i love you

Mom,you and Nana would be a bit upset for me saying this. Please ask our Father to come and get me only if this deep and scary inevitable shelter in winter happens. I am done with winter. When Kitten came to get us,I felt peace leaing that house when that twerp lawyer cussedus out and gae us an hour to leave. I am 47 and I always thought that was the age of my passing away from this cold cruel world One thing Dad was right about the end,,I am scared. Please come visit me in my dreams I love you I tank you. Cait needs you,not me..The girls don't need me and te last thing I ever want to do is burden my kids like K always did w Shawn,a terrible mother does something like that. I sadly don't wish her condition on her and understand why Bobby gave up on her. Please forgivve me and If I have to leave before I find a place,I will come to you my own way..I will see you soon.xxoo

Mommy,
I think of you daily,for the longest time I didn't know a life without you in it. Well you are always in my heart. Congratulations on becoming a physical great grandmother. Cait named her oldest Connor and he is a spitting image of Cait. He makes the same faces. God made something happen. Connor rhymes with Nonna,Donna and December 9th your second great grandson will hae the middle name Tiernan. Kathy had another stroke so sad,she stopped mortgage payments in 2019 and didn't tell us so we are stayoing with Caitlyn,her fiance Tyler whom you would of loved.Savannah is a true Tierney Cote workaholic. I had a few nervous breakdowns. But I am scared winter is almost amongst us.

I know the Lord is taking good care of you. I love you Donna

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Second Mother who became my Dear friend. You will always be in my heart. Always...

Dearest Donna:

Happy Birthday in heaven dear Donna. Each day I think of you and miss you. I would love for my telephone to ring and you you would be there for me saying "Hello." You were a wonderful friend to me for so many years and we had a lot of laughter together. It is hard to believe that our children are in their in their 40s and Michael is 53. We will be joining you soon.

Your children and grandchildren love and miss you very much.

I will always love and miss you Donna.

Pat

Seven years have passed since you died Donna. I miss you so much today and wish we could be together. I picture your beautiful face and I feel so sad that you are no longer here. Your children and grandchildren miss you so much and will never recover from your loss. I am getting older and will see you very soon my friend. I love you still very much.
Love always Your friend, Pat.

Mom I truly hope that you can come for me sooner rather than later I am physically alive.Three reasons,,6 traumas spanning less than 5 years trauma after trauma,i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy if I had one miss and love you

To my dearest Donna: It istill is a dream that you have died. I still feel your presence and I talk to you. You were such a kind person. You never forgot a birthday or Christmas. Life is emptier for your childreb and grandchildren as they miss you so much. I know when I talk to them, I can feel their heart talking. You were loved so much. It is so hard to know that you left us four years ago. I still hear your voice, your laughter, your words and I know that I miss you. I know that I will probably be the next one to see you. I will hug you and tell you about everyone. I love you my friend. Pat.

Mom I will never forget three years ago this am when they told me you were gone. I was forever changed If i could go nback to the peson i was before this terrible tragedy,i would be thrilled. i need you so much,i amnot the same numb,other traumas continued after you left that i finally just shut down. I know it's temporary but you were who i could always count on and the phone never rings and I never see your work number and your cell phone 774-240-6155. I wan't ready to lose you,it's unfair,too soon and any way is tough but there is too much i have to say and do it can't be real i tell myself.Tell Grampy and Nana that i loe and miss them so much.The third year has been hard. I check on John,haven't lately as I have been a shell of who i was i miss and love you so much,can't wait to see you.Because life has put me through the wringer even before you left. I died in side. I know in sme mysterious way you are around I love you Mom

You have been gone for two years and it is very hard to know that I no longer have you. I miss you terribly. I know that your family is devastated that you died so suddenly. I am grateful for the time we had together. I loved having you for lunch so often. I loved your children completely. I will always love you Donna.

I miss you Mom ,Grampy's there now,I miss him too,Grandma went to be with you.I'm not the same I am trying to come back and I am slowly getting there,if you saw what happened after the dog bite,it would of broken your heart. When I see you again,it won't matter,the scars will be gone,inside and out. I hear songs and the girls miss you. Caitlyn will be 20 and she did it Mom!She mad Dean's list twice and is double majoring in English and Psychology. Savannah is doing great and am proud of them.I moved to Fall River. I pass by your house,the one I should of told you to stay and feel a bit responsible for. I miss you and Je t'aimes toujours.Love love you..Shawns both love and miss you too.

Dearest Donna: It is funny that I just listened to your voice mail this morning and I was missing you. You are loved and missed each and everyday. Life is not the same without you. Your children and grandchildren miss you so much.

I will always treasure our long friendship.

Love,
Pat

Dear Donna,

I've been thinking so much about you this week. It's been two years now and I still think of you often because I hold so many memories of you in my heart. Your family and friends miss you terribly. I hope that you know how much you are loved by so many people. We all miss you so much. Hope to see you again when it's my turn to go.

