Hi Mom,

Well just a quick note to say we got the keys to the new apt today, after looking at so many and being disappointed by the one we had our hearts set on. It didn't pass inspection.

We decided to stay here at Massmills, the only thing is, that we are moving back to mill 100.
Yes that's right on the 6th floor, apt 605, it's a 2 bdrm, 2 bath, all new appliances & rugs & it's right next to the elevator. Thank God, no long hallway anymore.

We are going to take our time moving, starting out with some boxes and furniture each day until we're done.

Thinking of you as we always do,
With Love, Forever & Always,

Love,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Well, today marks the 3rd anniversary since you've been gone. Still missed, loved & thought of every day.

Although the grieving gets a little easier
with each passing day, you will never be forgotten. You are forever and always will be in our hearts.

All My Love,

Hi Mom,

Just a quick note to say hello, and to say Happy Belated Valentine's Day. Sorry I missed writing to you that day, but it was a very busy day, from start to finish.

Billy gave me a pretty card and a nice silver chain bracelet, along with a pair of pajamas that I picked out of course. Plus he cooked a great meal as he usually does on Sundays -Valentine's Day.

I gave him a big heart of chocolates, 2 boxes of chocolate covered cherries, & 2 bags of conversation hearts plus some fishing tackle stuff.

We gave Eugene some money, chocolates & heart cookies. He is doing well, just waiting for our two bedroom apt. to come through, should be soon, hopefully.

Well, will talk to you later as I always do.
All my Love, Now, Forever, & Always
Love,
Kathy

Happy Birthday Mom,

Wow today is your 88th b-day, boy time flies by too quickly. Sorry, it's been far too long since I've said hello. I started writing after Christmas but was interupted by the phone ringing off the hook as usual, then around New Year's the same thing happened again. I really am sorry, that's such a poor excuse but it's the truth.

Now, it's 8:30am and I don't care what happens, nothing is getting me off this computer with you.

Everyone seems to be doing ok. I talked with Jan the other day, they are doing fine, but very busy with work, babysitting Chloe, Mom you should see her, she is just cute. Only 2 but all grown up like she's 18 and Miss independent. Haven't seen her in awhile because
I usually have appointments when Jan comes in on Wednesdays so I can imagine how much she's grown since Christmas,

Linda & Jack are doing fine, keeping busy everyday like they always have. Linda had Jimmy's & Jacob's picture taken which she picks up tomorrow, can't wait to see them.

Mary & Joey each just had procedures done just recently, Mary had shots done in her neck and spine which didn't help now she may have to have surgery.
Joey had to his right leg checked for a blockage again but he said it came out fine.

Peggy & Ruthy are doing ok, both doing the best they can be. Peg's knee's still bother her & so do her legs & back but she never complains just continues to put up with it.
Ruthy has had to go back into the the hospital for her heart a few times, they put stints in
a couple times already.

Saw Jimmy & Lexi the other day and talked to Janet, they are doing fine too. They had to get a new car because the transmission went on the other one, so they got the same kind only a newer one.

Johnny & Sandy I guess are doing ok, I talked with him on his birthday. Of course it wasn't for long, he had just gotten up, but he said they were fine.

As for us, we are doing fine, Billy & Eugene
along with everyone else are waiting for the
Super Bowl this Sunday.
I had shots done in my back & right hip yesterday but otherwise why complain right. There are so many people in this world who are worse off than me.

Well Mom, it's time to go for now but I promise it won't be so long before I write
again.

Lots of Kisses & Hugs,
Love & Miss You Much,
Always,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Just a note to say hello, we love & miss you every minute of every day. There is not a day that goes by, you are not on and in our minds.

Well, I was treated Mon, Nov.2 at the Olive Garden, as a Happy Belated B-day Dinner. It was absolutely the best.

While we were there, I was thinking about the time you wanted to try it out, but the line was too long. You never did get a chance to try the place, did you?

It was organized by my friend Cindy, who treated me for dinner & drinks.We were joined by Jan & Scott, Mary, Peg, Charlene,& Eugene. It was such a pleasant evening, that everyone of us had no complaints & really had a good time.

