my dearest ed,
tomorrow will be one year thats 365 days,8760 hours,525.600 mins.that you have been in the arms of the angles,and your mom. so why dose it feel like a life time?but yet that day feels like yesterday,the day my heart was broken, ripped out,stepped on and crushed.everyone says that the first year is the worst,but knowing that i will not have you with me for the rest of my life is worse. i know you are with me all the time. when i am in the car,that song plays you know the one that was playing when teana was born,(isn't she lovely).the other day when we were leaving the cematery it was playing.what do i say ed,i can't put into words how much i miss you,the pain is so great i know it will never go away.you were the one i spent more then half my life with, we had four great kids,three beautiful grandchildren that all miss you more then words can say,they all act very strong but i can see it when i look at them.we have so many memories with our whole family.i miss the phone ringing to remind me to pick up grapes at the store,or the 20 calls to find out where i was at when i was coming home from the mountains.i think that was to make sure you had time to clean up your mess before i got home.i miss your smile,your hearty laugh,the glow in your face when you would look at our children and grandchildren.i miss everything about you.your dad says he is good ,but i know he to misses you so much,i talk to him everyday.well my love i must go now ,but i will write soon i will be up to see you tomorrow and remenber you are ALWAYS AND FOREVER IN MY HEART

Hey Eddie its Aunt Fran just letting you know how proud you can be of Pat and Teana. Pat keeps you alive in everones heart with her many letters to you and keep your boys on the right path to be come the man you were. We all miss you and wish you were here with us but like Pat said in one of her letters to you God had a bigger plan for you.
Teana is a good Mom just like Pat and you know them Girls are well taken care of. I know Alexis miss her PopPop alot but she is so much like you in many way like that laugh of her's. I dont get to see them much but I can hear her on the phone sometime when Pat calls my house. I just deleted you phone number off my phone because it don't have your voice on it anymore. I would hit your number sometime and just hear your voice say that you were not there and to leave a message.
You dont know how much I miss you and the talks we would have when no one was around to hear.
I have to go now I said why to much just know that I always loved you and miss you.

October 9, 2009

MY DEAREST ED
how are you today? i am sure you are doing better then me .i am missing you very much today all the kids were here and you weren't,all i could do was look up at the steps waiting for you to walk down and say what going on with that big smile of yours.and laughing at the little ones.i know you are so proud of all of them ,thay are all doing good.i see our daughter droped you a few lines well more then a few.i am glad she writes to you.it is hard for me to read what she writes you because it breaks my heart to know she is hurting so much she misses her daddy . the boys miss you terible,they dont say much.but i can tell.now for the babies that alexis,she is something else.she is smart as a whip and as happy as could be.as you know i pick her up on fridays to spend time with her,today we made,we made cookies audrina quicknowthat she is
walking.its so funny when we ask her where poppop is she looks right at your picture,how funny is that, its like she sees you all the time .you must be visiting all the time??? and baby michael boy would you be having a blast with him.he is such a plesent baby i did what you did for alexis when she was teething the frozen waffle deal,that boy was in heaven.thanks for reminding me. and as for your dad he is doing fine . he got to see all the great grandchildren this week ,he just loves them.
ed there is so much that i want to say to you and i try to say in my letters to you.its just so hard because word can not explain the love i have for you and its true love and a love i will never have again,until we meet again.but i hate to tell you this ,we wont meet again for a very long time as my work here is not done.i have weddings to dance at with our children and grandchildren,graduation to attend bunny foot prints to make on the porch,cookies for santa you get the picture.but to know you will be there to meet when my job is done gives me comfort knowing that once again i will be in your safe and loving arms.i wish youwould let me know in my dreams or a sign that you ae still with me ,i know you are i just want to hear your voice or feel your touch. i know your there. as i said before my work here is not done i have to finish the laundry and get to bed i have bathrooms to do in the morning.i love you honey .
ALWAYS AND FOREVER IN MY HEART
P.S.we will be up on sunday to see you.

So far in the past couple weeks things have been going pretty well for us, I can't complain!
Lexi's doing so good in school.. there saying how good and sweet she is..Theres a little boy in her class that does'nt speak much english and very shy because of it, and she opend him up and got him to come out of his shell, and now shes his bestfriend, shes helping him learn english, she sits with him and teaches him his colors and shapes and all his animals in english.. her teachers are so proud of her!

