Mom,
I want to thank you for my values and determination in my life, also for always being there when I needed you. You were the strongest woman I ever knew. I hope I can be half as strong as you were. Mom, it is an honor to be able to paint your house for you. I'm painting it blue, your favorite color. I miss hearing you laugh and I miss hearing you yell at me. My life has changed since you passed away. I miss you so much my heart is broken into pieces. I miss seeing your face and...

Mom,
You were the light of my life. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss you. Living with you these last four years was wonderful. Even when you got sick we had a lot of fun because of your great sense of humor. I really enjoyed taking care of you during that time because I was able to give something back to you after all you did for me over the years. I am truly lost without you, but I will be alright because I am strong like you and we have such a wonderful family. You were...

Dear Diane and Family,
I am sorry to hear about your mom. I have many fond memories of her. Take care.

Grammy, I miss you so much and I still can't believe you're gone. I think about you everyday. You were such wonderful person, were always there anytime anyone needed anything, and you always knew how to make us laugh. I know you're now watching over all of us and will help us to make the right choices in life. You were always an angel in our hearts and we were all so blessed to have you as long as we did. I love you and miss you so much. Love your grandaughter April<3

To my adopted family,
The first time I met Helen was at an Avon get-together. She was the life of the party then and has continued to be the life of the Dotterer family. When surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she was at her happiest. The love of her family, and even ex-members of the family, truly impressed me at her viewing. Helen, thank you for sharing your family with mine and your kindness. I will be forever grateful for your acceptance and for...

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss, but know now that she is not suffering anymore. Tell her to look up my Dad, and see if she rememebers him from Clay. St. Call me "sister". We'll do lunch. Diane

Grammy, You were a remarkable woman. I can't imagine our lives without you. I look forward to the day when we will see each other again, but until then my heart will be missing you. I can't put into words how much I loved you.You will always be in my heart. I thank GOD that he left us have you for this long. I know i'm selfish but to me it wasn't long enough. I LOVE YOU

Helen was loved by many and will be greatly missed. The greatest gift a child can give a mother is to stand by her, and all of Helen's children and grandchildren were all there for her. The love and the grace that was bestowed upon her during her illness was remarkable. I am sure she is looking down on them and her pride could keep the sun shining forever. God has truly blessed her and her family with much honor. It is a beautiful thing to witness. You are love!
