Here we are again, Mom. Fourteen years since you slipped away. You left the world much as you lived in it: quietly and without fuss. I miss you deeply but I’m thankful you were spared the pain we’ve gone through. We will meet again.

It’s your birthday and we’d celebrate it like always. But no matter how much I miss you, the past few years have been very difficult and I’m glad you’re in a much happier place. Please know you’re loved and missed and quoted often.

There will never be anyone like you.  Love you always.

Happy Birthday, Mom. I miss you so much but I'm glad you were called Home before we lost Karen. Your heart would have been broken like ours. 
Even though I didn't always show it, I was so grateful that you were in my life. We were all fortunate to have you for so long. You're missed today as much as the day you left us. Rest in Peace.  Carla

Mom, Seems like yesterday, but it's been eleven years since you passed from us.  I can't imagine you taking kindly to not having visitors because of Covid, and I surely wouldn't want you to go through the deep sorrow we've felt these past two years. Karen was your heart and I know it would break you to lose her, as it's broken us. It's good to know you're resting in peace, as you deserve.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Grandma
Grandma I miss you very much and think of you often. I knew once you were called to be with the lord I'd always have a Beautiful angel watching over me. The last year and a half has been awful. You n momma keep watching over all of us that love and miss you both very much

Dear Mom, Another year, another birthday without you. We all miss you, but I'm still thankful we didn't have to share our losses with you. You're in Heaven with those we love and lost and I'd like to think we'll all be reunited someday. In the meantime, Happy Heavenly Birthday. You are not forgotten.

I can't believe you've been gone ten years, and even though I still miss you every day, I'm glad you're in Heaven and not here in the midst of our sadness and heartache. I'd like to think you and Karen and Don have been reunited. Until we meet again, rest in peace, Mom.

Happy Birthday, Mom. This has been a bad year for all of us and I'm glad the Lord took you Home before the unthinkable happened to our family. I know Karen was the light of your life and I know she loved you beyond measure, as you did her. I feel like I'm both motherless and childless, and I can only hope the two of you have been reunited in Glory. Your selflessness, your generosity and your quick wit will be forever missed by those you left behind. Rest in Peace, Mom.

You've been gone 9 years now, Mom. I'm thankful you aren't here at this very bad time in our lives. Your heart would have been broken, like ours. But never forget that you are still in our hearts and will always be loved.

Hard to believe how fast time passes, Mom. There are three new little people who you would have loved as much as we do. I was honored to be the one by your side when you took your last breath here on earth. You did it the same way you did most things, with little fuss. But I know there was fanfare in Heaven when you arrived. We'll be reunited someday, and things will be perfect. I love you.

Happy Birthday, Mom. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Knowing your courage and strength and capacity for love, I only wish I could have done more for you when you were here. You would dearly love Carson, Abigail and Ryker and you know they'd love you as much as we do. I don't know how Heaven works, but if you and Don pass each other, think of me, who loves you both.

Happy Birthday, Mom. The older I get, the more I appreciate everything you did for me. Your love was unconditional and you were so special, not only to me, but to everyone who knew you. There are three little people here now who I wish you could meet--you're a great great grandma! Today I'll sit and reflect on past birthdays and trust that one day we'll be together again.

Mom, Another year has gone by and I sit here and think about your last day, snowy and dark, when God called you home. I sat there and watched you take your last quiet breath and realized I was finally an orphan.  I don't know what Heaven is like, but I'd like to think you and Don have seen each other and shared a smile. Rest peacefully, Mom. I wish you knew how much you meant to me.

Amazing how times goes by, Mom. You've been gone five years. God called you home on a cold, snowy night and I lost someone very special. You're always in my heart and I know I'll see you again someday. We didn't say it a lot, but I love you and I know you loved me. I know you're peacefully resting with the Lord.

Happy Birthday, Mom. Time goes by so quickly--hard to believe you've been gone 4 yrs. Abigail is here now---how you'd love her! Thanks for being such a good mom. I appreciate each and every thing you ever did for me. You were kind and generous and patient. You forgave my mistakes and loved me when you shouldn't have! Until I see you again, my love is always with you. Carla

Many changes, Mom, since you left. There's a tiny man who you'd love and a little girl who will soon be here. I can't help but think how much you and Sara would adore them.  I miss you and I think of you daily.  Carla

Not a day goes by that I do not think about grandma. I know she is looking down on all of us. I think about how she would have not worried about it being her Birthday but she would want to know where the cake was. Happy 100 Birthday Grandma.

Mom would have been one hundred years old today which in itself is hard to believe. One thing remains constant----cake and ice cream would have been at the top of her list today. I miss her presence in my life, her wry sense of humor, and her gentle spirit. She lived a life of quiet dignity, an example to all of us. Rest well, Mom.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years. I'll always be grateful for the years Mom had on this earth, that she was able to "keep her boots on" up until the very end, and that God took her in such a peaceful way. She was good, and kind and loving and generous to a fault and even though we know she's with the Lord, we miss her gentle spirit and her presence with us.

Today is my Grandma Ruths Birthday...she would have been 99 years old..but she left us in Feb 2010. Many if you knew my Grandmother and what a wonderful, caring person she was...she played such an instrumental part in my returning to school. And even though I had my doubts many times about school and life in general she was always there to lift me back up and put me on track. When I received my As

Mom would have been 99 today. As usual, the most important thing to her would have been to enjoy family, friends and cake. She is dearly loved and greatly missed by all her family.

Christmas

February 27, 2014

I don't rmember the year offhand but I do have a the picture. Grandma was living at the nuring home on 331, and I had asked mom what Grandma needed for Christmas and it happened that she had everything but mom said she could use some new bras. So being the granddaughter I am I knew she needed something stylish not some plain old white ones. I found the cutest blue one with little pink hearts on it...when she opened the gift she just smiled...the picture I have she is holding it up just grinning...she wore it a good bit lol..I know she is reading this now thinking why on earth would I be telling people this but I want to think she's still grinning and sporting it in Heaven :)

Darn Duck

February 27, 2013

One of the best thing that happened with Grandma is when Josh and Alyssa was smaller. The kids and I went to see Grandma and drove to Sally Buffelo Park to feed the ducks. Josh was small, hardly walking but Alyssa was all over. Grandma was helping Alyssa feed the ducks when another duk came charging after Alyssa for some bread. Grandma drop kicked that duck like it was a football lol.
