Well it will soon be 3 years since you left us and I still sometimes cannot believe that God took you from us so early. I miss you more than I can put words to. We lost Buffy last week - I am getting so that I hate the holiday season. Although I love it in other repects with all the kids, we see Eddie now and then and keep in touch and how could I forget JJ. He is so delightful you would be so proud of him. I love you and miss you so much.

Gosh how I miss you. Now is the time we could spend a lot of time together. Instead I am sitting here on my tail end, can't do much of anything right now and thinking so much of you. I cannot express how much I think of you and miss you. I know you are in a safe place and not hurting any more but it still does not help me with you not here. It just isn't suppose to be this way. You are suppose to be here and I should be there instead. I guess it just wasn't suppose to be. I love you so very much, I want to just call you and hear your voice. I love you. Mother

Haven't written you in awhile - it is still very hard for me to think that you are not with us anymore. I miss you so much, I have your picture on top of my computer desk and a lady I know brought me back a statue of the Eiffel Tower that sits next to your picture. You were never able to get to Paris to see your homeland, but maybe somehow you feel close to it now. I miss you and love you so much. Mom

My dearest daughter, haven't written you in a while just couldn't get the words out. I miss you so much and just still cannot understand why you were taken away from us. The fact that you are not hurting or suffering from illnesses anymore is the only thing that comforts me. It has been very cold, icy and snowy here the last few days. Amy took JJ outside and she said that he just loved it and she could hardly get him back inside the house. You are constantly in my thoughts and until we meet again. I love you so much. Mom

Just wanted to say "hi" and that I love you and miss you so very much. Some days I just don't know how to handle your not being here. It is horrible. Luv Mom

Well it has been a while since I have written you. Your little grandson was a big 2 last week; what an enjoyable child. He is so delightful; but I know you are watching his every move and seeing what a lovely job your daughter has done with him. He is so polite for such a little tyke. Oh, he has his ornery moments, but overall he is just a delightful little boy, also not to say how beautiful he is. I miss you so much; I miss our trips to San Antonio, and just everything we used to do. I wish God had taken me instead of you, but guess he left me behind for a purpose. I will sign off now, but I love you and miss you so much. Mom

My dearest daughter, I miss you so very much. I honestly don't know if I can ever get over this. You are constantly on my mind; I know you are no longer in pain and I am grateful for that, but the pain in my heart is so bad. I love you so much. It is just not the same without you. JJ has been a blessing; he is such a sweetie; but soon he will be such that I won't be able to take care of him. He is so active and energetic and I just do not have the energy any more for much of anything. Love you Mom

Well, here we are approaching another Mother's Day - one without you. I miss you so very much. I never knew one could hurt so much. Deep down I know you are no longer hurting but it still is so terrible without you. I love you. Mom

April 27, 2006

Well, here I am again, I wish I could hold you in my arms and love you. I miss you so much. That grandson of yours is such a delightful little boy. But I know you are watching over him and protecting him. Take care and someday I will see you again. I love you so much. Mom

Hey momma, well sorry I haven't written in a while. We have been very busy with work and raising a 19 1/2 month old. He is getting so big. He is repeating everything that we say now. I miss you very much. Great grandma has been pretty sick. But she is stubborn. She will be good. I will hopefully get to write you soon. Love you and miss you very much as always.-A

Well, today is your son's 13th birthday and you couldn't be here to see him turn into his teens. He is such a delightful young man and so good looking. I took him Saturday to have his picture taken with one of UT's star football players and he was standing there looking up at me and I just wanted to fall apart , he looks so much like you from the eyes up. It just really got to me. I miss you so very much. I just want to hold you and hug you so much. I don't write much anymore as it upsets me so, just know that I love you beyond words and I think of you constantly. Luv Mother

Just wanted to tell you that I miss you and love you so much. Some day I hope I understand why God needed you before me. It is so lonely without you. I think of you constantly and wish I could hug you. I love you so much. Mom

Well Christmas has come and gone; we made it through but there was a huge void. JJ was so delightful and I know you are watching over him and seeing how delightful he is. Amy and Joe are good Mom and Dad - they are struggling, but young marrieds and parents usually do. I remember those days. It is such a beautiful day today, would be a good day for you and me to go to SA and eat at our favorite place and go to the River Walk. I miss you so much; some days it is so hard to stop crying; but the thought of you no longer hurting helps a little. I love you. Mom

It has been a very long year without you. I love you so much and miss you even more. I know you are no longer hurting and are at peace, but you belong here with all of us. I love you. Mom

It's been a year since you've been gone. I think about you every day. I've been dreaming about you every night lately. It's always the same. I go into the bedroom and you're there in bed and I rush over to you and start crying and tell you how much I miss you and then I wake up. I love you and miss you all of the time.

