September 15, 2016
Hello Beautiful,
You know that your parents need your guiding wings right now. It's a hard road they are on. I pray for only good news on your Dad. I am already so lost, I could not stand to loose them too. Give my honey and Gramma a big hug from me please? And give Kelli one too. I miss your little giggle, I miss everything about you. I love you my Amy!
Always,
AC

Hi daughter! I am so sorry it's been so long but 2016 has not been good so far for Dad and I. I pray we recover to the point we can at least be able to do all of our own household stuff. I love you baby and know you would be here too if you were still with us!!
I hope you are enjoying your health and celebrating Uncle Bob's 3rd year in your Heavenly Home now.
I love and miss you always,
Mom

Hello Amy,
Oh for shame, it has been awhile hasn't it? I am so sorry kiddo. How is Heaven treating you? You deserve the best!
Please wrap your fluffy wings around your parents. They need some tender loving comfort.
Dan and I are going over to their place early on xmas eve so we can help them. I plan to fix up your mom's hair.
I think of you so often, I miss you all the time!
I love you kiddo!!!!
Rest now Amy, you earned this eternity of peace.
Love You so Much!

Hello Darling!
To you from me baby girl "Happy Birthday" in heaven. I'm sure our family angels gave you a good day!!
The holidays are starting to come up so I am going to put my big girl panties on this year and enjoy as much as we can. Tim invited us to their place for Thanksgiving but my health has held us back from being able to do that. I would have loved to go there.
Keep on giving me some of your strength ok? it helps on "those" days.
I miss and love you honey, but you are healthy now! That gives me comfort.
Miss and love you always,
Mom

Hi Amy,
I just want you to know that I think of you often and keep you and your family in my prayers. I ran my first marathon in 2009 and I have now completed seven. During each race, I write your name on my arm and spend a mile thinking of you and praying for you. I know you are at peace in heaven and are dancing and laughing as your pain is no longer. I can see by the other entries how much your family misses you-watch over them. I wish you were still here, but your spirit lives on.
Your friend,
Jeanine

Hi Li'l One!
I'm sorry it has been awhile since I last came here to talk to you! You are always on my mind, you are not forgotten.
Just when I think I'm doing everything right I hear I'm not doing as great as I thought so I am dealing with some emotional days right now.
The Dr did lower my depression pills in half, only because I know you are healthy and I need not worry about you now, just trying to think happy times with you!
Tim & Crystal and the kids are doing well. Crystal is part owner of the company she works at!! Very proud of her! Gavin plays hockey so they will start getting busy again... Tadjah? She is a beauty Amy! Long curly blonde hair and a devilish smile!! :)
Jr moved out and is living with a buddy, Zach is still in Duluth living with 2 other guys in a house and Cody is here with us to get a job but most of all to get his GED by doing the classwork online. So far so good, but we still have eyes in the back of our heads!!
Dad and I are doing ok ...Uncle Dick is not doing well so Dad has that on his mind too. Well darling I think I've written a novel and am going to go take my nap. I love you Amy and miss you always,
Love Mom

June 26, 2014
Hi my darling!
We went to see you yesterday and once we got there, I felt a calmness that you are ok!! I'll bet you were happy to see Uncle Dan huh? It's still painful even after 6 years, guess the pain is a lifetime, no day goes by that you aren't thought of in some way.
Stay close to your boys, who have grown into young men! Be proud of what you made their path to follow.
I miss and love you very much,
Love Always,
Mom

Today marks the 6th year that you received your wings. It is still hard to believe you're gone and as much as that saddens me, I find peace and comfort that you are not suffering any longer.
The best gift you ever game me was my "pocket Amy" I get yo hear your sweet voice whenever I am missing you.
RIP my dear friend.
I love you,
June 18, 2014
Hi my li'l one! Well again, I had to pull some strength from you! Thanks honey for helping me get there...
Hope you are enjoying your time with all our departed family. Please give them all a hug and kiss for me ok?
I will see you next Wednesday.
The boys are doing very well! Think they are now on the right path and have been for quite awhile. So I worry less, I know you are with them!!
Loving and missing you,
Mom

