My heart is aching. Today I'm missing my mom extra extra. My heart feels heavy and full of sadness. I asked God to give my mom a hug for me today and to make sure she always knows I'm thinking of her always and forever. Sometimes mom visits me in my dreams but it's always such a short visit and I never actually get my hug. I guess it's because God keeps her busy being guardian angel to my sister's and I and the grandkids and great grandkids too. Someday I'll get that hug, until then I'll just keep feeling it in my heart. I love you momma.

Ohhh Mom... wow this birthday would´ve made you 85!! I can´t imagine what that would´ve been like! I´m glad for the good memories I have of you when your days were happy and full of new discoveries! Life after years of sadness and what must surely have been depression, to find your voice and rediscover yourself! Thank you for being strong and saving yourself...and then saving me after all, thanks in part to Frank who ultimately was happy to help you enjoy some happiness and showed you a bigger world! You did have a good life! Happy 85th birthday!

Missing my mom so very much. Thank you Mom for teaching me your kind hearted ways. You always had such great tolerance seemingly very nearly never being mad about anything. Just always trying to be happy and smiling.
With love, L.

Another Mothers Day Mom! Reflecting on your Mother´s Days days of past. How bleak I think they were, how you must´ve of been in postpartum for most of our young years. You always seemed so sad! I do have that funny memory of you walking into the kitchen while I was eating cereal, I fully knew you were there and you looked at me and said BOO! And my bowl flew and milk was all over my face. And we laughed!!! I think I might´ve been like 9. That was a funny moment. I wish you could´ve met your Greatgrand Kaiden he´s a blast so smart and funny AND exhausting. Miss you so much and tho I know you had many good years with us later in life I do wish I had more memories of you happy and smiling in our young days! Love you always

Hey Momma! Idky but Dillon has started calling me Momma. It was natural the first time he did it just recently for him and for me to hear but then it was like wait where did that come from? But I didn´t say anything to him least I scare him off it. I can´t remember when I stopped calling you Momma and started calling you Mom... oh man what a weekend it´s Kaidens 2nd birthday (March 1) do we had a Friday family Chuck E Cheeses night, he was on overload! Then yesterday they had a kiddie party at My Gym where K goes on Fridays and he was the King for 2 hours. Oh you would love your great grandson he´s quite something! Miss you Mom I thank you for all the good you taught me and for how much you loved life and making connections with people you didn´t even know!

Good morning Momma...finally got you up to Reno with Lyssa & LE! You´re reunited with Frank this birthday...and back home in Reno where there were many happy memories. I had a great time with my lil sister. We went by the old house and the neighborhood looks real nice. We miss you so and always wish you could´ve stayed with us longer. I love you dearly and miss you so much!

Thinking of mom today and always. Happy birthday to my mom in heaven above.
I wish you were here so that we could celebrate you on this day. I miss you so very much. I wonder what special things you would like to be doing this day if we were all together to celebrate. Maybe just a nice afternoon on the patio, soaking up a little sun and a little bbq and some of your yummy potato salad that we all know how to make, thanks to you mom. I wish I could give you a big hug right now.
With all my love, LisaLyssa
P.S. thanks for teaching me and excepting me, and allowing me to be me, always.

It's 3:03am 9/12/2021. Today is mom's birthday. Of course it would be such the better day for us all if mom were here to let us celebrate her bday with her. There would be gifts and greeting cards, maybe a little cake and some dairy free ice cream. Maybe a movie, maybe some pool time with her friends, Lois and Judy and Bee, perhaps. Maybe both of my sisters along with myself. There would be laughter and fun with everyone just hanging out to celebrate mom, aka Susie. No, not a party, just good times with some friends and family. Because it would be amazing to have time together and have my mom know how much she's loved, on her birthday and everyday.
Mom, I wish you were here so I could tell you, I love you and I miss you and I could hug you and say, Happy Birthday mommie.

mom,
In two days I will hear you in my head telling me the story of the day I was born. I just wish I could hear your voice daily for real. I am thankful for voice mail. There I really do get to hear your sweat voice. I love you very much. I know you and Frank are together in Heaven because you both often visit me in my dreams, but it's always such a short visit. I guess God keeps you busy in Heaven watching over loved ones and guiding us and keeping us strong daily. OOOOOxxxxx

Susis, you have been gone from here for a long time now. Doesn't seem possible it was so many years ago we went to the West side get together in Long Beach. You couldn't drive so I came and picked you up as you had recently had cataract surgery. Miss you my friend. See you agan someday.

