Dear Mom, Each year that passes somehow brings you closer to me... There are 1000 things I'd like to talk with you about, (and do)... But I sure do miss the sound of your voice on the phone asking, "Okay, Brookie... So, what's going on?" I love you, Mom, and continue to hold you in heart and mind-- always. Brooke

Miss you, Grandma, and wish you were here to meet your new (great) grandson, he would love you as much as I do! I know you are watching over us.

I remember picking apples with "your boys" from the Bennett House. I don't think you encouraged them to throw apples at Brooke and me, but I do think you enjoyed it. I know they did. Still makes me smile when I think of your extraordinary vision at BARSS Residential. Thanks for all you did. Susan

Dear Mom,
I have been missing you so much. It's impossible to believe that we lost you more than a year ago. I'd give anything to talk with you even just once more. (There are so many things I've thought of over the last year I'd like to ask you now.) But it's comforting just keeping you in mind.
I decided to keep this guestbook alive "forever" because of this persistent image: It's Sunday morning, you're watching all the news programs on TV while every Sunday paper you can find is...
