Mom, miss you so very much! You would be so proud of each of your grandchildren AND your great grandchildren. They are getting stories about youAll good. Lol. Ted has now passed away but is in heaven with you, dad, grandma and so many other family. Love you so much.

On this day 8 years ago you left us for your eternal life with our Lord. As we Celebrate Ted's Birthday we smile with our tears of missing you and joy for the peace you now have. Every day you are in my families heart and mind of how much you Loved us and we Loved you. You are greatly missed and I so wish I could just share and visit with you about all our goings on. I miss your wise advice and tenderness with me at times. You would so love to know that Chis and I are being able to take the trips we have dreamed of. My only regret is not being able to take you along! I LOVED traveling with you!!!

Mom I miss you VERY much. Every time I am able to spend time with my grandchildren, I try to give them the great and endearing memories of me, as you gave to your grandchildren! I so long for our times together and taking little trips. You were such a trouper with how you just went along with what ever was required of you with my family. Every summer, seeing all the camp trailers on the road, I think about how you painted the cushion in the RV rental, to high the lantern burn on the seat cushion from Dad. Such good times! LOL

Mom, it has been 7 years. You are missed. Your great grandchildren hear stories about you and our little Jack is now 10 years old! Love you forever mom.

What a truly beautiful lady my Aunt Betty was. She had a unique laugh and was a kind soul. Aunt Betty was always so good to me and she was my mom's best friend. I really loved her!

Mom, you are so missed. I think of you when I look at your great grandchildren. How you would love all of them. You are always with me. ❤️

Mom, happy birthday. You are with dad and family. I have missed you so very much. You now have five great grandchildren and a new one on the way. I love you more than words can express.

Thinking about mom lately a lot. Wishing she could be here to enjoy seeing Sonja and Anna getting their lives going as grown-ups. I think she would have enjoyed how Edmonds has changed and the place we have found where we are settling in, and some of the pottery we've been finding here. And interesting how often mom comes up in our conversations. Yesterday I took one of her paintings into a framer to get it reframed. It will be great to get it out for people to see, and every time I look at it I think of mom and her tray with her paints painting in the living room at Richmond Beach.
