Thanks for showing all of us what it means to grab life by the horns and live to the fullest. We all carry you with us every day on our journeys. I am forever grateful that you are my grandma.

Love,
Brooke

Missing you like crazy, Mom

Hi Pat. I know you're there, waiting for me and keeping track of me until I arrive. Happy birthday to my older sister.

Sept 25 is Mom's birthday and I wish she was here to celebrate it. I miss her so much and think of her everyday. She has not altogether left us. She is still with us in memories, so that wherever we are, no matter what time of day is is or how we are feeling, she is here, still shining the light of her love upon us. Happy Birthday, Mom!

Whether I like it or not, the first year has passed. One whole year without my mom who filled my heart up with love. My grief still feels fresh and painful. Your influence still guides me and I still feel you near. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday. Dad and I enjoy looking at the trip pictures and seeing your smiling face. We will be planting the zinnias soon on the back patio so we can remember you and your love for flowers. In a few weeks, Kelly and Amanda will be getting married,...

A year has passed since that terrible day we lost you. I have been reflecting a lot recently and realize that so much of my life involves things you taught me, either directly or indirectly.
Just last week, I bought a pair of gold shoes. Yesterday, Mark and I went to a baseball game. It is an activity I love, and I got that from you and Dad.
The other day, I made some clam dip - a recipe from you. I love classic movies and I can't wait for my visit with Dad, so we can curl up together...

Missing you a lot today, grandma. It's been almost a year but today I'm thinking about how you made me laugh and feel loved. I was so fortunate to have such a beautiful, funny, caring, and wise grandmother. I miss you so much. I love you.

Hi, big sister. I just wanted to remind you that you're still my OLD sis - by three and a half years. I know you are keeping tabs on things now, just as you always did when you were here, so we can't get away with stuff. I'll be joining you some day, knowing you will have my agenda already lined up for me, just as you always did - no sense arguing about it. Just don't counting on our next reunion coming very soon. Until then, know that we love you.
your little brother, Jim

Happy birthday, mom! It's hard to believe it's been 5 months since she passed away. Every day I remember different parts of growing up with her. A few weeks ago Brooke made ooey gooey butter cake, and Amanda reminded me of a visit to Colorado Springs to see her. Lots of memories of good times with family and good food!
