Wow haven't talked to you in awhile! Sorry! I thought about you the other day cause there was a mention by another family member how very very much you were missed. It really was a epic statement. My hope it will do some healing! Really need to post a pic I know you see us all-lol- it was just a thought. things in many of our lives have changed. I'll let you know about all those. We'll talk again
April 30, 2013
Good morning- It's suppose to be Spring- and yesterday we almost hit 100- I thought of you- cause you never seemed to be fazed by the heat!!- in fact you would be wrapped in a blanket with the cooler on! ;)We have a graduation coming up, yes, he made it- we are all so proud- I'm hoping he's talking with people about schools/scholarships- I'm worried that he's put it on hold- and it's his nature to think he can do it alone-I told him I'd do whatever I could. Had menudo the other day- it was good- but I said- hey where are the pasteries? Love those pasteries... and you know what I mean- Come to the party Sunday- I'll look for you- Just laugh and I'll know you're there- ~love ya~

They say time heals all wounds- that memories will take the place of the pain. In some cases this is true. It's been 3 years, not a day goes by that I don't think of you- I have a candle that you gave to me one year- and I will light that today- as I have every year for you. There is a bracelet I wear only on this date because I am worried that it will break. We were at your fave place and your Son left you an empanada and some of your fave candy. He looked really happy!! Sorry we forgot your coffee-lol. Well its the begining of my day and thought I would start it by waking you up!! Its 5 am on a Saturday!! Time to go yard sailing... lol...**love ya**
September 24, 2012
Hi!! It's been too long- I thought of you the other day when Rosa said on face book- Tia Anna' favorite cookies- Mia loves those cookies- or should I say the icing! Cookie not so much. I know in my heart what I want to say- say to you just to make me feel better-I know that's not fair-so just check in and we'll talk- I say the date I was last here- it's been a busy time- kinda roller coaster- but it looks like we maybe slowing down the ride- I won't wait to visit between visits- gotta go now- ~love ya~
February 9, 2012
Wow- I finally found you- well, you know I was searching and just couldn't get it right-lol- its been awhile- so much going on. There are things that have changed that are just unbelievable, and I am afraid to even wonder where it might lead. If you can intecede in any way I know he would listen. Sometimes our grief takes a path that we are comfortable with, yet is not the best path for us. Riddles, riddles, but I know you know. If there is anyway I can help, I will. I just don't know when to step in. I'll be back- ~love you~*

It has been quite sometime that I've been here to say Hi or just to let some things out. Well as you know Mias gettin along quite well and Isaiah seems to be one of her most FAVORITE people around! She seems to just adore him! I cant help but think of you as the newest Twilight will be out soon, how you would have loved this one! I was at your house the other day and I couldnt help but smile at your Jacob and Sookie Stackhouse books, again thank you for bringing those books to my attention as I am now full blown addicted! Well we miss you always and think of you just as much! Love you, talk to you soon...
September 15, 2011
Today the rain is awesome!The sound of thunder made me jump- there was this LOUD clap of thunder- wow! Well, our wander was here, looks good, looks happy. I hope he is, he kind of seemed out of place- like he was kinda of trying to find a place to belong- I understand he's heading out- be gone for a bit- I pray for his safety- and know that "his" angel will be keeping him safe. Your favorite time of the year is coming up- lots of food to eat-
gotta go- ~love ya~
August 5, 2011
Hey Lady!!
What can I say... life is just moving along.. we have had some great days of rain.. but the heat is so exhaustive or should I say the humidity... nasty stuff. I really miss not being able to call and just ask a question.. I see the message before talks about Angels.. I remember you always thinking that God was testing you with Angels...so you would do the right thing.:) This is short, but I wanted you to know (and of course you know this) that I miss you and wish you were here.. til next time ~love ya~
July 12, 2011
My prayer card is quite worn now. Love and miss you more than ever. Beautiful Angel :) Just spent the day with memories and thought I would "check in"

