The sky is so clear, the bright little sliver of moon is in just the right position to resemble a smily face, I like to think of it as you and Todd smiling down on me :-) I love you both so very much, my words cannot express how much I miss you both, my sons
You are forever and always in my heart and thoughts. xoxo

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Hey Ed, xoxo, so much going on here since my last post. I went out to see my dad for his 92nd b/day, he was pleased, we had a nice small party for him. You were his first grand child, you have his middle name, that always pleased him.
It's almost spring time here, which is very nice, I don't like the cold weather, you didn't either. Amazing how the days seem to go by so quickly at times, yet the missing you guys seem to linger on and on.
Lisa and I went out to visit you both today, I always hope you feel our presence, was a beautiful day. There were some new roses there for you Ed :-), I added them to the new flowers Lisa and I brought.
We are still trying to get the house back in order, wheww, almost a year now, that doesn't seem possible either.
I will be out again this weekend, it is almost Todd's b/day and I have more personel things to tell you both.
I love you Ed and Todd, I miss you both so very much and I guess I will always wonder why.
OH, I did have a new idea about Heaven, I will share that with you both this weekend.
Goodnite for now my sons, wishing as always I could give you a hug and feel yours. I am seeing your faces in my mind and I smile, I hear your voices, as my heart breaks over an over again. And oh how I hope you feel my constant love.

Hi Ed, Here it is Feb.6th already, so hard to believe, and still missing you just as much if not more. Seems I am finding it more and more difficult knowing I will never see you or hear from you again.
We are still trying to get the house back in order, and I often want to pick up the phone and ask your advice. Wishing you could see the changes. Perhaps you both can.
We've had some wicked cold weather lately, I don't care for it at all. I am still planning on going to visit my dad for his b/day. I plan to get out to visit you and Todd this weekend as usual, then I can fill you in on everything.
Goodnite my two sons, I love you and miss you terribly. Hoping you feel my love. xoxoxo

Goodnite my sons, my babies.... You are sleeping with God and the angels now. :-)
My heart will always ache for you both, the big hole in my heart will remain until I see you again.
I found the Dragon Fly story again today, somehow it gives me some comfort.
Nite nite, I miss you both much more then my words can ever express.

I will just say goodnite, it's winter here now, I have to hope and pray you are both in the warm hands of God. I look at the stars and the moon every night, I try to see your smiles, your faces, your voices are forever in my mind and my heart. I will alway love you, I will always miss you, everyday of my life, you are my babies. I will always and forever WISH for one more day, or hour, sooo very much I want to say.

Well Ed, here it is Jan. 7th :-(, you left us 1 year, 1 day 7 hrs. ago. it still doesn't seem real. I still catch myself wanting to call you for one reason or another, then realize I can't. I did that with Todd for quite a few years.
I had a good visit with you and Todd yesterday, very emotional as always, yet nice, I feel so close to you both there, the weather was lovely, the Christmas flowers etc. are beautiful. I always wonder if you can feel my presence? I pray you can! As it helps to keep my faith and helps me get by.
Dad and I are doing OK health wise, Dad still sees the Dr. every other week. The other kids and grands are doing well, Travis is in college now, wow.
The house work is coming along,.. slowly... has been a long haul, but getting there. Had a bad leak in the spare room, that is currently getting repaired. We had a new gate put in yesterday, looks alot better then the old one, but I sortof miss the squeak the old one made. ;-)
I will be going to my dad's next month for his 92nd birthday. Dad will be here taking care of all the animals.
I probably told you both all of this yesterday during my visit.
We hung up the memorial wind chimes I ordered for you and Todd. I like them very much. I have the memorial candle in the den :-)
The Gators are playing for the National Champs tomorrow nite in South Fl.
I am getting teary eyed again now, so I will log off, wishing I could see you again, hear your voice and give you a big hug. Hopefully that will happen some day.
Goodnite for now Ed and Todd, praying you feel my love!! I miss you both soooo very much. xoxox

December 28, 2008
Some people say that you are watching over us, is that true? Can you really feel my love? I truly hope you both can. That is what keeps me going. But my many many regrets? You and I had talked about doing things differently, but>> we never got around to it, and that will haunt me forever Ed.
Today was a very strong day, very strong, I heard your voice, heard your bird call, I tried again, but no luck, :-(..I heard you singing, and saw your smile. Brings me some comfort, but, I have cried all day. I MISS you!! I saw your humming bird feeder outside, I see the hanger you made for the dog leash, even where you hung your hammer. I see the left over tile, not to mention the tile that I walk on every day! I can see you repairing dad's shower, and u were SO very sick, but>> WE never knew, and for that>> I will always blame myself!! Why didn't we see that Ed? I have asked myself that a million times. Why?
I will be out to see you both tomorrow, I will tell you both so much more.
Good nite for now Ed and Todd, I miss you both sooo very much, I do not know the words to express. Please feel my love..

December 25, 2008
Well Edward, here it is almost the end of Christmas Day, remembering all of us being with you last Christmas, it was a good day.
So today was quite difficult, the visit with you and Todd today was very sad for me, but I feel so much closer to you there, beautiful weather, all the flowers there were lovely. At times it seems the year went by so slowly, other times it seems it went quickly, I can't explain that. I know I was dreading Christmas knowing it would bring back memories of you being so sick, and now 2009 is just days away, so will soon be a year since you left us. Still does not seem real.
I will be out again in a couple days, so much more I want to tell you both that I can't say here. I want to tell you about the very nice memorials I have bought for myself recently.
We all went over to Lisa's yesterday, as we always have, was very different without you.
I am going to log off now, as I can hardly see the words I am typing I miss you both so very very much, I love YOU.
Rest well my two sons, I carry you both in my heart and thoughts every single day. Sending all my love. Good night for now. xoxo

Ohh Ed and Todd, I am teary eyed now, December .... xox, the Memorial at Hospice was so very nice :-). Cassondra, Rick and I were there, it had rained all day, but :-) was clear for the lighting of the tree. Hmmm, God works in very mysterious ways, right? It was lovely, we had a picture of you both for the display table. There were 3 beautiful trees with ribbons and lights. The ribbons had your names on them, Cassondra spotted the first one, it was Todd's, Rick spotted yours Ed... I am in tears now, thinking about not ever seeing you again, not hearing your voices, not getting a hug or a kiss. Your fried turkey, Whewww Not to mention that this time last year most of us were with you Ed, in the hospital. I have at times not wanting to go on with anything, but>> I feel I have to> for Cassondra, Lisa, Travis, Kaitlyn, Rick, Bernadette, London :-) they are so precious, but, I have a very deep hole in my heart that will NEVER mend. I will never be the same.
I am starting to remember all the good times we had together, the laughs, the songs, your animal sounds,shopping, going to the movies ( gosh how I miss them) the work we did. :-) Todd playing the piano, you and I singing :-) ohhhh gosh, some of this brings a smile, some>> I cry,
Ed,did I tell you that several of us have tried to make your sound.?? Well none of us can, :-( not even my spoiled rotten bird that only you could get him to do, the same whistle the you would call for Cassondra and me in the stores, but... I will never ever forget it Ed..
I orderd a few things for myself, in remberance of you both, a chain that I always wear, and wind chimes.
I can't bring myself to send Christmas Cards this year, NOR can I decorate, cause all I can think about is YOU doing it all last year, and you were soooo very ill.
Oops, I am babbling again, I will say nite nite for now, I can't say goodnite, no night is good anymore..
I love you Ed, I love you Todd, I MISS you both soooo very very much.. xoxoxoxo
Oh yeah, I need a new sign from you both OK?? I know you can do it.
Sending my love, hugs, as always, I just pray you both feel it..
Mom
December 8, 2008
Oh Ed, here I am again, so much to say and yet not knowing where to start. My thoughts have been racing for days now. Its so very hard to believe that it is well into December now, I think about us shopping last year. Goodness you sure loved to go shopping, you were like a little kid in a candy store. :-)
Gosh there is so much to tell you and Todd tomorrow, I want to tell you about Venus and Jupiter, I want to tell you about the Gators winning the SEC again, Tebow is really something. I will tell you both about the work still going on here, but from what I hear, you already know it all. I pray that is true.
Everyone here is doing OK, other then missing you both terribly!! We take it One Day At A time these days. Sometimes an hour at a time.
Rick, Cassondra and I, and maybe a few others will go to the Christmas tree lighting at Hospice this Thursday night, we have a picture of you both in a pretty frame for the display table.
We all miss you so very much, you are always and forever in our hearts and minds. You are still my babies.
I will be out tomorrow.
I love you and miss you both so very much !!! My prayer now is that you both know. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Goodnight my two boys!!

