Marc, I miss you! I try not to look at my loss, but it is in me that you,re not here so I get a call from you! I so dearly miss your voice and the visits I used to stay at your home when Bill and I could come home.
I so hate that I moved away from you! It hurts so bad that you're gone.
You'd be proud of Christain, she is taking college cources and she and Klye have an apartment. I got to see Joe at Shawna's wedding - It was great yto see a lot of the Balsimo's! It felt great to go home - I hope someday I can come home - I know I'll be home when my time comes since I will lay right next to you! I'd rather be together now! All the holidays coming up and I do remember those - I loved staying at you're home and you asking me if I'd like to have some coffee!
the times we shared are so precious and I should of known you needed me to be in Ohio instead of Georgia!
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Hey Marc. We were all just talking about our old place andBrian asked me what ever happened to you. That was then I realized I forgot to tell him. He was so torn, and shocked and angry. Not angry at you Marc, but just angry in purpose. None of us could be there for you. But we know your in a better place with my son, and your loved ones. Your kids are so grown I couldn't believe it. They miss you terribly. Your Momma surely loves you. She is so loyal to her children. I still pray for her when she comes to mind. See ya one day buddy! ~Cheryl Evrard & family & friends

Holidays are coming and you'll be missed - a chair not filled for Thanksgiving, no lights put up by you and this will be our 8th year without those wonderful times with you.
We'll light our candles in your honor - and we could light that candle could be lit in opens to guide you back home to us.
I miss you everyday and then some - I hope you can ease the hearts of your children that miss you so much. Please speak to them to move on and make something wonderful for their future. They'll still miss you, but they will feel your touch and remember the wonderful times they had with you and how hard you worked to try to keep the family together and make them feel so much of your love.
So we'll all lite that candle so you'll know we'll never forget your LOVE you had for us.
It's hard for me to not get that call so I could help you with your future on August 31st, 2008 - I'd give you what you needed at that time, but I must think God needed you more and wanted to ease your pain.
LOVE YOU MARC - YOU'RE MISSED BY EVERYONE AND WE WILL SEE YOU WHEN OUR TIME COME TO JOIN YOU.
LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS, MOM AND FAMILY

Dear Marc,
It's been so long since I put down in words what I have gone through since you left. Here comes another Christmas without the world having your joy and warmth. It's way past time that I say something.
You and I started as friends. You were friends with anyone that would share a smile or a thought. I remember the first time that I was lucky enough to spend time around you. We were at the same friend's house. I was almost 15 and I was drawn to you. I just wanted to be close to your warmth, to share a fraction of the light you shed. I don't think more than an introduction was made and I was grateful.
As time went on you became close to my brother and his friends, spending time at my house. I tried to find excuses to be in your presence. It annoyed my brother and you gave nothing less than a smile, the occasional chuckle and always giving Aaron a hard time. Then you came to live with us and it was though my heart became full. My soul complete.
I count the times that we spent together becoming closer and finding something in each other that I have never met in anyone before or since. I know that I can never explain what you mean to me or what we had, but I want it known that it was pure; it was innocent; it was genuine; it was kind. It was everything that you are to me. I will never be able to replace you. I wouldn't want to. I miss calling you to tell you about my life. I miss being there for each other. I love knowing that you never denied me.
You were the brother that I needed. You became the man that I judged all others against and the person I wish my son knew. You remain the one person in history that I would give anything to have 5 minutes to talk with. There are so many things I need to say. But then I think how we always knew what each other was thinking and how you still seem to find me when I need you most. Even as I write this, I feel you with me. Thank you. You never failed me.
I know that I will see you again. Until then know that I love you. Merry Christmas my friend.
All my love,
Mandy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love you! Today you're 38 years old. We will celebrate in my prayers! I wish we would could have that party with all you're famly and friends. You gave so much love to your kids and our famlies and your friends. I know you love Tony and I miss you much. I know you look over him.
I know after my prayers, You and your Dad keep watch over Tony and I pray he'll be fine till the next day.
Marc you know how much I love and miss all the times we had during your life. Life isn't easy, but you made it much better for the ones you loved.
So, I'll have my candle lit and I hope we chat. I catch myself talking to you and I remember some of our conversations - I wake up because I hear my voice. I know you're here with me and that comforts me. I rather have you here with me, because 4 years is too long since I've hugged you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND I'LL LIGHT OUR CANDLE AND LET IT SHINE ALL NIGHT.
Love you and I'll see you in my dreams. LOVE YOU!

