Hi Mom! It's been just over a year since I wrote but you are always in my thoughts and heart. My grandchildren are all getting to be young adults. They are 21-6 now. 2 in elementary school, 2 in middle school, and Athena, your first great-granddaughter, will be a senior in high school. Braxlee is the still shorter than me, but I'm sure not for long! I started working at Reams which is sorta like a Ma and Pa grocery store. After 6 weeks, I became one of the night managers with all the keys, codes, and responsibilities. Heading in early now actually. I hope you and your family and friends are enjoying your time together in Heaven. Thank you for watching over everyone of us! Especially Patrick. I miss you daily and love you LOTS! Love your loving first born,
Patrick

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 10 yrs since I last wrote on here & the 19th yr since you've been gone. I no, I'm FIRED, lol. Ulti's mom passed away 3 yrs ago & Ulti 2 yrs ago, it was a shook to all of us growing up together. Well not much going on here, still not working a job, by choice. I bought a laser machine last year & started Dino's Crafts. Last Christmas I started making/selling cutting boards, keychains & ornaments. I only sell on the weekends now, but I was selling twice a week at the farmers market also. I had my 3rd left knee surgery back in February & just had my 2nd follow-up appointment today. Still hurts & my next appointment is in September to go over my options. In 2 weeks I'll be taking a mini vacation to Las Vegas & then the month of August I'll be in the Philippines. That's all for now, continue watching over us & say "Hi" to everyone for me. Till next time (less than 10yrs, lol) I love & miss you.

Hi Mom! I can't believe it has been a year since last I wrote on here last. You are always in my prayers as are all who have passed through the veil. My lil Monty also left this earth this past May and I miss him so much! Didn't realize what an impact he had on my life and heart, till he was gone. My family is doing well, as am I. We are going on another baseball trip, for my birthday of course. Alan and his family and I, are going to AZ this time and Patrick will be going too, driving himself of course. Thank you for always watching over us all. I miss you! Love always, your loving first born!

House still under construction as they say, but I'm going as fast as I can! :) My health is better, but getting older and body's starting to complain! I can handle that!!! Thanks for always watching over every one. Love you lots, your loving first born, Doreen

Hi Mom, Merry Christmas! Yeah it is a few days late, but I have been under the weather and haven't even gotten on the computer in about 2 weeks, so sorry. I hope you and the family were able to watch from above and see everyone enjoying themselves. I know Shawn and Danielle missed their mom terribly, this being the first Christmas without her and her loving this holiday. I made a Festival of Tree's tree fo her and it sold for more than any other tree I have made so far! It was adorable!!! I miss you and know everyone else does too. Say HI to all, and give them all huggs for me too! :) I'll love and miss you always, your loving first born,

Hi Mom,Yep, I am late once again!!! I thought about writing on here all day Sunday and it just slipped my Chemo brain. I see that Pat once again got you some more flowers! Beautiful! Well Nick is safe and sound and back home after being gone 11 months over in Afhanistan. Amanda is home as well and I would LOVE to have my home back all by myself! June FIRST is the date! My health is doing well and I am a THIRD grade teacher once again starting in August. COOL huh?!!! Alan is a Nurse now and continuing his education so he will get his Master's in Nursing as well. I be so PROUD! Well, I think Amanda has been in here because my keyboard is acting up when just last night it was working fine! Miss you and LOVE you LOTS! Your loving first born,

Happy New Year Mom! WOW!!! The years just fly on by these days...It is 2012 and we all miss you! I can't believe it has been so long since we last talked...I am sure you are holding and playing with your newest grand-daughter, Journee Ann, as I write this. She is due to arrive here in about 3 or so weeks. Thanks for watching over us all as you promised and thank you for being our Mom. No one would dispute that I am sure! I hope Christmas was a good time for all of us here and you all there. Say Hi to all for me and give them lots of huggs too! My foot is healing well and I will back to work on Jan. 9th, 1 month after I left. Next school year and for the remainder of my career, I will be on a traditional schedule for that is what was decided this year. So...I have all my summers off from now on and I am loving that! This year, if I am not working a 2nd job that is...I'll be on vacation in CA, AZ and WA and hopefully AK too! I also of course will be visiting Breauxdee and his little sister Journee Ann for a few weeks as well in Blanding. You take care and please continue to watch over us all. I love you and miss you lots...your loving firstborn...

