It is hard to believe it has been 10 years already. That is 10 years of not hearing your voice, your laugh, your stories, your strawberry shortcake, your worries and your yelling at dad for something. The memories from those days bring plenty of laughs and fondness. You are missed so much and there continues to be a void in my soul without you and dad. I know you are together and living your new journey to its fullest. I know you and dad hear me when I talk to you and I am grateful for...

Well another year has gone by but the memories never fade. At least now dad is by your side and holding your hand as you continue your heavenly journey. I asked you to come for him if you thought he was ready and you did! Despite my heart being sad and missing you both tremendously, I have peace knowing you are together and all the pain and suffering has stopped. I know you are good and I cherish every dream you enter. Love you both more than you will ever know!

Well, another year gone by without you! For some reason this was a hard year without you and I found myself crying often missing you. I know you are in a good place and no longer dealing with pain and illness. I love the dreams I have of you. They give me comfort and you are always in a party dress with a huge smile on your face. Those dreams bring me peace knowing you are no longer suffering and you are thriving. I love you more than you'll ever know and I miss you everyday!!!!

It has been another year without you and it still doesn't get any easier. So much has happened this year and our family's endurance has been challenged. I know you have been there this whole time making sure we got through every moment. You always were the pillar of support in our family. Every day I feel your presence and you keep me moving forward. Dad has struggled this year but he still talks about you in incredible memories and stories. He misses you so much but he isn't ready yet to...

I cannot believe it has been another year. I think of you every day and my heart still hurts that you are gone. I know you are happy and free with the angels above and that gives me comfort. I miss you mom and all our chats. You are my forever angel and I am blessed by all you have taught me. You would appreciate my memorial tattoo! I love you more than you'll ever know my sweet princess. Love you mom now and forever!

It has been 5 years since my mom left this Earth to join the angels above. I think of her every day and miss her so much. She was my friend, my mom, and a role model. I smile when I think of her and cherish every dream I have of her. I love my mom, my princess. I miss mom and I forever love you. I got dad and he is well taken care of. Love you and thank you for being my mother.

I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful lady in May, and I looked forward to her weekly visits to the clinic so that I can see her and listen to her tell me about her grandchildren who she was so very proud of, her children who she loved so much, and seeing that smile on her face every time she came in was the highlight of my day...I will never forget that smile! Judith told me to always smile because I never know who might need to see a smiling face. She was a beautiful soul and I will...

May your family find the love, strength, and courage needed to cope with the loss of your loved one.