Marc,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I miss you today and everyday. I'll never forget giving you life on 1/7/75 @ 11:32 P.M. I was lucky to have such a beautiful baby and so easy to get you to sleep all night, didn't cry much at all. I'll never forget that night and every day forward.
It's so hard not to have you here with us. You'd be 38 years today. I can't get and really don't want to forget that you are my first thought of the day and the last at night.
I have a flame that is lit all night and it makes me feel you're all around me and I hold a bear every night and pray for all of your family and friends. This is just comforting to me. I love and miss you sooo very much. As mother and son we're connected all the hours and days since you left us.
I'll love and miss you, forever and always. So - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SON!
Love,
Mom

Marc,
I love you and always miss you everyday. I feel - well I know part of me died with you. It's not just part, I think it's all. I never felt so alone as I have these last 4 years.
I know I just have to move on and I'm trying, but it isn't coming easy. My world changed that day. I won't quit or give up, because our family needs me.
Your children have done well, but I'm sure at times it is so hard, they loved you so much.
There is so much I wish I could have done, but you can't fight what I didn't know just how bad everything was going for you. inside them.I know they have so much of you.
I see lots of you in Joe.
I won't rattle on, but please never leave me in my heart and our connecting souls.
Love you forever and always. I miss your voice and your HEY moms.
Know I will watch over Tony and all the kids. I do think of them also every day.
Love,
Mom

Marc,
I missed you yesterday, but I picked a card out for us to celebrate. People probably think I'm crazy - but it helps me to get by. I love you. If I could I'd send them UPS, but we'd need a large truck. When I come home to rest, I'll bring them, so we can have a good laugh. I hope you know what I do and you're laughing now.
Bill and I just watched Golf and I thought about you and read a book. I got through Our 4th Mother's Day!
I may get to come home in June, so I hope I can find all the kids. I miss you and your family. But, we had some fun, just shopping at Walmart, bond fires, Christma and any time We could come.
I love you as you know and you're our Angel. Love you always and forever and you're thought of everyday and you're the last person as I fall asleep.
Love You!

Marc,
Mothers Day is coming and I'll miss your voice when you always called. I could tell you ane Tony apart, not by much. I know your call will come with a special whisper of wind, when I'll leave my bedroom open.
I miss you so much, but you're always here alot, because I'll wake myself up talking yo you. I'll always have those mornings, I hope for the rest of my life. I think it's words that were left unspoken, or plans we wanted for you and your family. I can't touch you, but I feel you some days all around me. I hope our connection never ends - I know it won't because you're such a part of me.
I'll miss you're HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ON THE PHONE, BUT IT WILL BE HELD ALL DAY LONG IN MY HEART.
lOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS!

Marc,
I Love you! This week I saw you and we talked, I thought I got peace, maybe for a while, but I miss you as if it was yesterday. I remember our last talk all the time. I wish we had so many things different, but I don't know if you wanted me to help you start all over. I get so confused, but I always pray every nite that you'll talk to me and this week was the best. You were dressed in white pants and a lite blue shirt, gosh you're handsome. You seemed so happy and peaceful - I would love to have that peace, instead all my tears - maybe some day they'll stop. Maybe it's because I want to trade places - I'm not sure. I would you know and I know you believe that I would. I love you, so please don't stop visiting in my lite sleep - at least I have a connection to you. We're so connected and maybe that's why it's too soon for my loss to get easy. I just talk to you at night, because I'm afraid no one feels like I do or they want to forget, so it will be better - maybe they have healed and accepted better than I have. I'll always love you my son, forever and always you're always on my mind. All my love!

But, no mattter our love always revailed. The older you got were as good as the years yesterday with you,Tony and your Dad. We can't go back and catch those moments, but they so special to me, especially at Christmas.
I shopped this week, but it was a gift for everyones memorey of you. You are here in spirit, so the Grave Blanket was done ( beautifully in Silver and Blue) Tony laid the blanket for us and we'll lite a candle of Blue.
We know you're soul is not there, but it's our way of saying Merry Christmas my Son and I will honor my memories forever.
We Love You - Miss You - Honor You for all the time we were blessed to have you here on earth with us.

FATHER'S DAY IS COMING UP AND I MISS YOU. I QUESTION HOW I LET SOMETHING HAPPEN TO YOU. IT'S HARD FOR ANY OF US TO UNDERSTAND. I'LL ALWAYS WONDER WHY! I SAW THE KIDS OVER MEMORIAL WEEKEND AND HAD FUN WITH ALL OF THEM AT TONY'S. WE HAD TO HEAD BACK, BUT I'M HOPING TO SEE THEM AGAIN. I WANT TO TAKE JOE AND SIS ON VACATION WITH US, AND NEXT YEAR WE'LL TRY AND TAKE THE CAMPER TO OHIO. THE CAMPER IS JUST TOO SMALL TO HAVE ALL OF THEM AT OUR SPOT AT JEYKELL ISLAND. BILL AND I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THEM TO DISNEY BEFORE THEY GET TOO OLD - IF NOT THERE MAYBE TO KING'S ISLAND.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH - I HATE BEING TONYA IS GOOD WITH THE KIDS.
MY FEELINGS OF MISSING YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE- ILOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. I STILL DREAM ABOUT YOU COMING HOME.
LOVE YOU AND HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Marc,
Miss you and the sound of your voice. I love you so very much. I'll never let the thoughts of you leave until my candle goes out and I see you among the stars.
February was a tuff month. I thought about your love for family and Valentine stuff you'd be doing with kids for her. You were so special about all occassions. Iadmired how you handled the good and the bad. I longed for your life to always begood with kids and marriage---then we lost all of that.
I love you! You had a Easter Card on the chester drawers, along with my angel (you), the rock from your drive way is still there, a small log cabin, my Mother's Day Card -I select what were are to each other and that's always fun. Each card has aspecial meaning to me.
I'm coming home to do you flowers and bring small token I can put down under the flowers,I think you'll like them. They aren't real big, but they are beautiful and you'll they came from Bill and I.
I love you and I'll be there in about 3 weeks, you just don't know how Bill and the Dr Harris helps me. I still don't really want to admit your not here in human form, but I will make pictures of us, no matter silly.
I Love You!

