Hey Mom today you left us for your newest journey 2 years ago....back to your loving husband, our Dad has been so very lonely without you for so many years. I'm sure you're up there making Dad and Brett laugh with all your stories. Leslie helped me laugh with one today, she said you fell out of your wheelchair and when she asked you what happened you told her a man was pushing 48 miles an hour because he wanted your wheelchair!! You made us laugh so many times and left us with the best fun memories!! Missing you so much this time of year!!!! Have to see if Leslie can post 1 of your funny videos on here for all to see, also we need some new pics of you. Oh and by the way I know that was you who went after those chocolate cupcakes I hid in my closet tonight :) <3

Hi Mom, already we're at a 2nd birthday without you here with us!! This one would've been 95 that's a long time to live and I would imagine not easy. We were all so very blessed to have you with us as long as we did, but we still miss having you to talk to and making us laugh!! I'm so curious what kind of cake they have for you in heaven, it has to be the very best. Although you stayed here with your daughters and son as long as you did, you really missed Dad and I'm glad you are finally at rest and in his arms again! Also wanted to thank you for coming in Cardinal form and singing to me this week and also I don't mind a bit that you helped yourself to the ice cream sandwiches!! Happy Birthday and I Love and Miss you and think of you often <3

Time is passing fast here on earth Mom, hard to imagine you've been away from us for 6 months now!! I still have your summer clothes sitting here in my room that I packed up in November to make room for you winter clothes. Just haven't been able to bring myself to open the storage container and decide what to do with them yet....no rush, I'll get to it 1 day. One of the nice things about Spring always to me was our celebrating our birthday's, mine in May and yours in June. I know you were getting tired, and that's why God took you back, but like the saying goes we can never be with the one's we love long enough! Just want to say Happy Birthday Mom and I love and miss all your feistiness and shenanigans!! Also I'm sure you had the biggest cake with tons of icing today and lots of candy, I can just imagine Daddy and you dancing together to celebrate! I wanted to post a new pic in here, but didn't know how!

Somewhere in heaven my mother is smiling down on me.
I Love You Mom <3

Christmas was not the same without you and very lonely,
and I know New Years won't be much better.

Missing you.....

Doris, the endless teenager, is now dancing in heaven and has gained and the Earth has lost, one of the good ones. She would have loved the Frank Sinatra send off.

I have been trying so hard to stay busy, trying to figure out all that needs to get done and not wanting to forget anything since your passing Mom, not wanting to go out, but I have been going to work to keep my mind occupied.
On Wednesday, I needed to go to the post office and bank and kept putting it off, finally I decided to venture out.
I parked my car and started walking up the ramp to the post office. I casually looked down to my right and there I see a beautiful shiny black crow eating an apple core..I slowed down not wanting to scare it and right away it flew on the railing to my right next to me. I was amazed and started talking to it...saying how pretty it was and not to be afraid, I swear if this person had not come around the corner of the building at that moment, this crow would have came to me and landed on my hand. It flew over the ramp and landed on the left railing, stayed there for a minute so I could get a pic and then flew away. I know Mom that this Crow is now my Spirit Animal for you and it is said that the crow guided your soul to the afterlife and you have been born again.
I am so thankful for this sign and I feel comforted knowing you made it to heaven...
Love you so much forever more xoxo...Leslie

Wore a purple tee shirt this afternoon and tonight I'm wearing a pair of Mom's blue & white flowered pj's I bought her for Christmas years ago that her aides stopped putting on her at night not wanting to hurt her legs when getting her ready for bed after sitting in that wheelchair all day.....anyway can't wait to see what my next sign will be when she sees me in her clothes :) Also thought of you today Mom when I had a piece of Hershey's chocolate....I never saw anyone eat more candy in my life than you! <3

It's already been 5 days since my beautiful, unique,Gemini, loving, kind, generous, energetic, free spirited, life loving Irish Mom left this earth and went to heaven to be with my Dad after 33 years without him....I have been speechless, and unable to say much! But I have been so blessed to be getting signs from her, so far I am up to 6....she is comforting me still as always! Some of the best things I learned from her was to believe in Old Wives Tales and Shenanigans, and to always be kind and look at the bright side of life!!

My Momma and my very First Best Friend, Oh how much my heart is aching for you is so unbearable, but I am getting my strength knowing your are in heaven with daddy, your son, Brett John whom you have missed so long..and all your loved ones..and most importantly your heavenly father...I know he has you in his loving arms and no one loves us more than Jesus. I know he will restore your body, health, heart, mind and soul. I will be singing your favorite Frank Sinatra songs and know you will be happily and gracefully dancing with your loved ones. You were a wonderful mom, grandma and great grandma...Until we meet again, rest in peace sweet momma and know how much you were loved and will be missed by all who knew you...Love you forevermore...your Anna xoxo
