Hi hon,
Sorry it's been awhile since I wrote. The girls certainly keep me busy! Happy belated anniversary, would have marked 21 years. May was a busy month between AJ's volleyball tournaments and exams, LJ taking finals and done with her freshman year. Getting ready for the summer head,, A s always I think of you often and miss you wholeheartedly. love you, xoxoxo mama jon

Hi B,
Still feels like just yesterday! My girls misses you lots! 

Every year, every day...always in our hearts and memories....

Hey bud, the world has changed so much since you left. It's crazy. But know that An and the kiddies are doing well. They're all strong and self dependent. My life also has changed since you left. it's been a rough road but like everybody else, will tough it out. We will survive. A new world, a new normal, a new beginning.

Hey dude. While we didn’t hang out all that often I still remember your friendliness and generosity. I think about you from time to time and I sincerely hope you are enjoying what the next life has to offer.

Hey man,

Been a wild year with COVID and everything. I even have a daughter of my own now. Can you believe it? Now I'm even older than the age you guys were when I met you. Miss you, buddy.

Hi Hon,
I think of you all the time...today marks 7 years when you departed us and our lives changed forever. I miss your loving, caring and fun and adventurous presence. Always wondering and imaging what it would have been if you were still here with us. You taught me so many things that I didn’t even realize it until I put to practice what I remember you doing or asking myself what would Bill do? You will always will be the love of my life..we have two beautiful children together. You are forevermissed...sending you all my love and prayers always.  I love you with all my heart...

Hi Bully,
Happy Birthday in Heaven! Soohoo Family still missed you dearly!
You are not forgotten!

Lots of Hugs and Love,

Hi hon,
Sorry it's been a couple months. Catching you up with January and Feb activities. January flew by, my birthday was special, the girls treated me to a wonderful french restaurant, reminidng me of the trip with the girls to Paris. So wish you could have been with us. AJ drew me a beautiful orchid painting. LJ took care of the dinner details. 
LJ returned to college, and AJ returned to school as well. We would have liked to go skiing but with covid still hesitant to go out to venture anywhere much. 
February was a bear with the weather...snowed a lot! AJ busy with school, volunteering and believe it or not doing sports at school and outside of school..slowly things are opening up but of course still vigilant with the protective gear. LJ busy with college and her studies and doing her best to manage remotely with her studies and at the same time balancing the college life. i could not be more proud of the girls and how they are handling the pandemic which has been alomst a year. Chinese new year was quiet, year of the ox. Many people getting the vaccine now and a relief, hopefully light at the end of the tunnel . I miss you and love you hon, not a day goes by that i think of you. xoxoxo mama jon

Hi Hon,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....always hard this time of year during holidays without you. We have many wonderful memories.

To say the least it has been eventful year, where it was a year of adjustment for all. Having to learn to live with the restrictions of the covid epidemic, celebrating LJ's accomplishment graduating HS and moving on to her next chapter of college life , anabelle growing up to be a young lady and almost halfway through HS, learning how to go to school hybrid model and getting a taste of college admission tests! 

LJ turned 18! Can't believe how the time passed and wish I could turn back time. A young intelligent, independent lady.
We celebrated in non-traditional ways for the xmas and new year's holiday but made due and still "congregated remotely". We say good bye to 2020 and look to hope and light at the end of the tunnel in 2021!
We love and miss you always...xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
Catching you up on November events! So behind...Thanksgiving holidays different this year, not our typical Thanksgiving due to COVID.

Everyone celebrated seprately but we continued making our traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings, Turkey, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and Anabelle's mini pie desserts!

The Steelers doing great! So far undefeated! LJ made it through her first semester. So proud of how she is handling college life despite what is going on in the world right now. She is back home and safe. 

AJ busy with school and continues to do the hybrid model. Despite sports being cancelled and postponed for the year, we still signed her up for club volleyball! 

As for me, okay and steady. Wishing it was warmer to do outdoor things, hopefully it will be a mild winter, so we can do some skiing in December.

Love you hon and miss you lots expecially as we head into all the holiday season...xoxoxo mama jon

October 2020
Hi hon,
Fall is here...leaves beginning to change..i love this time of year and reminds me of the times we went hiking at Minnewaska and apple/pumpkin picking. We were fortunate enough this year to go. We got loads of fresh picked apples and AJ drew on the pumpkin. She is quite the artist :) like you. LJ headed back to school. She really loves the town and school and has made new friends and settling in. AJ started up club volleyball again and a limited engagement of the intramural sports at the school.  She is very happy to be able to do sports again of course with the restrictions of new health guidlelines in place.  Love you to the moon and back, xoxoxo mama jon

Sept 2020
Hi hon,
September went and gone...AJ starting 10th grade hybrid program and LJ home from college due to covid. Cant believe how much our world has changed and managing it one day at a time.  We really miss you and as always wish you were here with us. We sen you our love ...xoxoxo mama jon

August 2020

Dear hon,
Defintiely a busy month...we made our road trip to UNC and took our baby to start college. So excited for her as she embarks a new milestone in her life.

