Happy Birthday sugar plum!!! and YES the sun is shining.

Kathy,
Oh wow!!! What a mom you were to all of us. You stayed up and talked to us about right and wrong. Sometimes we listened and sometimes we didn't, but I enjoyed those talks with you. I loved drinking Boost and smoking cigarettes. I always looked forward to coming to your house to see what special things you had to say about Brad. (That's a joke...)
We miss you greatly, so sorry to not have you here anymore, but we all know you are in a much better place. I will always love you...

when mom- mom passed away i found a beautiful poem i'd never seen before but new she would love it since she loved everything "native american" to the point of telling friends when she was younger she was part native american and her "indian" name was hoola hany ha ha that is another story....anyways turned out mom knew & loved the poem. It gave her lots of comfort then and now it is doing the same for me...this is it. I give you this one thought to keep- I am with you still- I do not...

Oh sweet girl...I am sad. But I am laughing at who we were and who we became (together and apart it was always the same wasn't it!)
Where to start? Neighbors, Davisville, Lafayette, Wickford and Wakefield! I was the youngest you were the oldest. I envied you those SISTERS! Tag along Kelly with the loooong legs, Sweet ethereal Jamie black Irish?), Baby ERIN! Freckles and looong hair (she got Kelly's hair). Girl Scouts, cold spring beach, Wickford Elementary, we got married in the Herman's...

Dear Joy,
I'm thinking about you and want you to know that I love you and that I'm praying peace for you.
May your mourning be short but oh so sweet and may you believe that tears can heal, memories can comfort, and love lives on FOREVER.....
Your mom was one funny lady!
I'm so glad I was able to have such a nice talk with her in those last months, she thought I was crazy for having another baby and wasn't afraid to tell me!lol

Kathy, we miss you and look...

To my dear friend Joy and family: I just wanted to let you know I am here always. I am praying for peace for you everyday. I will miss your mom dearly too. She was a loving and caring person whom I will always remember.I can still see her making silly faces at us growing up.Well I will talk to ya soon. I love you all!
