My dearest sister It has been three long years with out you. Another Birthday has come and gone for us. It just doesn't feel like a Birthday any more. You are close to my heart. I love you always and forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a gift.
I did not want this gift, it meant suffering and pain.
The pain came because of love.
A love which had manifested itself in a sister.
My sister brought her love to me and asked for my love.
Sometimes I did not understand this.
Sometimes I did not appreciate it.
Sometimes I was too busy to listen quietly to this love.
But the love persisted; it was always there.
One day my sister died.
The love remained.
This time the love came in other forms.
This time there were memories, there was sadness and anguish.
And unbelievable pain.
One day a stranger said, ‘I understand,’ and did.
You see the stranger had also been this way.
We talked and cried together.
The stranger became my friend as no other had.
My friend said, ‘I am always here,’ and was.
One day I lifted my head.
I noticed someone grieving, crying and drawn with pain.
I approached and spoke.
I touched and comforted.
I said, ‘I will walk with you,’ and did. I also had the gift.

Hi there hon,

I know that it is coming up three years since you left this earth, but just know that you have not been forgotten. You are not far from our hearts or minds, and I believe you never will be.

I am trying to stay in touch with some of your friends, and I am glad that we all are trying to keep some type of connection. It matters alot. I may have gone on with my life, but that does not mean I will forget you or anything we had together in the past.

May God continue to bless you and keep you safe. May he also be with your family and may they do some healing. They need it, and I know that I need it too.

I will write to you soon! Love you always, Lenora

Hey Sis
You are forever in our hearts. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I keep you pictur next to my desk and I speak of you often. I let people know what a kind hearted person you were. I know that you are watching over us. I hope you are at peace. All the girls scout speak of you often and they remember all the good times we had. We have a troop mascot and she is called "Spice" after you. So where we go you go. We did the father daughter event "Bowling" you should have secene Jessica she had a ball, so did Phil and Annette. We are getting ready to do the pinewood derby and you will be there, in my heart. I love you very much and miss you.

Hi babe,

This year it will be three years since you left us, and I just can't believe it. I still think about it from time to time, and I still choke up and cry. I cannot help it. I just miss you.

Life is okay, and I just trying to get along and do something with my life. Go to school, maybe buy a business. Not sure yet.

Anyway, I haven't felt too good today, so I am on my way up to bed. I have to take my Notary exam tomorrow morning. Need to be able to think straight.

May God be with you always, and always know that I will always love you.

May your soul be resting peacefully.

Love always,
Lenora

Hi Honey,

I know it has been awhile, and I have thought about writing, but I guess life gets in the way sometimes.

Another Christmas with out you is coming up, and I am sure that all of those who love and care about you are thinking about you this Christmas. I can't believe this will be the third Christmas without you! Time is flying by too fast for me.

Well, life is going okay for the most part, but there is something I have been trying to do not only for myself but for others. I and a friend are trying to purchase a bar/restaurant, but having problems with the property management company.

I figure if it is meant to be, it will happen. Not too sure what my future holds for me, but I am trying to be positive.

Anyway, went to Alaska this year in September, and it was beautiful! Breathtaking!! Actually went with nine of my friends, and we had a blast!! You knew all of these friends, and you were mentioned often! They all miss you very much! Myself included, of course.

I am going to go now, but know that I do think of you often, and I will always love you!

Please say hi to everyone in Heaven for me!!

Love always, Lenora

Hi there T,



Yes, it is me again. I know that people wonder why I keep this book going, but I hope some day they really know how much you meant to me and always will mean to me. You were a very special lady!



My life is slowly coming around, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I believe that will never change! You meant more to me than you will ever know! I loved you more than you or anyone else ever knew!! I wish I would have had a second chance to prove it!



I am now off to work, so I hope that someday we will see eachother again, and I hope that God is keeping you safe from harm!



God bless you always, my love!



I will always love you, Theresa!

Hey Theresa

There isn't a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. I miss you so much. Annette is 14 now and wow has she grown up. We talk about you often and remember all the good times we had together. You know you are everything to Annette and myself. I hope all your friends are doing well I know they miss you very much too. It has been almost two years and it feels like yesterday. I am keeping as busy as I can with work and Girl Scouts. Colette and Wes have been coming over and the kids are getting to know each other. Alivia is so adorable with her red hair. Gavin, Jessica and Austin get along pretty good.

I have to get to wrok so all write you later.

Love and God Blee You Always.

