Mom 10 years ago you left us! I miss you so much. Teresa and dad miss you terribly also!
I have struggled for the last 10 years with your death and with sister#2 passing 3 years ago it has been a big loss for us as you know. Teresa and I have become the best of sisters and the bond so strong between both us. So very thankful we have each other. She does a great job helping father. So very blessed to have you as my mother.

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side.
However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends,
children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy,
sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good
relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must
live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because
when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful
memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank
God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train
Love you honey

If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away
I Love You Mom!

To my Aunt Diane.....
I have had trouble knowing what to say here. All the things that normally spring to mind for this sort of thing just don't seem to satisfy my sorrow about you being gone or my heartbreak for Uncle Larry or your girls. So I'm just gonna say this...,......I'm sorry beyond words that I was in such a hurry and couldn't stop to say hi when I saw you and tracy at safeway the week before christmas. UPS is important to me but not more important then my family and I regret that more then you'll ever know. And finally you gave me the most prized childhood possession. My baby blanket. Something that is no longer of this earth either. As a result of my deep love of it my Mom would trick me and destroy it because it was so torn up and apparently stunk to high heavens. I still remember how it smelled and the sound of your laugh. Please keep in touch. Love you Kimberley Kaye
