Wow 20 years seems like yesterday we had our long talks. Miss you more than you know. Arline

This the 20th anniversary of missing your laughter and the memories.Your spirit still remains in our hearts and thoughts.Knowing that you´re watching over us. We will love and miss you always.

Another year has passed and I´m thinking more and more of the good times we spent as our young family developed to what it had become.Itseem as if time just continues to pass quickly and I guess we all will be sitting around the table and dealing our 31 Games.Just wanted you to know it will be a great party as it was in the past.

Dear Mom it's been 18 long years since you've passed on to your Heavenly reward. Living without you hasn't been easy and I miss everything about you. I'd like to think I'm strong like you were but I'm sure that's not the case. I look forward to being with you again like Our Lord promised, it may be sooner and we should always be ready just in case.
I'm glad you're at peace and are watching over us while we continue along this crazy path called life. May is such a trying month. Keeping you close Mom in my heart and in my soul.
Love and miss you,
Your daughter Sandy

Another year passes by but the memories remain close to my heart. But you´re presence will always remain a steady beacon.

Happy Birthday memories fondly abound on this your special day.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom!
I'm missing you more than you'll ever know.

"Happy Mother's Day " in heaven Mom!
Miss you everyday...
Love,
Sandy

Mom
Thankfully I'm here to remember the 17th anniversary of your passing.
The saddest day of my life. Surrounded by your family and an ocean of tears, you peacefully slipped away. Nothing has been the same.
There are so many things I could tell you but I'm sure you already know...
Until that day when we're together again, watch over us and let us know you're near. The road is long, rocky at times but eternity will be ever so sweet.
Love and miss you Mom.

Mom
Happy 97th Birthday in Heaven! I miss you every day.
You know if you've been watching over us down here, there's plenty to keep up with. Tom, Jon and now me...Dr DeLuca came up with a plan for me yesterday. Praying it works. Faith, Hope and Prayers, will see us through these challenges.
God created us, loves us and has a plan.
Our future is in His hands.
There is always Hope, I'm glad my bucket list is short. A nice beach house is all I'm looking forward to besides a healthy future.
I opened a fortune cookie that said,
"Your road to Glory will be rocky but fulfilling"...hmmmmm!
Love and miss you Mom!
Love,
Sandy

Mom,
Here it is a few days before Christmas and nothing is "completed". Not the shopping not the planning not even the decorating is done. The signs of growing old surround me and sadness overcomes me. You see I've realized this is the first time in my life I'm about to celebrate the holidays without a dog in my life. I've always has at least one, mostly two dogs at a time and even a cat to round out the chaos. This year we are without a family pet and I am feeling the emptiness, the sadness and the loss of "Grace". Oh well, life goes on.
Miss you Mom especially now...
Love
Sandy

Mom,
Here I am, it's almost Christmas feeling sad...this is the only Christmas I'm without a dog, a family pet! Never thought I would be so emotional but here I am...
Missing you Mom
Love,
Your daughter

"Happy Mother's Day" Mom
Forever loved, never forgotten...

Mom
May 1st was "Sunday", "May Day", "The Feast Of Saint Joseph", significant days, cause for celebrations.
Sadly it was also the day you left us. My world forever changed, I grew up and grew old that day, my soul ached. Today, and the next few weeks Mom, we remember...
Love and miss you,
Sandy

Mom
Today we celebrate your 96th birthday with a beautiful "Ice Storm"!
I always expect a weather event in your honor. No balloons today, just memories, going through pictures of your 80th, the last one we celebrated together. These I hold close.
"Grace" found her way to Rainbow Bridge this past week. She was the best little soccer player! She loved her "Chuckit" ball, maybe you could throw it for her. I'm sure Max is glad to see her too. It's been a long 9 months. Not an easy birthday for Tom.
Keep a watchful eye on us Mom, letting me know you're close is comforting. The lights are a sign of change...
Love and miss you Mom.
Your daughter
Sandy
always give me heads up for change.

Mom
"Happy Mother's Day" to you in heaven...
I miss you more than I ever thought possible.
Love you Mom.

