Watching the Olympics reminds me of you. Trish and I watched Nathan Chen together via text. I always watched with you and once again, she was there for me. I've cried so much this month. Going you are so much happier with dad being with you. Tell dad I'm still watching curling. Love you

Missing you today and the great mother you were. I so wish that you could meet Jeremy's children. One has your middle name as hers. They are living with me so you would see them often. I know that you would call every day we didnt visit, lol.

Hi Sis, Well today is March 1,2005 which means we all got thru February with all that means. Maybe its the disatnace, but from time to time I think about telling you something only to remember that you are not a phone call away. There are so many things that trigger memories of our times together.
I love this guest book because it brings all of us who love an opportunity to share our thoughts with you and each other.
I love you and think of you often

Today is a special day so of course I am thinking of you and missing you very much. When I am happy or sad, I always want to call you to share. It is still a reflex and I wonder when that will end. Hoping you are smiling today!

I just couldn't get on here yesterday. I wanted to...I was thinking of you...but I couldn't do it. I KNEW Trish would. I still remember how strong she was last year and how she brought me to tears as she walked you to your destination. I got myself in a funk at the beginning of the month and couldn't shake it. I was actually refusing to be happy about anything. But, I signed on here and read Trish's entry and now...I am gonna kick my own butt and get my act together. Thank you for sending me someone to support me through this. I bought Lexi a valentine and I will honor you by putting a dollar in it. I miss you terribly mom.

It's hard to believe a year ago, I was holding your hand, stroking your face and telling you bye. We sure miss you mom, you had a way of getting to all of our hearts, by the sweet things you did for others. We also miss and we can still hear often you telling one of us to knock our ____ off. We now use that phrase when needed, in honor of you, cuz we know you would want us too...but only when needed ofcourse. It's 12:20pm the same time I was telling you bye a year ago. You are so missed and so loved, we think of you daily, and I've thought about you a lot lately, I finally did what you wanted me to do for years. I got a new car, you would be so proud of it. My first new car, I know you wanted me to have one for a long time. I can feel you smiling down on me. I'm gonna spend the day with two of your grandsons, I'll hug them for you cuz I know you would want to, I'll even pop them upside the head cuz you know I'd like to do that..I love you and miss you VERY much.

Well hello there. I can not believe that a year has gone by since you left us. My heart is still breaking. Time does heal all wounds, it is true but the void in my life will never be filled. You have been a true inspiration to me and I just wanted to say once again, that I miss you so much! Happy Birthday. I don't know if that's proper to say, but I'm saying it anyway. I'm sure this weekend is going to be a rough one, with it being your 1st anniversary and all, a lot of tears will be shed, but remember that it's all because we love you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. As we look around us we are reminded of you and the love that you showed everyone. Your legacy will live forever!!!

Phyllis, Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas up there with Jesus this year. We really truly missed you. Christmas will never be the same again. We all know that. But you would be very proud of your family, they were all very strong and somehow managed to make it through. There are so many memories of you in my holiday decorations, it's nice to sit back and get warm with thoughts of you and all the good times we had. Knowing that you are watching over us makes things a bit easier. Just wanted to let you know that I love you and miss you terribly.

It looks as if I am not the only person that was thinking of you at the wedding! I was so happy that Lynn and Mike choose to include you in the ceremony and that Dad choose to include you in his toast. I hope you have met Dave's dad and that the two of you are smiling down on us. I would love to share all of this with you, but I want you to know that Denise has been there for me. I miss you and not a day goes by that I don't think of you at least once.

Just wanted to let you know that your presence was truly missed as Mike and Lynn got married this past Friday. The service was beautiful. You would have been extremely proud of Michael and glad that Lynn finally became an official member of our family. The day started out kind of blustry, but we know you were smiling down on us because as we left the chapel, the day turned beautiful. It was you love coming through and warming things down here for us.
The holidays are right around the corner, and I know they are going to be extremely rough this year. There are just so many memories of you in my decorations. I promised you that I would try very hard to keep your family happy this Christmas and I plan to follow through with this promise. I am trying to be strong for them but it is hard, as I miss you terribly. As I sit here and cry once again, I will not do it in front of your kids. They have enough to worry about. I love you and I miss you so much! Just wanted to let you know that you were on my mind again today.

