

Hi Mom,
It's Monday, April 2nd. I'm running a litte late this morning, so I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and last night I looked at the stars and wondered if you were there. I hope you have a good day and are resting. I will pray for you today as always. Jackie's having a tough time still. I thought she was getting better. In time she will.
Love, Annie

Dear Mom,
It's the first day of April. It's sunny out and a good day to work outside. How are you? I hope you and Vicky are together, as well as your family and friends that you hadn't seen for a long, long time. My heart hurts today, because I miss you and love you. Have a wonderful day at peace. Our Lord loves you and he died for our sins and yours. What a sacrifice he made for you and all of us. It's Palm Sunday today. Lisa, Jackie and I talk about you all the time and Lisa saw your bright star last night. By the way, I'll be seeing Dad next week at Lisa's house. She's going to keep him busy and fatten him up a little. I know you always worried about him and you were so good to him.
Love you,
Annie

March 31, 2007

Mom,

Good Morning. It's Saturday and am thinking of you. Talked to Jackie this morning. She's doing a little better. Lisa's working out in the yard to day. It's a sunny day out and I'm sure the sun is shining in heaven for you. Love you and miss you.

Mom,

It's Friday and I'm thinking of you. Just wondering how you are. I know we talked about dying and you asked me where do we go after we leave this world? I remember telling you that it was a mystery. But now you know it's not a mystery anymore. Only you and our Lord know now. I miss you and pray for your soul today and everyday. Say hello to everyone for me. I love you with all my heart.
Love, Annie

Mom,

It's Sunday and I'm thinking of good memories of you and our talks we use to have on the balcony. I miss you so much. You raised us to be humble and loving and you did a good job of raising seven kids. You are my strength and I love you. It's a beautiful day here and a beautiful day in heaven for you.

Dear Lisa and Family,

My sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom. Lisa, I will always remember how silly we were in high school and how your Mom would laugh right along with us. "Going to Norwich", etc. Those thoughts still make me smile. She was a great lady.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Love and happy memories only,