Many thoughts of you today.Pleasant memories of days gone by.

Mom...
I miss you Mom. My friend, my confidant. My one and only Mom.
Today 15 years ago you left this world, a world so different from today. A world you might
agree looks a lot like the one you lived through as a child. A world shaken at it's core.
The kids are getting older, lives are changing in ways we never expected. Haley graduates this year, there's no prom or walking across the stage on graduation day. A celebration cruise is on hold indefinitely. It's like standing in time, waiting to see the end of movie when the power goes out.
Remember those mysteries you loved to watch? Well this is one you may already know the ending.
You might already know how this turns out.
Love and miss you...
Your daughter
Sandy

Dear Mom...today February 18th is your birthday, you would have turned 95.
Dad would've been 100 on March 21st.
The years have flown by leaving us a lifetime of memories. One day I'll be a memory in someones heart and like you a good memory...
So until God fullfills His promise and brings us together again, you will be forever in my heart. Still missing you Mom.
Happy Birthday in heaven.
Love from your daughter.

Happy Mother's Day in heaven Mom...Miss you more than words can say especially today.

Time passes on but you're memories are what remain most in my heart you are missed but not forgotten.

Mom...today, a beautiful May day with lilacs blooming near your shed, Cardinals feeding and feathers gently falling from heaven remind me you're not far away. I hear your voice, catch a glimpse of you from the corner of my eye and dreams so vivid I know you're near. The void can never be filled, time does not heal but the memories tucked safe in my heart until Gods promise of being together is fulfilled. Looking forward to that time.
Love and miss you Mom.

Mom...we celebrate you on this cold, wet February day. Your 94th birthday.
Hardly seems possible you've been gone almost fourteen years.
The days keep on, waiting for no one. Weeks, months, years go by in a blink of an eye. I'm still holding onto those memories, pictures and your words
"You'll miss me when I'm gone", and I do more than I ever thought possible.
Love and miss you Mom.
Your daughter
Sandy

It's Christmas Eve Mom, the 14th without your presence and missing you...
The "Annalee's" have taken over the house this year, first time in a while.
Jesse missed them so he started the unpacking.
I had to move your picture, first time ever. I'm sure you didn't mind though, sharing the curio with the Christmas Reindeer and Santa's.
With so many things to do before Midnight Mass, I'm enjoying the memories of your love, generosity and holiday spirit...reliving them in my mind and heart. Not a day goes by without a reminder you're near. Not a thought or a glance from the corner of my eye goes without a smile. Stay close Mom and again let me whisper in your ear, "Merry Christmas", I love you Mom...

Dear Mom...
"Happy Mothers Day" in heaven.
Missing you everyday. You must be looking down wondering what the heck is going on.
Today, the girls learned a lesson in "routine", mine. Remembering Dads three S's, well as an aging adult I have a few of my own!
It's hard to keep a straight face...
Love you
Your daughter
Sandy

Love and miss you, Jo, every day. I hate May, honest, I do.

Mom
Thirteen years ago my world went dark. You were my light, my Mother, my friend, and you were gone.
Those darkest hours turned into days, months and years without you. I wondered how I would survive the emptiness, endless tears and sadness. Somehow, I did, and you knew I would.
So much has changed. The time was right to let go of some things and replace others. I know you would approve and probably wondered why it took so long. Letting go was painful, convincing myself it was okay took thirteen yearsand so it is done.
Missing you today and every otheryour presence remains forever in my heart and soul.
Love you Mom.
Sandy

Remembering all the celebrated birthdays and good times always on my mind. Time passes on but the memories remain.