Mom I wrote the longest letter to you but I think I deleted it I'm sure you would laugh. If it doesn't show up just know we all love you and miss you. And besides I'm off a day. I always think you passed on the 3rd but I think it was the 2nd! Oh guess what the astronomists have changed the zodiac signs they discovered something new out there in space so now there are supposedly 13 signs. You would now be a Leo! The Lion (Lyon) I'm now a dreaded Pieces. I don't care I'm a true Aeries and you were pretty definite a true Virgo right!! Sillyness! They did that some years ago but I don't think anyone pays attention! Love you mom.

PS this is the last time we were all together at Christmas. Love you!

Always wishing mom was still here. She would be so happy and proud of her grandkids for their accomplishments and how far they have come. As far as for my sister's and I, not much has changed but of course she would always be proud of us for every good thing we do each and every day.

Thinking of my mom today extra, extra, extra, thoughts. My heart has that ache that is more so than the usual daily ache of not being able to speak with my sweet mommie and daily thoughts of missing her. Today is one of the days that are just extra sad, as there is no escaping the thoughts of not being able to call mom and say I Love You and Happy Birthday.
I love you mom,
always and forever.

It's mother's day and so of course it's hard to pass the greeting card isle leading up to this day knowing that I cannot actually send my mom a card. I still feel like oh, I'm gonna pick my mom a nice card, and poof, that thought is quickly overwritten with the sad heavy sigh of reality. Although I cannot actually drop a card in the mail, it does not stop me from expressing a greeting for my mom today. I love you Mom, I miss you and I pray that God blesses all the moms in Heaven with some beautiful flowers with all of the names of the loving children on the cards who are all missing their moms in Heaven this day.

Valentines Day 2018.
I remember when we were kids and Frank use to get mom the big See's Heart candy box and then the lil hearts for us girls. It was never a real big romantic day for mom and Frank but we could all, always count on that Candy :-)
Good old Days. Life was good then on Pontine Ave in Carson California with the park as our backyard. Yep, life was good. Missing my mom and Step Dad today. Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven.
Remembering my parents Always, this day and everyday.

Giving Thanks This Day.

On Thanksgiving I am thinking of my mommie, with warm warm thoughts and loving memories. I give thanks this day for all that she bestowed upon me in her years of looking over me and teaching me. My life is good and well and fine. I have her to thank for many aspects of my life and my sense of being.
Happy Thanksgiving to my mom in Heaven.
with Love.

Another Birthday without you Mom! But I did have a birthday dinner at La Capilla for you tonight, with my two good friends Stacie and Jeanette. They love you because they love me and they've been great friends. And now Jeanette is going to be family! She's the mom to Cody's Fiance'! That's right Mammy your baby Cody is getting married. And your baby girl Chey is now a Fergerstrom! She married him, that boy I first told you of when I returned from dropping her to college. The wedding was perfect and Auntie Lyssa Danced!! We all missed you and hope you're loving your afterlife!! I assume you're still on that train through time I last saw you boarding 4 years ago!
Missing you terribly Mom miss miss miss you....I love you!

September 12, 2017

Today is a day I will always celebrate. I love my mom and I celebrate her today just as I always have. I feel my mom with me everyday and in the choices I make. It is so very hard for me to drive past or walk on by someone who appears to be in need of some little thing that I might be able to offer as help for them even if it is my last dollar in my pocket. My mom raised me well, to have a good heart and to care. It's the right way and I know mom is watching me from heaven above. I'm thankful for that comfort knowing that she is with God and God has her watching over my sisters and I and our families.
Happy Birthday to my mommie in heaven. Although I'm pretty sure mom was never too thrilled to celebrate birthdays. That part of her has certainly rubbed off on me as well. For birthdays are not my favorite day of the year. From the time I was a child I knew that if I got another year older than so would my mom. I wanted to hold off those years as long as possible knowing that I would struggle hard when the time came that mom would no longer be right here with me. Well Mom ... I'm doing ok ....................
most of the time.

Thinking of mommie today and always. It's mother's day and I will never stop celebrating my mom. I love u mommie.

The years just keep flying by. It is hard to believe it has been four years since mom passed on. Sometimes it's seems it was just days ago and yet most often it just feels like way too long ago. For as the days pass by that I cannot pick up the phone and call her makes it seem like Forever ago that I have heard her voice as a part of my everyday life. Not being able to speak to her makes the days pass painfully slow at times. All the while, feeling myself grow older and seeing how fast her grandchildren have grown since she passed alerts me to how time is fleeting. Bitter sweet to say. We will all be together again someday ...

