Happy Anniversary Mom. I love you and miss you so very much

Another Christmas upon us Mom. You are gone too long. I have 8 grandchildren and I tell them all about you and daddy. Meagan made your Russian Teacakes and Klotckes. In case you didn't hear it enough, I am happy to have been your daughter. I hope to keep making you proud. I love you. Carol Ann

Hey Grandma, just here thinking that it has been a little over a year now since you joined Grandpa in Heaven. Going thru some trying stuff here, but you already know that. Just give the added strength to make it thru these tough times and to do the best for Isa and Livi. Isa loves that red sweateryou got her last year and still wears it even though its a little bit too small now. I know that God never gives us more than He knows we can handle, so I am REALLY trying to have faith in Him...

Hi Mom. I wanted to come here to tell you about Dave and Kari. If you were still here on earth you would be having another great-grandchild. They are due the middle of January. We are so happy Mom and I know you and Daddy are too. To you a baby was a true gift from God. Ask Jesus and His Mother to bless this new baby and keep it healthy. I miss you so much Mom and Daddy too. I feel your love and hopefully I will feel the peace that you chose to have. I love you. Carol Ann

I thought I could go all day and not come here to talk to you. I talk to you all the time. Today I turn 58 and this is the first year in my life that I won't receive a birthday card or phone call from you. There is still such a hole in my life without you here Mom. I love you and miss you terribly. I am planting the wild flowers that Paulette gave us for Mother's Day. I hope they keep coming back year after year because they are going into the living garden planted for you. I love you and...

Hi Mom. I am sitting here in your room watching the Cubs beating the Sox. It's a 9 to 2 game but then you already know this. I wish you could let me know if the Cubs are in the playoffs this year. I think of you so much Mom. I miss you and I am trying to be happy for you. I know you are no longer sick and that you are with Daddy but I do miss you and I am so glad my family loved you because they listen to me so often talk about you and let me cry when I miss you even more. Give Daddy a hug...

Mom, I love you. You were always so fun to have around. From the times when you woke up earlier and you just had coffee with me and we talked, to the times when you slept later and I didn't see you until I got home from work. I always enjoyed talking with you, from what I did that day at work, to how you were that day and how the dogs made you laugh; from jokes and laughing to remembrances and stories of things past. It was always fun ( and an honor for me )to talk to you. I'll always...

Happy Birthday Mom. I close my eyes and see you so vividly. I dream of you and what you look like in Heaven. In my mind, today on your birhday, you are standing next to Daddy and you are wearing your red coat with the white fur collar. You are smiling and you look so very happy. Have a wonderful day with Daddy and your parents and Dad's family. You deserve everything good in life. We will celebrate your day with a glass of wine and a toast to you. I love you Mom and miss you so much!

Mom, a very very Happy Birthday to you today. Enjoy spending this birthday with your parents, dad, and all the people you have missed for so long. I love and miss you so very much. Please get all my hugs and kisses Happy Birthday that I have sent up for you. I love you mom and party hardy!!!