November 29, 2008
Hey Ed, sending my love and hugs as always. We did the usual for Thanksgiving yesterday, wow, it was rough, we missed you terribly!! But we got thru. it. This time of year is sooo very difficult Ed and Todd, I am sortof in a daze. Just doesn't seem real at times, at other times its to very very real. :-(
I have so much more to tell you both this weekend. I look here on your page everynight Ed, sometimes I type, sometimes I don't. But for sure I look xox...
I haven't heard from Annie in sometime now, I guess she has stayed in NY. I think I told you that my dad moved in with my sister, he was sad about leaving his home of course, but he is doing ok. I will go visit them for his b/day next year. Our friend R. will be here tomorrow to help me in the house, we are still trying to clean up here, hmmm has been 6 months at least. That too was a nightmare.
I will say g'nite for now Ed and Todd, I will be out to vist this weekend. Nov. 29th already :-(.. Know what I mean Ed?
I love you Ed, I love you Todd, Not an hour goes by without thinking of you. I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call to tell or ask sometimes.
Goodnite to you both, I always hope and pray you can feel my love.
Hugs and more hugs. xoxoxoxoxox

So many things I am trying to figure out, seems like the twilight zone.
But on a better note, we went to an art show tonight, our first time, many nice people. We left early because my feet were giving me a fit> I don't wear REAL shoes anymore, if you remember, ;-)... and my shoulder pads kept sliding down.. Yikes... but dad was ready to leave anyway, so it worked out OK. Oh Eddie and Todd,there is so much more I have to tell you both Sunday. Some good, some not so good.
Dad and I are doing OK as far as the health issue.
Todd's words keep coming to mind, wow! He was so right!! Unreal really.. That was so many years ago. ( 14 ) I think you remember.
I watch the moon and stars everynight, well when we have a clear sky. I send my love then, my thoughts and my prayers to you both. ( I try to leave my pain in the house)
Ohhh did I tell you that I am planning to go to Dallas in Feb. for my dad's 92nd birthday? He is there with my sister now. He is still doing OK.
I will go to bed now, I keep hearing your words about that. ;-)
I love you both, I miss YOU soooo very much!!! And always hoping you both feel that :-).. Wishing I could hug YOU!!
For some reason I keep thinking about the Waterbug story tonight.

November 12, 2008

November 9, 2008
Wow Ed, here it is well into Nov. Doesn't seem possible, does it? Time passes for fast, yet some things never end. At times I feel it was only yesterday.
I am trying to keep a grip on things Ed, but its so very difficult right now. Everything we went thru. is so very vivid on my mind.
As you know, so much is going on here, the things I tell you when I come out to visit, so much easier there.
At times I have the feeling that I can't breathe, the pain in my chest and heart is so very heavy. I can't even imagine what you were feeling Ed. The pain, the fear, the unknown. And WHY?
Only YOU and God knows how much I Miss and Love you, my many many deep regrets.
I have our memories of the good times Ed :-), your watch chime, yet... I want more.
I will say goodnite for now Ed and as always I will fill you in on what you probably already know when I come out to see you both. I love you both so very much!!! I pray you both know that, I only live hoping and praying that you do.
xoxox. sending my love to you both.

I will always wish for one more hour.... so much we left unsaid, but we both felt it, it all just happened to fast Ed.

You boys have to help me get thru. this, ok? Please.

Oh Ed. the dog is crazy, xox... I remeber you telling me ;-) she's gotten a little chubby, even tho. we walk her 5 - 6 times a day:-) she loves to chase the squirrles as always, seems like she would learn she can't catch them ;-), but she keeps trying..

I am somewhat upset tonight Ed, I sent a message here to you both last night, but evidently I clicked a incorrect key and I guess it didn't get sent :-(
I was telling you about your beautiful daughter and her job, she is happy and really likes her job.
I told you about dad's retirement and the very nice party.
I will tell you both about everything this weekend, as I am tired now, has been a long busy day.
I miss you guys sooooo very much, I look at your pictures everyday!! I think about the good times we had. It's the pain you both went thru. that haunts me.
OK ok, I will stop, I'll cya this weekend.

Just me saying goodnite, playing my game here and hearing your watch chime. there is always sooo very much I want to tell you Ed and Todd, I want to type it all out, but I wait until I visit you. I feel a need to type my love to you both, I feel a need to tell you how very much I miss you!!!
I am working on a few things Ed. I will keep you posted, for sure. My heart aches with the pain of not seeing you, not hearing you, but, I do hear your voices in my mind. I always will, the times you were here telling me to go to bed. ;-)
This election stuff is making me nuts, I can just hear your thoughts on that, LOL...
Goodnite my sons, I miss you both much more then words can ever express!
And as always> I wish for one more hour with you!! Just one more hour!
And yep, I still wonder why Ed!!.
Sending my love, my hugs, I do hope you both feel it :-)
Mom
August 17, 2008
Oh Ed, so much to tell you tomorrow, just in the last few days.
I will say this> the workers are gone, well at least for now. 3 months of it was making me nuts, ;-) u know how I can be, lol.
Things are shaping up, finally, but I will tell you all about it tomorrow when I come out to visit you and Todd.
I had a very interesting phone call from one of your Marine buddies that I will tell you about, which leads to phone calls on my part Monday morning.
Your baby girl is doing Ok, she has a good job now, but once again I will tell you all about it and everything tomorrow, I have sooo much to tell you both.
I love you Ed and Todd, and miss you both constantly each and every day!!
So until tomorrow my sons. Always hoping you can feel my love, my thoughts, but never my pain.xoxox

August 8, 2008
Wow, so very hard to believe that another month has gone by Edward, 7 months now, it still doesn't seem real, I still wonder why. I think I always will. You know Ed that I do not say all here in the book, but yet, I feel such a need. I tell you everything on my visits to you, and I feel you know my thoughts and hear my words and feel my love while I am there. Sometimes I think I know what you want to say to me, to all of us. There was just so many things left unsaid, there was just so little time, I will always regret that Ed. But for sure> I will never forget the last few words we said to each other. I relive those words every day!! I try to find some comfort. I will always wish for just one more hour with you, I used to wish for one more day. (Your watch just chimed), totally amazing.
I will tell you more when I come out to visit you and Todd. I feel you both already know.
I LOVE you, I miss you every day!!!!
Praying that you feel my love, but not my pain. xoxo...

