I am doing homework right for my college degree in psychology. I feel like you would be proud of the field I want to go into but also be worried about how emotionally taxing it’ll be. I feel like we would have such good conversations about what I’m learning, you were so intelligent. Earlier this week I celebrated your birthday with Charles. He asks me about you and I tell him of all our memories together. I showed him pictures of you and he said that you looked like you would have had a great laugh. I told him that your laugh was my favorite and that you could hear it a mile away. It is an honor for me to keep your memory alive. I miss you still 5 years later. I wish you could be here for all the moments in my life big and small. You were my first friend and biggest supporter. I love you Grey Grey so so much!

5 years and most of the time the pain is as fresh as the day it happened. I feel stuck in my grief mom. I know thats not what you want for me. I often think about how i should have been there for you but instead i had to give that time up for reasons i still struggle with. My other regret is not writing your recipes down but i think you would be proud that im actually a pretty good cook now. And you would definitely be fussing at me to dye my hair.
Mom, i havent found the peace yet? I ask God, but still nothing. I miss you, uncle Dick and daddy so much. My life has been forever changed. I pray that my heart can be opened and God will send me a sign to know that you all are still with me in some way.

Happy Birthday mama! So I went to a casino today because I knew that is how you would be celebrating your day. And as you would correctly guess, I did terrible! That was always Uncle Dick and me... the biggest losers...lol. I wish I could tell you I had fun but I can't find joy in many things these days since you've been gone. Everyday I want to call you and tell you something or nothing...just so we could both sit on the phone and sigh in disgust and say " I don't know" but actually we both knew what the other meant by that
..we meant that even if we were bored or disgusted with what life had for us at the moment, we knew one thing for certain that we loved each other and would be there for each other. You were so much more than my mom, you were my anchor and without you I am so aimlessly adrift. I hope you are celebrating with all your loved ones. I'm sure grandpa is so happy to have his "apple dumpling" with him.

Happy birthday MoM!!! Miss you so much.
Can not believe how much time has gone by, have so much to say, I tell those in my prayers. I wish you were here, it’s hard to believe that you, uncle Dick and dad are known longer with us, for me it’s still hard to deal with no matter matter how much time is gone by. I hope that you have an awesome birthday and heaven. Love you with all my heart and soul.

Happy birthday grandma! I know you would be at the casino today anyways, but I am still sad that I cant call you and sing happy birthday to you. You would probably ask me if I had a stomach ache because I sounded so bad lol. There has been so much new stuff in my life that I wish I could tell you about. I started my first relationship, I graduated high school, I started college. I wish you could have been here for all of it but just know I think about you in everything I do and carry all the lessons you taught me always. Happy birthday Grey Grey, I’ll see you one day. I love you!

3 years and the loss of you still takes my breath away. I'd give anything to have you here...to see your smile, hear your laugh, feel your hug. I'd give anything to just be able to dream of these things. Three years and I am still praying for peace. I hope you are with grandma, grandpa and all your loved ones. I hope you were there to welcome Uncle Dick and daddy. I pray heaven is all we hoped it would be and more. I dont want to leave this world because of my Sophie but I miss you all so much...one day we will all be together again I have to believe that it is the only hope that keeps me going in this messed up world. I love you do much mama I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most...you were always there for me

Happy birthday Grey Grey. I love you and miss you more ever day. I hope you would be proud of the woman I have become. I hope you are winning all of the jackpots in heaven right now. I will hold you in my heart forever and always remember you.

Happy Birthday mom love u always in more heart.

Mom I miss you so much. 3 years ago today would have been the last bday I could have been with you. I still don't know why everything happened the way it did. You were my best friend, my anchor, I continue to feel so lost without you. Happy birthday in heaven mama.

Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since my mom pass, today is her birthday you would have been 77 years old . I miss you so much mom, I wish I could pick up the phone and call you so I can hear your voice. I never got to tell you thank you for everything you did for us you were a awesome mom. I love you with all my heart and soul. I know that you are in good hands with our lord, you have been reunited with uncle Dick, another loss in my life. 
Happy birthday mom love you so much!!!!

Happy birthday Mom, miss you!!!! wish you were here. I know that I didn't always call a lot, but when I did I love hearing your voice, hate that I can not pick up the phone and call you out of the blue. The kids are growing up so fast you would have loved them they all have there own personality. They got to meet uncle Dick they love him, and you already know that we gave him a friend in Ariel, you would love Jenn my wife she keeps me going and makes me happy.

