Sad today, sad tomorrow, and sad forever. Missing my Lovely Sister Rosemarie. My God Rose how long does the hurt and pain in my heart go on for. Nine months since your passing and I still feel the same. I didn't realize that two sisters could be bonded as close as you and I were. I quess this sense of sadness will always stay with me until we meet in the after life. I love you Sis. Bye for now, your sad and lonely sister.

Missing you, love you my dear sister. Summer is coming to an end soon. Just like all the seasons they will come and go quickly and you won't be here to enjoy them with us. I really missed you this summer. Christmas was our favorite time of the year, it is going to be sad again without you. Very lonely and sad journey without you. All I have left are memories and an empty space in my heart. Tears are becoming fewer but not lost. Memories are distance but not forgotten. Your picture will stay the same it will never change, you will always be 55 years old. But one thing will never change and that is you will always be my oldest sister. Love you Rose, miss you. Bye for now. Love ya sis.

Rose I wish you had not died. I miss you so much. I will never get over your death. I try to be strong but I become weak. I just wish you were here with me. Rose I'm missing you so much. Not much more to say but I miss my big sister. Love you lots, Sisters forever and ever. Bye for now Sis.

Rose I phoned your husband today to wish him a Happy 50th Birthday. I know how much you made of him on his birthdays. He probably misses that. Now he sits alone in his new apartment without you, very sad indeed. Mom bought him a plate of japanese food for his birthday, she said you would want her to do something for him. Missing you, Love you my sweet sister Rose. May you be with God and Jesus.

Rose you are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
Oh! Rose how much I miss you
Please won't you be my sunshiny Days.
Love you sis. Miss you today, tommorrow
and always. Forever sad without my sweet sister Rosemarie.

Dear Rosemarie bless your lovely heart. You even worry about me in the afterlife. Thats why I love you so much because you truly love me and care about me. Thank you for visiting me in my dream. It was so nice to hear your voice. I'm missing you so much that my heart aches with sadness and sorrow that you are not here to take this journey with me. Keep coming to me in my dreams that will fill the void some what. Always love to see and hear from you no matter how you decide to appear. Never give up on me Rose because I need the love you gave me in life. You were a kind, loving, sweetheart of a sister and I miss that everyday since your passing. A million hugs and kisses. Sisters forever and ever....

My sweet sweet rosie i miss you so much .love you always big sis .

Miss you Love you.

Roses are red my love violets are blue and I am missing you. Didn't get a yellow rose bush yet, but I planted yellow lilies and yellow marigolds they are bright and beautiful. I hope they come up every year. Hope to buy a yellow rose bush next season if I can't get one this year. Missing your smiles and hugs, luv ya always my sweet Sister Rosemarie.

Dear Sister I'm missing your love, your laughter, and our long talks. God I'm missing my oldest and dearest sister. We would talk to each other for hours about everything and you would always be there for me and I was always there for you. I really truly miss you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Your a sister that can not be replaced no one can fill your shoes. You are one of a kind. I'm trying to get a yellow rose bush to plant in the front yard in remembrance of you. Why yellow roses? Because Yellow will brighten my day with sunshine even on a gloomy day the same way you always did when I felt sad. Rose today is a sad day for me because I'm missing you so much. Bye for now Love You Sisters Forever and Ever...................

Dear sister Rose my heart feels sad today, so many things happening. I miss you so much it hurts. I put some pictures on the wall of us at your last BBQ you had at Christines house. It's a memory that can never be repeated. It's the first and only picture of us girls all together with Mom. Once in a life time photo that cannot be repeated without you. Very sad indeed. When I look up at the photos sometime I laugh at the fun we had sometimes I cry because your not here. Very sad indeed. Missing you my sweet loving sister. Sisters are forever............

