Leona "Lee" Baker

LEE,
Sometimes I sit and wonder,
About so many things.
Like why God had to take you,
And give you angel wings.

We'll never know the answer,
So there’s only one thing we can do.
We'll hold on to the memories,
And keep on loving you.

We know you’re up there somewhere
Living a brand new life
But oh Lee how I wish,
That you were still here with us.

I can't believe that a year has past. Sometimes it seems like an eternity and others it seems...

Good Morning Mom,
Well, It has been one year since we lost you. What a year, one I would rather forget for the most part. I sometimes don't understand the meaning of all that happens in life. First we lose you, the foundation of our family, then all that stuff in the middle,(you know) and now Dad. Why? I just don't understand why things like this keep happening. One Year ago today, I woke up early like always, but I had a happy feeling in my heart. You were coming home. Now one...

Hi Lee...I know the girls are busy helping their Dad get well...My prayers for them always...Today marks the first anniversary of my mom's passing..Like your girls are missing you...we too are missing our mom....Prayers for both of you to rest in peace..I know you are watching over your girls and their families...Just wanted to check in and send our love....

Love
Rosanne & Kathy

Hi Lee....Prayers for you today sitting here thinking of all that happened last year to all of us...I know you are watching all that is happening these past weeks..Prayers for your husband to get well and prayers for the girls...They need you there...as you've been...at the hospital ....to watch over things when they must leave to tend their families...Give Steph & Pam the strength and courage to make it through these days..They miss you so much and love you more...

Rest in peace sweet...

Hi Mom,
Jillian wanted to send you a message on her own. She misses you and loves you everyday. We've been thinking about you more than ever. I dream about you all the time. The fourth of July was not the same without you. We just hung around the house and spend the day together, me and Jillian. The weather has been very weird lately. Lots and lots of rain and storms. Jillian doesn't like the thunder, but we tell her that it's you bowling and...

Leona's beauty, (both: inner and outer) shines through in both her daughter, Pam and her grand-daughter, Jillian:so-- Leona lives on.
I love the words of William Wordsworth: "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass or glory in the flower; we will grieve not-rather find strength in what remains behind."
Strength is part of that inner beauty which Pam will always draw upon. God bless .

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Hi Mom,

It's been a few weeks since I was last in here.Tomorrow will be seven months since we lost you. It's seems like seven years. I can't believe we've gone on this long without you here. So much has been going on. Jillian's fourth birthday party is next Sunday and I know you'll be there in spirit. It's seems so weird not having you at each event that we have. I think about you all the time and miss you more and more everyday. I had a dream about Uncle Murph last night, so I decided...

Hi Mom,

HAPPY BELATED "MOTHER'S DAY"!! I wrote in your legacy mother's day night and for some strange reason as I ended the letter, my computer went blank and logged itself off. I'm assuming it was a sign from you telling me to stop crying and get off the computer. Mother's Day was very very difficult this year. Just knowing you were with us last year at this time. Stef and I hung out together that day, we spent the day doing what we thought you would enjoy doing. We went to McCue's...
