There is so much I would have liked to share with you over these past years. I can only hope and pray that your happy in your new home surrounded by God's love and with Dad and that your watching over us. Kelly is doing fine and Hayley is getting so big! Greg and Reni are in Germany...Bob and Cindy and kids are well. Although Matt has distanced himself from us. I have a new man in my life..Randy...he is very special....he is kind and you would be happy to meet him. He is a CPA..lol

Year 6 Mom and your always on my mind everyday . I miss you...and know that you are in the. presence of God and all the angels.
It seems a very long time ago that you left us. The hardest thing has been not having all the holidays to spend with you and Dad. Getting together with everyone ....so much has changed. If only I could tell you what I have gone through with my surgery....and what happened to me.
I want to believe you know...because I have faith that you are watching over me. Every August my body and mind seem to know the day is drawing near...I can sense it. All the good memories appear and the painful feelings of watching you pass. I reflect and become sad....but then it turns in to a smile...knowing that you are at peace.
I miss you so much....love your daughter Renee

Mom.... I hope you know how much you are missed.
So much has happened since you have been gone.
I wish I could tell you. I have stayed strong because that is what you
had always taught me by showing me your strength.
Five years without you feels so very long...but in
remembering you today, seems like only yesterday.
Love you and miss you.....Renee

It has been three years and I know everyone in this house misses Grandma and thinks of her often. During family discussions and events we wonder what Grandma would have to say about a situation. Many times we know and have a good laugh. Grandma Sterling always had time for her grandchildren, greeting them with a big kiss. She would feed them her famous "Grandma macaroni" and send them home with another big kiss. Bob and I both miss her daily, she really was an inspiration and still is. Miss you Grandma!

I love you.... your daughter ....Renee

so much liked the beach and the warm weather. The photos we included are from her trip to Florida. She was a wonderful sister-in-law.

Mom, thank you for being you. You were always there for me and for the family. Great sense of humor and ability to handle anything. I know the last 4-5 months did not turn out like we had hoped. You are with dad and the rest of your family now. Love you always, Bob

The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters: He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His names's sake...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me in the presence of my enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over... Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever..... Psalm 23
Fran let me know in her way.

I had an awesome opprotunity to escort Renee and Fran to a play in Rochester NY. Fran was sitting in the little cafe before the play started while Renee and I walked around looking at pictures and plaques on the walls. Miss Fran comes up behind us and says "What a nice looking couple". Having spent a lot of time with Fran in the early morning for breakfast or just coffee, I know she had her opinions and would share them. Fran walking up and making her comment at the play, I knew I had found alittle favor with her, because her comment was not just about how Renee and I looked together physically, no her comment was much more than a physical appearance compliment. I would like to believe that she saw how much love I have for Renee in the way that I handled Renee when she was ill. I have had the awesome opprotunity to love Renee, be friends with Greg and Reni, and meet and spend my birthday with Bob and Cindy and family. The Sterling Family I know Fran, Bob, Renee, Greg, Cindy, Reni, Kelly, Hayley and last but not least Matt are wonderful people. They all have a rare compassion for people. I love Renee and I adore the Sterling Family. Whatever. Parkinson's Disease has in store for me through my life, I know that I have been blessed to know the Sterling's and Greg and Reni taught me so much about living with Parkinson's. You all are awesome people and I miss you. May your heavy hearts be lifted, May you soar with the Eagles. God Bless
