Dear Grammie,
It is now Spring, 2009 and I have not written to you in 2 years. I have not forgotten about you in the days past. I think that I told you that we were expecting another Great-great grandchild for you in July, 2007 and we (Jennifer)had a beautiful little girl named Allison Kathryn. In February, 2008 you had another great-great grandchild - a little girl of Michele's (red hair and all) named Kiera Rose and Just this past month on April 24th another great-great grandchild - Rob had a little boy named Alan Jacob. I now have 5 grandchildren - 2 boys and 3 little girls. They will all know well who you are and how much you are loved and missed. I love you and miss you every day and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you. You made us all laugh and smile and you loved us all so much. I miss our little talks but I especially miss our shopping "bumming" trips.
I love and miss you.

Dear Gram,

Once again another Christmas is here and I have to tell you that it sure is not the same without hearing you laugh or seeing your wonderful smile. I miss you very much and so do Megan and Melissa. They have gotten so big, you'd really enjoy them and I know they would enjoy every moment with you. Somehow, everything is different as I think back to Saturdays with you and especially Christmas. I miss you grabbing my cheeks until they hurt but we laughed a lot when you did that as well as you laughing at all my silly jokes. You and the memories of all of what truly is good about the holidays is what I'm missing the most.Merry Christmas Gram, you're always in my heart and on my mind, each and every day. Love You & Miss you!

Dearest Mother,

We just visited you yesterday, Kathie, Heather, JR, Peanut and I. Sure was a beautiful day at Woodlawn Cemetery, where you are resting. We want you go know how much you are loved and missed each and every day. We will always remember you and your funny ways. How you could always make us all laugh and how much you loved your family. As the holidays approach we miss you even more.

Your loving daughter,
Andrea

Dear Gram,
Just wanted to write to say I love you and I miss you. Christmas is over and I know that it was one of your favorite times of the year. This year Kyle was 2 1/2 so he was really interested in opening presents. He did not even care what was in them, he just wanted to open them! Well, Jennifer is expecting baby #2 so you will be a great-great grandma again in July. I love you so much and I miss you. Lately little things that you used to door say have been coming back in my thoughts about you. I even find myself saying some of them too!
I love you forever.

Dear Gram,



I was thinking about you last night, just something Jennifer said when I hugged Kyle. I was hugging him and kissing his neck and he just giggled and giggled because it tickled him. Just the same way that my kids laughed when you kissed their necks.



I wanted to write and let you know that Rob and Cara are expecting your 2nd great-great grandchild in the Spring. The baby is due on or around April 14th. I hope it is a girl, but I will love it no matter what.



I wish that you were here to see Kyle and the new baby yet to be. I miss you so much. Just little things we did and said bring thoughts of you.



I love you very much and I miss you every day.



Love always,

Pam

Grammie,



I wanted you to know that you are still deeply missed! I was watching my son Kyle as I was leaving the house the other day and he was standing in the window waving good-bye and blowing me kisses! It reminded me of all the times we brought you home and waited for you to get inside and you would wave and blow kisses to us as we drove off!! I see you in him and it makes me smile!



You have instilled so much in me and I hope to pass it along to him as he grows up! He's learning to color and I am trying to teach him how to stay inside the lines by coloring in circles, the same way you taught me!!



I wish you were still with us so you could teach him all of the things you taught me growing up! Like how to make the best oatmeal ever, with the perfect amount of milk, butter, and sugar!! I miss you so much! Until we meet again, I love you!



Love,

Jennifer

Hi Gram,



I want you to know that I miss you and love you very much. I want to wish you a belated birthday in heaven. I hope that you have found Daddy and Uncle Ken in heaven and that the three of you together are watching over us.



I wanted to tell you that Robbie got married on May 29th. It was a beautiful wedding and I missed you very much. He is your first great- grandchild and the last of my 3 kids to marry. It was a pretty day and a lovely ceremony.



Kyle is going to be one year old this month. Funny, huh, he is you first great-great grandchild from one of my kids (Jennifer). My, how time flies. We had all better cherish each other and our time together for we do not know what tomorrow brings.



I love you so very much and I miss your smiling face and your huge heart. Take care and I will come visit here again soon.



I love you,

Pam

Grammie,

I really wish I had the words to describe how I feel, that is why it took so long to write. I love you so much. You were always there for me to talk to, even about the littlest things. I will forever cherish our memories together, most of all our Christmas Eves together. You will always have a place in my heart. I love you and I always will. Please give hugs to everyone for me. This is not goodbye...just I will see you later. Keep on waving from your window.



Love,

Michele
