Hi Jen,
I can't believe it has been 19 years. I was looking at some old pics the other day and thinking I need to give these to your sons. You now have quite the family with you now, your mom and dad, gram and Pop. And grandmom Kitty is there with you too.
Love to you,
Aunt Mary

And now you have your mom with you. As painful as it was to watch her go, I am so happy that you two are together. Now you are surrounded by your grandparents and your parents. Hugs and love to you all.

Mom, it's been a while... not having you around while growing up was pretty tough, but what's worse is not having you around for your grandson. But hell everyone in the family has a good story to share once he gets older. I miss you and grandpa everyday. Hope you both keep watch of him as you did for me. Much love from your oldest.

My mom was talking about this guest book recently and I realized that its been a while since I have been on. I reread most of the entries today and it felt so good to laugh at imagining what shenanigans you and Grandmom are getting yourself into. And I cried and cried too of course. Any mention of your boys breaks my heart. Your unexpected and early passing has always been terrible but I thought time would make it easier. Instead I have found that it makes it even harder. Love you. Happy Early Birthday.

Jen, I was talking about you yesterday with the mom of a girl one of your boys likes. I was telling her what a great mom you were, and it made me think how good it is to talk about you and to remember. You will always be a part of all our lives. Like the words to the Titanic song (you liked) "Your Heart Will Go On". Hope you and grandmom are gossiping away together. Keep watching out for everyone! Love, Aunt Mary

By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me.

Hi Jen,
I was thinking of you and your boys this weekend. We took your grandmom out to dinner for her birthday and Aunt Kathy brought up the picture of you, Jimmy, Shannon and Julie sitting on Santa's lap. I remember that picture like it was yesterday. Time goes so quickly.
I always hope that your boys view this Guest Book from time to time and want to see us. They are getting older and I pray that they are doing well. We miss them. Please keep us in your prayers. You are greatly missed. - Aunt Mary

Hey, Jen. I seem to find myself thinking about you alot more than usual the last few weeks. Is it because of your birthday coming up, the 5 year anniversary, somebody trying to tell me something? I am not sure if I will ever know but I am open to try to figure it out. I haven't seen your boys in so long but it doesn't mean that I don't think about them often. I pray that they are doing well. They must all be so big by now. Watch over your mom out there in that oasis: ) Miss you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Hello lady,
I haven't talked to you lately, but don't stress you are always there with me. There is so much to update you on. Tyler is 4 now, boy is he a cool kid, you would be proud. Candice is pregnant, another boy. Some day one of us will have a girl. I got married in September, It was really nice. After the wedding I had surgery, almost came to visit you, but I am sure you were looking out for me then too, like you always did and still do. I miss your boys a whole lot, don't see them anymore, mostly because of schedules, hopefully Harry can pass the message on to them that I love them. Well my dear, I have to get back to work. I love ya, you know that, and I miss you. I will try a little harder to keep you updated.
