When I lost you and Dad, it hurt so much. Losing Courtney is a feeling that I will never overcome. I hope and pray that she is there with you both. She was lost Mom. Courtney, I miss you more and more everyday. This is our first Christmas without you. I think of you everyday and hope that you have found the peace that you were looking for. Savannah and Dylan are doing ok, but they really miss their Mommy. My beautiful girl. You are so very loved. Like you said, we all have angels looking after us. You are my angel. Mom, take care of her for me. I love you all so much. Merry Christmas, To Mom, Dad, Courtney and the rest of my family whom I also miss so very much.

Hi Grandma, It has been a while since we've talked, I miss you and Grandpa and chuck and my Daddy, I am sure you have seen Courtney by now, Grandma she needs you now,Could you Ask Jesus to send an Angel for Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike, I cant imagine there is any greater loss than that of a child. Take care of Courtney now... Could you give My Dad a hug for me? I really miss him! Tell Grandpa and Chuck I love everyone.

Happy Mothers Day Mom: I am wishing you were here so I could say this to you in person. Alot has happened over the past few years that I would love to share with you. Some good, and some not so good. Everyone is holding their own. I miss you and Dad so much. Hoping you and Dad are doing better now and I was wondering, Is Dad the joker there as he was here? I love you both so much.

Hi Momma! I miss you so much. Its 3:00 am and I just finished cleaning up after sitting shiva for Cody.And I need a hug. I am Lighting this candle for Cody and Andrew and I was wondering if you could have a word with Jesus maybe plead our cause? Seriously (2) baby boys in ten years one 3 one 4 that's alot of loss for any one parent to have to deal with.Chuckie is a good guy.Ask Jesus to give him Peace. I know that they are both in a better place by far but that doesn't help Chuckies Pain. Sometimes I think the humidity in Florida lately is to thick that maybe our prayers aren't getting through. So make mention for us. I love You Mom and you to Dad give Cody and Andrew a Hug from me and maybe Dad can teach them some of our favorite songs he tought all of the rest of us. Yeah, Memories are great. I love and miss you both.

Grandma,
Thank you for the gift of love,now you're sharing it up above.You had many things to say.All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.You were always the strength of the family.I know your place in heaven has a good view.Because you're telling God,I need to keep an eye on a few.I know you will always be in our hearts and mind because you truly were one of a kind.
Happy Mother's Day Grandma,I love you & miss you very much
Give Chuck and Grandpa my love and tell them I miss them too.

Grandma and Grandpa, I miss you both so much at times, I hope the memories I hold so dear and the stories of you I share, will live on for generations to come, I hope you hear me when I am remembering all the times we shared, You both were such a big part of my life growing up, going to the CB parties, teaching me how to hunt, sitting with me at the table going over spelling for the test. I miss your voices and your sharp wit, but at times I do remember and hear them just like you were here, then I smile then I cry, I know you are together and without pain and all I can do is hope you are watching over us and visiting in our memories, Every time someone say’s you look just like your grandpa I swallow hard because my heart hurts but I smile and bolster with pride, I hope I will turn out to be half the man, father and husband you were before you left us. Thank you both for the love you both gave me and I will keep both of you in my heart forever.
Love:
Jimmy

Tara and Sam are there. I know you are there watching over her too.. It's funny how things can change.. I have never been good at dealing with change and disappointment but these past few years I have had to deal with alot of it.. I love you Grandma.. I miss our long chats over coffee. You were always there for me and seen me through some off my toughest days growing up. I will forever be greatful to have had such a wonderful Gram.. Tell Poppie I love him and Miss him too!

As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize the meaning of a grandmother's love. How wise she is, how much patience she has, or how much guidance she gives us by her example and by her helpful caring ways. Years go by before we know and understand the depth of her concern and the love in her protectiveness. But as we mature we do finally understand and we can look back and see through older eyes and wiser hearts her unconditional love, devotion, and family loyalty. It's these and many other things that make us realize how lucky we have been to have our Grandmother... Thinking of you Gram and missing you so very much!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Grammy,
I have not written to you a very long time. I have thought of you more then often and miss you so much. Tonight I was checking my old email address it has only been about a month since I checked last and I see an update on your book. I have never received one of those before and I know that it has been updated umpteen times. So I have decided that this is my sign saying it is going to be ok. I know you know what I am talking about but for those who don't, I have moved to Georgia. I miss you Grammy but I know you are here with me watching over me on this journey of mine. Give Poppie a kiss for me I miss him too. Oh how he would love the trout fishing. This is GODS country.