Hi Sami Arah!
I think you are hearing that a great deal now. I just wanted to stop by to say hi and what 2 wonderful young men you have! You done good kiddo!
Keep you fluffy wings around your Mom. She is my best friend and I worry about her all the time. She doesn't go out much anymore and when she does, it's short. She gets tired real fast.
Give her some of your strength, my gosh, you had so much!!
;)
Love You Aim,
Always,

Hi honey!
Sorry I haven't been on here the past few weeks but I knew you were busy with Uncle Dan! Thank you!! He sees life so much clearer now .. he didn't realize how sick he was.
Did all of our family in heaven have Easter dinner together? I picture it now and I know Grama made potato salad, and Uncle Bob is laughing at Dad!!
I miss you so much Amy... sometimes I feel a quick wisp across my cheek and I wonder .. is that you?
Well darling, it's about time to call it a night, so sweet dreams and I will be back soon.
Love and miss you always,
Mom xxoo
March 13, 2014
Hi Darling!
Are you watching over Uncle Dan? Oh Amy it just breaks my heart to see my little brother who was close to joining you and the rest of the family who are angels!! Thank you for helping to push him back down here!
Your boys are doing well, Dad and I are doing ok too! AC could use some comfort so maybe go see her & Dad in their dreams!
Keep Uncle folded in your wings and help him recover!!
I love you and miss you so much my Li'l one,
Love Mom

February 14, 2014
Happy Valentines day in heaven my li'l one!! I'm sure you angels have angel food cupcakes, and make sure Uncle Bob gets chocolate!!
I think you are very proud of both of your young men now! Cody will graduate I believe next month, and is working at Walmart. Zach is back up in Duluth working 2 jobs, so both are busy. Keep your wings around them honey!!
I love and miss you very much!

Hello my Darling!
Hope your Christmas was a festive one!!
Needless to say it was our 5th year without you and it still seems unreal on these holidays. I think Christmas will always be our toughest holiday, just because you loved it so and made us laugh every year!! It wasn't a long day, your sister had surgery (I know you know that) and wasn't feeling the greatest and we all were a bit tired! Kids loved their gifts tho :)
Spent time with your two boys the day after and they had leftovers for supper..
Every once in awhile could you come see some of us in our dreams? You are very loved and missed Amy, that I promise you!
Love always,
Mom

November 29, 2013
HOPE YOUR HOLIDAY WAS GOOD! WE DID THE SAME, GOT TOGETHER AS A LITTLE FAMILY AND ATE GOOD FOOD. TIM, CRYSTAL AND I ATE A PIECE OF SKIN IN MEMORY OF YOU - - CHEERS IS WHAT I SAID!!

Hi Baby!
This is a special day for me for it was the day that you brought so much love and happiness into my life. Life still seems so empty and lonely without you but I get by remembering what you gave and what you meant to me. That... I will never forget. I miss you so very much!

Hi Kiddo,
It's been awhile since I came to visit. Shame on me! Your birthday is coming up, I know it will be mixed emotions. So much hear break and tears this family has had to endure.

Hi honey!
Did you and Kelli meet him at the gates? Please behave along with Kelli with Uncle Bob. He fought so hard, just like you & Amy but left so peacefully in Aunt Chris's arms. Keep her comforted ok? You looked at them as your 2nd set of parents , so I know a part of you will still be with Auntie Chris :)
Dad is doing ok, but wrap your wings around your family the next couple days ok?
Love always,
Mom

Hi li'l one!
I so feel the need to want to pick up the phone and chat with you. Guess those kind of feelings don't really go away do they??
Tomorrow your youngest will be 19 - doesn't seem that long ago does it?
Both boys seem to be doing well and with your guidance are going to be ok.
Just know you are always thought of, always missed and always loved! You are not forgotten my darling!!
I love you and hope you are dancing up a storm up in those beautiful gardens called heaven.