Liz Ammons

December 11, 2005

Been a long time since I have written you, but just can't seem to find the words to tell you how much I miss you. I know you are no longer hurting and are a peace but I still want you home. Christmas is almost here and another one without you.Just isn't the same. I love you so much. Mom

Hey mommy, well happy birthday( a few days late). We miss you. JJ pointed at your picture the other day and started to smile. I am pretty sure that he knows who you are. Well I will talk to you soon. Love-A

Well, your 45th birthday has come and gone. I cannot believe that you were not with us to celebrate. I can remember 45 years ago how excited your Dad and I were to have a little girl and how beautiful you were. I love you so much; cannot even begin to tell you how much you are missed. I don't write as much - just can't and I know you understand. But you also know how much I love you. Mom

My darling daughter, I just don't know what to say, I miss you so very much. At times, I think I am handling the situation okay and then I crater. I know all everyone says is true that time does heal. But how much time. Seems like I miss you more and more each day. I want to hold you and love you and I know I will never get that chance again. And, I know all the Dr's say that talking it out helps and it does at times, my friends are very good listeners, I try to stay busy because my quiet times (such as now) are horrible. I just can't stop thinking about you. I know in my heart you are no longer hurting and that is a blessing. But does not take away the hurt I feel when I cannot talk to you. You can't imagine how much JJ has helped me cope with your loss; but I can't let myself get so wrapped up in him, as Amy and Joe probably will move back to New York and that really is the right move for them; as much as I would hate it. The schools are much better there for JJ. He is the most adorable little guy. Gorgeous little boy. I need to close for now. I don't write as much anymore it hurts too much; but I want you to know that I love you and miss you so very much; I am sure you know that tho. Luv Mom

Hey mommy, well this weeekend is alumni weekend. Last year when we took J.J. he was only 3 weeks old. This year he will be 13 months old. He si walking everywhere. Dad is so surprised and so happy that he is growing up. I miss you alot. Your birthday is coming up soon and that is going to be pretty hard for everyone, but we will get through it. I will talk to you soon. I love you lots hugs and kisses-A

Hey momma, Well it is now J.J.'s first birthday. You were so happy when he was born. I am so sad to think that you are going to miss this day, but I know that you are with him. You would be so proud of him. Dad loves him enough for both of you though. Casey starts 7th grade in 2 days. I can't believe how fast things are moving. I miss you. I know that you already know that though. We are going to NY on wed. to visit Bill and everyone up there. It will be the first time they all see J.J. I am so excited. I am scared to fly though. But you already know that though. Well I better get going to bed and get ready for work tomorrow. I love you and miss you like always. Hugs and kisses.-A

Well, it has been quite a while since I have written you, but just have needed the time to cope with it all. I miss you so much I can't imagine the rest of my life without you. I just am really having a hard time with all this and don't really know what to do. That is wrong I do know what to do, "get on with things" and I am pretty much doing that but I just can't get you off my mind. Every time I hold JJ I think how much you loved him and how much he would have loved you. He is so darling - can't believe that he will be 11 months old next week. God knows I would not want you to suffer any more but still want you back and know that is impossible. I love you so much and you know me, good ole strong Liz - I will learn to cope with your loss, but it is a while off yet. Rest my darling daughter and I will write again soon. Love Mom

Just a quick note to tell you how much I miss you and love you. Yet, I know that you are at peace and not hurting any more; that helps but I just miss you so much. It is so lonesome without you. You would be so proud of your grandson, he is such a delight. Gorgeous little face; you would not believe. I want to understand why you were taken from us - then maybe I could learn to get it in my head that you are gone. I want to hug you so bad. Love Mom

Hey momma, well it has been 6 months since you have left and it also happens to be Father's day. What a week I tell ya. I miss you and I have been having some bad days b/c of it. J.J. is getting so big. He is 10 months old now. You would be amazed at how well behaved he is. Every holiday is wierd without you here. We are finally in our new apartment. And grandma and grandpa are packing now to move into the new house. I wish that you could see how wonderful a father that Joe is. But I bet that you are watching him already. I couldn't have asked for a better dad for my child. Well I have to go and get J.J. to bed but I will talk to you later.