Thinking of you Mom and missing you on your anniversary xo

"In Loving Memory"

Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
And I'll come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I'm glad He set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And you always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

Mom,Grandma went to be with you and the Lord yesterday and she loved you so much as you have loved her...Missing you so much and Grandma was so sweet when you left to be home and called me crying 27 years after the divorce and loved you always..I never heard her cry but she was there for us and never stopped loving you..xo miss you mom

Nonna,I love and miss you so much!!Thank you for being the best nonna,I will always be your kitten..Love Savannah..xo

Dearest Donna:

I still miss you so much. Often, I want to pick up the telephone to talk to you. Then, I know that I will never be able to talk to you again. I do have the last telephone message you left me. It is first on my phone. I play it and I know that you are near to me.

I don't know how it happened that you fell down the stairs and hit your head so hard. I sometimes feel that I want to break that fall. I would have done that you know.

I appreciate the good friendship we had together. We were truly a family together. We talked so much to each other over the years. I always wanted to protect you from the world. I wanted to protect your children as though they were my niece and nephew.

We carry on without you but we all have that sadness in our hearts. I see Celeste and Shawn faltering without you. They want to talk to you and have you with them. I know that you are always with them in spirit and that will never end.

Pierrette calls me sometimes. She is so lost without you. She loved you so much. I don't think her cancer is going well. I will call her again. She wasn't able to talk to me for very long beause her throat hurt her so much. She tells me that she is not afraid. She told me that she will call me but hasn't.

My children and grandchildren are okay. I will see them next week.

I love and miss you everyday. I am grateful that I had you in my life for so many years.

Your friend,
Pat

A candle for you always..

Mom,You loved flowers.Daisies were your favorite and then hydrangeas..I used to pick them all for you and even the dandelions..I remember when I ate the honeysuckle flowers..You would say "Celeste,stop eating the flowers"God I miss you so much and love you toujours

Mom,I miss you so much today it hurts. The last day that I saw you was on Mother's Day..I will cherish it forever. I know that I will see you again..Give Nana a Happy Mother's Day Hug from me..Love you toujours..Love Celeste

We miss you so much Donna.There is still a hole in all our hearts. Not a day goes by without a sign or just one of us thinking of funny memory of you. I see your face and mannerisms in the girls often. Its sad that your not here but im happy to have the memories that i do of you. You are deeply missed and loved.Enjoy your peace and serenity, until we meet again. Celeste misses and loves you more than you ever know.

Celeste, Thinking about you today. Love......Annie

My Dear Friend,
   I celebrated your 60th birthday on the 4th even though you are in Heaven now. I listened to some music that we both enjoyed. It is so hard knowing that I can't see you or hear your voice anymore. You will always be in my heart and memory. Hope you had a Happy Birthday in Heaven! Hope you got to hear the angels sing. Love you, Kathy

Happy Birthday to you Donna. I think of you everyday and miss you. I loved you very much. You were so kind to me and my family. We all loved you. When I think of you, I think of you in purple and lavender. I see your beautiful eyes that glistened when you were happy. I remembered how you grew. You were not able to put gas in the car and then you finally learned. You became very mechanical and checked the oil. You were afraid to face the world, but then you did. You went to work in Quebec and I felt so proud of you. You were so brave when you went back to Massachusetts and was able to work at difficult jobs and you succeeded. I am most proud of you for being so close to your family and friends. You never forgot any of us. I will never forget you Donna. I carry you in my heart. Love, Pat.

Mom ,I was looking at your pretty gold bracelet on my arm,then an hour laer a an appt..it fell right off after months!!Thank you Mom,for staying nearxxoo

Donna,
Your passing has left so many devastated. So many peoples lives were effected when u passed. Myself and your immediate family have received many miraculous signs that you are happy and at peace. It's still extremely difficult for Celeste,Shawn cote,myself and all your grandchildren to go on knowing we wont see you in your earthly body anymore. Although your presence has been seen in dreams and is felt by us sometimes, it is still crippling to your family that you left so unexpectedly. No one will ever know the sadness and anguish Celeste has endured. Only those who have lost a best friend or an extremely close family member could begin to fathom the pain and hurt she feels. They say time heels all wounds, but some wounds leave scars that last forever. I can honestly say Celeste has a permanent scar on her heart.

You would be so proud of Celeste, she is so strong like u were. Life hasn't gotten much easier since June 12 but Celeste continues fighting and not giving up just as you taught her. We ALL have moments of weakness in life but she is as tough as you were and with the love and support from her friends and family I know she will be ok. She wants wants to see you and hear your voice to say I Love You Mom one more time. She tells you she loves you everyday also I find myself saying "thank you Donna" for raising such great children. I will cherish every memory I have of you. You had such a deep passionate love for your family and i see it through Celeste with cait and sav. I really cant ask for more in my life than to see your values passed from your daughter to my daughters. I have and always admired and respected that about you. I just wanted to thank you again.

We all take a little comfort knowing we will see you again but till then, we all love and miss you and there's an emptiness in the heart and soul so many of us feel from the impact you have made in our lives. Caitlyn is graduating soon and is going to college. She wants to honor you by earning a degree. Your little kitten Savannah speaks of you constantly and always with fond memories of your sweet nurturing kindness. Please guide them and be their guardian angel when Celeste and I cant.