Thank You Cindy, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Everyone for coming. I
really enjoyed myself & know we'll
see each other soon. Thanks again Cindy.

Well, Mom it's time to go for now,
but will write again soon.

Love Always,

Hello Mom,

Sorry it's been over a month since
I've been on. Things have been a little busy for me lately, yes I know, I have been on the computer trying to get on facebook. Finally, figured it out although, it wasn't that difficult.

As you know there have been other things going on like Dr. appts, and stuff that keeps me busy & my mind occupied while recuperating.

Everyone is doing fine, talked to Jessica the other day, she said Johnny and all of them are doing well. Except Johnny's shoulder is acting up again.

Scotty & Jenny are expecting baby # 2,
and Chloe celebrated her 2nd b-day w/Jan on the 22nd. She is soooo cute.

Scott had a nice surprise b-day get together for Jan, at their house on Saturday. Very nice & much deserved.
She received alot of nice presents, including a beautiful electric picture frame, that holds thousands of pictures which rotates all of them. Michele, Darren & girls gave her it to her.

Johnny & Mel drove to NJ this wkend to see her brother and to take the kids on a little vacation. They are going to six flags, & some other places there.

Andrew is getting soo tall now and he's going into 2nd grade. Aiva, she is sooo cute. She'll be 2 on Oct. 26.
Peggy said she is like Mary when she was little, acts just like her.

Eugene is still working at The Village Smokehouse as a Bouncer, which he likes. He's doing ok as you know, you are keeping your watchful eyes on all of us as you always do.

You Are Our Angel On Our Shoulders. Mom, Thank God We Have You. We Love & Miss You, Now and Forever.

Love Always,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

I know it's been almost a month since I've written, & I'm sorry. Will try to be better next time.

Well, most of us are getting together at Jimmy & Janet's house today for a big 4th of July cookout. Like we've done over the last couple of years.

It's always so nice when we gather up there for the day, have some good old BBQ, play horseshoes, cards, watch the kids in the pool, listen to music, do kareoke and just sit around eating & drinking (some of them anyway).

We'll miss you not being with us of course, but you will be in our thoughts, prayers, and our minds, through out the day.

Thinking of you always.
Love & Miss You,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Sorry it's been so long since I've written, things have been a little busy for all of us lately. Everyone is going on with their everyday lives, working, trying to survive in today's economy.

Well, Billy, Eugene & I are doing fine. I take it one day at a time. Each passing day, I get stronger, which is great for me. Walking still comes a little slow, but, I'll get there with patiece and perseverance. It may take time, which is something I have plenty of.

I'm all finished with my physical therapist, at home this week, and can not go to outside therapy until after I see Dr. Brick July 24th.

Peggy had surgery on June 4, in Boston for a tumor in her neck again, only this time, it was on the other side. She is home now, but not feeling very well. Her face & left ear are all swollen and very uncomfortable.

I see Jan mostly every Wednesday, when she brings Chloe down. Oh Mom, you would get a kick out of her, she is so cute; with her red hair and cute self, & adorable little laugh and those legs of hers.

She use to be a little chunkier but has thinned down quite a bit, but her legs are still a little plump. Definately cute as can be for shorts. I look forward to those visits each week, I'll tell you.

She has gotten to know all of us and calls us by name. She calls me Auntie Kathy, Uncle Billy, Gene, Jimmy & baby (Jacob).
When Billy, Jimmy & Jacob aren't here, she looks for them too.

Well, I talk to all my sisters, & Joey &
Jimmy all the time, we don't hear from
Johnny, Sandy, John Paul, Jessica, Danny
& Lisa at all so I can't give too much info on them. I'm sure you know more than us.

Well Mom, I've been sitting in one spot for too long. My back brace is starting to bother me, & my back is letting me know that it's time to lye down for awhile.

