Hi Wheezie....It has been awhile...that does not mean I haven't thought of you,at least once a day...I have been having some health issues lately, but since I will be 71 in March, I am relatively in good health...I just read what Caris put on her note about Ken's surgery...if it wasn't so late I would call Donna, but it is late close to 10pm their time...writing myself a note to call her tomorrow evening...Monday the 23rd, Barb is having a D and C...I hope that comes well.
Christmas is next week and I still do not have all my shopping done..it is not as much fun since we have no small ones anymore....
if you run into Elden up there give him a big hug for me...
love you always and forever.

November 30, 2013

Hi Mama, can hardly believe time has gone so fast, I remember when you turned 75 & I thought it was so old...don't think that way anymore. Ken is home he had a couple of hard nights, I was almost ready to call 911..but today he is doing good, eating & walking better..Pam & the baby came over..he is a JOY!! Love you mama, Donna

November 28, 2013

Hi Mama. It's been awhile since I've stopped by. I miss you so much. It's Thanksgiving AND your 95th birthday. Wish we could be together. We are all well. The boys are growing fast. Ken had by pass surgery and they put a pig valve in like Marshall had. He is supposed to come home today. We all love and miss you so much. Happy Birthday mama.

HI Wheezie...here it is October already and the snow is coming before we know it...just wanted you to know I still think of you often and miss you sooo much...I have not talked to Caris and Donna for a long while...just running with Teddy taking her to dialysis three times a week, but at least it is closer, they opened a place in Barberton and that is only 4 miles from her house....love you...bye for now

July 19, 2013

Well Mama, you been gone 3 years tomorrow. I still miss you everday. Everyone is well. The boys are getting so big. Adam is taller than me now. Your tomatoes are ready. You use to love picking Jim's tomatoes. Wish I could hug you. I love you Mama.

Carolyn

June 19, 2013

Hi Wheezie..it has been a while since I touched base with you...still think of you alot... since I started to take Teddy to dialysis 3 times a week, it seems like I can not get any thing done...I will do better I promise...Teddy has had several close calls, but I guess God has something planned for her down here.. I hope you and mom have some good times together like in the old days...
I haven't talked to Caris or Donna for quite a while either....Shame on me :-( ....time is flying by way to fast...Diane has a great guy in her life now and they are getting married this July (14th) they are not doing the big wedding thing....just having the mayor of Norton marry them at Bobbi's house....I really like him..kind of quiet..he reminds me of Elden in that way...
well wheezie, I miss you so much and wish you had a phone up there, just so I could hear your voice. you will always be in my heart...right next to mom...love you forever a day

Hi Wheezie...
It has been a real trying period for me and I miss not having you to talk to...I have a contract on the property in Wadsworth...they have to test to the soil and the houses for lead paint, mold, and all that stuff...I sure wish that was all done...Teddy has been the hospital for two weeks, she had to have her gall bladder out and the surgery went well, but she crashed twice in recovery...they had to put her on a ventilator for a week...she is still in the hospital and will be going to the rehab floor today...
I missed calling Caris on her birthday but I did remember. Mother's day is Sunday and next Sunday(20th) Rachelle graduates with honors in Nursing...Paige and Jill had their check up and they are doing really well.
Spring is finally here and the sun is out, a beautiful day...I am sure it is more beautiful up there in heaven...

I miss and love you still...

Hi Mama,
Today is my birthday. My second one without you. I miss you so much. You were always the first one to wish me a happy birthday. We had a party last night at Jim & Linda's for Adam & my birthday. I don't feel you around. Hope you are ok. I haven't heard from anyone in our family today. I feel pretty lonely. Jim got me a beautiful white & chocolate diamond ring. It is so pretty. He is such a great guy. I love you and miss so much. I put flowers on everyone graves on Easter. Your stone in sunken & crooked again.I called Greenlawn & they said they would fix it. If you can, send me sign. Talk to ya later Mama. I love you

Hi Mama,

It is raining very hard! So glad it is not snow. Went to Carol Mae's Memorial service yesterday. It was very nice. The kids & grandkids got up and spoke. It was good to see everyone again. It is a shame that we all are so busy with our lives that we dont keep in touch like we should. I hope you and Carol Mae are laughing and catching up. Please watch over Amanda, Pam and Donna. Amanda has not had the baby yet. They induced her Monday afternoon. Guess he is not ready for his grand appearance yet. I love you and miss you so very much. Talk to ya later Mama.

