Dear Mom,

It's still so fresh in my mind even though it has been 4 years. I haven't written in awhile and just felt like writing down something today. Our lives have changed so much with Paul winning the election, but you know that. We are moving to a 4 bedroom house with a pool. You would have loved it. Paul is very busy and we are finishing the boxing and moving of little things. The house will go on the market then. We miss you and dad so much. Today I just sat and imagined how happy you are with Baba, Dad, Eddie, Uncle Don and all you friends that have gone before and after you. I pray that God allows me to stay here on earth until Paul Christian is a good age. Basically..... I need at least another 20 years down here. Fly, sing, eat fruit and all the yummy stuff that is in and around the Heavens.

Miss you

Dear Mom and Dad,

How's heaven? Do you have a Christmas tree? Tell Nana hi, We miss all of you but especially this time of year. One day we will have all the answers ourselves. I'm stil dividing the pictures... what a task. Every picture comes with memories. I took your Christmas sweater out of the closet, the one you wore for your last Christmas with us, and could almost see you in it. We miss you. Paul Christian still refers to the bathroom you used as "Babu's bathromm" your bedroom "Babu's bedroom" Sorry, I've decorated it in a Spongebob theme. Kiss the Big Guy for me (hopefully that allowed). He did so much for us, He is the only way we can all be together again. I love you.

Dear Mom,

I'm going through some pictures that were left in your storage. It is very hard to look at pictures and think of times gone by. I'm getting K.Ds together and sending them to Aunt Darlene. I want to keep my promise to you. I think of you often, Paul Christian talks about you all the time, but I'm sure you know that. I haven't stopped by in the last several months and just felt compelled to today. Paul Christian has started 1st grade, he is doing great. I really do miss our shopping sprees.

Love you always,

Cindy

Dear Mom,

This year more than last, we missed you being at the house. Paul Christian stated Kindergarten and is flourshing, but with a little bit of an attitude. Paul wants to know when the terrible "2s" end! We drive past the Rehab center every day and we usually look in and say "hi Babu in Heaven"

Paul Christian loved listening to your last message that you left the night before you passed away. Unfortunately, he accidentally erase it one day... and he cried for hours. He is a spunky but very loving and sensitive child and months afterwards talks about erasing Babu's last message. Two weeks before, I taped it on another tape recorder, just in case it got erased one day.... so I still have it. The clarity isn't as good though. I guess we couldn't keep it forever on our machine.

We miss you and dad so much. We wish that your graves were closer so we could go and place flowers on the sites.

I hope that I will be blessed with a dream that will include you and dad in it one day. Paul Christian says he dreams of you a lot. He loves you so much. I thank God for giving him those dreams so he can remember how loving you were to him.

We love you and know you are in a better place. Love Cindy

Dear Mom,

This past year has been a blurr. I cannot believe you have been gone for a year now. Your clothes and things are still in your room. I'm going to decide what to do with them soon... only because we need the room. I planted a beautiful Palm tree in the front yard and Paul Christian and I named it Babu. We know you would have loved looking out the front window at that Palm tree.

Paul Christian had his Spring concert and said he wanted to sing so loud you could hear him in heaven. Boy did he ever

Even though you aren't with us any longer... it is comforting to write correspondence in 1st person. It affirms to me that you are alive but you are in a much better place. I hope someday I will be able to visit your grave.

This week end as we celebrate mother's day, I will think of you and remember back to mother's days in the past.

I'll always miss you and believe it or not... I miss the whirlwind of chaos that always seemed to follow where ever you went.

We love the memories that we made together. You lived only 3 years after dad, but we have so many pictures and so many memories. I feel so blessed that you were able to come to our home for Christmas before your passing. You looked so beautiful mom and you had such a great time. I permanently injured my foot walking the malls, looking for the perfect Christmas sweater for you...... but your really looked great!

I'd give my right arm to see you, hug you and tell you that I love you..... right now..... I know I will have a chance in heaven.... but you know how I am with that instant gratification.... always had a hard time waiting. Maybe I would feel different if I had been able to reach you that night before you past away. But I have to let that go and trust God that what happened was for a reason. I play the message you left me almost every day. Some days I almost feel like you are going to walk out of your bedroom and ask "what's for dinner?"

