Dear Paula ~ Now that I've turned 50, I realize that I am only two years away from the length of time you were with us on this earth. Life here is so short even if we live to be 100! You are a beautiful soul, and I still feel an amazing connection with you in spirit. I know you are alive and well, and it's only a thin veil that separates us. Thank you for sharing your beauty with so many people. The effects of your love are still with us today. Love you my dear sister, Lisa

Christmas isn't the same anymore. I try to smile, and make the best of what God has given me, but you were what made my christmas when you were here. It is impossible to explain to what extent i miss you. I see you in my dreams, and it makes me happy, but then I wake up. No matter where I am I'm not at home, cause I'm not with you. I love you so much Mom, and I miss every conversation we had together. I miss the way you spread your rightousnous, for nobody can do the same thing you did, nobody can give such Love. As i build a career for myself I remember how proud you were, and it helps me know how proud you are of me today. I'll make you proud because I know that I have the dedication to. You gave me that dedication, and I wont let it slip away. As you watch over us, remember that my happiest moments were with you. You are my inspiration, and your spirit is what guides me.
I love you, and I will miss you until the day I die.

Dear Paula,
I know you are watching over us all.. I could see you smiling watching our sucess...and shaking your head with our failures. You
would tell us, " life is too short to waste, make everyday count. go towards the positive with every step..." you would be so proud of
your children...Pray for the one who struggles...pray for us all.
Love Diane

Dear Mom,
Some Days are harder than others but not a day passes by tht i dont think of you. What breaks my heart the most is the thought of how much I miss you, and if that is at all like the way my baby girls miss me it is almost to much to bear. But there is when your memories step in and how could i say what is to much to bear while looking back at how you have overcome the challenges in your life, and I dont remember you ever giving up because it was to much to deal with. For this i honor you mom! I am going to bring the girls home with me in June at the latest and I hardly need to tell you how much they miss you. Or how much I miss you, how badly I need to pick up the phone and talk to you some days let alone have a cup of coffee and a cigerette as bad as it might sound these things where of my favorite times. And of course just lying around your house watching the girls be the crazy kids that they are, they could always make us laugh.
Well I know that one day we will be togather again.
I love you mama.
Love Always

Somebody asked me the other day,"If you had one wish, what would it be?" I said "to have my mother back."
'round the same time last year
I was lying face down on the floor of a C17 jet, crying my eyes out.
I did not want to be on my way from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles to be by your death bed. I hated Saudi but I would have stayed a lifetime in exchange for your life. I could not belive it was happening and it all happened so fast. God knows what he is doing and there is a method to his madness but that never takes the pain away. I still weep for you and remember all the good times we have had. I can't remember the last time we had a fight. I am glad for that. I miss you and I love you with all my heart. You taught me so much and are still teaching me as I read though some of your writings. You are my light mother. Thank you for being with me.
Love, Honer and Dignity

They miss you lots and lots too! Mama just know that I still love you and miss you everyday.

"Stay with me..."
Like shards of metal that cling to a magnet
my memories of you stay with me...
As the teardops roll down the side of my face
everything you've shown me stays with me...
As I search for the right words to put in the right place
every poem you read to me stays with...
As I confront evil and fight for Grace
The Christ that you've shown me stays with me...
As I search for meaning and find my reason for being
the wisdom you gave me stays with me...
And when I feel like I've failed and should no longer be breathing
the pride you've had in me stays with me...
When I'm lonely and my heart's broken, though strongly beating
the Love that you've shown me stays with me...
And when I lay down to sleep and I feel you pray with me
I know that you'll always stay with me.
In Loving Memory of you, Mom,
from your proud son, Nick Freeman.
I miss you infinitely, and the pain never subsides.
Every time I surf, everytime I write, I remember you always.
Every time I hear Mozart or Beethoven or Chopin,
I think of the glorious times we shared listening to those beautiful sounds,
I would give everything to do that once again.
I have grown impatient, and I don't want to wait until I am in heaven with you,
But I have to, and I know that you want me to.
If ounces of my Love for you were grains of sand, there would be no more room
left in the universe, it would be nothing but sand for infinity.
I love you, and I miss you. Thank you for everything, and for being my everything.
Love, Nick.

I am finding it hard to make it through the middle of February...I wake up each day remembering exactly what I felt last year at this time and it is still so new and so real to me...I am having a hard time believing that it has already been a year since the Lord called you home to be with him.
The pain is so raw, like a big gaping hole in my heart. I miss you still so much. I am comforted though knowing that you are watching from above and that you would be proud of me. I will be sober for 5 months on the 23rd! And I know that you would say "Good goin Sal" and give me a nice hug & tell me to keep up the good work...Thanks for all the love you gave me all those years Mom. And you taught me about un-conditional love...You always loved me no matter what. Thank you Mom.
Love Always, Forever, and After...
Always your oldest,

Dear Mom,
It was a very sad Christmas without you, I was Christmas shopping and I would see something I wanted to get for you, and then that sinking feeling would overwhelm me when I'd remember that you weren't going to be here...I had to leave the store because I could not stop crying...I miss you soo much. It hurts. There is a gaping hole in my heart. I love you, and think of you every single day. I do get comfort though knowing that you are watching over all of us. I have over a hundred days sober now and have had no desire to drink or numb my feelings. I know you are helping me to stay strong and I thank you and I thank GOD everyday. You truly are missed Mommy.

