Your Mommy

November 29, 2015

Thanksgiving was our last holiday together..You were the "gravy maker" I think you would like that your sister has taken over that duty & I hear hers is delicious...you know mommy is not going to try the turkey...Alyssa hosted her 1st thanksgiving meal for us....Her and her Rob did a great job...The only thing missing was you
Trust me you were thought of & spoken of...It upsets Alyssa to talk about you to much..she can only do small doses.
She needs you and you're not here where you belong...Eating dinner with us, with your sons...No holiday will ever be the same again
Love you Sweet Pea & Miss You With Al My Heart

Just sincere emotions of love

Today I have to go and hug a friend who lost his son this week at the age of 29. Why? 29 is not enough time for us parents. Of course all it does is bring you and the day of your death back up all over again....I love and miss you Devon every second of each day I wake....Your sister misses you so much, she can't share what is going on in her life with you now.....I was supposed to die, Carl was supposed to die & you and Lyss were supposed to be here to support each other..Life Is So Unfair....who ever coined that phrase must have lost a child to
My Eternal Love Always

Today is mommy & Carl's 24th anniversary...today should be a day of celebration....but all I can think of is that today is 2 yrs and 3 months since you left me....the 21st of any month is tough....Mommy misses her Little Sweet Pea in every thing I do and every breath I take....You live in me but I want you to still live beside me.....I was talking about the 3 and a half yrs we worked together and how you would always call me Mom at work even though I was your boss and asked you not to....but you loved me and to you regardless I am Mommy and calling me by my first name was disrespectful (which it is) Those were 3 and a half great years and I laugh with pride when I think of those days.....the only shipper to never make a mistake and catch the mistakes of others...I was never ever disappointed to have you as my daughter...I smile with pride when I think of you and your sister and only speak of you with love.....I cry with pain but only due to your being gone is such a huge loss by any sense of the imagination.....I am sorry I could not help you and be there to protect you....that is a mothers job, to keep you safe.....I just should have put you in a bubble so nothing bad would ever happen.....then again nothing would have ever happened....you were only here a short 29 yrs....but girl you packed a lifetime into those years.....Love you and miss you with all my heart

Eternal Love Your Momma

December 23, 2014

It's been 2 yrs and 2 days since the worst day of my life....I am not sure how to acknowledge the time gone by..my love and prayers have not changed and never will....Your absence becomes more and more painful as days go by.....But milestones of years are crushing....I know you are with me, I have proof of it..but it does not lessen the pain

Mommy misses you every second of every day....even in my sleep I dream of you and as soon as I wake the void is there
You will never be gone as long as I am here

Halloween was one of Devon's favorite holidays..she loved dressing up as a kid and dragging me to family members and all around the neighborhood. She loved going out with her friends and when she had children she loved dressing up and taking them out.....With halloween coming up I can't help but think of her even more....Losing a child is a pain you cannot explain...all I can do now is reach out every way I can think of to shout it out that I miss her and love her...God truly does take the good young...My daughter had a heart to big for this world...

Mommy Love and Miss You

December 28, 2013

You are with your sister, your dad, and all of your grandparents getting all the love and hugs you deserve.....I know you know that Alyssa and I love you but it was not enough.....So smile on us and love them until we join all of you.....For now you are welcome in heaven....a heart like yours could never go anywhere else...Watch over your sons and help them to be happy and make good choices in life...Since you've left you are making a bigger impact on their lives....They stare at your pictures, they touch them and it breaks my heart....Have you seen the donations they have given you? Johnny bought a family of penguins and set them up next to you :-) Robbie leaves something next to your picture almost every visit..It's good for them and their way of coping....I know they will grow into fine men....Robbie has your heart and Johnny has your laughter...They adore their little sister and Rob and Carol and everyone else are making sure they have love...but you have what none of us do...Divine Guidance..

Well hello dear, yes it has been a year since you went away, and I think about of you often. Even though I am not close, I am there in spirit. I pray for mom every day in hopes of her being able to mend a little more each day. She will never be the same as she was, but she will manage. If one thing I know about your mother is she is a fighter. I read your book whenever someone puts a message here to you, so I can keep up with what is being said. I hope you are happy and smiling like I remember you. Watching Mom Carl Alyssia, and of course your boys. I know Devon you would of loved to be here with them this year, but things happen but they will go on with the loving memory that your mom and sister provide for them. You will never be forgotten, a person like you so loving and caring could only be an angel. So continue to watch out for your family and one day they will be there with you and all will be right again. So until next time my dear girl, RIP sweety.

