This year without you has been difficult. You are missed so much by everyone that knew you. You had (have) such an impact on your family that it shows in everything that we do. I keep you in my heart and in my thoughts always, no matter what I do. You guide me to make me a better person. You are a person that I will always look up to and strive to be. You are not only the best mother in the world but you are my hero. I love you. Your baby, Debbie

I don't think the title "Grandmother" really accurately describes who Gram was.

If I told people who didn't know her that I was going to hang out with my Grandma, they might get the idea that I was spending the day inside with an old lady, maybe in a rocking chair, knitting or baking cookies.

But Gram was a total teenager. She was at football games, shows, mowing her lawn, hanging out with friends or family, playing with dogs; and she not only put up with Earl and me and the rest of her crazy grandkids, but she kept up with us.

She was not only a Grandmother to us, but also to her Grandchildren's friends, and to any kid she met.

She was one of my best friends, a mother figure, and a role model.

So "Grandmother" doesn't really cover it.

I see so much of her in me it's ridiculous. From her love of traveling and animals, her open-mindedness, the way she was always active and social, to her love of being outside, her strong independence and intelligence; and especially her compassion and unconditional love. These are just some of the "Gram" traits that I was lucky enough to have passed on to me.

My Mom and Gram will always be the biggest female influences in my life.

A few weekends ago, my parents were gone for the weekend. Gram came over to let our dog out, thinking I was still at work. I came outside to see her playing with Dakota. We talked for a while before she said, "You know, your parents are gone for the weekend...your mother said to keep an eye oon you--you might have a party."

I laughed; so did she.

She looked at me, with her smirk and said, "You know, I'm fine with you having a party...in fact, if you do have one, invite me--I'll be bored."

I would have invited her too.

Her energy and love was unreal.

I could talk for days about her and not even cover half of it.

She raised one hard-working, fun, and good-looking family...If I say so myself.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. I love you so much, Gram.

Wow, it's been more than a year now. I still don't know what to say. I do know that mom had a way of making me feel like I had it all when we had very little growing up. I now have kids and grandkids. Mom was right. I do have it all!

My Mother Kathy:
I loved my mother. We did not always agree on everything, but what family does agree on everything. I had a great childhood. We did not have much when we grew up but we did what we could, with what we had. It was simple back then. We always had a great garden which made for great veggies all year long. Mom canned or froze our vegetables, which let us have great vegetables all year long. The following year we would start the process all over again. Mom and Dad would take us camping I loved camping so much that Marcel and I took our family camping every year also. It was great fun and lots of memories. We are honoring you mom we are taking good care of Dad just like you did. It is a full time job but we are managing. Dad still asks all the time about where you are and when you are coming home. It makes me cry. I know he misses you tremendously. Love and miss you mom.
Love Norma

A letter to my Grandmother Kathy:

Dear Gram,

I miss you. It's been a year since you passed and the pain is as deep as the day you left us. So many things have happened since you've been gone. So many things I never got to tell you. The last time I talked to you was the Saturday before you passed. I had called the house and Grandpa answered the phone. He said you weren't there but that he'd have you call me back. He had thought you went into town. You called me about 5 minutes later letting me know that you were actually outside in the garden and that Grandpa didn't know what he was talking about. Hahahahaha.......I don't remember why I called and I don't remember the rest of our conversation but I remember your voice and your humor. I miss the way you would answer the phone "Hi Erin, How are you?" in a super thick Vermont accent. I miss how I could call you and ask you anything and you would know the answer. How do I make this? When should I plant this? Who needed Google when I had you!

2010 was an awful year for me. Not only did I lose you, but I lost my baby Jacob. A few months before you passed you asked me when I was going to try again. I told you I wasn't ready, that I was too scared and it still hurt too badly. You said you understood, but that you wanted more great grand babies so to get on it! :)
I found out I was pregnant about 5 days after you passed. I wish I could have told you face to face. You would have been so happy. I had a dream a few weeks later that I saw you in Middlebury walking down the street by Ben Franklin's holding hands with two children....one on either side. I thought in the dream that it was Earl III and I. In my dream I was frustrated, because I was trying to take a picture of you to show everyone, but my phone wouldn't work. When I woke up, I felt happy and sad. Happy that I saw you again. Sad that it wasn't real and couldn't last. I found out about 2 weeks later that I was expecting twins. My mind went right away to the dream and the two children you were with. Now I look back at my dream and know that it was you taking care of my babies until I could have them here on earth.