February 27, 2012

Hi Mama, it's Monday, 2/27/12, we are going to have a baby today!!I'm so excided, wish you were here IN PERSON! Pam said she has felt a presents of some one in her house...I said, "it's MOM!" I know you were in my house a while back, a golden light when on the ceiling down the wall by the fire place..that was you huh mom?? Wish you were here to comfort me, I'm a nervous wreck..hold Amanda's hand & help her through this birth. Love you Mama

Caris

February 21, 2012

Hi Mama,

Carol Mae passed away yesterday. Be sure you welcome her. She was in Hospice for a week. We have had a pretty mild winter. The boys mentioned you the other day. They miss you. I know I sure do miss you. Hope you are well and happy. Amanda is due any day now. Donna is going to the doctor with her on Wednesday. She knows she is having a boy. They want to name him Carson. This will be your first great great grandchild. She wish you could be here for that. Sending you love. Talk to you later Mama.

Hi Wheezie...Happy belated Birthday...you were on my mind all day yesterday and I was going to say hi yesterday, but my cousin Bill called and said Aunt Betty wouldn't make it through the night, so Barb, John and I headed fro the nursing home...but by the time we got there she was already gone..

The good news is Dave,Jill and Paige are doing well. Paige gave is a scare a couple of week ago..they had to fly her to Richmond, Va. they were afraid that she was rejecting the liver, but it turned to be a severe infection traveling through her system...liver is doing fine.

Well, Wheezie, I hope you, mom, and Elden keep an eye on Aunt Betty since she will be the new kid on the block (so to speak) Love you and miss you still..

Hi Mama,
Summer is over. The kids looked so cute for Halloween. Jakey was a ghost and Adam was a werewolf. They are getting so big. Cortney had a 50th Anniversary party for Chuck & Rosie. It was very nice.Bernie Snyder was there. Carolyn,Barb,Debbie & Tom, Matt & Tara & the girls were also there, as well as Jim & I and Jim & Linda & the boys. It was good to see Bernie after all these years. The leaves are falling and winter will be here soon.I still miss you so much. Donna is on her way to Hawaii. Please watch over her.I sent some money to Hospice for their memorial tree in your memory. They are having a ceremony on Nov 20th. I will be there to represent you. I hate to go alone but I know you will be there with me. Thank you for helping me find your red necklace that I lost. It was where you told me to look. I bet you got a big laugh out of me telling you that I wasnt going to look in that spot cuz I knew it wouldnt be there. After the third time of you telling me to look there, I did and THERE IT WAS! I dont remember putting it there. I went to see Vera a few weeks ago. It was her 95th birthday. She really misses you. It is hard to go back there. I still see you walking the halls. Please stay by me as the holidays get here. I miss you so very much. I love you Mama. Talk to you later

Hi wheezie....do me a BIG favor and give Elden a hug and a kiss from me...today is our anniversary (51 yrs)
I miss you so much, too, we always had a way of just having fun, going to goodwill and salvation army, and Dr. Arny's...I remember you would always kiss my hand and say "I love you", I would say "I love you more", and you would say " I've loved you longer"...we would both laugh because I could not top that....You were my second mom...always there when I needed you....see...I still need you....you kiss Elden for me OK?

here are a few kisses for you too...
(((xxxxxx))) ((((xxxxx)))

August 31, 2011

Hi Mama,
It is now the end of summer. It still seems so strange without you here. I talked to Vera @ Pleasant View, She sure misses you too. The boys are getting so big. Jakey is really growing fast. Adam is growing too. They are both still so cute. Wish you could be here with us, but like you used to be,happy and carefree. You picture is still on the front of my cell phone. I see it every day. I think about you every single day and say Good Morning Mama & Good Night Mama.I miss you walking around Jim's garden and picking/eating his tomatoes. I miss you and love you. Talk to ya later Mama

Hi Wheezie....it's been a while since I dropped by to say hi. I was so down yesterday and it didn't dawn on me then, that it has been a year (yesterday)since you left...
I can just see you and mom having some ornery fun up there....
Jill and Paige are doing great, Kathy and Dave left for Duke yesterday...hoping for an okay for the Petscan...they will leave there and head for Chinageaue, Va. the girls will leave on Sunday to join them there, I am not going this year, just can not afford the trip...it is hard for me to go anyway, with out Elden.... Diane had a graduation party for Carson and Caris came...it was good to see her...she is such a special lady(just like you and her sister)
it is a record hot day today and is not suppose to cool down until next week...
I miss you and the talks and the laughs we used to have we could always pick each other up if the other was down....well, I will say bye for now...love you,miss you...kiss Elden and mom for me

