This was taken the weekend of your passing. She was such a comfort to me and I doubt she even knew it. B/K & E met me that night @ L's. (During the wee hrs as they arrived in town) You are luved 2nite as much as you were that night. We miss you awful.

 This is one of the pictures on the screensaver that was made for me  by you, I look at the pictures & think of you so often, I miss you more than words can ever say, I'll love you forever.  You died in the summer & here it is almost halloween, I guess the days pass all the faster as we grow older & our loved ones pass away one by one.

44 years ago today. My mom said It is your BIRTH day. Every year without fail she insisted on singing the happy birthday tune to me. It became a family tradition throughout the years to expect mom's call...Grandma's call then to her great grandchildren...Grammy's Call on your birthday. She cried once because she had literally forgotten the date and didn't realize it was my bday and she had missed making that call. We made sure I reminded her of the 'date' from that point on. As years slipped away Calendars days tend to run into each other she always said. And made me PROMISE that reminder. Recently she had missed my ltl nephews birthday. Between his leaving for elementary school and the business of work of his parents and just overall life's schedule...he had been put to bed as she slept through an evening nap. She awoke to having missed him and delivering his song. She cried endlessly. For to her little things were big things. And most big things were simply things. She had a way of knowing the big things would pass and that one day EVERY little LITTLE THING would be all that would matter. Take time to smell the roses she luved to tell me. Take time to make the cards instead of buy them. Take the time to make the time for the little things. Today as my 44th birthday came and went. All day I soooo longed to hear that phone ring. I longed to hear her voice singing that goofy Happy Birthday Song. It was a LITTLE thing. But it now is a big thing I will miss 4ever. For it's the first bday when I didn't receive 'The Call'   I miss u I luv u..

  Over 3 years ago we lost our brother, oh how we miss him & now we've lost you too. I will always remember you & Tom & I will forever love both of you.Tom had given you a song & asked that you have it played @ his funeral, I am trying to put it on here but if I can't it's    " Be not afraid"  Anyway it was played @ the church & it is played alot at my home when I am lonely for him. I can't help but think how the family chain has been broken & how there is already another link added. I now have 3 brothers & I hope they all know how much I love them. Time sure doesn't wait for anybody,  we have to always be ready to meet God.It's hard to be left behind, to hurt & miss those gone before us.
