Dearest Mom:
Even though I have not written here in quite some time, I still think of you and miss you so much everyday. I can not believe that the third anniversary of your passing was on Saturday, 10/12/13. My heart still remains broken and I know that a part of me went with you the day you left me. My dear sweetheart, so many things have happened over the summer and I am certain that you were aware ....that is why my prayers came true because you helped me along the way. I miss you so much my darling Mom...and I love you with all my heart and I will truly love you forever. Miss you and love you Mom....Katie

Dearest Mom: Happy Belated birthday! Once again, I am sorry that I have not written to you lately...it is not because I have forgotten you because I think of you with love everyday....it is because life just takes over some of the hurt and sorrow of losing my best friend. Every day I am reminded of the love that we had for each other....you will forever be the best Mom anyone could ever ask for....I miss you Mom and I love you so very much. Take care my Angel and I will talk to you again soon. With all my love, Katie

My dear Mom:
I am so sorry that I did not write in our special place for Christmas but you do know that I was thinking of you and Dad the whole day and your "star" even appeared that night. Christmas is still so terribly sad without you and Dad. When I was plugging in the Christmas tree, I was brought back to the time when I was about 5 years old and I ran down to Mark's room after looking in the living room and said, "Mark, he was here!" Later on in life you told me how you and Dad were lying there listening to my excitement and just smiled and giggled. Wish we had those times back....but I know we can not. In a few more days the new year will be upon us, 2013 and Dad will have been gone 14 years already which is so unbelieveable to me and you will have been gone 3 years when October is upon us. Where has that time gone? I truly miss you both with all my heart and I love you both more than anything. You are the best! I will talk to you again soon. With all my love, Katie

Dearest Mom:
I am one day late....Happy 65th Weddindg Anniversary to you and Dad!!! I wish you both were here because we certainly would have celebrated!!! Also, I can not believe that it has been one month since I retired! Time goes by so fast now, I wish you were here with me to enjoy the stress free life I am living. I miss you so much and I want you to always remember that you were the best Mom ever, that I love you with all my heart, that I miss you immensely every day and that the piece of my heart that was broken when you passed will never heal. I love you Mom and miss you!
Love always, Katie
October 14, 2012
My dear Mom:
I could not bear the thought of not having my place to write to you, so my letters to you will continue. Love you so much and miss you so much...I now have peace once again in my heart because of this beautiful place to send you my thoughts.
Love always, Katie
October 12, 2012
My dearest beloved Mom:
Today marks the second anniversary of your passing. Mom, where did that time go? There has not been a day since 10/12/10 that I have not thought of you and wished that you were still here with me. So many things have happened and as my Angel, I know that you are aware of them all. As I have told you in the past, life is just not the same without you...when a mother and daughter have such a wonderul bond and loving relationship as we had, that bond and love is never broken. You will continue to be the best friend that I ever had and I will love you forever. Mom, at my retirement party I told my friends that when they hear someone say "See you around like a doughnut" to think of me....so when you hear someone say "I love you million Reeses Pieces and someone responds,"I love you million M&M's", please remember that is how we said good night to each other for all those years we lived together. Mom, I love you and miss you. May you be at peace now and happy that you are with Dad and your Mom and Dad. Love you forever with all my heart.
Love, Katie

My dearest Mom: I am so, so very sorry that I have not written sooner but time just got away from me but I have never gone a day without talking to you, thinking about you and wishing that you were still with me. My dearest Mom, I did it. I retired from my job with 32 and 1/2 years of service. If you were alive, I would have retired in March, but I hung in there until I knew that it was time to toss in the towel. They had a wonderful retirement party for me on October 4, 2012 and Nuccio, Mark, Carol, Matt, Paul, Nancy and the boys and Aldo and Antonella and their family joined in with so many of my friends from work to celebrate my retirement. It was such a wonderful evening...I kept thinking how proud you and Dad would have been as my friends spoke about me and my accomplishments. I still miss you so much and there are times when I cry so hard but I want you to know that the reason why I turned out the way I did was because I had such a wonderful and loving Mom and Dad that instilled in me to work hard, respect people and put into people what you want back. You taught me well and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you, I miss you and I will love you and miss you for the rest of my life. I know that coming up on October 12, 2012 will be the second anniversary of your passing which I can not believe, that all that time as passed, but you know that you are my angel and will always remain in my heart.