July 26, 2008
I keep thinking I am having a terrible nightmare Ed, we are having a very difficult time coming to terms with the fact that we won't see you again in this life, even tho I hear your voice, see your face almost every hour of every day. But you already know all that. I tell you each visit. I will be out tomorrow again to visit.
I met another of your plumber friends the other day, I told you about him when I came out to visit you. I told you also that I thought the workers would be finished up here today, but>> nope, at least one or more days next week.
I always wonder if you and Todd can feel my visits to you both, sometimes I feel you both can, sometimes not. I wonder if you both are really in paradise, maybe I am losing my faith. If you are not in paradise with God, then what? I keep thinking about the dragon fly, water bug story and that keeps me going as well as the chime from your watch.
Cassondra misses you Ed, as do I, so very very much! I will be out to visit you both tomorrow as usual. I can say so much more there.
I will say goodnite now, missing you both so very much, I love you Ed and Todd I pray you both know that.
Cya tomorrow xoxoxoxox

July 15, 2008
Hi Eddie, it's me, Annie again, I am back in town for a short while. I think of you every day Eddie, I miss you every day, I still love you! even tho you never really knew that. You will always be in my heart Eddie, always!! As well as your jokes, your humor, Your smile, Dang I miss everthing about YOU!! And you were so very good with your hands, building things that is, and more.....
I love you Eddie, I will never forget you, you were one of a kind.
Mom
July 6, 2008
Hey Eddie :), I love you!! I miss you!Dangit, Here it is July 4th already, just does not seem possible, right at 6 months since you left us. I still can't believe that you are gone from our sight. But never EVER from our thoughts or from our hearts. Dang I miss you so very much!
Cassondra misses you also Ed, she misses Todd also. She has been thru. alot in her short lifetime.
She went on a interview yesterday, she looked so nice, I know you felt proud of her. She thought she did well :), Keeping fingers crossed :-) She's on a camping trip now, with Tim's parents, she enjoys that. They have been dating over a year now. hmmm, she thinks she is in love. Your little girl is grown up now. Where did the time go?
Life goes by so quickly and yet at times so slowly. Gosh how I miss you Ed, and Todd. I just want to talk to both of you again, laugh sing, and just hang out. A little hug when we part.
Ok ok, I am holding back my tears now, I will just fill you in on the progress here at home> Leo came by today, I guess he will finish up the 'check list', the other guys left us hanging, we had paid them in full, and to much, they never came back back to finish up. Dad says we have bad luck , hmmm. I always said these condo's were built on an indain burial ground.
Dad is doing much better, he says he feels better on the new medication, so thats very good.
I will be out to see you both today, I feel so much closer to you both there, and can say so much more then I can here. I love you Ed and Todd and my heart aches for you both every single day! I hope and pray that you feel my love and my thoughts, but, who knows? I don't think the dragonfly did, but again> who knows? I just have to hope and pray that you both do, I think that is what keeps me going. Just you both knowing and feeling my love.
Oh yes, and I will always wish for just one more hour. I want to turn back the clock. Your watch still chimes Ed, that is totally awesome. A lost watch that doesn't work.
I love you and miss you both so much more then my words can ever express. I hope you feel my love, my hugs, lets try to remember the good times, I think of ALL the times, a constant replay over and over and over. If only love and wishes could change things.
xoxo. Goodnite my sons, I love YOU!!

I know my pain will end, and I also know it will NOT end in my lifetime, but>> someday, I have to believe that it will, when I can see you both again, when we can talk, when we can hug each other once again. I know God holds you both in his loving hands always and forever, as I do in my heart and thoughts always and forever,ALWAYS, never a day goes by. I love you guys. xo

Well here I am again Ed, missing you both so very much! I watched a movie tonight Ed, sure made me think of you!! But then again so very many things do. Almost everything I do. It was about life and death and THOUGHTS! I never really knew your thoughts Ed, other then Cassondra, her life, her future. I don't know your favorite color or number, I didn't know how you felt about alot of things, once again my shame and my regrets. We talked all the time, but>>>>> we never REALLY talked. My guilt and my regrets will haunt me Ed. I will tell you more about the movie this weekend.
I love you Ed and Todd, I miss you both so very much, much more then my words can express. I am still asking "Where is God when it hurts"

Hey Eddie :), I wasn't planning on writing tonight, but while walking the dog at almost midnight, I heard your voice so very cleary! It was amazing!!, I heard the very last words we said to each other, oh yes, I have heard them in my mind many times, but NEVER as vivid as I did tonight. Seemed strange to me, it was as if you were right here with me. I looked around, and you were not there :( But I felt a connection.
There is just so much I never said Ed, as I am sure there is so much you never said, but>> I think we both knew.. I think our last 3 words to each other said it all>> wheww at least I hope!!!
I remember how much you liked to walk the dog :) she loved you and you loved her, and how I was so glad that you did. Little things mean so very much now, I wonder why they didn't at the time? Life passes by and we wonder where it all went. Its the little things that matter. We just don't know at the time. It's all the things I have told you before.
I am reading a book now, " Where is GOD when it hurts", by Philip Yancey, I have to hope and pray it helps me get thru this constant unbearable pain Ed. Also one " How to survive the loss of a loved one"
If anyone reads these words> cherish every moment with your loved ones, EVERY word, every look, make a video, a recording, cause you never know what may happen >>> * (Judy taught me that) I know now that she loved you Ed. Life can be very short, we lose the ones we love and all we have is memories in our minds. Ohhh how I wish I had more visual memories of you Ed! So you see why I wish for " Just one more day"? well>> at this point I wish for just one more hour!! Wishes never happen, even tho. the song says " A wish is what your heart makes"
I am sorta smiling now Ed, remembering how you told me to go to bed if I was on the computer to late at night playing my game. ( so for your info Ed, I am not playing games much anymore). so there!! LOL .. I guess I will say goodnite for now, I will visit you tomorrow, I can talk so much more freely to you and Todd there. I LOVE you Ed!!! I MISS you!! I LOVE you Todd, I MISS you! I know you are both with God now :) and that is good! But>> where is God when I hurt so very much?
Goodnite my sons, I love and miss you both

Just saying goodnite to you both, I love you Ed and Todd, I miss YOU both so very much, there are just NO words to express it. It's a Mom thing I guess.
I could go on and on as I sometimes do, but I won't, I will just send all my love, hugs. You are both in my thoughts and heart always! Your bright lives are gone from our sight now, but YOU are never ever forgotten. Not for a day!
And yes, I will tell you both more this weekend. I miss you!! I love you!! AOYP and roses.

Father's day now, Oh Ed, your baby girl is lovely and she misses you!! As we all do. Seems so unreal Ed, I still can't come to terms with you being gone, I feel sure she can't. You and she wanted to see May 29th. You wanted to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day someday. Sometimes there is no peace Ed, the clock keeps ticking, the days, the months pass, your watch chimes,:), but yet, sometimes no peace. The deep pain goes on and on. I know that you and I have long ago forgiven each other, soooo why do I hurt so very much? Why do I miss you so so very much? I know you are both safe and out of pain now, both of you. I know you both loved me, I know you still do, as I do you both. So VERY much, Yet I hurt!! Seems everything I do, whatever I do, wherever I go reminds me of you. Shopping in the grocery store of all places, the dept. stores ( that you both loved,) while I cook, clean. Play with the bird and dog, you guys are always in my thoughts and heart! ALWAYS!! Your face, voice, laugh, and you singing Ed
The summer birds are back Ed, as well as the squirrels, Kahlua still tries to catch the squirrels, I know you remember Ed. I can still hear your voice laughing at her and telling her to GO ;) she stalked and tried, but>> she never did, she still tries. I keep moving the bird seed as the dang sprinklers always get it soaked :-( I have needed you both so many times, there are so many times I wish I could call you. A few times I have said " Where are they when I need them".. You guys were so young and you were to look after me in my old age, mom's babies are just not to go before us, yet>> u both did and I have to TRY to deal with it. Not sure that I am tho. Not sure I ever will.
We will be out to see you both tomorrow, well today really, I can always say more to you both then. I never want you to feel the deep void, the constant pain, CONSTANT. But always feel my LOVE, my hugs and presence. Ooops, many tears now, soooo nite nite for now, cya tomorrow. I LOVE YOU!! And of course I will always WISH for just ONE more day!! Just ONE more, I beg!!!
Maybe a 'call'?? Another sign? You both know I am not the most believing, BUT you both know I need more assurance
Sending my love, hugs and AOYP

