Hi,
I bet you would be interested to know that your loved ones write to you in another dimension via the internet. You thought me crossword puzzles, you had my birthstone pined to your shirt, you listened and you chatted with me about our family, and answered so many questions I had. Your cheek was so soft, I loved giving you a big hug and kiss hello and goodbye. You didn´t put rose colored glasses on me when I asked why my father didn´t show up this weekend, again, because he was out working, and then drinking. You let me know that he had it hard, that it wasn´t easy for adults to make the right decision, but that they still had love in their heart, and maybe they just didn´t know how to use it. You were always there, and even now my memory is faded, I was so young when I knew you, your grandson who moved away at 13. That same year you passed and after a year my cousins finally tracked me down, even though your son had my number and address the whole time (I forgave him). Feels funny and redundant writing to you here when you already know. I´d like to see you again, in a dream sometime soon. Love you, gram.

Something came up tonight and brought you to memory and I thought I should share with you. I look back on my life and all the times that I needed you you were there. As you know things have been come very difficult here on Earth and I know when it comes time when I need you again you're going to be there greeting me with another hug that I need so desperately. But I always know I have someone that loves me and you know that you have someone that always loves you as well. Thank you for all the beautiful memories that you've given me and all the love especially. Here's to you Graham, in this year 2021! Happy New year and all my love!

Mom,
Good and bad comes life and love. You have given me such a wonderful life. To teach, learn and love from such a warm heart makes it easy to take hard knocks. You have given me and mine more then you know. You were right! You are tougher then I thought! but we live and learn. Mom I love you, And I already know you already know that forever yours and always I love you xoxo :)

Hello my friend,
We had quite a storm yesterday. Poor Shawn. He was afriad of the wind as he thought it was going to thunder. No sooner did I tell him that it doesn't thunder when it snows, along came a big clap of thunder... in a snowstorm. I have never heard of this before.The wind was like a hurricane. It blew down our decorations.
Would you believe Janet turned 70. Dawn, Mackenzie and I went to her party today. It was so nice. Mackenzie even had a good time.
Well, my friend it's time to say goodbye. Love,
Marie

Good morning my friend,
Winter is here with about 4 inches of snow.Could be a long winter. We took the kids to Edaville and they had a ball. Would you believe they actually have rides this time of year, BRRR. Dawn and the kids went on the carousel. We all went on the train. It was a good time. The expressions on the kids faces were priceless. I am blessed.
I received a Christmas card from Marie and Wayne with Jon's photo enclosed. Such a handsome young man. I'm sure you're proud.
Bless you dear friend. Love,

Hello Gram & Uncle Nat-Well Pats won..16-3 WOOO. It must have been You & Uncle Nat that had something to do with it. Christmas is sneaking up on us faster & faster.
It hasn't been the same since you & Uncle Nat have left. It was like yesterday was summer. School is almost over & the real world is coming faster then I thought. I thought this year would NEVER come. Now its here & I don't want it to be over. But..it's gonna happen. Auntie & I went & placed a wreath with chrismas lights on yours & Uncle Nats grave yesterday. It lights up quite nice as you can see. We love you & miss you VERY much! Since this won't be going during Christmas Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I'm sure we will be writing before it is gone, but just to make sure we told You & Uncle Nat.
Love you very much,
Marie

Good Morning Polly,
Today is Thanksgiving, a time to count our blessings of which I have many: My family, my friends. Knowing you and having you as my wonderful friend for oh so many years. (Although you're gone you'll always be my friend).I'm also blessed having your family members who keep in touch with me. I am so lucky. : )
Bless you and Nat. Love,

Good Morning My Dear Friend,
The following has been my favorite for many, many years and when I read it I always think of you.
The Tide
The tide recedes and leaves behind bright seashells in the sand.
The sun goes down but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echos on in sweet refrain.
For every joy that passes something beautiful remains..
Thanksgiving will soon be here and I give thanks for our many years of friendship. You are thought of everyday. Love,
Marie
November 18, 2005
A mother's love is precious gift to be grateful for all year. Thanksgiving is a special time to let you know how much you are appreciated... how very much you'er loved. Happy Thanksgiving Mom. love you

Thinking of you and I must say thank you and Nat for guiding your Patriots to a much needed win. As I watch your favorite team I remember our viewing games together and the joy you got when they won. Bless you my friend.Love,
Marie
November 14, 2005
Thank you for being a mother who encourages me to be myself, and to pursue the dreams that are mine instead of someone else's...THANKyou for caring enough to let me grow as I have needed-and for loving me during those times when I was certainly less then lovable.AND thank you and for being the one person who can still make me feel that I can grab hold of any star I reach for. I LOVE YOU MOM. YOUR DOUGHTER

Good Evening My Friend,
Being able to express how important my friendship with you has been warms my heart. The honesty between you and me meant so much. Honesty is the best policy as you always believed to be true. Bless you my friend, I will always honor your wishes. It makes me feel good that some of your family keeps in touch with me. It's like a part of you is here.I hope you're watching over the Patriots this week as they need your help.The games people play make me very sad. LOL,

