Mom - We just celebrated Mikey and Dad's birthdays at Mike's and it was so strange not having you there. Mike made a wonderful meal - the chicken parm was awesome - you taught them well.
Though none of us said it, I know we were all thinking the same thing - we miss having you there.
As I type this, my heart aches. I can't tell you how deeply loved and missed you are right now. Keiana and I have been busy with knitting hats and scarves; I wish you could see the excitement in her...

Mom.. it's been two weeks short of 2 months since you were taken from us. I wish you were still here with us. The amount of pain I feel in my heart is unbearable at times. I try not to show how much it hurts but at this time in my life I need you so much. So much is going on and all I want to do is talk to you and I can't. You were my mother and my best friend and now I have neither. I can't believe that you are gone. It doesn't feel like you are. I keep waiting for a phone call or to...

To the best mom any daughter could have ever asked for. Yesterday was a month since your passing and it feels like a life time since I lasted talked to you. I feel bad at times knowing I could have been a better daughter to you, but one thing is true I loved you with all my heart and will never stop loving you. Your love for me was unconditional no matter what the situation was you were always there for me and I never had the chance to say Thank You. So if you can see or hear me I sending...

Mom, I am not sure where or how to begin. All I know is that my life has changed so much since your passing. It is hard to believe that you are gone, that you are no longer physically here with us. I keep waiting for the phone to ring to here your voice and be able to talk to you about Mikey or Ceasar. There have been a number of times I went to call you only to realize that you would not be there to pick up the phone. I can’t begin to put into words how much I miss you. You will always be in...

Dear Mrs. McLeane,
I still can't believe you are no longer with us. You were an execellent mother and grandmother and lets not forget what a great cook! You will be missed, but never forgotten. Love, The Lopez Family

Mama Bear,

I think of you every time I sit down to knit. You may not have known this, but I taught myself to knit because of you. Once I got the hang of it, I taught Keiana which I know was something that made you proud even if you never said it.
I, too, will never forget the talks and all of those little moments that meant an awful great deal to me. Mostly, I thank you for loving my children and for giving me the greatest gift of all... the man I am proud to call my husband. ...

Mom, it has been a long month + without you. The thought of you not being around to take my phone calls and me waiting for that next phone call has been extremely difficult. I miss hearing your voice and laughter. I miss all our long talks about the Steelers...how they would drive us bonkers with each game... I promised you I would get your name up on the Heinz Field Score board for you Birthday... And I got it up there for you!!! Tracy and I went to the game, with Dave, on your...

Ma McLeane,
I'm sorry I didn't come to your viewing. I can't do them yet. I'm sure Danell is showing you the ropes up there and I bet you 2 are having a blast! I'll miss you till we meet again. Love you! Thanks for being such a big part of my life!

To Ed, Mike, Keith, Donna, and Tracy,
Sorry guys for your loss and not getting there for you. Please remember all of the good times and keep them in your hearts, it helps a lot. I know what you are feeling and going through so don't...

Mom.. missing you terribly and loving you eternally.