Your baby girl and all the kids are home safe and sound Ed :) whewww thank the good lord! I know you both were and are watching over her. As God always is. He always is:-)
You, Todd and I had a good vist Sunday, I actually felt your presence Ed, :) I had so much to tell you both that I can only say personally to you, I have to admit, I felt you both so close to me for the first time! I heard your voices, I saw your smiles. I felt your love, Was sooo very wonderful!! Was beautiful, Right there on the spot, was AWESOME, I cried of course but....was somewhat peaceful. I was with both of you, holding you! And believe it or not, your watch still chimes, wowww, that is really amazing :) thank you Ed, I KNOW you did that for me, I love you too!! xox I also told you about one of my messages here, I am sure you know:-( Big boo boo on my part huh? Even I make mistakes, LOL.. ;) Oh yes, I know you are saying that MOM does not make mistakes ;) :D
Hmmm...
Your chime just chimed :), so I will say goodnite to you both, gosh how I miss both of YOU!!
I still have so much more to say to you both, in person this week. I wonder if my heart will ever heal? Even with all your help and love that I feel from you both.
Goodnite my sons ... gosh how I miss YOU both!! I LOVE you Ed and Todd, I know you know that, but.... I still wish for ONE more day! Just ONE more day!
Oh and Ed, I am sooooo very sorry!!, words cannot begin to express.........Only you knows what that means...

Your watch chime just went off Edward, its now June 6th, another month has passed. Seems like a really bad dream that just goes on and on. Everything is just so vivid and no escape. I MISS YOU!!!
But moving right along>> As I wipe my tears and look at both of your pictures.
Can you believe your baby girl is on her senior trip this week, they left yesterday, I talked to her for a few minutes tonight, she said they were having fun :), Josh and Peyton were with her. They will be back Sunday evening.
Dad had another biopsy today, he said he was sore this time, we will get the results next week.
The workers will be here again on Monday to finish up, over a month of it. They do a little fishing out back, that is tearful for me, as I see you out there, one of the guys is so much like you.
They finally picked up the dumpster yesterday, it was LOADED, hmmm, wonder what that will cost.
Ohhh guess what> I am going to take Kahlua to doggie school again :), she will be in middle school now. She is doing good, but I can tell she still misses you, she still tries to catch the squirrels, really funny.
I moved the bird bath, between the 2 drive ways, darn sprinkler messes up the bird seed tho. I will get a feeder for the tree.
I will be out to see you both on Saturday, I MISS YOU and LOVE YOU both so very much. Life seems so unfair at times, I guess we will all know WHY someday.
Goodnite my two angels, sending all my love and hugs as always. I pray you both can feel it.

She looked so beautiful as she walked across the stage, so confident and so proud. We were all so proud of her Edward, as I know you were, we all prayed that you would see her on this night, but I have to feel you did. Your baby girl graduated from high school tonight!! She wore the top that you bought her for Christmas :) and she mentioned that to me, I assured her that you knew this was her big night and that you were with her. We were ALL there for her Ed,Dad, Lisa, George, Travis, his g/friend Logan, Kaitlyn, Rick, Bernadette, London, Tim and his parents were there also, that made me feel very good, I thanked them for you and me, they are very nice people, I like them. They told me that dad and I did a good job. Hats off to us huh? :) Dixie drove down from South Carolina with the 2 boys, she is just as pretty as ever. Derise, Matt, Shelby and the baby was there also :) her name is Lily, she looks like Matt. It was a lovely graduation. Only about 60 kids, the school is having major problems, which is very sad. I hope they get it resolved.
Tomorrow night is Travis's big night, graduation!! :) He will be going to UNF in August, living in the dorms. About 500 kids will be graduating from his school, wowww. Of course we will all be there for him also. The 'kids' have grown up Ed, Travis is so very handsome, very smart and talented, Kaitlyn and London are beautiful and talented. They have changed so much since you saw them last. They are young adults now.
Cassondra will be going on her senior trip next week, I pray for her safety. I know you will be looking out for her :) Gosh how I miss you Edward, I could feel my eyes filling up with tears tonight, but I held them back until I was alone at home.
Lisa took some great pictures, maybe she can add a few here in the guest book, that would be nice. She is so computer savvy, she amazes me... The video she made is awesome Ed :), she spent many many hours on it.
Tim has a mohawk, with spikes, you would love it. I didn't think I would, but it looks OK. :) Josh, Kelsey, Peyton also graduated tonight, just to mention a few that you knew.
The overhaul here is almost complete, has taken a little longer then expected, but its shaping up, another 3 days maybe, then will take me weeks to get things back in order. It looks nice, clean and fresh. Cassondra said she would help us. We are doing OK Ed, so no need for you and Todd to worry, you guys just keep on keeping on :), doing what you enjoy being in paradise with God and all the other loved ones and friends. As always I am sending my love and hugs, wishing I could give you both a goodnight hug, I do that in my thoughts. And yep, my heart is breaking again right now, but I know you are both happy and out of pain, and I know you both feel my love!! But never the pain, God has taken care of that. I will continue to miss you both terribly as long as I walk this earth, and I long for the day to hug you both again.
Goodnight my boys, I will be out to see you Saturday or Sunday, as there is always much more I want to tell you both in private. I still hear your voices, your laughter, I see your faces before me right now!! And>> as always, I am still wishing for " Just one more day"

Hi Eddie, this is Annie, remember me? I dialed your cell phone last night, it was disconnected, I called you mom tonight,she told me what had happened, I wish I had known you were so ill, but she said she did not even know. I will always remember you Eddie, I will always miss you, we had many fun times and you always worked so hard, Remember the repair work on my porch? :) that was a hoot, you almost lost a foot, and heck you only had one good arm at the time, but you never gave up! You were one in a million Eddie, I will love you and miss you always.
My love and my love to your mom and family

Wondering who the CREW is, but very nice they thought of you :)Maybe they will contact me.
I sit here every nite, wondering where to start, sometimes I do, sometimes I just sit and think, wishing I could make sense of all of this. I wonder why the pain I feel is so different between you two boys, will soon be 14 years for my first loss, :(, that does not seem possible Todd. I miss you as much today!! And Ed, will soon be 5 months, totally unreal! I find myself picking up the phone to ask you or tell you both something. Sometimes I have to ask " Where is Ed"? Makes no sense to me. So unexpected!
But what does make sense is, I still hear your voices, singing, playing the piano, and you Ed, trying to play the guitar, I see your smiles :-), I smile, and I cry. I still ask " Why". Hurts me terribly that you both will miss the graduations of the kids, just does not seem possible, does it, wow, they are grown now.
I will be out to visit you both again tomorrow, so much I want to say to you both, some I can say here, some I can't. I think you both know that anyway.
My thanks again to Mary and Jim :), Lisa, Rick and Bernadette for all the help, and to all of you that have thought of Ed and Todd :), Thank you!
I love you Ed and Todd, always have, always will. I pray that I will know you both again :) xox night nite my sons, I pray you feel my love but not my pain... HUGSSSS

Edward,I know that you know my thoughts, you know how much I miss you, you know how I wish I could have helped you more, and above all, I know you knew I loved YOU!! You were King Kong Eddie, what happened?? Michelle said you were the man with 9 lives...but finally met his match. Maybe that is true Ed, but NONE of us were ready for this, not yet.. I KNOW that you feel and know what I am saying, I will go into more detail this weekend when I come out to see you and Todd on Memorial Day weekend. Gosh Ed, there are so many things I want to ask you, you leaving us was just not supposed to happen, you tried so hard to get by, to see your baby girl graduate from high school, she and Travis graduate this week. Wow, doesn't seem possible does it? I know you will be with her, and she will have YOU in her thoughts also Ed.
I never thought I could miss you so very much, but I DO..
You were my first born, and my heart aches more then my words can express. There are so many things I wish we could undo, like delete, but... :-(
I love YOU Ed and I still get the chimes :)
I love YOU BOTH and miss YOU!!