Mom...
Remembering you on your birthday today, you would've been 93 years young!
Hard to imagine you being gone at all. In my mind you are in the next room, at the end of a text or living in San Diego. Never far from me.
There's a fresh snowfall, a white candle burning and many thoughts and memories in your honor! Missing you Mom each and every minute you've been away...
Love your daughter
Sandy

Happy Mother's Day In Heaven Mom...
I know you're there. Missing you today
and everyday.
Love from your daughter
Sandy

Mom...
It's been12 years since you left us, leaving behind a void much bigger than any of us could have imagined, especially me. Time does not heal, each day is not easier than the day before. We continue our lives, moving through the emptiness trying to fill the void.
Thankfullu your influence is all around us and it won't be long before I can say ...
"I've become my mother"!
Love and miss you Mom.
Your daughter
Sandy

Happy Birthday Mom
Always on my mind, forever in my heart....
Love and miss you
Sandy

Missing you especially today Mom :( Lasting memories of "Mother's Day" celebrations from the past, especially the Orchid corsages and the blessed "Madonna" pins and necklaces I gave you when I was in grade school at St. Gabriel's...

Dear Mom
Sunday May 1st 2005,11 years ago today...
A day that would forever change my life. You were gone, my world turned dark but life somehow manages to goes on...
On March 17th 2016 Kelly delivered "Layla" your 8th Great Grandchild. A definite sign of hope in this crazy world.
Timmy, your 1st Great is about to graduate from high school. What a contrast!
Oh, and the stories I could tell you about the ones in between! But you already know these things. Right?
Jesse, your youngest Grandson is more than halfway in his quest to become a "Fireman" please keep a guiding hand on his shoulder. I know you would be so proud of all these kids.
As for your own remaining three, Bob is still traveling the globe, Nancy is trying her hand at retirement and as for me I'm just growing old. The next in line to be a memory, a photo on the wall of life...
Mother's Day is in a week, Steve's 10th anniversary is a few days after and we're still mourning, still saddened by the loss. So I'm missing you Mom every day but especially today...stay close and keep dropping those pennies!
Love from your daughter
Sandy

Mom...remembering you today on your birthday, 91 you would be. Seems like yesterday we celebrated your 80th.
I know you're watching. Kelly is about to have her little girl and Kristen is keeping a watchful eye on her sister. Summer is struggling, oh how I wish I could make it right, and Jesse is about to climb that 35' ladder straight up into the world of being a firefighter. I so wish you were here, the G-kids could use a "Grandma Jo" in their lives and there's nothing I wouldn't do to have you back in mine.
Love and miss you Mom...
Your daughter
Sandy

Mom...
Missing you every minute of every day for the rest of my life.
Tonight, Christmas Eve, you made magic, memories and gave gifts from your heart. Cherishing those moments etched in my mind.

It's been a rough 2 days. Love and miss you all.

Missing You Mom...especially today!

Mom,days may come and days may go,you will always be in my thoughts forever. Love

I can't believe today marks 10 years since you you have been gone!! It still feels like it was yesterday. I miss you more and more everyday and wish you were here to see your great grandkids grow up and influence them with the Grandma Jo ways! You are always in our hearts and I pray that you continue to guide us in the right direction and watch over us as we hit the bumps in the road. Love and miss you always!
Love,
Kelly

Mom
10 years...
I can hardly believe it's been this long. May 1st will always be a sad day for me. Without your presence, I lost my way.
If not for the love and support of my family, I might have never regained my balance. Grieving became a part of life.
So many thing have changed, me, the kids, life as we knew it...
The one thing that never changes is death. It's so final here. You stopped being in our lives. Only your influence, your legacy and your memory live on. Those are everlasting.
Today being your feast day, St Joseph the Worker, puts your life into perspective. You worked hard for us, your family and for others. You gave so much of yourself without expecting anything in return. A saint with an open heart. A lesson we could all learn from.
So today, like everyday, you are on my mind and forever in my heart. Thank you for loving me and for not giving up on me.
I love and miss you Mom.
Your aging daughter
Sandy

Enjoying your birthday had many fond memories.

Mom
Remembering you on your 90th birthday. Wondering what may have been...
No wit, no sarcasm, no words of wisdom...
Just remembering
Love and miss you more each and every day.
Your daughter
Sandy

Mom
It's Christmas Eve morning and all through
the house nothing is done, no cooking or baking, no decorating or wrapping! How I miss your holiday spirit and excitement during Christmas. I have one wish this yearand iit's to recapture the days when life was simple, traditions strong and your presence felt...Love and miss you Mom.