I love you and miss you always-A

My dearest daughter, I haven't written lately - isn't because I don't think of you it is because I get so depressed when I do. I just can't believe that you aren't with us any longer. I miss you so much. I know you are no longer in pain and are finally resting but I still want you home. Can't write anymore tonight, I love you. Mom

Hey momma, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. It is my first with a child and my first without my mother. It is Bittersweet I guess. I had so much fun though. I know that we would have. Linda is trying her best to help me while you are not here. And she is doing a great job. I miss you. I know you know that though. J.J. has his first two teeth. they are so cute. Well I will let you go, and talk to you later. Love you always and forever.-A

Today is Mother's Day and I want a hug so bad. I miss you more and more. This is my first Mother's Day without both of my children. It isn't suppose to be that way. You should still be here and enjoying your kids and your child child. I just wish I could understand why God saw fit to take you from us so soon. I don't think I will ever understand that. I know you are at peace and not hurting anymore, but I miss you so much. I love you. Mom

Amy Stacavich

April 27, 2005

Well, I am having a hard time right now with you gone. I have so many motherly questions to ask. I look at J.J. and I don't know what he would do if he lost me. And that just makes me hurt even more. I will write more later. I have him in my arms and he is sleeping finally. He is getting his first tooth. I love you-A

Liz Ammons

April 21, 2005

I haven't written you in a long time because it is so hard to think that I have to write you to tell you how much I love you and miss you. Cindy, I miss you so much, but yet I know you are no longer in pain and at peace but it doesn't help sometimes. You would be so proud of JJ he is such a darling, good-natured little boy. Amy is such a good mommy. He is what has held all of us together these last months. I just can't get you out of my mind and I want so much to hug you. Someday I will be with you again and will get a huge hug. Okay? Till then be a peace you are so loved and missed. Mom

Hey momma, well I know that I always say that I am sorry for not writing,but I really am. I wrote you a while back but I guess that it never got posted. So much has been going on that I don't even know where to begin. They have the frame of grandpa & grandma's house up. She is so ready to move. You would be so happy for her. You would also love our new apartment that we are moving into at the end of May. It is almost 1200 sqft. J.J is getting so big. He is literally half of me. He now weighs 20 lbs and is almost 30 in long. At 8 months I guess that we can say that he is taking after his father's side of the family. Joe is such a wonderful father to him. You would be amazed. I knew that he would be great but not anything like he is. I mus t say that it has been a rough week. It has now been 4 months sinceyou have been gone and it feels like forever. This mother's day is going to be hard. It is my first mother's day with my baby and my first without my mother. I am not sure how I am going to handel that. I heard Martina McBride's song " In my Daughter's eyes ". It makes me sad when I hear it. Dad and Casey went on their annual camping trip( or one of them ) and they had fun. I miss you. I know that oy uare happy now and watching over us so just let me know that every once in a while. I love you as always-A

Well, here it is midnight and another sleepless night. I cannot get you out of my mind. I miss you so much. I have always prided myself on how strong I am in handling most everything, but this is too much - I just can't deal with it. I know in my heart you are at peace and not hurting anymore, but I just want you back. Sorry, I didn't want to complain, but I just can't understand why our Lord took you so early. I love you so much. Well, you would be so proud of your grandson - he is such a gorgeous little boy and such a delight. Growing like a weed and such a good natured baby. I love you - but better sign off for now. Luv Mom

March 14, 2005

Hey momma, how are you? I wish that you could see hoe big J.J. is getting. I can't believe that he is almost 7 months old. You would be so proud of him. I know that I am. I have all kinds of questions for you about when I was little and I wish you could somehow answer me. Grandma is so excited about her new house. You would love it. You might want to check in on Casey and Erin every now and then. Casey gets really sad and Erin just doesn't show it. I worry about them. Well as you know today is Casey's 12th birthday. And Erin's 21st is on Wednesday. Well I just thought that I would write you. But I love you and miss you as always.-A

March 12, 2005

Well, you will never guess what we did. Yesterday, a For Sale sign went up in our front yard. I have some mixed emotions about it, I really can't stand this house - I think of you so much in it, yet I know wherever I go you will be with me. I need to get to a new lease on life. I don't know that I will ever get over your leaving us. Yet, I know you are at peace and no longer hurting and I am thankful for that. But I want so bad to hold you in my arms and love you. One thing about the new house, I will have a nice large room for my sewing and can get back into sewing things and making things and get my mind straightened out. I love you so much and miss you so very very much. Mom