Good Night for now Mom,
I'll write again soon,
Love & Miss You Always,

Kathy

Hi Mom,

Just a quick note to say hello, and to let you know that I got my back brace today, the one I'll have to wear for
6-12 weeks after the surgery.

Jacob is doing well after his surgery the other day, a little uncomfortable but, otherwise fine.

Mary, Peggy, & Aiva came down the other day to visit before I go into the hospital. It was nice to see them, even though I see them all the time. It was just nice to see them at my house, that's all.

Janice and Chloe were going to come too, but, my appt ran longer than I expected, so Jenny had to pick up the baby and Jan went with Scott to their appointment.

Well, Mom it's getting late, so I'll close for now, but will write again soon.
I love & miss you.

Love Always,

Hi Mom,

Today is Sunday, March 22, 2009. I'm just sitting around eating my oatmeal and drinking my coffee.

I had my teeth out on Thursday the 19th,
finally, after going three times. Each time I went there was another reason why they couldn't take them out.

Well, it's only another week before my back surgery. Mom, I have to admit I'm getting scared and very nervous. I have so much anxiety that I've had to take my meds every day. I normally only take my anxiety meds when I go to Boston, or once in awhile, but not everyday. Deb said it's ok for me to take them because it's only natural to feel this way.

Mom, I know you are always keeping a watchful eye on all of us, but could you
and God say extra prayers for me and keep me safe during surgery on the 31st.
Thank you.

Jacob is having surgery on Tuesday the 24th, for a hernia, please keep him in your prayers too.

Do you remember when William had the same surgery? I do, he was only 6 wks old. He had his surgery at Boston's Children's Hospital but ended up @ St. John's because of infection. I was
working there at the time, so I visited
him every chance I had, which was all the time, because I worked on that floor.

Wow, how time flies, it seems like yesterday that Kaileigh's little Daniel was just born, but he's going to be 1 next Monday the 30th. She's having a party for him on Sunday the 29th. It's a combination party for him, he's being baptized that day too, so it's a baptism & birthday party, which should be nice.

Well Mom, have to go for now, will talk to you soon, within the next couple of days. I'll let you know how Jacob is doing. I LOVE & MISS YOU MOM.

All my love,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Today is Sunday, March 7,. Just a quick note to say hello, to let you know I'm thinking of you.

I talked to Rita Caron a little while ago, you know your old roommate at Palm Manor. She said she's doing ok, but she's thinks about you all the time.

I've had such a busy week, with appts, its not even funny, all these are leading up to the surgery @ the end of the month.

Janice and Chloe came down for a visit on Wednesday, she is so cute with that red hair and those chubby cheeks and that adorable little laugh she has.

Mom, I know you would get a kick out of all these grandbabies you have; with Andrew, Aiva, Jimmy, Jacob, Chloe, Mykal,
Zack, Naveah, Tylor, Patrick, Stephen, and Little Daniel. They are all so cute.

Every one seems to be doing fine.
Until the next time.

All my love,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Well it's Thursday the 26th of February and I didn't have my teeth out yesterday because the doctor only booked me for an exam and xrays. So I'll have them out on the 18th of March.

Even though Toni is home with baby Jacob I still take Jimmy a few days a week. He's really fun to have, keeps me company and very busy, I enjoy him so much.
After March 31st, I won't be able to have him anymore for a long while, until I recover from my back surgery.

Speaking of Jacob, he has to go in to Children's Hospital in Boston on March 24th for surgery to remove a hernia.
Tom & Toni will be with him that day and I'll have Jimmy, my little buddy.

Mom you should see him, he sticks to me like glue, where I go, he's right by my side, I love it. He's my boy. Just like all the others were, do you remember.

Well Mom, I'll write to you soon. All my love, until the next time.

Love,
Kathy

Hi Mom,

Well today is two years since you been gone; so far away from us. So happy 2nd anniversary. I do take comfort in knowing that you're in a better place with so many friends and family members, and not suffering in pain the way you use too. Also, knowing that you're celebrating every day in the afterlife with God as you did in life itself.