I've dreamt of you a few times now. My favorite dream was after I had the girls. In my dream, Carlos and I were cleaning your house. Carlos was using the Vacuum and I kept telling him to stop because you were going to be mad if we woke up Grandpa from his nap. Then I asked where you were anyway. I went onto the front porch and there was a family party going on just as there always was. Everyone was there and then the crowd parted and there you were. Standing there in your blue slacks, white sneakers and white shirt. I ran up to you and hugged you and held you for a long time. When I let go, I looked into your eyes and said "Gram, I miss you." and you said "I miss you too." and then I said "I love you." and you said "I love you too". Finally I said "I had twins! They are girls!" and you smiled your devilish grin and said "I know." Then I woke up, again happy to have seen you and sad that it was over. It was so real. I could see every crease in your face; smell the smokey sweet smell of you.

When people ask me if twins run in my family I tell them, yes....my grandfather's sisters are twins, but they are identical and mine are not. So that doesn't count. Then I tell them that I believe with all my heart that went you passed and went to heaven, you marched right up to God and said "Listen mister. You took a baby away from my Granddaughter. Now you’re going to give her two!" I would never put it past you.

I know that we will meet again someday. That you will be waiting to take me to heaven when the time comes for me. I know that you are holding my Jacob in your arms until I can hold him again. And I know that you are watching over us all and I thank you for it all. Thank you for being an amazing woman. Someone that I can strive to be like. Thank you for my wonderful memories. Thank you for loving your family so much. Thank you for passing that love onto everyone you met. Thank you for all the life lessons that I will never forget. Thank you for being my grandmother, my rock, my friend, my mentor, my inspiration.

I miss you. I love you.

My eulogy to our mother.

Mom was born and raised in East Middlebury on August 10, 1934, although according to Mom, that was up for debate. Her birth certificate states her birth as August 8th but as a child it was always celebrated on the 10th, so she believed it was the 10th. She never really thought all that much about it and never thought to change the pattern.

Mom and Dad married in 1952 in Brandon at the Methodist Church with her sister, Barb, brother-in-law, Bob Piper, her mom, Beatrice and father, Shirley Ovitt attending. They bought their home on Pidgeon Road in 1955 and raised five children there, Earl, Jr., Laura, Norma, Jim and me. It was a small home for seven people and I believe that that was where our tight family bond and our values were formed. The house was full of noise, busy-ness and activity but it had much love for the kids and later grandkids and great grandkids. There are 12 grandchildren, Brian, Amanda, Erin, Earl III, JR, Heath, Marcel, Lance, Jennifer, Jamie, Heather and Patience. 16 great grandchildren, Lucas, Kailey, Kara, Little Larry, Madison, Heath, Grace, Jackson, Bode, Owen, Autumn, Haidyn, Mason, Jayla, Aaliyah and JJ.

Her family sustained her - it gave her immense pride when she talked about her kids, grandkids and great grandkids.

She loved family gatherings, birthdays, weddings, holidays. Always the first to say "what can I bring". She gave generously to the people around her with her time, friendship and love.

However, there were also kids that adopted mom as their own mom or grandmother because of her incredible ability to touch people's hearts, make them feel loved, protected and listened to. It was never out of the ordinary to see different faces at the kitchen table talking to mom, as a matter of fact, it was unusual not to see one there.

Mom worked for numerous people in her life in a job she really enjoyed. Two particular families she enjoyed working for were Patti and Pete Brakeley and Vicki and Georgie Sappio. She was more like a good family friend than anything else. They would often say "come on Kathy, let's have a soda or a cup of tea". They'd sit, and then she would light up a cigarette.

One story I found out about 10 years ago which was a jesture that summed up our mother to a "t". Mom and I were at a memorial service for Vicki Sappio. We were sitting with Vicki's daughter, Debbie Suplee and they were talking about back in the day. Debbie turned to mom and said "Kathy, do you remember the Thanksgiving my mom burnt the turkey", and mom said "yeah". Debbie went on to say that our mother had brought over our Thanksgiving turkey to replace the burnt one. But knowing mom, she probably was making two and had 3 in the freezer just waiting for some family function or emergency.

But that's the type of woman our mother was - selfless, compassionate, caring, thinking of others before herself - always. Never complaining, never stopping long enough to "think about" complaining. And she was so worried about putting the burden on us kids. She'd say "you kids are so busy - I'll do what I can".

One day a couple of months ago, I was out for a bike ride and thought I would stop by to see Mom and Dad. As I was getting closer to their house, I saw Mom outside with a shovel and mounds of dirt on the lawn. I could not believe my eyes - she was digging up the kitchen-sink drainline because it was moving too slowly. She had dug 1 foot down, 1 foot across and 10 feet of the 20 foot line. Here she is, 75 years old. I asked her why she didn't call one of us. She said,"I can do it, I just go slow".

She never, ever wanted to depend on her kids, but truth be told, we depended on her. Her stability, her strength, her fiery independence, her humor, her common sense. We would all call with a question or problem; JR and Marcel about some gardening question, Amanda about the family's next get-together or Patience asking Gram if she would let the dog out during a time when were away.