Hey Hon,



Funny how I know life goes on, and how I am living life to the fullest, which is what you would have wanted. The only difference is that I really loved you deeply, and wished I could have really shown you how much I loved you the way you deserved it. I am glad I have been able to keep this memorial guest book going, not only for myself, but for others who want to send you a note letting you know they are thinking of you and how much they really miss you! That is true friendship and love!!



All is well on the home front, and I guess getting better with time. Just was thinking of you today and wanted to let you know so!



I hope in time that some people can let go of the anger and pain, and remember the good times and everything good there was about you and your life!! You were one in a million!!



Well, I will drop another line to you again in the near future.



May God continue to bless you and your soul, and until we meet again someday, I will always love you! No one can or will despute that!!



Love always, Lenora

What a surprise it was to see that this is still here. And to see so many posts from one person! I am honoring you by experiencing as much as I can, living life to the fullest and loving as deeply as possible. Life goes on and although you are no longer here physically, you are in my heart. Thank you for touching me as no one has ever before. You are in my heart, a part of my soul, and always on my mind.

Hi Babe,



I know it has been awhile, but I have been a busy beaver!! I never forgot about you, though. You have always been on my mind.



Life has been up and down, but I am surviving! I know that not a day goes by that I don't think of you.



I hope that God is watching over your soul, and I hope to see you again someday!! You were an inspiration to alot of people, and I myself have you to thank for alot of things in my life, past and present!!



I hope to send you another note soon, so for now I will say may your soul rest in peace, and someday we will be together!! I really still believe that!!



I will always love you!!



Love, Lenora

Hi Hon,



I know it has been awhile since I last wrote you, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you.



Life has a way of wearing on you from time to time, but you just have to muddle through it, I guess.



I am doing okay, trying to keep busy, but I am hoping this will be a good year for me. I am wanting to change jobs and make a fresh new start!! I takes time, but I know I can do it!!



Anyway, just remember that you will never be forgotten by those who truly loved you!! You were a good person with a big heart! I will never forget how I have learned from you! I take those things with me every day of my life!!



Well, I have to get ready for work, but I will try to send another letter to you soon!!



May God bless you always, and until we meet again, you will always be in my heart and soul!!



I love you always and forever!

Hi Babe,



Well, another Thanksgiving has passed without you being around to enjoy it with the rest of us. The holiday's are the hardest time of the year, because we used to have so much fun during the Christmas holiday season! I miss those days!



I saw someone recently, and spoke about you with them. They made me feel more at ease and accepting about the past. They said that you loved me, and there was no doubt. I took comfort with that. I will always love you!



I will talk with you sometime soon, so for now God Bless you, and always remember we will be together again someday!



Love always, Lenora

Lady T,

It has been some time since your passing and only now am I finaly getting word of it. Shocked and sad are the only words I have to describe what I feel when I hear of what has been lost forever: Your smile, your laughter, your dedication to your work. It feels like just yesturday I was a new kid on the Depot block and you were showing me the ropes. It feels like 5 minutes ago I had stopped into the new Oakland Depot to say hello to everyone and saw you on the phone. I wanted to hug you but I didn't want to disturb you while you worked. So I smiled and winked at you. I see now that sometimes, a wink and a smile just aren't enough. And I am sorry. I wish I could talk football with you. I wish I could talk Depot with you. I wish I could pick-on Carla some more and make you laugh (you always loved that). I wish I could go back 12 years and sit at the break room table with the old gang: Me, you, Monica, Paul, Holly, and all the others. Laughing, flirting, and hating our jobs! Yes, the good ole' days! Until we see one another again...



Always your friend,

Michaelicious

Hi Honey,



I know it has been awhile since I last made an entry, but alot has been going on. I have not forgotten you, and I hope you know that. I never will forget!!



I have been doing a lot of soul searching, and I feel at peace with alot from the past. I think you know my heart. I never stopped loving you, not for a second!!



I want you to know that I have found someone, and she is a wonderful soul! Knows all about you and is very supportive on how I still feel, and how I will always feel! She does not want to take that away from me, and I am truly blessed by this!



Anyway, the holidays are coming up, and of course I think about the wonderful Christmas's we had together in the past, but also remembering the future one's to come with my new partner. I have to stay focused on that too! I know you know that!



Well, I have to go for now but I will try to send another message to you again soon! Continued peace to your soul, and I know that we will see eachother again someday!



God Bless you and I will always love you! Love, Lenora

Hi Babe,



Just relaxing at home tonight, and thought I would write you a quick note. I miss you very much!!!!



Work is fine, but I want more. I don't like the drama at work. I want peace and quite, and I am not going to get it were I am at. So, I hope to see a new beginning real soon!



Nothing has changed in my life, and I guess for the most part I am doing okay. I enjoy time by myself. It is peaceful for a change.