Peggy just got out of the hospital today.
She was admitted Saturday night with chest & arm pains. They did all kinds of tests on her for her heart and stomach, put her on medicine and let her come home.The medicine is for her stomach, and she has to see a gastrointerologist.

As you know, today is Lynn & Andrew's birthdays. Lynn has the day off along with tomorrow and Andrew had 2 parties on Saturday and a celebration in school today.

I go in tomorrow to have my teeth taken out. Then in March, I have so many appts.; that will end when I have my back surgery on March 31st @ Brigham & Women's in Boston. I'll be in the hospital 4 days and then I'll go to rehab for a little while.

Love and Miss you Lots,
Always,
Kathy

I just stumbled across this guest book and couldn't believe all the people on here that I remember from way back living at the Merrimack Plaza. I remember "Ga" Brogan. She was a really sweet and friendly lady who was so nice to everyone she met. My sister Becki was friends with Kathy Brogan. I remember her and the Pitman's, as well as Michele and Charlene Trigones, and Janice Conant, and Lori Viney. I'm very sorry for your great loss everyone and I hope everyone is well. I'm sure Ga is missed every day.

Hi Mom,

Just a quick note to say hello and to let you know I'm thinking about you as I always do. Also, to let you know what's going on around here. I'm sure you already know from watching over us every second of every day.

First of all, Kaileigh had her little boy on Sunday, March 30, he weighed in at 6lbs. 20" and was born a little after 3:30 pm. His name is Daniel Jesse.

Second, we are moving to Mill 100,
at the end of the month. We are doing well.

Mary & Peggy have their own health
issues going on, as for the rest of the family they seem to fine.

I Love you & miss you,

Hi Mom,

Happy Easter.
We went to see you today and I bought you a cross full of beautiful flowers with an angel on them, from all of us. I'm sure you were looking down upon us and happy with the choice we made.

We had dinner at our house. Peggy, Joey, Earl & Paula all came over. Then Donnell, Kristen, & the Kids, Tasia & her kids came by later for desert. I must say it was definately not the same without you here.

You are missed every second of every day, but you left us here to carry on without you, and I am doing my best. We all are and we are surviving, thanks to the strength
we learned and inherited from watching you. Thanks Mom.

Well Mom it is getting late and I have to get up early, I do miss talking to you. Talk to you soon.

I Love & Miss You,
Forever in My Heart,

Good Morning Mom,

Just sitting here thinking about you as I always do, realizing it's been a year since you've been away from us. Where does the time go, seems like just yesterday that we were taking care of, and keeping vigil at your side, until that fateful time came at 8:02pm when we had to say our first goodbyes.

We had a nice 1st anniversary mass for you yesterday, at St. Patrick's.
It was celebrated along with the 4:00pm mass in your honor.

You may be gone physically, but, believe me you are never forgotten.

You are thought of daily by each one of us. Forever in our thoughts, prayers and hearts.

Love & Miss you Mom,

Sorry I didn't write on your Birthday or Valentine's Day, it's not that I wasn't thinking of you, because, you know I was. You are on my mind every second of every day.

I just had to get past my own feelings and finally get to the computer. I'm so sorry I didn't get to it before.

Happy belated Birthday and Valentine's Days, I LOVE AND MISS YOU, so very much.

I hope your days went well, waking up in no pain, sitting there talking to all your many friends and family up there.

Hi Mom,

Well, it's Christmas Eve, so much time has past. I can't believe it's already been 10 months since you've been gone. Time just seems to be passing by so quickly before you know it.

I miss you so much and I'm sorry I didn't write to you on Thanksgiving.
Although it was a very busy day as it usually is, and a very nice one too, that doesn't excuse me from writing. You were on my mind all day, infact we all raised our glasses in a toast to you that day.

Billy Lynch, was here that day and he's coming up tomorrow for Christmas Dinner, he's bringing Vincente with him. He's been coming up alot and keeping in touch with Billy, Eugene, & I since your funeral.

Although, it's Christmas time, for the first time in my life, that I can truly say I am really not in the spirit this year. I mean, I have some Christmas spirit but it's not the same as other years.