I think I don't have enough of them..But I have people depending on me and I need to stay strong for them! Why do I still Feel like it's not real? Why do I feel like it's a nightmare thats going to end soon? Is this normal?..With the Holidays coming it's getting soo hard to think of them! I can't imagine the holidays without you! It's going to be so weird!! I hope I am ok! and Im not a crying mess!! B/c I feel like thats when things are really gonna hit rock bottem for me!!

Hey Dad!
Well Lexi started school this week..Her teachers are saying shes doing good..Except for this morning, she cryed her little eyes out..I felt soo bad! But I knew you would be there to make her feel safe! So I just left..But I checked in on her and she was fine moments after I left!..Audrina's trying to walk, haha..Shes so cute..Everyday shes getting bigger!
Its still so hard to believe your up there somewhere..and not here with us!
I had a friends fathers viewing lastnight, God it hit to close to home! I felt like I was reliving that day all over again..I had no idea what to say to her..I completely know what shes feeling but have no words of wizdom..Some days this seems like a bad dream and your gonna walk in the door or im gonna get a phone call from you!! Its bad too because whenever my phone rings I look at it like its gonna be you..I feel like im sitting here just waiting for the call..Just to here your voice..I was thinking that if I should get some "extra" money I wanna get a tattoo for you but im not sure what im gonna get yet...
Alright Im gonna go now I'll talk to you later!
I Love you!
Always

Hey Dad!
Never thought in a million years I would be on here for you! Never thought I would have to talk to like this! I miss our venting phone calls! You would call me to vent, I would call you to vent... I still vent to you but, I get no answers back!.. Nothings to same! Sometime I hate going to the house b/c I expect to see you there but your not! I wish I never would of cut that last phone call we had so short.. If I would of only known, I would of talked to you till the very end! As you know I think about you all the time and miss you more then you know! Lexi's getting so big! You would be so proud.. Whenever she does something I think of your face and the smile you would have..She talks about you all the time and the memories she has..Audrina's getting big too! Shes so funny everyday shes doing something new..she just got her first 2 teeth at once(finally)..no more baby food..she hate it now! I know your watching over them and keeping them safe, but if you can..can you let them know?..I dont know if it was you the other night, who Audrina waved to in the middle of the night but if it was Thanks! Kenny hes doing great..Him and Jacober as you know are trying to start up this business..I hope that they make out ok there trying so hard..He's my back bone with all this dad..He makes sure im doing ok and getting by..
I dont know how this could of happen to you such a good hearted person, who would give the shirt off your back for someone..I just dont understand why you! I begin to question my faith in god..
Well I think I must go.. I finally was able to come on here and write to you it took a very long time but I did it and I feel better!
I love you and Miss you Sooo much!
Love always
Daddy's Little Girl


P.s

DEAR EDDIE,
WHAT CAN I SAY? For one...the day u left,and this will remain in my heart 4ever..Pat said [when it came down to the obit]that u considered me also ur brother. Ed,u know it was unspoken, but i know that there was love and deep respect btwn us and i know that although unsaid,u always respected me and always treated me like family.You so crazy..always laughed at my jokes,loved my xmas coquito drink,before i continue and just give in to the tears, i know u know this, i will make sure ur brother and me stand up and be there for ur wife and kids. We have grieved u and will continue to do so but if ur boys and girl and grandkids need an ear [always impartial without stepping on toes] we will always be here to give them a place to release and talk and just ask any silly question, I.E.does it reaaly burn when i put colonge on my privates? Now that u are really in heaven, c'mon who REALLY makes the best potato salad? come to me in my dreams ur secrets safe with me. I WILL ALWAYS ENTERNALLY LOVE U MORE THAN U KNOW

July 29, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Eddie, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. You were such an amazing guy and friend. I know you and Tommy are together again, joking around and being your crazy selves. You were the one who reached out to me when I lost Tommy and I have never forgotten that. I miss both of you very much. The two of you always made me laugh,even when I didn't want to. I hope you're both resting in peace.
Love your friend Linda

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