Kate, I found a few pictures I took of your wedding day that I would like to send you if that is okay. Your Mom and Dad were so happy that day. You were a vision of beauty, inside and out! Your Mom will always be with you in your heart.
Love, Mary
May 14, 2012
My Dearest Mom:
Yes, yesterday was Mother's Day and no, it was not a happy day for me. This was the second year that I had to go through this day without you. Friends and family called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and I would say to myself, "seriously?". Oh well, I guess they were just trying to make me feel better. Nuccio and I had a piece of Pepperidge Farm Lemon Cake last night and he said, "Eleneka would like this"....he misses you too! Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and I miss you oh so much. You were the best Mom ever and that void for me will never be filled. I miss you with all my heart and I will love you forever.
Your loving daughter, Katie
March 14, 2012
Dearest Mom:
Well, today is my birthday and I have to celebrate a second year without you. My birthday is not the same any more nor is my life. There is that void that will never heal. You do learn to exist but that happiness that one used to feel is no longer there. You smile but it is not the same. You laugh but it is not that laugh that we used to share. Mom, I miss you with all my heart and ask that you always watch over me. You were my rock. I will miss you and love you forever.
Love always, Katie
February 14, 2012
Dearest Mom:
Well, here is it is...Valentine's Day and the second year that I have to celebrate it without you. My heart is still heavy and broken. I know that today should be a happy day as it is Mark's birthday, the wonderful gift you gave to Dad on Valentine's Day in 1955, but I miss getting that perfect card for you and getting your favorite chocolates. Mom, I miss you so much and hope that you never forget me. I will love you with all my heart for all of my time to come. Love you always, Katie
December 27, 2011
My dearest Mom:
I know that I have not written to you in a very long time but you are constantly in my thoughts. As we just celebrated Christmas, I just wanted to let you know that it was not the same without you. Last year I did not even know that Christmas existed as you had passed two months before the holiday. This year I tried to get into the holiday spirit but I just could not. When I was wrapping the presents for my nieces and nephews, there was no one there to hand me the little pieces of scotch tape like you used to do with me. I had planned on making cookies but I had no one to help me measure out the dry ingredients like you used to do with me. My dearest Mom, how I miss you. I will try to do better with the coming year, but I will never be the same as part of my light diminished the day you parted from me. I will love you and miss you forever.
Katie
October 12, 2011
To my beloved Mom:
Today marks the first anniversary of your passing and I miss you so much! The passage from the book that I read every day for 10/12/11 stated exactly how my life is now - "Of course it is not the same life. Not only is the cast of characters diminished by one, but we, having been affected by this loss, are the not the same person we were". How very true this is and how appropriate should this passage fall on your anniversary. I am definitely not the same person anymore, there is a void, a heart that is broken, a sadness to my existence. But I try to go on positively because I have Nuccio to take care of and as we only have each other, I try to be there for him as much as possible. I remember how every day I asked your advice for something and you were always there to provide it to me. Right now there are many things that I need advice on and you are not there to help me. I do pray for you and Dad and the rest of the family to help me make the right choices but I would much rather have you by my side once again. You were my life, we were so close, that bond will never be broken. I look every night to the sky to find that one twinkling star that I have named Mom and I talk to you. I know that you have found peace and comfort and that you are free of pain which makes my heart feel glad. Mom, forever you will my best friend and I will miss you forever and love you forever.

Dearest Mom:
Well, in about two and half weeks, October 12, 2011 will be upon us and it will be the first anniversary of your passing. I can not believe that soon a year will have passed! This past month has been an incredibly sad one for me because I have been reminded of how your illness began to take over and how you got weaker and weaker every day. I talk with Mary Kate constantly and we both concur how sad our lives have become after our beloved Mom's left us. I look at your pictures everyday at work and at home and they remind me of how much we loved each other. You were my life and a part of that life is gone, but I love you so much still and think about you every day. I miss you Mom.
Love always, Katie

What a wonderful day we all had..you and Dad made my wedding so special....you made me feel like a Princess!!! Today, the celebration was not the same. It was a happy day yet sad because you were not with us. I cherish the memories of all of the anniversaries we spent together and wish you were here today. I miss you so much as each day passes and I love you so much! You were my everything.....the best Mom anyone could ever wish for.....and my best friend. Miss you forever and love you with all my heart.
With love always,

