Oh my how did we get to 17 years without you? It doesn’t seem possible. You are so missed but still so present in our lives as we share memories and stories. Your big brother is now 90…… and you’re never far from his thoughts. Please take care of him ❤️.  And please wrap your love and strength around Jo. You’d be so proud of her courage and strength - but we all need an angels guidance along the way.  We love you xxx

17 years ago you left us with a big hole in our heart. Never heals sweet mama. So hard when you lose your best friend too. I pray you can look after me during these difficult days. Having a tough time.

Happy Birthday my lovely aunt. We are all thinking about you today. Your brother has put his favourite photo of you and lit a candle in your memory. Love and miss you xxx

Happy Birthday Mama. Thinking of you today with hugs Missing celebrating your special day with you.

So many years without you with us - and yet you live on in our hearts and memories and those little messages we get from heaven. You were the most incredible woman - a trait you passed to your daughters (and maybe your niece a little bit too). Thank you for today - I know you had a hand in my good news. I love you

16 years and we still feel like it was yesterday. So many times things will pop into my head and I want to ask you about them. Sorry that we didn’t record the stories. It’s weird because last night I was thinking about your memorial we did in England on Annie’s headstone. Now why would that come to mind. Maybe you were sending me a message. You now have a great great grandson. Your great great grandchildren are growing up to be sweet kind loving little people. I do wish that you had been able to enjoy them. As this site says You are forever missed & always part of my heart. Sending love sweet Mama. Xxx

Dearest Mama
Happy Birthday. Missing you as most children do. Even after 15 years…there are so many times I want to talk to you about stuff. It’s an interesting time in the world and it’s heavy and on my mind. How to protect our Littles. You experienced so many things when you were a child and wish I could hear some of those stories again.  I look back on my childhood and thank you for me giving me such a great life. We were best friends & shared some amazing fun times. I miss those days. Sending hugs and kisses to heaven. Hope you feel my love for you.

You’re so missed lovely Barbara. My dad and I spend ages sharing memories - I love the stories he shares about when you were both children. Love you always

How can it be 14 years? I still think of you so often and smile at the memories.  You would be so proud of your family and all they do and achieve. And you would love all the little ones!!!
I know if you were here you’d be telling me to look after your brother - I am, I promise. He often talks about you and the childhood you shared together.  He still occasionally calls me Barbara when we talk and I smile when he does - a beautiful compliment.
I love you auntie B xxx

Another year gone & honestly the worse kind of year. I’m glad you didn’t have to be part of it. What would you have said? What would you have done? I will always wonder & glad you didn’t have to be part of. The Family is doing well. Great Grandkids are growing and blossoming. Been very hard on them not being able to go to school or see their friends. No traveling wearing diapers on our faces. No longer able to see people smile. Very sad state of affairs. Hope that you are having a heavenly birthday party with Tammy & Wes. Sending hugs & kisses. Love you Mama.

Happy Birthday Mama. 
We are in a most bizarre year 2020. Not sure I would want you to be part of this. I guess we would still be allowed to take you to dinner finally since they are allowing restaurants to open. I wonder if you would have been afraid like many of us were at the beginning. Now I decided I am going to live my life. I would have hated not being able to hug you. I wish you were here to join in our new arrival tomorrow Koa will be joining our family. It would be fun to see you cuddling our new baby. I remember how much you loved our Tobi Girl who I am sure is romping the hills in heaven with you & insisting you bounce the ball for her. You are always in my heart ❤️ and wishing desperately you were sharing the love & joy of all your Geat Grandchildren. They are truly love bugs. Sending you hugs and kisses.

I cannot believe it’s been 13 years - where did the time go?  You are so very missed.
Thank you for the penny this morning! Love those special angel messages, they make me smile so much.  Love you always xx

Because of recent events you have been on my mind a lot. I remember the stories you told me from when you were a child during WWII. I wonder what you would say. Would
You be worried? I don’t think you would
ever have expected to see this especially in the USA. We miss your wisdom & your love during this difficult time. Sending love to heaven dear sweet mama.