Well, I will talk with you again soon, and just remember I love you and think about you every day.



God Bless you always!



Loving you, Lenora

I love and miss you so much. I think of you everyday. I still have your pictures every where and talk to them as well. You know everything has changed so much. Annette is getting so big, starting 8th grade on Monday Aug. 15, 2005.

We went on a trip this past weekend to Sutter Creek, went to the gold mine and they found stones of all types. Renassance fare and all that. The Girls loved it. I wish you were there for the scavanger hunt we did. Our girls won!!!!!



I can't wait to be with you . Say hi to Daddy, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and all the rest for me.

T-

You have been on my mind alot lately. I still wear the charm you bought me, its on the bracelet I wear every day. Never take off birthday present you gave me for my 43rd. I still laugh when I think of Helen misreading the charm I gave you..."wise" she said and we both cracked up. God I miss you. I know there will be a day when I will see you again. Until then know that you are my "wise" and know the words on your charm are written on my heart also. I'll carrying on until we meet again.

Love,

Hi Honey,



Well, I am up a little early this morning and had breakfast with Uncle John, which is unusual for me, since I work so late at night, but I enjoyed it. Saw Julie this morning at Hill's, and we decided to go to Nevada for the day. Leaving in a little while. I remember you loved going to Nevada to see your family there. Those were happy times.



Anyway, life is going along as usual. Nothing has changed,yet. It will someday I am sure. I miss you very much. I still think about you every day. I miss your laugh and smile. I hope someday to see and hear all that again.



Well, I am going to go take a nap so I can drive to Nevada this afternoon, so I just wanted you to know that your still in my heart and soul, and always will be, no matter who else comes along. God Bless you babe, and I love you very much.

Hi Babe,



Going to the Alameda County Fair today with the girls and a few other friends. Got a redwood plaque to put on the new Trailer at Sugerpine, which reads, Rainbow Bluff. I think you would have liked it. The girls love the plaque and they love the trailer. I made a good decision.



Anyway, just plugging along working hard all the time. I have to have someone take my shows from me every once in awhile so I can enjoy life a bit longer. Trying to go to "Rainbow Bluff" as often as possible to unwind and think!! It's okay, but Sugarpine will always be our home away from home.



Well, I am going to finish my coffee and get ready for the fair, so I will be checking in soon. I love and miss you very much!!



God Bless you always!

Hi honey,



I know that it has been over a year now since you left us, but it still feels fresh. I still miss you very much. I know your birthday just passed, but I don't look at it as a happy birthday, because it is not as far as I am concerned.



I am plugging along and just went to Rainbow Ridge this last weekend, and it was nice spending time with the girls. Jacquie and Jessica and Liz and Fran came to my show this last Friday night to support me, and I guess we all needed support that night. We all miss you sooooooo much!!



I have a travel trailer up in the mountains, that I think you would have liked. It is a place to go when I need time to myself. I love the quiet and the sound of the stream and birds in the background. Beautiful!! I have your picture in the trailer, making it ""ours"".



Well, honey, I will be checking in with you soon, so remember I love you very much, and miss you very much always!!



Loving you, Lenora

Annette and I talk of you often and of all the good times we had together. She keeps your picture in her room. I know that you are with us in spirit. We miss you so much.

We are managing to get on with our lives with out you. Never a day goes by that we don't think about you or at least talk about you.

You are my everything and will always be in my heart. I can't wait until I see you agian.

I love you forever by best friend.

Hi Babe,



Have been under the weather lately, and am not sure why. I have just been staying home as much as possible, and not going out as much. Oh well, such is life.



Spoke with Jackie and Jessica the other day, and they are doing okay. Your friend Mary called me a couple of weeks ago, and we reminiced about the good old days. We all miss you soooo much.



Life is going along okay, and I am happy being alone at this time in my life. It feels good. I just feel like staying home or going out from time to time with friends. Nothing exciting. That is okay with me!



Well, I am getting tired so I am going to close for now, but I will send another note to you soon. I love you very much still and always will. Nothing can change that. I will see you in the future, and we will then be together again!!



God Bless your soul always, and until we see eachother again, remember I love you!

Hello Sis



Well we made it back from Chicago. John is now 21 and he said this was the best birthday he has had. We did alot of things with him while we were there. He lives in a real nice house with two room mates. His landlord is a real nice lady and realy likes John. They were so nice to us and we stayed at his place.



John is turning into quite the cook.

I wish you could have been there for his birthday, after all you are his godmother. I know you were in our hearts while we went to the baseball games. We has such a nice time. Chicago is a nice place and so is Milwakee. Miller Park is awsome you should have seen it.



