Hello Mom,
I miss you all the time and I find myself saying and doing more things like you did all the time. Everyone is doing well, we lost a few to Covid but I’m sure you welcomed them home with a big embrace, give Dad a hug for me, although you’re happy to have him by your side again, we miss him here with us. I love you, I miss you, thank you for all the beautiful memories. ♥ Your daughter Jul.

I love you mom and I am so happy for that night of just us laughing and talking until 2:00 am in the morning just prior to your going home celebration. Going to the store late at night to buy junk food in our Pj's and winter coats was fun. I will cherish those hours of time forever. I am also happy you and dad were able to love again and enjoy your time together before you left us. Wally, Jodi, Junior, Juliene and myself are all okay. We miss you but we will love you forever. Marion