If it weren't for me babysitting Jimmy and having the year we did for new babies in our family, things would definately be worse. Jimmy is such a fun & enjoyable baby, well, little guy to watch.

Besides, I know you'd be kicking me in my pants saying to me "Christmas is for kids" "what are you sitting around on your butt feeling sorry for yourself for"? You'd better get up and start doing something about it.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH MOM, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, YOU'RE FOREVER IN MY HEART. UNTIL THEN, I'LL STILL WRITE TO YOU.

LOVE ALWAYS,
KATHY

Hi Mom,

Sorry it's been so long since I've written to you but, as you know I haven't gone long since talking to you.

Well, so much has been going on lately. First of all Mary has not been feeling well, she had to have surgery on her left hand & wrist for carpal tunnel. Also, her whole left side is swollen, and the doctors have not figured out what it is yet.

Peggy is doing fine, although she is in so much pain everyday, and she is finally seeing the right doctors.

Now for the good news, you have your 1st great-great grand child, a boy. Kortney & Brian had their baby boy on October 16, @ 9:02 pm.
He weighed 6lbs 11oz, and his name is Stephen Brian Ambrose.

You also have a new great granddaughter named Aiva Anna Pitman, born to Johnny & Melanie on October 26 @4:14 am. She weighed in @ 8lbs 4oz.

Everyone seems to be doing fine, we all keep in touch and try to see each other as often as we can.

I Miss and Love you so much, it still hurts. But, I know you live in my heart and are with me forever.

The holidays are just around the corner. They will not be the same without you. Please help all of us get through them, and watch over us the way you do everyday.

Thanks for everything you've done for me in my life time Mom. You've made me the woman I am today and I'm proud to say that you are my Mom. I LOVE YOU FOREVER .

Love,
Kathy

Hi Mom,
It took me awhile to write to you but here it is, I want you to know you are missed and thought of very much everyday. I see stuff around my house that you bought me and I remember the other day i was watching Anne of Green Gables-remembered how you liked watching that series while you crocheted. Of all your kids I'm told I'm the one most like you. That's not bad considering you were loved by so many people. I know I do try to be kind and not judge people, just like you. I know you're in peace now, no more hurting.
Missing you everyday, forever in my heart. ~Love, Linda

Hi Mom,

Came to visit you today, and to see your new stone (the veteran's one.) Everything looks nice, now the only thing to do is to get some more pretty flowers. I think we'll go with an artificial bouquet for now; that will withstand the upcoming winter. The other thing that will make it complete, is an eternal angel, near your flag. I'm going to pick that up within the next week.
WELL MOM, have to go for now but shall write again soon
ALL MY LOVE, NOW AND FOREVER. MISSING YOU SO MUCH IT STILL HURTS.

P.S.
Well, we have great news, as I'm sure you already know. Little Chloe Anna made her entrance into the world on Wed. Aug.22,2007 @4:50pm, 7lbs 8oz.
Congratulations,
Scotty and Jenny, we love you.

She gave her Grammy a very nice birthday present, herself.

She is also an honor to you Mom, with her middle name as Anna.
Well, I'll talk to you later, as you know I talk to you several times a day. I love you.

Michele

hi mom.
been awhile that i've wriotten,doesn't mean i don't think of you. i do very much. i miss you like crazy. don't do much of anything now. just wanted to say hello. and i love you

June 24, 2007

Hi Mom,

Well, it's been 4 months now. Even though I have the love and support of everyone, I still have such a hard time without you.

My heart aches everyday for you. But it helps me by the fact that I know you are in such a place of eternal love, happiness and no pain. God needed another angel so he called you home.
Although, not one of us have ever been perfect, and we all have our faults, YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN ANGEL IN MY EYES. NOW,YOU WILL BE MY FOREVER ANGEL.
THANK YOU MOM, I LOVE AND MISS YOU.

Peggy and I went to visit you yesterday, the grass has grown in and your kneeling flat stone is down. Now we are just waiting for your veterans flat stone to come in.
The flowers still look pretty, but I'd like to plant a few more.

