Mom, I can't believe you've been gone 3 years on Friday. I still miss you as much as the day you slowly slipped away, holding your hand and not wanting you to leave, but knowing it was your time. I want to plant some pansies for you, but if I don't go Friday, I'll go Saturday when the weather is better. Your getting a new great- granddaughter in late summer. I love and miss you every day mom. Say hi to Bumpa for me ❤❤❤

Mom, You've been gone for 3 weeks and the grief and pain hadn't lessened one bit. Mikey likes it when you visit hinm in his dreams. He thinks you didn't know him too well, but in actuality I think you know each other best of all. I think about everyday. I hope I did things right. I wanted the best care for you and didn't want you to suffer. I love you Mom so much I've ever felt such pain. I hope you're happy and at peace in Heaven with Bumpa and Nan & Pop Mikey's other great grand parents. He told them to take care of you. Be happy in heaven Mom. I love you forever. Until we see each other again.

Edaville at Christmas, Franklin Park Zoo picnic on the last day of Kindergarten, a hundred apple pies made after a trip to an orchard one fall, dozens of jars of grape jelly made from the grapes from the Arbor in our yard, tilling the garden by hand for Mamadarn and her re-doing it because it wasn't to her liking, kissing boo-boos from the wasp stings from the pears that fell from our trees, special Birthday suppers, the proud look in your eyes when I graduated nursing school, the love for my children and the special love for your 4 great-grandchildren. The happiness when your grandson Mike and I visited. The love when you stroked my face and called me your baby. The love that poured out of my heart into yours as Michael and I held your hand as you slipped away. Cherished memories of a mother from her daughter. You are always in my heart, beside me, with me. I will love you always until we meet again. Sleep in the sweetest peace my sweet Mommy.