May 18, 2008
Oh Edward, Edward, I have so much to tell you and Todd when I come out tomorrow. I don't even know where to start now, as there is so much I won't say here.
I will tell you that Steve came by yesterday, that was a shock, but, guess what?? The faucet is still leaking, hmmmm... I will tell you all about it tomorrow.
I miss you both soooo very much, seems I miss you more and more as days go on. My thoughts and emotions will have to wait until tomorrow, I feel you both know. OH and Ed :-), your watch still chimes, wow, that is awesome, thank you son, even tho. it makes me cry, it also lets me know that you and Todd are together with our other loved ones and most of all you are both safe, and out of pain, I do feel some comfort in that, but>>>> my heart aches more then I can express.
I will tell you both tomorrow. I love you guys, there is just so much we don't understand, this pain is overwhelming. With that I will say goodnite, until tomorrow. AOYP as I know they are. xoxox Loving you, missing you

Another month has passed Eddie, I still can't believe I will never see you again, at times it seems you were just here repairing the shower, other times it seems you have been absent for so very long, makes no sense does it? I have so many questions and no answers, things I want to ask you and I can't. Things I wish I had said, and didn't. Things I wish I had done differently. Words cannot begin to express. I can only pray that you know. I love you son, I hope you can feel my love, but not my constant pain, not my tears.
We are going to start painting and putting in new flooring Friday. You and I were going to do that, we bought the flooring that you and I talked about. The same guy that finished the tile work is going to do it, I told you about him, he knew you and is the nephew of a old time friend of yours. Funny tho. he couldn't fix the popup in the sink, a plumber he is not.
I spoke with the lady further down that you built the deck for, she liked you very much, she said that you were so very nice and loved your humor, she said you were so talented, that her deck was a masterpiece, you were SO very good at what you did Ed. She misses you also, she has 2 little puppies now, so cute. Kahlua runs from them, not sure if its because there are 2 of them, but its funny.
I was looking thru. some old pictures again, sure brought back memories, and fresh tears, I am going to make a photo album for Cassondra. Hard to believe she graduates in a few weeks.
I hope you feel my presence when I come visit, that is my quiet time with you and I tell you so much more. We will be out to visit you and Todd again this week. I am getting very emotional now, so very much I want to say and tell you, I will wait till we come back out.
I love you Ed, I can only pray that you know that even now, I have to think you are well and happy, thats the only thing that keeps me going for the others. We all miss you and love you so very much.
Goodnite for now my sons.

Hey Ed, xoxo, I have had a little trouble logging in here for some reason.
I went out to see you guys again on Tuesday, all the flowers were still there as well as the other things, which was nice, and>> your name plate was there, wowww that was a very nice surprise, made me cry of course, but its perfect, oh Ed you would be pleased also. Still doesn't seem real that you have left our sights and ears. Your watch chime alarm is such a blessing, and how that happened is totally a miracle!!
You know how we talked about taking the carpet up? Well I think we are going to do it, sort of sad because you and I were going to do it. You were so excited about it. So you have to keep an eye out, make sure its done to your liking.
I am still having a difficult time doing everyday chores etc. I see you in everything I do, everywhere I go. I talked to Uncle Roger today, he said that was a good thing that I have good and happy memories and I do, but still makes me very sad. I just want you back!
I wonder if you and Todd are hanging out, I wonder if you know how much we miss you both? One thing I do know is>> that you are both safe, happy and pain free. I just want to hug you both again to hear you laugh and sing. I keep thinking about the Dragan fly, water bug story, so I know someday I will be able to hug you both again and have our little chats.
Cassondra and I will be out to see you both again on Saturday, I think Tim will be coming with us also. I will tell you more when we come out Saturday.
Gosh I MISS you!!
I MISS you both!! You are gone from us now, but>> never ever gone from our hearts and thoughts. God holds you in his hands, I hold you forever in my heart !! I love you! xoxoxox

April 12, 2008
Oh my dear Edward, xoxo I am having a extra rough time the past couple days, sealing the grout on the new bathroom tile floor, that you and I got at Fleming and Sons from Buddy. It looks nice, sure is a back breaking job, and I keep getting flash backs of you working on the shower pan and shower tile when you were so terribly ill, non of us knew just how sick you were, and its tearing me up. Looking back now I should have known, I am your mother! My regrets and guilt will forever be with me, your suffering and passing was, is, so senseless.
Ok, enough of that xoxo...
Jimmy and his helper have been here on and off the past week and a half, doing odd jobs as well as the bathroom floor, they replaced the bulkhead a couple days ago. They will hang the outside lights up next week, Remember the ones we bought at Lowes... Turns out Jimmy is the nephew of one of your oldest friends.
Oh gosh Ed, there is so much I want to tell you, so much I need to say, but not here son. I will tell you tomorrow when I go out to see you. xoxo
So for now I will log off, finish the sealing, and try to dry my tears.
I love you son, and I am soooo terribly sorry.
Sending my love and hugs, and still wishing!! xoxo

April 6, 2008
Hey Ed, xoxo words fail me when it comes to expressing how very much I miss you, but somehow I know that you are aware of that. 3 months today, just doesn't seem possible. Everywhere I go, everything I do, reminds me of you. ( I still can't turn the radio on), hard to grocery shop, hard to cook, even difficult to eat. You were so much a part of everything I do. We did all of those things and much more... I went out today to see you and Todd, it had rained, the grounds were lovely. Did you feel my presence, my love? I pray that you did. All of the flowers were still there :), I added a few more for you both, as well as a little something else. I am so eager to see your name plate Ed, I feel you would have chosen it for yourself. "Gone Fishin' on one side, a big mouth bass on the other, insp. reads, " Loving you, Missing you" That will be on Todd's also. And I DO love you AND miss you both! Life for me will never be the same, even tho. I try.
The past week has been so busy, dad and I both had medical tests done, results in a week or so....
Ohhh and guess what? Leo called the other day, he asked if there was anything I needed, he misses you to Ed. I asked if he had a good tile man, he did, he sent Jimmy out>> and Jimmy is a friends of yours :), cool huh? small world. soooo the tile work is finished, it looks nice, but>> it was sad, you wanted to get that done, Jimmy felt it was a divine intervention, he said he wanted the best for you. He felt that you were keeping an eye on him, making sure he did it just right. I feel you gave him your approval.
I told you the rest of the story today.
Everyone else here is OK Ed, other then missing you and Todd, but that will be an ongoing thing. And>> the forever asking question is WHY? Jane and Judy feel that you both gave then a reason, somehow I feel some comfort in that. But>> :( I try to feel comfort knowing you are both with God now, but, I will always long for just one more, to hear your whistle Ed, your voices, ( I hear them always in my mind) one more song, one more meal, shopping trip, one more smile, one more hug, and soooo much more. I still find myself wanting to call you on the phone. Will soon be 14 yrs, since Todd left us, and the longing lingers and lingers, you were both so different, so unique, and so good at what you did, you are both missed by so many, so loved.
Why do I babble on? I know you are with God in Paradise now, I guess I just have to feel close to you both... so >> I will try to sleep tonight with thoughts of you both.
I love you my sons you are gone from our sight, our ears, but never ever from my hearts and thoughts... the memories are awesome :)... we will laugh, hug, sing, cook, fish, shop, catch turtles, sometimes fuss, and even dance.... someday.................. sending my constant love and thoughts. I love you Ed and Todd, I still wish for One More Day.... xo