I spoke to Holly and John the otherday and we talked about all the good times I had with you. You were always my pick me up person. Never a bad person and always liked to have fun. I miss your laughter and smile. But I keep picturs of our last Christmas together on my wall at work. We had so much fun fighting over my Rusty Wallace jackets. We were laughing so hard when we were both in the same jacket that our faces are red.



I hope you are at peace now. I think of you everyday, I miss you and know that one day we will be together agian. Keep an eye on all of us like you have been. I feel you around us from time to time.



Love and God Bless You

Hi Babe,



Just got home from work and am very tired. I have been pretty sick for the last few weeks, but trying to get better. Drinking lots of water!



Anyway, things are coming together little by little! About 85% in my new place. I like being alone. Not interested in really going out and meeting anyone for friendship or more. Content right now.



My family is doing okay. Hanging in there. My nephew is within the top of his Navy military class in intelligence! Smart boy!!



I guess here in a little while I am going to go to line dancing lessons at B Street, but not sure yet. I am comfy here at home. Oh well!!



Well hon, I am going to let you go for now, but I will talk with you again soon, and I think you know home much I continue to love you, and always will. You are still my heart and soul!



God Bless you always, and someday we will be together again!! I love you forever and always!

John will be 21 next week I can't beleive it. Where did the time go. It had been almost a year sense you left us and I still can't beleive you are gone. You are in my heart and I can feel you watching us. Lettle things happen that remind us of you and we smile telling each other that "T" is with us. I hope all your friends are getting along in life.



I am flying to Chicago to see John for his birthday. He has made many planes for Phil and I to do with him. We are hoping that John will move back here in August or September.



I have to go to work for now so I'll get back to you later.



You will always live in my heart.

Hello babe,



Well, just sitting around waiting to go to work, and drinking some coffee to wake me up. I have had problems sleeping lately, and I know that I shouldn't.



I have been thinking alot about you lately, which is nothing new, but I guess since one year since you left this earth is coming up, maybe that is why, I don't know. It has been real hard.....



Anyway, spending alot of time by myself, and I like it. I can think. Everyone is worried about me, but I tell them to stop. I just need time to think about everything in my life. It has not been easy. It takes time, I guess.



Well, I have to get going for now, but I will write again soon. I love you very much. Always and forever!!



God Bless always!

Hi Hon,



I have been sick for a week and a half, but slowly getting better with the medication the doctor gave me. It knocked me on my butt!!



Just sitting back today and relaxing, and waiting for my cousin to come over and bring me my dinner. She has been so nice about taking care of me.



Going on vacation in about a month and a half to see my family in Vegas. It has been over two years too long. I need a break desperately!!!



Well, honey, been thinking about you and missing you very much. I go through life just trying to survive and so far I have been just surviving. I lost my boss from the bar I work at just recently, and it has been hard losing so many people in less than a year.



Anyway, I will send you another note real soon. Going to go lay down now. Not feeling very well.



God bless you honey!! Loving you always.

Hi Babe,



Sitting back tonight trying to get over a nasty cold I got earlier this week. Missed some time at work, but trying to get better fast, due to having to work this weekend.



Still alot to do here getting settled in to my new place, but enjoying the time alone. Getting ready to pay my first months mortgage, and I am a little nervous. I guess it is natural. Lots of other household bills to pay, but I guess all of this starts the cycle in owning your own home.



Well, baby, I am going to get ready for bed, but you are never far from my thoughts, and I miss you every day. I will love you forever and always.



God bless you always.

Sure do miss you! I plan on blowing up a picture of us and putting it in the master bedroom on my dresser! You are a big part of why I am were I am now!! I will thank you always!!



I want you to continue to know that I will always love you, and know that I learned so much from you in our past together!! It will always stay with me!



Getting ready to go to work, so God Bless your soul and I will talk with you later!!

Hey Babe,



Alot has been happening, as far as getting moved into my new home, and it is all because of you it has happened. I would give it all back if it meant having you back with or without me on this earth!!



Anyway, I have so much to do, and I am hoping to move into my new home within a couple of weeks. It is overwhelming, but I need my space! I plan on becoming a hermit for awhile after I move in!! I need it badly!! You are a big part of my new home, and as far as a love life, it is nill right now. Not interested really in anyone, and I am happy that way right now.



I still think about all the good times we had together, and how I wish we could do it all over again! I loved waking up to you each morning!! I loved camping, and going up to the cabin with the girls!! Those were some good times! Our trip to Coos Bay in Oregon was a trip to remember!! They are all in my memory forever!!



