What a wonderful lady. You are surely missed and thought of constantly. You and your Love take care of each other, and watch over your family as you always have and we will all meet again.

Two long months have went by without you to call and tell you that I love you...Each day seems like years...Going to your home seems so empty to me...and my heart is broken without you and dad in my life... Give Dad a hugg for me and until we meet again...I thank God everyday for such great parents....Memories get me thru and I miss you both so much...Wait for me on the other side of the moon with open arms my dear mother...and we all will be in eternity together...forever.
All my love...

Dear Mom, almost a month, how can it be? We had so many plans, so much shopping to do, so many hours to sit on the deck. You and Dad wait for me on the other side of the moon, I love and miss you both so much. I was so lucky to have you for parents, I will forever be grateful. All My Love, Janie

Life began with waking up and loving my Mother's face. Thank you for today Mom....I LOVE YOU.

They finally met, on the other side of the moon and what a happy reunion it was. Maria and I worked many years together and the laughter and fun we had I will never forget. She truly was a lady in every sense of the word and I dearly loved her. She now, is in the realms of Glory where she no doubt is having a chat with my mother and father. All of my sympathy and love go out to the entire family, yesterday, today and always!

Mom,
Words cannot describe the loss that I feel, the only comfort I get is in knowing that you are safe with Dad and with him. I do find comfort in this poem, it was sent to me when John died and then I gave it to Dad when he was sick and you hung it on your mirror. It brings me comfort.

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All...
