The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life
we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing is the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.....

love you

Happy Thanksgiving Mom! Boy was today a hard one. It was really hard getting everything ready and not having you here with us. Dinner just didn't taste the same. I hope that you had a great 1st Thanksgiving up in Heaven. i have to admit that I'm jealous that Nana and Grampy got to spend the Holiday with you. I miss you so much and I wish that you were here with us! I love you!
Love always and forever!

Happy Thanksgiving Mom, I can see you buzzing around the kitchen in your blue zip up bathrobe, your hair just so... rubbing your eyes under your glasses, turkey in the sink getting ready for its "treatment". How you did it I will never know. YUCK! All the while your coffee sits and gets cold."what can I do", was a common question with the same answer every time nothing we are all set. WEll this year is different and we may have all the food ready we dont have you, so this year we are not all set. I love you and miss you and wish you could be here. But I know that this was Nana's, Grandpa's, and God's year to celebrate with you! Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless. Love Julie

Mom,
Caroline,Delia,Brendan and I miss you and love you so much. Although your life's journey on earth has ended to soon and saddened us all, your life's journey in heaven will continue with love, happiness,peace and understanding with God.
Thank you for welcoming me into this wonderful family. You always cared for me as one of you own. In time our fond memories will not cause tears as they do now,but instead create big laughter and huge smiles and while we smile and laugh there will always be a tear in our eye. So with heavy heart I say good-bye and God bless.

Mom,
This is the first day that I haven't been able to see or talk to you. I keep thinking that you will just walk through the front door with all the grocery bags in hand. Oh mom I just hope that I can make you half as proud of me as you made me. You will always be on my mind. I know that you you will always be with me and that you will show me that you are with me by you little unsubtle ways. I can still hear your voice and I pray that I will always be able to hear you.You showed me how to be a great person. You are the best role model for all of us. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! Rest well mom your job is done. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

Mom, we had to say our final good-bye to you yesterday. It seems so unreal. I cannot imagine life without you. You are the one I called for everything from medical, personal and child care advise. How will I do it without you. I know in my heart the you have been preparing us our whole life to be able to stand on our on two feet. It is just so hard when you have always been there to catch us. You have been an excellent role model of what a mom should be. I hope that when my children are older they will reflect on me as fondly as I do to you. I hope I am able to raise my children with the success and love as you did. You are an amazing women. I keep thinking that I will see you or that I need to call you, but I know that you are not here instead you are finally resting with God, Nana and Pappa. So sleep tight, and rest peacefully. I love you
Julie.

The Bootier Family

July 17, 2008

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.

Dear Kristin and family;
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. My heart goes out to all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. She may have left earlier than expected, but her wonderful legacy is alive in all of her children and family members. I wish you all the best of luck in the future and in coping I hope you all remember that now you have a constant guardian angel looking over your shoulder paving or at least smoothing out your way. The Irish are known for sticking together in good times and in bad-so if you need anything Kristin (a shoulder to cry on, a hard drink perhaps) I am right around the corner- literally two minutes away. My whole family sends their condolences. God knows how much she will be missed...

Love, Victoria Pray and family

July 17, 2008

Dear Sean and family, Having lost my mother as well I can tell you that this void will never go away however the pain will subside in time. It is imperative for all of you to get together and promise to be there for each other and to promise to remember your mother in the good times that you enjoyed with her NOT in the memory of the pain and suffering. The sooner you can come to the point where you remember your mom with the smile and the laughter the sooner your healing will begin. May you all find comfort and peace in the knowledge that you were of great comfort and pride to your mother and she will forever live in your hearts and in your memory of her smile. May God bless you all... Steve and Anne Fratalia

Marsha Christensen

July 17, 2008

Dear Kevin and Kara,
It's not easy to find the right words at a time like this. You are in my thoughts and I pray that some comfort comes by thinking back on all the wonderful times you all had together. I had only met your Mom a couple times but felt as though I knew her a long time. She had a great smile when she spoke. I believe she will forever be watching over you. Over time, the great sadness you are feeling right now will lesson and it helps by keeping memories alive with pictures and talk about your happy times spent together as a family.
God Bless you and your family.
Sincere Sympathy,

Mary Curley

There are no words to describe how I'm feeling right now. I know you are watching over us and will always be sending us signs that you are watching. I know that you'll help us take care of Daddy. I will always remember you as you were before all this. I'll think of you when I see orange sherbert or whenever we go to Kohl's.

I love you Mommy. And we're all so proud of you and your brave fight. I gain strength from you. Don't ever forget that.

Dear Caroline and Family, We are very sorry for the loss of your beloved Mother. She gave you all the best gift when she gave you each other. We will keep you in our prayers.God Bless.

Wayne L'Heureux

July 16, 2008

I may never understand the loss you are feeling today, but rest assured I share in your sadness. You have all done so much for your wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and close friend of which she is surely greatful.

Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Live fame once said: "I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."

It may never be clear why this happened, but I hope all of you will be able to gain some strength over time knowing that although she is not here in person, her soul lives on in all of you and most especially with you.

Kristin... Be strong and know that I am and will always be there for you and your family if there is anything at all I can do.

God Bless and God Speed!

Rest your weary soul Mrs. Reynolds.

Dear Mo,
You made so many sacrafices for all of us and we thankyou. You are a role model, hero, and inspiration. As a mother you taught us kindness, respect, and loyality.

We love you but know you are at peace and can finally rest. Love you always,
