Mom,
I can't believe it's 2 years for your second anniversary in Heaven. A lot has changed in all our lives. We miss the number cheerleader and superfan at sporting and muscial events. Yesterday, I watched the video where I sang a song to you in the hospital and listened to the recordings that you left the kids and I. I think about you often and wonder what you would say about all this COVID and sickness happening around here. I'm sure you are looking down from heaven and enjoying all you can eat buffets, parties, and Tennis.
Until we meet again, with all my love,

Jamie Marie Szumanski

Mom I can't believe your gone a year tomorrow already. Hopefully you're proud of what the kids and I have accomplished. We miss all the cheering at the games and school events, but we know that you're looking down from heaven. I'm also making sure that Dad aka Papa doesn't cheat at UNO and keeping him busy. This zoo picture is one of my favorites. You always like taking us to the zoo and doing things with us. Rest in peace. I can't wait to see you again someday.

Saw Marlene at church, maybe last fall. she was no longer able to speak but wrote me a note that she had ALS and say hi to my son, Trey...whom she aided for 20 years ago. Just now seeing she passed. I lost my mom & dad in Sept/Dec, so I did not realize how much time had passed since I saw her. Thinking of you Mrs. Onik today and hopefully you are smiling down on all of us. My belated sympathy to the family..xo
