Missing you, Mom. Five years already you've been gone. I remember all the wonderful, funny, sweet times together.

Four years today Mom that you've been gone. Saw a little red cardinal in the yard and thought of you. Spring will be around the corner soon. Missing you.

Take good care of Patty Pop Tart. Like you said, the problem with growing older is that one loses more loved ones.

And the years keep passing like water under a bridge, but I think of you and am so glad you were my mom.

Can it be, Mom, a whole year passed by already? The cardinal family returned this year to our deck singing loudly and jubilantly. I like to think the fiery red male is looking for you at the kitchen table, in your spot, eating your orange and cream of wheat, unless you conned me into making you that French toast.

Dear Mrs. Gaspar,

I am sorry to hear of this sad news. We shared a lot of stories together
and you helped me thru a difficult time some years ago. I’ll always cherish
the letters that you wrote me and the things you told me about life
Much love always,
Dave (Dr 9)
Your favorite Jewish son