It was 6 months ago your pain ended and our hearts were broken. Time is a great healer. But the void still remains. I miss you dearly, but I rest easy knowing you are with Grandma & Grandpa Fishbeck, Aunt Barbara & your mom and dad-who missed you as well. I love you mom

well mom, mothers day has passed and we got through it. I wasnt sure if I would. I thought if I just tried not to think about it, then it wouldnt be so bad. How silly of me to think I would be able to go one day without thinking about you. You are always there. I think the hardest part of this weekend was when david, sitting at the diner table, told us that he won't be able to make cookies anymore because his grandma is gone. Even a four year old felt the loss Mothers Day weekend. Many people have told me that next year will be easier. I don't think I believe that because I still miss mom as much today as I did three months ago. I hope you know how much you are loved by so many people!
Happy Mother's Day From Your Loving Children

Mother's day is just around the corner. Perhaps, that is why I am feeling so melancoly. Also, I watched a movie today, and just kept thinking how much you would have loved it. There is so much that I want to talk to you about. I just don't feel complete anymore, and I don't know how to fill the void. I wish I would have told you how much I loved you more often. I wish I could live up to your legacy. I wish I could be as giving as you were. I just wish you were here. I love you and miss you. Happy Mother's Day!

I miss you mom, especially around the holidays. You always made Easter special for us, I remember all of the Easter baskets, Easter gifts, always there when we woke up Easter morning. As we grew up and moved away, you still remembered us sending us things and cards, I loved the ones with dogs and bunny ears. They always made me smile. I also remember hiding eggs, and you not getting to mad when someone sat on one cuz we hid it under a couch cushion. I think now of how many times you called me Patricia Marie, I still hear it. Especially all of those times I locked Fred, Cheryle's cat in the newspaper table. I also still remember the first time you heard me say I was pissed off, I still see the surprised look on your face, and you couldnt get mad you were laffing too hard. When I miss you most I look at our pictures together when I was younger, and look around my house full of the things you made and gave me from your heart, made with love, towels, photo albums, blankets, Stu right now is wrapped up in his harley blanket. I love you mom and I miss you so much.

Phyllis was a kind and caring person. I owe a lot to Phyllis. Phyllis helped me get my job at the Chicago Tribune nearly 23 yrs. ago. For everything that I have, I have to thank Phyllis. Back when the girls were home , I would spend more time at Phyllis' and Jerry's than at home. Phyllis and Jerry took me to my first baseball game. Of course it was for the Sox but I didn't hold it against her. ; )
Thanks for everything. Be at peace.

My dear sister, I miss you so much. Although we lived 2000 miles away and might go months without talking, I always knew you were there.
You were there for me when I was a child. With mom working, you were blessed (or cursed) with raising me. I remember all of our bus rides downtown, the TV station you took me to every year so I could be on the Smoky Rogers Birthday party,which was televised,live!I remember how special I felt when you took me to school with you, I remember how proud I was of you when you were named Queen of the Month at the USO and had that beautiful picture done that was printed in the newspaper. I remember the day you flew back to Chicago to live forever. I was excited about having my own room, and cried all night because you were gone and I missed you so. Thank you for being a wondeful and caring sister. I love you. You will always be in my heart.

I can't believe that you are gone. You are by far the most loving, most giving, most thoughtful person I have ever met in my life. Everytime I look at the towels, or wrap myself in one of your blankets I will think of how lucky I was to have been a part of your life. You have enriched my life in so many ways just from the things you've taught me, the things you've shown me. You have left a legacy that will never be filled. I am going to miss you terribly. I Love You !!!