July 21, 2011

Hi Mama, I kept busy all day just trying to fill in the hours. It was nice to come home to my little happy girls. They are happy to see me even if I'm only gone for a few minutes. Luci is almost 10, Amie is 19 months. They are so cute & loving. It still doesn't seem real with you being gone, but I know you are happy & pain free. Do you have heaven running smoothly by now? Bet you do..Love, Donna (I miss you)

Caris

July 20, 2011

Hi Mama,

You have been gone 1 year today. I still miss you so much.I never realized how different my life would be without you in it. I have 3 of the outfits you wore all the time, sure wish you were in them. There are new renters in your house now. I hope they take care of it. Seems strange not to be able to go over there when ever I want. I miss you and love you very much.

Carolyn

June 30, 2011

Hi Wheezie..
it has been a really long time since I sent you my love, that does not mean I have not thought of you...(and of course, you and mom are running barefoot through my mind)...

things are finally looking up for Paige, Jill gave 70% of her liver to Paige on May 23rd....they are both doing great...Kathy has been so strong through it all, but she has had her moments of meltdowns....who wouldn't have meltdowns going thru all she has been going thru.

Caris and Donna have been good about sending the girls get well cards...and they were much appreciated, too.

Well, Wheezie, give mom a hug for me and tell her I love her and miss her. and I miss and love you too. But it makes me smile to know that you and mom are pal-ing around up there...love ya, wheezie...see ya later...

Caris

May 31, 2011

Hi Mama
So many milestones I have passed since you left. My first Labor Day, first Thanksgiving, your birthday, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, Mothers Day and now Memorial Day. They are all so hard. The hardest had to be my birthday and Mothers Day. I miss and love you very much.

Caris

May 26, 2011

Hi Mama,
Oh what strong thunder storms we had last night, either you were bowling and getting lots of strikes or you are causing trouble up there. (I know which one is more likely). Thanks for putting in a good word to the Big Boss about Paige and Jill, they are both doing really good. Please put your arms around Donna. She needs you. I love you and miss you Mama. Talk to ya later

May 25, 2011

Hi Mama, wish you were here young & healthy with a big smile on your pretty face. I feel as if I'm falling apart quickly. Thank you for my little sis, she keeps me going. I miss you. Love, Donna

Caris

May 23, 2011

Hi Mama,
Went to a Hospice Memorial service for you. It was beautiful. They gave me a little tree to plant. I miss you so much. Paige is having her liver transplant today. Jill is her donor. Please put in a good word to the Boss to watch over them and the surgeons. It has been raining so much. I remember how bad your hip used to hurt when it rained. Now, no more pain Mama. Also, watch over Donna, her back is hurting and she will have cataract surgery June 1. Please put your arms around her Mama. I love you, talk to ya later.

Hi Wheezie...it has been a while since I sent you a love note....everything is still up in the air about Paige. They are at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and we should know something in a couple of days....I have my bags packed and as soon as they set the date for a liver transplant, I will be heading for Minnesota, too. Barbie is planning on going too...Kathy, Dave, Jill and Paige need all the moral support they can get....I hope they get this show on the road soon...Jill is going to be the donor and if for some reason she can not, Rachelle said she would be happy to do that for Paige...
well, Wheezie it is late and I am finally feeling sleepy, so I will sign off for now....love you!!! tell mom I love her too...and you guys be good and stay out of trouble (lol)...I think Aunt Betty will be coming to you guys soon...and I think she will be ready to go...hugs and kiss to you, mom, and especially Elden... good night for now...

March 29, 2011

Hi Mama, this still doesn't seem real. Wish we could turn the clock back 52 years. I miss you & would like to spend a day with you & my sis, see our dad working in the yard and Oh yes we wouldn't be OLD any more!!! Love & miss you, Donna

Caris

Hi Wheezie...
it has been a while since I dropped you a line...it has been really tough around here....Paige is having alot of health issues....a rare blood disorder which makes her blood clot too much...it is effecting her liver...they tried a procedure on her at the Cleveland Clinic which could not be completed because there were too many clots in the liver....she is probably going to have to have a liver transplant....she is one sick young lady...please get together with mom and Elden and go talk to the BIG BOSS up there...we need a miracle for Paige..she is way too young for all these health problems...I don't want to believe that God doesn't have alot of plans for Paige down here....she is such a sweet kid. we are all praying for her, but you guys have a closer connection with the BIG BOSS up there....I miss you and even if I haven't checked in lately you are on my mind and in my heart always...love ya Wheezie

February 14, 2011

Hi Mama, Happy Valentines Day, wish you could in some secret way come to visit me. There is so much going on that is out of my reach, if you were here you could comfort me, maybe tell me what to do. Moms always knows best! Love you always, Your old daughter, Donna (hug my sister, she is the BEST!)

