MEMORIES IN MY HEART FOREVER
Janice Karabin
January 18, 2009
My Dearest Mom,
Forgive me for not being here when you passed. I feel that you didn’t want me here at your time knowing how upset I would be. I want to thank you so much for everything you have done for me over the years. You have been my rock, my support and my best friend. The fun we had going to flea markets, sailing on the QE2, all our casino trips, and doing things together will remain in my heart forever. I love you so very much. Please help me and guide me thru this transition and give me the strength to go on. I will miss you terribly. I know you are at peace and maybe you can now see and hear the wonderful sounds of heaven and God. I hope you are with your Mother and she greeted you as you arrived at the gates of heaven. When it is my time to come to you, please be there to greet me. I know I will see you again. Always in my heart. Your loving daughter, Janice

It was a great pleasure to get to know you as my mother-in-law. There will be an empty spot at all the family gatherings that will keep your memory alive. You raised a wonderful son that I love with all my heart. You will be missed by everyone who knew you.
Love, your daughter-in-law Linda

I am, as well as many other people going to miss you more than words could ever say. You have always been there for me thru the good times as well as the bad. Mom-Mom you were truly one of a kind. I have never met anyone that is even close to what you were to not only me but every one you knew. You were the greatest, strongest, kindest, most giving person I have ever known or ever expect to know. You are still an inspiration to me more and more every day. I try to live my life by the example that you were to me and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and I know you are in a better place. God bless you. I will always love you.
Mike.

Mom,
Unfortunately, the time has come that we both been regretting. Although we tried to prepare ourselves for this day for a long time, it still didn't prevent a piece of our heart being broken forever. We were both blessed with knowing one of the smartest, strongest, loving, and most-giving people you could ever hope to meet. Lucky for us, it was your mother and my grandmother. Mom, you have devoted the last 13 years of your life to be side-by-side with Mom-Mom, to take care of her, to keep her company, and to be her best friend. I know you'll always cherish those years, and I know Mom-Mom will as well from heaven.

We are all sorry to hear from your loss. You always kindly made your mom a part of your celebrations and life. I hope the memories will bring you peace.
I understand what you are going through, and hope you find comfort and love in each other, and in knowing she lead a long life.
Always remember the happy times and the smiles. That is what I try and do.
