Good morning mom, there isn´t much more I can say that I haven´t already said. I miss you, I miss our conversations and I just miss you. Thinking of you with love always.

Hi Mom, I cannot believe it's going to be 12 years since I last hugged you and we told each other we loved each other. The day I visited you before work you didn't have the oxygen on, you were smiling and talking! I was soooo excited to see you turn the corner. When I left to go to work I hugged, kissed you and we said I love you to each other. I had no idea it would be the last conversation I had with you. By the end of the day you were nonresponsive. We stayed all night with you - praying you'd wake up. It wasn't to be. God had other plans. Your life was never easy. You lost your mom at a young age and I was blessed to have you for as long as I did but it wasn't enough time. I do pray that there is a heaven and that you are there with your family and Mary. Sometimes I am unsure about my faith. If you can help me and guide me back I'd so appreciate it. I listen to your voicemail often just to hear your voice. I sit here in tears missing you. As I get older I realize time has just rushed on. Please give Mary, Aunt Angie and all your brothers, sisters who are with you a big hug from me. Love you always, Theresa

HI Mom, I can't believe it will be 10 years since I last saw your smile and heard your voice. People don't really understand loss until it happens to them. I can still see you sitting in your chair and talking with me or sitting at the kitchen table and enjoying your yummy food! You always made me meatloaf or lemon chicken for my birthday. And ohhh how I loved the italian cream cake! Growing up I'd beg to lick the beaters and bowls. lol Even when you made the cream I'd be so mad that you would take every bit of it to put on the cake! Humph! lol

I remember playing pinochle even though I wasn't as good as you. I could never remember what to bid! lol

I'm sitting here reminiscing with tears and smiles. I am praying you are safe, happy and loving being with Jesus and all your family. I remember Grandpop, when he visited, wanted to cut my curls to put on his head. lol He was bald. I remember one time he and I slept outside in the backyard. So many good memories that come from you and your side of the family. I am so glad you had a huge family. I have gained lifelong friends in my cousins but sadly some of them are not here physically but I still can see and feel them in my heart.

People often say "I wish I had one more day with you...or hear your voice once more..." Yes, I feel that way about you too but thankful I still have your voice mails. I close my eyes and can see you talking. That's what love does. That's what love is. That's what you are. You will always be with me and I just wish I could hug you one more time. Please know you are never far from my thoughts, mind and heart. You hold a special place that when I reach down to touch it that is when the tears and smiles come. My heart still aches. Love you mommy. Always.

I wish you could have gotten to know your great-grandkids they are such amazing kids. I hope you still are holding my babies that never made it. Tell them I love them. I love you too grandma . please keep watching and guiding your loved ones. We still need you and your spirit surrounding us. I hope you are at peace and can feel the love that we all share for you.

Hi Grandma,
What else can i say except you are missed and loved dearly. Thinking back on that sunday in the icu when we were talking i'll never forget how you said you should've died that day you were put on the vent and that dream you had of your Godfather....i told you to stop talking like that and it wasn't your time yet. I have to say i thank God we had that extra time with you and got to say goodbye. The last few weeks of your life you were in so much pain and struggled with every breath and even though i miss you so much i'm glad you don't have to live like that anymore and found peace in God's arms. You are forever our angel and i feel you with me...especially when i need you the most. I think more of your life now and good memories and not your death. We had many cherished memories and i feel so blessed for that. Your spirit will forever live on in each of us. I still want to call you and visit and bring the kids over but then have to remind myself i can't...at least not the way i would like it to be. Please continue to watch over your loved ones and know you are forever in our hearts. Thank you grandma for everything...your unconditional love,advice,understanding,caring and much more. Fly with the angels grandma...and know you will forever be our angel. I love you and miss you. May you be in peace and may God bless you always. Xoxo

February 28, 2014

(((Mom)))) I miss you. I miss hearing you call my name. It was always the same tone and inflection. I can still hear it now and anytime I want because I have your voice mail to listen to. I wanted to tell you about Al and how all your prayers paid off (probably because you nudged God a bit or maybe annoyed Him and He finally gave in...lol) You know me...always trying to get a joke in.

You are always in my heart. I think of you every day and pray you know how much I love you and always will.

Thank you for all your love throughout the years. Your mom passed when you were 19 so you didn't get to have a lot of time with her but we had a lot of time with you and we were blessed. It was difficult for you to raise your children without a mom to talk to or lean on.