I love you! It's Holiday time and I've been burning candles for you since Halloween. I got a Halloween snow globe and lit it through Thangsgiving along with your cards. Your Christmas globe was so neat, the snow blows and Santa has a lantern to go down the Chimmney. I have a love cup that holds a chandle thar shines through the nite, right now we have the smell of Christmas Trees. I'm going to lite it until I'm no longer here on earth and I'm with you.
I can't be in Ohio alot so that is my special thing I do for you and I. I miss you and rhe family. I talked to the kids at Christmas. I want to try and go to Ohio and spend more than just a few days. It doesn't or hasn't gotten easier to not get your calls, so my candle lighting is my symbol of love for you' plus my cross I wear around my neck. ( I NEVER TAKE IT OFF). i MISS YOU SO MUCH!
Bill is still working ( he's out of town for a week), but I know you'll watch over me and maybe let dream of times that were special for us.I know you're watching over you're children-that is a given. But I'm here if you come to visit.
Brian and Marissa had a baby boy on November 19th. They are proud to be parents. Carolyn went home for abot 6 weeks or so.
Maybe I'll take her home if the weather stays nice in Ohio. I deon't mind the snow, just not in the mountains to travel in.
I talk to Tony about every 2 weeks - I don't want to use up his minutes. I know he's there if I'm having a bad day. He called me on Halloween, his birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. He's working in warerhouse not far from home. He misses you and It's was very hard with his Dad just passing. We know you're both looking down on us. Just give him great big hugs. He sees Anthony quite a bit. I know that's what's keeping him to stay strong.
Well, I will closr for now, I just want people to know you're not forgotten EVER and if yhey want to open their hearts on this site, please do so.
LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS - THIS FRIDAY IS YOUR 36TH BIRTHDAY. YOUR BIRTHDAY CARD IS BY MY ANGEL, ALONG WITH A ROCK FROM YOUR DRIVEWAY, AND THE CANDLE WILL FOREVER BE LIT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MARC - NO ONE WILL EVER THAT PIECE OF MY HEART THAT YOU LIVE IN.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY A LITTLE EARLY, BUT I'LL BE BACK ON TO TELL YOU ON FRIDAY.

Marc,
I talked to the kids yesterday and that felt good. They're trying to get in the
Christmas Spirit. You always put the Spirit in
in my Christmas. Bill and I will stay home here in
Richmond Hill, since we went home for Thanksgiving. It felt so good to talk to all of them.
I miss you making the Gingerman House with the kids and putting up the lights and tree.
I have my angel of you out as always everyday - that will go with me when it's time for me to meet you. I bought a snow globe that lights up, my rock from your drive way. a little log cabin, your Chrismas card and a scented balsam cedar candle that I'll light through the winter. It's beautiful at nite to see. It's are Christmas Place. It sounds like a large space but it isn't just half of the top of my dresser. It's my place to celebrate your life.
I'll never forget you Marc - never. I love you and miss you just much as the first day. I do get some dreams about us. I wanted to send you a cell phone in one dream so we could talk.
Bill and I love you always and you presence will be felt here on Christmas day. I'll miss my " Mom do you want a cup of coffee". I'll drink one for you and one for me.
I miss you more than ever, so maybe I'll have some Christmas Dreams with you this week.
Watch over the kids, Tony, Monica's family, Sherry and I hope to see you in my dreams this week and forever.
Love you Forever and Always!

I love you so much. I know you and your dad are looking over all of us.
It's getting to start fall and I've done a Halloween tree in the back yard over looking the pond. It's nice to look out from the sun room and see the tree and the lighted water fountain, with the cooler air. I miss you so much, last night I heard the my cell phone ring about 3 a.m.. I picked it up but there was no number was there. Maybe you just called me from heaven and that number in up with the stars shining so .
I love you and miss our visits at your house when we came into town. I will cherrish all the time we had and all the phone calls that last summer and through out the years. Life isn't the same without you, but I know you're t!here.