Hi Aim,
Just popping in to tell you how much you are loved and missed! A hard week for your loved ones, but they made it. Wish so much this was all a bad dream and I'll wake up and everything will be wonderful. You, Kelli & Mom would be here and nobody would be sick. Dreamworld, I know.
Dance away Amy, I know how you loved to do that.
Hugs & Love,

Hard to believe we lost you 5 years ago today my darling daughter!!
We continue to carry on your legacy, laugh about some of your dumb things you did, sometimes I want to pick up the phone to call you. Your legacy continues and I always tell the boys "if you really want to know what she all did, sit with Uncle Tim".
Tears still flow, hearts are still broken, you are so missed and loved!! We continue to do what you have asked of us! I know you are proud of all of us!
I will see you in a few hours, so go dance and enjoy your day with the angels!!
Love Always,

Hello Darling!
Well, there is finally a Zachary Lusk!! He wanted to be done with that before his 21st birthday, and he did!! Dad and Uncle Dan went with him. He just beams when you call him Zach Lusk ... that's the first thing I said to him when they got home and I hugged him (for you).
I know you are so very happy so I will not take up any more of your heavenly time.
Loving and missing you so much,

Hi Sweetheart!
Alot of good has been happening honey, and we are trying to wrap ourselves in the bits of happiness as much as we can.
Aunt Irene is living here now with Uncle Dan! Their grand daughter just turned 1 on the 1st!!
On Saturday Adam is getting married!! :) Put your wings around Aunt Deany Saturday! It's always beautiful for Mom's to watch their children marry, but the fact Grama is not here to share it with her adds a bit of heartache.
We are all doing ok - - carrying on with your legacy and sharing so many of your memories yo left us :) You were a hoot at times, think you would have been pretty funny at this wedding reception!!!
I love and miss you so very much honey,
Love Mom

October 15, 2012
Hi Aim,
Just wanted to check in and see how it's going in those fluffy clouds. I think about you every day. I miss our Auntie night and remember the one, you know, the HUGE bucket of popcorn that was stale and nasty. A few drinks later and we didn't care either. We laughed so much! You died a couple days before our Auntie night and Deany and I were gonna give you a nice foot massage. I will always regret that we never got to do that.
Your folks are doing well and like having Zach with them.
We have many bumps in the road but as always, we ride through them.
Love You Kiddo!
Sweet Blessings Aim!

Hey my beautiful Aim,
I want you to know that you raised an awesome kid! Z has such a huge heart and has been sooo helpful to me. He does not hesitate to help (even if it means he has to get up at the buttcrack of dawn..lol). You also have incredible parents. They have been so wonderful towards my little family and me. And never could of made it through the other night without my second Dad there. I can still hear your laugh whenever my little "crooked butt" cracks one of her jokes, or my little Bubbies does something to melt our hearts. You would love them both so much! I could sure use a little "boost" these days. Im sooo run down. Please hang out with Grams and give my Allie a squeeze when you see she needs it, when you find some time. You ladies are all quite busy these days! I love you and miss you, and really wish you were here with us. I know you and I would get through this all so much better together. The phrase "mini me" is sure sticking still. I know you told me to stop...but I just couldnt help myself. I love you and miss you tons.
Your "mini me"
October 2, 2012
Hello my daughter!
Just a few words for you today as I know you are probably busy with Grama's party today!
We are all doing as well as we can, taking it one day at a time.
Please comfort those you see are in need right now and keep your wings around Zach, Cody and Uncle Bob!!
I miss and love you so much darling,

Hi Li'l One!
Could you just tuck the boys in your wings a bit tighter? I think both of your babies need some extra comfort nowadays.

Hi Baby!
Visiting you yesterday after 4 years was as hard as it was that 1st year. How we all do miss you so much. Our lives are quite lonely without you to say the least.
Keep watching over your boys, especially the youngest and keep watching over all of us.
Love Always,

June 25, 2012
Hi my darling!
Zach, Dad and I came to visit your final resting place early this afternoon. Needless to say it brought back that day 4 years ago very quickly for all 3 of us. Still trying to understand, still trying to move forward as you wanted.
We took your Z to Red Lobster after and then to go see Uncle Bob for a bit.
He is now resting after a long day of driving and emotions running high, and just so full of love for his Mom and her entire family!! We told him how proud you and all of us are of him!!
It's been a long day, but just want you to know you are very loved and missed everyday until we all reunite again!
Missing and loving you,
Mom