We packed the car to the gills and got there safely. UNC is a beautiful campus and is a right fit for LJ.  Go Tar Heels! Anabelle starts school next month. As for me, busy at work and gearing up for the school year. Summer is almost over :( Miss you hon, love you so much! xoxoxo mama jon

July 2020
Hi hon,
July was a busy month, getting Laura ready for college mostly, busy with orientations, and getting dorm stuff together for LJ. Still dealing with the pandemic. Life is so different as we know it...It truly has been a big change in how we live day in and day out. love you hon, wish you were here, xoxoxo, mama jon

June 2020
Hi hon,
Truly a difficult month as covid-19 still a force to be reckoned with and throwing a curve ball in all our lives. Way of life has changed in the last 4 months, how we work, buy food, socialize. No family vacations, still too risky. However, we still manage to wake up each day and continue to keep all those we love safe and sound.
We visited you Father's Day and wished you were still here with us. We miss you so much. Anabelle and Laura finished school in the middle of the month.

Laura graduated High School, not your standard graduation ceremony but the school did a fine job to try to make it special and memorable. All the god families came to cheer Laura on. We are proud parents...she graduated in the top 5% of her class and was acknowledged by the school for her achievements. She will be headed to college next month and eager to start. You would also be

I know you will continue to watch over her as she starts her next chapter in life. Love you hon..xoxoxo mama jon

Happy 20th anniversary my dearest Bill...the love of my life.

It would have been 20 years today that we walked down the aisle and became husband and wife and started our beautiful life together.  your legacy lives in all of us, me, laura and anabelle and those who know and love you.
You are forever engrained in our heart and soul. I love you with all my heart and know you are always in my thoughts. Happy anniversary, all my love xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
A couple days ago , was a day that our world was turned upside down...it was a day i never would have thought would have happen until we were old and lived a long retired,and active and happy life on the sunny beach shores of San Diego.  I miss you each day but no that you will watch over all of us during these difficult and challenging times.  know that we think of you each day and wish you were here with us...love you to the moon and back....xoxoxo mama jon

Belated HBD! We remember you today. Especially since the world is now at the brink of the Zombie Apocalypse. I remember your advice to us- when the ZA does happen the best place to hide in is that building in Chinatown that was a former police station... take care of all of us and protect us from the virus!

Dear Bill,
Thinking of you today and belated remembrance of your birthday. I know you would have faced the current difficult times as you lived your life, with determination, courage, compassion, and led always by your love for your family and friends. We look to your example for the strength to get through this. Please continue to watch over An, Laura, Anabelle, and us all. We miss you.
Love,
Eric, Mom, Dad

Hey Bud,

Was just thinking not too long ago about all the tech "business" we got into back from ARC times. 

Rest in power...

Happy Birthday in Heaven! With lots of love and hugs from us!

Hi hon,
Happy birthday! Each and every day I think of you and wishing you were here to see the girls grow up. It's a new world now, challenging times coming our way. Times like this I really wish you were here to comfort me and make light of it and put a spin on it that this is nothing and make the best of any situation.
Love you and miss you, xoxoxo mama jon

Always in our hearts. Always on our mind. We think of you everyday and continue to share our lives and memories with An and the girls. You would be so proud of their independence and strength. The boys continue to live with vitality and exploration which is clearly a reflection of your continued influence. So cheers to you and another green birthday greeting. 

Love,
Jim, Anne, Brandon, and Justin

Hey buddy,
If this is you leaving me a message.....I hear/see you loud and clear!
Thanks for always looking over us and knowing that you are always on our minds/heart.
I shall speak with Egg and get things going.
Thank you for leaving the light on for us.

Hi hon,
A candle icon for a special milestone this weekend. I wish you were here to celebrate with me. You are always in my thoughts and heart.  I love to the moon and back...xoxoxo mama jon

