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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.......

"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">

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....

Sherrylee

March 9, 2011

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.

Sherrylee

March 8, 2011

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.

Sherrylee

March 7, 2011

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.....

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.

Sherrylee

March 6, 2011

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.

In Loving Memory of my sister Rosemarie on this special day FEB.26,2011. Rose would of been celebrating her 56th birthday today. Rose was a loving wife,daughter,sister,sister-in-law and auntie. Rosie had many struggles and obstacles during her life. But no matter how ill she became she would be there for you to listen or lend a helping hand. Rose was a peace keeper and a loving friend. Rosie's favorite poem was Footprints In The Sand, her favorite song was Island In The Stream and her favorite hobby was Bingo. Her Love of her life was her family. Rosie you are dearly missed by everyone. Thinking of you today, tomorrow and forever. Love Always Your Sister Sherrylee.

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 never know when the moment hits it can be anywhere or anytime. That's when I start to cry and remember that you are gone. Rose they say that time heals a broken heart I don't think mine will ever mend. I feel that you were taken from us to soon, but there is no turning back time. I will always carry you in my heart. 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>>>>

I miss you so much my dear sweet sister Rosie. I think of you everyday. Always have and always will. Its so hard not having my best friend around. I bought new phones they dont work very well but who cares i have on one to talk to. I miss our conversations over the phone. You telling me what was for dindin and me wishing I was there to share a sit down dinner. I miss watching our favorite episodes over the phone together. Robert thought we were so silly. Oh Rosie, I miss you so much. You were a good big sister. I have so so many wonderful momeries of growning up with your funny stories and card games and the nail painting. My heart hurts so much and I cry everyday. I miss you, dearly/words cant express how much I love you....Rest In Peace..dear sweet Rosie.
