Another October with out Mom. How she enjoyed carving the pumpkin with Rich and Denise and our trip to Vermont with Dianne when Pat was in school. What fun times and fond memories. Still hard to believe you are gone forever Mom but thankfully I have my siblings and family to get me through this. May my love and kisses find their way to Heaven for you, Connie

Mom,A very Happy Birthday to you. We miss you and wish you were here with us to celebrate your birthday. Know that you are forever in our hearts.
Love
Dianne

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! Wish you were her so we could all be together to celebrate. Love, Connie

2 years

I know Mom is watching from above but I still wish she was here with us. Mom you are missed more and more as time goes by. You will forever live in our hearts. I love you, Connie

Two years has gone by and it seems like yesterday yet like a thousand yrs since Mom has been here. I miss her every day and know our family feels the same way. I pray she is watching over each and every one of us. I hope she knows how very much she was loved and is missed.
Love
Dianne

22 months

It has been 22 long months since this beautiful lady left us. I know Mom was in pain but wish she was still here. My heart breaks everytime I think of her gone forever and that I can not see her again until I die. I expect to live a long life so I know it will be years before I get to see her again. :( The pictures and memories help and I thank all my siblings for that. You guys are great for keeping Moms memory alive. Thank You! Thank God Mom had so many kids. I love you all and wish we lived closer. So since I am not leaving my grandkids I expect you all to move to Washington State. :0)

I love You and Miss You Mom,
Connie

Happy Mothers Day Mom. I love you and miss you more than I can express. Connie

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Mom. Also to Gramps & Gram, Aunt Betty and all the Irish ( even those who think they are Irish or who just know someone who is Irish) who have gone to meet St. Pat himself. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all.

I think today is 2 years since Mom had her stroke. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it seems so long ago. Hard to think of her in such pain. Here is another saying among her or Grams things.

If we live as though our only care
is Someone Else's smile,
If we take the time to right a wrong
Though it slows us down a while,
If we put a little kindness
Into everything we do,
Our lives would be much richer,
And the lives we touch would, too.
Then the passing years would cheer us,
Knowing what we'd left behind,
And we'd welcome each tomorrow,
And the joys we would find.

As always Mom I love you and miss you more and more every passing day.
Hugs and Kisses,
Connie

Today is 19 months since this beautiful lady left us. I want to share another saying I found.

Love never disappears for death is a non-event.
I have merely retired to the room next door.
You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are.
Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad.
Continue to laugh at what made us laugh.
Smile and think of me.
Life means what it always meant.
The link is not severed.
Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight?
I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path.
You see, all is well.

Missing you always Mom and thinking of you often. Love, Connie

18 months

I found this saying among Mom's things and thought I would share it with all of you. It is from Hospice and Mom must have liked or she would not have kept it.

When my life is finally measured in months, weeks, days, hours...

I want to live free of pain, free of indignity, free of loneliness.

Give me shelter, give me your hand, give me your care, give me your understanding, give me your love.

Then, let me go peacefully, and help my family understand.

Mom, I love and miss you and understand more as time goes on.
Love, Connie
