Hi Mom,
Dad and I had a quiet day on your birthday, you are always in our hearts and minds. I bet you had an awesome party with the angels and our family there. We love and miss you so very much!

You would have been only 72 today. Miss you terribly. I don't need to tell you all that is going on here; you can see all for yourself. I feel you with me often and it brings me great comfort.

Hi Mom today is your birthday and missing you like always. As you know I now have that glacoma disease in both eyes I know medicine for this is great these days but I am still scared to death. John does a great job in comforting me but it is not you!!! How is everyone over there? Everyone in my family doing good. Nick got his first job and Jessica has moved out on her own. Our Jennifer the strong one is holding us all together bless her. Love you bunches mom talk to you on the 4th of July. I bet the view is great from there on that day. Big kisses

Hi Mom the Leahy's had a very low key Christmas this year new jobs for John and Jessica but we had a great day. Miss you so so much this year I am praying it will get easyer it has not yet. I love and miss you greatly.

Wow Christmas Eve was wonderful, I felt you here with us. I could almost hear you laughing with us. What a beautiful legacy you have left here! I miss you so much, Mom and I love you.

Hi Mom,
You would have been so proud of this Christmas. So many grandchildren and great grandchildren, we could hardly fit in the house! Miss you terribly.

Dear Mrs. Rushlow,

It seems so strange to be writing this. There are so many memories while growing up. I feel so bless to have been a part of your wonderful family. You always took care of us and scolded us as well when we did something we shouldn't have. Those memories will never go away. I lost touch for a little while and then you came to my bridal shower. It was so awesome to see you. I didn't see the family much but I did keep in touch with Theresa. I then was invited to your Granddaughters baby shower. Wow, everyone was so grown up. I wish I had been around more and got to see them grow up.

I'm sure you are now watching everyone and know how much you are missed. You will always be in my prayers. Keep those lights in the heavens lit so that we too can follow them as we continue our journey with god in hopes to meet with him and see you again when we walk that lighted path. I can see it each time I look up to heavens at night. All my love.

Happy Mothers Day. I was blessed this morning with a hummingbird as I walked out my front door this morning. I know it was you. Miss you.
Love you.

Happy Mothers day a day late. I was just not able to talk/type yesterday. I sure do miss you.Life is very different with out you in it everyday I know your with us everyday but it is not the same by any measure. I Love you and will think of you always. your baby Karen.

Hi Mom,
it's a couple of days past your birthday and it' my baby girl's birthday. I miss you so much and I am still finding it hard get past the fact that you are not coming out the bedroom to have breakfast with me while Dad does his breathing treatment. I am so scared Mom. I've lost you and I know Dad is not the same without you. I am afraid that I will fail him and I want so badly for you to be happy with me and proud of how I am taking care of Dad. I love you Mom--- your oldest, Sheri

Happy Birthday Mom, Well this is our first birthday with out you and it is very empty. We will be going to dinner to celebrate your day.I am doing well after my surgery but you know that and that there was no cancer!!!!I just have so much to say to you but I just don't know how to put it into words so I will see you in my dreams like always. Big Hugs and Kisses miss you deeply. Your baby Karen(as Sheri would say your special one)

GOD’S GARDEN

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw her tired face
He knew her road was getting rough
that the hills were too hard to climb
He knew she'd never get well on earth again
so He kissed her cheek
and held her in His arms
He closed her weary eyelids
then tenderly whispered "PEACE BE THINE"
and laid her down to rest
Gods garden must be beautiful
for He ONLY takes the best
However she didn't go alone
for a part of me went with her
the day God called her home!!!

Easter was not the same without you, I miss you terribly. Love You.

Good Morning Mom,
I am 52 today and I still feel like a little lost girl. Today will be like no other birthday because you will not be standing here with your beautiful smile and joyfilled eyes to bless me with a birthday wish. I know that you are with our Savior and I feel your presence with me always. I look forward to the day you will hold me in your arms again and kiss my cheek. Until then I will remember every blessed moment I had with you. I love you , Mom.

Dear Mrs. Rushlow,
You were the best mom to so many of us during our middle school and high school years. I learned so much from you even as an adult. I remember during Theresa's wedding, Heather got a terrible rash and you told me "don't worry it's Roseola". I got scared and took her to the doctor the next day and guess what? It was Roseola! Anytime we had babies showers or bridal showers you were always there. You always had nice things to say about our families and I could see it in your eyes you thought of us as your kids and were proud of how we grew up. I hope you know you had a huge part in it. I will always remember your sweet smile and beautiful heart. You can rest in peace because you made a very positive mark in this world. Love you Mrs. Rushlow!

Dear Mom #2
It has been years since our last contact with each other, boy how time flies, but I want you to know that no matter how much time has passed the memories are always with me. From the first time I met you & your family, you became my second family. You were like a mom to me. You will be missed dearly but I know I will see you again someday and I hope to see the rest of your family soon.
Love
Leathia Brown (Robinson)

I must say that I always felt really close to Aunt Helen, since I was named after her. I will always remember our ten hour shopping trips when Aunt Helen came to visit. Even though we didn't see each other as often as we would have liked to, I will greatly miss the wonderful person she was. I will always have the special memories.

Dear Aunt Helen,
You were my God mother. I always felt special to you. I never heard you talk badly of anyone, any circumstance, or hardship. You had a quiet faith and trust in God. Thank you for the memory of a faithful, loving marriage, and joy in motherhood. thats so rare these days. I'll remember your smile and the fun of many family gathering when I was young.

Your niece,

Helen,
We will always hold closely to our hearts the loving memories we have of you and the life you shared with each and every one of us. May the Lord welcome you and adore you as we all have. Blessings to your family and friends for we will all truly miss you.

Aunt Helen,
My thoughts and memories of you a wonderful, warm person, God will take care of you until the rest of us join you. May you rest in peace. We miss you terrible. Peace be with all of your family and loved ones. xoxo to all.
Dave & Twyla Rushlow & girls

I haven't the words to describe how big of a part in my life you are. I can say you will be missed by all those blessed enough to know you. I love you Nana.

Dear Mom,
How wonderful it is to be your son. I could not have asked for
a more loving, caring and beautiful Mom. God blessed us all who have you in their lives. I miss you greatly even though I know you are in a better place and feeling no more pain. I love you and you will forever be with me.

Your Loving Son,
David P. Rushlow

Our Dear Helen,
There is a void here without you. How we enjoyd our yard sale excusions. Sure had some good laughs. Can't forget the scrabble sessions. How are those streets of gold? See you upstairs.

Mom I will treaure every lesson,example,and advise you shared with me through the years, but most of all I treasure your love for your family. I miss your smile that lit up your beautiful blue eyes, your wonderful sense of humor even when pain was overwhelming. This time I have shared with you living with you and Dad can never be replaced and I am happy for the chance it gave me to get even closer to you. I love you so much Mom and I don't know where to go or what to do without you.

Mom,
I only wish that I would have told you more often how incredible you were; as a mom, friend, and grandmother. I will closely cherish every moment you were with us. There is no greater gift than the mother you were to me. I live my life with pride because of the strong mother you were to me. Though all we have now are photos, they do not express the warmth and compassion you radiated. The angels are blessed to have you now.
I love you Mom, Theresa

Mom may now you finally be pain free. I love you and will miss you more than words can ever say. Your daughter Karen

Nanna, may you find peace in your new home among the angels. We all love you so very much. Sleep Well Nanna