Dear Mom,
I am so grateful for the magical little miracles that you show me every day. Without your guidance I would have given up long ago. I have been learning alot of hard truths since you have been gone and now I truly believe that you were the glue that held us all together somehow, even during those times when you had to be away from all of us. I can see now that those were "your times", and at your own expense, you always accepted responsibility for your actions and accepted the blame, and of course often labeled "the bad guy" you always held your head up high and marched on. What an incredible woman you were to have been so strong and patient with all of us, NEVER hurting anyone with harsh words or creating a scene. You truly knew the meaning of "Un-Conditional Love" Thank you for that Mom. I am so lucky to have experienced that kind of love. You are my hero.
ALways,
Your Daughter,
"Sal"

"RUDY'S ANGEL:
I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 37 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.
Rudy often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands. Rudy knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since Rudy had passed on.
Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two. Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how Rudy had loved his steak. Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blond, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bones, dropped them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know."
I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes. "My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. "Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together." She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away.
I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy .A quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream section near the front of the store. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone. I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo encircled her blond hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine. As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my yes.
"These are for you," she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. "When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for." She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision. I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal.
How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Rudy , you haven't forgotten me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his ANGEL. Everyday be thankful for what you have and who you are." (Author unknown)

Hi Paula,
This is weird for me, I don't know what to say...I miss you a lot, and I miss telling you the stories about my trips to the grocery store.
Things have changed so much since you've been gone. I wish you could come back. I love you and miss you.

I think about you everyday Mom. Do you remember when my friend Shana died? Well you were saying that you could not understand how her Mom was still able to function. I know that it would have been hard on you to see something happen to anyone of your children and you never had to go through that. Well Shana's mother died the other day and now they are together in heaven. I was thinking of how it will be when I get to see you in heaven. It won't be for a long time because I plan to live a long life but it will be a happy time when it does happen. I was just thinking of you Mom. I love you.

Dear Mom,
I was going to try and wait a few days before signing in again, but my feelings just won't wait...
I wish you were here to talk to, oh how I miss you Mom...
Anyways, I realized today that I have been very selfish and self centered... I have let myself become completely isolated from the family... Mom, I feel so bad... How do I go about making amends???
I feel as I've been buried beneath the weight of the world...
I am depressed and sad. But I can no longer just say that it is because you died..
Yes I miss you, but I also feel so isolated.. And I miss Dad so much!
I miss talking to everyone....
I love you all.
Love,
Sally

I have a hole in my heart...
Just when I think it is a little
easier...the thoughts of you fill my eyes with tears...and I get the biggest lump in my throat....
I remember the young, beautiful teen
who would leave her house in Pasadena....walk her way up Fair Oaks in Altadena at 5am and be tapping on the windows..." Diane, let me in ...it is cold out here!"
You knew you could NEVER wake my brother up, by tapping on the window!!!There you were, hair perfect, make up perfect, clothes perfect at 5am!!!It must have been love that motivated you.....
Or how about the times you would stay over...we watched Susan Hayward movies...you would have your hair rolled in those big round rollers...no make up..Don must have been in Chicago, cause you wouldn't
let him see you without make up at
that time.
You always reminded me of Susan Hayward, (without your makeup)
and to this day when I see one of her movies, I think of you.
You are missed.
Love, Diane.

Hi Mom, Happy mothers day! Say hi to jesus for me. I miss you so much mom. I was at work today and i was thinking about how proud you were of me when i got that job. I wish you could still be here to tell me that. I miss the way you would wake me up with a fresh cup of coffee, and it was always the best coffee i had ever had. I love you soo much. I miss all of the conversations we had together, even though i remember them and replay them in my mind. I miss the wisdom you would teach me, and the morals that you gave me. I miss all the 99 cent store iems that you bought me, even though i never asked for anything. I miss the stories you told me after you came home from work. I miss helping you with all your projects and cakes and things when you got irritated by something. I love those memories that you left with me. I am so thankful to have had such extraordinary memories, and also to have the greatest mother to ever walk the face of the earth. I love you more than life itself, and i know that you are watching over me.

