I miss you, when I hear the phone ring and it is not you.



I miss you, when I need my best friend to talk to.



I miss you, when I need help with a problem and I have no one to turn to.



I miss you, how you would always ask me how I am doing, and to hang in there.



I miss you, how you were always optomistic about my life and told me to never give up.



I miss you, when I close my eyes and see your smile.



I miss you, when we use to talk for hours about our common interest, your fight to live.



I miss you, In so many ways. I hope you knew how much I depended on you and how lost I feel



But I promise, you will never be forgotten.



I love you

Everyday I look at your picture as it hangs on the refrigerator. It still isn't real to me that you are no longer here. But when I'm fast asleep and dreaming your face always seems to appear somewhere in the background. For some reason, no one else seems to be able to see you but me. We sit there and we talk. And you make sure that I let the family, especially Uncle Ralph and Aunt Mickey know that you are OK, and that you are there with them in their hearts. After our conversations you always say "It's not goodbye, it's see ya soon" and you make sure that I'm aware that this is the time for you, Grandmom, and Grandpop to catch up all the years that passed.



So for those who read this, especially Uncle Ralph, Aunt Mickey, Aunt Jane, Uncle Pat, and to my dad your wife and sister is finally "home".



I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! And I'll ALWAYS miss you. <3 The kitchen will NEVER be the same without your smile nor your laugh.

Aunt Kathy God should not have taken you, for you were my favorite.Also you did something special you stopped me from sucking my finger and for that I will always remember you.



Aunt Kathy a couple reasons why God took you.He knew you were suffering and in pain he also knew you Aunt Kathy would probably not get well on Earth again.

To my best Friend,



Seldom do life’s Journeys bring together two people who become great friends. Ours paths have crossed, and I thank God for knowing you and having the chance to call you my best friend. You changed my life like few people have, and you taught me so much. Your strength, your courage, your faith, your beauty, and your friendship will always be close to my heart.



Kathy, Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but in the moments that make you breathless……….. And you take my breath away.



I will miss you more then I can say, and I love you.