March 3, 2017

Hi Momma lil momma! 4 years come and gone. We will be missing you and Peggy both as we get into our time of celebrating Cheys upcoming wedding with her shower this month! I know you would be so proud of her and excited for this wedding you will miss! We will be remembering you through it all.
Your grandson also just got engaged! Very exciting times here...life goes on.
Love you always mom and hoping that you enjoyed your time here with us! Love n. Kisses enjoy your wings.

Thinking of my mom so much today and then my sister reminded me that it is the date of my stepdads birthday. Now I'm missing them both extra today.

November 22, 2016

Thanks giving is near and soon it will be Christmas. Of course the Holidays are not the same without you close to us but I still feel your presence near Always. So once again on the day of thanks I will say
"I am thankful for my mom having taught me all of her kind caring and thoughtful ways and also for teaching me how to make potato salad and deviled eggs". I love you mommie.
Always and forever. Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven.

Today is Mother's Day 2016
Like any other day, I am thinking of my mom
and so even though my thoughts of mom are a constant, today "Mother's Day" is just a lil harder to get through knowing that I cannot call her and tell her thanks for being the best mom ever. Thanks for loving me and always making me feel so very loved. Thank you for excepting me and allowing me to be "ME" and not some preconceived notion of who she "EXPECTED" me to be and for never being disappointed or embarrassed by who or what I grew up to be. For ALWAYS Loving Me and ALWAYS being proud of me and for teaching me always. Teaching me to be proud, loving and caring. Thanks for being a perfect example of a Beautiful Woman inside and Out. I love You Mommie Always and Forever.

April 16, 2016

Mom,
Today is April 16, 2016.
Today is a good day. I am about to send a bday greeting to my sister but I had to stop and have a moment of thought and prayer for my mom. Love and prayers Always.

Spring is here once again. As always, Springtime reminds of mom ALWAYS and FOREVER! She had a green thumb that's for sure. I remember mom was always to be found out back working in the yard. Her yard was a never ending project. She had visions of what a yard should look like. I wish she would reach down from heaven and touch her green thumb to my yard, both front and back but especially the front. She would be so displeased with me if she set eyes on my desert dirt front yard.
Awh spring is in the air and sometimes I think I can smell my moms scent blowing past in a calm spring breeze.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I miss you mommie! Always and forever but thank God I have pleasant memories of our time together.

September 12, 2015

Birthdays have never been my favorite day of the year. I'm pretty sure that mom felt the same. I remember crying on my 4th birthday and telling mom I didn't want to have a birthday because if I got older then she would get older too and I didn't want my mommie to get older. I'm guessing mom had already put that in my head, how else could a 4yr old have that thought? Well darn mom, we couldn't stop those damn birthdays and you got older and I got older and now here I am getting on getting older without you. My biggest fear as it had always been. But thankfully I carry your strength with me throughout my days. Having had you to guide me and teach me and laugh with me have been the greatest gifts of all, well other than my life. So today I celebrate your birthday for you. We all know life is a blessing and I have been so blessed to have you as my mom. I miss you, I love you. God bless your soul and I pray that you are watching over me and with God's help, you guide me, Always and Forever!

I wish I had more pictures, always jut the same ones! Pretty sure you would have been miserable this birthday with all this heat uhg! I know you hated the heat! For your birthday you probably would've liked so Peach pie, Fresh peach if possible,topped with some of that Breyers lactaid ice cream! We maybe would've rented a movie to watch I'm thinking Pitch Perfect 2, or maybe Hot Pursuit! And you would've loved a visit from all your little great grands...theres 4 of them! And yet after all you're having the best birthday of all, in joy and peace and maybe even dancing! Love you dearly Momma, miss you always

July 30, 2015

thinking of my mom as always I am. Mommie I love you. Everyone misses you. I wish I could hear your voice and touch you, hug you, kiss your cheek and hold your hand, watch TV with you, laugh with you and have dinner with you, go for a drive with you, watch fireworks with you and hang out with auntie Lois and JuD with you. Make you laugh, sit out by the pool, talk and just listen to you. Pretty much I just miss everything about you and I just want want want it all back. I love you ALWAYS I Miss you MUCH!