I'm sorry if I wasn't the best daughter but please know I loved you and always will.

Love,
Theresa

February 27, 2014

Hi Mom
what can I say that has not been said. I miss you . but what keeps me going is that you are present here but in a different level. I know that your breathing much better and in no more pain.May you R.I.P. on this your 2nd birthday in heaven. Love u Mary
guess what I remembered to sign my name though you do not need it as I am sure that even though I forgot to sign my name when u read the words you knew who was writing them.

Aunt Mary: The pain never dulls. I miss your smile and your hugs. You were the best godmother anyone could ask for. I know you and my mom are happy together in heaven with your sister and brother and parents. May God grant you eternal peace in heaven. I love you.

February 25, 2014

Hi Mom. I miss you so much. I can't believe it is two years since you have been with us in the physical world. I know you are still with us in spirit but I will always miss seeing you, talking to you, hugging you and saying I love you in person. This winter has been a tough one with all the snow we have gotten and I remember how worried you were when you heard snow was coming. With everything I do, with every shovel I picked up, with every pot of soup, or every time I cook something you made, or if it is something new I made I would say Mom I wish you were here to taste it with me. We had some best times together. I treasure all of them. I hope you are happy in heaven but please always stay close to me in spirit. I miss you and love you forever and always. Love, Angela

grandmom,
halloween is only a few days away and i'm smiling remembering the times you saw anthony jr. in his costume. i remember taking him to see you and he was excited and all dressed up. i'm glad i took pictures. these little things are precious memories and am glad i have them to make me smile when i feel sad. then in another thought i realized i never got to take vincent to see you on halloween and i have mixed emotions. i know you were there in spirit and did see vincent in his winnie the pooh costume....but we weren't able to see you. i'm glad you had those moments with anthony jr. and i just wish you would've had them with vincent to. you were only able to see vincent a few times...the first time i brought him to see him he was only a few days old. i'll never forget your face and how happy you were and how you held him. i will also never forget the last time you saw him was right before you passed. i guess what i'm saying is that i have many mixed emotions happy and sad...like life i guess. anyway grandma i love you and hope you are there with us in spirit this halloween. o and anthony is going to be batman again and vincent is going to be superman. love you and miss you grandma. xoxo

grandmom,
i've tried several times to write in your book since mother's day and nothing would come through. I miss and think of you everyday. i love you and am glad i have so many good memories of you and of you with my boys. sometimes i still can't believe you're gone and still pick up the phone to call you but have to remind myself you're not there....so i talk to you in heaven instead. love you always.

June 27, 2013

Hi Mom,
Was just thinking of you and our last hours together. As I go over those hours I realized that I was so reserved when it came to talking with you. I felt that you knew how that by me being there was all that matter I miss you and now looking back I wished that I had said I love you.

June 10, 2013

Hi Aunt Mary: It has been so hard for me first losing you and then my mom. I knew she would follow you quickly because of your twin connection but it still hurts so much. I wish you were still on Beulah Street and I could see you and talk to you, and complain and laugh about my dad. Believe it or not, he misses you too. He told me so the other day. You were the best godmother anyone could ask for. I know you are at rest in a better place with no breathing issues. I love you, always.

Hi Mom, I'm sitting here at work and seeing your photo above my computer and wish I could call you. I have so much to talk with you about.

Today is a tough day...it's dreary out and there are times I drive home from work and wish I could call you. I still have your number and photo in my phone.

I know I wasn't the best daughter but I'm so glad we had that last year together. It was a blessing for me.

I miss you and love you and pray you are happy and healthy in heaven with all your family.

Love you,

Theresa

June 5, 2013

Hi Mom, Just want to let you know how much I miss you and how you are with me in everything I do. I wish you were still here so I can talk to you and hear your voice answering me. I know you are in heaven and looking at us and praying for us. Thank you for still being there for us in spirit. I miss hugging you and saying goodnight I love you. Thanks for being a wonderful mom. Love you so much. Hugs and Kisses, Angela

Aunt Mary,
I'll never forget the time I was taking care of my Mom and Dad, October 2011. My Dad wouldn't let me cook broccoli rabe at night because he said you don't cook at 7:00 p.m. So you took the broccoli rabe over to your house and cooked it for me without mincing the garlic (as I like it) and I was so happy you had done that because I was so exhausted doing so much. Thank you so much for doing that little act of kindness.
I miss talking to you and my Mom. I know both of you are in a better and safe place.
Love you - hugs and kisses

grandmom,
what can i say except i miss you dearly. the past week i have went over many things in my mind about your last weeks on earth and just don't have words really. i know you are still here with us and watch over us and guide us and pray for us and in that i find some comfort. we had so many good times and memories and i will always cherish that, as well as, the bond we had. i love you. i miss you. please continue to watch over and guide your loved ones. please pray for us as we still pray for you. may you RIP and May God Bless you always.

