It has been one year now and I still miss you more than ever. My mind often takes me back to the wonderful memories you and Dad gave us growing up. You and Dad sacrificed so much to give up the best life possible.

You were always there for us and I still remember the bright smile on your face greeting us from the moment we woke to our kiss good night. You were such a fun, positive, kind and loving person and always saw the good in everything.

I remember being so anxious to come home after school to tell you about my day. You were always so supportive and interested in what I had to say. When I was down I always felt better after talking to you. You made me feel so good and important.

I feel comfort knowing you are in a better place in heaven with Dad watching over us all. You touched so many lives and you will always be in my heart. Love you and miss you so much Mom.

Your son, Michael

+Dear Julie, Michael and Steve and family, please know that my prayers and sympathy are with you on the death of your dear Mother. Both your parents were such gentle, kind persons. They were devout Catholics and were dedicated to Faith and Family. They love you very much and will continue to watch over you.
God bless you! Sister Mary Babik (your St. James teacher)