Dear Mom
We really need to talk :(
I hope you're listening...

Mom
Today I've reached another milestone...the big 60
I never thought much about how I would feel or what this stage of life would bring without you being here to offer advice. Thinking back to 1985 when you turned 60, you were full of life and happy to be living in San Diego taking advantage of the warm temperatures, the pool and Jacuzzi. I wish I were in the same situation, instead I'm beginning to plan for a long, cold, hopefully snowy winter. Four months of hibernating, comfort foods and holidays. Turning 60 in the East won't be the same but knowing you'll be close, guiding and supporting me from above will be comforting.
Growing older isn't all it's cracked up to be but the alternative is even less exciting.
So here's to the rest of my lifetime making the most of what and who I've become.
I can't say I'm aging as well as you did since I resemble the Vargo's side more. I see a lot of “Bubba” in me and that should make Dad very happy ;)
Missing you on my special day!
Love from your daughter, Sandy

"May The Souls Of The Faithful Departed, Through The Mercy Of God Rest In Peace...Amen"

Dear Mom...
So I tried moving on and failed, TWICE!
I started a new job with a company whose practices I didn't agree with and quit after 23 days. Painfully it took 2 months to land another job, but I'm happy to say it was the right decision.
Secondly,I tried trading in my 02' Explorer, the last car you rode in, for a new SUV.
I returned it on the 7th day taking advantage of their return policy. There were just too many memories in my Explorer especially of us skidding around town during the dreaded snow and ice storm of 2005.
I know you're thinking "What", that's not like you, but more and more it is like me.
I refuse to settle for something I'm not satisfied with and I'm not making as many impulsive decisions as I used to. A sign of aging to perfection I guess...so I put your wallet back under my seat, your casino card back in the glove box and I'm looking forward to another 100k miles in my 02' Explorer...
I just wanted you to know!!
Love and miss you Mom,
Your daughter Sandy...

Mom...
Thank you for the morning visit, a little weird but comforting. I'm sooooo looking forward to the next time and I'm glad you know how much I miss you.
Love Sandy

Mom
Today is your day... because of you, I'm on the path you paved to becoming a mother, grand-mother and one day great-grandmother.

The same path your Mom prepared for you, now Kelly, Kristen and Summer are following close behind in our footsteps. I see you Mom in everything I think, do and say.

Those haunting words of yours..."one day you'll miss me when I'm gone" became painfully real the second you left us. Each and every day is in honor of you, for without you I would not be here and neither would the three young mothers who are following closely in our paths...
Love and miss you Mom
"Happy Mothers Day"

Mom could feel your presence at the Laughlin's casino ,guess you were having a good time as well.

"Day 1 Complete", A Lifetime Still To Go...

Mom...
Nine years might seem like a long time to some but to me it feels like yesterday that you left us. I still grieve, still cry and wish for one last time to tell you things, little things and whisper in your ear... you know how much I miss you and how hard each day is without you.
Today May 1st, your day, begins a new chapter of my life maybe the final one.
I dread this date, the darkest of days will now be a symbol of change and new beginnings.
Today I start a new job, meeting new people, learning new things and wishing you were here to share the experience.
Always on my mind and in my heart I know you'll be close.
Wish me luck...
Love you Mom.

Mom
Today Dad would have celebrated his 94th birthday. It's hard to fathom what his life would have been like had he grown old. I wonder...
"Happy Birthday" to my Dad. Give him a hug Mom.
Love and miss you.

Mom
Today would have been your 89th birthday. Seems like only yesterday we celebrated your 80th. Time continues to move forward but you are still a living part of my life, a constant.
Your room, your pictures, pieces of you surround me with your presence. Each day I catch a glimpse of you in the mirror, in my thoughts and always in my heart. As time moves forward I become more like you, thinking like you, wishing you were here to share this journey of an aging wife, mother and grandmother...
Enjoy this day in the presence of the Lord who holds you safe in the palms of His hands, living in the mansion He has prepared for you and hoping one day we'll be together again.
Love and miss you Mom

Spending Christmas in your old San Diego town of Mira Mesa the town that Santa would visit on ChristmasEve and enjoy the family's company,those memories will live on forever.