Here we are again- days are just slipping by- I know you know the news in the family- I have no words- what does one say to that? I can see you shaking your head wondering the same thing!! I should be happy- and I will be- but for now its incredible in this day and age that there were not precautions!! Ah, well it is what it is- JJ should be in training getting ready to ship out- I know you will be watching out for him.
I'll be back- ~Love ya~
May 10, 2011
HEY!!! It's been awhile, there are many things to share with you- such changes in everyone's lives. Day to day is still just as hard, but you know sometimes they are not as bad as I make them out to be in my own mind- :) - I hear JJ maybe going back to Afganistan or is it Iraq-Iran- Potatoe-Potato...lol... I haven't heard from him in a long time- he's got his own family and life now- I know you watch over him- we were talking about you the other day- and how we still feel this incredible amazement that you are gone- some many what ifs- well, I need to get going... I'll be back very soon- ~Love ya~
March 29, 2011
I just realized that in talking to you I have not written to you- my bad- as you know we are in the middle of Lent- and as usual we are all questioning what we gave up for Lent! :) Much like a New Years resolution you think it's a good idea at the time! Now, you're like what the heck was I thinking!! We were listening to the radio on our way to no where- when a song came on that you really like- it just brought back a flood of memories- remember when you were carrying Iggy and trying so hard to pick a name there would be NO nickname for- that memory crossed my mind!! You couldn't believe we could think up a nickname so quick- do me a favor- stop by and see (name)- this person is very lonely- just a small guesture to show you are there- Thanks, ~Love ya~

Its still so hard some days to know you as well as my nana are both gone. Mia or the rat girl as you always refered to her as misses you both everyday, she continues to ask where you two are, and it will always hurt my heart to tell her you're both gone. She's wanting to play baseball like Tia Anna used to play, and Arnold is already fitting her for a glove, I can hear the laughter. Your are very missed everyday but never forgotten, we will continue to remember you and always tell Mia evrything we can, every memory. I love and miss you always...
January 7, 2011
I haven't been here in awhile as you know we have had another Angel go home. Just seems like we get caught up in life and now we lose another and we wonder why we didn't spend more time with family- sad revelation- as you know things are just moving along. There are days I cry at a moments notice and then there are days I laugh when a memory crosses my mind. You have been crossing my mind alot in the last couple of days. I wonder if you know the problems with one of the "sheep" -this one has strayed and we have no idea how to lead them back. We'll just be here and wait- :) I also wanted to thank Sonia and Gina for keeping this open. How Blessed you are to have wonderful friends- Gotta go- Miss you *Love you*