Today is the day we chose to go through all of your things: pictures,yarn and all the other belongings you had. It's going to be a very hard day for us, but I know we'll get through it because, you are watching over all of us.
It's going to be all 8 children and some of the older grandchildren.

Finally, the other day, (Father's day) Johnny & Sandy told us that Danny & Lisa are expecting too.
So that makes 3 great-grandchildren
and 1 great-great-grandchild coming.

Well have to go for now Mom, talk to you soon on the computer that is; you know I have my daily conversations with you.

Love, Kathy

HI MOM;
WELL IT'S JUST ME THE RABBIT: CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL HOW MUCH I MISS YOU; NEVER THOUGHT I COULD MISS SOME ONE SO MUCH. BACK IN 1982 I LOST MY BETS FRIEND AND I THOUGHT THAT HURT ALOT; BUT NOTHING LIKE MY TRUE BEST FRINED YOU. HAVING A HARD TIME, BUT LIKE ALL MY SISTER AND BROTHERS TELL ME I'M NOT ALONE, AND I KNOW THAT'S TRUE. BUT I ALSO KNOW THEY HAVE THERE OWN TO DEAL WITH. I MISS YOU MOM AND THINK OF YOU ALWAYS.
GLAD I TALK TO YOU;
LOVE YOU PEG

Hi Mom,

Sorry I haven't written in awhile,
it's not that I haven't been thinking about you, because you are on my mind every second of every day.
I love and miss you now,
just as much as the day you were called away to your eternal home.

We went to see you on Mother's day, and some went on Memorial day. Now Father's day is here and I'm sitting here writing to you, mmm, seems funny. I should have been here on Mother's day. Either way, things still feel right for me, because you have always been both my MOM and DAD my entire life. I want to thank you for that.

Well, as you must already know the news, you have 2 new great granddaughters on the way, and both are HONORING YOU with their middle names of Anna.

You also have a new great-great grandchild on the way, isn't that exciting.

Well anyway Mom, have to go for now, but shall write again soon.

I love and miss you now, always and forever.

hi ma, happy mother's day, i'll bet you were happy so many of us made it down to see you today. we are all doing fine, comforted by the fact that you are in a place with no pain, with family and friends at your side and you are keeping an eye on us, love jan

Happy Mother's Day, Ga! I just know your looking over us all. I Miss & Love You.

This was sent to me by a friend, i shared it with Michele and we both found it comforting....so i'll share it with all. I know this is how GA would want us to feel...

Don’t think of her as gone away,
her journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrow and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost,
and she was loved so much.

Michele

Ga,

Kathy

April 15, 2007

Hi Mom,

Just a note to say I love and miss you so much, but with each passing day it does get a little bit easier, knowing that you're at peace and without pain. Although my heart aches for you, especially with Easter just passing. I know each holiday will bring sadness, and they will never be the same without you. But I know we all must go on, just as you would want and expect us to.

All my love always and forever,
Kathy

To all of my cousins and families,
I didn't get a chance to see all of you after the funeral for Aunt Anna, but I want you all to know I have been thinking about all of you. I have many fond memories of Aunt Anna, especially when we would get into mischief and get caught. Joe you and I always get caught no matter how hard we tried not to. Your mother didn't miss a trick!! The funeral was a wonderful tribute to your mom. She was proud of her military service, and was buried with the dignity that she deserved. Jo says that even though she never met your mom, that she knows she would have enjoyed spending time with her. That she sounded like a woman with lots of spunk and so much love to share. Again, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to see all of you and share stories about your mom. Let's keep in touch. Keeping all of you close in thought.
Love Ed & Jo

It was a double funeral
Because a part of me died
Along with you.....