It's our time of year. Pumpkins are out and the leaves are falling. I look back at your first Hallowee, you were on 10 months old and walking. You were dressed up with sweats with as a cheerleader ( you could pass the cutest little girl. We had Tony as a football player and Mom was dressed as a coach. I always had so much fun. I know you felt that way when you had children of your own. Your dad couldn't wait till we got back to the house to see all the goodies we had and we had plenty.
Every Halloween we had stuff on the cupboards the front door. I loved it. I look back with a broken heart knowing that I'll had those times, but time has not taken my grief away. I have to look at what was so fun. I loved you guys. We always went to City Hall and saw my Mom, Uncle Woody ( he was crazy about you - but who wasn't), we'd go to grandma Bette's and them down to Downtown Groveport. Good thing we had a wagon as long as we stayed out.
This is he hardest time of the year for me. Halloween, then the best homemade Thanksgiving and a birthday cake for Tony and your Dad.
Christmas is coming fast too. We always had to have a big tree. It's no wonder your dad thought, Ol' my gosh - how do we get this in the door, but we managed. I'd start shopping right after Hallowee and wrap and hide the presents. I know was a kid at heart too. My heart breaks that I won't get to hug and kiss you Merry Christmas, but I will - I hold my bear and kiss you every nite still and make my bed and put you right there in 2 lighthouse pillows till I return home from work. I guess it's really Christmas in my heart every day. I'll never let my bear go without it going too. People may think i'm crazy, but my bear, cards, angel in the corner and my journal are all I'll ever need in my life.
Coming home that Christmas of 2007 was the greatest and maybe God knew something that we didn't. I'm sure you and God are doing specail things for special people - I miss you son and always will.
I try and pull out all the good times, to help me cope, because we had some good family time. When Bill and I came for Christmas it wasn't about beer and stuff. It was the spirit of Christmas and the early morning gifts to exchange before daylight. I hope you enjoyed Christmas as much as I did. I miss you Marcie and you were even a great, funny, good looking and smart little guy from the moment we were born. I was Bless to have you as my son, I'd give anything to hold you and bring you back to the good world.
But don't ever look back and think I didn't love you. I never thought sad things happen to good people. You will forever in our hearts. I see you when the leaves blow across the grass, I know you're out at the campground when there's a fog over the water, when the jeep sits outside the camper. I know we're not far away, but I know too that you're everything to everyone and that is what God wanted you to be.
Happy Halloween and I'll be looking over my shoulder too see your foot steps behind me.
Please talk with Tony and be there right by his side. He misses you and he's trying to hold on ( all of us ), keep you dad well. Tony misses you dearly and that is brotherly love, through good times and bad he loves you every minute. None of us is perfect, but God forgives all.
Please keep a watchful eye on your Dad and hold him so tight, so you can make him well. I know you're an angel and that's what angels do.
Love you so much my Angel of a son. Love you now, forever and we will be together again.
Love,
Mom
I know you're watching over the kids and Tonya, so please keep them safe and Tonya strong.

Hey,
Just wanted to let you know that i love you and miss you so much..we ALL need you right now and you know why. I know that if anyone can make everything ok you can. you always helped me through when i was little, you were good at that. please just watch over like i know you are. love you so much
October 2, 2009
Hey!
I still love you so much everyday. I've tried everything I to make things brighter, but nothing will ever be as bright for me as to hear your voice.
Yes, I get through each day with work and then just go home and sleep till the next one. I know I'm wasting and missing out on alot of everyday life, but some days I don't want to face the thought of you being gone. You're not gone with my heart, I just want to hug you and have you still here.
Bill and I did take a vacation to Florida to just see the ocean and get some real rest. We did enjoy that for a week. We went on the Gulf side and it was very pretty. We stayed at Panama City Beach, Fl. Bill had to work close to there for 2 weeks,so he went out one weekend and saw a Holiday Inn and thought he'd make us a reservation so He could rest. It seemed like things were better there. I thought you'd were liking it to with that blue/green water and white sand. I had to come back and face all my feelings, but I did get a break for a while.
I did see the kids the week before Memorial day and got to take them school shopping. I did feel pretty good about that and then we went to Sonic's and had dinner. They are sll so cute and growing up so fast. I probably will see them more since I got over that hurdle ( I hope I can ). No one can ever take the place of you, but those kids help. I wish I could move back to Ohio, but at this time I can't - right now. I'll go home as much as I can.
Tony is doing okay with his apartment. He does give me a call a few times a week and I love it. You know how early I go to bed, so everyone has to call before 9 p.m. or I'm out of it. The meds the doctor gives me helps me sleep and cope.
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I'm depressed, but I'm trying to get better. I know I'd feel better if you just knocked on my door at the camp site and we'd just go fishing.
I love you with all my heart and don't ever forget that. Your dad has been sick for a few days, but we're all going to make him feel better. I know you can help from up above.
Love you and I'll be okay - I know you're looking down on us and believe in us that we'll all do our best to make big effort to guide Joey, Sissy, Quinton and lil' Marcus. Their little sister is here and you know they're like you and they'll help her grow up. Your children have big hearts just like you.
I love you and help me cheer up. Your calls and emails always did. Ol' by the way I picked out our Halloween card for us - I hope you liked it. I know you think I'm crazy and I am. No doctor just can get that out of me or go away. Guess it was just meant to be. I think we have alot in common ( I don't mean crazy - it means that when we love people, we love with our heart and not our heads, but at least we know what that kind of love is. Love ,

Wow Marc, its been a whole year since you left this awful world. Doesn't seem that long. I would like to ask a favor of you....PLEASE send as many blessings as you possibly can, to your Momma. She longs for you and the healing process is not working at a very rapid pace. God bless her. I pray every time I see what she writes to you, that God will heal her heart. It never goes away, for I still long for my sweet funny son, myself. I talk to him daily. I have a memorial site in my house, with his ashes, shoes, boots, jersey, hat jewlry, etc. all set up, and Rusty has one as well for him in his garage. I gave him some of Jesse's items to display. How we miss his happy face. But.....according to God's word, we will see him again, "SOON" enough. I cant wait. I wouldnt mind leaving this place when God comes to get us all. Well Marc, I know your busy up there and all, so will close with a goodbye our friend, and don't forget to put in a good word for you Mom, and send them blessings A.S.A.P. K? Love: Cheryl and Family.