Miss & Love You. There’s always the missing of our phone conversations. Guiding me with your thoughts & ideas of what should be done. I didn’t always understand when I was younger, but as I age I get it now. I’m trying hard, but often feel like I’m failing to figure it out. I hope you are trying to guide me to make the right decisions for everyone. Know that we love you & miss you
Jo

I’ve learned this year to appreciate what an amazing mother & wife you were. Life lessons are not always fully grasped at a younger age. Sometimes life lessons are learned and shared and appreciated much later. Thank you for my amazing life lessons & skills. I now understand
how fortunate I was in life to have you as my mother. Forever thankful & missing you. Jo

Miss you.

Happy Birthday Mom. Sitting here by the lake remembering sweet memories. Desperately wishing we could still share the amazing new things we are doing as a family. Desi with her dance, Addy with her gymnastics, Casey wanting to be a big boy. D'Angelo, Devin, Dominic growing up so fast...Alivia (Bear) the English little with her big hazel eyes and pale skin. Hoping you see it all from Heaven. Love & Miss you

It's been 10 years since you received your angel wings. Our hearts are still hurting & wishing you were here. Life is never the same without your mom. Please continue to watch over us & know that we are sending hugs & kisses to heaven today.

Champagne toast and lunch in honour of your 80th Birthday!! Miss you lovely lady xxx

Happy 80th Birthday Mama. Spending this beautiful day in Watford. Shall leave the gifts at Grandma Annie's grave with your Memorial.
Love and miss you always

Believe you are watching over us. Just wish you could be here to share the joy we are having. A new baby boy Casey. Precious children to fill my heart with so much love. I miss you mama.

Think of you often and miss you so much. Xxx

Happy Birthday Mama...thinking of you today....I got the feather you sent early this morning....love and miss you....

It's been 8 years since you left. Life is very full with your beautiful grandchildren and great grandchildren. Another Angel you are sending us in November. God has certainly blessed us. We miss you and talk about you often. Our hearts are sad that you are not here to share all of our wonderful memories we are creating. But there are many days that spiritual we feel you with us.

My sweet mama: Missing you so much. I hope you know about these amazing beautiful great grandchildren. I'm trying hard to take care of all of them. It's so hard without you and Tammy here. We are trying to keep making precious memories and sharing those from the past.
Love you Mom.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful aunt. Miss you so much but you're always in my thoughts and in my heart. Stay close xxx

Another year without your physical presence. I know that you are always with me in spirit and in my heart. I miss sharing the wonderful events that are happening in our lives. I am sad that the grandchildren will not grow up knowing their Nana. As they grow I hope I will be able to share my memories growing up with you as my momma. Happy Birthday...I love you.

Beautiful Mom...I am so very sad today. So much has changed in the last few months. My heart is aching for what I don't have with all of you in Heaven. But it is also full of joy for we now have Dominic back in our lives. :) It is hard to believe that you have been gone for 5 years and that you now have my sweet sister in your arms. I love and miss you. Your oldest daughter Jo xxxoo

Happy Holidays mom. I miss and love you so much. Think of you everyday and wish upon a star every night. I talk to you everyday. I went to England and missed you so much. So many memories and so many tears. Your my angel from heaven and will always be,

Dear Barbara.......we spent too few birthdays together but even apart each one of your years alive was precious and I am just grateful and privileged to have had you as my sister.............only you know what you meant to me; no one else understands

Happy Birthday Momma. We are missing you even more today. Wanting so much to share all the good things happening in our lives. Take care of our little Addy in heaven until it's time for us to meet her. We love you and honor your memory every day.

Happy Birthday to the most wonderful woman I know... I miss your hugs, your voice and our little chats we had.. Hoping one day I see you again in heaven, so you can tell me I told you karma would get you one day. Guess what it did.. LOL I love you no

So many memories of a wonderful lady - visits to England, trips to Vegas, sharing secrets and gossip and endless shopping!! One of only 2 women who could tell me what not to wear and get away with it and who I allowed to call me "Katie-poo" - even wh

Missing you soooo much. Our life has not been the same since you left us. So much has changed and in some ways It has been good...you have 3 beautiful grandsons, a beautiful granddaughter that loves her clothes and shoes Just like you.

Barbara was my sister - funny, happy, classy, sassy, very good to look at, the best company and always a friend. She gave me great joy and comfort and my memories of her are always happy.

I love and miss you terribly mom. You did create a daughter just like you. Boy would you have a good laugh over that one. Always said Karma would get me. RIP and stay the Angel you were and are. Your youngest daughter Tammy xxxoo