MISS YOU GA. You were my mentor. My inspiration. The one person that never looked down upon me...and my bad influence ;-) heehe.
My world is empty without ya. :(

March 18, 2007

Hi Ga,

You would be so proud of all of us, for how much our family has supported each other. I am so very proud! We have a wonderful family!
..& extended famlily. Aunt Isabel's kids have been around lots. And the Conant side of the family has bee a temendous support ! Anyhow, Ga, I miss you. Could always tell my Ga, anything. I still don't get, the people who say you were tough. I remember sleeping in your bed with you til I was....too old!& you kicking my grandfather out of bed, because I said he was "squishing" me! I think I just loved you,wanted you all to myslef!
Anyhow, I truly miss you! I love you, as much as my own kids!

To my sisters, brothers, two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law:

Thank you for being there for me when I finally broke down. We all need one another always, and we all have to work very hard to keep this family of ours together and strong. I know that I need all of you to keep strong because without all of you my strength is no good, it was more or less lost to me after taking care of Ma. You all know that I hold everything in, always. So I know I need all of you. Love, Mary

Mary Pitman

March 16, 2007

Johnny, Mel and Andrew, Ga heard your news about the baby that last night and she would be so happy as she was always happy about news like that. She loved all of her grandkids and great- grandkids, always. I also want to thank you, Johnny and Mel for you strong support of me during the hard time I had afterwards and want you to know that I continue to need that to be strong again. Love, Ma

Mary Pitman

March 16, 2007

Linda, Because of your strength and being there with me to pack Ma's things like you did, I was able to get through it. Thank you, Love Mary

Mary Pitman

March 16, 2007

To Ga's grandkids and great-grand-kids :
All of you are the future of this family and Ga loved each of you. Each of you have to be there for each other and keep pulling together and be strong for to keep this famliy together, always. Don't forget your old aunts and uncles. Love Aunt Mary/Grammy

Mary Pitman

March 16, 2007

Ma, Because of your love and trust in me, I was able to stay strong and be stubborn as always and not break down. I was able to keep the promise I made to you, to take you home and care for you there like you wanted so that you were in your own surroundings, with all of your family there with you always. The end was rough on all of us, mostly you but you did us all proud. When it was finally over, all of your pain and suffering were gone. You were one tough lady and you gave it your best which I hope all of your kids and grandkids always do the same, give it their best always. I love you and will miss you always. Love Mary

Kathy Brogan

March 14, 2007

Mom,
I can feel your presence with me every day, as I did during my surgeries last week and this week. I knew that you'd be watching over me, for you are my guardian angel. Just as you are the angel on the shoulders of all your children, grandchildren, and all those who knew and loved you Mom.
I still miss you every second of every day but I also know you are in a better place now, where you are no longer in any pain, there's no suffering and your life is nothing but endless love, ease and happiness. God knows, you deserve it, finally. I'm so happy for you but selfishly sad for myself and the rest of our family.
You are sadly missed, until we meet at the crossroads Mom. I LOVE YOU, NOW & FOREVER.
Kathy

"GA"

Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister, friend, loved-one. These are the words you hear most when anyone speaks
of Anna (or "GA") as you would more often hear.
As I looked around the room at all of Ga's family and her extended family of friends, I can only remember thinking; "What a great group of people. All beginning with a GREAT LADY!" I just couldn't help feeling grateful and a little proud for the privilege of having known such a wonderful lady.
Daniel was sorry he could not be there but he wanted me to convey his sorrows and let you all know he's thinking and praying for all of you, especially Peg, Kathy, Eugene, Billy, Michelle, and her girls.
Thank you all for accepting and allowing Daniel and I into your warm and loving family.

me & my Ga.....Love her so much!

For every candle I blow out
Every birthday wish I get
I want you to know that you,my GA
I never will forget.

So on each birthday that i celebrate
A tear will roll from my eye
But I will raise my glass straight up
And toast it at the sky

It means a year has passed dear GA
And yes am okay
For I believe in heaven
That we will meet someday

Cause You’re gone yet not forgot,
Just forever in my heart....

My thought and prayers are with all of you.I have a favorite poem I heard once I would like to share.

God looked around his garden and found an emty space.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He then put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
For Gods garden must be beautiful for he only takes the BEST!