Susie,went to CA to see my
Newest great granddaughter. she is beautiful. I talked to Lyssalisa last week. It was good to hear her voice. Miss you.

July 1, 2015

thinking of my mom today as usual. The feeling I imagine will never go away, that feeling of how "oh I'm gonna call mom and tell her" ... today maybe was just to tell her about all the flooding in Reno and Sparks last night and how at my house we barely got a trickle of any rain at all. No matter how important or non-important, I always want to share with my mom. I love my mommie, ALWAYS AND FOREVER! <3

June 6, 2015

It will never matter how old I am, when I am sick, the first words that come to mind are,
"I want my mommie" :-( With a tender touch my mom could always make it better. I love you mommie.

May 28, 2015

Miss you Susie. Things are pretty much the same. Amanda had a baby girl on the 20th of May. That is Debbe's 58th birthday. Her name is Jayden Dawn Noel Hughes. Myles is a little jealous. Love you and miss you. Miss your laugh.

May 10, 2015

it's mother's day. I miss my mom so very much. I can't send her a card, I can't give her a phone call, so I'll just take this moment here to say ... It's mother's day and mommie I am thinking of you today and always. I love you ... Forever, it will never fade.

March 22, 2015

spring is here mom. The best time of the year. Yayy time to work in the yard. I was recalling how the yard looked at Franks house when we first moved in there. It was quite the shambles, Right? I was telling Elisabeth how you worked out there everyday and how you really beautified it. You had such a green thumb. It was amazing how hard you worked at that endlessly to continue having that great yard that we all loved so much. I remeber putting my speakers in my bedroom window and going out to the yard to enjoy the sunshine and all the beauty of the days of Spring and Summer. Better Homes and Gardens would have loved to have you and all your ideas. But thanks for doing all that for our home. I love you always. Spring has sprung so of course it reminds me of you. Thinking of you always, I love you.

Birthdays are such the better occasion to remember. The date of when someone special ever came to be, is such the better celebration. March 2nd is a date not high on my list of "events" to remember. As the minutes and the hours ticked on yesterday, something was weighing heavy on my heart and in my mind. I searched all of my contacts to see who's birthday I was missing. Sad to say, twas not a birthday at all that my subconscious mind was trying to recall. Not at all. As my work day ended and my evening began, I was thankful that I had not read the text msg that Carla had sent me earlier. Had I seen the msg earlier I likely would not have breezed through my day as I did. Mondays are already hard enough to face without having to recall the day my mommie went up to heaven. Not a favorite day of mine at all, nor for my sisters and also moms close friends I'm sure. I think it's something I still have not totally come to believe. I still feel she is here and although I cannot talk to her on the phone nor can I go visit her, my head and my heart tell me she is still here. I love you mommie. I feel you near. I don't struggle through my days without you until I am forced to see that flash of reality ... which ... nope ... no ... no ... not gonna say it. I guess I just can't face it. Your here with me and that's what gets me through. (PERIOD)

March 2, 2015

Good morning Mom! I'm here. So hard to believe it's been 2 years! It still feels so fresh and have yet to shake the fact that you are just not here. I have never been the same. I heard you the other day, I couldn't remember something and I literally heard you giving me the answer! It pains me to think of all you endured to get through those last days in the end.Yet you were so joyful as you knew without a doubt God loved you and you were going to heaven! I love you Momma, life has been good and lessons you taught are part of the reason! Thank you for everything you ever did for me, I know you know I appreciated you and I know you loved me dearly too!

Halloween is coming ... our most favorite time of the year in my house. I don't know if it was moms "favorite" time of the year but I do remember she could totally get into the spirit of the day of fun costumes and candy, of course the candy, being a chocolate fan. But ya mom could make anytime of the year special and fun. Missing mommie, today and ALWAYS. Happy trick-or-treat mommie. I love you. (hope there's internet in heaven) ;-)

September 13, 2014

it's one minute til midnite. Mom don't think for one moment that I have forgotten you and your birthday today. I have thought about you nearly every minute of this day. I do think of you ALWAYS and so many days a week still that I wish I could call you. I have nothing new to say but most often I just want to tell you EVERYTHING! I love you mommie.

Flowers for our Mommie on her special day. We love you ALWAYS

Things prob just got a lot funnier up there recently what with Robin Williams and Joan Rivers there now!! You were always one to connect with celebs so be on the look out! I know you already have Phylis so things must be a hoot!! Glad you're out of pain Mom, hope you're dancing! I so look forward to dancing again someday too!!

