Happy 104th Birthday Mom. Where has the time gone? It goes by fast, that is for sure. It seems like just yesterday you turned 100. Well life is not much better than it was a year ago. Prices on every thing has either doubbled or tripple. Gas prices go up and down every week. We are going to sell off land all except for 10 acreas. Property taxes are getting out of site and it has gotten to the point thst we just can not keep paying for taxes any more. We left 5 acreas with the house and barn on the old place and 5 acreas where we live down over the hill. So we will see what takes place come next year and the taxes..  people just can not get ahead now days, takes every penny just to surive with just every day living and no extras.  .It is all do to the democrats in our govwrnment .itis worst than it was back in the old days forty's and fifty's.  I feel for theyounger generations as thy have no clue on gow to make and change things . SAD, SAD WORLD. Have a good day. Love and miss you.

Happy Birthday Mom. Sure do miss you and Dad. Well they are building a new home on your 18 acres. The house is being build right where the old farm home sat. It looks to be a big home with maybe 3 car garage. Thinks have changed so much. The world is has gone to H*** and gone. you and dad are in a better place that is for sure even though I miss you's so much.  all is in the air. It got really cold last night , down into the 40's. Burr. This is about all for now. Love and miss you Mom.

Hi mom, Happy 102nd Birthday. Hope you are doing ok. It does not seem like you are not this age.  Time is going by so fast now days. It is raining here on earth. It was a beautiful day on Tuesday. The sky was nothing but clouds . I kept looking for you oon one of those clouds but could not find you. Guess some one was in front of you. It was beautiful and so relaxing looking for you. Well Mom have a good day and i will write more latter. Love and miss you so much
. Pleas send me a sign you and Dad are doing ok .

Hi Mom, Life is not the same with out you. The world is going to end soon I think. Everything the Bible says is happening right now. People are killing one another, shooting our police. No one has any respect for other.
Miss you every day. Love you mom.

Hello grandma it's been one bad year . There is a virus called covid 19 and we have to wear mask because of are stupid government. I had a total knee replacement done on july 20 and I am still having problems with the swelling. Happy 101 birthday . Not a day goes by that i dont like about you and how much i love and miss u .

Hi grandma it’s so hard for me today knowing your not here with us and u passed way on the day of my anniversary at work. I been with meijer 26 years now and u been gone from us 4 years now . It does not seem possible that u are not here with us. I think about u everyday and love and miss u so much. This day is the hardest for me to get thru every year you have been gone. I know you are watching over me and your spirits are with me.

Hi Mom: it has been 4 years ago you left us. I will never forget this day as long as I live. It was about 3:45PM when you took your last breath. One of the care gives was with me in the room.  She had called me this morning and said I should get there as your breathing was heavy. I drove in and stayed with you all day . Her and I was talking as we were standing by your bed side and she said to me Dorothy your mother has just took her last breath. I said No she is ok, I could not believe that you had left me. I picked up your arm to feel your pulse and there was none. It was hard and still is hard that you are gone. I know you are in a better place and know that you are ok as every once in awhile a Red Cardinal comes into our back yard and I know this is you coming down to let me know you are ok. I miss you and love you Mom.

Hi Mom: Happy Mother's Day. Missing you as this was the day four years ago you fell and broke your hip.  We ate dinner and and then we called the ambulance to take you to the hospital to fix your hip which was done the next day. Doctors said the surgery went well and you came out of recovery and talked to us but you was in a lot of pain which this always seems to happen after any kind of surgery.  We had to take you to therapy but that did not happen. I guess God had a plan for you to go home with him and 18 days latter he took you from us. I will never forget that day as long as i live. I know you are in a better place and you and dad come every so often to let me know you are ok as a Red Cardinal appears in our back yard . We are doing ok , Jim and i both have some health issues that we are copping with. Neither one of us like having these issues but there is nothing we can do so we take medication and hope for the best and live each day to doing what we want to do. Miss you so much. Love your daughter Dorothy.

Happy 99th Birthday Mom. Hard to believe you are 99 years old today. Time is flying by. Hope you and Dad are celebrating along with all the other relatives there in Heaven with you. We are doing ok. jim and I both have some health issues and are on medicine for them.  I drive by the farm often and they sold a parcel of land, the old hay field going toward Grandma and Grandpa place. They divided that field into 3 parcels one sold for $52,900 and the other two are still for sale. Grandma and Grandpa old place is also for sale now.  Collins , wife left him and he is unable to keep the place is what I heard. Missing you and dad every day and wish i could walk up to heave and meet you at the pearly gates and talk for awhile but there is no stairway or an elevator so will have to wait . We still are living on our farm and it is getting to be too much work for Jim to keep up and the house is also getting to be to much for me to keep up. We are thinking of surveying a acre of land toward Piece Rd and have a small place build. Do not know for sure what we will do as neither of us want to move to town so we hopefully will stay here on the land. There is so much to write about but is just to much to write so I will say by for now and will catch you latter on . Love and Miss You. Your daughter.