Just wanted to say Hi, and tell you how much I miss you and love you. You are in my thoughts so much and I just can't shake it. I know you are gone but my heart just won't let me accept that. I want so much to hug you and hold you. I am not going to write for awhile, I am not handling this very well and I just have to get on with whatever it is I do in life. But, just because I won't write for awhile doesn't mean you won't be in my thoughts and heart; you will never be away from my thoughts or my heart. I love you so much. Mom

Hello momma, I hope you are doing well. It's been a while since I have written and I am sorry for that. J.J. has been a cranky butt. I think that he is going through a growth spurt. Like he needs to grow any more. Well I have been thinking about you the past couple of days non-stop. Last night I just held your picture and cried. I guess it is okay to do that every once in a while. I know that everyone else misses you too. I am also sooooo mad at you. That you had the nerve to leave us this early. You are missing so much of J.J. growing up. I guess there is not much we can do about it now. I will write you again in a while> I miss you and love you always and forever. Love-A

Liz Ammons

February 23, 2005

Just wanted to say that "I love you" - I just can't get you out of my mind or thoughts. Some days I think I can live with this and others I just don't know. Here's a big hug and kiss for you. Mom

Amy Stacavich ( Daughter)

February 17, 2005

Hello momma, I hope you are doing well. J.J. is now 6 months and 2 days old. He is getting big. I miss you very much. I went to another funeral yesterday. Melinda's ex-boyfriend,Trey, passed away on Saturday morning. His viewing was at Harrell funeral home. I must say that it brought back alot of memories. But good ones. Joe misses you but he is not much of a writer. I forgot to tell you that JJ is 19 lbs. and 28 inches long. And we ( Joe and I) have two more cousins. Sarah had her twins on Saturday. Molly and Matthew were about a month and a half early but for now they are doing well. I will let you go for now but I will write you soon. And Casey misses you too. He tells me all the time. And both of their birthdays are coming up also so if you could watch over them and answer any prayers or requests that they have. I love you and miss you always and forever. -A

February 16, 2005

Well, it has now been 2 months and 2 days since you were taken from us. I miss you so much. I am just at a loss and don't know what to do. Your grandson is so darling - he is such a happy baby. He is just about half of Amy's height. He is going to be a tall one. He is just a little sweetheart. All the gals at the office think he is a beauty and he is. I am trying so hard to think of the great times you and I had together and not dwell on our loss but it is hard. It is very late and I cannot sleep but need to try so I can get up and go to work in the morning. I love you so much. I keep thinking there should have been something I could have done to prevent this from happening. Mom

Liz Ammons

February 6, 2005

It is so hard for me to write you knowing that I can't talk to you. I just miss you so very much. I just want to understand so bad why God took you from us so early. I am trying so hard to deal with this and just can't seem to grab hold. I love you so very much and wish I could have done something to have prevented this. You are always in my thoughts. Rest my darling daughter. Mom

Amy Stacavich(daughter)

February 5, 2005

Hey momma, I am sorry that it has been so long since I have written you. J.J. has been pretty sick. He has his first ear infection and cold. I feel so bad for him. He can't breathe and he keeps coughing. Anyways, as always I miss you. Allison found out the other day that she is having two boys and Joe's cousin is in the hospital with her twins. It really isn't starting off a very good year. I have to go to bed and get him to bed too, but I love you and miss you always-A

Cindy, I've been thinking about you and your family a lot over the last month. I have many many fond memories of fun times we had years ago. And each time a new one pops into my head, I'll either sport a quick smile, or burst out laughing. You and Eddie, as well as your kids and parents have been such an important part of my life, and have brought me a great deal of happy experiences that I'll never forget.

You're missed! Rest in peace.

Hey momma, I hope things are going well for you. I have been kinda sad these last few days. I just really miss you. J.J. weighs 18 pounds now. No one ever said he was going to be a small child. I keep trying to call you to ask you questions about when I was growing up and did I do this and that. Nut I am pretty sure that I can't reach you. J.J. does loves his grandpa though. I know that he miss you. I will go for now, but you know I will write to you soon. I love you and miss you-A ( oh ya, I forgot to tell you that Melinda is getting married.Thought that you might like to know that.)

Hi Baby,

Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary.I miss you so much. I can't believe you're not here anymore.

What else can I say? I love you so much and wish I could see you and hold you again but that won't happen.

