Hi Mommy, was thinking of you but, that's nothing new. The whole family was at Kevin and Melissa's this past Saturday. Everyone had an amazing day. I know you were there with us ... we all miss you so much Mom. Your birthday is coming up so we are all getting together to celebrate your birthday and, Alexis' s birthday at the same time. We are all going to be ok and, you were right Mom all those years that if we had each other we would be ok. I know you are happy to see us all so close. That's all you wanted and, I know it's because of you, that is a reality. I couldn't be more grateful. Going to head to work but I'll talk to you later. I love you Mommy.

My wife, my lover, my best friend and confidant ... you are missed terribly so but, you will remain in my heart and my every thought until we are together again. I promised you that I would take care of you ... I hope I have fulfilled that promise. I miss you Babe ... I miss you more than any words can describe ... your loving me gave me all the strength I ever needed to face the struggles of life and, together, you and I overcame every hardship. You are now at peace and with the Lord.

Mom enjoyed the Spring and Summer months when she would begin planting her garden and plan fishing trips with her family. Above all, her family meant the world to her, she would rather go without then to see her family wanting for anything. My mother taught us all a valuable lessons in being selfless and, caring for others. I miss her so much and my thoughts are with her everyday... I love you Mom.