Mom, I wished you a Happy Mother's Day on Mother's Day but I did not write to you like I should have. I think about you every day. I wish you were here. Things are ok in this life, but I still feel this void that I just cannot explain. Please help me to figure out just what it is, like you use to. I love you Mom.

hi Grama.
how are you? wow. i miss you a lot. I'm no good at these things, but i wanted to let you know how important you are to me. i wanted to let you know that you have been in my thoughts lately. I had a dream a couple nights ago. I was standing in front of your old house, just standing there. and you came up to the screen door and told me that you love me. You smiled at me and then went into the house. When i went in to find you. i looked for you and you just appeared out of nowhere and gave me a hug and told me not to worry. i don't know that that meant Grama but it sure did hit me. I miss you. I miss you cooking me roman noodles and me and you and mom watching Dr.Phil. I miss you driving me over to Tara and Cid's house in the morning before school. And i just miss the way you talked and the way you smiled. i really miss how you smelled of the special hairspray you used and those Misty's you used to smoke. You were a beautiful person. And i'm so very sorry it took me so long to write to you. But, better late then never, right?
I love you Grandma.
You will always be important to me.
And you will ALWAYS be in my heart.
With Love,
Your Grand Daughter Kandy

Grama,
I got of bed this morning with you weighing heavy on my mind and my heart. I wanted so much to go to you and sit with you and have coffee and tell you about what's going on in my life you always had a way of making it better.. I miss your advice and your warm heart. I could tell you anything and you were there for me. I miss you so much Grama.. I want you to know that I believe Uncle Barry will be ok.. and he has lot's of love.. Jeremy has not left his side.. It's funny that it's suppose to get easier when you get older, but I dont believe that how can it get easier when you get older you start losing the people that paved your path in life and love you. I am sending you a great big hug and kiss.. I know you will send one back to me.. I love you! OOOO XXXX

Happy New Year Mom
The Hoidays just aren't the same without you. I have made alot of positive changes in my life since you've been gone. It's nice being around my kids again on a daily basis, but nothing compares to the times you and I spent together. I spend aot of time looking at old photos of us. I miss my family in Florida, but I have some good goals going for me up here. 2008 is going to be a much better year, I've learned alot about life and people, and you will be proud when we see each other again. I Love You Mom. Happy New Year, 2008.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and We will hear Our loved ones speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If We are still this promise I make, We will hear the voices of Our loved ones helping us along our way.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Mom, I have thought over the past several months what a strong mark you actually left on my life. I really don't feel like your gone, for some reason. I know that you are not here for me to confide in directly, but I feel you with me every single day. It's so strange. I am so relived that you are not suffering any more. Mom I apoligize for not being there with you like I should have been. The pain, I felt, seeing you like that was just unbearable for me. I'm sorry. That was selfish You were always there for me no matter what. I am so grateful for that. My love for you is deeper than any I have ever know. Your strengh has given me the courage to keep going and keep doing the right things, each and every day. Thank you for my sisters, and my brothers, for they are the bond that keeps life going. Although I am not with them right now, I believe that you are the one thing that has drawn us even closer together. Thank you for that. I know you will be happy to know that I feel like I have found a gentle peace in my life, for a change. Savannah and Dylan are so beautiful, I wish you were here, mortally to enjoy then as much as I do. Kandyce missed you so much, although we have been through alaot of changes since you been away. She is blossoming, mommy, and I feel about her the way you always did me. You will be in my heart and soul every day of the rest of my life. I hope Dad is feeling better now. I love you too Dad. YOur beauty is something I have always been so proud of.
Dad I really miss your bean soup. I hope you have a bown waiting for me when we finally hug again. Watch over our family and keep us safe fromthis cruel world we live in. PEACE, TO YOU BOTH. I LOVE YOU. Merry Christmas, 2006.

Hi, Mama
I Love you so much and miss you even more. Today December 19th,is the 7th year Daddy has been gone,I know you both are together. But it seems so strange with out you. Christmas is so lonley and no matter how hard we try, Marks Christmas lights have fallen down 3 times and I have been to many, many stores to find Angel hair for our traditional tree but, can not find it anywhere. I dont't understand. Things certainly won't be the same this year or for many years to come.
However there was a beautiful rememberance ceremony for You and all of the other people that had passed this year and had ther service at Osceola Memorie Gardens, It was beautiful and we all lit candles for you and Chuck and Daddy and we learnerd about making memories. Your heart felt Chritmas's made the memories for my children and my grandchildren what they are today. That was a lot of love and I can not tell you what that meens to me. I love you and miss you and Daddy so much. I don't have to wish you a Merry Christmas cause I know you're having a Merry everything these days. I miss you BOTH and love you very much.
Love you Momma, Love you Daddy
your Daughter.. Nancy
Love you to Chuck

