HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Mom
Its been 10 years since we´ve been together. I miss you so much. Our hugs, conversations, our laughter our remember when. I needed you more
This last year than ever before. Just your presence, oh my God. The guidance, reassurance, of knowing its
Going to be OK. I banked my performance on what i thought you
Would do in a similar situation. I nearly
Made it but i got thru it. I remember
How you always stuck in there an came
Out a winner. How you had so little and turned it into so much. Thank you mom for all the teachings that i am just now appreciating. I cannot do anything about all the missed opportunities. But trust me I won´t miss any more. I
Don´t want to not try... because of
Possible failure when i didn´t even try.
I LOVE YOU MOM.
Pattie. June 18, 2022

Happy 93rd Birthday Mom. It’s been a long time since we be chatted. I’ve missed you sooo much. So many things I would have done with you. Oh I’ll do it tomorrow. Mom I am still learning
Tomorrow is not promised . I want to Cherish family quality time , live like today is my last day leave the housework go undone, call people I haven’t called in a long time. I’ve spent to much time on mediocre things. I plan on changing I saw how motivated you were all the way to the end how motivated all my children are. I can’t get back the time I’ve lost but I can make good with the time I’ve still got . Thank you MOM for being the mother that you were. Striiving to be more like you. I love you.
Your oldest daughter

Mom,
It has been 3 yrs. The pain and sorrow is just as real as the day I lost you. I think about you daily, and continue to miss our daily talks. Time has not healed my pain. Didn't write to you on Mother's Day because it was just too painful. I felt sorrow, feel as if I have no one to confide in, feeling somewhat all alone. I miss you so very much mom. I love you and think about you daily. Miss and love you

Hi Mom,
Just wanted to say how much I love and miss you. I think about you every day and at times catch myself wondering how I am making it without you here. You were so much my rock, my turn to person. You were such a role model for not only to your children and grandchildren, but to so many more. I truly don't know if you understood how many lives you touched. I tell many, I had a wonderful role model, MY MOM. I knew I could turn to you for any issues I would have, and like the terrific mom you were, you were always there to listen with a kind heart and a gentle ear. Mom you will forever be in my heart. I love you so much and miss you even more.
Love

Hi Gram,
I was just thinking of you. I feel your presents sometimes as I say something not knowing where that phrase or two comes from. I miss you. I'm even thinking about moving to New Orleans. Sometimes I still hear your voice saying....hey michellllllllle. I always wondered how many "L's" we're really supposed to be in my name. Sometimes I find myself still looking for answers as to what happened to you. I know you're still here I just haven't found out where. I'll always keep looking. I talked to aunt Gloria and she is a beautiful reminder of you, bless her soul. I just felt like today was a day I needed to tell you how much I Love and Miss You.
Michellllle.......

Hi Mom,
Just wanted to say how much I love you and think about you everyday. Every time the phone rings early in the morning, I think of you. I really miss my early morning phone calls. It gets really lonely not having you here to talk to, laugh with and just chat with. Although it has been over a year now, I still miss you so very much. There is not a day that go by that I don't think of you. I long for a phone call, I long for a hug. I just miss you so so very much. I wish you were still here with me mom, you were my rock, my turn to person, you were my every thing, I could always count on you to uplift me. The lord is my pilot and you were my co pilot.
Mom this is just to say I love and miss you. You will forever be engraved in my heart.
Love you soooooo much

It hasn't gotten better with time. It is a constant daily emotional struggle for me. I miss you so much and love you so much.

I think about you so often and wish so many days and hours of the day that you were here. I miss our chat sessions, I knew I could always count of you to give advise when I asked. It is a totally different world for me mom without you here. It has been 1 year and I have just as much pain as I did when I was told you had passed. It is very difficult not having you here. You were one I could always count on to help ease my frustrations, pain and sadness, and now you're gone and I feel alone. I know I will get passed this feeling as I have in the past year. Just want to say mom how very much I love you and miss you. You will be in my heart forever.
I love you mom and always will