Merry Christmas, Mom. Wow, I cannot believe it's the end of another year-it kind of went by fast. I'm on vacation till just after the New Year. Daniel, Emily, Holly-her boys, Flo & Lui were all here yesterday to celebrate and open there gifts. The last time that many people (actually more) were at the house was 2 years ago on Daniel's 50th Birthday Party. It was a packed house, but it was worth it. I'm going to work for H & R Block again and don't know what's going to happen with my day job at the prison. Hopefully they'll find a way to keep me or I find another job there. I took and past a Notary & Loan Signing Specialist course, so I'll be opening up a business next year called Dino's Documents. I hope it does well and I make some money, just in case it takes me awhile to get back into the state again. I miss you very much and wish you were still with us, but one day we will be together again. Say hi to everyone for me. Take Care, Love Always

Hi mom;) I can't believe it’s been 7 years now since your passing. God how time flies by whether you’re having fun or not and in my case, not or at least not much. Well I finally decided to clean out the garage (again) while on my last week of vacation. Hopefully I’ll finish by Sunday; if not, I guess I’ll have homework for next week, lol. Not much else happening here, just work, TV & the internet. Soon I’ll be taking some more H & R Block classes later in the summer. When I go back to work I’ll talk to my boss’s about finding or creating a job for me if they still want to keep me. Say hi to everyone for me. Till next time, Take Care, Love Always

Hi Mom, Happy Mother's Day! I have watched a TON of old films you use to watch and had in honor of Mother's Day and you! What fun! Nick comes home in 6 days...can you believe 8 months has already past by? He was once again the Soldier of the Cycle and received this award for the second time in the past 8 months. He had to be the Soldier of the week first this time to compete. I be such a "Proud" mama. Thank you for watching over him and the rest of my family. Say HI to all...Miss you!

Happy Birthday Mom! 73 huh? WOW! I would have written sooner, but my internet keeps dropping and I have been down about 10 days now with pneumonia and may have to be down another week. Oh well, I'm ok with that. Nick did join the National Guard and I do have his kids every other week, and this is my week. Athena has school till Thursday and Jace has school until next Wed. If I go back to work this week, I am off Friday till the New Year, then we all go back the 3rd of Jan. Nick graduates from Basic Training the 13th of Jan. He is hoping we can go and see, I doubt it, but he thinks we can! Amanda finally found another job and Italia will be here with me and the kids this week I think while she attends her court ordered night classes. The kids and I will finish our Christmas crafts, letters to Dad, Christmas cards and cookies, so we will keep busy. There are plenty of Christmas shows on too! Well, I wish you were here to see how big they have all gotten, time sure does fly by so fast these days! Take Care Mom and say Hi to Dad and everyone. Miss ya and love ya lots. Your loving first born,

Happy 73rd Birthday, Mom. I can’t believe it’s been over 6 years since your passing. I got rehired for H & R Block for next year and I’m still working at the prison. I have an application in for what I think might be the ideal job I want at the prison, but will see. Sometimes I wish we could sit and talk again. But until that day comes, Take Care.

Today marks the 6th year that you left Mother Earth and took the stairway to Heaven. I can’t believe it’s been 6 years already. Time has flown by too quickly. Next month I will have been working 6 months since my brief (4+ yrs) vacation. I thought the transition would be harder to get use to again, but it wasn’t thank God. Well say hi to everyone for me. Hope you liked the colorful roses I left you. Take care, Love always

Hi Mom, I sure hope your Mother's Day was much better than mine. KIDS!!!! Alan and his family are doing fine and he started school today. He is going to school to become a nurse. Nick is awaiting his orders to join the Army National Guard. As soon as he gets those, he will be leaving and I will take over his parenting rights every other week until his return. He will be a Medic in the service and should come out of schooling/training as a certified EMT. Both boys going into the medical field, can you believe it? I applied and interviewed for the 1st grade teaching position at school, and I will find out tomorrow if I got the job. I'm hoping!!!! I am the MOST qualified, so I should get it. Wish me luck today Mom; I think I am going to need it. Say hi to all and please continue to watch over us all, especially Amanda and her daughter Italia! They are going through some rough times right now. Take care, miss you! Love ya, Your loving firstborn...

