Tributes
Leave a tributeI cannot believe you have been away for four years. My goodness how time quickly goes. Dad is doing well. He misses you, yet life is kind and he is well loved by our family. I saw your Butler ancestral home. I know why it was important to you. I experienced much love there. Thank you for passing that heritage on to us. I pray for you to look over our family keep us in your ethereal love. I miss you so.
Love, Cath
I love you, Mom,
Today I commemorate your passage to heaven. The year has been long with too dark a winter that snowed our tears all season long.i hear you reminding me that with spring comes hope. I will always miss you, mom, but I see you in each of my children, nieces, nephews, and my siblings. Thus, you are not so far away when I can touch my hand to theirs. I love you mom.
Hi. It's almost been a year since you have been gone. Phil and I miss you so much. Dad is lost without you. He walks around the house holding and talking to your prayer card. Even Cupid misses you.
This family isn't the same without you. Sometimes I feel so lost...I wish you were here to talk to. I think we could all use a little help from you in Heaven. I know you are watching, you know how we are struggling. Please help us. Ask Jesus to help our family. We all love you so much Mom. I try not to cry, but like today I just can't seem to stop. There will always be a portion of my heart that is broken where you reside. I so glad that you went to Grandparents Day with Phil last year. He has that picture and sometimes takes it out and just looks at it. Then he will tell me later how much he misses you and he will crawl into my arms and cry.
Love you.
Meg

Happy Birthday Mom!
Hi Mom,
I find it hard to believe that you have already been gone 2 months. In celebration of your Birthday we dined on Chicago Dough deep dish... always a family favorite...Heck I remember the year we ordered enough pizza to justify them giving us a gift certificate for a free one... How often does that happen??? I know you are in peace up there in the big white light... Keep an eye on us and put in a good word for all of us with the Boss. Dad misses you daily and can hardly believe that your not with him anymore... pray for him so that his mind may find peace.
I always think about our shared love of Hawaii... What a lovely place!!! I hope and pray that we will make it there with Dad so that we can spread your ashes along the road to Hana and maybe a sprinkle at the Seven Sacred Pools... anyway here is a song from a Hawaiian composer that I think you will like. Aloha and much love!