Hi Mom, Just lighting this candle in your memory on your first anniversary in heaven. Theresa wrote such beautiful words about you and how you touched so many lives. Our lives are still being touched by you because you will always be within in our hearts. I love you and miss you so much. Love, Forever and Always, Angela

OMG...I just realized something and my heart is aching!!!

When I wrote the letter to my mom in Legacy and copied it here I left out two very special little ones! I wanted to make sure I added everyone's names and forgot two of mom's special angels.

Sabrina who my mom loved with all her heart. She always wanted to hear her talk and always prayed for her. I know if anyone can make that miracle happen it would be my mom begging God to do it. If not, I'm sure my mom can understand everything Sabrina is trying to say. After all, in heaven everything is perfect and mom must be loving Sabrina's conversations with her. ?

The other one is Noah...how could I have left out the little boy who loved my mom so much and who still cries for her because he misses her? I am saddened that as much as I tried to write everyone's name there were two special ones omitted.

Please know that it was unintentional...my mind and heart were all over the place....

No one brought this to my attention but as I re-read the message tonight I cried....I am truly sorry for leaving out two special ones in my mom's eyes and heart.

Love you forever Mom

Theresa

February 28, 2013

Mom, a year ago I watched as Angela laid her head on your shoulder as you lay sleeping and stroking your forehead and talking to you as you took your last breath. It was so hard to accept because I never really saw you sleeping...so it kind of took me by surprise because whenever I visited you at home you were always awake. To see you just lying there was difficult especially knowing that earlier in the day you were alert and seemingly in no pain.

You were a very strong woman...you endured so much in life and you stayed strong to the end. No bitterness....no anger...only love for everyone. You didn't deserve a lot of what happened to you in your adult life but you did the best you could. I could only pray that I can be as strong as you were.

I pick up the phone to call you because I need you and realize you are not going to answer; however, then I talk to you in heaven and I KNOW you listen and ask God to stay by my side and by the side of all the ones you love.

I miss you....you would always tell me I knew the right things to say....however I don't have any words right now that can ease anyone's heartache that is missing you.

Let all your children and spouses feel your presence today and fill their hearts with peace.

Please blow kisses down to your great grandchildren and send some funny comments to Nick, Chris and Anthony and send hugs and prayers and gentle kisses to Geri, Brianna and Kristyn.

Everyone loves you and everyone misses you....you are tucked deep within our hearts and will be there forever.

Love you so much, Mom. ?

February 27, 2013

Hi Mom,
wow what can I say that has not been said. Except that you are missed .There are times that I still think to call you to see how you are doing then I remember and realize that you are ok and enjoying heaven with your parents, and brother and your sisters. By now you probably have seen God and our Blessed Mother. and all of the saints. Ask them to keep your family in their prayers. I miss you Mom and once more I would like to hear you say you love me so I am able to say it back to you. I allways knew that you loved me.
love mary

Mom I love you and miss you so much that my heart aches. I can't believe it is going to be a year soon that I have seen you, talked to you and hugged and kissed you. It has been the most difficult year of my life. I think of you constantly still which makes me feel that you are still with me. You will always be with me in my heart and in everything I do. I hope you are enjoying heaven with your parents and brother and sisters especially your twin Aunt Angie. I miss all of you so much. Love you forever and always.