Hi Hon,
Happy New Year, a start of a new decade, looking forward to what new adventure that lies ahead. Making the most out of each day and living life. It's not easy with the little curves and bumps along the road but we get through it with good friends and family and of course you watching over us. We try to keep positive and remember our blessings each day for what we have. As we know things can change in a snap of a finger.
December, LJ turned 17 and is a full fledge driver where she is an independent driver. You would be proud that our 1st born 17 years ago we held in our arms, having to feed her and change her and now a young lady where she can do most for herself. Before I know it she will be off to college and putting all she has learned to good use as she ventures into college life. You would be so proud, as I am that LJ has received acceptance letters to colleges. 
We witnessed BJ graudating from college and we were so proud of him. We paid hommage to you by taking a photo of him clicking his heels in mid air! It reminded of the pic that we took at our wedding...You have made such an impact in everyone's lives we always talk about if you were still here, what would you do or say in this situation...
Xmas was at our house and we had a blast with our usual games and tons of food! Again wishing you were here for it... really miss you during this season.
AJ pluging along hard at practice and a busy social butterfly...All the girls doing well in school. 
We love you hon and keeping your memeoy alive in our hearts each and everyday...hugs and kisses...xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
A little behind on activities with the family....November was a month full of firsts and events. I wsh you were here to physically to witness but I know in spirit you were here.
LJ has a junior license and started driving to work herself. She is becoming quite the indepenedent one. Last of finanical college stuff application completed and now just the waiting part. LJ training and learning skills. AJ training hard and started volunteering at her old elementary school. 
Thanksgiving party we hosted and was fun! Introduced new game with the family..saran wrap ball game and was a hit! A new annual tradition that we will start. We went on our annual outing to get our fresh xmas tree with our family of friends, a beautiful blue sunny day for it. Then we were off to PA with Nicky over the break to watch a college volleyball game was amzing to watch in person and the enthusiasm of the crowd was great to experience. 
That's November in a nutshell, we love you hon and miss you like no tomorrow....Happy Thanksgiving, xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
First off, happy fall! As always love and miss you...
Oct. was another busy month...Girls busy with pep rally and homecoming activities at the school, LJ and AJ introduced as part of the VB Varsity team and AJ performed at halftime at homecoming game. did our annual garage sale and all our friends joined to help raise $'s for EP's summer dance program. It was a fun day!
LJ submitted college apps and now we just wait for decisions...fingers crossed. You would be proud of her just as I am of what she has accomplished and ambition to flourish in the future. As for AJ, still acclimating to high school nicely and doing well in school.
Halloween was not without the festivities of girls dressing up in costume for parties and trick or treating..
That's it for October...love you and miss you to the moon and back!

Hi hon,
Months seem to pass more quickly now that the girls are back in school. September was a busy month for us.
Laura is actively getting her applications done for college early (of course with the help of kai ye and kai mas and good friends!), playing for the school varity volleyball team.I can't believe our little girls is now a senior and soon will be spreading her wings. 
Anabelle is also busy practicing and fundraising with her kickline team. i can't believe she is now a freshman in high school. They are both starting off in school exceptionally well. We would be proud parents.
As for me, busy with work, house stuff, and garden. You would be proud, finally sitting outside in our backyard and enjoying the last of the warm summer days. 
Now we are going into fall season...soon it will be thanksgiving and christmas. All going too fast! We love and miss you so much.hugs and kisses always.

xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
Catching you up on our July events! Can't believe how quickly the summer is moving along...Anabelle enjoying her summer with friends and Laura busy working in the city and getting a taste of commuting and working in the city.
We had a nice vacation, just the girls and I in Europe and saw and walked a lot . couldn't have asked for better weather and the food and sites were excellent. We know you were with us to guide and protect us on our adventure as we made it back and forth safely. We love and miss you always, all my love..xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
Sorry a little late with catching you up on June events!
June was a busy month for us all! AJ graduating from Midddle School and onto HS in Sept.  She is a smart cookie and proud of her. We went to see JJ graduate from HS and it was a beautiful graduation, we are proud of JJ as well and was so happy to be a part of his special day.

Your little girl turned 14 and she is growing up to be quite a young lady. A far cry from the little baby we cradled in our arms 14 years ago.
LJ finshing her 11th grade with flying colors, also very proud of her. She is very determined and has a busy summer ahead of her as we start setting our eyes on colleges and universities. So quickly how time has flown...I know you would be proud of our girls and know you are with us. We love you and as always miss and love you so much each passing day. 
xoxoxo mama jon

Dearest hon,
Happy belated 19th anniversary...our wedding day was one of the most memorable and happiest day of my life. I married my best friend and soul mate. I could not wait to start our life together as husband and wife.
You were everything I needed and so blessed I had the chance to be with you for the time wife had. So many times I dreamed of what we would do together when we retired as I know we would be up and around and not just sitting around letting life pass us by. If anything you've taught me is to live life to its fullest and take chances and venture out. I left you red roses on our anniversary, a symbol of my undying love for you today and always.
As always a sign from you that you knew I was there visiting with you as a gentle breeze swept by. love you with all my heart...xoxoxo mama jon

Hi hon,
First and foremost, we love and miss you...catching you up with the april activities!
Now that it's spring...it's getting warmer, some days rainy, some days windy..somehow I have a feeling you are behind those elements!
Tried to restart and prepare the garden for the upcoming summer season...Always remember you telling me the garden was my responsibility since I enjoyed it so much and it was my zen thing to do. Also mowed the lawn for the first time this season...trying to keep the grass green, trim and weed free as you did. Can't wait for the warmer weather to arrive and be outdoors as you also enjoyed to do as well. I still hear your song month to month, even 5 years later, the radio stations play your song which confirms my belief there are no coincidences and that it is a true reminder of you and letting us know that you are with us each day.
Happy belated Easter and I remember all the special things we did for the girls when they were little for the holiday. Love you Bill with all my heart.
xoxoxo mama jon

I continue to remember Bill by keeping his memorial card on my computer. I see you every day, but we miss Bill.

Just want to share that Bill continues to inspire us to love the great outdoors. He mentioned about once going down into the Grand Canyon, and it has become our family's next adventure, and if we do get to do that this May 2019 it will be in your honor Bill.  Warm regards and continue to watch over An, Laura and Anabelle, and us as well! Love, Edson, Nelda, Andie and Edge.