Mom, I'm so sorry for the times that we were at odds with one another, but I am so happy that we were together at the end. I know that you had forgiven me for those times, now I have to forgive myself.

We'll love you always,
Lv Cindy Paul Christian and Paul

Mom,
Today marks one year since you went home to Heaven.

I thank God for giving me peace this morning. I went to bed last night praying that I would be at peace this morning on May 5th, 2008. The first thing that came to my mind when I opened up my eyes was the song by Chris Tomlin, Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone). I knew right then that was the peace I prayed for.

Mom, even though I miss you each and every day, I am so happy that you excepted Jesus Christ and are now home with him.

Until we meet again.....
Love and Miss you!!
Your daughter, Judy

April 3, 2008

Dear Mom,

One year ago today, we sat at your beside in Loma Linda University Medical Center waiting for you to be called for surgery. That day was so long and very tense. Even though you could speak, your words were coming out without making sense. Now 1 year later, I sit here and just wish I had 1 more day to hear your voice - jumbled words and all - and see your face. It has been a very hard year, a very sad year and a very long year.

As I sat on your bed on Sunday folding clothes, Paul Christian jumped up next to me and said "mom are you thinking about Babu?" I said, "yes" he then jumped up on the bed and hurried over to top of the bed and the wall where your picture is hanging, and gave you a big kiss! He said "Babu, we love you and miss you and will see you soon when we come to Heaven." We do have that Promise to hang on to.

Every time Paul Christian says something or does something I think.... mom would be putting her hand over her mouth smiling and pointing her finger at him right now. I'm so happy that God gave you those couple precious years for you to be with Paul Christian. Those years were so special, you will never know just how special. Paul Christian loves you so much and talks about you all the time. That is a testimony to how special the time was to him and ultimately to me.

We are coming up on the anniversary of your death. May 5th seems like yesterday sometimes but then again at other times, so long ago.

We love you and miss you mom. I am sorry if I ever failed you as a daughter and one day I will be able to see you again and what a happy day that will be.

Love Cindy

You will never be completely happy on earth simply because you were not made for earth.
Oh, you will have moments of joy. You will catch glimpses of light. You will know moments or even days of peace. But they simply do not compare with the happiness that lies ahead.

Mom, It brings me such peace knowing how happy you are in Heaven. But, I still miss you!!!!

Dear Mom,

I haven't been able to write my thoughts down recently as I have been so unbelievably busy. We didn't even have a birthday party at the house for Paul Christian this year. He had one at school with his class of 60, with a jumper, pizza and the heat. Remember how long we've been talking about going to the Wild Animal Kingdom-since 2005! He received that as a gift and we went the weekend after his birthday. He loved it and wants to go back. We will probably go back first part of the year.

He is loving his preschool and doing so well.

Mom, Thanksgiving was really hard without you here. I listened to your last voice message that you left the night before you passed away. It is always a sensitive moment for me.

Thank you for being so special with Paul Christian. He really misses you and talks about you all the time. He wants to get another dog... a bigger dog... and name it Babu. Bigger dog... bigger hole in the screen door.... I dont think so.

I'm still going through your things, I wear your earrings every day. I'm going to the nursing home where you passed away and I going to ask them to call me when your room is empty. I just want to go sit in there for awhile.

Mom, I dont think it is any secret that I was under a tremendous stress when you were at our house. But I would love to have that stress again. Everytime I go into you bedroom I see you head pop up off the bed and you saying "ByBy Paul Christian, have a good day with Grandma" I miss that mom. I hope I can be as special as you were to Paul Christian to my grandchildren.

I'm missing buying you Christmas presents. And fighting with Rusty and Judy over who is getting you over the holidays. It was Judy's turn this year.

Mom, Kim goes to your grave for me and places flowers on your headstone. I'm still trying to get dad up there with you but dont know if I will ever succeed. Kim is taking a picture of you grave and going to send it to me. I know you dont like flowers but these are fake... OK. No smell!

Over Thanksgiving I was thinking...51 years ago you were having your 1st Thanksgiving with me and in 51 years this is my first Thanksgiving without you. That's pretty profound, but really reflective of the life cycle... that in my opinion stinks!

