My Dear Sweet Bby Girl Jackie...We went to see you on October 31st. It has been a year since you left us to be with the Angels. I think about you everyday and miss you so much. I still hear your laughter and feel your prescence everywhere. You were such an important part of my life and I find myself talking to you as if you were here. I am sure it will always be that way for we share so much in common. I am always saying to Mary and Michael..Mom would like that. Life will never be the same. Until we meet again.

Happy Mother's Day mom
What I have today is your heart, I captured it before you made your way to heaven! And it's all I wanted and needed to get me through the rest of my journey on earth. I love you more each day and will never feel sadness on days like today. It will be your day every year to come and I'm happy I can still celebrate too!
There you are Shining as Always...

Mother's Day...
As the sun set tonight my heart grew weary.
It is the dark of the sky that is with out light.
Flooded with memories of mom, crying, laughing, yelling....
Such a grand presence of Love and vulnerability .
How will I ever know a mothers love so true?
Mom I've been your only daughter, I've lost my way....
The void is vast, leaving me swimming in the deepest blues.
Comforted by other mothers that dry my tears.
I look into their eyes for just a sign ...
Of my mom finding her way back to me.
MB...my moms daughter.
Happy Mothers Day ...may you cherish the moments that matter.

Happy New Year Meme...as the sun rises and sets each day, I think of you. Everyday began with you, a phone call, a lunch, movie or just driving around wondering what to do? What is certain was the joy you felt being with your kids. Getting out and about, you really had a zest for life. We miss you so much and like my brother said we feel your presence each day and for ever in our Hearts. Always your daughter MaryBell
We love you!

Hi mom! The new year came and just sad still. Everyday I miss you more and can't feel things getting better without you! In time I'm told, just hasn't begun. There are moments in my life when it's ok to smile and laugh, and I know that's what you want for all of us. Just need to still tell you that I love you and I know you hear me. I feel your soul and smell your presence daily at home, though things look like you never left! I know that God is taking care of you now and that gives me a lot of comfort. Shine on and I will see you in the stars every night. Michael Paul

Hey Beautiful...I had a dream last night about you. We were at the Shakira concert in San Jose. Remember when Mary Bell and I took you? You sat in the middle . Mary Bell and I on each side of you. Oh my..What a good time. You were on your feet and dancing. Then when she sang in French you cried and told us how beautiful the words were and that it reminded you of your family. You were so happy to be with us and we were so very proud to have you as our date. You were so beautiful all dressed up. We always were so happy to have you with us. I miss you,Jackie. Especially right now. The Menorah is lit for it is the 2nd day of Chanukah. I remember how you always had yours for the Holiday. I find myself thinking of you everyday and wishing that I could hold your hand and kiss you and tell you that I love you over and over. I miss your voice,your sweet kind words and your everlasting love. I know your watching over us and when I see the brightest Star in the sky. I say to myself. There she is ....Our Lucky Star. Thank you so much for loving me. I love you and miss you so much. Until we meet again.