Happy Mother's Day Mom. Well I was hired by the prison again, back on February 8th and I work in the file room, which I hope to stay in as long as possible. The reason is all new Case Records Technicians (CRT’s) start out in the file room and then end up in a cubicle behind a desk pushing paperwork all day. I don't think I'd enjoy doing that at all. I still have an application in for the warehouse, which I think would be more up my alley in the long run. Eventually I think I would want to end up as either a Prison Canteen Manager or the Warehouse Manager, will see, first I have to get into the warehouse before I can promote to either of these jobs. I also finished my 1st year as a Tax Associate for H & R Block, it was fun, new and somewhat different from what I normally like to do, but I learned a lot and it helped out in paying some bills. I’m going to try to work for them again next year as well. Yesterday Rebeca and I went to the H & R Block’s Banquet down by the airport right on the water. It was nice, plus I got to see a few of the associates that finished the tax class with me last fall. Rebeca is doing fine and again received a pink slip (might not be hired next year) from the school she teaches at in El Cajon. But the same thing happened last year; it’s all about the California’s budget problems and cutting all kinds of programs and reducing money for schools. Rockstar’s a little bundle of joy and full of energy most of the time, but sometimes she’s a little devil. Not much else happening down here except a few earthquakes on and after Easter Sunday, but other than that, all's well. Take care. Love always

Happy Easter Mom! Hope all is well and you and your family and Dad are enjoying your Peace and Eternity. Just found Dad's book, how silly of me NOT to have looked, especially because I asked if it was preserved and was told NO! Alan moved to Blanding this week with his family. I now know how it feels to NOT have a little grandchild around. Sad...sorry I did that to ya too. Just wish you had come to visit more often. Don't know if I will drive to go and see Breauxdee very often either. I am hoping they travel here more. I will try the drive this summer to see if I can drive it, like you tried once to go see Danny and his family in Long Beach. I just hope and pray that nothing strange happens to me as it did you. I'd be cured from going too! Love ya and miss you lots! Say hi to everyone for me. Take care and please continue watching over your prosterity, please! Love ya, your loving first born...

Happy 2010 Mom. Sorry you weren't here to see it. Neither is Dad or any of our grandparents. You are where you are suppose to be as we all are and at least you are out of pain and enjoying paradise. Patrick will be in training these next 2 weeks and hopefully will love this job so much that he is able to do so year round. I also pray he is able to get the other job he wants, so help him a little ok? Thanks for watching over us and always know we all love you very much. Love your loving first born,

Hi Mom, Happy Birthday! Well, it was a few days ago, but I wrote Happy Birthday Mom on my school calendar and sang you the "Happy Birthday" song all that day, so that should count for something right? I have been extremely busy and didn't forget about you, just didn't get on my computer until today. Had over 600 messages on here not counting the spam ones, so ya know it has been a bit since I was last on here! Amanda has to move, Italia is a bundle of joy, Breauxdee is doing great and growing faster than a weed, Nick's 2 are funny and fun and doing really well! We all miss you at this time of year especially, your birthday and the holidays afterall. Patrick may be working come the new year, and that is GREAT news...so keep him in your prayers. He really needs this right now. Thanks for watching over all of us this past year and please never stop! We will always need you! Miss you Mom and love you always, Your loving first born!