Marc
I love you! I've been here just working and missing you. Ever since Memorial Day this summer has been tough. I had so many calls last year and now this summer is so empty without your voice on the phone. I can't even begin and there's not enough words to say how I've felt lately.
I pass the time away either by working, sleeping, long rides on the weekend with Bill or I may sit at the pool. I haven't done that for a few weeks. I only work 3 days right now and at first I was okay, but now I count the weeks down until that aweful call I received on the 31st. The words are just engraved in my mind. They say that time heals, but this year isn't healing or is healing very slow.
Our pot is still lit at night until morning. I need to put some more flowers in it. I don't seem to have that green thumb, but I know you don't care. It has a southern look with its white house in the middle with a few cigarette butts put in there when I find one that shows me you were by. The wind chime still chimes when I have a really bad day and there's no wind. I know its you and I come outside and talk to it and our pot. You're with me everywhere I go, through the good days (if I get one)and the bad. I think I want to just sit like Kenny Chesney in that old blue chair.
I talk to Tony almost every week or so. Just checking on one another. I always ask how your dad is and to keep and eye on him and don't let him work too hard. They need each other (on good days and bad). Your dad loves you guys so much. Every one loves you 3 guys and you make everyone proud when they look back and think of times they had with you. I just love you!
Tonya put a pool picture of you up and my heart just leaped out of my chest. I could of just reached out and touched you. It is so real ane you are so handsome. This should of not happened where we still can't hug you, laugh with you, see you cooking, playing with the kids, and all of you watching TV with all of you in your bed, couch or floor. I remember those times and I'm proud of those moments that I will always treasure. I'm so sad that they're gone in person, but they're in my mind and heart. Your spirit surrounds all of us and you'll always be there when we're happy, sad, lonely, crazy and wild. God do I miss you.
You and I had some crazy times and I loved you. You just a stubborn as me, but we loved each other so much. I still hear our conversations, and I see your smile, your thank yous, us shopping at Kroger or Walmart ( I'm not good at the U-scan, so you or Tonya did it for me when we went shopping for whatever we needed that day or weekend ). I won't ever forget those moments and me getting lost and I'd have to call you, so you could direct me to the house.
You know Bill he is still working hard as usual, but I make him go golding 2-3 times a week. I want him to enjoy life because he has given us so much through the years, so that is his time. He wishes you'd be here with him. We talk about you alot every weekend alot. Wherever we go we'll say you'd like to see this or that. There's some big catfish in the lake there and alagators too. He loves you so much Marc. He would have helped you to no end last year-he hates that he was cheated from doing that for his son. He did enjoy the times we spent with you, even if he was just tired out and sleeping on your couch. He'd drive as far as we needed to be there when we could. He knew what it meant to me and also to him. He is at loss, but he looks out for me and pushes me and hugs me so tight when I need it. He knows the Marc look and my world is alittle down, so he tries toe keep me busy or asleep with the fan.
I just wanted to take time to say I love you to the world. I hope you;'re in a better placed then last year at this time. I miss you yesterday, today, and tomorrow and forever, but I'm with you and you with me in our souls and spirits. Love you so much!
Love always forever and ever!

Marc and family,
I know how hard it had to be yesterday. I wanted Tonya to be the only one on this yesterday because of the kids and herself.
I did miss our short call that we would get and you could tell Bill-
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. He knows you were there. Bill came outside to our bench and I let off our balloons. They got stuck in a tree for awhile. But then the tree started to sway and the ballons came apart 1 by 1 and came up to you. It was really neat to see. Our balloons have gone different different directions each month or holiday that I sent them up.
Happy the day after Fathers Day!
Love so very much!