I love you mom and know you are eating the best food from the grandest table with your own teeth. How selfish of me to want you back here, I just need to make sure that Paul, Paul Christian and I make it up to you one day.

Did you see Paul Christian's Christmas program. He sung his little heart out. I told him to sing loud so Babu could hear...... He sang loud but was also a little busy body up in front turning and talking to all his friends. I just told him how proud I was of him and how great he did.

I love you mom and I'm missing you every day despite the absence of entry in your Guest Book. Forgive me. I love you and actually laughed when I pulled two plates from the cupboard that were so stuck together from waffle syrup. I miss you and actually wish you were here to get that sticky syrup everywhere. I'd love to see a half filled yogurt container under your bed or a wade of tissue paper under the couch cushion.

Christmas must be spectacular in Heaven, please sing Paul Christian's favorite song... Silent Night. Come to him in a dream to let him know you are with God. Come to me in a dream so I can see you one more time on this earth. Merry Christmas

Since Christ lives within you ,even though your body will die because of sin,your spirit is alive because you have been made right with God. Romans 8:10

When we accept Christ, we are given eternal life. This does not prevent the death of our body, but it does assure true life with him in heaven forever. Is that not the life that counts the most?

Mom, Through Christ I will be able to see you again.
God is my strength!
Missing you!!!

Hi Mom,

What an eventful summer this has been. Kim sent me the following information that I wanted to include in "Your" book. I love you and dad:

Hi hope this finds you doing well and your household adjusting to school. My mom is here for a couple of weeks and we went to the cemetery this past Saturday and went walking we found your mom and placed some tiny flowers by her name. I wanted you to know that I will put some there when I go see my dad and Mr. Martin. Talk soon kim

How sweet was that mom.... you will never be forgotten....

Paul Christian is asking about you more and more. He still wants to go to Heaven and just visit you. He promises he will come back afterwards.

This summer has been very stressful, mostly from work. We went to Minn which was very, very beautiful. Just prior going to see Judy/family, the Joint Commission came out for a validation survey. Two weeks after returning to work, they made another unannounced visit based on a complaint from one of our staff. Their visits are very draining and are all consuming of time. Hopefully, we will be free of them for awhile.

I was going up to Rusty's this weekend to help sort out your storage. Rusty has a lot on his plate and we decided to postpone until things settle down.

Every night I go home and listen to your last phone call to me. I wish I could have reached you when I called you back that night. Even though I had talked to you earlier, I wish I had talked to you to find out what was on your mind.

Paul Christian is in preschool. His teacher told me he kissed a little girl in his class. All I could do is laugh because all he has even known is to kiss the people you love and like. He tells me every night "mama, I love you and I like you." My baby is growing up. He told me that when I answer him with just a "yes" that he does not like that answer because it makes him "nervous" Oh boy, he has gotten his temper from his dad and his nerves from his mom poor child!

You have been gone almost 5 months. It seems like yesterday I was making your "Sleepy Time" Tea. I really miss you mom but I am happy that you are in Heaven where there is no sorrow or pain. I am so happy that you can see Eddie, Baba, Ted and dad; and all your friends who have gone before you. I'm sure that you and Paul's mom are chatting and having a wonderful time talking about Paul Christian.

I'm trying to be brave and strong both and know that you are happy. I realize this is part of life and that you are in a much better place than Yucaipa, Clovis or Eden Prairie.

Hi Mom,
The 5th of every month I find myself counting how many months it has been since I have heard your voice. I sure miss you!
I had to laugh yesterday thinking back to the 4th of July you spent with us going to EP's big 4th party at the lake. I love the picture I have of you wearing that red, white, and blue hat that was almost as tall as you, along with your flasing red, white and blue beads.
The other day I was going through old photos. I came across one of us together. WOW, you looked amazing! I started counting up the years, you were 48 and I was 23. I got up with the photo and went to the mirror thinking alright being 48 might not be so bad. Well, my 48 years don't look like your 48 years did. How did you do it with 8 kids and all those animals and still look like that. While looking at the photos it brought back such wonderful memories of my early 20's. You were not only my mother, but my BEST friend. Mom, we had such good times together! One night really sticks out in my head. That was the night we went and saw On Golden Pond in that old Lafayette theater. I remember we were going to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out until we decided to go home and cook our favorite secret meal....Beef hot dogs and brussel sprouts. I remember eating that dinner with you like it was yesterday. It was so good! I have so many special memories. Thank you for the memories.
You are in my thoughts everyday.
I love you and will never stop counting.