Mommy Crying in bed

December 21, 2013

A year ago you left us...I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of tears that have flowed.
The pain will never go away, it will never be easier.
It was you and I for 7 years and I promised you I would always be there for you and I failed.
I miss you so much Devon that I am lost without you.
I never knew not having someone in my life would feel this way....I always say "we are all going to die" but I never thought that one of my girls would leave me first....
You had a hard life for such a beautiful girl...and I think that is why you had such a bright spirit because you knew first hand how it felt to be hurt, abandoned and lied to...You knew what love and loss truly was....I pray and pray that how I was raised is true and that your father and grandparents and Sara were all there to meet you and take care of you....
I am so sorry and if I could change it I would....but I can't and I am having a very hard time living with that

My love for you is eternal
I will keep your light alive
You were my 1st true love
And will be until I die...

Forever My Sweet Pea....My Brown Eyed Girl....My Sunshine and all that was good about me went with you to Heaven

Last Batch of Cupcakes Baked

Mommy Home With Lys

December 12, 2013

It's cold, there is snow on the ground. Alyssa turned 21 the other day, so all we can think of is YOU....you should be here with us celebrating....And tonight it is cold and a great night to bake which makes me think of you even more since last year this time I came home to you making Reese's Peanut Buttercup Cupcakes...OMG they were so good....You are a fabulous cook and damn you could bake. Runs in the family!! Devon your body is not sitting here talking or yelling or laughing...But trust me, You Are Here Every Second of Every Day and Always Will Be...We love you and miss you baby and I want the world to know just how wonderful you are and what a great mom and daughter you are...and of course you are the best Sissy Ever...Rest Easy Baby Until We Are Together Again

Mothers Day 2010

Devon and Alyssa's Mom Robbie and Johhny's Granny

November 29, 2013

Yesterday was an odd day to say the least. A year ago you were helping me to make dinner and of course you insisted on making the gravy :-) No jar gravy from you!!
This year you were at the table with us in spirit. Tears flowed all morning and we prayed for you and the family before eating....You must know that you will never be forgotten.
Alyssa and I decided today to have a pink Christmas tree from here on so you are with us each year.
No one is missed more than you by us...Your sons called and they had a good holiday which is all we want for them....Trust me as they get older you will become more important....I have met so many who lost a parent young and as they get older they feel the loss which breaks my heart...they will never know 1st hand just how wonderful you are and what a great mom you are...but they will know, that is my job as your mother and their granny to ensure they know all of you and not just pieces
I love you always....and one day you and I will argue and laugh again
Miss you sweet pea....This year mommy has mourned you each minute of each day...Next year I will find times and events to celebrate your life with smiles and laughter....You were the beat of my heart for 30 yrs and will continue to be so until my heart stops beating....We all have 2 beats...1 for you and the boys and 1 for Alyssa...You kids are the most important people I have ever known and the most precious part of my life...and all who know me know it is true
Eternally Loved

I miss your hugs.....you were such a great huger
Funny, you squeezed so much into 29 yrs..Never patient, always had to be what you wanted and when you wanted it...but you had so much more to do...Robbie is having a hard time and it is no wonder...to many changes in such a young life
They will never know what a great huger their mother is

Thinking about you as always
Missing you
Love your Mommy

Hey Baby Doll
Mommy has been dreaming of you almost daily. If you are looking over my shoulder and see me typing this...I don't understand what the dreams mean..Try to be a little clearer for me..
I know you are trying to tell me something.
Love you and Miss You and Carry You With Me Always

You saved my life and the guilt of not saving yours is killing me. I am so sorry I was not there soon enough to be of help.....I Love You and Still Feel Your Love

September 28, 2013

Hello Devon,
I was going through some old photos and came across one with you and mom and the rest of the family at Lucy's baby shower. You looked so happy and care free. I know if you were still here today you would of loved Lucy's son, he is just as sweet as she is. So dear I keep the pictures so I can see how much you loved life and the people around you. Miss you alot Leona

Your Mother Crying Right Next To You

September 27, 2013

The quiet is deafening......for 29 yrs 4 months and 17 days I heard you cry, talk, giggle, laugh and sing. We spoke each and every day of that time. Even when you did not live with me you called me.....I had fun working with you for 4 yrs....In all that time you called me Mom at work as much as I asked you not to.......The quiet is deafening.....I miss you