February 10, 2011

Hi Mama, ditto on my baby sister's request. She is the still the young cute one. "I know you always liked Caris best" That's joke ma, I was driving to the bank today, making a left hand turn in the turn lane & a young girl tried to pass me & hit my car. But it's O.K. it can be fixed guess that's why we carry insurance. Love & miss my Mama. Your oldest daughter, Donna

Caris

February 7, 2011

Hi Mama
I think your oldest daughter is in bad need of getting her eyesight checked. She thinks I am the young cute one. Poor Donna. It is so cold here. Cant you put in a word for us for some nice warm weather? We still miss you so much. It still does not seem right without you here. Please put in a good word for Kathy, Dave, Paige, Jill and Caroline. They are really having a rough time and need all the prayers we can muster. I miss you and love you very much. Talk to ya later Mama

February 5, 2011

January 20, 2011

Hi Mama, it has been 6 months, I know you are happy & pain free & having lots of fun. I dreamed of daddy a few nights ago, it didn't look like my dad but I knew it was him (figure that one out?) Painted a terrible picture, even Ken said it wasn't very good. He went to play cards, it's just me & my sweet doggies...Love & Miss you Mom...Donna

January 19, 2011

Hi Mama, my back seems better today, did you tell God to make me feel better? My chest is still hurting so could you give God a little nudge & maybe he can get me feeling like I use to. Love you, Donna

January 18, 2011

Hi Mama, I talked to my baby sister last night, she always makes me feel better. I sat in the spa for 30 min it seems to help, after art class I'll try it again. we saw lots of turtles yesterday & heard a bunch of frogs. I love frogs. Love & miss you Mama, Donna

Donna Gerry

January 17, 2011

Hi Mama, it's beautiful today, the sun is shinning it's about 80 degrees. I took my 2 girls for a walk down by our lake, the turtles are coming out & the lake if full of ducks. We should have lots of baby ducks soon. My back is hurting me so much, I'm going to the dr. Jan 31, Hope she can help me this pain is just a "PAIN" Love & miss my mama. Remember when I was little & had such bad ear aches, you use to sit by me & say don't cry it will just make it hurt worse. But having you there made me feel better. Love, Donna

Hi Mama,
More snow is headed our way. Everyone misses you. Heard your favorite song on the radio, made me smile. Also made chicken (the one you loved so much) last night for dinner. The one I always made when I brought you over to my house for dinner. Didn't taste the same without you there. Love you and miss you so much. Talk to ya later Mama

January 4, 2011

Hi Mama, can't believe we are starting a new year. It's hard to accept you are gone. I didn't think I would miss you so much. We all really miss you. Wish you could tell us what your mom is like. I heard she was funny & liked to play jokes on people. Love You Mom. Donna

Hi Mama,
My first Christmas without you was very hard. We had a nice time at Chucks and Rosies house Christmas Eve. You were very missed. Christmas Day at Jim & Linda's was nice and you were missed there too. I love you Mama. Merry Christmas

December 24, 2010

Hi Louise,

Well this is the first Christmas without you and It is very hard on all of us. Wish you were here so that I could talk to you about everything that is going on in my life right now. We were all here tonight for our Christmas eve together. So what we all did to remember you is to tell something that you got us one year for Christmas. We all laugh so hard remembering some of the crazy things. Like the 10-20 cans of hair spray that you use to get me. Thinking of you offer you take care and be good up there!

