Gloria N. Madden

Dear Children, relatives and other friends of Gloria,
I just now heard about Gloria's passing. I have been ill myself and only now have been able to try to reach out to my friends. May God always keep her close. She was a real character that I was proud to call her friend. We worked together and played bingo together as well. God rest her soul. With love, Rae Thompson

Today was a difficult day for your children with it being your first year anniversary of the day God took you from us. It started out very somber. We decided to spread your ashes today and we went to the lake that we grew up on knowing that was the place you were the happiest. It gave us great comfort afterwards. It was windy today which I was glad for. It made it easier for your ashes to stay and blow in the air. We gathered again tonight with the entire family (children and grandchildren)...

Today I did something that I have wanted and needed to do for a very long time. I know that you were with me when I did it because I felt your presence and I recieved a sign that was very unexpected. I felt a scense of relief and for the first time in a year my heart opened in a way I cannot explain. As your anniversary date approaches in a few days we will not have this rememberence site to go to anymore to express our thoughts but I now feel like I can move on and finally hold you close to...

We are all remembering our lives with you one year ago, keeping watch over you, taking care of you, wishing we could all take your pain away from you.
As the year moved on, I still wish to pick up the phone and talk to you, I even wish you were here telling me I was having a bad hair day or my clothes didn't match!
Not a day goes by that you are not missed by me and others.
always,
Jodi

Dear Mom....
As your first year anniversary date approaches, my thoughts of you are begining to consume me once again. I remember where our family was at this time last year and how we all ached for what we were about to experience in losing you. God took you from us because he no longer wanted you to be in pain, but little did I know that my pain would live on inside me for so long. I remember when Dad was taken from us, I never thought my pain would go away but long after, his memories...

Dear Mom
As these days go by, it is so lonely without you. I miss you more and more every day. My life has not been the same since you were taken from us. Every time I look at your pictures the void gets bigger. As your anniversary date approaches, I am reminded of what we went through that cold and lonely day and my heart aches. I miss you more than I ever imagined. I know that someday we will be together again but until that day comes... your memory will live on very strong inside of...

Dear Mom
I can't believe you have been gone from us 9 months. I miss you so much. I keep finding myself in situations where I remember you saying certain things to me and I now know how right you were. I think of you so often and I ache inside for you. There are so many things I want to tell you. I often talk to you and I know you are around me, sometimes I feel your presence. I remember one day not to long ago I was laying in bed and I smelt your Jean-Nate' so very strongly, I know in...