Mother of Devon Jennifer

September 23, 2013

I love you little one....you will always be my baby....you will always be my 1st love....but Mommy has to get past this depression and it is time to start living again....without guilt....Does not mean you are not in my heart, you always will be....Half of it died with you....but the other half needs to continue to pump and live for those I love and need.....I have spent the past 9 months concentrating on honoring your memory and I will continue to do so....Just I need to make time and happiness for myself and others......I will never get over you leaving me...but it was written to be this way I guess...You are and always will be my Sweet Pea and My Sunshine.....there will always be special days just for you and no other....but the other days need to be for me and Alyssa and the kids as well as Carl....We all miss you in our own way....There is nothing I can do to bring you back....All I can do is honor your memory which I will until my last day on this earth....I know you will understand.....I am not letting you go, I am just making a change to accept my new life without you here with me in it
Eternally Yours
Love Mommy

Mommy At Home With You

August 29, 2013

Yesterday should have been your 1st day at BCCC. Alyssa returned since you left her. I hope she can make it this time. You have left a hole in our hearts that no one or nothing can ever fill. Your sons are moving into Hamilton which I know was so important to you. So even though you are not with them at least we know they are going to graduate from where you wanted. I am happy for all of them but of course I thought of you and how happy you would be. We all know that Carol will make sure that they are a success in school.....Rest Easy My Sweet Pea....You are still my sunshine and always will be...I love you

Devon and I.....My baby forever and always

Mommy At Home

June 23, 2013

I just woke up from a nap and was dreaming about you. The day we went to PF Changs and we had a blast and when dinner was over you hugged me in the parking lot and said "Mommy this is the life I want. Thank you and I love you" It was on August 1st we went and it was to celebrate her birthday just Devon and I. A happy day a happy memory but brought tears to my eyes when I woke. We had to be there a good 3 hours we had such a good time I wish we could go again Devon, I truly would give my life up that day if we could only have that hug back and that dinner and I remembered we did have a couple drinks together...God how I miss you

June 11, 2013

Devon hello! I really don't know what to say other then you are missed by everyone. I thought of you often when you were here. Now I think of you more that you are gone. I think about mom and all her sadness, and it makes me sad. Yes she misses you so much, we all do sweety but I know you are resting and in a better place. It does not make it any better, we are trying every day to cope. I wish I could talk to mom but every time I think of trying to say something to her I get all teary eyed and nothing comes. So I look at your facebook page when mom is on and I follow what she says and does. I wish I was there for her she needs a loving arm around her now. So do the rest of your family, but I am hoping in time, it will get easier for those of us who knew you when. So rest in peace sweety and you will always be thought of by me as a beautiful girl and a loving mother. love leona

Mommy Your 1 and Only

June 10, 2013

Devon I still cannot wrap my brain around why you are not here with us. Your boys are having a hard time especially Robbie, he was always so sensitive. Now John and Robbie will have to grow up without a "natural mother". But more important I have to spend the rest of my days without you. It is not supposed to be this way....You should be here with your family laughing and living....You and sister should be growing old and maybe one day you would be in her wedding like she was in yours.
None of this is right. I am so broken and I can't help anyone else around me since I can't help myself...
You will always be my first true love. I miss you each and every day

I LOVE YOU

Mother Smoochies

May 12, 2013

Well today is tough. I know I am still your Mother that does not change but not to be able to hear you call me Mother or say Smoochies is what is breaking my heart....Knowing you would have been with the boys yesterday and they could not wish you A Happy Mothers Day brings me to tears. You are missed Devon...those of us who love you think of you everyday without missing a second...You Are Here

Mommy Your One and Only

March 13, 2013

I hope you know that I put a little of you with your sister.....I hope you know that your traveling the world via a Pink Rose and a plastic enclosure....I pray that you know how much I love you and that my heart is so broken that the only way it will ever heal is the day we are together again
I hope you approve of all I have done for you since you left us
I pray you're smiling down on your sons and they grow into men you can be so proud to say they are yours....Though I know you will since no matter what happened or happens, I am so proud to be the mother of you and Alyssa and even Sara.....
It does not take yrs to be a mom....It only takes giving birth and that is a love like no other....
I know how you loved your boys and I know that it will always be you and me for eternity bound by love
I miss you so much Devon

Mommy made your ham tonight.....It was good but not as good as if you were here to season it.....
I talk and talk and talk and at times I swear I hear your voice reply

I miss the phone ringing and you on the other end saying "Hello Mother" and my reply was always "Hello Daughter What Do You Want?" since I knew you would be calling for something when I got the Mother Title....
The birthday before you and Rob bought the house I gave you a card that said how proud I was to be your mom....Regardless of all that was going on that I did not know of it did not matter....You were a true beacon of light and I am proud to be your mommy and always will be
It has been hard on all of us....And now with Grandpop hanging on.....I know it is you keeping him here so he is not with you LOL!!! And I am sure Grandmom is helping you with it too :-)