Love you always Rosie

Hi Mama,
It is almost Christmas. I still miss you so much. It is hard to believe you have been gone 5 months. Donna is really having a hard time, please try to send her some loving hugs. The kids miss you too. They talk about you. Jakey has your little stuffed dog and when they came for a sleepover he had it with him. It touched my heart to see him hugging it as he slept. Those boys are so precious. I will talk to ya later Mama. I love you

Hi Mama,
I am having a very hard time during this holiday season. My heart is just not in it this year. I wish so much that I could talk to you or hug you. You always made me feel better by telling me everything is ok. Everything is not ok this year. I miss you so much. I see your picture and talk to you everyday. My heart still hurts so much. Things are just not same without you. I am thankful that you no longer suffer and get frustrated with yourself. I miss you Mama and love you very much.

Hi Wheezie...
I am having alittle trouble with the holidays this year...so many of my loved ones here are not doing too well, health wise, and even more of my loved ones not here for me to lean on(you, mom,and some of my really good friends and most of all Elden) I wish I could call you to just talk to you...you always made me feel better this time of year. Tell mom to keep an eye on Barbie, she is now a diabetic and will start on pills for now. Aunt Betty is not doing too well either and she will be joining you and mom real soon...hope you and mom will help her crossover. I can't help wondering what God has planned for me down here....what ever it is I hope I can make HIM proud..love to you and tell mom I love her and tell Elden I miss him soooo much,give him a hug for me. bye for now....lots of love

Hi Mama
Happy Birthday Mama. Hard to believe you would have been 92. Went to the cemetary and put flowers on. Your stone is crooked and sunken in. I called them this morning and they are going to fix it. Looks like you had a party and shook up the ground. Wouldn't surprise me! Thanksgiving wasn't the same without you. I miss you and love you very much

Hi Mama,

My sister & I both had bad days yesterday. We seem to be on the same wave length. We miss you so much. I wish I was looking forward to the holidays coming up but I am not. If it wasn't for the kids I wouldn't care at all. Caroline and I are going to Firestone Church on Sunday. They are having a Memorial Service for all the members who have passed away. We are going to light a candle in your memory. Hope you can see it. I love you and miss you so much. Talk to ya later Mama.

Hi Mommy, it's Wed. I enjoyed the rain on Tue. I know it a gift from you because you know how much I LOVE rain. Can you help me find the words or what to do to comfort Ruth she is hurting so much & it hurts me not knowing what to do. Cindi is going back to GA. on Sat. I'm going to Ruth's to spend some time with her because I know Cindi going back will be pain full. Dick & Ruth were married 54 years. She is so lost. Help me, I miss & love you. I love hearing your voice on the voice mail my sis sent me. Isn't she the BEST!!

Hi Mama
Thank you for sending me your signs (the scent, the flashing angel and your light turning off), but three in a matter of a few hours was a bit scary (but SO you)(then a few days latter 2 more?). It is hard to believe you have been gone 3 months. I still miss you so much. i am so glad I saved a few voice mails on my phone, I play them a lot. I love hearing your voice. Sure wish I could hug you. Kiss Daddy for me and send some signs to my sister, she really needs you. I love you and miss you. Talk to ya later Mama

Hi Wheezie.....sorry you have not heard from me lately. Teddy was in the hospital for 23 days and then went to a healthcare center for another16 days...while I was running back and forth for her, Betty Ann (niece) was in the hospital (ovarian cancer) and had a complete historectomy...then Paige ended up in the hospital in Columbus...she has some sort of blood disorder....ended up with blood clots in both legs and a clot in her lung....we needed everyone UP THERE to talk to the BIG BOSS...she is way to young for all these health problems...

I slowed down long enough to get bronchitis and have been down with it for two weeks now....Teddy, Betty, and Paige are all out of the hospital now....thank you GOD....

I just wanted you to know that you are and always will be in my heart and on my mind....tell mom that if she had her old phone number I could call her...I still remember it after 44yrs.....and yours too, the number from Ford Ave....

I will try to do better about checking in with you....lots of love...Carolyn

Hi Mommy, it's hot here in CA. hows 113 sound? Ken golfed Tue. the first time without his brother in 20 years. I know he misses him but just doesn't say much. Talked to my beautiful Amanda & Pam, one was going to school the other was working. Pam has a new building to work in, has her own office! Love & miss you. Your oldest daughter, Donna

Hi Mama,
10 weeks today since you have been gone. Still miss you so very much. I wrap myself up in your purple robe and cover up with your "House of Representatives" blanket that Betty Sutton gave you. Jim & I went to Mrytle Beach and my cell phone was so silent. I miss you calling me. Talk to ya later Mama. I love you

