Hi Mom,
9 years, I don´t know where to start, it has been a difficult year in so many ways. I think of you and dad so often for support and for guidance. I know you are watching over us and that brings me peace.
I miss you mom,
Love you, Gretchen

Hi Mom,
Eight years, I don´t know where the time is going but it still seems like yesterday when we said our goodbyes. Maybe that´s because you and dad are in my thoughts everyday, especially yesterday. Last night was a big night for me and I know you were both there celebrating my accomplishment with me. You both are the reason I went back to school and took on the challenge to better myself and improve things for my family. Family is everything. You both worked so hard to do what is best for us and yourselves so I just followed in your footsteps and remembered that there is no perfect time and there are no guarantees of a tomorrow.
I love you Mom and I miss you but thank you for all your support and guidance that I am still using today to make better choices for myself and my family.
Love, Gretchen

Hi Mom, it does not seem like seven years since we said goodbye. I still think of you everyday and ask myself what would Mom think about this. I know you and Dad are watching over us and keeping us safe. I love you both and I know I will be with you again someday.

Hi Mom, I can´t believe it has been 7 years since you have left us. So much has happened in that time. I miss you and Dad everyday and think of you all the time. We share stories and memories all the time. I love you both so much and miss you always. I know you are both together now and not in pain. That gives me peace. I know that you are always with us and watching over us.

Mom,
It has been 4 years since you left and life went on. It is not always easy but I think of you and I know I have support. I just take some time and think of what you would say or how you would just listen and it makes things easier to handle. I still think of you everyday and now I laugh instead of cry, most of the time and just remember what we shared. It is a crazy time right now so I know you are there watching over me and the family.
I love and miss you!

Mom,
One year has passed since you have left us and we will soon be celebrating another Mother's Day without you. I miss you terribly and you are in my thoughts everyday. I cry, I smile and laugh thinking about you. I try to remember how you would want me to live and it gets me through another day. I know you will always be with me to support and love me, because I love you and I will never forget.
Love Always,

The Longenderfer family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart is heavy with the news of Carol's passing. Carol was a bright spot on the days I had the pleasure of her company while I did her nails.

Mom,
I can't believe you are gone, my heart is breaking. I already miss you so much. You have helped Nick and I through difficult times and have always been there whenever I needed you. You and Dad have been my support system, my rock, through all the difficult times. I will try to carry on your example of the kind of mother you have been to all of us with Nick. I will love you forever and will always miss you. I will miss my Saturday morning catch-up calls with you. I know that you are in a better place and pain free which gives me comfort.
I Love you so much!

Dear John and Family,
I am so sorry that Carole is gone. I will keep all of you in my prayers. She is deep in my thoughts these last few days. I can't imagine her not being there with all of you. I am heartbroken and can't imagine how you all feel. She was a very good friend. May she rest in peace.

Mom,
I miss you and I need to talk. We spent hours talking about everything and what am I going to do Saturday mornings around 7 when I would call to give you the weekly update on my life. You were always there for me and I for you. I guess I will just need to find another way to communicate with you so don't worry you will still hear from me.
By the way; Shawn wants to know if Moses is a nice guy?
Love Always,
Gretchen