If I could change the world even for a day I would.....If I could trade places and you be here with Alyssa and I be in the box I would in a heart beat....We all say it as parents but as someone who now knows this pain trust me I would lay down my life without hesitation for you or in the future for Alyssa
You are now and always will be one of my finest accomplishments in life....I know at times we did not always see eye to eye and I am sorry for giving you such a hard time with the boys....At least I got to let you know that I understood that what you did you did it out of love.....I hope the boys know it to as they get older...They are way to young to try to explain it to them now
Rob said he would use the money towards college funds and it made me cry that even in death you will be able to do something for your sons

I Love You....I Miss You and I Will See You Again....The love is to strong not too
Sleep well my little sweet pea until Mommy and you can stay up and laugh about things again
God Bless You

January 5, 2013

Why does God get to have her? Why is she not in my house right now sleeping off working all week?
Why is she not seeing her sons today?
I keep telling myself that life goes on but it will never be the same
I may be alive but this is not living
I miss you....I want the phone to ring and it be you.....I want to argue with you once again....I want to tell you I love you again

Oh dear God, how do I go on without my baby? Please tell me since I cannot figure it out.....I am so sick of crying...I am so sick of feeling this emptiness inside me

I pray that no one I know ever has to know this pain and sorrow
I think of Alyssa and how one day she will be alone...I always told my girls when we are gone they will only have each other....Now who will Alyssa have

I wish this was just one long nighmare and I would wake up from it and all would go back to how it was....
Mommy Loves You
Your right here with me....where you will stay for eternity

Sharon Lepore

January 2, 2013

I thought Friday was the hard part.....No today starts the tough stuff...Going thru things, finalizing your life.....I have not seen a sign today or yesterday so please feel free to let me know you are still here with me....I wonder when the tears will stop and I know they never will....Why baby, why did this have to happen? If someone could just let me know why then maybe I could accept it....Then again no I wouldn't regardless
I love you and you knew that
I never felt pain like this before and I hope God willing that I never do again

Rest Easy Sweet Pea

I just can't stop thinking, why you and why now?
The past 2 months were as happy as I had seen you in years....So why now?
I guess God wanted to take you at your best.
Please hug and kiss everyone for me...Let them know I will be with all again someday
In the meantime you will be home surrounded by those who love you....
I will talk to you each and everyday until I can hold you in my arms again

I feel so blessed to have kissed your forehead and tell you that I love you as I did not know it would be my last chance......I know those were the last words you heard from me....as well as the first
To me you were perfect....You had flaws as do I but as a daughter I could not love you more.....My prayers are that you knew that as I know you loved me
I have to stay strong for Alyssa and the boys and I will...but know my heart as it was went with you.....My new one loves you even more as this one only beats for the good and only the good
Good Night My Sweet Pea.....Only have happy dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...You still make me happy when skies are grey...You will never know dear how much I love you....On Friday 12/21/12 my sunshine went away

Mommy misses you so much. All I keep thinking about today is Thursday night and how happy you were......And I hope yesterday was everything you would have wanted.
Rob told me about the crypt and I promise you will be there when my time comes...
The day you were born, your head was out before the Dr. even came into the room. You came a day before your due date. You were perfect....You arrived clean, with olive skin, big eyes and a head full of hair :-)
You were the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. You still are.
You could not wait to come into this world. You were such a bright and shinning light. A wonderful little girl, a handful as a teenager, a gorgeous bride, a loving mother and sister....And now you left us just as quickly
I read the letter you wrote me the week before and I do not know why you wrote it but it is now my comfort when I need it.
The silence to day is unbearable....but I know you are with me...I feel you with me
I love you Devon

There are really no words right now, only to say that you were an angel Devon, I know the Lord only takes the best. So now your work is done here, so rest dear and watch over the rest of your family and see they are loved and happy. Will miss your sweet smile my dear girl, so go rest now and until we meet again. May God be with you always.

Sharon and Carl, I didn't have the opportunity to get to know Devon as well as I would have liked, but she made a lasting impression on me on Thanksgiving when Wayne and I shared the day with you and your family. I saw a bright young woman, confident in the kitchen, able to make gravy from scratch, I am so jealous! I saw a lot of you in her, your strength and wit. For the brief time I did spend with her, I can say it was a pleasure! Gone too soon. Rest In Peace Devon. <3

I'm so sorry for your loss Sharon..Heavon now has another angel

I hope that yesterday would have made you happy. I know you asked what would I do but at 29 I did not think I really had to give an answer.
You are special to me, always have been, always will be.
Your spirit lives in me. I gave birth to you and as long as I am alive you will be.
Life will never be the same but you will never be gone.
Eternal Love To You My Little Sweet Pea