Thinking of my mommie endlessly! Two nights ago I had one of those dreams, I got to see mom hold her and hug her, BIG long hugs, as I asked her where has she been and why did she stay away so long and telling her don't ever stay away that long ever again, I can't handle it. She told me she went to Scotland and some other places and that she has just been traveling around. We were so happy to see each other and have hugs and laughs.
I miss you mommie Always!!!! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.

Everyday should be Mother's day!
I love my mommie, yesterday, today and ALWAYS! I hope there are Flowers in heaven. If roses grow in heaven, Lord, pick a bunch for me; place them in my mothers arms and tell her they're from me; Tell her that I love her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile; because remembering her is easy; I do it everyday. There's an ache within my heart that will never go......... away. In memory of my Mother...

I saw this on the internet and it is just so perfect I wanted God to see it for mom n me.

Today I attended a memorial service for my friends son who lost his life due to a motorcycle accident. Losing a parent is so sad and hard enough but I knw mommie you would agree no parent should have to suffer the loss of their child. It has been an emotional day. I feel so sad for my friend who lost his son. When you sit in a service like that it makes you want to hug your loved ones. Though I can not get hugs from you mommie I feel especially close to you today. I love you always and I will forever need your strength and guidance.

A day never goes by without thinking of Susie. I find myself wanting to call her to tell her about the latest scandal. I have come across a lot of pictures when we ditched school and went to the mountains. Yep, we were naughty...but fun. We laughed a lot when we were together. I love you Susie Q.

March 4, 2014

it's been hard surviving this past year from March 2nd, 2013 to March 2nd,2014 without my mommie near. I doubt it gets any easier. But, I'm sure my mommie is watching over me and guiding me and with Gods helping hand, she keeps me strong. Right Mommie? I love you. I know you still help me to make good choices each and everyday and yes I feel your presence. I just wish I could feel your hugs.

dillon/chey/cody winter break 2013 Love you Mammy!

March 2, 2014

dear Momma,
it is hard to believe it has been a year! Your presence is still here in this room, so clearly as if it were just today. There's so much in this year I've thought oh man Mom would have loved this movie/news/tv show or hollywood gossip! But then you would've hated some of the weather, some of the news and the way some of your shows ended up. Just finished Season 4 Downton Abbey and it would have kept you wanting more, I only ever started watching on your last day with you and I have been hooked ever since I think of you every episode and have little conversations with you as I watch since no one here ever watches with me so it's just me n you! I am having health issues this last few weeks and thats when I miss you most as I told Lyssa if you were here you would be breaking out your voodoo aromatherapy bottles on me! But more than that you would be doting and being mom even tho I'm 54 I would feel like 4! Especially big news you would have been engaged by was Cheyennes big chicken pox she got on her 21st birthday! They were really bad the dr. put her on quarantine she couldn't go to the cafeteria to eat! I had to fly back to keep her in a hotel for 5 days. I mommied her up and headed back home....where Dillon had 100 temp and said "welcome home mom...sorry". And oh man you would have been a great gramma AGAIN Adam had another baby! Allana! She almost arrived on your birthday but came a couple of days early. All the great grand kids seem to be doing good. I hope you're dancing in heaven Mom and have lots of friends, I know you're a big helper so I'm sure you're busy helping. I look at this picture and it's one of my favorites I hope you don't mind I never knew you didn't like it till those last few days when you curled up you lip and told me you didn't like your hair and that you had cut it yourself. I think it's really cute, you were a beauty mom I do love you and miss you dearly!

Momma we called you Momma always I w o under when that stopped... I called you this morning waking I said momma... I think of you every day I always have things to ask you like how should I arrange my living room to fit a tree this year. That's your favourite, moving furniture! It still makes me sad that you suffered in just about every way you ever feared and truly through it all you were such a trooper,your declaration after two weeks of waiting that indeed you had received your validation and that God had forgiven you so hindered you would be allowed into heaven that moment will always be imbedded on my heart you were soon joyful and happy and you couldn't wait. After all your pain I was so relieved when at last you left you went so peacefully. You were so beautiful mom I love you dearly and miss you much.

Today is my moms would be birthday, September 12. I am missing my mom still so VERY Much. My heart aches. She was always the one person I could ALWAYS talk to about Anything and Everything. Just about everyday there is something in my mind that I think for a brief moment ..."oh I'm gonna call mom and tell her" ... and then I come to my senses and the sad reality that my mom is not just a phone call away :_(
