Happy Birthday. You are still remembered and treasured.

Happy birthday to my sweet, wonderful mom! I think of you all the time and miss you more each day. I love you and hope your spirit is content and at peace. xoxo

We will be thinking of you today when we eat our Halloween candy. Your spirit is still alive and well with us.

Thinking of you today, Mom. I miss you so much and hope that your spirit is happy, and that we will see each other again one day. Sending you love. xoxo

Happy birthday, Mom! This will always be a special day to me. I am so lucky to have had you as my mother. I love you. xoxox

Happy Birthday. I have been baking your cookies and making food for the dog. I feel like you are with me when I do.

Thinking of you. You are missed and loved.

Thinking of you especially today, Mom, and hope that you are at peace. I miss you just as much today as I did 12 years ago. All my love. xoox

Happy birthday to the kindest and most creative mother I could ever have asked for. Thinking of our time in the basement workshop when I was little, where you would sew and teach me to read with my little plastic alphabet. Thank you for giving me such a loving foundation on which to build my life. Miss you so much. xooxox

Happy Birthday. Thinking of you today and eating some chocolate in your honor.

Thinking of you and missing you today, Mom. Sending you all my love. xoxo

Happy Birthday. Thinking of you and holding you in my heart.

Happy Birthday, Rae. You are missed. xoX

Happy birthday, Mom! You have been on my mind so much lately. I made one of your recipes over the holidays (delicious) and it was as if you were here with us. I also found your beautiful note a couple of weeks ago, tucked away in that book--thank you. I loved picturing you writing it with all the trees in bloom behind you. You are missed and loved very much. xooxxo

Although I had not seen you in many years, you were my most favorite aunt. I was named after you, (middle) also although my memories are sketchy in the early 12 years of my life, for some reason I remember everything about you. Your beautiful face, your soft hands, your smile, your great laugh, your kindest of eyes. Every time you came over, every time we visited, you would make me feel special and loved. There are only a few ppl in my early life that remain vivid in my heart and you are one. xo

I think of you all the time, Mom, and I can't believe it's been ten years since we've seen each other. I miss our time together so much. I hope your spirit is content and happy now, and that we meet again one day. Love you. oxox

Happy Halloween. I lit a candle on the mantle for you. XO

Thinking of you on your birthday and every day.

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever." (Tennyson)

Happy birthday, Mom. I love you. xooxxo

Thinking of you today and every day.

Happy birthday, Mom. Thinking today of the story of your early childhood with Aunt Doris and missing you both. Love you. xoxo

Happy Birthday. You are loved and missed.

Another Halloween without you. You are missed.

I was just thinking the other day how much the world needs your warm and kind energy. Miss you so much, Mom, and think of you all the time. I love you. xoxoxo

Thinking today of what a generous, creative and kind woman you were. I have so many memories of your countless gifts to me. Wish you were here to celebrate your birthday. Love and miss you, Mom. xoxoxo

Happy Birthday, Rae. Thinking of you.

We will, literally, light a candle for you tonight. XO

Nothing is the same without you, Mom. I miss and love you. xoxx

Happy birthday, sweet mom. I miss you as much today as I ever have. I hope we see each other again someday. All my love. Xxoo

Happy Birthday. You are missed.

It feels like so much more than six years since I've heard your voice or seen you. I think of you every day and hope your soul is happy and at peace. I love and miss you, Mom. xoxoxo

Thinking of you today (and every day) and hoping you're celebrating your birthday somewhere with Dad. Love you. oxox

Happy 86th birthday, Mom. Wish you were still here and we could get together tonight for dinner, maybe in downtown Northville. I miss all the wonderful times we had together. Love you. xoxoox

Happy birthday, Mom! Thinking of you and wishing you were here to celebrate. Love and miss you. oxoxoxox

It's been three years today, and you are still very much missed, every day. Love you, Mom. xoxo

I think of you every day, Mom. Love you. xoox

You were a beautiful woman and true lady. Everyone who loved you (including me) will miss you. So will all of the animals you loved to overfeed.
