Leave a TributeI have been thinking about you a lot this week and all the wonderful times we had. Joe and family are in Tampa now and we hope to see them soon. Still have your picture on my mousepad and numerous places in the den remind me of all the fun we had at golf tournaments. Missing you,
Carolyn
Another year has passed and I still miss you as much as ever. I have been looking around the den today at all the pictures of you and all the memories we shared. We are looking forward to Joe, Robyn and the boys being close enough that we can see them. I still think of you often and what a wonderful friend you were.
Time has not diminished how much I miss you and your wise counsel. I know you are in a better place and we will meet again. Love you.
Carolyn
You know my heart better than I do so you also know it misses you everyday. Someday, I will hug you again. I feel you watching over me always. A sister who did and always will cherish the time we had together. Barb
Thinking of you with a tear in my eye today. I still miss you so much - all the fun we had together, all the talks we had, all the good advice you gave me over the years. Love you, my friend.
I still miss you like crazy. The last picture that was taken of the two of us remains on my mousepad and I think of you every day.
Happy Birthday. Today you and I are the same age! Still can't visit this site without falling apart. I guess it will always be that way. When we celebrate mom's birthday we will all have a drink to celebrate you and all the joy you gave to us. I love and miss you so terribly much. Barb
It has been such a hard day today. Such an overwhelming sense of emptiness without you in my life. Send a little extra love today !! I promise to pass it on!!
It seems like I just did this but it has been another year. That makes three now that you have been gone. It never gets easier and it never hurts less. Thank you for watching over me. You have sent me good things and protected me from the bad. In death, as you did in life, you are always there for me. I love you and miss you so much. Barb
Since I know you are with them . . . please give Dad and Joe a hug too! Wish I could say it was getting better but then you would know that wasn't true. I haven't stopped crying inside since Saturday November 6th, 2010 at 8:35 pm. What I would give to sit and talk about everything & nothing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU!!!
Happy Birthday, sister. Every year I think this should get easier but here I am again and I still miss you like it was yesterday that you left. You are always with me. I tell you the things changing in my life and although I know you hear me, I wish I could hear your voice.
give my love to Dad and Joe. Until I see you again, Love
Would you please say hello to my husband Chuck -- both of you can watch over me.
Friends who touch our lives never really leave. The memories continue as you have gone to live with the Lord. I always loved your laugh and your distinct voice. I am so happy that we were able to connect after so many years. You are loved and missed. Peace Forever! Diane
Happy Birthday. As always today we would be the same age. For a month we were like twin sisters. I wish I could say that time makes it easier to not have you near but it does'nt. That empty space is still there and always with me. I know you are watching over me still as I can feel your guidance and protection. To you all my love.
I miss you everyday. I so wish I could talk to you. My best friend forever.
I love you so much. Your sister, Barb
Love,
Sheila

Growing Up With My Sister Dee
When we were very little we dressed like twins. You always got the blue dress and I got the pink one. I always wanted the blue one but I was told I looked better in pink. You would just smile. As we got older we seemed to grow in different directions. You were the wild one and I did not understand. One night I came home after drinking a little too much alcohol. You could not stop laughing. We both married and moved far away from each other. Although we were so far apart in miles, we grew closer in our hearts. Life happened and we held on to each other. You being so strong, accepted me no matter what stupid mistakes I made. You never judged, you just loved. Nothing has changed since you left. No matter where you are, our hearts grow stronger. We will be together again someday. The hard part is the wait.
Love,
Barb
Tribute to Bev
Bev, for so long, you have been the heartbeat of this amazingly boisterous, warm, loving, wacky and outspoken family (that I’ve come to know and love so much) - and you will be dearly missed. Your essence - your spirit - however, lives on so strongly and are so readily apparent in all of your family, whose lives you’ve touched, influenced and enriched, that one can’t help but feel your presence, your spirit in each and every interaction with them.
You were one of the strongest, most unflappable women I've ever known and I have always admired not only your warmth and sense of humor, but your spirit, your honesty, your strength of character and unwavering sense of self (and often courage) in the midst of the familial chaos in which we can so often lose ourselves. :) You were truly an inspiration - to ALL who knew you.
I am so very thankful we got to come see you when we did, that I got to share one of your good days; I can still see your smile, hear your laugh. While my heart aches, for myself and especially for your family, I am thankful your pain has ended, that you are at peace, held in God’s loving hands and surrounded by love.
Love you, Kelly