Good morning my dear friend,
It's been two years today since you joined Nat in heaven. You are greatly missed. My grandson and I stopped by yesterday and I said a prayer and replaced my tribute to you. I showed him your photo and told him you were my best friend. Later on in the day I did a couple of things for him and he said"Nannie you're my best friend". I thought that was cute. Unfortunately, at four years old he knows what a cemetary is as he has lost relatives. I'll be thinking of you all day and will go to lunch as we frequently did on your birthday. God bless you. Love,
Marie

When I awoke today, you were on my mind,
A truer friend I'll never find.
Tomorrow is the day that you got your wings,
Having you in heaven must make God sing.
He took a special person to be a guiding light,
To your family and friends, every day...every night.
God bless you, my dear friend, I will never forget you,
When god made us friends, he blessed me too.
Take care my friend I'm sure that you know,
That our friendship, now in spirit, will never go.
Love,
Donna
November 7, 2005
Time goes by so quickly my friend. It's difficult to believe that almost two years have passed since since you joined Nathaniel in heaven. Thoughts of the both of you are on my mind today. I'm sure you are holding each other tight today and praying for all your family and friends. Polly, I know you prefer that we don't dwell on your and Nathaniel's passing but to always remember the good times. I personally have many good memories and try to tuck away the bad times in the back of my mind as that would be your wish. Your happiest times were when everyone was happy and a family. You always showed your family and friends how much you loved and cared for them too. A BLESSING I LIVE WITH EVERYDAY. As I have written before: "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts". As you did mine,my dear friend. God bless you and Nathaniel. Polly,I still pray that your final wish becomes a reality someday. Special thoughts of our friendship I share with you today. Love,
Jackie & the Family

Hi My Friend,
Just dropping by to let you know I'm thinking of you. I saw Pearl and Brad the other day while I was out shopping. It was good to see them.
I'll be going back to take another photo of your favorite beach soon. I'm sure the view will be quite different from the last one I took as we have had a week of rain and it's very windy.
Your favorite team(the Patriots) are having a tough time this year as they have lost so many players. Some to leaving and many to injuries. I know you and Nathaniel are their angels no matter what happens.
That's all for now . I miss you with all my heart. Not many people have had a friend like you. LOL,
Donna
October 5, 2005
Good morning my dear friend,
Just dropping by to let you know I'm thinking of you today and every day. With the anniversary of your passing and the holidays coming soon, the wonderful memories of our freindship will help me get through these trying times. Thinking of all the good times we spent together is a blessing. They mean everything to me. TRUE FRIENDSHIP is a gift from god. I feel blessed as many people have never had a true friend.
I know you and Nathaniel are angels watching over your family. I hope to see Marie and her family and Pearl and Brad soon. I continue to see those who keep in touch with me. My prayers are with you and Nathaniel too. Love,
HOPKINS

Good Morning My Friend,
My thoughts and prayers to you are many. It's very difficult not having you to talk to especially with all the devastation from Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.My heart goes out to all those who have lost their homes, jobs and family. I am glad Cape Cod is opening up its arms to help take care of about 2500 of those less unfortunatethen we are. They will be housed at Otis Air Force Base. God bless them and everyone here who are helping them bring so order to their lives. I just can't imagine how it would be to handle the same situation if it ever happened here. I thank god that we have been blessed. God bless you. Love,

As my birthday draws near it makes me very sentimental. You have been on my mind alot lately. I often think of all the times we spent together. Through good and bad times we never let anything come between our friendship.You are on my mind always and special days are difficult.It is lonely without you. I'd give anything to hear your laugh again.
I pray before I am no longer on this earth that your very special wish comes true.I cannot count the number of times you expressed your wish to me before you were gone.
Love can conquer all and I believe that God will help make your wish come true.
I have always wished my sister lived nearer to me as family is so important. But you were like a sister to me, my friend.
It's hard to believe that little grandson of mine who you met in 2002 will be four years old in August. My granddaughter is eighteen months old now. They would have loved you too.
I also remember the good old days when you , Eric and I all worked together. Good memories. Bless you my friend. I'm wishing your dream will come true. Love,
Marie Hopkins

Hello my dear friend. I stopped by today for a while. It was a nice day and the sun was shinning. Thank you for the use of your cane. It makes walking easier.
A guest book is for everyone to express their thoughts to someone dear who has passed on. Please be kind in what you say. I pray for Nathaniel too. I know you are together.Bless you both. Love,

Hello my friend,
Still having a hard time with a herniated disc in my back.I will start physical therapy next week. Pearl gave me your cane to use today as long as I need it. I can feel you with me.I know you'll help. I called Leslie the other day and you are still in her thoughts too. We both miss you greatly. Her dad is in a nursing home now and her daughter in PA. has gotten married. That's good news. I remember when you took that trip to PA. with her.Unfortunately, her newest grandchild(who is 1 year old has a problem with vision so I am asking you to be his angel. God bless you my friend. Love, Leslie and Donna

