Dearest Mom,
It's Thanksgiving. I remember being 19, my first thanksgiving in my first home. You were there to walk me through the stuffing and gravy. That was the start of over 40 years of wonderful holidays, meals, and celebrations at my home together.
You were there when all 4 of my children were born. Through the good and rough times in life, you, me and my husband Gary, held each others hand.
You brightened and enriched our lives with your quick wit, stories, laughter and common sense. We are so blessed and thankful to have had so many wonderful times together, from day to day life, to day trips and quite a few vacations. We all have so many great memories!
You were a fabulous and caring, friend, mom, and grandmother, who could be called on for advice or a shoulder to cry on.
You could always be found at farmers markets as you were a fabulous cook. Bridge and scrabble were your game. Your family and friends your greatest joy. You are so greatly missed! I know you are watching over us. I thank the lord for you and all the years we had together.
Your loving and grateful daughter, Judy

Judy I originally wrote this for my brother.Your loved one is no longer here to look at the stars on a cloudness nite,see the colors of the fall leaves,the pattern of a single snowflake caught on the hand,the beauty of spring flowers or to feed the animals and birds. But we are,so take time to do similar things yourself and pass this gift to others,especially a child. your friend

Linda, the loss of anyone's loved one is tough to get through. But, losing one's mother
ranks about the highest. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don Brignolo

Judy and family, I know how much your mom meant to you and how much her passing hurts. Like Gary said, she now has no pain, doesn't suffer at all and is watching over all of you. Pray for each other, keep each other close and ask God for continued strength as you heal. May God bless you all. Amen

So very sorry about your loss. It is hard to let a parent go even when you know they are at peace, pain free and in a better place. I remember your Mom from Girl Scouts. Sweet.

Mom, I miss you already, but I'm so happy you are now in a peaceful state and can walk again and are pain-free. I know you are now watching over me and Denece, the grandkids and great-grandkids from the other side. We love you! -- Gary