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

March 28, 2008
Here I am again Ed and Todd with a very heavy aching heart, as usual. I keep waiting for the time that losing you both will become easier with time, I don't think that will happen in my life time... ( Oh Ed, I just got your sign :), thank you son) Amazing how your watch chimes like that. It brings a smile> and tears.
Even tho I know that you are both happy, pain free and with God and loved ones and friends, I miss you so much, just knowing I can't see you, call you, hug you, never hear your voices, go shopping, movies, working in the yard, doing tile work, singing, cooking out, see what I mean? >> everything we did>> thats all gone now.
Well Ed your marker is on order, took me a long time to get it right, with Rick's, Bernadettes and Lisa's help :)... Your family and friends and friends will know that you have " Gone Fishin' " it also has a big mouth bass, with the inscription " loving you, missing you", has a rock border, looks like the Jettings, ( I hope I spelled that correctly) you were always the speller :)...
Dad is doing OK, he says he feels fine most of the time. He goes to work every day.
I am still very busy getting the dust bunnies cleaned up and cleaning up the garage.
I fried some fish tonight, sure wasn't as good as yours Ed. I wonder what's your secret. Hmm
Kahlua is sooo spolied now, I take her out at least 3 times a day, sometimes 4... she stalks the squirrels, its funny. Silly dog.
I gave the squirrel cage to Linda, you and I took the squirrels to the fort :), woww, so many memories.
Your lives were so short, not right for you both to leave us, WE are supposed to leave first, and that is why I still ask why? Why?
We all miss you both, much more then words can express, and we will always wish for just one more day....
I love you Ed and Todd, I miss you both soooo very much, it just doesn't seem possible.
I just hope and pray that I will be able to hug you both when I join you in paradise, I long to hear your voices, see your faces
Goodnite my sons, I am sending my constant love, hugs. I want you both back here with me

March 24, 2008
Hey Ed, xox I received a very sweet email from Judy, I was late in replying but I did that tonight, I will bring it to read to you later this week. I don't know if you remember Kellie and Tom from Nashville, you only saw them a few times, but we stay in touch, I sent them a copy of the video that Lisa made, she let me know that they received it and watched it, she thought it was nice, as everyone has.
Rick, Lucy, Ruthie and I went out to Oaklawn for the Sunrise service, very nice and peaceful, then stopped by to visit with you and Todd, I pray you both felt my presence. All the flowers were still there which did please me. Totally amazes me how people can take the flowers and other things.
I ordered your headstone today, I think you will like it. I will tell you about it later, in case I make changes tomorrow. Gosh Ed, how I miss YOU, still doesn't seem possible, everything just happened so quickly.
I find myself wanting to call and ask you something, then realize I can't, then the tears start. There are so many reminders of you here, such as the tile work, you were so very sick when you did the bathroom shower, and you so very much wanted to get the other done, the light fixtures you wanted to get up. So see... I will never forget you, you will always be in my heart and mind.
Good nite my sons, I am sending my constant love, wishing I could give you a hug. More later xoxoxo

We long for one more day when we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence... a quiet sadness... A longing for one more day... one more word... one more touch... We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.

I miss you both soooo very much, my heart aches, its actually a deep heart ache. I feel you both have felt that before u left us. at times it is unbearable... I just have to hope and pray that you are both at peace now, happy with God in paradise :), I do feel some comfort with that, but, goshhhh I miss YOU!! I could go on and on, but.... > but I have said it all before.
I love you both so much and miss you miss more then I can ever express. I still wonder how u can watch over us, We don't want you to feel any pain now, know what I mean?
I want to tell you both so much more, but the tears have taken over now, so I will say nite nite for now, and I hope and pray you are both in God's loving hands... Hurts me deeply to say g'nite, cause I feel I am leaving you alone... I am sending my love now, and always wishing I had more time with yiu both...and as always, I pray you feel my love , and not my pain... xoxox sending love, hugs and more...

YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED
You will be remembered when the flowers bloom in spring.
And in the summertime remembered
In the fun that summer brings.
You will be remembered when fall brings leaves of gold.
In the wintertime, remembered, in the stories that are told.
And you (both) will be remembered,
each day right from the start,
For the memories that we once shared, forever live within my heart.

March 6th now, has been 2 months, missing you! Still doesn't seem real, sort of like the twilight zone. Not sure how your watch chimes at 17 minutes past the hr, but it sure does! So I have taken that as 'the sign', makes me smile at times, other times I cry.
Almost everywhere I go, everything I do> there is something that reminds me of one or both of you, and again, sometimes I smile, other times I cry, so hard to explain.
Little Edward is sooo cute, you would love him, so very tiny ( the hamster) I am sure you remember the snake Tim bought for Cassondra, well Matt gave her one for her birthday, she hasn't picked a name for it yet, this one is much bigger :-o
I've been trying to get this house cleaned up before we leave for dad's transplant the 12th of next month, ( your watch just chimed, amazing) xoxo Love u!! Miss you!!
We will drive my 'high rise' up, as I will doing most if not all the driving once the procedure starts.
Dad is going to call someone to do the tile in the bathroom, ( that will be a real tear jerker for me), You and I had such a good time picking the tile to blend with the shower :). Your friend there thought you and I were nuts, lol. I am thinking about calling Leo to do the lights that you and I got at Lowe's, and I am still dropping little hints, well maybe big ones,;-) about taking the carpet out of den and dining room, wish me luck!
I am gathering pictures up to get copies made to put in a photo album for Cassondra. Derise has some also, many long before Cassondra was born, one you are working on a trik for Matt, he was about 3 yrs. old. The album is aqua in color and has " Memories" on the cover. I bought a picture frame with 'Memories' written on it, I think I have found the perfect picture for it, it's one taken at Christmas with the entire family sitting on the couch, Cassondra and Travis were very young, Kaitlyn and London were not here yet. Todd was with us :). Ruthie took the pic. It was a very nice Christmas. Sweet precious memories for sure!
I bought a few things to take out to you guys later today. Its supposed to be a nice day, about 72 degrees.
I am tired now so I am going to bed, I am sending my love and more, I pray you both know how much you are missed. Cya tomorrow xox And if you boys ever sleep, sweet sweet dreams

Wow, here it is March 2nd already, hard to believe at times, then at other times it seems time stands still. I am still asking "Why"
It doesn't seem possible that your baby girl is 18 yrs. old today Ed. We will celebrate later today. She is still playing tennis for the school, and of course she is the A player :) and still teaching tennis at the club... We all miss you both so much, I will give her the gifts you got for her, I told her tonight that there were a few things from you, that you bought her because you knew you wouldn't be here in person to give them to her. My tears are flowing now, I hope I can say all I want to, wow, this is so hard. xoxo
The trip to Ohio went well, I guess, was very cold and lots of snow, I know you both would have loved it, but not me. You should have seen those guys getting furniture on the truck ramp in the snow! Was sort of funny in a way. Several ppl. unloaded the truck today.
Bernadette and I went by to visit with you boys yesterday, of course we cried, we all miss you both!! I pray you both knew that we were there. I still wish for just one more day, but, of course I know that is not possible... I would only want more. WE would want more.
Ed... > Kellie brought flowers and a bible for you the other day :), we thought that was so nice.
I still can't listen to the radio, you loved to sing so much, you knew all the lyrics, I hear you singing and I have to turn it off, I know in time I will be able to listen to it again, and will love hearing you sing :) but right now it hurts to much..
Cassondra and Travis graduate from high school in May, just doesn't seem possible does it? They are both excited :)
You know people say that our loved ones that are with God now look down on us, but, how can that be? Heaven is supposed to be pure bliss, so I can't see that you both feel the pain and heartache down here. If that were the case you would not be happy. Another mystery that we will never understand. LIke the water bug and dragon fly.
Your watch chimes every night Ed, at exactly the same time, I thank you for that :) And Todd> your table and the ceramic birds are still right here, they always will be. :) as well as the picture Grant gave me. And of course the picture on your steps of you 3 boys, its still my favorite picture. xoxo
I can't see to type anymore, I will send this, and pray you both know we all love you and miss you soooo very much...
wishing I could hug you both, kiss your cheek, see you smile, hear your voices just one more time...
Nite nite my babies, please feel my consunt love but not my pain, my heart aches terribly,........... sending love and kisses, Hugs and more.