Dear Mom:
I can not believe that today marks 10 months since you passed away. I believe you gave me sign this morning to let me know of your presence and I thank you for that. Life has not been the same without you. There are times when I definitely feel like an orphan. On Monday, 8/15/11, Nuccio and I will be celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary and I remember how we all had such a great time over all these years celebrating that day! I will miss you this anniversary....it will not be the same without you. Well, my dear sweet Mom...take care, miss you immensely and will love you forever.
Love always,
Katie

Dear Kate, I am glad you have a book that is helping you through your deep pain. You were so lucky to have the relationship you had with your Mom. I remember how your Mom was so proud of you at your plays and on your wedding day. She is still smiling with pride. She raised a talented, beautiful loving daughter. You are in my Prayers.
Love, Mary

Mom:
I just wanted to let you know that I was very sad this past July 4th weekend. I missed watching the fireworks with you; I missed watching your eyes light up and watching your foot start to tap as we listened to the bands play "Stars and Stripes Forever". It was just so empty without you! There is a book that Terry, your hospice nurse, gave me after your passing. It is called "Healing after Loss" and you read one page a day as it is a daily meditation for working through grief. The passage that I read on July 2, 2011 stated, "Someone once said it takes seven years to adjust to the loss of someone close. So there's no need to apologize if after many months we are still finding grief a major preoccupation. And there is nothing to be ashamed of if a particularly poignant moment reduces us to tears a very long time after our loved one has died." Mom, there have been so many times since your passing that I have been reduced to tears because I miss you so very much. This book does help me understand my sadness and my grief, but writing to you every once in a while in your guestbook also makes me feel connected to you. I miss you and will love you forever. Love always,
Katie

Mom:
Just feeling lonely and melancholy...it has been 8 months already since you passed.....so I just wanted to write in your guest book because it helps me get through these days when I am missing you terribly!! I love you, miss you and as we always said to each other....Love you million Reese's Pieces.....love you million M&M's....take care girlfriend...love you with all my heart and miss you also with all my heart.

Happy Birthday My Dear Mom: As today would have been your 86th birthday, I just wanted to wish you a very happy one and to tell you that I kissed your picture 86 times and gave you one more kiss for good luck. I hope that you are happy today because you are able to be with Dad, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Nina and Uncle Eddie and all those that have passed so you may celebrate today with them. I am extremely sad not to be able to celebrate this day with you as we have in the past, but just remember that I think of you daily and miss you more as each day goes by. I am sorry that I did not go to Cedar Hill on Monday, 5/30/11 for the Rememberance Ceremony but thunderstorms and rain put Marykate's and my plans on hold. We did not think that our Mom's would want us out in the storms. I knew that you would understand and you gave me your sign because your favorite rose bush had its first rose bloom on that day when the sun came out. I brought a couple of the roses that have since bloomed to work today just to brighten up my sad feelings. I used to cut them to give them to you for your birthday, so it just seemed like the right thing to do. I also wanted to tell you that Nuccio remembered that today was your birthday too and said "how many son-in-laws" remember when their mother-in-laws birthday is. I know that he really misses you too. Mom, remember how he used to call me Amore for almost 24 years.....well, now he calls me Eleneka, your name in Russian...and that is his way of remembering you on a daily basis. Oh, one more thing, last night I found a notebook in which you wrote down my dance steps, "R flap, L flap, ball change, ball change"...and then I found a picture that you took of me downstairs in my dance costume practicing my steps in 1963....that was another sign that you were with me last night and I thank you for that! Well, my dear Mom, I just want you to know how much I miss you and to say once again as I did in all my cards to you...."thank you for being there for me and thank you for being the best Mother ever!" You are now my Angel. Love you forever.
Katie
May 27, 2011
Hi Mom: I was just thinking about you this moment and I wanted to let you know that Cedar Hill Cemetery sent me a letter a few weeks back letting me know that there will be a Rememberance Ceremony for our loved ones at Cedar Hill on Monday, 5/30/11 and they will be reading off all the names of the loved ones who have passed since last Memorial Day. I will be there with Marykate as her Mom is buried at Cedar Hill also because her Mom passed away 8 days after you did. We are both having a very hard time with the passing of our best friends, but we are there for each other because we know how hard it is for each of us. I will be there with you on Monday, but as you know I wish things were different. You will always be the best Mom that anyone could ever hope for and you will always be my one and only best friend. I will love you and miss you forever.
Katie
May 24, 2011
Dearest Mom:
It has been awhile since I wrote, but I just wanted you to know how much I miss you. Nuccio and I went to see your Sister this past weekend because she kept on asking when we were coming to visit as it has been seven months already since your passing and that is when we saw her last. It was nice to see her but also quite sad for me because when she talked and walked with her cane, she reminded me of you. I truly wish you were still here by my side as I truly need you more than you will ever know. Life is just not the same anymore...I try to be happy and try to laugh at times, but there is always that feeling of loss....that hole in my heart that will not repair itself.....my permanent reminder that I truly lost my best friend the day that you left my side. Well my darling, I will visit with you again soon and will continue to talk to you at night when you are my shining, twinkling star outside the kitchen window. I love you Mom and miss you dearly.