Dear Mom...You have some awesome grandaughter's.
Love and miss you.

Mom...the "great grands" are growing up ;)
Keep a watchful eye on them.
Missing you more and more!

Mom...
The winds are blowing...
Bright colored leaves are swirling all around. Squirrels are gathering their nuts for the upcoming winter and this pink flower is blooming in our garden??
A beautiful unexpected birthday gift!
Thank you Mom.

Mom...
Well today I did something I didn't think I was ready to do. Something I've been putting off for more than
8 years. "Purple Heart" asked for help and I donated your clothes.
I know this was a "must do" and will benefit many needy people. Your fashion sense will keep them warm and cozy, no doubt about it.
Love and miss you every day Mom.
Love Your Daughter

Mom
Just heard the news...Diana Miller is on her way,
Bingo, Bunko and Girl Scout Songs...
Save her a place.
Love and miss you Mom.

Mom
Another "Mother's Day" remembering you and all you meant to our family...
Love
Your Daughter

Mom
Today eight years ago you left us.
I never will forget that day
Now we have...
No Mom to whisper in her ear,
No Grandma Jo to entertain us,
No Aunt Josie to confide in.
Only in our hearts and minds.
It's been much...
Too long to believe you're on vacation,
Too quiet to think you're close by,
Too lonely to live without you,
Only memories of days gone by.
My heart still aches.
I miss you Mom.
Love from your daughter...Sandy

Mom
Today is Easter Sunday
and Justins 12th birthday.
I was so sure I was ready. Why wouldn't I be?
For the past 39 years I've had Easter dinner with all the family traditions.
Not this year...
We'll still have the family favorites; Easter Ham, Lamb, Kielbasa, Artichokes and Potica but something will be missing...
You see, early this morning when I opened the
"Betsy Ann" chocolate box, there weren't any chocolate crosses for the kids ??
I thought was it me or did they screw up my order?
I've never had a problem before! Sadly, It was my fault. I somehow removed the 10 crosses from my on line order. What a dilemma!
I hope the kids understand.
I'm getting older and finally acting my age, but??
Maybe it's time to assume the "Grandma" role. Who can blame Grandma anyway??
They say the mind is the first thing to go and mine is definitely on it's way!
I'm not sure if you're laughing Mom, but I'm not.
I can hardly wait to see what's next...
Love and miss you Mom.
From your rapidly aging daughter.
Sandy

Mom
Today Is "St Patricks Day"...Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Blessings And Jesse Watching "Leprachaun II" On Your Favorite SciFi Channel.
No Hiding Behind The Couch Now That He's 18 ;)

There Is More Sadness In Our Hearts...

Love And Miss You More Each Day.
Your Daughter
Sandy

Mom
Today is New Years Day 2013.
Three different times I thought I saw you while I was doing what you taught me to do best, in the kitchen preparing a traditional New Years dinner. Was it you I saw?
Tom said he felt your presence while he was saying grace...
I miss you so much Mom.
All the kids where here and their kids too. What a housefull, loud and crazy.
I wouldn't want it any other way...
Stay close Mom.

Mom
It snowed !! Maybe just for a short while but it "did" snow...
Thank you Mom for listening.
"Merry Christmas"

Mom
And so the countdown begins. It's Christmas Eve and most everything is done. Still no hint of a White Christmas. Really missing you Mom. Maybe on this Holy Night you'll touch my shoulder and whisper in my ear "Merry Christmas" my daughter you're forever in my heart. I love you Mom.

Mom
Today I made an attempt to prepare for Christmas.
Only 8 shopping days left...
I walked aimlessly through the mall. Tears running down my cheeks. Missing you, your spirit and all you meant to me in my life.
Somehow I knew this would happen and so I put it off until the last possible minute. I was hopeful that in those minutes just before panic, I would somehow be successful.
I'm no closer to being done than before I started today. Maybe tomorrow...