Dear Mom,

Here it is July 3rd, time goes by so quickly. I am taking a few days off for some mental health.... I find myself consumed with feelings of failure right now... failure as a professional, failure as a daughter, failure as a wife and failure as a mother. I told Judy today that I feel like a tsunami of grief has hit me. Isn't that strange, because it has been two months since you past and I know that I should be coming to grips with this. It is almost like a delayed response..... now when have you known me to have a delayed response to anything. Usually, I'm right on it addressing issues as they arise. I know I will see you and dad again, thank God for that. I know that this will pass and i will get better. Hopefully this suffocation of feelings of failure will go soon too. Oh did I mention I was on yet another diet which will probably end as all others have.

The big news is Paul Christian is in "big boy" underwear for 4 days. We finally just said - no more. He is very upset because it takes too much time to go potty and his schedule is just so busy you know.... but he is doing great. As you know though, his attitude just wears me out. I wonder where he gets his strong will from??????? As we look to the sky and watch fire works, I will be thinking of you having the grandest party, independence celebration of all.

Your room is pretty much the same. I have your portrait ready to hang right above the head of your bed. I wish I could hug and kiss you one more time.... right now. Please visit me in my dreams, I really need to see your face, even if it is a dream. I love you now and always.

Love Cindy

Dear Mom,

This has been the hardest week that I have ever had here at the VA. With so much going on I can't believe my mind is so focused on you. I went in and smelled you sweater last night.... It smelled like you. (Dont worry... it smelled good) I just sat in your bathtub at midnight last night because I couldnt get to sleep. Nope it wasn't a "fast bath" I know Judy and Rusty are missing you so much. It is helpful to use this guest book as a journal to log my thoughts. Hopefully there will one day be just smiles when I think of you, the pain will hopefully subside one day and I will be able to remind Paul Christian of all the nice times he had with you. I remember when I came home from work and you were under the dining room table with him "in a tent" I wish I would have gotten a picture. I love you and will write next week.

Dear Mom,
The last 2 weeks have been so hectic. The Joint Commission arrived and blazed a trail that will keep me flying for several months. I finally decided that we will put the big picture of you that was at your service and on your memorial brochures over your bed. I find myself going by your room looking to see your face. This way I will be able to. I sit in your room in the rocking chair and just think. It is physcially empty but full of memories. I have a picture of you, Paul Christian and I at the park (Father's Day 2006) on your dresser. What a difference a year makes. I think Max misses you a lot. He sits in front of your door and just lays down. I've been thinking of you so much this week. Paul and I talked about you last night at dinner and he said you have been on his mind this week too. It is hard to accept but what makes it easier is knowing we will meet again some day. I pray that I can live as long as you did because of Paul Christian. Please tell the "Big Guy" that I need an extra dosing of health and particularly energy. Paul is starting school next week. He will miss one class in August so we can go back to see Judy and family. We can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to get up to see Rusty & Aunt Darlene & Uncle Gene soon. I hope we can do that by October. I love you and miss you, tell Dad hi and that I love him too. I have saved your last message on our message machine. I listen to it all the time and am having trouble believing you are gone. Yesterday I was outside with PC and he handed me a "pretend gun" and told me that I was going to jail to get on the back of his motorcycle. I thought of you and just knew the expression you would have had on your face and I smiled. We still sit at our dinner table together but your chair is empty and I miss you being there! I love you mom and will see you one day ..... down the road.

I miss you Aunt Jan and have fond memories of our visits when you were recovering from your surgery here. I remember you sending you caregiver across the street for glazed donuts every Saturday afternoon and smile as I picture you eating two of them faster than I could have managed to eat one.