Well, honey, I will keep in touch as much as possible, but always know you are and will always be a part of my life, because you were my life, heart and soul!!



God Bless you always!



I love you very much and always will! Love, Lenora

Hey Sis

You have been on my mind a lot and I just wanted to tell a little of what has been happening. March 18,19 & 20 was Snow Camp, I made it through camp with out you, and a lot happened. We had a lot of snow fall, I burned my arm, put a band-aid on it to protect it and kept on working. The kids enjoyed the food we served. They kept telling us how good the food was. I missed working with you by my side, all the laughter we shared in the kitchen. My new staff were fun to work with, but they could not replace you. Annette went to Doge Ridge and sow boarded and had a blast. I was told she was a natural at snow boarding. They have added your camp name to mine so now I am call Sugar & Spice. When we were driving to pine crest Annete was talking about the good time she had with you at Liz and Frn's place. By the way I gotten real good at driving in the snow and using 4-wheel drive. This was the first snow camp that we go so much snow. I had at least 6 inches on the top of my jeep. I was so beautiful and Annette has got a good arm when it comes to throwing the snow balls. She must take after you, cause I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I love and miss you. Give averyone my best, Tell I see you agian, you loving sister.

T-

Thank you for giving me the strength to move forward in my life. After you last came to me I knew it was time to fully live life again. I know you have been with me and guided me the entire time. Because of you I have found love and happiness again. At times I see parts of you in her and she tells me that she finds parts of Nancy (her partner who also has passed)in me. You are with me daily. I still miss the times we had together, coming home to you after a long day at work, bowling on Mondays, falling asleep in your arms at night when we were "watching TV", our grumbling in the morning when the alarm went off, all of it... it was all too short. I know we will be reunited again. Until then...

It's count down time for COE on the Townhome! I have so many family and friends who are looking so forward to a house warming party and a "work party" to spiff up the place!!



Well, my life is going okay and it will be looking much better once I move! I need my space and time to myself!! I want to be a hermit for awhile!! I guess that is understandable!!!



Anyway, I just wanted to send another little note to you letting you know how much I still miss you and love you!



God bless your soul, and until we meet again someday, see ya later!!

Hello Babe,



Well, everthing is going okay for the most part, just staying busy with life itself. Should have my own place in about three weeks. I plan on making alot of changes in my life after this new change. Eating better, excersing and just plain vegging out! I have not been the same for over two years, and I know that I need to get my life back little by little. It's hard, but I know that you want me to do it!



Well, have to get to work, so God Bless your soul and I will talk to you later. I love you very much!



Love ya, Lenora

Hey Hon,



Well, still plugging along, trying to find a home. It is a long process, but I know that when it's right, it's right. I hope this most recent find will work out. Only time will tell!



Well, another birthday has gone by, and I don't mind getting older, but I know that you are not here to share it with me. Our good friends have been there, but it is not the same. I ran into some of our friends recently, who I have not seen in recent months, so it was so nice to kick back with them and reminice about the old days. How we all miss you very much!!!



I know that you are out there still, because I still feel you. I want to do right by you, and I know that I will!!!! You were my rock, and still ARE my rock!!



I will talk with you soon babe, so know that I love you and always will!! Loving you always, Lenora

Hi Babe,



Things are going okay. Had a very relaxing weekend with the "Girls", and we went to the Home and Garden Show in Pleasanton and looked around for things I will need for my new place. Too much to do!!



I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! Busy, busy, busy!!! Anyway, just keeping busy and hoping to slow down reaaaaaal soon!!!



Well, thinking about how to fix up the new place, and I have a few ideas that I know you would of liked! You will be a big part of the decorating process! You are always on my mind!



I have to get back to work, but know that I am thinking about you and I love you very much and always will! God Bless You!



Loving you always, Lenora

Hi Hon,



Well, alot is happening! I have purchased a nice townhome in the area, and will be moving within the next month! I am going to decorate it in southwestern, and you are going to be a big part of it!! Life is going slow for me, but fast at the same time. I am as busy as ever, but I want to slow life down a bit soon!!



Anyway, thinking of you every day. Hoping God is taking care of you and making sure that you are safe! I love you still very much, and that won't ever change!



God bless you always, and I will see you in the future!

Hi Babe,



It's me again! Just plugging along today and getting ready for my karaoke weekend! Talked with some of your friends this week, and I am going to join a bowling league this winter! I need to get back into it again! Whirl wants us to be in a karaoke contest in a couple of weeks, so that will be fun.!