September 20, 2010

Hi Mommy, today is Monday, this was a hard week end. I was to sick to go to Amanda's B-D party Sat. Ken golfed with Dick Tue & said he didn't look good, Ruth said they had a nice Sat. that evening Dick took a nap on the sofa & Ruth found him dead. He didn't make a sound he just closed his eyes & pass away. He would have been 80 in Feb. I still don't feel good but feel better that I did this week end. Love You, Donna

September 19, 2010

Mommy, I miss you so much today, I was sick yesterday & slep alot today just seems to be a no where place. I'm going to play your voice message & change the bed & sweep doggie hair. Love you mommy, Donna

Hi Mama,
You have been gone 2 months today. We are all having a hard time with you being gone. It still does not seem real. I keep thinking I can just jump in the car and go see you. I hope you are happy in your new life. Kiss daddy for us. Please know that you are loved and missed so much. Please send Donna some loving thoughts, she needs to feel your arms around her. I miss you. Talk to ya later Mama

September 13, 2010

Hi Mom, last night I really missed you, some days are harder then others. I love hearing from my little sister, I told her that is probably how you felt when you heard from me. Now I wish I had written more often or sent more things or called more, but that is in the past & we can't change the past. I miss you mom, you were in my life for 70 years it's hard knowing I can't hear your voice again. I use to send you cards now I send them to my sis, it makes me feel closer to her. I love you & my little sister. Donna

September 10, 2010

Hi Mom, Cortney gets married today. I'm not to sure I like her getting married. I met Fred, he is nice but there are things like "maybe I just love Cortney to much & I am possive of her" Tell me tell me what to do. Keri & Amanda are both doing good. Amanda will be 17 on Sept 13. Miss you. Love, Donna

Hi Mama
Wanted to say that I miss you so much. Things are getting a little easier for me. I am still having meltdowns but not everyday like I was. I still can't feel you around me, just seems like you were ripped from my life. I wish you could have talked to me that last week. That last week was hard on us all. I love you and miss you. Talk to ya later Mama

Hi Wheezie....
yesterday was a hard day for me...it would have been our 50th anniversary..went to Kathy and Dave's for a cookout...it did make the day pass faster...
there isn't a day I don't think about you....if you see Elden up there,give him a hug for me.

Caris and Donna are both missing you so much...Caris says she can't feel you around her...so give her a really big sign, something she can not question...she did find the letter you left at her house after Marshall passed...I don't think she counts that as a sign from you...I DO..she is such a special lady...just like her mama.
I know that some day God will bring me home too and I know that it will be one BIG get together. as I get older it is easier for me to think about when I will come home...but I know God still has plans for me down here. I hope I do Him proud. Have been blessed with people like you and Aunt Betty to guide me after mom passed. I do miss you and love you. Tell mom I hope to see her someday and I love and miss her...but I know you guys are having a blast. bye for now...

Hi Mama,
Went to Cortney's bridal shower on Saturday. You would have loved it. Rosie and Nichole did a wonderful job and Cort looks so happy. Sure missed your presence, I still can't feel you. I picked up your flowers yesterday, did you hear me talking to you? You have been gone 6 weeks today and I miss you so much. I talked to your nurse Kathy the other day. She has one of your bookmarks in her bible and thinks of you every day. I sent one to Carl and Kathy said that he carries it in his shirt pocket and it is with him at all times. He misses you too. There are so many people that miss you, you made a big impact on a lot of people. Hope you are happy, try not to cause too much trouble up there. Talk to ya later Mama

Hi Mommy, I really miss you today, I want to call & hear your voice or mail you a card or flowers or something. Did they like your monkey night gown?? I thought you would get a kick out of the design. I got a pair of P.J. bottoms with the same print. Nancy & I go to painting class tomorrow. I made peach jam, it is GOOD!!Caroline keeps in contact with me she makes me feel better. She is like a sister to me. I love her a lot. Your oldest daughter, Donna

Hi Mama
Went to the house yesterday. It looks so strange all empty. So many memories there. I stopped by Pleasant View to see your friend Vera, she was very glad to see me and she misses you very much. We both had a good cry session. Also saw Carl, he carries your laminated obituary bookmark in his pocket (he says right next to his heart). He misses you a lot. I still can't get used to the idea that you are really gone. I love you and miss you so much.
Talk to ya later Mama

Hi Mom, it was a nice day, went to breakfast with our neighbors, the art show was small, not very many people came. I miss you, guess it's knowing your gone, I can't call you or send you a card. You were always there now your not.