Her love of animals equalled her love of family. Mom would donate food, money and supplies to animals in need. One time a young hawk was walking down our road but it couldn't fly. So mom had us catch it and for the next two weeks with lots of her love and plenty of raw hamburger, the bird healed. We took him outside and let him fly away. That hawk would often come back and circle the house and Mom would be so happy to see that bird.

Mom epitomized community, charity, love, selflessness, she lived it, she touched many, many lives.

Mom, we love you and miss you terribly. We will keep your lessons and values close, and your love closer in our hearts forever. You must be in heaven looking down on us and smiling.

Rest peacefully now Mom; you worked hard, you played hard, and you did an incredible job with us kids.

We are truly blessed having you as our Mom. We love you forever.

Gram and Marcel Paul happy with the snowman they just made

There are a million things that I could say here. None of them would touch how I feel about my Gram. I spoke at her service, but can't recall what I said. But I do know how I felt--still feel. A piece of my heart is missing.

Gram had the heart of gold, and the most amazing laugh. Her giving nature was contagious. She always gave what she had. Feeding all my friends, allowing me to "shop" in her cupboards, and talk about a GREAT cook!

There are several things that will always remind me of her. Those things are Birds, Gardening, and Cooking. She was always feeding the birds, looking them up in her book, and getting excited about new visitors, or rare birds that stopped by.

She was the most excellent gardener I've ever know. As far back as my memory can go, there she was. Kneeling in the garden, hands covered in dirt. Picking or planting it didn't matter. She was happiest there.

I loved to go to her house and have dinner. She made the BEST spaghetti sauce I have ever had. She and I would always make a point of calling my sister to tease her about missing out on spaghetti night. She would start it first thing in the morning and let it stew all day. And by the time it got to supper time, it was amazing.

Prior to her passing, I never took any interest in birding, gardening, or cooking much beyond the few dishes I knew best. Her passing has left such a void in my life. Such a hole needed filling and for several months I couldn't figure out how.

Finally I realized that the best way to bring her back into my life was to start to enjoy the things in life that she enjoyed best. In the last year I have started to feed the birds. I have a bird book that I like to check to see who my visitors are. I just wish I could call her to tell her which birds I had.

I have always had a hard time keeping any plants alive. House plants didn't stand a chance! Since her passing, I have planted my first garden. Although it is very small compared to the one she had (and is still growing wonderfully with the help of my Aunts), I am so proud. Every day that I go out to check on them I talk to her. Tell her I miss her, and that I wish I could bring her some fresh veggies that I grew with love. This week when I went to check on them I noticed there were actual vegetables growing! I have tomatoes, peppers, hot peppers and basil! I cried my eyes out. The only thing I could think of was Gram. I even thanked her for helping me grow them. I hope to bring some down to my Gramps to show him what she taught me...what she is STILL teaching me.

I have also expanded my cooking horizons greatly...but still can't get the spaghetti sauce to taste as good.

I haven't been down much to visit. And it's not for lack of wanting to see her, or be close. But it hurts too much. I know in my heart she is not there, because she is everywhere I look. In my kitchen when I cook, in the birds that I feed and in the garden that I grow.

I miss you Gram. You will forever be in my heart. xoxoxo

I have so many memories that it would be hard to narrow them down to the fondest single memory. I remember her bringing me to Michigan and Massachusetts. She was quite the speed demon in her old Thunderbird. I remember thinking that I wanted to drive like grandma when I was young...fast and in a hurry. She really left quite an impact on me and so many others. To say that she will be missed dearly would be an understatement!

I met Kathy four years ago when I married her son Jim. When I think of her I will remember flowers, gardens, canning everything under the sun, candles, cigarettes, Christmas cookies, a warm, down-to-earth woman. I will always be thankful for her son Jim, my wonderful husband. She raised him to be strong, independent, and to love his family. He has always given her credit for any success he has had in his life, I have known since day one that he is a momma's boy!! You will always be in our memories, we will miss you very much.

I have only had the privildge of knowing Kathy for the past four years, since I married her son Jim. When I think of Kathy I will remember, flowers, gardens, canning everything under the sun, candles, Christmas cookies, a warm and down-to-to earth woman. But mostly I would like to thank her for her son Jim, who since the day I met him has given credit to any success he has had in life to his momma! From the first day I met him I knew he was a momma's boy! She raised him to be strong, independent and to love his family. For that i will always be eternally grateful. We will miss you so very much.