Love and miss you Mom.

Mom
Today as I reflect, I want to thank you for giving me life and raising me. Fifty years is a long time but these past eight without you have been even longer. Know that you are my guiding light and while I continue to learn life's lessons you ill always be in my heart and on my mind...
Love from your daughter
Sandy

Mom
Yesterday Jesse graduated from high school. You were supposed to be here. You would have been so proud!
You always told him to "stay a kid for as long as you can"...
Times up!
He's beginning the next phase of his life, about to be an adult in this crazy world. Well he says he has until November when he turns 18...
Yes! A reprieve!
Keep a watchful eye on him,
let him know you're there, the angel on his shoulder...
Love you Mom

Mom, we were so lucky to have you as "our MOM"....
Happy Mother's Day!

Mom
"Happy Mother's Day"
Today we celebrate all mother's.
Doing it without you reminds me of the the little things...
things that seemed trivial at the time mean more now than words could express.
It's not about the flowers or gifts, but the "looks", the "words" and the "touch" never to be again.
Only in our memories and dreams, longing
for an opportunity to have you close just one more time...
I'll reflect on those times now, forever and always.
Love you Mom

Mom another year rolls on by and thoughts of you and Steve will always be on my mind.Looking up helps me cope wiyh it all,enjoy ur hands of 31.Love Bob P.S. Still shooting in the mid 80's.

Mom
Today is a sad reminder of your passing. People say we should celebrate your life do "they" have any idea how painful it is to be without you? I think not...
I love you Mom, today, tomorrow and always.
Sandy

Mom
Today is Holy Saturday...
The eggs are dyed, the potica and Easter cheese are ready to be enjoyed with the ham and kielbasa. The baskets filled with Betsy Ann chocolates will bring a smile from those who appreciate the finest.
These traditions and more are being passed down to the next generations.
Yes Mom, you live on in our hearts, our minds and our families.
Missing you today, tomorrow and always...
Love Your Daughter
Sandy

It's a "Girl" Mom...
I bet you already knew that.
Maybe she'll name it Jo or Josie...
Love you Mom and miss you more!

"Happy Birthday" Mom

Missing You Mom...
How I Wish I Could Whisper In Your Ear
"Merry Christmas" I Love You.
From Your Daughter

Mom
It's Been A Very Long Emotional Week Before Christmas. Another Holiday Without Your Amazing Energy And Lust For Life.
No Shopping, No Decorating, No Baking.
I Don't Even Know Where To Begin...
I've Been Short With Everyone. I Just Can't Explain The Emptiness.
People Around Me Are Frustrated And Don't Know How To Help. I'm Not Sure They Can...
Did You Know Summer Is Expecting In July?
Love And Miss You Each And Every Day.
I Know You Understand Me Mom. Open A Path For Me, Lead Me Into The Spirit Of This Wonderous Holy Night. Help Me Get Back And Stay On Task. I Miss You Mom.

Mom
Still missing you each and every day of the rest of my life...
Fact is, the longer I'm without you the sooner we'll be together again.
Love you Mom...
Your Daughter Sandy

Mom
Today is "Mother's Day"...
Wish you could be here to celebrate.
I miss you more than any one person can imagine.
Love, Your daughter
Sandy

Mom
Today marks the 6th year we’ve had to live our lives without you.
Oh how I remember that Sunday, the family gathered in your room.
Rivers of tears flowed uncontrollably from my broken heart.
Prayers to the Lord for strength to endure those dark days that lay ahead.
You seemed at peace. I was not.
Kailee being only a month old lying next to you on the bed holding your finger from your outstretched hand.
Did you know she was there?
Was that the link connecting life and death, the new beginning?
I wish I never had to experience losing you…
On Palm Sunday we visited the graves. Tom wants it to be an annual pilgrimage.
I’m not so sure.
Love and miss you more than any one person can.
Love,
Sandy

Mom
Today on your 86th birthday, we're experiencing unseasonably warm temps here on the East coast.
I know you would have welcomed them in the middle of winter.
"Punxsutawney Phil" didn't see his shadow and that's a definite sign of an early Spring.
I never really understood this though when the calendar still showed 6 more weeks of winter?
No snowflakes, no raindrops or gray clouds, only clear blue skies.
I know this bouquet with it's bright colors will make its way up to you.
Enjoy...