This week end Bill joined a Golf Club, would you of have thought he was a big kid. He was so excited and got such a wonderful deal. I wanted him to join, so he would meet other people and get into some leagues. God knows the man deserves to have a great time for the rest of his life. I know you will be up there being his caddy. We drove all around the greens. I called Tony and Spence and told them about it, and they thought that was great. Both of them think so much of Bill and Spence honors that you were his other father. That is neet.
I had to get the ususal hair done, so that was why he was getting golf stuff.
Richmond Hill is really a nice place to live. It's a small city, but we sit where you can go to alot of tourist signt. We can get to Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Tybee Island, Jeykel Island, St Simons and of course Savannah. It will be fun as long as we live here, until MPW moves us around. I think this will be our last move.
I'm really right now trying not to make too many decisons at once. Yes, of course, I made the one in Ohio (which doesn't bother me what some think), I'm happy because at least our sites will be taken care of. I would want to have it other way.
I do love our Black Big Wheel Jeep. I'm proud of that one from the first time I saw it. I will put a special tag on it. I just have to find the right one. It's a six speed and that is fun. We'll be riding in that one one the beach and it will be 5 o'clock somewhere. ( I just can't drive ya know after 1 , but that is okay - one is enough for me). I'll add to it little by little. It reminds me so much of you driving your bronco with your sun glasses on. You are on handson guy. I shop at Souther Landscaping always and see them when I am in Augusta. And even William and the guys talk about that and of course they justed loved Rick too.
I talk to Tony quite alot and he sounds better. We all have our bad days, but he is doing so good. I lome it that we can talk. I miss all of our conversations and always will, nothing can change that and no one can take that away. They are our memories as mother and Son - Good or Bad - it doesn't matter to me how who wathever means.
I do miss the kids and I know they're growing up fast. You should see Ellie and Morgan, they're like Sissy, starting to blossom. Rich and Scott are doing pretty well, as far as I know. Bill doesn't talk to them - like we alsways talked. But, Bill trys to call at least a month. We're suppose to see them some time this summer. I hope to make it home also for a long weekend. I know I'll at least get to see Tony, Anthony, and Lisa, but that all depends and if that is how it is, well that is how it is. I always say a little prayer everynight for your little guys (well, not so little ones) Time goes , but so quickly.
Well, I love you and just wanted to say, it was not too bad of a weekend. Some are good for me and some are harder, just like everone else's. Bill, works hard to keep my mood up - I'm so glad that we all have him in our lives. He has a cool head - he loved you go. He didn't care if you needed some things for the kids, he would do it, shop at Walmart with you, loved your potatoes, Take the kids to Blockbluster and get movies, go out to each, buy school clothes to help, help with Christmas when times were tough, Bill and I did alot of things for the family and enjoyed every minute of it. He took care of you when Money was low for you. I never needed his approval, because he knew it was hard to raise so kids and have a big family. There is alot of good memories that we have - some can see things different ways and have alittle memeory loss as we get older, but Bill and I love you guy and your kids. He was closer to your kids than his very own and goes to say for something. Bill and I are remain proud of what we always tried to do, because we knew how hard to tried. All parents make some mistakes - it's not mistakes, it trying to protect the one you love to keep them safe. Hey we had some fun!!! Know it's time for me to try and give Bill some good times he deserves alittle golf and easy livin'. It may take me 2-3 jobs to give it to him, but I'll do my best to give that man a rest.
I have lots of memories of you and Tony growing up, and I worked hard to make sure I provided for you.
I love you with all my heart and it's nice to see that you have to sets of parents that try and tried to always help.
Memories are the greatest things that all of us will have and please for God and Marcus's love for all of us - let's just go one the best each of us can and let Marc too have him memories in heaven and he can be at peace and look down and love all of his family, friends and the life he had and the no worry life that was before.
May God Bless All us Let Marc have all his loves in his life. He is a man that deserves so much. Let's all put together our own memory books together and keep them private and a keepsake and a tribute to him in the way we felt about him.
Love you forever and ever!

Hey Marc!
I got to talk to Brian Neal yesterday. It was hard, but a good thing at the same time. I'm hoping to be able to meet up with most of your friends when I get into town the next time. I know they have lots of stories to share. I remember after Bill and I married how you became such friends with all the guys on the block. I just kept baking cookies and stuff. We had some fun times.
I'm glad to hear that the kids are doing fine and Tonya is taking good care of them. I know they're great kids. I've been around and have seen it. They are growing up so fast. All of my grandkids are (all 12 of them). I know they miss you Marc, and I wish you were with them. I truly do! I know what Tonya means about pictures. I have them in the camper, along with my drawing stuff. I've got some of the best pictures of you with the Easter Bunny, Christmas, Disney World, Nascar, every school picture. You were such a pretty baby, that everyone thought - isn't she cute. You even had you jeans and boots on and they'd say that. Go figure!!!!!!
I need to make copies, so your Dad can have some of those.
No one is ever going to forget you. It's just hard on me to lose you. You give birth to a child and then do the best you can raising them. Raising children is the hardest job in the world, yet the most rewarding one. After they grow up, they'll have their own life and that is what I wanted for you. I was just there when you called and needed some extra help. I enjoyed your calls. I still wanted to help you so bad last summer no matter what would happen, but I didn't get to. I love you and that is all that I have to remember, with no lies between us and just love. I just cherrish my memories in different ways I since I'm a mother. Everyone will, because it's all different for every relationship that they had with you. I don't want take anyone's feelings away from them. I have my own love and memories as your mother. We all will hold fast to them. I know I will. I do my own little rituals that make me feel good. Some are hard, some are fun and some just come from my soul and the spirit I feel around me too, as Tonya and the kids will have theirs. There is no right or wrong way - it's just let each one have their feelings and each of us accept that. All of us take care of our own familes, as I am doing now. Getting Bill ready for retirement some day!!!!!!!
I know with Tonya being pregnant she'll be very busy and that is good. I'm proud to see she can handle that. Raising a family is hard and I know she'll do a good job. I know it took me 2 jobs for raise you and Tony for awhile, until I met Bill years later. The kids will be fine and each of us will still strive to cherrish your memories,no matter where we are at in our lives, you belong to all of us and that is a big group. I know your spirit is spread around amounst all of us and what you were to us. I Thank God everyday for the years we all had you. We are all winners with what you added to our world. So with all that said God Bless all your children, Tonya and her new baby.
Bill are trying to get together at Glenn's house somewhere around July 4th. You know how hard it is to get away from MPW (but, at least we still have jobs) Becca is coming in from India. Scott and Rich want to come there too. I think there will be alot of card playing going on. You know how all of us used to play cards on the Holidays (way late into the night). I know I always had to go to bed so I could work. It took alot of working to raise you 4 boys, but we did it. I could go on and on, but I'll save all the tails, feelings and tears for my journal at home (at least today - somedays there is just tears whenever I go - I just wake up with them and do the best I can, and get to work, and sometimes cry through work) Thank Heavens it's only Wanda and I in this office. Wanda is a sweet heart!!!!!!

