17 years and counting seems like yesterday. I miss our late night conversations and your cheery disposition. "What's happening in your young life?" you would start out every time I called. We would talk about everything and nothing at all. You have been missed and it brings a tear to my eye right now wishing you were still here. I miss you so much!!

Dear Mom,
It is almost Christmas and I sure do miss you, Sometimes I would just like to call and talk to you, hear you say, one more time, 'Hi Honey!' in that cheery voice. Now that Kenny is gone too, it is very lonely around here. I love you Mom, and I miss you. Sharon

Dear Grandma,
Things are not so good in the last month or so. I know you must be looking down on the whole situation. You always seemed to handle bad news matter of factly. I guess I need to learn how to do that. Kenny is very sick and his prognosis is not good. I guess our families good luck with health and happiness has run out. I miss you and wish you could call me up with some of your happy cheer. I love you.

Dear Grandma,
It seems funny to think that you were the only reason for us to have a connection to the other relatives. Now that you are gone, there is so little contact and interaction with anyone else. I call Grandpa about once a week. He seems much more talkative now, that's a good thing. But I know he is lonely and it is clear that you were his main source of entertainment. It seems that indirectly, you were the glue that brought the families together. Now that you are gone,...

Grandma, now is just about when I would be calling you to see how your day went and what your plans are for the week. I know you would be watching M.A.S.H. or trying to find a JAG rerun. As usual, you would say, "what are you up to in your beautiful young life today?" and you would tell me what Grandpa made for dinner and that of course it was delicious, as always. I miss our little chats and late night talks with you. I think of you every day and little things that you left me in my...

Grandma, I can't tell you how many times I wanted to call you after Grandpa went to bed this last year. I think about you and all the talks we shared at midnight, when everyone else was asleep. It hardly seems like you have been gone a year now. It seems like only a few days ago you were your perky self, chipper and ready for anything. You brought optimism and hope that life was not as bad as it sometimes seems. I miss you so much. You can never be replaced. You stood behind me and...

Dear Grandma,
A fraction of time has passed since you went away physically. There are times when I would like to call you and just chat like we used to. Other times, I try to do something to distract me from missing you so much. I am sad that Ryan will not have the opportunity to feel your love, your hugs and your kisses. I think of you everyday and wish we could have more time together. I love you.

Grandma, I could never have realized how much I would miss you and your companionship. You were my greatest supporter in good times and bad. You kept me going in times I wanted to run away. You gave me reasons to make myself a better person. You give me hope that Ryan will know the kind of love you gave to me my whole life. I miss you and hope that when you look down from heaven you can be proud of your Grand daughter and Great Grandson. We love you so much. I wish you were here. Love,...

Only two short months ago you left this world. Time cannot ever take away what you mean to me. If there is a heaven I know you are there. No one could have been a better role model as a person much less a Grandmother. You epitomize every aspect of unconditional love. For all the disapointments and frustration I caused you, I always felt love and encouragement. You made me want to be a better person. I love you higher than the sky, deeper than the ocean. I miss you.