If you wouldn't mind though, we could use another snow storm...
Tom missed his birthday blizzard!

In your honor Mom, the girls and I are planning to yell "BINGO" tonight!
Oh how I wish you could be here with us. Win or lose we used to have so much fun together. I remember you saying "Some people have more luck than brains"... Well I'm still looking for that "horseshoe".
I love and miss you Mom more each day. You will be forever in my heart and never, ever forgotten.
"Happy Birthday Mom".
Love
Your Daughter

Mom
I feel your presence...
I see you all around me...
Today I've unpacked some of your most precious posessions.
Ones that brought you the most joy...
Doll's, Doll's and more Doll's !
"Michael", "The Drummer Boy", "Noel",
"Let The Children Come Unto Me" (Tom's favorite) Even the "Village Square Carousel" you said was "Jesse's", all carefully packed for the coast to coast move. What an emotional day.
You always told me I'd have you close long after you were gone and you were right! I will keep you and your presence forever in my life.
Thank You Mom.
Love
Sandy

May 9,2010

Aunt Josie,
A little reminder of mother's day gone by. I miss the long talks. I think about you all the time and hope I make all the right choices in life as you have taught me.
Happy Mother's Day.

Arline Kish

Mom
Today is an emotional day...
"Mother's Day", "Steve's 4th" anniversary.
Painful reminders of your absence from my life.
A life you gave to me a long with life's lessons on being a wife, mother and grand-mother.
Roles you played so well.
This is a day we should celebrate together.
All I have are memories, precious memories of us. From these I take comfort always.
Know that you will never be forgotten.
"Happy Mother's Day" Mom.
Love from your daughter,
Sandy

Mom
Today is another painful reminder of the past 5 years without you.
You were the light, the forever burning candle that brightened the dark aura of my being.
Always keeping me focused with an eye on the future.
"Better days are ahead", you'd always say. Oh how I long to hear those words again.
Growing up and growing old oddly enough are two aspects of my life I can't seem to grasp. Maybe I never will. I do know it would be easier with you here beside me.
Memories of today, Mother's Day and Steve's anniversary are painful reminders of my own mortality and the dark days that lie ahead.
One day your mantra will come true. Here's hoping for those "better days that lie ahead"...
I will forever keep the candle burning.
Love and miss you more each day.

Mom,
I went to Pauma to celebrate your BD. I had a fun afternoon wishing you a happy birthday each time I spun the wheel. Thanks for reaching down and seeing that I won a hot seat jackpot. I remembered your advice, "leave early and don't give it all back." Happy BD Mom!

Mom
This has been a huge winter with record snow fall amounts of 40 inches, and still another 4 weeks to go...
Jesse can't beleive his eyes. A dream come true. He's back to wearing his pajama's the right way though, I guess he's tired of shoveling.
Tom can hardly believe his good fortune! Plowing for 5 days straight! Like winning the lottery!
Oh how I wish you were here to see it.
I remember the fun we had slipping and sliding on the icey roads together...
You tried not to laugh while we spun out in BJ's parking lot but said it was like being at "Kennywood Park".
Today is your birthday and just like every other day, I wish for more of those times.
Know that I love and miss you.
Sandy

Mom
Today is "Mother's Day"...
It's not the same without you.
Looking back, I take comfort knowing I learned life's lessons from the best. I should have taken better notes!
Those same lessons are being handed down to Kelly, Kristen and Summer Lynn.
I hope they're paying attention!
You know what I mean don't you Mom?
Watch over the girls and help guide them in the right direction. With love and luck their relationships will blossom and one day be as special as ours.
May is such an emotional time, I can hardly wait till June.
Love
Your Daughter