I remember your Holidaw weekend last year. I remember it all to well. I was suppose to let my hair down and have some fun. I can see just how great those friends were. I know they're feeling real good about this Holiday this year.
I enjoyed our talks after that holiday and the night out for the boys and girls after that. Guess having that good of a time in the beginning of the summer was a good start for the rest of the get togethers. I still have pictures of all that. Ol' they were good ones - I do have to laugh at some of them. I finally got to figure out who were some of the people I didn't know. I didn't know that some of them moved in with you. You were truly a really good person - you just gave everyone everything you had.
This year there will be new beginnings for Tonya's family, with the family growing and growing. Wow!!!!!!!!! Life is to be enjoyed and I hope everyone does get to enjoy the great big times ahead. I'm glad everyone is having fun.
I hope the kids will do just fine with summer fast approaching.
I miss you, but the fun needs to be there. I'll get there someday. It's doesn't come so easy for me. I'll keep trying to forge ahead. Bill and I honor you each and everyday. This past weekend was alittle uneasy, but I made it through it. Thank God for Bill and You know how much you and I both mean that for Bill.
I finally got to court and I can change my name to Balsimo, in the middle, since I don't have a middle name. I figure that way it won't seem to confusing at the cememtary with my stone next to yours. It makes more sense. Balsimo/Everly. I guess I could throw Davis in there first. I think of how to do it. I'm just glad I know where final resting place will be next to you. I know you're better looking than me, so maybe I can get some work done before I send in my picture.
This weekend was a very sad one, but Bill got me out and cleaned up our ride. I think you like it, because my wind chimes keeps going off.
Tony called last night when he got home from Lisa parent's house. They went up there to help open the pool. Tony sounded pretty good. I didn't talk to him too long because they brougbt back flowers to plant from her mom's house. I wish I had Tony's, Spence's and your green thumb. I keep working on it.
Bill and I road to the ocean and looked at placed to rent around Richmond Hill. I still like the camp ground, so we'll look for a bigger camper for us. We've look at bikes, fishing poles and all kinds of out door stuff.
Marc I really feel close to you here at the campground with the water, social gatherings on the weekends, ice cream socials. It is a real friendly KOA and we love it. We are still by our special bench where we talked all summer.
I love and miss you with all my heart. I'm just doing things that make me feel closer to you as a Mom. May You and God Bless us and watch over all of us.
I love you and miss you!

Hey Man,
I just wanted to say how sad that all of your friends are. I know all of them,(including me) need to come out more often to show you. Nobody has forgotten you, I have people asking me all the time about you. I think that shows how good of a guy you are. People really enjoyed being around you! I get questions all the time, but the more answers I get, the sadder I get. The only solace that I get is hoping that you arent hurting anymore, and you are in a better place now.

I've learned that Love is stronger than death! Real Love never dies!
There is no Bond greater then between a Mother and Child!
This Sunday will be Mother's Day!
A day to celebrate motherhood,
and I will celebrate!
God gave me two sons and filled my heart with joy. Both different, but yet the same.
I'll rejoice with fond memories of all your days growing up and until your not so fond of death.
There is a sadness, an emptiness, a place in your mother's heart for the son not living. An emptiness never filled,
a quiet reserved place that holds you so dear.
Tony will call for both of you and that I can count on. Tony has had a load to carry and a big role he is fulfilled. He has loved me twice as hard to help take the emptiness that I feel and I do the same for him. We love you so much!
I know you'll call in my heart and softly late that night.
Marc, will I celebrate your life that I gave to you, I'll surely try.
Go walk at along the ocean!
Set off special balloons for you and me!
Take a good long ride in our special ride!
Listen to joyful music!
Pray that you'll always be with me, as I know you will!
I know there will be tears to shed, maybe a small stream or a thundering storm.
My heart will break as usual, for another milestone appears that I have to get through.
But nothing can discourage me from all my feelings and longing for you to be here earth.
I love you, I miss you and I'll always be your mother every day and especially on Happy Mother's Day!
I love you my son, my beautiful baby boy!
Marcus Spencer Balsimo
Born January 7, 1975
That grew up to be a Wonderfull,Loving and Thoughtfull, Handson man!
You gave Life all that you had to give, and left me way to soon! (All of us)
Love you with all my heart, soul, and spirit - Forever!
I'll get my Hey Mom! Happy Mothers Day!
Always Love You!

Hi Marc!! I bet the warm sun is shining over you, Jesse and Rick huh? It has been beautiful here over the weeks. I wrote in Jesse's book today, like I do each and every day, telling how much I miss him. We wish you could have moved back here as your Mom asked. We would have been able to see you, and bar-b-q as we used to do. Your famous strawberry daquiri's were absolutely awesome. I saw pic's of your children, and OH MY, how much they have grown. Sissy is so pretty. I see she straightens her hair like Kaylan does. Kaylan is here and asked me to say: Hi Marc! This is Kaylan, I remember all the fun you used to make for us kids. You and Tonya were always doing something fun outside for us. Thanks for that, and please hug Uncle Rick and my Bubba for me? bye love you Kaylan. Well she is getting along fine now as we all are, knowing that you boys are in a wonderful place. It is so rough though, knowing we wont see you all until our day comes. So sad and heart breaking. Your Mom is the best Mother anyone could have and she misses you so aweful. Shine over her Marc, PLEASE? Show her your with her always as Jess does to me. She feels your presence. And she deserves each close feeling that you bring. Take care of things up there, Im sure God has you guys busy. Hey Rick!! the chickens are doing great!! LOL.

