Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome. Words can never explain the loss that will take a long time to get over. You were a very well liked person who had a heart of gold. You were inspiration to all your kids and especially your grandchildren. I enjoyed all the talks we had, and how you always knew how to make me feel better. You were amazing and one of the strongest person I got to know. I love you very much and I will miss you so much. Always in my heart. <3 Michaelene

Dear Mom, How does a son say goodbye to his mom? How does a son go on after his mom is gone? How does a son remember his mom? Answers are never easy to these questions, only to say. I must go on without you. I only wish I could’ve told you one more time how much I loved you and admired your strength that you showed throughout your life. You life was taken away without some of these questions answered. Mom, I know you will watch over us, and give us the strength to go on without you. Rest in peace until we see eachother again. Life will never be the same without you. Love ya, Bob
My Second Mother, I want to thank you for always being there for me all these years. You were just like a mother to me. I’ll never forget our trip to New York, going out to eat, and our long talks. No one could have asked for a better mother-in-law. I’m really going to miss you. I’ll never forget you. Love ya, Tami
My Mother and Friend, Words can not explain the hurt I feel. I only know that you would want the best for each of us. You were always so much fun to be around even when you were in pain. You always told me ” If I got in chance in life to do something ..to do it”…I’ll always remember those words and I plan to do just that. I promise to do my best to always act like a kid…because that’s what you wanted me to do. I’m going to miss you dearly…our phone calls and our laughter about so many things. Our trip to New York was one that I hold close to my heart. You’re an angle now, something you wanted. Please watch over us as I know you will. I believe in my heart I’ll see you again and we will pick up right where we left off…joking and having fun. As Always I love you “Your Partner in Crime” Brenda P.S Also if the boys get out of line ..I’ll do just want you ask me to do…”slap them in the head” Don’t forget…I’ll be waiting for my letter!
I’m so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this trying time