I didn't know Kathy, but have been a friend of Bonnie since high school. In reading of her relationship with Kathy, I see a woman of great love, loyalty, and spirit. My prayers are with you all as you grieve and learn to move forward without her physical presence. She is the kind of person you don't pray for, but to. God bless you all

Hello Mom,
Today is a difficult day for me, emotionally. I'm not really sure why tho. I keep thinking about you and how much I miss seeing you when I am at your house. Maybe it's the warm-hearted greeting you always gave me, with the hugs and kisses too. I was thinking, while I was washing up the dishes how you would always (teasingly) yell, "get your hands out of the dish pan, Bonnie!" Well Mom, they needed getting done! I'm trying my best to do all the things you would want me to do. Today is just one of those days, I guess. Tears and rememberences. I can't seem to stop them. Please watch over us all, come visit when you can. I am missing you so much..
Your loving "daughter",
Bonnie

Grandam,I was going through my phone the other day and found your phone number, it's really hard to realize your gone. It was not the same being at your house with you not there, but me and noni both know you were there in spirit. :)we now take comfort in knowing that now we have a special guardian angel to watch over us. I love you!

I've known Kathy for 35 years. She was my mother-in-law for 22 years. Later, she would tell me, "you are still my daughter and I love you very much. You will always be my daughter." Her love and support through the years has been unbelievable. She was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. She was also my friend. I could come over anytime I wanted. I could call her with any question or just to talk. Kathy was such a huge influence in her grandchildren's lives. They will remember the lessons she has taught them, I am sure. I miss her terribly and I know she knows how much I love her, not just for who she was but that she still made me "part of the family". Thank you Mom, for everything.

Over the past few years I was accepted into an amazing family. This new family will never be the same without its shining star in it. I was an adopted grandchild and she was a second grandmother to me. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met, and I will remember her every time I see a red sweater, or hear "Sweetheart". She will always be missed and loved in my heart.

This memory of Kathy will remain with me forever!

It was a week before my wedding day when I ran into her. With a hug and a kiss, she asked if I was ready for our day. I told her I was except that I hadn't found the right necklace yet. We chatted and with her infectious smile, wished me all the best!
The next day, an unfamiliar car pulled in and out came Kathy - what a surprise! In her hands she had two sets of pearl necklaces to lend me! They were beautiful and I was touched to tears. I chose the double strand, wore them with pride and will never forget her special kindness - it was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
Kathy's caring and thoughtfulness cannot be out done!
I am a very, very lucky person to have had the honor to know her!
I Love You, Kathy

My sympathies and thoughts lie with you at this difficult time. I understand this feeling very well. Focus on the good and remember the memories that make you who you are. They are what will keep you going. The good keep you moving. I may not have known her, but I can see that she meant so much. This helps me realize how much those good memories may help.

My High School Graduation with Gram.

Patience Hurlburt-Lawton

August 20, 2010

If one's life is measured by the amount they loved and were loved by, Gram undoubtedly lived the fullest life of anyone I knew. This is because she was more than a mother; Definitely more than a grandmother to me.
She is my childhood. She is an intoxicating laugh. She is homemade mac and cheese. She is Christmas morning, presents for the whole family covering her entire living room floor. She is every garden, every bird, every bright red sweater, and "I love you, sweetheart."
To be honest, I've never imagined what my life would be like without Gram. That would mean life without my second mother. Life without one of my closest friends.
And I know it hasn't hit me yet. That one of the closest people in my life won't be at my graduation or wedding. But I do know that she gave me the best childhood I could ask for. With priceless lessons, unconditional love, and many, many laughs.
I love you forever.

I didn't have the priviledge of knowing Kathy; I really only met her a couple of times in my life. But I do know her daughter, Deb. If Deb's quick wit, infectious laughter and beautiful smile come from Kathy; I would have laughed with her too! If Deb's compassion, honesty, work ethic and extreme sense of pride are from her Mom; I would have appreciated her too. If Deb's parenting logic, supportive friendships and devotion to relationships are as a result of Kathy's love for Deb; then I would have called Kathy "friend" like I do Deb. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart’s still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

I love and Miss you Mom. You were a strong woman, I will think about you and miss you all the time . Love Norma

We are so sorry. Kathy was like a second Mom to me. We just loved her so. The Hurlburt's are like our family. Embrace your wonderful memories. Earl, Deb, Laura, Earl, Norma, Jim - you are all in our thoughts and prayers. And to Kathy, we would like to say "job well done" - you raised a beautiful family. Watch over us Kathy. I always think of you when my air conditioner is on in my car, you always used to say to me "only in Vermont do we ride around with our windows down and the air conditioner on" - you made me laugh every time you said that.

Mom, how I miss you! Your humor, your laughter, your wisdom, generosity and strength will be missed by all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for always telling me I was your "daughter". You've always made me feel so welcome. I'm helping with Dad, but you knew I would! I love and miss you very much.

Mom. I love you more than I can ever express. I know that you know that. And I will miss you every single moment of the day. You are my inspiration, I admire your strength and I am trying so hard to find that strength right now. But I just feel lost and empty. I love you always.
