Hi mom!!
I just seen my first 2 fawns of the season. Seems to be a late summer for them. I was watching them for quite awhile and was thinking how you would be so happy to be here with me sharing this moment. I really miss you mom and love you. I hope there is some sort of after life and you are happy and you were with me sharing that moment. Just was thinking about you. I love you mom.

Mom,
I have been thinking about you so much that it is very hard to go on sometimes. I really miss you and am sure you are in a much better place than you where when you were here. I know you wished you were living in Wisconsin but that is the way things go sometimes when people control you. I love you and miss you mom

I am going to try and get those pictures of the wildlife her and me spent watching out on my front lawn while she stayed with me. I know she wanted to stay with me towards the end of her life but sometimes things just happen that are beyond our control

I just want to let you all know that have sent these beautiful wishes to my mother and my family that you are fabulous. I really had no idea that I had so many wonderful and beautiful friends that cared so much about me and my feelings about my mom. I know some of you knew her and many of you didn't. I do however know that if you did know her in her younger days and even shortly before she got very ill you would have got the greatest laughs out of her. She did have me take a picture of her to give to my brother and his wife after everthing has been settled. I think them and everyone eles will get quite a laugh out of it as she was just as funny as I can be ..lol imagine that...someone else like me..te,he. But for real everyone...thank you all very much and you make my heart feel so very good and i'm sure my mom's is feeling wonderful about all the people I know and wished she could have met and known you like I do. But close to the time when the book is closing I will add the picture and everyone will laugh as she was a real cutie and a card. I really hope when I get to her age I will be as pretty and beautiful as she is. I love you all and thank you.

I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT IN ONE OF THE WEEKS THIS SUMMER...AND HOW SHORT IT SEEMED, MY MOM CAME OUT AND WE SPENT MOST OF THE TIME OUT IN THE FRONT YARD WATCHING MY PETS AND THE WILDLIFE IN WHICH SHE LOVED SO VERY MUCH. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I ASKED HER IF SHE WANTED TO COME OUT AND STAY FOR ANOTHER DAY OR SO. SHE GRABBED ME AND SAID NO SHERRY I WANT TO STAY OUT THERE. WE EVEN HAVE A PICTURE OF HOW WE HAD SOME OF OUR CHICKENS, DUCKS AND GEESE IN THE HOUSE...CRAZY...WELL YES BUT MOM AND ME HAD LOTS OF FUN WITH IT AND NOW YOU KNOW HOW MOM AND ME HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. IT WAS JUST THE SMALL CRAZY LITTLE THINGS THAT WOULD BRING JOY TO US. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW MOM ABOUT HOW MUCH I AM THINKING ABOUT YOU AND MISSING YOU VERY MUCH. I LOVE YOU...KISSES AND HUGS TO YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU AND RONNIE ARE NOW ENJOYING FINALLY BEING MARRIED IN HEAVEN.

Sherry and family,
My heart goes out to you at the loss of your mom. My mother passed 3 years ago and I was devastated. I know how much you put into your relationship with your mom, and how much you got out of it. That relationship was most precious to you. Lean on your memories, they will carry you through.

Please know this is not the last step in life. You will see her again in the house of our Lord. Sherry, if you need anything, (anything at all) please know that I am here for you.

Your friend forever,

Life comes and all to soon it is gone. During the journey, most try to do the right thing but often times stumble. But, if in the end if we can put our arm around those that we love, learn from the bad and focus on the good, then the end is as it should be. She had a good last birthday.

Mom...I just want to let you know that there is not one day that goes by that I don't think about you. I am so very happy that you and me made peace with each other. The thing is that I still wish we had so much more time to spend with each other. But there never is enough time. I was just thrilled when you were buried with Ronnie. At least now I know you finally got the best wedding ever. You are married by God in heaven. Who could ask for anything more. Now you are with grandma, grandpa, Albert, and Rosemary too. Mom I miss all our fun times we had with cruising on the dirt bikes and going to play bingo. I know you were really enjoying the time you were getting to know Joe playing bingo with him too... I love and miss you so very much....the biggest hugs and kisses from your daughter. I love you mom, Sherry

To the Family of Ann,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time. We will always remember Ann taking Nipper for walks by our house. Ann would always tell us when Nipper just had a bath and hair cut.
God Bless you all during this hard time.

Fred & Sherry, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can remember when we were kids & played together in Delano while our parents were playing cards. I know this will be a tough time for all of you. Losing my mom only a few months ago, I truly understand the pain. I've heard many stories about our mom's who also go way back when they were kids and hung out together. Memories are wonderful things we can hold on to. God bless your family.