Hi Mom,
It has been a few months since I wrote to you. I thought if I didn't write, my pain of missing you would be more bearable, I WAS WRONG. I continue to have the pain and sadness of loosing you. I miss you so very much and continue to love you so dearly.
Well we held our first year family reunion this year, thanking the Lord for all the wonderful years he shared you with us. Not everyone was able to attend physically, but spiritually we were a cohesive force. The great thing is that we all knew that you were right there with us. Even Kaison, who is now 1 was able to visit, and although he never met you, and too young to understand, he got a good earful of his wonderful grandma Jessie (aka Granny Goose).
Your legacy will always live on in all of us (kids, grandkids and great grandkids), and I thank the Lord on a daily basis about how very thankful I am to have had you in my life.
I love you mom, always will.
Love
Your daughter

Hey Gram,
Today was the day! I was at Target and was looking for my Mothers Day cards when wow something hit me hard. I started to cry when I didn't think I had it in me. I'm feeling butterflies inside and I know it's you. The more I looked for cards for my Mom from the kids, it seemed as if I could only see the word Grandma. Your my Gram and it was that moment when I realized just how much I miss you. Oh how I wish you were here. I see the family still struggling and I just couldn't see the pain. I tried so hard to just remember you as if you were still here, but today was the day that the reality really hit me. I just want you to know how much I will love you forever. Happy Mother's Day to the best Gram that I could have ever been blessed with.

Mom,
Happy Easter to you. I love and miss you so very much. I still wait for my early morning phone calls, and jump up to answer the phone when it rings. I though it would be easier for me after 10 months, but its not. I still get sad, and wish you were still here with me. You were always the one I went to when life seemed challenging, and believe it or not, I still continue to go to you.
I miss and love you so very much mom, you are my guardian angel.
Love

Mom,
Its been 7 months since your passing, and I miss you more and more each day. The holidays were especially tough for me, as you visited during the holidays every year. I am so blessed to have had you in my life, and blessed that my children have had you in their lives. As I sit and think of you, I become sad that you're not here with me, but in reality I know you will always be with me. I love and miss you so very much mom. I is just so hard, even after 7 months.
I love you so dearly... and miss you much.
Missing you forever.

Dear Mom,
Today is Thanksgiving. It is my first Thanksgiving without you. It is difficult, as I miss you so very much.
Today and every day since your passing, I am very thankful to the Lord for sharing you with me. I can not be more grateful for all those wonderful years we had together, and the special memories I will carry throughout my life.
Mom, thank you for all you have done and given me. Thank you Lord for sharing her with me. I am forever grateful.
Loving you always,
Vanessa

Dear Mom,
The holidays are nearing....This will be my first Thanksgiving without you There is not a day that go by that I don't think about you and cry , and this is especially true now during this holiday time. I'm not sure if my holidays will ever be the same.
It is just so hard to let go, the pain is still unbearable, and time hasn't made it any easier for me. I can't seem to close this sad chapter in my life, the wounds are still open, and tomorrows are not just another day. It is somewhat like living with a missing part.... you know it is not there, but you still miss it.
Although I know you are in a better place, it doesn't ease my pain, and it doesn't make me want you here any less. I know you want me to be happy mom, and I try to find my inner peace by cherishing all the wonderful memories I have of you.
I am glad for all we had....you stood by me. I will always cry for the days gone by. You were my life, my friend, and my mother. I will forever miss you.
I love you so much mom, you are forever in my heart
Vanessa

Momma,
I miss you...so much.
Words can't begin describe the pain/lost I feel. I can't help it.
The world's a much colder and lonelier place.
Trying to find the strength to do anything…is hard. Forgive me.
I'll eventually get there but not now.
How could I; I lost my best friend, mentor and role model. I lost the person who knew me best, the one who consoled me or gave it to me straight when I needed it.
As much as I want to be you, be like you; I'm not. No one ever will be.
Miss Jessie you were an original, and for that I thank you.
I will eventually accept the fact that this was what was needed - you getting reacquainted with friends and family, getting the peace you deserve but not now.
But it's okay...I'll get there.
Love and miss you,
Patrick

It is been 5 months, yet it seems like just yesterday since your passing. The pain has not gotten any easier. I still long and wait for my early morning calls, those mid day lunch breaks and our good night chats. I miss hearing your laughter and your voice. You were my best friend.
Oh mom, I miss you so very much. You will forever be engraved in my heart. I love you mom
