Mom oh how much you are missed it has been a month now and I got a job I will do my best to make you proud. Since you been gone my life is not the same and never will be again.Sunday is mothers day and I cant belive we wont get to be together I miss you so much every day.I came home from my job interview yesterday and wanted so bad to tell you about it.This is not the first time I have that feeeling all the time you were not only my mom but you were my best friend.
To many you were aunt moe, and would attend all the birthday parties and any event where their were kids you loved them all and found so much joy and kids all took right to you and loved you I know they all miss you. the house is just not the same it is too quiet here and so soup on the stove.Their are plenty of snacks but no moe to give a kiss to before you get them.
Now I'm just so lost with out you. You were the only parent I had. But You took it in stride and made the best of it all. And gave me and Scott the best parent we could ever wish for. You were such a strong woman and protected us from any thing you could and helped us anyway you could.
You were the BEST grandma and billy misses you horrible. You would always do what ever he wanted and played checkers,watched wresteling on friday nights and made sure he had the newest toy. He was crying friday night after smackdown and said it is hard to watch it with out you! he misses you so much mom,Pretty much we are all lost with out you! I dread the day we have to leave the house that will kill Billy. To not only lose you but the house he has known for 3 years as home and all the memorys of you that are here.
I Love You Mom,Happy Mothers Day, to the best mom ever!!We miss you but you will be forever in our hearts!

My dear friend Maria...where do I begin? We met at work..about 13 years ago. It was a fast friendship and one I have cherished for all those years. We have shared the ups and downs of raising a family, the thrills of becoming grandparents, the loss of loved ones and of course..many, many laughs and good times. You were always there to listen when I needed a sounding board...as I tried to be there for you. You would often call me at work once your retired..."are you STILL working in that dump??" with a boisterous laugh! Then.."hey buddy, stop over on your way home...I got something for my honey!" Of course...I was NOT your honey...that would be my husband! haha....and of course... I knew that meant you had a bowl of tripe for him. You LOVED giving me that bowl...you knew how just knowing what that was made me want to gag!! haha...you'd laugh and laugh as you handed it to me!! Every once in a while...I'd stop in with a few flowers..I knew they made you smile, I hope they brightened your day.
My first granddaughter knew you from birth....as soon as she could talk...you became "My Maria" to her. We'd pass your street or your house on the way to mine and she'd giggle...."......go see "My Maria"." Oh how she loved you too. And later, my grandson...he loved to visit you. Amazing, how he and Billy have become friends. A friendship...I hope we can keep up for them. My grandchildren cried when I told them.....they wanted you to know...they love you!
I know how your grandchildren were the lights of your life. They gave you reason for being! You loved your son and daughter so much...you always said how you wanted life for them to be better than what you had. You knew too, how much they all loved you!
I am so happy for you that you are now reunited with Ernie...and the rest of your family who paved the way before you. Your job here is done....but we ALL know you will be looking over us until WE meet again. I am glad you are at peace, I am thankful you are no longer suffer from those illnesses that set you back. You fought a good fight...and always with a smile.
I will miss you my dear friend....more than you will ever know. You will always be in a special place in my heart. I will always remember your smile....your "hey...come on in for coffee"....your kind heart and your wonderful soul.
You will always be "MY MARIA"!
With love and big giant bear hugs!!

Maria was the most caring and loving friend anyone could ever ask for. Hearing her happy voice when I picked up the phone, getting a big bear hug when I'd visit her, receiving cards and letters, sitting and chatting for hours, shopping at the Christmas Tree Store, sitting on the front porch---these are things that I'll miss, but will remember with a smile. :) All our memories from the first time I met her at Mandy & Stacey's kindergaten bus stop, right on through all of our fun times together. I have a very special place in my heart for you, Scott & Mandy. You were like my own kids for many years. We all had so many laughs together. Maria had a fantastic sense of humor right up 'til the end. (take care of my cat, Maria!) The last words Maria said to me the day before she passed were "Love Ya." Love you too, my friend.

Maria was my mother's best friend. She was one of my favorite people, also. It was always worth travelling those extra miles to visit her and her family. She had a welcoming personality, wonderful sense of humor, and was always willing to share with others. In addition to being reunited with her family in Heaven, she will also be welcomed by our cat. :) God love you, Maria. I know we did. My thoughts are with all of you whose lives she touched...

Our Mother was a very special woman, she had the ability to see qualities in people that others did not. You could always count on her to cheer you up when you were down. Or tell you when you were wrong.
She was many things to many people.
She was a wonderful daughter to her mother.
A loving Sister that enjoyed visiting with her brothers and sisters.and all of their families
She was a kind and caring mother that would always take the time to listen to our problems and do what she could to fix them, she always knew the best common sense advise to give.
She was a grandmother to my two daughters ( Samantha, and Krista), and Mandy's son (Billy),
and enjoyed them as much as they did her.
Over the last few years Mandy & Billy lived with her. Billy gave her a reason to get out of bed in the morning and brought much joy to Mom like nothing else could.It made her young again.
I am happy that our kids had a chance to know and love her.
To kids she was Aunt Moe, a best friend that had goodies and was always ready to play.
To many more she was a friend that was always there when you needed someone to listen, to offer advise, laugh or cry with you.
Mandy and I and our families Miss her dearly, she will never be forgotten.

Our family shares with your family the sadness of the loss of Maria. She was a wonderful woman who had a practical way of looking at life. She made the best soups! May the Lord comfort you and bring you peace.

My memories of Maria are of a sweet, thoughtful and loving niece. Although her earthly life is over, we know that she lives on in her spiritual life with Our Lord Jesus Christ and we will all meet again.
