I wanted to wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday today. I miss having a mother to talk to, to put my arms around. You certainly left us way too soon but no one had much choice in that. I know that you are in Heaven and are looking down on all of us and watching the family grow that you gave life to. There are many family members that are there with you so you are not alone. I want to say, I Love ❤️ you as I don’t believe I said it enough when you were here with us. Until I see you there.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom. It has been awhile since we last spoke but you live in My heart everyday. I am so envious of everyone who still has a mom to call on the telephone or drop by for a visit just to say hello. It has been almost 23 years since the day you left. Seems like a lifetime ago. I am sure you have been watching down on us and seeing how the family has grown. I pray that one day, we will see each other again. Love you Always Robert

HI Mom
It's an anniversary I would have never liked to remember. 22 Years ago you left us to go to heaven. A lot has happened over these 22 years. We didn't always agree on things but i was young, and you certainly had your hands full. I just wanted you to know that I still think of you and wish you were here. :(

Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day Mom. Seems like the years are flying by. I am sure you noticed a few additions to the family line. What else can I say that hasn’t been said? I will be turning 66 this year, 4 years later than your passing and I realize what a gift life truly is. Amazing at how much life was still left for you and all that you would have still been able to enjoy, to laugh and to experience. I know you are watching from heaven.

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom!! I don't know what to say anymore as I have said it all many times over. You left us to soon and missed seeing all of us growing our families, the many grandchildren. There is only one thing that never changes. I Love and Miss you So much!!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom
As I look around and see all of those who are lucky enough to still have Mom’s to talk to, hug and be hugged when needed, I look back at all the years that we were apart and didn’t reach out to say Hello, how are you. We had our issues growing up, but as I approach my 65th birthday I understand the challenges that life throws at us and we aren’t always able to handle it the way we would like. You never stopped being Mom and I always loved you. I hope you are enjoying the peace of Heaven and having everyone to visit without having to travel in a machine to get where you want to go. Enjoy your special day and keep watch over the growing family that you brought to life here on earth. Say hello to everyone and let them know they were lived as well. “Love you Always “

Hello Mom
So Today is the anniversary of your passing 20 Years ago. Most people would comment how time flies. The truth is when you loose someone you love time seems to stand still. Everyday you flash back to a time in your lives that you remember, the good and the bad. I know you didn't live the life you thought it was going to be, but you put the most you could into it. You gave all!! Plenty of things going on right now but I know you are watching over all of us. I will Always Love You, that is the song playing in the background right now. Until I see you again I know you are at Peace!

Happy Birthday Mom. Today you would have turned 82 and would be wondering how the years have gone by. The number of grand babies and some great grand babies would probably even shocked you, but you would have been great at it. As Marina will tell you i seam to talk to a lot of people I don't know but happen to run into and they always talk about their Mom & Dad and how their getting older. I tell them I lost you at a very early age and they should be sure to spend as much time with their parents as possible because one day, they will be gone. I think about you often and hope that your eternal life is bringing you the happiness you missed out on when you were here. You always did your best to look out for us and provide what you could as we grew up. I Will Love you until the day I die, and then i will be able to put my arms around you again. Your Son, Robert

Hello Mom
Thought I would stop by and say hello. It has been a few years since I have been home to visit. I think it is time to make a trip and see how everyone is. We didn't get a chance to spend a lot of time in later years and some memories have left me no matter how much I try to hold onto them. I missed having those later years to talk and hearing your voice. Keep an eye on everyone and do what you always did best. "Love you Always"

Happy Birthday Mom!!! I hope you have had time to get to know your Grandson Richard, who is also in Heaven and gone too soon. You have a new great granddaughter, Madelyn, who will be turning 1 next month. She is so beautiful.Melissa & Patrick are truly enjoying her and being a Family. You would have been a young 81 this year. Still able to live and enjoy life. No matter the years, I still miss you and look back to all the years we missed together. Katerina is growing up to be quite a young lady. Chase and Ryan are working on the Dad & Son thing. They could use a little help if you happen to be around. Eric & Justin are doing good together, at least from the outside looking in. :) Marina and I just celebrated our 11 years of "I Do" Ally just turned "Sweet 16" how about that? Sierra & Brandon have had a few challenges but are strong and overcame them. I will try to not a whole year pass before I write again.I love you always and pray one day to see you again. Enjoy your Heavenly Birthday!!!!!

Hello Mom, It's been seventeen years today that you left us. 62 was such a young age to go! There was so much I didn't get to tell you and so much you didn't get a chance to see. We have a new member of the family, Chase. You would love him! Ryan is loving being a Dad. It's been a tough couple of years. I now understand how tough it had to be a Mother in our younger years. You were always there and always found a way to make things work out. I Pray and hope I will see you one day. Say hello to everyone and continue to watch over us.
"Love you Always"

Happy Mother's Day Mom
It has been awhile since we last talked but you are in my thoughts everyday. Lot's has happened since last we talked but of course you see all of it from your looking down on the family. As I get older more comes to mind on all the things I missed while growing up. In the loss of Richard I used the term, "Gone to Soon" and I realize now that you were a Mom "Gone to Soon" At the age of 62, you still had so much life to live. I know you didn't necessarily have the life you wanted. You had to grow up quick with 3 children before you were 20. That was a lot to handle and not an easy time. But you never gave up and you did everything you could to keep us together. My heart ache's tonight as i go over all the years we had together. We didn't always agree and had our share of arguments, BUT you wyou did for usere always there, no matter what.
So tonight, I want to tell you, You were always Loved! There was never a moment that I wasn't grateful for all you did for us. One day we will meet again. So until then, know that you are still Loved and you forever will be in my heart. "Love you Always"