February 22, 2008

Ruthie and I are headed to Ohio in a few hrs. Remember I told you about that Ed? We are facing bad weather, so u boys say a few prayers for us OK?
The time and the days move on, but>> doesn't stop my missing u both or the very deep pain I feel.
I am so thankful for Lisa and her family, Rick and his family. Lucy and Ruthie, Not sure what I would have done without all of them, they were always there for you both and for me.. ( Lucy was Todd's lifeline), :) wow
My thanks and love to Mary and Jim also :) you boys were and are loved,and very missed by so many.
And by the way Ed, I sure do miss your cooking, you really knew how to spice things up :) and Todd>> my hair has never looked the same, :(, lol, know what I mean? I miss our long talks..
I will be gone for 5 or 6 nights :((.. but>>> I will hold u both in my thoughts all the way. I always do, I love u and miss u both soooo very much, and>> I still wonder WHY.. ?? WHY?
I did get your sign Ed :), and I thank you for that, I get it every night.. :)... your watch is right here and it chimes at exactly the same hour, sad but yet reassuring. xoxox
Goodnight my sons...sending all my love and more... I still hear your voices, it brings me comfort, but makes me long for u both even more... Longing for one more day.. Just one more day..
And Judy Perkins, I will email u soon, thanks for your love and support...
Nite nite for now..
Mary and Jim>> please send email OK?
Love and hugs to all...

I miss you my sons, I cry all the time and I know you both do know that. I hear your chime every nite Ed, I love it, Thank you, thank you......Goodnight my sweet sons,oh how I love you and miss YOU both... I hope you feel my love, but not my pain...
Mom
February 18, 2008
Well Ed and Todd I am just saying goodnite, and as always my heart aches, just does not seem possible. I still have so many questions, I know you both are safe and happy now, and I know someday I will be with you both again,but right now I hurt.
I see that we were 2 minutes off Ed, I hear the chime every night. amazing huh? thank you my son.
I love YOU I miss You both so very much... Sending my love and my hugs, I pray you feel them.

February 15, 2008
My dear sons, here it is the 15th already, so hard to believe, I talk to you both every day, look at your pictures every day, I hear your voices so cleary, I hear you singing Edward, I hear Todd playing the piano, or calling me on the phone telling me its time for the soap, and Edward, I get your SIGN every nite, it makes me cry, but, at the same time makes me smile cause I know you are happy now. I really needed that reassurance, I thank you and God for that, only you know what I mean by that. It is totally amazing~ I am in awe every nite.
Now Todd, Ruthie misses your playing happy birthday to her, and I miss you popping in or calling me saying "lets go to lunch" or to the movies or dancing, I haven't gone dancing since we last danced.
Dad and I are going up to N.C. next week for a consult with the Dr.s about his bone marrow transplant, and of course you will both know before we do how that goes, but I will keep you posted anyway.
I received a lovely card from Dean's mom today :) she and I will get together for lunch soon.
We saw an old friend of yours the other day Todd :) she still misses you. I see so many people that ask about you both. You two will never be forgotten. Never !!
Cassondra is doing well Edward, she won her tennis match in 30 minutes>> 8-0 :), she's still teaching the little kids 3 days a week at the club, weather permitting, and of course she's still in love with Tim, ahhh young love huh?:)
OHH and Edward, > I am keeping the flowers just like I did Todds :)
Good nite my sons, I miss you and love you both soooo very, words cannot begin to tell you, but I really feel you both know. I am sending you both ALL my love and hugging you.
You will be in my heart forever

February 10, 2008
Well here it is the 10th already, wow, I feel like I am in a twilight zone. At times I just can't believe you have both gone on to be with God, sometimes I feel I can pick up the phone to call you. Then I realize I can't.
talk about tears then, the ache is so unbearable at times.
Its like the story of the 'Waterbug and the dragon fly'. They are all waiting for an answer, but>> none comes.
I still cry for you both, I miss you both so very much, you both had different ways and thoughts and talents.
I know your both are happy now, and that you wanted me to move on, but, whewww it is so very hard to do right now. Like I have said before, I know it will be more bearable in time, I have to believe that... but, if we just had one more day :)... just one more day...
I love you Edward and Todd.. I miss you both sooo very much. I hope you both feel my love, but not my pain.
Good nite my boys, I love YOU !! You are my angels now.

February 6, 2008
It's the 6th Ed, :(... has been a month and 2 hours.. Just doesn't seem possible. I received your letter yesterday, and I know what you mean. Thank you! I know I will appreciate it more as the weeks, months and years pass. The words are beautiful Eddie.
I saw Michelle today in the new Walgreens, you wanted to see the new one. Its very nice, I bought new cat BUCKETS ;) (as u called them)... I gave Kahula one of the old ones :) she likes it. She is getting better about being alone at night, but she sure misses you!! But I am sure you know that.
We will be going to North Carolina the 20th for dad to talk to the Dr.s about the stem cell transplant. I have to hope you and Todd know what I am saying, I miss you both so very much!!
I think I got the sign Ed, but>> please, if you can, send another?
Love you and miss you both more then I can express

February 5, 2008
To our dear friends John & Sandy, and Edward's Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Words can't express how our hearts hurt for you. We know each of you miss Edward in your own unique and very special way, with a thousand memories you hold dear. We remember Edward the way he looks out at us from his high school picture. Visiting in your home and watching Edward as he showed love, laughed, and played with all the kids is a special memory that we cherish. Those of us left here on earth for now can look forward to seeing that smiling, beautiful boy when we join him one day in paradise. We pray you take comfort in knowing that life on earth is but a vapor, but life with our Lord is eternal. We rejoice in knowing that Edward traveled his final journey on the pathway to heaven and has finally found perfect peace. We know he is completely surrounded by warmth, goodness, and love, and he will suffer no more. With our love and prayers, Kellie & Tom

Well Edward another week has passed, gosh how I miss you!! We are all hurting terribly. Everything I see reminds me of you, and I am still waiting for that sign, remember? Your friends from the complex have asked about you, they miss you also. I will give the squirrel cages to Linda.
I love you Eddie, and I miss you sooo very much. I just pray you and Todd know how much I miss you and love you both. Mary and Jim are hurting also.
I have to hope that you guys are having a great time with your other loved ones and friends. Keep fishing in that great pond Ed, keep singing as Todd plays the piano. my heart aches, love you both always and forever,