Well, I have to get back to work, so know that I am always thinking of you and that I love you very much! God Bless you!

Hi Hon,



I am not sure of what to really say, but to say that I still miss you every day. My world has not been the same since you have been gone, and it is hard to move on. The girls and I plan on going to Rainbow Ridge next month for my birthday! I felt it was time to go up to the one place we both loved so very much! The four of us made it very special, and the deck that you and Liz built just serves of a reminder of the love we all shared together! It is the first time I have been up there since you have been gone, and it will be hard, but I have to do it. I will have to remember our times there, and not be saddened by it! There are too many good times to do that.



Anyway, my love, may God continue to keep you safe and at peace. Til we meet again, just know that I will always love you. You were my rock!



Loving you always, Lenora

Hi Hon,



It has been a couple of weeks since I have written, but you are never far from my thoughts. No one knows how much we meant to eachother but us, and OUR closest friends! Times got tough, but I knew in time we could endure, but I guess God had other plans. I know that you are still with us and with me, because I felt you last night, and I felt comforted. I know that someday we will be together again like we should be, I really feel that! I will talk with you again soon, my love, but until then I know that you know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. We all miss you terribly! I will always love you! HBBoo!! Loving you always, Lenora

Its been 7 months. I know you want me to go on with my life but I find it difficult to move on. Tell what it takes to let you go. Tell me how to carry on. Tell me I'll make it without you. It hurts so much sometimes its almost like I'm hearing it again for the first time. Tell me how the pain is supposed to go. I don't know where to start. Is there anyone that can understand as well as you? Show me the way T...Tell me it will be okay...God how I miss you. I still love you, how can I let that go?

Hi Hon,



Well, it is a new year, but it doesn't make things any easier being without you around all of us. My life has changed somewhat, but not as much as people would think. I think about you every day, and I feel you around me from time to time. It is comforting at times, but on the other hand it hurts to know that you are not there physically. You were an inspiration to me, and I continue to still do alot of things I used to do before, things you taught me, good or bad! I am not ready to go on with my life, as far as finding a life partner, but I know that that is what you would want me to do, when I am ready. Noone would compare to you, and so it will be hard to find someone even close. It will happen someday, I know, but it won't be easy. Anyway, I will talk with you again soon, so God Bless you and just know that I love you very much, and always will!! Love Me!

Auntie,

It was hard to have the kids open their presents and not have any from you. I have pictures of the kids opening thier presents from you last year. I was waiting for a phone call from you on Christmas morning like you always did, then I started to cry because I wasn't going to get that call. I wish you were here so I could talk to you and tell you how everything is going. I miss you and I love you. God Bless you!!

Christmas has come and gone. I had a very bad day on the 24th, but you should know. I feel you around me. I have your picture at my desk at work and in my living room at home. I talk to you, but I don't get any answers. I hope you are at peace now. Remmeber you'll always be in my heart. I miss you and can't wait to be with you. Take care and God Bless You.

I Love You

I dreamt of you the morning of the 24th. In my dream you were living in Oregon. You were happy. It was one of the happiest dreams I have had in a long, long time. But all my happiness was crushed when I awoke and realized it was just a dream. I know that you decided to come to me on our anniversary to tell me that you are happy now. Maybe you are trying to tell me to go on with my life. How can I when I still miss you so terribly? When you still come to me at night? I will try though because I know that is what you want me to do...to be happy like you are now. Thank you for sending me the message, it came through loud and clear. It will be hard, but I know you will be there with me every step of the way.

Love,

Michelle

Hi Honey,



I know that Christmas is upon us, and it won't be the same without you, ever!! The cookie party was a success, and the "girls" gave me a beautiful ornament frame with our picture in it, so I will always have you with me at Christmas time hanging on the tree, or mantel, etc... It is gorgeous!! Anyway, our buddy Whirl had a wonderful bowling series the other night, and he is so proud, and he knows you were with him!! Hi Five!!! Well, alot is going on in my life, but you are never far from my thoughts and prayers, always know that!! You will always be the light of my life, and we will be together someday! God Bless you and keep you safe and at peace! I will love you always!

Hi Sis,

I have to tell you how I felt your wonderful presence with me while bowling league last night. (smile) I bowled my best last evening and I couldn't do anything wrong as I could hear you then, as I heard in the past "Go With The Flow". And every strike was like a well oiled machine in motion.



So as the Holidays is upon us, I so badly want to pick up the phone or come by for a visit to talk and laugh again with you over dinner. You'll always be with me from this holiday on. I know it isn't the same with you not being here with me, but your spirits, laughter and presence still holds a warm place within my heart.