Happy Mother's Day Mama Bird
Today was a tough one for me. I miss you as we all miss you, so very much. I was reading the "nestling" series of poems that you wrote for me and I kept thinking of how I am your little nestling and you are my Mama Bird. I think you lived up to the bird name a little to much cause you really are a bird now. I always think of you when I see birds and I seem to take birds as a sign from you. A bird even came into the shop where I work and could'nt find it's way out. It was really scared but it eventually flew away. I thought it was you just visiting me(I hope).
Well Daniel and I are getting married. As you said the last time that we spoke,"Summer, you are in Love!" I am sooo happy with him, he is so great to me. He got to see you before you passed away, if you don't remember.
I Love you and miss you with all my heart. Some day I will be a mama bird and I will follow in your footsteps by being so caring and compassionate. The thing that makes me cry everytime is the little stuff that I think about like christmas stockings and coffee in the morning. I love you so much Mother and I am soooo sad that you are gone. I will see you in heaven but until then, I love you (BIG Hugs) xoxoxoxoxoxox
Love Always and forever and then some,
Summer, your nestling!

To Paulas children and grandchildren: As I sit here and reflect on mothers day, I saw Paula. She loved each and everyone of you with her life. She was there for you when the world got rough. I talked with her many times, and she was always bragging about the kids and the grandbabies. Know that she loved you and think of this on mothers day. I love each and everyone of you also. If you need to talk or a shoulder to cry on, I will be here for you. You can contact me at anytime.Once again, know her love for you. She truly was a magnificent woman and a totally awesome mom. Love, Aunt Connie

I know that your children have always been the most important thing in your life and I can honestly say that I have never been so proud of anyone in my life than my nieces and nephews who welcomed me to Long Beach. I hope to spend happy times with them and our sisters Connie and Lisa in the years ahead, with you in my heart,thoughts and prayers in all of my days and nights.
With love,

Happy Mother's Day MOM,
I still wake up hoping
That this bad dream will end,
The road is so dark,
I miss my Mom, my friend..
My sorrow is so deep,
Mom the pain is so great,
Another day without you
and I am angry at Fate...
In my darkest hours,
When it seemed no one cared
It was you whom God sent me
When I was sick, and so scared..
You were my Mother, and my friend,
you always gave me hope,
And when life got me down,
You taught me to cope...
I can still see your face
Always so full of life,
Without you I don't know
How I'll ever endure this fight...
You were there when I needed you
And I can still feel you here,
That's what keeps me going Mom
It's Just knowing you are near.
Please stay with me always Mom
I will make you proud of me,
I will be the special person
That you raised me to be..
Be my strength Mom,
Please help me through this pain
Help me show the world
That your life was not lived in vain...
Always, Forever, and After..
Sally

I will do my best to be there for him always...
I love you.
Always, Forever, And After...

This weekend, on 4/26/03, we will be planting some trees in moms name. Some California Oaks and some others. These trees were donated in Mom's name by Paramount Pictures Inc. (A client of mine.) There was a grove of seven trees donated. After the planting we will be sending off some of Mom's ashes in fireworks. This is what she wanted us to do. If anyone is interested in a video of this ceremony please email me @ [email protected] I will be sure to get you a copy.

Paula dear: you were the very best sister I could have ever asked for. You were always there for me and I thank you for that. I am sorry we did not get to see each other when I was in california getting my guide dog Brumbi. You were a loving mom and I know the grandkids were the apples of your eyes. Here is a poem that I have written to you.
My sister forever
Paula dear, I say
why did you
have to go away?
I am in so much pain
as I walk in the rain
won't you come back to me
and stay?
You were always there for me
you hugged me
and kissed my bruised up knee
It's always been Paula and Connie
now I am left alone
my heart feels cold
like a hard hard stone.
I am in so much pain
as I walk in the rain
won't you come back to me
and stay?
I know how much you loved the angels and you believed in the angels, so now my dear dear sister, you get to fly with the angels. I know you will always be watching over us and I know that you will always be with us and I know that you will be my sister always. I love you so very much. Love, Connie

You are my guidance.
You are my light.
Through all the silence,
you help me fight.
Through all the darkness,
i know your with me, to
help me through hard times, and
get me through swiftly.
Thanks for the love, that you've
sent from above,
teaching me new things, with
no need to shove. I
love you so much, that these
words can't describe, all the
pain that i go through,
deep down inside.
"Mom please come back."
thats what i pray, but
if you just can't, then
please guide my way. I
miss you so much, i
wish i could hug you.
Be it known always, just
how much i love you.

To my dear sister, Paula. You have always been so beautiful inside and out, and my love has always been "great big" for you. I thought we'd have many years together here on this earth, but know with assurance that you are in a beautiful, glorious place. You've traded this life for an existence we can only imagine. I'm positive God's reward for you is far beyond your expectations. I love you, Paula, and know we WILL be together again soon. And there, the miles won't separate us.......You're such a beautiful angel....
