My friend,it has been along while since I heard your laugh and saw your face. I can't believe it has been 8 years. Guess I have a hard time giving the past up. I think the older I get the more I really miss the time we shared together. Your children and grandchildren have grown so. You would have been very proud of them. They are very special to me. Thanks for always being my friend-Love you Reets

Well Mom, we just layed Granny Pat to rest, which I'm sure you already knew, as you've been her Angel beside her during her short illness. You two are together again - forever - out of pain, and in the arms of our father who will forever take care of you. I will someday see you two again - not too soon - but until then, take care of each other. I love you!

It has been 3 years since you have been gone. Doesn't seem that long to me. I know your mom is now with you. You missed your 60th birthday. I must say I can still hear your laugh and I know you have been around here lately. Your Best Friend, Reets

It is hard to express in words how hard it has been to except your passing.You were my second mom. I will always remember all the fun we had and how I really looked up to you and still do in times of need. When I think of you it takes me back to a time when life was so simple, when Kari and I were just learning how to get into trouble. I think about you often and you are always in my heart. I miss you and know that you are an inspiration in all the lifes you touched. I love ya forever.

Well, two years have passed since you called me and told me in a strong voice "it wasn't good news". I'll never forget that day of sadness and turmoil inside my soul, knowing the ultimate outcome. I find myself thinking of different dates of importance, and remembering back. Upcoming in only a month will be two years since your passing. The sadness and missing you is still horrible on myself and my kids. The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that you are at peace and not in pain. I dearly miss you and know that someday our spirits will laugh together again. All my love,
Kim

Interesting how this year has gone by. I have thought of you more often this past year than I did of years prior. I have been told more and more by people who knew you well, how much I remind them of you. Funny how that happens, we were sisters. It is very true what has been said...if you love someone tell them often, you never know when you won't have that person around. I do think of you often, I do miss you and I do love you. Janine, your sister

Well Mom, here I am writing a note in your guest book. And like Rita, I do talk with you often. I am in the process of making a beautiful scrapbook of your wonderful life. I will get copies to the four of us and a few others. I only wish you could see .... it is beautiful, and I know you would be proud of my work -- maybe you are my hidden inspiration. I miss you so incredibly much that it often hurts. People say in time it gets easier, but I guess my time hasn't come yet. I love you so much and miss you dearly.
Love,
Kim

It's been nearly 4 months and I can't believe I haven't heard your voice. Although I do talk to you alot, and remember your laughing when I didn't want to do anything new. Well bowling is under way and of course I am still doing crappy. Your voice is in my head still telling me what I am doing wrong. Miss you my friend. Love Reets

Going to Kim's house as a kid was one of the most fun times I ever had. We always got to stay up much later than other moms would allow and we would watch scary movies. Later in life I got to know her as a friend as well as a friend's mom. She was funny, light hearted, and very loving. Her great big smile and inocent laugh will be missed.
To the family-God bless. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Thank you all for the entries in my moms guest book. I will, as will all of you, always remember her smile and her laugh. She was a very devoted mother and "Grammy" that will be missed tremendously. Rita, if you read this -- thank you so much for being there for mom. You were the best friend in her life, and it meant a lot to me to have you near in the end. Thank you all. I have enclosed my e-mail address with this entry if anyone would like to e-mail me personally. God be with you mom.
Love and Miss you,
Kim

I have known Sandy since Jr. High, I think I first remember her from bowling and then from being a friend of my good friend and neighbor Carol Smith. Sandy and I would come in and out of each others lives many times over the years since Jr. High. I had the pleasure of working with Sandy at Butte College for a number of years. Over the last couple of years we shared knitting scarves together and Eagles activities. We would see each other often around town and the bowling alley but no matter were she was always smiling and outgoing. She always talked about her children and grandchildern and how proud she was of them. She loved them all so much. Jim was a blessing in her life also and so devoted to her.
I can't believe she is gone. She will so be missed. My heart goes out to Pat and Jim and all the children and grandchildern. I am so sorry for your loss. She is in a better place but no one can ever fill the hole in the hearts of those who loved and cared for her.
I pray Gods healing to all who love her,
