Tributes
Leave a tributebelieve its been 9 years since you left, but believe me, you wouldn’t like being here right now! The world is experiencing so much heartache with this Covid pandemic still out of control, and our America looks nothing like it did 9 years ago. If you can see us down here, and our ongoing challenges we are faced with, please send us strength and guidance! I don’t get to see Lynne or Russ much but Sandi, Steve and the kids are all doing good! My family is doing good too but we are all being tested and coping skills are required! We are all strong and can endure, but we are tired and need a break! I think you'd tell us “this too shall pass” and to raise a glass of GnT to moving past all this anguish! Anyway I recently watched a video of my baby shower before Robbie was born and listened to you talking with my dad (who was filming) and remembered just how beautiful, kind and graceful you were and how much joy you brought us all! Sandi was there holding baby Jake. So many years have passed since then but our tender hearts don’t age. It feels like yesterday and as always, you are still very missed!! ❤️
Hi Mom... been thinking of you more than usual today. Cannot believe it has been 6 years since I held you in my arms and said good bye! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you . As. I get older I see more and more of you with in myself and can only feel blessed to have you a part of me. So many times I feel your presence and am always amazed when we as a family are together .. "over the rainbow plays" and I know you are with us. Oh how I wish I could sit and talk to you and hug you only to hear you say " everything will be ok" ! I picture you beautiful as ever, smiling and next to Dad, " Hi Daddy" I miss your big bear hugs and rubbing your feet... !! I see you and Mom holding each other smiling and being so proud of all of us... we were all so lucky to of had the best.. unconditional love and support... and because of that I am strong and able to manage what ever life has to throw my way... I find myself telling my children stories of my Mom and Dad.. boasting about how lucky I was... Yes, Dad I am still making those brown bag lunches for my girl, and each morning reminiscing about your brown bag lunches you so sweetly packed for us with adorable art work on the outside...
Thank you Mom and Dad for always being my hero and teaching me countless lessons in life in helping me be who am am today... YES , Mom I am still writting my chapters of life.. you were right I should of wrote a book, still trying to figure out how I want my story to end...I love you Mom and Dad and I know I will see you again someday.. keep smiling and holding each other...smile because you make me smile everyday.... I hope God is taking care of your soul and you are both peaceful... with more love than you can ever imagine.. so good talking to you , sweet dreams and virtual hugs and many kisses.. your E

The Next Chapter
HEALING
I am whole and well through the healing power of God within me.
I have the spark of divinity within me. It is a healing light that infuses every cell, tissue and organ of my body temple. Just as a spark ignites a candle flame illuminating a room, the spark of divinity ignites a healing power that knows no bounds. It is active, vital and powerful, working within me at all times. It is part of who I am.
I can facilitate healing by seeing myself as whole and well. I picture divine healing power filling me and strengthening me in mind, body and spirit. I breathe deeply, cleansing my body of toxins and filling my mind with life-affirming thoughts. As I do these things and more, I become attuned to the healing light of God that is continually renewing and revitalizing me.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.--John 8:12
Your life has made me realize that I now need to go on and be the strength for my family; as you so beautifully did when Dad passed away. So Mom, this next chapter of my life is dedicated to you. May your grace, warmth, kindness, unconditional love and heavenly light guide me and show me the way. I may stumble, but as you always told me, "pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start all over again!" Thanks Mom, off I go~I know you and Dad are by my side. ~ I am Blessed to have you watching over all of us~