I love you! It's nice to see that so many people write notes to you. I enjoy reading all the true facts. I know how special you were to everyone. Tony had over 33 years of being your brother and I being your mother. Tony and I know in out hearts that you never forgot that and times were good and bad. We must remember the good and accept the things that we would have done differently. Tony and I just want you to know that together him and I are trying to work the hard days out.
I'm glad Tonya is doing such a great job with the kids and has the support that she has. I know she'll continue to do a good job after the baby comes in a few months. I know the kids will accept another brother or sister. My mom raised 5 of us, by working 2 jobs, had her faith, and you knew grandma's will power. Grandma Better also has had that strength. Those 2 ladies taught me alot in my lifetime to just be proud of who I am and what I have accomplished. Tonya will have that feeling too.
Yesterday I finally got your planter planted, and palm trees on the ends of the camper. That was great theraphy for me once I got started. I will light it every nite as always, but now it has a springtime look. All I need now is to put a fisherman sitting on the side with running water. I should put a stove too, but you planter just isn't that big. I'll draw pictures of that.
I love and miss the kids alot and wish I could come home more often. Bill needs me to help him alot so he doesn't have to work forever - he'll be 65 this October and he will love his son until the end of time. Some day we will join you. I'm glad that I'll get to be next to you when my time comes. I got that answer that day I laid down where you would be and knew it would be my future resting place. I better have everything in place when that time comes, because Bill won't be too good at that. I'll do the design along with Tony's help. Love you forever and I know you're all around us and not just in your final resting place - your spirit moves us and pushes us to go forward. I know your children will ave that strength, because they seem to have it already. I wish things were different for them, but Tonya will provide for them until they want their independence and become young adults. I'm glad to hear that Joey is as handsome as you are, because I knew he always was - You were very handsome, friendly, loving, your own person and I was very proud to be your mother and no one and I know no one will ever take away from us. I feel you around me and I'm hoping to find more than what was here on earth that we could connect. Our spirits connect and may everyone have their own special connection. Love you with all my heart - you're always Marc and their I will keep our memories.
Love you every minute of everyday. Love You!

Hey Marcus!! Shannon here. I wanted to tell you, I am quite jealous knowing you get to see all the beautiful angels we have lost over our life time, and you get to see all the glory up there with our Lord. I know you carry a permanent smile each day. I hope God comes for us all before long. This world is a living hell most times. I am so so sorry to just hear that you found out the sad news about baby marcus before you went home. We feared that 2 years ago. Things are much better for you in heaven my friend. No more pain, no more sorrow. God loves you and we do too! Give everyone up there hugs from me will you? And one big one for you!! Love ya friend.

Happy Easter Marc and Rick!! I had a special Easter contributed to Jesse as well! I remember how you used to decorate during the holidays for the kids. And always made time fun for them. Especially in the summer when you would fill the pool for them and set out tiki lamps to enjoy the evening swims. You were a great dad, that deserved much more in life. Jesse did as well. We are finally moving from this property you guys lived on with us. We got our four bedroom house. Kerry got his workmans comp he suid Leonard for finally. Got accepted for disability after his roof fall at work. He got the settlement that will finally get us back on track and live a better life after all lifes struggles since July 2008. I hope you three guys are having a blast together. I can still hear Rick screaching my name across the yard at time. I loved him so!! He was a true buddy! Love you guys, and will see you in the near future, cuz I do believe Jesus will come again for us all soon. PRAISE GOD!!!

Love and miss you. Sunday all of us will miss all the things you did with the kids for Easter. I know Tonya will do something special with them. You made holidays special (this is just another milestone we all have to get through without you) - you made alot of everydays special for everyone.
I'm hoping to plant my planter this weekend and do it springtime. I'll remember all the Easter's we used to have while you and Tony were small. We even did some nice Easter nests as all of you boys got older. (Rich, Scott, Tony and yourself) Those were also special times for Bill and I.
I guess there wasn't a holiday that we didn't do up right. I'm glad you passed that on to your children. Joey, Sissy, Quinton will never forget those and little Marcus will get to see pictures and there will be good stories to tell him.
I miss you so much. No matter how many days have passed since then, my life has forever changed. Everyone's has - each of us will go through our own pain no matter how long it takes. Dr Harris told me there is no time line on my grief and it will be what it is. He also told me I have to heal myself, before I can offer much more to anyone else. Together with Dr. Harris, family, friends, faith and your spirit - I will get passed the shock and pain that I carry everyday. Marc, I need your help to guide me to understanding and heal my broken hearts. I hope for all hearts to be healed in days, months or years to come. You're so missed and loved by all.
I love and miss you with all my heart. I'll be wishing you Happy Easter this Sunday and hopefully smile at pass Easters.
Forever Your Mom and I love you!
