Mom,
As we approach Sept 10th, I can't help but think of how much we miss you here with us. And still, I cannot believe it has been almost a year since we lost you. There are so many emotions among all of us right now, with you not here, daddy moving, leaving Squantum, just to name a few... Lots of thoughts went through my mind. You were always so positive, never seemed to dwell on the past, or difficult times. I tell my kids all the time as they ride their bikes or are running..."Look where you're going, not where you've been". I repeated that to myself over and over today. I thought, thats what we have to do here. We need to look where we are going. Look forward to seeing you again some day. Remember all the memories we have now rather than looking back to what we used to have, as much as it hurts us. If you walk, run, bike, looking behind you, you miss what may be in front of you. You live so much in our lives now, I don't want to miss anymore. I love you mom. I miss you. Help us through these next few weeks. We'll all want to be looking back. Guide us forward.

Happy Birthday Ma,
I had a dream of you last night. You were so pretty, happy and full of life. This is exactly how I want to remember you.
I cannot believe that it's been a year since we were all home for your birthday. I only wished we could be together in person today.
You are always, always, with me in spirit.
I love you and I miss you!
Happy Birthday Ma!

Hey Ma,
Just thinking about you over the past few days. Being back in L.A. has kept me really busy, and I feel like I don't get to talk to anyone much anymore. I just learned Sean Fitz died yesterday, and it has me really sad.
I see Tricia Leary posting notes on your site pretty often. She's so nice to keep you in her thoughts.
Well, I really miss you Ma, and I could really use talking to you today. So, I guess I'll just take a walk on the beach when I get out of work and talk to you then.
I miss you so much Ma, it still hurts.
Love you,
Billy

Norma, just thinking of you and mom. The 4th was hard for us and our dad. We took him to the parade, but with a sad heart and tears in our eyes. The 4th was always such a great time on Deerfield st. Billy McCallum was in the parade playing his bag pipes, but the last time we saw him play was at my mom's funeral. We had a very low key cookout with me, Brian and the boys, Eddie and his family and dad. I kept thinking of something Billy wrote to me after my mom passed. He talked of all the neighbors in heaven and said "he for one will be pissed if the parties there are better than here" it gave me a smile and hoped that the Deerfield st. gang was having a great cookout in heaven! I know your birthday is coming soon, my uncle Jack's year anniv. is in another week and my mom will be gone 5 months in a couple of days. So much is happend in the past year that it just doesn't seem possible! Always thinking of you and hoping you and my mom are happy and watching over us. Love you Norma!!

Norma, this has been such a hard day for us as I know it was for your family. Having a mother's day without our wonderful mom's just isn't right. I tried to think of you and my mom being happy and being able to celebrate once again with your own moms. This I know made you both happy. I know you were always so good to my mom and I hope you will continue to watch out for her until we once again see you both in heaven. Love you!

To all of my dear friends, I'm thinking of you all this Easter. Even though the winter has passed and here we are in another season, I know tha pain for you is as great as mine. Your mom and ours were wonderful, loving and so caring. Time will never take away the sadness we all feel, but I'm just starting to feel the emptiness of a first holiday with out my mom as you have had a few. I loved your mom as a second mother and I know you all felt the same with mine. We sure were/are blessed to be such good friends and like an extended family and we owe that to our wonderful parents. I know that our mom's are watching over us and will be in our hearts as we try to celebrate Easter. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and as I pray for my mom, I pray for yours too. I love you all!

Hello to all my dear friends. I am thinking of you all this Christmas. I know it must be so difficult without your mom/wife! She loved you all so much and would want you to celebrate with your families and be happy. That is how Norma was. Always thinking of others. She will always be with you in spirit and in your hearts. Try to think of all the wonderful Christmas' you shared together and share those memories. Hopefully they will make you smile. I love you all and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!

I' so looked forward to your cards. You used to mail me a mass card on every holiday but thats ok I'll be in church tomorrow talking to you in prayer. Dad is in TN with Donna, Louis, Billy and the kids. I'm going to call them tomorrow.