Happy 72nd Birthday, Mom. I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years since I have worked. I finished the H & R Block Tax Course and was hired by them for next year’s tax season. I let them know I would only work nights and weekends because I am still waiting on the prison job. Hopefully by next week all the paperwork for the prison will be good and I can start in January. Well not much else new around here. Till next time. Hope you liked the roses. Take Care, Love Always and Forever

Hi Nana,
Hope you are doing well and still dancing all day long:) Wow, it's crazy how time flies and how so much has changed. We'll I'm doing good. I'm taking some online courses while working full-time at a Retirement Community. I plan out the activities for the residents and set-up parties, special event, trips, etc. And, I've been married for a year and a half now so now I'm a Rodriguez. I know, I'm young, but you would really like him. He's funny, supportive and treats me really well. Best thing that has happened to me so far and if you had anything to do with sending him my way, thank you. We'll I hope you're having a great time and I know you are always with me. I'm doing the best I can to make you proud and will continue to do so. Love you!

Hi Nana.
Just wanted to take a minute to update you. Michael Jackson passed away on June 25th, 2009. I am so upset over it I can't believe what an impact it has on me. What a wonderful person (such as yourself) leaving us WAYYYYYY to early. I don't believe in anything religious. But, in case I am wrong (which I could be) please tell him HELLO from Amanda Bsumek-his BIGGEST FAN!!! I love you Nana, I miss you SO much. Can't believe it has been 5 years. It will always feel like yesterday I guess. Oh yeah...you forgot to finish teaching me to crochet...so my Mom is going to try ;). I love you Nana.

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since you passed away. A lot has happened since then. Last year I was medically retired after having 2 surgeries on my left knee. I still don’t have a job, but I turned in some more applications for the prison and a couple to the DMV this time. Hopefully someone will hire me soon. Say HI to everyone for me. Hope you liked the flowers. Take Care. Love Always

Hi Mom, Happy Mother's Day! Man I was down for the count all day yesterday and don't feel even 75% better yet. Staying home today to sleep and recoop. Patrick called and said he was on his way to place flowers for you! He is quite the man these days. You did good! Saralee and Alan are expecting their first child November 23rd. They are both excited. I even took a sewing class to learn to make baby receiving blankets. You would have loved to learn this one, quite easy too! Amanda wants me to finish teaching her how to crochet because all you taughter her to do was make a string and promised when you came back you would teach her how to complete something, but you didn't come back, so I will continue that legacy. Nana taught you, you taught me, I'll teach the next 2 generations. OK?! Amanda has also started cosmetology school and so far enjoys it. I always knew she would. Tried to get her to do this back in high school, but you know my daugthter...if it ain't her idea, it ain't a good one! Nicholas joins the Army in about 6 weeks and I will become a full time Nana to his 2 kids. He wasn't suppose to join until July something, so I really wasn't expecting to do this for at least 2 months. But, if he leaves early, he will be back early so I guess that is better. With the economy the way it is we are all lucky to have a job. Patrick has an interview today and Wed. Help him out there ok Mom? He really needs this. Well, now that I have updated you, I had better get something light to eat. Take care and say HI to everyone. Thank you for watching over us. Love always, your loving first born,

Hi mom! Happy Birthday! Stayed home and wrapped Christmas gifts, made peanut butter cups and watched Nick's kids. Also went and looked at a puppy, but I don't think I'll be getting one just yet. Patrick and Rebeca got a puppy though. Italia is a little miracle and seems to have overcome her medical condition she had last year. I can't believe I have 5 grandkids now. Alan got married in August to Saralee and Nicholas got divorced. Man, so much has happened since you left, even Dad has passed away now. Victor Minert passed away in July as well. Janet seems to be slowing down and in and out of the hospital much more lately, but she is afterall going to be 76 in less than 60 days! Well, give everyone my love. We all miss you and love you. Please continue to watch over us all. Love always, your loving first born,

Hi Mom...even though I didn't get to write on here for your 70th birthday, I wrote it on my board at school and I sang Happy Birthday to you anyway. Sorry, but we have been rather preoccupied with Italia and her medical condition. She has been in Primary Children's Hospital for a week now and may not be able to leave for a few months. Amanda is hoping to take her home for a few hours on Christmas Day, but we will have to wait and see how she is that day. Everyone is doing ok with all of this, but it is hard. Hope to have better news when next I write. I miss you Mom. Love always, your loving first born...

