Mom,
Everyone tells me that the pain will lessen with time, I just not my and say yeah I know. Why tell them that the pain is so bad that it hurts to take a breath, that I feel so lost and so empty, that I don't think there is enough time left to heal it. I was your first born daughter, you and I took care of our family we always came first with you and Dad. You both raised us to be decent and caring individuals. You and Dad were the best. Not many families can say that, that's...

Dear Sue and my Garceau family,
It is so very difficult to lose a mother who was as special as your mother, (my adopted mother). She had so many wonderful qualities. To mention a few, she was kind, caring, generous, supportive, loving and had a good sense of humor.

They say it is the circle of life and life goes on, but trust me when I say it will never be the same without you and dad. We have beautiful memories that will be forever cherished. And thanks to you and...

Mom,
I just wanted to let you know that you were not only my Mommy, but you were also my Best Friend. I know I have told you this several times. You mean't more to me than life itself. I was devastated when I found out that you had left. You took a piece of my heart with you, but that's okay, because you know how big my heart is. I told you that I wouldn't know what I'd do if you ever left. You said to me that I have to go on. That Bibbitt would take care of me. And that you would still...
