Dear Joy , Brittany and I were just talking about you last nite and going through a bunch of cards you had given her over the years and so many pictures of the 2 of you.
You showed up for everything she was involved with,I know Brittany misses you much more then she talks about it I think she still cant really believe it.Then I got this message about your Questbook and felt it was a sign to let you know we still think of you, pray for you and miss you very much.

Dear Mummy,
As I sit here this morning wishing we were sharimg a cup of coffee over the telephone and the latest news. I can't help but miss you more. I found this site and read what wonderful things people wrote about you. I had been blessed by a mother who loved her children unconditionally. No matter what we did you were always there. I thank God that he allowed me to hold you in your time of need. What I wouldn't give to hold you again. Thank you for always giving us the things that we needed and sometimes the things we wanted. The strentgh to be independent...
Love you for always,
Rosemary

Dear Deb and Robin,
So sorry for the loss of your dear mom. There is nothing I can say to make it better. I was in your shoes last year when I lost my mom to cancer on Christmas. Stay strong and know that she will be watching over you.

dear Joy, words cannot express, the sadness i have felt , since your untimely death.I wish i could have spent more time with you, but in a way, im glad, i didnt see you, sick, i remember, the last time you came in the diner, and we shared a coffee, and talked about, how time had flew, and Brittany was ready for her graduation. I cannot begin to thank you, for always bieng there, not just for Brittany, but myself as well.i want you to know, you will always have a special place in my heart, and Britanys as well.They say time heals all wounds, but I have to say, this will take a long time, in my heart, for the sadness to pass.I will be visting you, very often, seeing , you will be with my dad.I want to give my condolences to your children and grandchildren.I also want to give praise, to Robin, and Rose, for taking such good care of you, and allowing you to be able to stay in your home, where you always told me, you would want to be, if you ever were to get sick.Also to Patrick,for traveling back and forth, from Fort Bragg, to be with you whenever he could. Knowing these things, brought me comfort, as I wish , I could have done the same for my dad.I know, you are in the arms of the angels, and i pray, you will find your comfort there. I will never forget you, and the love you showed Brittany over the last 19 years.To say thank you, doesnt seem enough, it seems honestly, very little.I promise you, every holiday, every birthday, ill be there to visit you, and ill be there, just to say hello.I will never forget you.It is with great sadness I say goodbye. My sincere sympathy, also goes out to all of your grandchildren, who loved you dearly.You were very lucky, to have such wonderfull grandchildren.I know they loved you dearly.Watch over them, and your children,for their love , is neverending.I will miss you, and never forget you.Rest easy,and know your memories, will get us all through this most difficult time.I will miss your special hambuger dinner, with mashed potatoes, green beans, and beets, and a special gravey, that went over the hamburg and potatoes, that to this day, I cant figure out! We will meet again soon,and share a sundae, with maple walnut ice cream,until then,I will always keep you, close to my heart. Love , Marlene xoxoxoxo