Hi Mom, Amanda got married yesterday, 07/07/07 and she looked so beautiful. I even got to play with Athena when she ran right to me and Jeff. She wanted me to hold her, so I picked her up and she gave me a great big hug! She is a blondie, but even Amanda's new in laws said she looked just like her Nana. She really does but with lighter hair. I have a picture that I think where I look like her at her age...just have to find it. Thanks for watching over us all and my new little granddaughter, Italia! Please keep her safe and happy while she is still with you and continue to watch over everyone. Jace came by to say hi and give me hugs and kisses too, but he was having too much fun with his new cousin Will to stay around long. Amanda married Eric who has 2 kids, Will 6, and Kaya 11, so I now have almost 5 grandkids. Well, Alan comes home in 4 days!!!!! Can you believe it?! I am still way behind with his room, but now he can help! I miss you Mom and love you lots!! Love always, your loving 1st born.

Hello Mom, It has been three years today. Mom I love and miss you so much. There has been a many days and nights I have wanted to call you. Yes you are right, I still can't accept it that you are gone. Today Mauricio and I planted a yellow rose bush just for you. He is getting so big. He starts school this year. Danielle and Shawn are doing fine. As for me well, we just won't talk about that. As you know I keep things bottled up inside. Hope all is well with you Mom. Win at BINGO yet? Bet you play day and night. Tell Grace,Nana & Flo I say Hi. Please come to me so I can talk to you Mom. I really do miss and love you, and it is hard for me to accept. Well I will close this for now, but never my heart or love. Always in our hearts and always in our minds.Forever and Always... We all love and miss you.

Hi Mom! Happy Mother's Day! Did you and Nana enjoy the day and were you watching everyone? I hope so! The yellow roses I planted out back for you always bloom on Mother's Day...that's kind of nice huh? All is well here in Utah. Alan called and he only has 58 days left till he comes home from his mission. 2 years certainly flew by didn't it? Amanda is beginning to show and I got to see my new grandson through an ultrasound they did when she was just 8 weeks but now they have determined she was really 12 weeks instead. He is due October 6th. Well, at least I think he is a he! We will know in about 3 weeks or so. Give him a hug from me, his Nana and lots of kisses while you hold him and rock him up there. Give everyone huggs from me in fact! Say Hi to Nana and grandpa too! I miss you Mom! Love always from your first born, Doreen

Hi Mom! So...this is the second birthday we weren't able to celebrate with you, but I am sure Grandpa and Nana remembered and that you enjoyed having their company after being so many years without it. Life is good here with my new job and all. Kids are doing good too. Alan is enjoying his mission and only has 7 months left. Home improvements are coming along slowly but at least I am making headway these days. It helps when I have a week a month off. I know we all miss you greatly and wish we had been given more time with you. I know that is my wish. I know we will all be together again, but it still hurts not being able to call and hear your voice. Say HI to Nana and Grandpa for us and thanks for being our Mom! Happy Birthday! Love Always, your first born child, Doreen

Happy 69th Birthday Mom. I Can’t Believe It’s Been Over 2 ½ Years Since You Past Away. Rebeca And I Are Doing Fine. My Knee Has Not Fully Recovered From March’s Surgery. Hopefully Next Week My Doctor Will Request Another MRI, That Way He’ll Be Able To See What’s Going On In The Inside. Say Hi To Everyone For Me. Take Care Cause I Care. Love Always And Forever

Hi Mom, Well today marks the 2nd anniversary of your passing and Alan's first anniversary of him leaving on his mission. He is enjoying life and is really having fun doing the Lord's work there in Louisana. We can't believe he has already been gone a year! I remembered your laughter and smile on the 4th. Seems that holiday now has more meaning for me. Our last holiday together. Wish I had known more, then I wouldn't have left that night. Somehwere there are pictures of you wearing my silly 4th hat that day but I am afraid I can't find them anywhere, even now. Wish I could find them so I could send every body one. I am sure they would all love having that picture of you being so silly!I miss you Mom, we all do. Wish you could see your first great grand daugter. She is 9 months old now and laughs and giggles and is so much fun. Her and Jace enjoy each other's company and he loves to make her laugh! They are such a joy to watch. Well, say HI to Nana and Granpa for me. I miss you, and I miss them too. Take Care Mom. I love you. Always, your first born...