Dear Kate, I am so sorry for your deep pain. I wish there was something I could do or say to help. I still can't watch any videos of my Dad and he has been gone 16 years. When someone touches your heart, that love stays with you forever! Mom is your special Angel, she is smiling down on you with pride. You are in my Prayers.
Love, Mary

Dearest Mom: I miss you so much!! This Sunday is Mother's Day....my first one without you...and how sad is that for me. Every time I see a commercial on the TV for Hallmark Cards or Mom's and Daughters, I usually just walk away...because it breaks my heart. I know that you are in a better place now and that you will be with your Mom after all these years, but it does not make it any easier for me that I have to spend the day without you. As I used to say in all my cards to you throughout the many years that I had you...."thank you for being the best Mom ever and thank you for being my best friend"....you are now my Angel and I thank you so much for watching over me. I love you Mom with all my heart and each day that has passed since October 12, 2010 has never been without a thought or tear for you...Love you forever! Katie
March 29, 2011
Mom ~ Well, soon the month of March will be coming to a close and I just wanted to let you know how sad I was on my birthday, March 14th. There was no one to kiss me 54 times and to give me one more for good luck. How hard it was to be without you and it continues to still be so difficult. A few days before my birthday I came across a card you gave me in 2007 and you called me your Angel...and you are now my Angel. I also found a letter the other day that you wrote to me on September 9, 1977 and you included one of your favorite sayings called "Sketches" and you highlighted: "I give thanks for all the loved ones....who are precious to my heart...and I feel the touch of sadness ...as my steps take us apart...would that I could stay beside them...is the thought deep in my mind...for it is never fun to leave...true happiness behind..." Mom, your steps have taken us apart but I just wanted you to know that I think about you every day and miss you so much every day and pray for you every night that you are safe and happy and at peace. Missing you and loving you forever with all my heart.
Katie
February 16, 2011
Mom~ I meant to write to you on Monday, February 14, 2011 because I know that it always was a very special day for you...because 56 years ago you were able to give Daddy the best gift ever for Valentine's Day....my brother, Mark. It was so hard for me to go into the stores and walk by the Valentine's cards for "Mom's" because this is the first time I was not able to buy one for you. Remember how I always was able to find the perfect card for you!!! Well, Mom, I just wanted to let you know how extremely sad I am on certain days, but then again, you know that because you are with me in a different way now. I found a picture of you the other day when you were strong and walking with your walker and it brought a smile to my face because it made me remember all the good times that I had with my best friend. I miss you so much Mom...I will miss you every day and I will love you forever.....Loving you and missing you.....Your Katie

Dearest Kate,
I know your heart is broken. To lose a loved one is hard enough but to lose someone who was not only your Mom but your best friend is extremely painful. Time does help you heal and the pain will get easier. Talk to her often, she hears you. Her body is gone NOT her spirit, she will always be with you. TRY to take comfort knowing she is smiling down on you and has no more pain. You were given an incredible gift to have the relationship you had with your Mom. Remember the fun and laughs you shared. Cry as much as you need too, it helps heal the pain. Please let me know if I can do anything to help, I miss you and think of you often.
Love, Mary

Mom ~ I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you everyday. I know that you know because I talk to you, my shining star every morning and every evening, when you are there. I now knows what it means "to have a broken heart" because mine is definitely broken. I know that in time it will heal and then I will rely on the cherished memories that I have of you as my beloved Mom and best friend. I am reading a book now that Terri, your Hospice nurse, gave me called "Healing After Loss" and it is a very good book because you read a passage once a day and it helps you work through your grief. The book also talked about writing things down which should help so I decided to write to you today. I will close today with something that I said to you every night before you went to bed, "I love you million Reese's Pieces" and your response was always, "I love you million M&M's. Love you Mom....miss you....your Katie