Dear Sister I'm missing you on these special days two birthdays. Also Dad had a five by-pass open heart surgery and a repaired valve. He is doing fine but the sad part is they found cancer in his lung and he needs another operation. I'm very worried that this will be to much for Dad to handle. I phoned him today at the hospital I memtioned your name and he started to cry. Dad is missing you. I wish you were here to comfort him in his time of need. Rose life goes on but it goes on sadly without you in it. I love you my dear sister and miss you every single day. Sisters forever and ever. Your loving sister Sherrylee

WE LOVE YOU ROSIE....

My precious Rosie I'm missing you so much. I wish you were here to take this journey with me. To laugh with me to cry with me, to spend happy and sad moments together, to be there for each other like the good old days. Life without you in it is a very sad and lonely one. You left a very big void that cannot be filled. When I go shopping it's not the same anymore. My heart feels sad my eyes fill with tears when I see to sisters having a shopping day and laughing and having fun like we use to I miss those days Rose. You don't realize how much I'm hurting inside and missing you. Missing my Dear Sweet Sister Rosemarie. Love You Always Sisters Forever And Ever.

One thing i can truely say my sister Rosie love all her sisters and her bro mom and dad, her husband Francie. She love us all and want us to love and care for each other because we are blood and family to the end.Rosie was a good friend to others. i beleive my sis would want us to live on and share the love rose had to give .Take care of thous in need and not forget we are of one.

"A sister is dear to you always, for she is someone who is always a part of all the favorite memories that you keep very close to your heart."

"I've loved you Sister,from the start The ties that bind are in the heart!"

Happy Easter Rosie. I miss you so, It was my first Easter after 24 years of marriage as a single woman and without you. I miss you so much. My heart aches all the time. I try to be strong, but some days its so hard. Words alone cant say how much you are missed...i love you forever and always

Good Friday, Easter Sunday, missing you Sis. Love You Always.

"The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend."

Rosie today is Moms 77th birthday. We are all missing you on this special day.

Love You Sis Miss You

They say memories are golden, Well, maybe that is true; I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

Rosie it's been over 4 months since your passing, I still get this overwhelming since of sadness when I realize you are gone. My heart aches I feel to throw up I feel a strong urge to scream and cry. What am I to do it suppose to get easier to deal with. I guess that you and I were so close in life that I will never get over your death. I know I post many entries but I feel this is the only way to keep you close. That should be a good thing right. I just want you to know I really truly miss my big sister so much thats why it's so hard not to think of you every single day. I'm missing your phone calls, your hugs, our shopping trips together I'm just plain missing you. Please Rose give me strength to be strong and to be happy again. I know some day I will be able to move pass your death and that it will become easier to deal with, but for now, missing you Rosie love you lots sad world without you in it. Sisters Forever and Ever.......

Rosie loved to collect elephant figurines with the noses pointing upward, she said this ment good luck. She would never except one with it's nose down which ment bad luck. Rosie I found you a beautiful pink elephant. Love you Sis.

Rose loved to collect miniture teddy bears and brass figurines. So I found some multi coloured teddies for her.

Rose and Lisa, You are my special Angels through iternity. Love and miss you my Sister and Daughter. Lisa you now have your older auntie with you she is your Angel Mom.

These flowers are from Dara,Tara,Sara and Shadow. All missing there Auntie Rosie.

Rosie I wish you were here so I can do more for you then just posting poems and pictures. Missing you.

"You say you've seen an angel?" My friend asked me today. Without a hesitation,"Yes, I have seen one,"I say. He said, "what does she look like? Is there a halo and some wings?" "No, I replied quickly, "She doesn't have those things." "She does have, the warmest smile, And is loving like no other. I ought to know ,"I said, "For the Angel is my sister."

Although you may not see them, you are always in their sight. They bring the gift of love and guidance, It is called the "Angel Light". You know they always hear you, to them your voice is dear. With the comfort that they bring to you, you need not ever fear. So here's a place for Rosemarie to come, to do with angels what must be done. To make our world whole and bright, and share with all, the "Angel Light">

love you sis, miss you lots

missing you big sis.one day we will be togather again.

"We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it."

"God gave us memories so that we might have Roses in December."

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane. I would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

LOVE YOU SIS....