So I will leave you with this Irish prayer I know you loved hearing from your mom Marie..............

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Donna,
   You were the best friend that anyone could ever ask for and I will always treasure the time that we had together.
   I met you on the school bus when you offered me a seat next to you and we became friends from that point on. I was the new girl in town, 16 years old, and you introduced me to all your friends and family. We hung out together almost every night during our teenage years. We had a blast going to parties, concerts, movies, the beach,and cruising the drag,(as they used to do in Brockton). We even made Macramé necklaces and plant hangers together! Most of our experiences together were fun times but when things got tough, we helped each other out. You were a very kind, caring person like those in your family. Your mom, dad, brother Bobby and sister Joan always made me feel welcome.
   You fell in love and married Guy at a very young age. You chose Linda and I as your bridesmaids. We wore purple and lavender gowns, your favorite colors. I remember your wedding song was Colour My World by Chicago. You looked so beautiful. Soon a beautiful baby girl named Celeste was born. I enjoyed my visits with you and baby Celeste.
   Shortly after that, you moved to Canada. Your handsome son Shawn was born there. My husband Dave and I enjoyed our visits to Canada. You always made us feel at home. In fact I remember you were with me the night I first met my husband! 
   We lived so far apart, you in Canada and I in Colorado or New Hampshire, but we managed to keep in touch and catch up on all the news. You were always there if I really needed you, without being asked, and I tried to always be there for you. I will never forget the support you gave me when my father died. That is just the kind hearted person that you were. 
   Later, you moved back to Massachusetts and met John. I can't believe you were together for 17 years!! Sometimes the time goes by so fast, it seems like the blink of an eye! I wish we could have spent more time together during that time. 
   Life for you had it's ups and downs, the death of a boyfriend, going through a divorce, raising children as a single parent, the death of your mother and you tried to cope the best that you could. I know that it was hard for you to let go of those that you cared so deeply about. You had to be strong for your children and grandchildren. You loved your family dearly. 
   You were a very caring, sweet and beautiful person. If anyone ever tried to take advantage of that, you were a force to reckon with!!!
   I always hoped that we could spend more time together, but I will always remember the times that we did have. I want your family to know that they are always in my thoughts. I'm so sad and miss you terribly. You will always be in my heart......my everlasting friend.

My dearest Donna:

I like to go all the way back to the very first time that I met you in front of St. Patrick's Church when Celeste was two and one-half years old. Your eyes were so sad and lonely and I knew that I wanted to extend a friendship to you. That day, I bought a ceramic bird to bring to you as a token of my friendship. You were so grateful for my friendship. You put Celeste in the preschool and our close friendship began between two families. You became my family in Sherbrooke and I became your family. Celeste and Shawn felt like my niece and nephew and you felt like my younger sister. We shared so many beautiful memories of our families spending the day together. I remember so well our children sliding on the snow, playing street hockey, playing in the house together and eating so many meals together. I remember so clearly meeting your parents, brother and sister and felt that we were always together. Even when you moved back to Massachusetts, our friendship always stayed intact. I loved you so much and always wanted the best for you and your children. It hurts me so much to know that you are no longer here but you will always be part of my heart. I talk to you daily and it is always about the same thing: the well-being of Celeste and Shawn and their families. You loved your family so much and I feel that I have to keep close to your family for you. You are loved and missed each and every day. Your friend forever. Pat.

Marjorie (Dutrasigns@yahoo.com):
Words seem inadequate for the sadness I feel. You brought many gifts into the lives of your family and friends. I am proud to of known you since I was 14. My prayers and thoughts are with all your family and friends.

I am very fortunate to not have to look at pictures or recall any memories to remember your face. When i wake up in the morning I see a piece of you staring back.Your Celeste. I go upstairs and proudly see two more reminders of you. Caitlyn and Savannah. In so many ways I see you in them. Their love of family,loving kindness for cats,certain stares and looks or the way the light reflects on their faces from a distance.Little Donna's.I pray they find your strength and independence within themselves to endure life's hardships and struggles.You mentioned to me on occasion you were proud of all of us. Don't ever forget we were very proud of you too! Life is complicated and unfair sometimes but you were a fighter and maintained a successful career for 25 years. That is rare for a single mom of two. Well done. You were big hearted,unselfish,beautiful and attractive woman inside and out.We all know how very intelligent,witty and perceptive you were.I will miss your cooking :)and your caring and nurturing soft spoken voice. The one lesson I learned from you that I will never forget is, discipline your children but do it with love.
Amazing lesson from a selfless woman/mom/grandma/friend. Celeste,the girls and I are eternally grateful for all the help and support you have provided for us over the years.This July i will have known you for 20 years,12 of them as your son in-law.I will sadly miss your bruising cheek pinches and extremely long and strong bear hugs. Je t'aime beaucoup.Vous pouvez rentrer à la maison maintenant maman! Rest easy,your work here is done.