This is to you from your "Z"..
Well, the teen years are over.. Wish you could've seen me turn 20 mom, I never thought I'd have to imagine that, yet alone live it. But I think you'd be proud, or at least understanding of the choices I make with what I have. Love ya mom.
By the way, save your strength cause I'll need it all 365 days from now ;)
June 8, 2012
Hello darling!
Well, your oldest son has turned 20 today! Hard to believe, and yet I can picture that day so vividly!! You were and always were a superb Mom! You groomed him well, Zach is making us so very proud ... He is amazing and yes ... still very much like you!!
I just know that somehow you are very close to him today!
Just wanted to stop in for a bit, but will be out to visit you on the 25th. Just look for the 3 lost souls ... Dad - Mom & Zach

Hi Amy,
I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day in Heaven...I know everyone here missed you though I bet. I was out at a restaurant last night and a woman showed up dressed in her Race for the Cure t-shirt and hat...I glanced at her a few times and she sooo resembled you...I kept staring at her and it brought tears to my eyes. I miss you my friend.....
May 13, 2012
Happy Mother's Day my darling! Miss your kisses, your hugs and your infectious laughter!! Zach was having a tough day, but I reminded him you are with him everyday, still doesn't take his pain away!

Hi honey!
Been thinking of you alot today and I'm sure it's due to Uncle Bob's health declining.
Keep your eye on your God-Father and sit on your Aunts' shoulder, comforting her when you see her get weak.
I know I have been asking alot lately, but this is so important to our family as I'm sure you & Kelli are well aware of.
Please give Grama a hug for me!
I love and miss you darling!

Hi Baby;
I know that it is always Christmas in heaven and that you are safe in God's hands, but for us we will always miss our Christmas baby here. It just will never be the same without you.
During this holiday season please watch over all of us, this family certainly needs you to guide and protect us.
From here to you in the heavens, Merry Christmas! Loving and missing you.

Hi Amy,
I hope you had a very Happy Birthday in heaven! I miss you and think about you often! My daughter Alli lost her best friend this past February...18 years old! She asked me WHY she had to lose her best friend at such a young age and I didn't have an answer for her. All I could think about was you and me at that age and how much fun we had and how devastated I would have been losing you at age 18....it was bad enough you were taken when you were! I miss you my friend!

Dearest Amy
Just a short note to wish you a Happy
birthday and to tell you how much I miss you. Think about you everyday and remember all the good times we had as you were growing up. Please keep watching over all of us, as some days we really need your gentle touch. I again want to thank you for all your 'words of wisdom' and pushing me along the way.
Will be back later to chat again.
Love You and Miss You
Kathy

Dear Daughter - -
Did you greet Shannon at the pearly gates? I know you will show her around and both of you can pick up where you left off so many years ago!
Rest with the angels honey!
Missing and loving you,
Mom

Hi Darling!
So did you see how pretty DJ's daughter is? Uncle Dan is such a proud "PaPa" Amy ... it's amazing what a new baby can do to give some ease to our pain! DJ is very attached to his little girl already .. very cute to see.
Sounds like Z may be down Friday to spend the night with us, he wasn't sure. Did you comfort him when he came to see you a few weeks ago?
Just stay close to them honey - - they miss you so! It's getting around the holidays and that makes our loss of you more magnified! Don't think that will ever change.
Our little family all seem to be doing well, and little Gavin & Tadjah would bring smiles and chuckles to you! Not babies no more that's for sure!
Guide all of us darling, and stay close!
Love and miss you,
Mom
xxoo

Hi Aim! I know it has been far too long since I have written you. I know you know all about my new addition. I know for a fact he was hand picked and sent to me by a couple of pretty special angels because you dont get such a perfect baby without a little help! Thank you. We need him more than ever. I know you guys have a lot on your plate and a lot of us to take care of, but please keep watching over my Dad and mom. And my Sierrah and Allie. They all need a strong angel to watch over them. I miss you all the time. I even scare myself at times when I look in the mirror and am wearing my glasses...lol I think you do it on purpose some times! I love you and miss you bunches.
Love, your "mini me"

Hi Baby;
An old friend of yours Becky stopped over the other day with a bouquet of flowers for mom. It was really great to see her and it was nice to hear her share some of her stories about you and I'm sure that she enjoyed some of our stories about you. She still grieves your loss as much as we do.
Please spread your angel wings over us all, especially Uncle Bob and protect us.
Missing you as always.
Love Dad