Good Evening My Friend,
Another holiday has gone by without you. Sometimes it's very difficult but then I have the wonderful memories of all the good times we had together over the years as friends. Nauset Beach, your favorite. Movies and lunches and just talking into the wee hours of the morning. We were always there for each other. I thank you for that. God bless you my dear friend. Someday when my grandchildren are older they will know what a wonderful friend you were to me. I hope they'll know that same kind of friendship someday. God bless you. I hope someday your wishes come true. Love,
Jackie

LOST IN THE NIGHT, In the quietness of the night , I felt a chill. Pulling the comforter up cloe to my face, I felt no comfort. My heart beat sounded defferent.There was an echo that rang in my ears, it sounded like loneliness.As I clenched my hands over my ears to stop the sound, I found myself powerless to change what cerainly was.I wrapped my arms tighlt around my chest, but my arms could not mimic the arms I ached for.I looked into the shadows and wondered who will recognize the youg girl hiding in my eyes?Who will understand the story in my sight? Will anyone notice that my laugh is not as deep or as true as it once had been,or that my smile had a hidden grimace to it?Would there be a place for my heart to feel at home again?I wondered where to look for someone who could touch my hand and ,in that simple human contact,make the living grief that nested inside of me go to sleep for just a little while?Whose even could meet that would know the strenghts in my pain rather then the Where is weakness?WHERE is someone who has a tear streaming slowly down her cheek that matches mine, a tear that traveled the same path???

Prayer We should All Offer Each Other. We pray,We wont so much for them All,So that we must be strong and wise and tall. Will we be ready, OH GOD,to fight in the terrible darkness of a lonely night?When our only shield is a faith we know,and time runs out, and the foe lies low,When the arena is noisy and the crwd cheers our name; if it be heretic or saint, is not all the same?Because it is only befor you we stand; SWEET GOD, don't remove THY HAND. WEdo not care for glory nor fame. WE CARRE YOUR NAME. WE do not fear ego or vainglory or wealth.Afraind of time running out in stealth,We won'thave time to teach or guide and help others to win over wrongful pride.Thre is only one thing that we should know to be TRUE-I am glad I am me, Help us DEAR GOD, pull them along, maybe they will hear the peace of the BLUEBIRDS SONG.

Sorry I haven't written - so much is going on. Jamie and Travis went to the prom. You would have been so proud. Beautiful, stunning, handome, and so grown up - I cried. They're all grown up and meeting life head on - whatever it brings. Memorial weekend is here. Where does the time go? Sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses instead of looking at them in a blur or not appreciating their specialness. Debbie, Mary and Joannie are doing wonderful. I hope you know you have some great daughters - they mean the world to me and I appreciate them very much. I hope you enjoy this Memorial Day and I will be thinking of you since this was the weekend we would celebrate bringing in the summer months. Remember? Wishing you happiness always,
Donna
May 25, 2005
Your are in my thoughts today my dear friend. You're birthday will soon be here and I will do something special to celebrate. Maybe a ride to one of your favorite places and lunch at one of your favorite restaurants.
One thing I will always remember regarding our friendship was HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. I wish everyone believed in it.
Bless you and Nat too. Love,
Donna

Hello My Friend,
Through the many years we were friends I feel honored that we were ALWAYS there for each other.Through GOOD times and BAD times we ALWAYS had a WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP. I was blessed by god who gave me the opportunity to be by your side for so many hours, day and night until you passed away.I will never forget our conversations while you were able to communicate with me. Thank you for a FRIENDSHIP that FEW people are ever lucky enough to have in their lifetime. Love,
your grandoughter ;)

I've been thinking about you - Happy Belated Mother's Day. I hope you had a pleasant day. So much has gone on since you've gone. We felt you near last month - Deb, Ian and I. Tears from heaven is what we felt - just like your favorite Clapton song. We knew you were close and it made us feel calm. Thank you for that.
The Red Sox are doing really well - keep it going. Two World Series in two years is acceptable. We waited how long the last time?
Take care and give Nat a hug for me.

Good Morning Polly,
It's such a nice day today that I thought it would be a good time to drop by and say hello. Your house has been sold and Marie and Pearl worked so hard to get it ready.They keep in touch with me and Eric does too.I'm so glad Marie's knee surgery went well.I'm sure you're proud that she and Cheryl are doing a cancer walk in your memory.I feel bad that my knee problem prevents me from doing the same.
My mom is in the hospital again due to another fall and I go to Brockton frequently. She's in a rehab center and I hope she'll be able to still live independently. It reminds me of all the times I spent with you when you were in the hospital and nursing home.
My grandkids are 3 1/2 and 15 months now. Boy! Time sure does go by fast. They sure would love you.
Bless you dear friend. I think of you everyday. Love,
Marie Hopkins

Good afternoon dear friend,
The sun is shinning and it's so nice today. The kind of day we'd take a ride and enjoy the views of Cape Cod and stop at the beach in Eastham. Sometimes we'd go to lunch. Boy! Do I miss those days with you.When my grand children are old enough to understand I will tell them all about you. I hope they grow up and find a friend as nice as you. Friends are special and you were the best or I must say you are the best as you're always here in my heart.