January 12, 2013

Aunt Mary: I still miss you the same as I did almost 1 year ago. I miss your smile, your hugs, your kisses and mostly you. I think about the times on Beulah Street with the card games and hollering at my dad. Take care of my mom. Thinking of you and missing you.
Your godchild,

hi grandma,
the holidays came and went and you weren't there. i've had my moments and tough times but my boys get me through. i hope u had a nice holiday season in heaven. you were greatly missed by your loved ones on earth. i will be going to see you soon to bring you some things for your grave that i bought for you months ago...just can't bring myself to go. i will tho. i still have my decorations up because i can't bear to take them down. putting them up was ok...it was like you were here with us...taking them down is so much harder especially with the special things i have of you up. taking them down means that everything is over and again you weren't here. i'm going to have anthony help me because its going to be too hard. this new years was ok..i wanted to go to the parade but with the kids and weather thought about if it was too cold where would we go...we have no where to go now. you've missed ant jr.'s birthday and vincent's 1st birthday...again was hard. i'm doing ok grandma i miss you so much and i know you were there in spirit for all these occasions but its not the same. i will keep moving forward and do have some good news..when i think of you yes i'm still sad and have moments of tears, but now after many months i can think of some good memories and smile...then cry..but i do smile for a bit...just like you told me in one of my dreams. i will forever love you and be grateful to you for all you've done for me and my family. the joy you brought to us and the love we all shared together. my boys may not remember how much you loved them as they grow but i will make sure they know about you and how much you cared. ant jr. asks about you sometimes and its hard but i just tell him the truth...you are an angel in heaven watching over us and will forever be in our hearts. i'm probably rambling now and thats ok you know how i can be. just want to say how much i love you and miss you. please continue to watch over us and be our guide...our angel. God bless you now and always.

Hi Mom,
Today was a very hard day. christmas came and went and yes there were tears etc. but on the whole not to bad. but today was the pits and it started a few days ago. I was remembering all of the new years eves and days that I spent with you. and yes i was sad and tearful i felt that my heart was ripped in 2. so how was i going to deal with this heartache and what came to mind was your veal dish every new yearsa you made this, so i tried to well i forgot the peppers so i used string beans instead. it was not like yours but it was ok. hopefully next year will be better. cant beleive that almost a year has gone since I last saw you. You are missed mom more than you realize.R.I.P.

Love you ,

grandma,
today was your 1st thanksgiving in heaven, and my 1st thanksgiving without you. my heart aches and no words can express what i've been feeling. i know you're ok and at peace. i know your love for your family continues on earth eventhough you are no longer here. i know you are watching over all your loved ones continuously and are our guardian angel. it still hurts but i do have some comfort because of recent weeks in my life. life is hard sometimes and my prayers to you were answered. i know for a fact that you were responsible for the good that is happening to my family and i want to thank you. i thank you for the miracles you bestowed upon us. i thank God for having 30 wonderful years with you. i thank you for all the memories and moments we have shared. i thank you for being my grandma. i thank you for being there for me always. i thank you and God for bringing us so close. i thank you for treating my boys wonderfully. i thank you for being you.....the list can go on and on. eventhough it still hurts i know you are there with me and your loved ones always. i love you and miss you. hope you had a nice thanksgiving in heaven. May God continue to bless you and all of your family. love you always. xoxo

grandma today was your birthday and i went to see you but it wasn't how i wanted it. i sang happy birthday to you but it wasn't how i wanted. i sent you a gift but not how i wanted. basically i know you're gone watching over all of your loved ones on earth but today wasn't how i pictured would be. i still miss you so much and my heart still hurts. some days are easier than others but one thing will never change my love and respect for you, and how i miss you. i feel sometimes a part of me is missing and that part is with you in heaven. i hope you're having a nice birthday and your family is singing to you in heaven. love you always and forever. happy birthday grandma. xo

(((( Mommy)))) My heart aches every day missing you and your voice...every morning I think of you as I drive to work...especially when I see the sun rising over the water...it feels so peaceful and that is the time we have together. I talk to you and pray that you talk with God to help guide us through our daily lives. Today I was remembering you praying two nights before you died. There you were...in hospice and saying your prayers. You loved God and even with all you went through in life your faith never wavered. Hope you're at peace and smiling and please send some warm hugs our way as I'm surely sending them to you. (((Mommy)))

Mom, I know you had a rough life....being motherless at age 19. I cannot imagine the pain and loss you felt at such a young age. Life was not easy for you in the least but you did your best. I will treasure this past year in my heart always. I am so blessed and thankful we had this time because so many do not get that chance.

You were a strong woman to the very end. You had dignity and never complained once...who else would be like that when faced with what you faced? I believe like Aunt Lucy says...you are an angel up there and I know you will always be in my heart...that place that is reserved for only you and no one will ever replace it.

Say hi to Jennie and Jim for me too. I know you had a nice reunion.

Please watch over all of us. We all love you and miss you...help guide our way when we veer off the path God intended. (((HUGS)) and much love always.
