Not sure what to say?

Mom: You are gone but not forgotten, you will always be loved by all that knew you. You touched so many people, and were a big part of everyones life. Not a minute goes by that I don't think about you and miss you every second. I will always cherish all the memories that we made together, and miss the ones that we didn't have time to make. You will always have a piece of my heart. I love and miss you so much mom, your laugh and smile is always in my mind and in my heart. I wish I could hear...

Mom: I still can't believe that you are gone, I miss you so much that at times I can't catch my breath. The pain of losing you is so fresh in my heart and in my mind. They say that it will get easier, but I don't see how, I not only lost you Mom but I lost my best friend. I know you are watching me from above and you stand beside me all the time, I just wish we had more time together. There is so many things that we didn't get to do, but I know when things come my way you will guide me...

Dad: We know your heart and life seem empty without mom, but don't worry we are all here to get you through. Mom knew how much you loved her and still do, but she was more worried about you and the family then herself. We made a promise to mom that we would watch over you and take care of you and we all will. Dad hold on to all the memories with mom until we all meet her again. Those memories and love never go away. We all love you Dad.

Love Always and forever,

Mom: I Love and Miss you each and everyday. I know you are watching over me and you are always in my heart. But the pain of losing you is so hard to bare sometimes. You gave me so many good memories and I will hold them in my heart forever. I Love and Miss you always Mom.

Love Always and forever,

Jayne

To My Mom:
I really didn't think this was going to happen so soon, but God needed another angel in heaven. The last few months were so very hard on you, but you fought so hard to have more time with your family. You are the strongest women I've ever known and I wish I could have some of that strength. Since you left us my heart is part empty, but my love for you is never never ending. My life is changing, but I know you will be right beside me to show me the way. I still can hear your...

To the entire Ricker Family,
I had the pleasure of getting to know Donna as i was one of her aides while she was in the hospital. What a great woman! I grew fond of her, i will greatly miss her!

Roy and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I have very
fond memories of all of you down at the river and at your cabin. I had a fantastic summer with all of you (summer of 1969) where I learned to water ski and how to handle the little row boat. All of you have a special place in my heart.

Gram,

RaeAnn and I miss you immensely. Everyone is doing well. We celebrated like only we know how on Saturday. I hope you got all the balloons we left go for you. I am glad that you are safe and you are no longer in any pain. We know you are smiling down on us and we appreciate all that you have done for us. We will be celebrating you and Ellie every year at Memorial Lake. I miss our 9 pm phone calls. Please take care and I love you.

Uncle Roy, Jayne and family. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one so close to you. I am told that it will get easier, but the memories will always be there. They are good memories. The times on the river, camping, at the house either playing cards or painting ceramics together Aunt Donna will be remembered. Thought I was the in-law (or out-law as some would say) of the family, Aunt Donna was the welcoming force into the family. Always with the out stretched arms for a welcoming hug and...
