My thoughts and prayers are with you now, as they have been these past long months. I loved the time I was able to spend with you, our long talks of life and family. Your courage and love for life has been a true gift to all who love you.
I send my prayers for Dolores Jean and sincerest condolences to her family. with love, your cousin Bernadette Rybka
Mom, You were the best mom ever! You were my heart, my strength, my anchor to this earth, my favorite person, my everything. I have never seen so much strength in one human being. Because of you, I laughed a little harder, I cried a little less and I loved so much deeper. Because of you, I know what real compassion looks like. Because of you, this world was a better place. You brought joy to everyone. You loved unconditionally and without fear. We can all hope to be a little more like you. I will forever miss you. I will forever love you. Fly high, Mom! I will see you on the other side.
Lisa – I was so sorry to hear about your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so very sad that Aunt Dee has passed. She was not only my aunt but my friend. Someone I talked to often, and she never hung up the phone without saying she loved me. I will never forget her kind heart as she helped me with Mom on my many trips home from Arizona. I am so sorry I could not be there now yet I made that special trip home just in time to see her awake and tell her “I Love Her” one last time. I felt at peace that it was her time as did not want her to suffer further pain. I recently remembered why Mom and Dad named me Jean Marie. Jean after her younger sister Delores Jean and Marie was Mom’s middle name. Nikki and the boys also send their Love. The boys each called me personally to say they were sorry about my Aunt Dee. Very sweet. We have chosen to send a donation to St. Jude Children’s Hospital as my favorite charity. Nikki makes a donation monthly but will make a special one. My prayers are with you all. I know she is in Heaven trying to settle her big sister down who is probably carrying on. She is also with Uncle Raul, Grandma and Grandpap. What a reunion of great people! Love from Cousin Jeannie