I love you,

Eddie

Liz Ammons

January 23, 2005

Well, here it is almost the end of January and I still do not understand why the good Lord took you from us so early. I miss you so much. Every time I pass your house I want to stop and see if you are okay. I want to hold you so bad and hug you and try to make things all better for you like when you were a little girl and hurting. But I know I can't. I can't write anymore. I love you so much. Mom

Amy Stacavich

January 9, 2005

Hey momma, sorry I haven't written in a while. J.J. is starting to crawl. Well more like scooting. But everyone I talk to seems to think that you are in him. I have never seen a baby do this much stuff in such a short amount of time. He has such a personality. I miss you so much. I can't believe that it has been almost a month already. Yall's anniversary is coming up too. That is going to be a bad day. Everytime a holiday or special occasion rolls around I wonder why you just couldn't have hung on for a little longer. I guess the days before you died you were trying to tell us something was wrong. We all just kinda blew it off like normal. Now I really wish that we hadn't. There aren't enough words to tell you how much I miss you. I know that I keep saying that, but I still am not sure what else to say. I have to go for now, but I will write to you in the next couple days. I promise you that. I love you-A

Liz Ammons

January 8, 2005

I know I wasn't going to write you again for awhile, but I miss you so much and I want so much to hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you, pat you on the back and say it will get better. I just cannot comprehend that you are gone. I need to sign off, know this is short, but cannot write anymore. I love you. Mom

Liz Ammons

January 2, 2005

My Dearest Daughter, Cindy I don't know what to do. I am so bewildered and in disbelief, yet I know what has happened. I know you are finally at peace with pain and will no longer experience pain, but I just keep thinking there should have been something I could have done. I am not going to write for a few days as I have got to get ahold of myself and get back on day-to-day track of things. Just know that I love you beyond belief and pray that you are free of all the painful aches that you had. Luv Mom

Liz Ammons

January 1, 2005

My Dearest Daughter, I can't believe that I am writing you and can't believe that you are no longer with us. Yet, I am realistic enough to know that you are no longer in any kind of pain and that itself is a blessing. But I wish I could understand why God felt the need to take you to his house so young. JJ has helped everyone keep together. He is so delightful. I love you so very much. Mom

Hey momma, Well it is now 2005. Happy New Year.I found pictures the other day of when Christy from when you worked at Chase Bank came over and stayed for a while. You were so happy. Your hair was really short but you were happy. I think that it was new Years Eve about 5 years ago. Right after Joe and I got together. Anyways.Today we didn't make a big deal out of it. We ( meaning all in the family, except for Joe, he was working.) Went out to eat at Tres Amigos. It reminded me of my Bridal Shower. Then daddy and Erin and Casey watched J.J. and Joe and I went to see Oceans Twelve.I can't believe I actually had a date with my husband. It was very nice to be out with just him. Oh, I didn't tell you the other day Daddy, Erin, me, and Stephanie went to see Phantom of The Opera. You would have loved it. J.J. once again is amazing everyone. And today we are going to Laredo for daddy's side for Christmas. I think that it is going to be very different this year. At least I hope. The only good thing that came out of 2004 was J.J. Well I must go and get ready to leave but like always I love you and miss you always and forever.-A

My darling daughter, I have been sitting here rereading all the sympathy cards we have received. It is simply overwhelming. A lot of people I work with have watched you grow up, get married and have 3 beautiful children and now a darling grandson.Cindy, I just can't believe that you are gone, I want to hold you and hug you so bad. I don't know what to do. Yet, I know you are not in any pain anymore and that is a saving grace, but I want you home. I love you so much. Mom

Hey momma, well it has been two weeks already. I just doesn't seem fair. I feel like you are just in Chicago. I wish you were. J.J. keeps rolling over. He has done alot of things since you have been gone. I really think that you are telling him to do all this to get everyone through it. We also got him the highchair that you wanted for him and he sat in it and ate sweet potatoes for the first time. And I swear that he said 'HI'. That is alot of stuff to do in one week all on his own and that it why I think that you are working in mysterious ways. Grandma is right Daddy was so strong at your service. I finally broke down after being so strong all week. I just couldn't and still haven't let you go. I will let you get back to work on making your grandson the smartest baby in the world. I love you and miss you always and forever.-A

I can't tell you how much I miss you. I keep thinking I can call you and you will be there. I have always had to be so strong for everything, but I don't know how to in this. Cleared away all the Christmas stuff today hoping that will help. I know you are at peace and not hurting anymore and that is a blessing to all of us. I would rather you be here and sleeping than not here at all. Except that I don't want you to suffer any more. I know you heard Eddie at your service, he was wonderful. I cannot tell you the people who have remarked to me what a wonderful sermon he gave regarding his love for you; it was really dynamic. Everyone at the service was in awe at him speaking. I love you.