Grandma,
It seems that even in the end you left behind a lesson, I sit and I think of all the struggles you had endured during your life, the good times and the bad. And thru it all no matter what life handed you, You stayed yourself, One of the strongest most loving women I have ever known and with that you taught all of us ,Val, Tara Marty, Dawn, Chas, Mom and Aunt Nancy all of us,, to stay true to ourselves and to love life and Family, You have given more gifts to us then you will ever know, Give Grandpa a big kiss for me and remind him that every one of us to this day still and always will love the Monkey and the Baboon. I love you grandma and I miss you,, for without you there would be no us..Put a good word in for us with Jesus, he has always seen what a gift you are. That is why he gave you too us. I love you

Grandma it has been two weeks today that we have been without your smiling face. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. I find myself driving by places that I haven't seen in years just so I can feel closer to you. Yesterday, I drove by the old farmhouse that you and Grandmpa use to live in in Avon. I remember when Grandpa use to yell at us Grandkids for jumping around on the haystacks that were in the barn. I also remember taking walks with you, Grandpa and your dog Pepe on Interstate 390 when it was nothing but a dirt road. These are memories that I haven't thought of in years. I am glad that I was able to make it to Florida to attend your services. You have so many people that love you. The only thing that I regret is not being able to say my goodbyes to you, but I know that some day we will meet again. One of the main reasons I love to vacation in Florida is because I get to spend time with my family that I love so much and gosh how I will miss seeing you. I will also miss your world famous salmon loaf. My dad and I always commented on how yours was always the best. Grandma I love you with all of my heart and I will miss you so much, but one thing that keeps me going is the fact that you are now with Grandpa again and that I will always have you watching over me. I love you always..............

I will never forget the days, that you went out of your way to care for me.. and those days when I was a teenager were some of the hardest days of my life and I could of never gotten through them with out you. I have been blessed to have you and will miss you so very much... I will miss our days of coffee and silly chatter and your sense of humor. You have always put everyone first Grama.. I could only hope to be half the women you were. I know you are at peace and dancing in heaven with poppy until I see you again Gram... I love you more...

What a strong beautiful women. Skin as soft as velvet, you have amazed me and taught me more these last few months then you know. I thank you Gram, I thank you for your sweetness, your sense of humor even in these last few weeks. Your unbelievable strength, I am astounded by your strength & courage and only hope I have an ounce of that in me.
Oh dear, how we will miss your da de da’s when you didn’t know the word to a song. Your famous fruit salad, baked beans, & sweet potatoes, the spaghetti dinners when you could. Your continues advise on taking care of our skin; your sarcasm and honesty. Most of all I will miss giving you a hug & kiss and saying “Bye seeya soon”.
Today I am giving you a hug & a kiss and I am saying Bye I will see you again.
I love you but best of all I know you love me.
Thank You Gram

Sweet smile on your face as you sleep the pain away,
Resting in God's arms now,
He needed another angel in the Heavenly choir and that's why you had to go.
As you promised, you are still with us watching your children here below.
I never would have imagined the end would be like this, me comforting you.
Holding your hand, telling you not to worry was not an easy thing for me to do.
And even in your weakest hour you tried to comfort me too,
saying you’d be ok, and calming my soul as only a mother can soothe.
You have always been there through the thick and the thin
No matter what I've done, unconditionally your love never wavering.
When I told you of the mistakes I made and all the times people saw me fall
You simply nodded and gently replied 'so have we all'.
The key to success is learning from the past
Ensuring a brighter future is now the present task.
A pillar of strength even until the end
Fighting all life's battles, knowing, triumphantly you would win
Pushing me to be the best that you know I can be
Reminding me to keep the faith and allow God to lead me.
Knowing it's through Christ that I can do all things
And as He never makes a mistake I will come through victoriously.
I miss you more than these words could ever say
The pain in my heart is from one unimaginable day
After I cried all that I could; my eyes still shed countless more tears
And when I try to sleep, I have nightmares of ten-thousand fears
I walk in footsteps on an unsure path
My load feels so heavy I am not sure I will last.
Silly; though I may be, I am afraid of life now that you're gone
Because I've always had a mother.
And Mommy, what about my sisters and brothers.
I wish you could have stayed just a little while longer, there's so much left to do
I wonder if I prayed hard enough and if so, did they get through.
Finding relief in knowing I will see you again someday soon
Remembering all you taught me as my soul I continue to groom
I will walk in footsteps you have walked before me
Seeing the path you walked lead you, Mommy, straight into victory.
So as you sleep Mommy, in the cradle of the Lord,
I am reassured of God's promises in His Holy Word.
I dream of the day when Heaven's gates open to receive me
And with your smiling face and loving eyes, reunited once again I will be.
I love you Mom and I will miss you so

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
