December 30,2010 Today I was thinking about you and daddy and was still saying it not easy to let you guys go. It was hard at the spaghetti dinner because I get my emotions working up knowing how this was very important for you each year. I wish we could turn the clock back and have you guys and grandpas and grandmas and aunts and uncles with us. I know it not possible but someday we all will be together again. I love you guys and my heart is still heavy with sorrow and pain. Until we meet again enjoy your lives together. Lov Always and Forever April.

Dear Mommy,here it is another year of saddness and happiness that you are now in a better place. The dinner went very well. I know you were looking down upon us with Aunt Carolyn by your side with Grandpa and Grandma and daddy especially. It just not the same anymore without you celebrating this beautiful holiday with all of us. I still question why God took you at a young life. I know there is only one answer is that your work on earth was done in the eyes of the Lord our God. It is now 12:59 am on ythe Christmas morning I know that you are celebrating in heaven with our family and with the angels in the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. Someday we will all be together again I miss you dearly and also all the rest of your children and your only living baby sister. Please watch over and give the strength to carry on with your family values and guide us from evilness. I believe in one God are Father for ever and ever.I say to you and daddy A Very Merry Christmas until we meet some day Love Forever and Forever more April

Dear mommy, today is September 22, 2009. I want to wish you a happy birthday. I wish you could be here with all of us celebrating your birthday. I know that you are in a very good place with daddy and grandpa and grandma and all of our other relatives. I still don't understand why it was you that had to leave us at a young age. But your work on earth was fulfilled. Everyone is doing fine. I know that you are watching over us now. It is 12:24am and it just hard to believe that we cannot see you or hear your voice. Only the memories will always be there. You were the best mom even those we had our differest. Someday we will all be together again. Enjoy your day with daddy and everyone in our family. Once again a very very very happy birthday.Love forever and forever enterity, April

Mom, it has been a long time that I have wrote to you, sorry. Kathy mother-in-law pass away last week and it made me think about you. They say in time things will get better but it really don't. especially when family member or friends died. I know that you are in a better place and that you are with daddy and all our family members but i just want you to know that we all still miss you very much and wish you were here with us. God needed you very much and that your work here on earth was done.There are times I don't understand why it had to be you. Only he know and we must not question his reasoning for taking you from us. Soon we all will be together again, but for now always remember that I still love and daddy with all my heart and soul. no matter what our differentness were in our lives as we lived together as mother and daughter. Always in my heart and soul forever and forever more. Love always, April

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My sincere sympathy to the Cole family. Lois was a dear, caring person who meant the world to me and our Special Education students. I had an email this a.m. from a former student who said he remembers Mrs. Cole helping him learn all of his states and capitals (like it was yesterday!) That was 11 years ago. He is now a father of 3!! I also continue to hear wonderful memories from others who have been encouraged by her love of education. We all miss her dearly!