Cindy,

I love you so much.

It still doesn't seem like you're really gone. Every time my cell phone rings, I think its you calling to check on me. Or that you're in the bedroom asleep and you'll come out any minute.

I did the best I could to take care of you because I know that you counted on me. I feel that there should have been something I could have done to have helped you, but I don't know what.

Anyway, it's Christmas Day and I miss you. I'll do the best I can to get through this. I'll take care of the kids and make sure that I do everything I can to help them deal with all of this.

I Love You Always,

Eddie

Hey momma, today is Christmas and you guessed it my birthday. It just isn't the same without you. Yesterday didn't seem the same either. Daddy gave me my Christmas and birthday cards and still signed your name. I am happy about that. I really don't want anything to change. But, I guess it has to. I miss you more today than ever. But I am sure that I am going to have days like that. We came over to yall's house this morning like we always do. And we are going to grandma's this afternoon. My cake turned out so good with the pic of you and J.J. on it. I wish you were here, but I guess that you can't be. Merry Christmas. I miss you and love you very much forever and always.-A

My Dearest Daughter, well it is 1:00 am on Amy's birthday. I remember 22 years ago getting a call that our Christmas dinner would be delayed because you had to go to the hospital in labor. I wish I knew what happened, I cannot understand why Our Lord felt he needed you - we need you here with us. I want so much to hold you in my arms and give you a hug and kiss. I know you are not hurting any more and you did not suffer at the last, and I wouldn't wish your suffering on you again, but I want you back. It just seems like a bad nightmare. I love you so much. I can't bring myself to make the fruitcake - it was your favorite, but Dad wants one so I suppose I will make one eventually. Rest my dear sweet one. Mother

Hey momma, Well today is daddy's birthday. We didn't know what to do b/c you usually take care of the plans for everyone's birthdays. Mine is coming up on Saturday and grandma is getting a cake for me with a picture of you holding J.J. when he was only like 10 hours old. I miss you more than you coiuld ever imagine. I still don't really think that we have gone back to our normal life yet. Sometimes I just sit here and wait for you to call me or I pick up the phone to call you, but as dad says you are now in a different area code. It sucks b/c I feel like a piece of me is missing. And you are missing so much of J.J.'s life. I wish that yall would have had more time together. I find myself being mad at you for leaving us so early. We didn't have enough time with you. I wonder how people make it through these kinds of things? I am trying to be tough for everyone. I just wish that you could tell us what happened to you. We all miss you and would give anything to have you back with us. Well I must go and pick up dad's cake. Erin is going to cook tonight and hopefully we can enjoy it somewhat. I love you always-A

My Dearest Daughter, well another day has gone by, I just feel like you are sleeping another migraine off. I cannot comprehend that God has taken you from us. I know you are in good hands, but my hands and arms were good too. I want so much to go over to your house and see you, we had such a good time the other Saturday, when we went out for dinner, just you and me. I know in my heart that you are not hurting anymore and that you are with some of our loved ones and being well taken care of, I can't help but feel jealous because they have you and I don't. I keep wondering what I could have done to prevent this from happening. I should have tried harder. I love you so very much. Mom

My Dearest Daughter, there is no pain as bad as losing a child. I love you so very much. I do not understand why God felt that he needed you at this particular time in life. My life will never be the same. My only consolation is that you are no longer in pain and you did not suffer the last few days. Somehow I know you are watching all of us and always remember we love you more than words can tell. Your Dad and I cherish you and your brother - what a wonderful family you brought into this world. The wonderful times we had, the laughs we shared, shall always be in my heart. Rest my darling child, for no more will you have to suffer the pain you have had these last years. Your loving Mother.

Hey mommy, today is your services and I think that we did ok yesterday. There are no words to describe what we are feeling. If only you could answer why. But we will find out soon enough. Not much else to say right now because I think that I am still in shock. But I love you and will see you this afternoon. -A

We are having your viewing tomorrow and services on Saturday, so I will see you then. We all would give anything to have you back with us. I just hope that you know that. I love you-A