Hi Mom,
Your in my thoughts everyday!
I wish I could pick up our phone and call you, to tell you ...WE ARE BACK TO A PARTY OF 4...it is wonderful and amazing!!!
Andrew and Austin are really getting into golfing. That gives me a lot of alone time. That alone time gives me time to think about you. I miss you! I talked to Paul Christian today. He was busy putting SUGAR on his Fruit loops, They already have sugar on them. Your love of sugar must of rubbed off on him. I am looking so forward to seeing him in August. I know this must seem silly writing little notes to you, but it helps me. I miss you so much! and love you so much too.
I can hear your voice saying same....

Dear Mom,
I'm exhausted, but you probably know that..... The Joint Commission is here this week and I have been running. I find myself, very sad... mostly after everyone has gone to bed. I'm not sad for you, I'm happy for you. I'm so sad because several times this week I have reached for my telephone to call you after work and then remembered that you are not with us any more. I didn't realize how much I did call you and how much our telephone calls meant to me. I have to hold on to the peace of salvation and know that you are indeed the happiest you have ever been. That brings a smile to my face after the tears of missing you have flowed. Paul Christian says "Mama, are you crying for Babu again?" I say, "yes, I just miss her" He says "mommy, she is in my heart." Mom thank you so much for being so special with Paul Christian. He misses you so much, but isn't sad because of his innocence. We will all see you someday. Love you

I miss you! Everyday at 2 pm I walk to the phone to call you. It is so painful not being able to call and chat everyday. I am so thankful for that last phone call we had on May 4th. With everything you said to me it does bring me peace to know you are with our Lord. I bet you have that robe on too.
Andrew and Austin were looking at the two photo albums of your visit to Minnesota. They were cracking up when the came across the photo with you wearing the Raider cap. You were really a trooper back her in Minnesota from holding the fish the boys caught to attending our late night S'more parties in your PJ's. We will hold all those memories so close to our heart forever. Mom, I love you!

Dear Mom,
I am thinking of you today because Paul, Paul Christian and I are going to the Beach this weekend. I'm remembering the times that you went with us to Dana Point for Paul Christian's 3rd birthday party and I am remembering the time you sat on Huntington Beach with your arms and ankles exposed to the sun. What a sun burn you got..... but you said, it felt good to be in the sun and a little color looked good..... well mom, you were lobster red! We miss you a lot. Paul Christian asks me if my tears are "Babu tears" It is hard to think that you are gone. But I realize that as time goes by the moments that were saved for calls to you or events with you will be filled with other calls and other events. Despite filling the void, we will always remember the fantastic moments we had with you when you would come for your visits. Those memories are priceless because Paul Christian got to know one of his grandparents. Thank you mom, we love and miss you so much.

Love Paul, Cindy and Paul Christian

I want to tell you that I am very sorry to hear about Aunt Jan's death. We were all thinking that she was doing much better. I'm sure this is a shock for you. There's not much anyone can say except I'm thankful there is a life beyond this one. Love Annette Conley.

Dear Voelker Families;
So sorry to hear of the loss of your much loved Mother. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you.
Just know that she is very close to you and remains vital in your lives and in the lives of those she loved.
Her daughter Cindy is a wonderful and loving person with talent and heart. She must have had an equally amazing Mother.

Paul Christian would like for you to be careful because he doesn't want you to CRASH! Hey mom, you dont need that driver's license anymore..... you're flying!

Love Cindy

Aunt Jan,
You were such a kind person, always thinking of other and putting them first. Every time I had some sort of catastrophe and ended up in the hospital you were there and brought me something special. We shared a common bond for loving animals, especially dogs. I will miss you and look forward to seeing you in heaven.
Your Niece,
Marti Warner

To the whole family, I am so sorry for your loss. Time seems to stand still when I think of your mom. All those great weekends and days at Clear Lake riding in the back of that station wagon, getting sick from the car fumes. Every time I pass where the Nut Tree was and drive though St. Helena pass your grandparents house I think of your family. May you find peace in time and you are in the Hines /Martin/Pickard families thoughts and prayers. Kim and family

Dear Babu,

I am so glad that I had someone so special as you as my grandmother. You were so loving with me and spoiled me at every turn. Thank you for putting up with my tantrums and for playing with me all those times. You never said no. I will miss falling asleep in your arms. Thank you also for teaching me about Jesus. I miss you with all my heart.

I love you,