Hi Mom: Sorry I have not kept up on this leaving you messages since your Birthday.  Sold you place the end of September. A elderly lady bought it. She has had the newer pole bar move up back of the house. Tore down the two small sheds and are working on tearing down the old big pole barn in the barn yard. The barn and other big shed by the drive is also gone. We just could not keep up with your place and ours too. We are going to start cleaning our place up and will be selling this place.  Jim's health is not the best as he has heart trouble and my left leg and ankle are giving me problems to the fact that days I can hardly walk. Went to the doctor and will be getting some test done here in a week. There is more going on but will let you know more latter. Hope all is fine with you and dad. Miss you both. Love your daughter.

Happy Birthday Mom, Today would of been your 98th Birthday. Hope you and dad are enjoying the day. Miss you so much and I know you are in a better place because every so often you send down a angel to let me know you are doing ok. Miss dad too. Have a peaceful day. It is a beautiful day here on earth, sun is shinning and it is hot. You probably not happy with me as I sold the farm. A older lady bought it and told me it is the most peaceful place she has ever stepped foot on. I am sure she will take good care of it. So please do not be sad as i feel the place is in good hands also. Love and miss you. your daughter Dorothy

Hi Mom: I see today you sent a angel down, I seen the red cardinal , it was here twice today and once yesterday. I have put your place up for sale. We just can not keep up with two places since Jim has had his heart surgery and I do not have the endurance to do much anymore. I have got to get moving more but it is hard when we have Ciara here as she wants our constant attention. She will start school in September and it is going to be hard on her. Tasha has started a new job in Holland, she is not working days which is better but right now she is in training and has to be to work at 4;30 in the morning. Ciara loves staying with us and does not want to go home because she has more to do here than at her home. They live in apartment in Allegan on their own, Jonathan is on his own also, lives in Richland right across from where he works but he will hopefully be getting a better job and more pay. Jeff and Lauren are still living at home. Things are not good with Kevin and Marla. As soon as their house sells Kevin will be filing for a divorce as he has stepped out on Marla and has a women in Canada. too long of a story to write. Theresa and Todd are doing ok.  Thanks for sending the angel down. Love and miss you.

Hi Mom: Well it has been two years since God took you home with him.The days go by and I think about you every day. Some days are not so good and today is one of them. Oh how I wish God had not taken you but he knew what was best for you with the recovery of your hip surgery and decided to take you home with him in a better place. I know God has plan for everyone. As you may or may not know we have been cleaning up your house and the two pole barns. The house is done but the pole barns there is a lot to do yet but it is winding down. Sorry Mom but we had to put the place up for Sale, taxes have doubled and continue to climb. I have a good friend as our realtor, his name is Paul H. So sorry to have to do this but Jim and I are getting older and our health is not up to 100% either. Jim has heart problems and I have cholesterol and knees and feet problems. Guess it is just that we are getting older and did not do the things we should of in the past to be healthy. What ever is to be will be. Love and miss you so much. Send me a sign today that you are ok please.

Hi Mom: It is Mother's day and I miss you. Do hope you are doing ok. Have seen the Cardinals come into the yard every so often so I know you are sending a sign that you are doing ok. Ciara is growing and will start school in Sept. and she is more than ready for it. She is such a sweet heart and has changed our lives so much. We do not have her with us as of often as we had in the past. The grand kids are doing wonderful, Tasha and Jonathan are living on their own now and it is not easy but they are making it. Jeff and Lauren are still at home. Marla and Kevin are going to get a divorce. Kevin had an affair with another women and still is. This is so hard on Marla but she has toughen up and taking it in her stride.  Theresa and Todd are doing ok. They have been helping us with cleaning up dad's pole buildings. Got the pace up for sale next week as we just can not keep up with two places. Jim has had some health issues and my knees are not working as good as they use to. Age is creeping up on us. Love and miss you, think about you every day. Love, Dorothy.

Hi Mom: Today is your 97th birthday. Happy Birthday. Miss you so much. 
God looked down and saw you hurting so he wrapped his arms around you and said come with me to a better place. He took you way to soon but he only takes the best. May you be resting and not suffering in peace in heaven. Have your angel send me a sign that you are doing ok. Love you Mom and miss you.

Mom: It is August already, the summer has flown by fast. 
We both are doing ok. The angel as not been seen lately as it has been real hot so am hoping you and dad are doing ok. Miss you. Love your daughter.

Mom: It has been a year since God came and took you away from us. I think of you every day and night. I know you are ok because a angel has been sent down. The angel has come in the form of a Female Cardinal. The Cardinal come just about every day and sits on either the bird feeder which we had to take down or it sits on the pool fence looking in.  We are doing ok. Jim has some heart problems but it has been fixed and he is getting better. Me I am fine , just tired of all the stress that is going on in our family. Now don;t you worry we are doing good. Miss you and Dad so much. Till next time keep a close eye on us.Love your daughter.

Hey mom it is me again, You have been keeping a eye on me, I see the Angel you sent which is a female cardinal. She comes around quite often and sits out in the back yard and looks toward the house. I know it is you because you always talked about how the birds are sent to let us know that you are doing ok. I just sent dad a note, he has been here often checking in on me. Miss both of you.

Hi Mom: Well winter has passed but it is still cold, looking forward to some warmer weather. Missing you every day.

Mom: Think about you everyday and miss you. I know that you are in a better place and with dad. Missing both of you.
