Hi Mom,
So much has happened in this last year. I have been completely sober for 3 years now. The kids are growing up so fast. I still can believe that Alyssa is 16 years old. Christina is doing great also, and Reign. Well the are healthy and happy children. I have Bryan (he is the love of my life). Everything you could want and ask for in a person and partner.
I still miss and love you very much. I hope you are at peace. It seems to be a long time since I have had you visit me in my dreams. I love you so much.

Hey Mom,
Another year gone. Life is great for me I am in a very happy place in life. I still think about you often. Well gonna keep it short this year. Live you always.

Happy Birthday MoM,
Well its been another year and a very adventurous one at that. I am 13 months sober. I moved into a bigger apartment and my kids are growing so much. It's still very hard every year this day. Because you are not here anymore. That being said I hope that your new life has many more blessings and love. You are still deeply loved and missed here. Happy Birthday MOM. I love you.

Hey mom, I just wrote you not long ago for your birthday, things for me are explainable. But its much longer of a story than I am willing to put here. Well if you have stuck around you know what's been going on. I love you. I wish we had more time together, well I hope that peace has come to you. I am finding mine. Well working on it. I am working on my 4th step. For some reason I haven't been able to get through it. Its not easy. But definitely worth it. Well until another year...I love you mom.

Happy Birthday Mom....I miss you. So much has happened again..its never a dull year for me...Girls are getting big. and so is my son Reign Patrick. No longer with his dad...well we love and miss you sooo much...Happy Birthday Mom.

Hi Mom. It's been another year...I still miss you so much. The need to have or want you in my life has never lessened.
This past year has been a good year for me. I had a baby boy. Got my life back and am in a relationship with an amazing person...I miss you so much and love you....

we sure miss you cousin!!! :(

Hey Mom, just wanted to say that I live you so very much, it is hard to still recognize that your no longer with us, I think about you so often, I think about how much I still need you. I dream about you all the time. Its how I know that you are still with me. The girls still ask for you all the time, but they understand you have passed to a different place. If only we could visit, what I would give for just a hug and one mor kiss from my mother. I live you so very much and miss you so much. I do hope your next life has great adventures, all the love and happiness in that life. You are forever missed....until we meet again.

Mom, it is hard believing that you passed. There are so many things we
Will never get to do together again. Although days pass where I just want to curse your name for what you didnt give to me, and I feel hateful because you are no longer here. Then I remembere all of the things that you gave up in your life for us. Everything you would do. Like almost breaking the door to the church down because I came home crying. You wouldn't ever let us be disrespectful to our elders. You tought us to love deeply, and hate was a much stronger word than it is to say. If there was a single moment in time I could have with you again, I would crawl my butt up in to your lap and hold you tighter. I would listento the beat of your heart and for that moment love you with all that I could. I still need you, and any moment knowing that you are no longer her is so unbearable. How do I be the mom in me without you. It is the mother you were for me, that made the mother I am. I have been trying. I do hope that any suffering from the passing of your life will ease with time. people enjoyed being around you. I prey That your trvels into the sprit world are better than any celebration or birthday or ponderosa party ever was. I prey that you are able to not look back here and carry on where I know you will always be home. I Love you! Forever and always, always have and always will. I just want you to know, I will always do my best to be me. That no matter what I will neverforgetwhere I came from, and hope to succeed in life the way you alwaysbelieved I would. Hey mom I love you. I dont know what to say, I hate that your not here that everything is getting worse. That I feel so alone. I dont know who my family is anymore. I dont have you an your unconditional love. I hate that I had ever said hurtfulthings to you. Because while you love me still even after I would say I hate you or couldnt wait till I was out of your life was a complete lie. I just didnt know how to express myself to you. And I wont get time to learn either. I cant stand to remember you, it hurts. And it doesn't seem that anyone wants to remember you with me. I feel alone with your passing. And its been a year and it seems to only hurt more. I know I am supposed to probably write a bunch of condolences, but I ddont believe that what you would want to here. Truth is I am far fro ok with you passing. But I have to live with that, and it sucks. I lve you and miss you.

Helen, you are deeply missed. One of the Best women I've known in my life. Your laughter, kindness and Love you left imprinted in our lives will stay forever. Your Smile was a contagious one. I'll never forget our camping trip we all took to Salt Springs and the laughter and memories will stay forever. You will Forever be Missed but Never Forgotten