Hello Mom I came to visit today as you know and was somewhat sad to see things a little bit grown over! Ryan and I went to find the Lowes in town and came back with some grass trimming shears and after a little while had you all trimmed up, and then we moved on to Grandpa & Grandma and finished up with Dale. I guess you could say you all received haircuts today. We stopped by The Village Market as the flower shop across the street was closed. It was fine as they had a beautiful mix of flowers with lots of colors. Seems like were always in a hurry. I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked to. I hope you like the flowers. I will "Love you Always"

Good Morning Mom! Just dropping in to say hello. Found a few pictures I wanted to add to build on the memories! I wish I had more. For someone who was so important in my life I don't have many. We did have a lot of fun I a our younger years didn't we? My memories are not as strong on those early years but I have some! I hope you have had the time to find everyone and get caught up on the news! What do you think of Richard? Quite the grandson, right. Tell him I said hello and that we miss him a lot! Katerina is quite the young girl. I hope you help keep an eye on her for me, she never had the chance to meet you but she has seen your pictures. I miss you Mom
Tomorrow is Vicki's birthday, I know you know that but maybe you could drop in and give her a hug from me since she is so far away! I miss her being around. She is quite the women!

Janice,
Hi Janice, today is the day you passed away 16 years ago. I remember when I went to your funeral and I was pregnant with my son Josh, (he was due two weeks later but I begged my dr to let me go to Ohio to see you, which was an 8 hr drive). I remember growing up and even though you were strict with all of your kids and me too when I came over; you were still the one that always wanting to do fun things. You always included me when you took Jean, Robert, Vicki, Mark and Dale to: Lake Milton, Idora Park, Canfield Fair, Silver Park for fireworks or a picnic or other celebrations and fun places. You also went overboard for Christmas, we always got the most presents from you. Christmas eve you and Lewis always brought tons and tons of gifts over for us to open the next morning. I always loved how fun things brought out the "kid" in you. And you and Lewis were always remodeling our house for us. And I am thinking that was mom and dad's Christmas gifts. Like putting in a new stainless steel kitchen sink and putting in a big sliding kitchen window in place of an old door and little window. I know there were more, but those stuck out in my mind. You took Kerry and Sheri in when they needed a place to stay and you also took care of mom when she was super sick, you took her in to your home to make sure she had the best of care. You had the biggest heart and cared so much for others. I am sorry I didn't see that as a kid growing up. As a kid, you were a big sister, but you were my "second mom" you included me in all your family events and I came to believe that Jean, Robert and Vicki (and later on Mark and Dale) were my brothers and sisters, not nieces and nephews. I learned that as I grew up, and mom was gone, that I relied on you for all the motherly advice. When I was pregnant for all my sons, you and Karen were always there for me to help with any questions I had. If it wasn't for the two of you, I would have been lost. I remember when I was pregnant with Nathan and lived in Indiana you and Lewis came down and took me and Bonnie out to eat. That was so nice of you, but I felt really bad cuz as I was getting out of the car to go home, I had "morning sickness" inside the floorboard of the backseat.

Happy Mothers Day to the most dedicated, hard working women I ever knew. They say you never know what you have lost until after you have lost it. Those words ring loud in my heart as in our later years we didn't get the chance to talk, visit and share life. It is only now I realize how much you gave of yourself to always make sure we were fed, clothed and roof over our head, which back then, at times was a significant challenge. I always loved you, but I could have shown it more. I thank you for all the sacrifices you made for me and I pray that I make it to Heaven to see you and spend the rest of Eternity catching up and showing you just how much I loved you. Be at Peace and I will see you when I see you. "Love you Always"

Hi Grandma, it's been a long time since you passed and I miss you coming to visit. I remember all of us getting together eating Victorio's pizza. I remember you would always call me Kimberly never Kim or Kimmy, you said Kimberly was my given name and that's what you will call me. You were the only one to call me Kimberly no one does now and that's fine with me, it gives me that memory of you being the only one to. Love you

Hi Mom, I hope by now you have met your grandson, Richard and shared some memories. He is a great kid with a big heart and I know how much you loved to laugh so I imagine he has you in stiches by now
if there is such a thing in heaven. I know he is ok but if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on him I would appreciate it. I know you are well and I just wanted to tell you, I really do miss you. I know in the later years we weren't around each other much BUT you are still in my heart and as Richard says, I will "Love you Always"

Janice, you were my fun big sister! You left us way too soon! I remember growing up that you would always take me to fairs, fireworks, amusement parks and fun places. I loved the summer you came to visit in alliance and stayed with me 3 weeks, in the late 1990's. I felt I really got to know you as grownup sisters that summer. I have pictures of you on your very last visit with me...Nancy was there too. Three sisters together, sharing our love and supporting you with the loss of your husband. Nancy came out of the bathroom with green goop all over here face and you laughed until you cried! We got the hearty laugh frozen in time... I love that picture of you and love and miss you! My regret is that I didn't call or check on you after that. You left phone messages and told me I didn't need to return the call. How I wish I had! Please, everyone reading this, pick up the phone and call your loved ones! I love you Janice, your little sister, Karen