Oh my dear Edward, xoxo My heart is so heavy right now..HeartAche doesn't even begin to cover it, But I am sending you my love and hugs, AGAIN! Can you feel the hugs, and the love? I have to think you do. I hope and pray you know my thoughts and feel my love for you and Todd.
I just have to tell you this Edward>> I know you remember the last Christmas present you bought for Cassondra, she wanted a dwarf hamster, you wanted to get it for her, so you bought the cage and all the accessories late November, you had so much fun picking out everything, ( took forever tho.;).. but...> then you got so upset that you didn't have the chance to take her to get the little critter...:(, You had tears in your eyes when you asked me just before Christmas " what about the hamster" ? I told you it would be "OK"... ( remember we hid the cage etc. in my closet) ?
You wanted to give it all to her early, but>> I said wait until just before Christmas :( That never happened...:(... Well Tim took her to get the hamster tonight, she said it is a male and its black with a little bit of white, ( just like the one you wanted to get in November) wow...she loves it already :)...And get this> Can you guess its name?? Yep, she named it Edward, so sweet, but also so sad. YOU wanted to take her to get it. But, God had other plans for you and us.. xoxox
Edward, Cassondra misses you terribly also...the good news is, a good report card, and > she is playing tennis again for the school and teaching the younger kids tennis at the club. I think she is doing this for YOU.
Graduation in May, wow, hard to belive huh? I know you had planned to be with her on that special day, but I feel you will be, and she will know in her heart that you are there, a proud daddy of your only "little girl"
Bernadette and I went to counseling tonight, was good, but I know I have a LONG way to go yet.. That little smile on your face helps me, you looked so peaceful, and it helps knowing that you always knew how much I love you, miss YOU, and knowing you love me dearly, but>> I miss YOU sooo very much...
I long to hear you sing country music again, *( "Turnip greens") ;)"almost home" and many others, your jolly ways, your voice, your silly dancing, your fried turkey, and the Slowskies :), and you telling me to go to bed ;).. LOL, cause I was playing Pogo late at night . You, Ruthie and I had sooo much fun with the Slowskies. Especially when we were hanging the fan in early December. OMG, that was a hoot... We all do have good and fun memories that will last forever, some not so fun. BUT,....
I miss so miss so very much about you. I can't help it, but I keep asking WHY... Not sure I could have gotten thru. this without your sister Lisa, your brother Rick, Bernadette, Lucy, Ruthie and their familes, pastor Mike,Cassondra, Derise, was there for all of us also, ( you really liked him)..they were my support, they were there for YOU Edward, and for me... they were there with you and I all the way!, we were all there for each other, I love them all, and we am so very lucky to have loved ones like that :).. They all love you Edward, and they miss YOU... I wish now that you could have known how many people loved you, I really never knew myself... Nite nite my sweet babies, send me a sign Edward ok? To let me know you are OK, OK??
Todd did... *remember the worn tire thing* ?
Keep singing with the angels Edward with Todd as he plays the piano and as Robert said, enjoy the fishing :) Dean, Paula, Leo, Judy, Michelle and many others miss you also, wow, to many to mention. Paula made a lovely banner for you, and stickers for our cars, they look great. :) again you would be proud... Kaitlyn made a beautiful photo frame of favorite pictures, and the video that Lisa made was totally awesome, I pray you saw it all...
Always Loving you and missing you both, love hugs and more...

My dear Edward, I told you a secret a few days before you left us...Remember? Only you knew that secret, wowww, it has come true... How oh how could Todd have known that> Only you and he know that .. I miss you both so very much, I know the pain will ease someday, but now it is unbearable. I love you my sons, gosh I know you both know that, but>> I long for just ONE MORE DAY...But like the song says, I would only wish for more. I miss you both sooo very much.. I LOVE YOU Todd and Edward... You are both in God's hands hands now, someday I will understand... but for now, I don't.... I have so many questions, so many WHY'S....

I prayed & prayed for years that you would look up for answers versus out to the world. In the last month, you took that leap of faith and felt the warmth of Jesus in your heart. I know that you are now home and out of pain. Fishing in that great pond in heaven with Todd playing the piano and keeping you company. Your body and soul were healed and made whole in the blink of an eye. I pray that Mom finds the warmth and hope that only Jesus can provide. I know that both of you are by His side praying that Mom's heart will heal. I will hold your memories in my heart along side my memories of Todd. Enjoy that fishing pond and one day we will be together again.
Love,
Your Sister

I cannot try to imagine the pain you are feeling but you know something God must think you are really special if he is taking your boys. He knows you will cope and he is saying you have done a good job with these boys now I need them back to work for me. Hang in there you are stronger than you think, We all love you BIG HUGS from us all this side of the pond.
When a person you love passes away, look to the night sky on a clear day.The star that to you, appears to be bright, will be your loved one, looking upon you during the night. The lights of heaven are what shows through,as your loved one watches all that you do. When you feel lonely for the one that you love, look to the heavens in the night sky above
Sandy do that and you will fell better maybe just a little bit better but it works
Love you lots

The teasing, joking, laughing, taunting and everything else you did to me, Todd and Molly Dee on Golf Course Drive, I remember them Edward...As we grew and you became a proud Marine, you suprised us and made us proud. We all grew up and went our ways but always stayed together as "The Golf Course Drive Kids". We partied at my house in honor of "Woodle"! Remember?? Me, you and Mona Lynn... I know "Woodle" was waiting for you in heaven and you can now be the little boys you use to be together. We may not have seen each other for 364 days but always knew on that 365th day we would meet at the Florida/Georgia game a Billy's. You will be missed so much. Your momma will survive, she is one of the two strongest women I know. We will all take care of her on earth and you and Todd take care of her from above. Miss you Buddy!

Marine Cadence
You can have your Army Khakis,
and your Navy Blues,
but here’s a different fighting man,
I’ll introduce to you.
His uniform is unlike,
any you’ve ever seen,
the German’s called him Devil Dog,
his title is Marine.
He was trained in Parris Island,
the land that God forgot,
the sand was 14 inches deep,
the sun was blazing hot.
And when I get to Heaven,
St. Peter I will tell,
another Marine reporting sir,
I’ve served my time in hell.
January 15, 2008
God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hardworking hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

Love you Edward...

To The Lamb Family: While working with Bernadette, I feel that I know all of you and will also miss hearing about Edward and his smiling face. My Friend and I have been praying for your family. We have prayer every morning and every night together and we include all of you. We will continue to pray for the Lord to lift you up where you are torn. He is always listening and there when you need him. Just call on his name and he will carry you through. You may not understand it now but you will understand it by and by. You will get a peace about you and one day you will wonder and say WOW! THANK YOU LORD!
Yours in Christ

Hi Cassondra
We are all thinking of you, be strong sweetheart and remember you had the most wonderful daddy and you were his precious star. You cancome over here anytime just call me and we will arrange it. I have a little poem for you that I was sent when I lost my dad and I want to share it because its so beautiful. We love you and *HUGS*
A SPECIAL DAD
If you are looking down Dad
Listen to me please,
Just to know you might be
Brings a little ease
Every time I come here
To spend some time with you
I promise that I won’t get upset
But every time I do
I know that you won’t like
To see me stand and cry
I want you to be proud of me
But how ever hard I try
I think about the old days
And the good times that we had,
And knowing there’s no more of them
Always makes me sad
Mary, Jim, Emma, Neill and Sean Williamson

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Edward I know you are listening and I was so honoured to have met you. You made me laugh so much and as I write this I am laughing and crying when I think of the fun things especially the country and western dancing you and your mum took me to, to try and teach me but I laughed so much we got some strange looks. You brought so much fun to our life when you were here and we were over there. Your memories will always bring a smile to my face.
God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home

Sandy,
I won't say "I know how you feel" because everyone feels and expresses grief differently. However, having lost 3 grandchildren I can probably come close to understanding your pain and I am so sorry you have had to feel it. Edward's and Todd's memory will live on through those of us who remember them and loved them.
Edward,
I'm sure you'll find my grandsons to keep you company fishing in the greastest waters there are. Look out for them for me until I can see you all again. You were one of a kind and I'll think of your smile often. God's peace to you all.

My dear Edward, we just returned from your viewing, you looked so peaceful and out of pain, many people said you had a smile on your face :), but thats just the way you are, always making people laugh and or smile. You were quite the jokester, people loved you for that and other reasons as well. I know you were extremely pleased to see so many people there and so many lovely plants and flowers. Your daughter looked beautiful, we all felt proud of her, I am sure you were too, she misses you terribly, and what do you think about that picture she left for you? :) As heartbroken as I am that I will never hear your voice, your jokes, your bird and animal sounds, I could feel how proud and happy you were to see so many of your old friends and working buddies, I was very proud too, some that I didn't know, there are to many to list here, but I am sure you know. I know you are happy now and pain free for the first time in a long time, and seeing your dad, grandparents, Todd and other relatives and friends must have been awesome, wow. More later baby. I love you and miss you!! Coconut misses you also. Rest well in God's hands.

Edward,
When you walk through the pearly gates, your father, brother, family, and friends will all be there. For you my friend this is my prayer.
When you look upon the face of
God; watch closely, you will see a knowing nod. For you my friend this is my thought.
And my all the heavenly ponds be full of fish, for you my friend this is my wish.
Sandy,
I'm thankful for so many memories to fill this empty place in our world.