Merry Christmas Mom. I cannot believe this is the second Christmas you have been gone now. Hope you and your parents had a good one up there. Not much new down here, still working on the house and working. Found out I did not get accepted to the master's program for Spring '06, but that's ok, it gives me more time to finish the house now. I will reapply in the spring for the fall. Hopefully everything has been great up there with you and your parents all together again. Take Care, Love Always

Merry Christmas Mom....Alan was able to call on Christmas day and once again on Mother's Day. We all certainly missed having him here this year. We also missed being able to call you and Nana; but we know you and your parents celebrated the day together and with our brother there in Heaven. We miss you and love you lots too Mom. It really hasn't been the same since you left. Athena and Jace are doing great and he even knows who you are in your picture...your Nana 2! He came up with that all by himself. Take care Mom. Please continue watching over us all as always. Love always, your loving first born,

Happy Mother’s Day Mom. Hope Everything Is Fine Up There With You, Your Father And Friends. Wish You Were Still Here On MOTHER-EARTH With All Of Us. I Cannot Believe You Have Been Gone Now For 10 Months. GOD I Miss You. I Graduate In Less Than 2 Weeks. I Cannot Believe It, Finally After All Those Years, It’s Finally Going To Pay Off The Day Before Nana’s 90th Birthday. Nana By The Way Is Doing As Well As Can Be, But You Probably Knew Before All Of Us About Her Condition And Checking Herself Into A Health Care Facility In Millbury, Mass. Well Mom Take Care, Cause I Will Always Care. Love Always And Forever

Hi Mom, Happy Mother's Day! I celebrate my 23rd year as a Mother today, the same number of years I had you as a Mother before I became one. Now I am going to become a Nana of 2! By the way, your very first great-grand daughter in fact! We just found out this past week. This year isn't much fun being a Mom without you here. I miss you Mom, we all do! The day you met our Heavenly Father and brother Jesus last year, is the day my son Alan leaves, to serve them for 2 years this year, as an LDS Missionary. He is going to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I know you watch over all of us, especially your baby, so would you also watch over mine while he is gone as well? I know he will be in GOD's hands too, so I'm not worried, just going to miss him is all. Hope you have a wonderful Mother's day Mom. In your honor, I'm planting yellow roses today in my garden. Thanks for being my Mom. I love you.

Hi Mom, 2 weeks ago Jeff and I went to Reno to see Penny and to play your games. We had a blast and I won of course, but 1/2 way through the gambling I remembered you were gone and I realised I had just become like you with the cards hanging from my purse. I laughed until I cried. I miss you so! I also found last weekend what you hid last summer. I bet you thought it would take longer huh? Thanks Mom. It really means alot that I have what is MINE once again. Happy you found it and wanted to surprise me by hiding it from me. It was a happy and yet sad thing too. I miss you so much, bet you never thought you were so loved? I'm just sorry it took this for you to see and for all of us to realize it. Hey, I'm going to be a "Nana" again!! Bet you knew before I did huh? I just know right now that you are playing with him and rocking him and telling him all wonderful things about his parents and family here on earth. Give him a hug for me too! I love you and miss you lots Mom. Always your loving first born, Doreen
p.s. Happy Valentine's Day Mom!

Nana,
Wow I can't believe it took me this long to write you. You know I don't believe in anything but, I thought maybe I would just write you any way. I miss you so very much and wish you were still here so I could call and talk to you and tell you what's going on. I think I am a "little you" in so many ways and I never thought I would lose my only grandmother so soon. Remember we were in the process of planning my wedding. I wanted you to be here for it...Oh well, I will just have you in my heart. Thank you for my nick-name and thank you for my middle name. I love you & Miss you...Love Always-Amanda Panda
