Mom, I Really Don't Know How To Express My Feelings Too Well As You Know, But I'm Going To Try So Please Bare With Me--Ok?? I Feel Empty Inside Just Like When I Lost My Beautiful Wife Natalie To Cancer I Never Thought That I Would Ever Feel This Way Again But Now I Realize That These Feelings Come When Losing Someone That You Really Loved..I Not Only Lost Two Ladies That I Loved Dearly But I Also Lost Two Of My Best Friends As You Know From Some Of The Talks That We Have Had..I Feel Sorrow For Losing You But In The Same Time, I Feel Happiness That You Are "Finally" Where You Really Wanted To Be And That is With Dad, So----You Go Girl, Have A Ball Up There And If You See My Lovely Wife (Which I'm Sure You Will) Then Tell Her That I Said Hi And That I Love And Miss Her And Hopefully I'll Be Seeing Her Soon, That Is If It's God's Will.. Hope To See All Of You Real Soon, But As You Well Know, I Just Have To Wait--Right??........

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
I know I was one of many that your mother was watching out for in the neighborhood. What we didn’t understand then we do appreciate today, Thanks for being there!

Bomma,
I know this is where you want to be right now..I heard you talk about it so many times,all those times I never wanted to hear you say any of that.cause I knew that when the time came,I would be so selfish and want nothing more then for you to be here with us.I'll never forget all the times we were together watching old movies on tv and talking about any and everything and laughing about it all.you mean the world to me and will forever have a place in my heart..everytime I cry,its tears of sadness and happiness..sadness for obvious reasons,cause i miss you so much,but happiness b/c i know this is truely where u wanted to be,up in heaven playing golf with Boppa and God..I also know everyday you are watching over each and one of us..I cant wait until we are together again some day..so we can continue our conversations and laughter together..I love you Bomma and miss you

Bob,Butch,Kathi,Tom,Gina,&Guy,
I know that your Mom meant the world to all of you. It was obvious to me from the very first gathering I attended at "The Pitzen" house.I just want you to know that she did not leave you without first imparting a little bit of herself in each and every one of you.Bob,you have her stoic personality and strong sense of duty and honor. Butch,you have her stubborness and underneath that "teddy bear" kindness. Kathi,you have her love of all things beautiful--home,children,gardening
Tom,you have her independance and free spiritedness. Gina,you are your Mom--classy,sassy, and full of grace.And last,but not least,Guy. You are the "tiger" that was in her with a healthy dose of her sense of humor.
So, Anna Mae lives on through her children and still gets to enjoy a round of golf with the guy who helped her create all of you.
Mourn Her but be happy for her too.

Bomma
To say you mean so much to me and you will be missed does not even begin to express the depths of how I feel. You will be missed, though I know now you are happy and with Boppa. It rends my heart that I can not be there with the rest of the family, but I know you understand and I am sure you approve the reason why. You will always be in my thoughts and heart along with Boppa.

The funny beautiful lady
That means so much to me
May be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
Because my memory holds her dearly
And my pen recalls her ways
And most of all I love her
A love that always stays
It stays inside my memory
And is often on my mind
Because a lady like my bomma
Is rare and hard to find.

we love you soo much bomma its not even possible to explain! we will miss you very much

there is a few thing i would like to say first off i thank her very much for accepting me as her own grandchild and not as a step grandchild and also for the love and affection she showed me and gave to me soo bomma i thought i wuld read u this poem and here it is


Thank you for the gift of love,
now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say.
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on.
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
As we say goodbye,
as tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
Because you're telling God,
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and mind.
So bomma
you must go, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.

i will also be reading this at her funeral
