Wishing you were here Mom. I left a story on this site today about Easter
Sunday 1957 when Ray, Dickie, and I
got baptized. Thinking of you today and wishing you were here but know it was your time to rest in peace in Heaven. So as I wipe the tears from my eyes today I realize that. Love, Renee

Happy Birthday Mom! We miss you so much, your laughter, your humor, your stories, and your singing. You loved to sing and I remember your beautiful singing voice in the house, at church, and other gatherings. I remember once when I was in L.A. visiting Richard in the nursing home. It was a Sunday and there must have been a church service going on because we heard the singing of "In the Garden" down the hall. So you and I and Richard started singing with them, "... and he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me that I am his own..."  We miss you, Mom, and Fontaine still talks about how kind you were to her. Love you.

102 yrs ago today you were born Mom and the World was blessed with your presence for 93 years. And our World is not the same without you. It seems like
the core of what held us together is no longer there. Sad but true. We miss your laughter and your stories and common sense insights you shared with us. Yes, you will always be forever missed but not ever will you ever be forgotten. Love Renee

memories remain. Love, Renee

Thanksgiving day yesterday was not the same without you Mom. Just got busy with a luncheon and then dinner at Christine's house. Nicole and I went together. Seems like our family has gotten so small here but I was thankful to be with my two granddaughters. You would be so proud of how lovely they are. They too miss you very much.
Love,
Renee

Mom, I can't believe you would be 101 years old today. You seemed to be eternal, as though you would last forever. I miss you so much and I wish you could enjoy the grandchildren I have now, as I know you enjoyed all of your grandchildren. We miss you so much.
Love from Ray and Fontaine

Thinking of you Mom on this day Mother's Day 2022 and of all the years we used to come to see you with a cake and flowers and presents and how we would have a real nice day visiting. It seems like so very long ago now but the same wishes are there of love and happiness for you today.
Love, Renee

I can't believe it has been seven years since you have passed. I still miss you every day. I remember how talented you were, with that beautiful soprano voice, how much you loved to sing. Your talent for painting was amazing, and even more so because we didn't know about it until you retired. I think whatever gift I had for painting I got from you, just as the talent for sewing your daughters got from you. And, of course, your wonderful stories were a gift as well. You were a natural story-teller, and you loved to make people laugh. Thank you for sharing those gifts with us. We love you, Ray and Fontaine.

Seven years ago we sat at your bedside as you took your last breath Mom and passed on to Heaven. You have been missed
so much each and every day and always will be. It seems that we have not remained close at all with only time to time communication.
It's really sad like there is nothing
keeping us together but we all miss you deeply and wish you were here.
Love, Renee

I miss you Granny Esther. I still remember receiving the birthday cards you mailed me as a young girl. You were always so thoughtful. When we would visit you, I loved hearing all the stories you would tell us about your rich history. I wish I could hear you tell the stories again. Even though your gone, you are not forgotten.

I still miss you, Mom, I think of you often. You are my role model with my kids, never judgemental, always willing to listen, always there to let them know they are cared about. In your own quiet way, you spoke volumes. I hope you are at peace, with loved ones, and without pain. We love you, Ray & Fontaine

Another holiday without you mother dear. We are still in a pandemic and a new strain is

Missing you as always. love, Renee

Missing you, as always, Mom. I think about you often and wish that I could call you and we could have a long talk. You were a good role model as a Mother, you taught me never to be judgemental with my kids and accept them the way they are. I think that is the essence of true love. I know you are watching over us now. Love you.

With loving memories of holiday dinners we shared with you Mom
I think of you today and miss you.
In the midst of a horrific pandemic we are not sharing this holiday to-
gether but just talking by phone.
I got my two Covid19 vaccines but
Amber, Christine, and Nicole have
not yet and not sure about Richard.
The main thing is everyone's okay.
But we all miss you very much.
Love, Renee

Thinking of you Mom this Christmas day and missing you as always. We are in the middle of a pandemic and because of the malific Covid 19 Virus
we are in a shut down here. So we

Just talking on the phone to each other to stay safe. I miss you every day and love you very much. Renee

Happy Mother's Day momma, so much to tell you, my little black doggie will soon be passing over to Rainbow Bridge and I can hear you say "keep your chin up". Grateful for another day on this journey called life. I pray our family will find love and forgiveness during this time like we've never seen before. I love you mom!
All my love, your Dee Dee ❤

Hi momma, thinking of you today, I found a feather and looked up and said I know that was you. Grateful I have some of your paintings, oh your button collection and the knitted throw blanket you made for me. Schools out for now but I know you'll register as soon as it starts back up. I'll have to buy some bagels and cream cheese. Gosh I miss you with all my heart. Thanks for loving us kids know matter what. All my love your D D

97 yrs old today 1-22-19 you would be now mom. It seems so odd not to calling you or visiting you with Amber and Christine and Nicole with a cake and gifts. We don't have any relatives that we know left.
I hope you are truly at peace finally.
Just letting you know you are loved and missed. Always, Renee

Christmas 2018 Thinking about you and the rest of the family, knowing your all together makes me happy. I often pick up your book and read from it which brings a smile to my face. Sadly I feel I don't have a family anymore. I try and stay in touch with Dickies girls, Andrea's kids, well Myra hasn't kept in touch with me. I speak to Vikkii in Hawaii and she sent some of Ron's ashes to me. Grateful and Blessed Forever Missed!

Happy 96th Mama! knowing love goes on forever gives me some relief because I know you are safe and have love all around you. Things have not gone so well between us left behind I guess you understand the depth of feelings between everyone here but things happen as they do. I can't seem to stop crying every time I come to this site and hear the song you played on the piano when we were growing up. And many times I think of you and feel like a lost child. Still trying to understand why people leave us and know I have to never give up. Ron's death hit me harder than I ever realized it would. So if you see him tell him I love him and everyone else there with you like, daddy, Dickie, and Roberta. Love, Renee

Easter 1957

March 31
Remembering Easter Sunday evening 1957 when Ray, Dickie, and I were all baptized at Panorama Baptist Church in Panorama City, California at 7:00 pm. You were so proud Mom of us as we three had made our decisions to do it. You and daddy had already done so and it made you very happy that we did too. You beemed with pride in front of the whole congregation and every Easter I recall that day and the happy smiles on your face and daddy's.
Today as I recall this memory I do so with tears in my eyes but at least I know you are in a better place. Love always, Renee
