Now nine years without you and still not any easier. It's been a strange year but things are still moving along. Family is what keeps me going and spending time with Madilynn has done wonders for me! I hope you are doing the best you've ever been and I miss you so much.
Give Grandpa a kiss and hug from all of us.
I love you...

Eight years ago today I lost you and I miss you as much as ever! It's especially hard this year because Cassie lost her grandma last month so I'm thinking about you and missing you even more. I love you and we'll be together soon again.

7 years now and still think about you and miss you every single day. Things have changed this year and it looks like I'll be seeing you even sooner than I thought! Hope you and grandpa are enjoying your time together and we love you two so much! I forgot to mention a while back you now also have a great great granddaughter Madilynn Fale who was born to Maryssa on June 26, 2018 whom I will be sharing the great memories of you with over time!
Love you so much Grandma....

4 years ago I had the saddest day of my life so far but I continue on, knowing that with each day passing I am one day closer to seeing you again. It was nice coming home to visit you two months ago and I will try to make it more often. I hope all is well with you and grandpa.

I love you and miss you both!

Happy Birthday Grandma! This is our first birthday without you and it has been very difficult not being able to call you and wish you a happy birthday. Even though a month has now passed since you left us, the sadness has not. I hope you are enjoying your special day and know that we are all thinking of you. Give grandpa a hug and kiss from us!
We love you and miss you...

Grandma,

You have brought happiness to every year of my life. Through all the ups and downs that life has dealt, I could always look forward to my Wisconsin vacations, coming (home) to see your warm, smiling face. I will always cherish the wonderful times we spent together and life will never be the same without you. Now you enjoy time again with grandpa and you will never be lonely as we will all be together again soon. I love you and will miss you dearly until then...

I am so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Minnie for many years, probably since my father, John Felsinger, died. Minnie will be in my prayers.