I even went by the old Home Depot (San Leandro) and right away, a laughter came to mind thinking of you. (How I went to the desk complaining about product and you calling security to get me out of the store) LOL



But it's not a moment that goes by that I'm not thinking of you. (I miss you so much, dear)



Love you always

Hey Sis

You know I've been thinking of you so much. It's hard to face everyday knowing that I can't just pick up the phone and talk to you. I am lost with out you. You are the other half of me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't question why you are gone. We are getting ready for snow camp with the girl scouts. Cooking in the kitchen will not be the same without you. We had so much fun the last time. Remember how hard we worked when the pipes broke and we had not water. We stayed up late laughing with all the crew. The holidays are here and I have our pictures from last Christmas out so you will be with us. I love you and miss you.

Hi Babe,



It's me again! Some of our friends got together the other day and reminiced about the old days and how much fun we used to have! I know that life goes on, but it's hard to go on when someone you cared about for so long is gone, and a piece of yourself goes with them, my heart and soul!! Anyway, I have been keeping myself busy and boy am I busy! Everything at B Street is going good, and I have found a home there! I have a couple of parties coming up, and I am getting myself prepared for the New Year! I just need to have this year over with so I can maybe clear my head a little more and try to move a little forward with my life. You are greatly missed, and I keep in contact with alot of your friends and we all think of you every day. This Christmas and New Year will not be the same without you, I think you know that. Well, we will chat again soon, so rest in peace and know that you will always be with me forever! I love you!

Hi, Auntie



It's me Colette. It's almost Christmas and I really don't want it to come around because there are so many people not around this year that I really miss a lot. I wish you were here. I love you! I think about you all the time and I wish that I spent more time with you then I did. I have a few things of yours that remind me of the first time that I went out on Grandpa's boat with you and you taught me how to knee board because I was to chicken to learn how to water ski. I will learn now that I am older and I will learn with your ski's. My birthday was last month and I was waiting for you to call me and tell me happy birthday. I really missed that call. Life just isn't the same without you. I miss you so much. I love you!

Well, the cookie baking party is coming up soon, and I know we would be getting ready for it, and I know that we would be buying presents for our families, and just enjoying eachother's company. This is hard for me, but I know that I will have you with me forever! My family misses you, and so do the "girls". Our baby girl is doing fine, but I am sure she misses you very much. My thoughts are always with you, and I know that we will be together someday, because I have always felt you were my soulmate! God bless you, and just remember I love you very much!

Theresa,



Oh so many evenings we've talked and how I still look at the clock at a certain time, expecting to hear your voice. As well, not a moment goes by with me driving by the area of your residence wanting to stop by to laugh with both you and Helen.



And for as long as we've talked and about all the things we both were experiencing, I know I promised to keep it sealed. But just as you told me, use it when I had to, and that I will.



You honestly were like the sister I didn't have and for the time we've known one another, I still only see and know you as my DW baby. (smile)



Rest in peace and know always the love we had for one another will live on forever until we meet again.

Robin and Jennifer are having there first Christmas together in there new house, and "our" truck is doing fine! Our tree we got in 2002 is being displayed at B Street and looks beautiful!! I wish you could see it, in fact I am sure you do! Anyway, knowing that you loved me will keep me going this holiday season and beyond!! I wear my ring all the time, because it brings me comfort and peace. The "girls" think of you often, and just know that we all love you very much, and we will all be together again someday!

Today I am remembering our day a year ago in Reno. We walked around Sparks commenting on the houses in the neighborhood, telling each other which ones we liked and which ones weren't for us. I had told you that you had to wait until 11:26 to wish me happy birthday and you waited. I had told you that the trip to Reno was my present, but you didn't listen. At 11:30 you stopped me and handed me a small box. I cried and hugged you, you told me you loved me. It was the best birthday of my life. I wear your present everyday and will until the day I no longer walk this earth. I miss you.

Lenora Almadova

December 5, 2004

Well, it's the holiday's and all I can say is that it is not the same without you and never really will be again. I think you know how much fun we used to have this time of year with family and friends, and how much love was shared between us. No one knows that better than we did. You are always on my mind and my whole life revolves around how I will ever find someone that would even come close to you; mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I love you with all my heart, and I know that you know that. I have felt you visit me a few times in the last 5 1/2 months and I just smile! My hope is that all is well with you and that you are at peace and we will see eachother again someday!! You meant the world to me, and I know you knew that too!! God bless your soul and say hi to the family!!



I will always love you! Lenora

God continue to wrap his arms around you and keep you peaceful. I will always love you!