It's been one year today. It still seems like you left us just yesterday. We all miss you so much. I miss you so much. There are so many things I wish I could talk to you about but then you already know what they are. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and hear your laugh. ~Love you~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Don't you just love birthdays! I remember JJ's birthday, the rented limo and the girls!! What a hoot, you had so much fun setting that up, you lit up just as much as he did,(smiling) I recall one time you saying that you didn't realize people had birthday parties after a certain age, that when you became a part of the familly birthdays were like holidays. Just fun, family and lots of eating- too funny, I can hear your giggle! I hope you have a good one tonight, I hear there will be cake for you, as if you haven't had enough already, I know you enjoyed all souls day- talk about FOOD! See you Saturday- ** Love you **
November 5, 2010
Well, I am sure you have met the newest Angel in heaven. Hope she got there alright. Just seems like the memories and ease was just making its way to me- when we now have more pain (than I know how to handle) to get through. I can just see you two hanging around, looking for something to do or someone to take care of. Next week is your memorial dinner... wow...
gotta go... ** love you **
October 29, 2010
I can't believe we are coming up on a year that you've been gone. It still seems like yesterday that we lost you. I know you knew how much you meant to me and that will never change. I miss you more than words can say. Your always in my thoughts. ~Love you~
October 27, 2010
Days are flying hard to believe we are coming up on a year. There have been days that seem like you are still here and days that are harder knowing you are gone. It's getting a bit colder now, it snowed in Showlow- remember when we all had a snow ball fight-when the kids sled down that slope-only to find a BIG hole where the water was!! We are getting ready for your dinner and rosary. Iggy is making flyers- its hard to pick just one picture that would remind people of who you were. I'll tell you more about that later. Let me know if there is something special you want. ** Love you
October 11, 2010
Can't believe we are in October. So much going on and I want to Thank you for watching out and keeping vigil. I know you have been there helping out. I am grateful. As I pray for guidence I also ask that you keep watch. I know Willie, Tony, Ruth and Theresa are watching too. It's been hard but we will get through this. Gotta go I'll be back in a couple of days. We have much to talk about. ** Love you
September 27, 2010
Listen- you can hear the sound and the feel of fall coming in- I can already see you putting on the sweaters, rubbing your hands and taking about how cold the mornings are- as you cradle that cup of coffee- I am late this month- just a few days- I know you know I didn't forget you- there was a championship game yesterday-he did his best but his team lost- surprisingly he was ok with it- we all appear to be adjusting- we all miss you in our own way- I visited with you the other day- it was great to talk with you- I have to go now- I will be back in a few days- love you**
August 27, 2010
What can I tell you today that you don't already know? It's hard to believe how many months have passed. When months ago we wondered how we could get through that day. Today I am at a loss for words, and I know you are thinking that's not possible :)! I think about you and I choke up. I know you want us to be strong. We will be one day, that will be the day your memories replace the pain. Take care, and I will stop by again. Love you *
August 16, 2010
The months are flying by. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and hear you laugh. I miss the conversations we used to have and the words of wisdom that you always seemed to have when I needed them the most. I miss you terribly and always will..... ~Love you~
July 30, 2010
Time is flying by, memories surround me when I think of you. I remembered your wedding anniversary. I recalled how radiant you were on the night of your reception. It was the first time in your new home and the first time I had seen you in a dress. :) I recall your joy when you opened your Dad's gift of pots and pans! It was like Christmas for you and we benefitted cause you were a wonderful cook. Chicken and rice today just misses your touch. We all miss you terribly. In our hearts we know you are painless and in a better place. I know in my heart you are with us all in spirit. Until the next time- love you-
July 14, 2010
Anna, I miss you...every day. g.
May 17, 2010
in a few days six months will have passed- the pain is less but the hurt is still there- I thought about you today and what fun you would have had on Mt. Lemmon- in my mind I hear your laugh- you would have enjoyed the day- you will always be in my heart- the memories I have keep the tears at bay-as you look down at us- take care of all of us- I know you always liked to come in first- so your face is the first one I expect to see when I get there- there's that laugh

Your boys should be so proud to have such a Great mom...miss you my friend always.

My prayers are with the Family. Even though we never keeped in touch after Miller Elm and Pistor Middle school, I often thought of Anna and what a beautiful person she was. She was a good friend to the "new kid". Living one street away from her was one of the best memories for me growing up.
God bless,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss, Anna was a wonderful person, and a great co-worker. One day she kept looking at my ring and finally said, is it titanium, I replied yes. She said you know it is suppose to shine, can I see it so I can clean it for you. So it can shine like it is suppose to. I let her shine my ring. I know it seems like a simple little thing but that is what I liked so much about Anna, all the little things she did for others and how much she showed everyone how much she cared. I will miss her very much. All my thoughts and prayers. Janina

Its so hard to find the words to say when this was so unexpected! I admire you as a mother, wife and friend. We watched all the games our men played together and gave the umps and other teams the hardest time. We had great stories between each other every Sunday wheather it be about baseball, kids or being in the medical field. I am going to miss you so much and your chair will still be there at every game! God please take care of her and help heal her family. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Although I did not spend alot of time with my cousin, the thought of her not being with us hurts my heart. I console myself knowing she is now a beautiful flower in God's garden.
