4/23/2019 Another year has gone by, Mom, and I miss you as much now as I did when you passed. I miss your laugh, your wisdom, your support, your advice, your love. I pray you hear me when I talk to you and know that there are times I feel your presence, especially when a cardinal comes to see me. I look forward to the time when I can see you again, hug you again, and be your little girl again ... xoxo Melinda

It's been 5 years, Mom, and it still seems like yesterday. I miss you so much, it is unbelievable. I miss your voice, your laughter, your wisdom, your love. I miss our talks, I miss our games of Scrabble and 500. I miss going to the Casino with you. I miss just being in the same room with you. I keep thinking it will get easier as time goes on but it doesn't. I can't wait until the day we can be together again...I love you so. Your Melinda

Dear Aunt Dawn,
Though I miss you very much, I take much comfort in knowing that you look down on us and watch over us. You left two wonderful daughters who, like you, are very caring about all in the world around them. I feel blessed that they are my cousins and that you are always with us all. You brought much goodness into the world, you are always in our hearts, and someday, down the road, we will be together with you and all of our loved ones.

Another year has passed, Mom. Another year of missing your voice, your laughter, your advice, your love. You are in a far better place than I and I don't begrudge you that. But what I wouldn't give to be with you again. I love you ... Xoxo Your Melinda

Dear Mom,
It's the Eve of losing you 3 years ago and you have been much on my mind. Well, you always are on my mind, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you or "talk" to you in my mind. I still remember being at the hospital with you, I remember those last 2 weeks so clearly. I still miss you so much, but I know you have been with me. I have felt your presence and still you comfort me and make me feel better like only you could ever do. I love you Mom, now and...

There is not a day that goes by, that I don't miss you. It's been over 2 years now but it seems like yesterday when you left us. I love you so much and can't wait until I can see you again... xoxo Your Melinda