Not one day goes by that I don't think of all the good times we had together, and what we could have had in the future. I believe there would have been a future for us, and I will always cherish that fact, and of course all our wonderful memories together. I find it hard to move on in alot of ways, but I know that is what you would have wanted, so that is what I keep thinking about. May God spare your soul, and I know someday we will be together! You were my heart and soul, you know that!! Loving you always, Lenora

Its been three months since you left us. The shock that you are not with us any longer is fading, but the pain is still as sharp as ever. It feels like one step forward and two steps back. The day we met is just around the corner, I wish you were here so that we could remember together.

Auntie Theresa,

I think about you all the time and wonder why this had to happen. I love and miss you so much. I have a picture of you and Auntie Nina by my bed so that I see you everyday. It's been really hard for me to cry since this has happened. I guess I just don't want to deal with the fact that your gone. You were my favortie Aunt and were to be my daughters God Mother. If I ask Jessica about you she says "She was going to be my God Mother but, now she can't" I tell her that she will always be your God Mother in her heart. She says "I know" I love you and tell Grandpa that I love and miss him too. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. May God take good care of you. Bless you always.

I miss you so much it hurts. I keep the picture we took together by my desk and I look at it every day. You are missed by many of us who loved you so much. Nettie and I talk about you often. We cry and we laugh as we remember our loving times with you. I went to Chicago this week and all I wanted to do is call you and tell you about everything John and I did, But that wasn't possible. I always thought you were my courage in life, but now I have to do it with out you. I will always be proud of you and what you have done for so many people around you. Your are my heart and soul.

I loved the fact that you were so good in sports and a bragged about it to. You were very active in Girl Scouts with Nettie and we will always remeber the camping and cooking you and I have done for the Girl Scouts. Troop 602 and 187 will always hold you dear in their hearts. I will never forget all that you have done for everyone you have helped.

Ms. "T"

Even though our life paths took us away from everyday contact, what we shared for many years as room mates never faded. You always where there for me with a smile and a hug.

I will always hold close to my heart our time together.

Memories:

Softball games we should of never won.

House cleaning that never stayed clean.

Talking by the fire all night long, and realizing we both had to go to work,,,in one hour.

Womens weekend at Russian River.

Motorcycle rides to nowhere.

New years parties,flag football games in the mud, then back home to finish the party.

Too many others that I will hold close to me.

"T" God Bless you for all you have given me. I hope you have found peace. I love you.

friend,person,and loving family member. I have known my friend "Tree" for many years.. starting from high school. We spent many years playing ball, having fun..just being our best..Theresa was a rock,a caregiver,great listener,loved sports and the outdoors..We would have many conversations about the things we loved and how to make unpleasant things better. I wish you the best in your journey my friend..and will miss you dearly..prayers to you and your family.. see you on the other side..

It has been awhile since I last saw you but I hope you know you will always hold a place in my heart. I can not forget you were the first person to befriend me when I came to California. You did so much for me including introducing me to Jacqui and Jess.

I can never tell you how much joy that little girl brought to my life and what a great friend you gave me. I thank you for that. I hope that at last you are happy and at peace

Gone too soon. Those words come to mind. Gone like the fading light of day in the gloaming. Many evenings we sat on our deck at Rainbow Ridge in Sugarpine as light slipped from the sky....on the deck we built together. In our mind's eye we see your smile, hammer in hand, eager to get to work and get the job done - even as the night fell, and as those raindrops came - just a little more and we're done! Yeah!! So many memories. Lots of laughs. A few tears. Some sorrow. Much joy. Giants & A's. Niners & Raiders. New Year's Eve. Christmas Cookies. All Along the way with "T". A friend in need is a friend in deed. What will we do without you? We will miss you Theresa. We will raise our glasses and toast our good friend. And we will remember. With fondness. With love. Theresa...gone too soon.

Dear T,

If you only knew how many people truly loved you....



You were so kind and giving and always put everyone else before yourself.



I remember when we worked at Home Depot and I was the phone operator, and you worked in the Paint Dept.I would page and page different Dept's to pick up the customer call and when I was finally exhausted and paging an Assistant Manager, you would call me and say, "Wheres the call? I will pick it up". Of course this was not your Dept and you might not know anything about what the customer needed,but you still tried to help. I will never forget that about you.



You will be missed more than words can say.



You are forever in my thoughts and prayers.



Love Holly

"T" was a very giving person, not only of her time but would give the shirt off her back and the last dollar in her pocket. When we bought our house, she was more than willing to help build the beautiful redwood deck that now sits in our front yard. I will always look at that deck and remember her there. Good-bye dear friend, you wil be dearly missed.