Hello Sheridan Family, I just finished reading your mom's biography. The tears are still streaming down my face! What beautiful words. I truley feel like one of your family, because every wonderful event and holdiay that you mentioned I felt part of. Deerfield sure was a perfect place to grow up and your mom made it such a wonderful place! She always made everything fun and you are right. She ALWAYS welcomed everyone with open arms, Many of the people on Deerfield st. may be gone, but with the second and third generations, the memories will last forever. Continue to share these with each other and they will indeed remain in everyones heart. Thank you for sharing them with me. I miss your mom so much and will continue to pray for her everyday. Love to you all.

Hello ma, I am so sad that you had to leave us. I thought as time moved on that the hurt would go. But, it doesn't, I'm not sure it ever will. It is Sunday morning and the Pats aren't playing til tomorrow night. But the Red Sox won. Ma you would have been proud of them. They were down 3 games to one and came right back to force a game 7. Right around this time of day on Sundays I would call to say hello and talk about the sox or politics. I know that is not possible and I try so hard to work on my hurt. I just wish I could get in the car and visit you at the cemetary but that isn't possible. So for me this is like a visit to the cemetary. It isn't the same without you...but we are trying. There was so much more to say and do and laugh about but time just ran out. You were a trooper mom. I know you were hurting emotionally and physically. We were too but that is ok we were all with you feeling your pain. It seems like yesterday that we both blew out our birthday candles together. I will always remember that........Dad is doing ok. It is an adjustment for him and for us. There isn't a day that goes by I dont' think of you. When I do I smile. Then I cry....I hope you find peace on the other side and tell Barbara, papa, nana's, Betty and the old Gent we said hello and we all love them....

It's still hard for me to believe that your funeral was 5 weeks ago today. It seems like yesterday and 100 years ago, all at the same time. Suzette put it well about the phone. So many times I want to update you on things, but you are not there. Oh how I miss your voice! I cherish the mother's day card that has your voice on it. I watched Will and Jade's wedding video last night. You looked great dancing with Daddy on your anniversary. Little did we know it would be your last dance with him. Full of energy and smiles, as always. At least you are dancing now, talking, smiling and have lots of energy. We wanted to keep you but God had other plans. I hold on to the verse in 1Thess. 4:13,14, "But we do not want you to be uninformed,brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have not hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus." I am looking forward to seeing you then Ma. I love you and miss you so much! Love, Donna

You've left us an awesome memory and wonderful father who has given us so much strength to get through this without you. You will forever be missed! Love you, suzette

Dear Sheridan Family, weeks have past by since your mom, wife passed away. There isn't a day that goes bye that I don't think of her and all of you! We were all family growing up and even though we are all spread out, I still think of you as part of my own family. Your mom was one special lady, always laughing and making others always feel welcome. I never remember seeing her angry, just always smiling. I have so many wonderful memories-her driving us to school in the brown cadillac, the numerous sleepovers, the blizzard of 78 when she and your dad welcomed 3 more entire families into yours for a whole week and a day later had us girls back for a valentine sleep over! The cookouts in the snow and especially when she rescued my stuffed Tweety bird from a snowbank and put him back together better than any surgeon! It is the wonderful memories that will keep you all smiling and know that she is smiling with you all. I love you all and keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I will never forget her and all the love she gave to my family! Love, Tricia(Leary)Bouzan

You will always be in our hearts. We all love and miss you...

To the Sheridan family, Bill & I are so sorry we were not here to pay our respects. I truthfully don't know what to say! I know that there are many heavy hearts from all who knew Norma. She was a very special person and friend who will be missed by many. Norma had such a great way of making people laugh. I will never forget all the good times that we have had at the Sheridan house. So much of mine & Bill's 33 years in Squantum was spent with the Sheridan family. We enjoyed many cookouts, holidays, birthdays, blizzard of 78 and just friends getting together. We will treasure those memories forever. We are thinking of you all during this tough time. Fortunately, your wife/mother raised a very strong and close family which will help in getting you through this significant loss. We will have you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Cathie & Bill