Rosemarie you are our angel. We are missing our oldest sister. It is very sad and lonely world without you in it.

I miss you so much Rosie...In the quiet of the night i whisper your name through my tears. My heart has constant sadness. You have a special place in my heart always will always have. love tootie

Dear sister Rose,You were taken from us. I will never get to see your face,I will never get to see you smile,I will never get to hug you,I will never get to hear your voice,We will never get to grow old together. I don't understand why you had to die. Some would say It was your time, Some would say it ended your suffering. I feel that you were taken from us to soon. Your body is gone but your presence is still here with me. Rose my sweet loving sister Rose,I know I have said this many times, I love you, I miss you and I will always keep you in a special place in my heart. You will always be in my thoughts. Love you Sisters Forever...........

God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest,With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place. Gods garden must be beautiful,he always takes the best. He knew you were suffering,he knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb. He closed your weary eyelids,and whispered "Peace be Thine." It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone,For part of us went with you the day God called you home. Well My Dear Sisters this will be the last poem I will be sending. I hope that they will help you to get through your grieving. We have lost a beautiful and Loving Sister. Rosie is greatly missed by all. I never thought in my life that she would be taken from us this soon. Stay Strong SISTERS FOREVER....

You never said I'm leaving. You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it,And God only knew why. A million times I needed you,A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you,You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly,In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you,But you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you,The day God took you home.

Feel no guilt in laughter,she knows how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share. You cannot grieve forever,she would not want you to. She'd hope that you can carry on,the way you always do. So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared. The days you spent together all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you. A word someone may say will suddenly recapture a time,an hour,a day,That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here. And fills you with feelings that she is always near. For if you keep these moments you will never be apart. And Rosie will live forever locked safe within your heart.

To My Sisters I'm sending these poems for you to read and to help you with your grieving. Please take time to read them as they are helping me to deal with Rosie's death. I know we all grieve different and some last longer the others. I know deep in my heart Rose would want us to move forward in life,and not to be sad. I'm doing this for Rosie because I Know she would want me to help you move on. So please be strong I love you both and Rose loves us too. Sisters Forever...Love is strong.....

I miss you Rosie

We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.

I little knew that morning. God was going to call your name, In life I loved you dearly, in death I do the same. It broke my heart to loose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left me beautiful memories your love still my guide and though we cannot see you, you're always at my side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

oh rosie some days are so easy and some just hit me in the face like a pie. today i had a melt down, off and on in the day as well. i let my walls down a few times and the pain of you gone rushed back in my heart, i wish you were here, i miss you. but you know in my job i feel you close and ask you my angle sister to give them a hand to help them with their passing and this brings me great pleasure knowing your close by.however at this time of our life i`m the earth angel and you are the heavenly one and sherry is moms, and one day us three angles will be togather again as one.because we are just not complete with out each other.i love you both dearly.rip sister rosie miss you so.

Dear Sister today marks 3 months from your passing. I still can't believe your gone. I still cry for you my heart still aches. I miss your phone calls your jokes your laughter and most of all I miss you. I still feel your presence around me I want you to know I will be ok. I want you Dear Sister it's ok for you to pass over and to rest in peace. Be with God and the Angels. I will always hold you in my heart and my thoughts. Someday we will meet again in the after life but not to soon because I have many things left on earth to do. All jokes aside I want you to be at rest and at peace. We will all be fine. LOVE YOU ALWAYS SISTERS FOREVER. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.

My sister Rose what can I say I'm missing you so so much. Like Christine would say,are you having one of those moments. I try to be strong but it doesn't last.

I will always cry for you because that's the way I am I cannot let you go but I want you to know that I LOVE YOU MY SISTER ROSEMARIE>>>>SISTERS FOR EVER>>>>

Dear Rosie you are gone and not forgotten. You left me with lots of sadness and tears enough to make a river. You left without saying goodbye. God came and took you from us in the middle of the night and only God knows why. I miss you and love you, for now I will say so long, until we meet again.

Love always Mom