I never met your Mom, but I love this song and think she would, too.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHT-TF4KO4

It has been a year since you left me alone in this broken world. You were my mom and best friend...you were my person. A day doesn’t go by that my heart does not ache for you. My life has been forever changed. I feel so alone. You could always make me feel better your love was unconditional. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do to live in a world without you. I hope You know how much I love you. I continue to pray and seek peace. I’d give anything to see your smile, hear your voice and feel your hug even if it were a dream it would be some kind of peace.

Today Is 9/17 a year ago my mother passed away. My heart will always go out to my mom and my love .I always ask myself way, know God have his reason!
Even we don't understand life is such a questions mark.I dream of her,think of her,and the memories .u are greatest mom ever. U may be gone from the world
But ur sprit had never left.
        In Jseus name ..amen.

Hard to believe a year has pass since my mom passing, just last week it was her birthday, and just five days later she pass's away, not fair. I feel sad she never a chance to see her amazing grandchildren, I waited to long that's on me, and I have to live with that forever. My kids will ever get to know there amazing grandmother, but I will always let them know how amazing you are mom. Love you with all my heart, rest in peace

Happy Birthday mom u forever and always be in my heart .yes is hard each days go by.I think of u always even in my dreams..we all love u and the love will never end.I know u not gone from us,ur sprit will always watches over us jo,ron,and uncle dick,and me. Reach the sky mom.

It’s been almost a year without seeing you, hearing your voice, hugging you. I hoped The pain would ease a little by now but sometimes I think It has gotten worse. My life without you feels empty and I feel so alone at times because there is this missing piece that only you could fill. I cry out why? Why did you leave me momma? If you were here we would definitely be celebrating your bday at the casino. I thank God for choosing you to be my mom. Happy birthday I know You are celebrating in paradise.

I remember every morning of September 12th my first thought would be to call my grandma and wish her a happy birthday. I would call and sing her happy birthday and she would remark about how lovely my voice was. Today was her first birthday where I couldnt call her. I miss my Grey Grey every day but I miss her extra today. I miss her voice, her hugs, and her caring words. I pray That God gives me and others peace in this time of grief. I still remember the funny sounds she would make when opening presents. I love You Grey Grey. I hope Your day is extra special in heaven. 

Happy Birthday Mom!!!! I miss you so much, I know I was always a day late or a day early when I called to wish you happy birthday, but I called ad now you are not here for me to call you and hear your voice, I am so sad, I love you, you will always be with me in my heart.

Missing my mom, we didn't see each other a lot, but I always knew she was a phone call away. some time I find myself picking up the phone to call then reality sinks in she not here, but her voice will always be there for me. love you mom

No words can do you justice mom. Just like no words can take away my pain. I lost two people when you left - my mom and my very best friend. Everyone says it will get easier in time but I can only think of the past and present. I was So blessed to have you and I dont Know how to be happy in this world without you. I know You would want me to be strong so I try I really do. But my heart hurts so bad sometimes I can hardly breathe. I know You would tell me to take care of myself because Sophie needs me. I pray that her and I will Have a relationship like ours...that she will call me for no reason or come over just to share what’s going on in her life even if it is just to tell me about what she got on sale at Publix. That we will have weekly shopping and lunch dates and trips to the casinos, i pray We will laugh at and with each other and disagree but love and only want the best for each other. I pray we will lean on each other for strength And comfort. Growing up I know family would joke and say that I was A momma’s girl that I could and would never leave your side. It was true I wanted to be wherever you were and now I can’t but I will Again some day. I love You my beautiful momma and please ask God to give me strength sometimes I feel like he doesn’t hear me

This lady made THE BEST New York cheesecake ever!! She loved to laugh and was fun to be around. Although I didn’t spend a lot of time with Mary, I’ve known Jo for almost 20 years. If Jo’s character is any indication of the way she was raised, her mom was a super great mom. Oh, and best of all, out birthdays are on the same day!! Mary, you and my mom and my Great Aunt Dennis Mae will have a great time getting to know each other in heaven. May we meet again.

I remember being very young
When she frist married your dad mary and grandmother had us all for Thanksgiving dinner they put the pasta on the table we thought that was what we were haveing for dinner nope wrong here come turkey with all the fixing were we stuffed man could your mom cook i am sorry she is gone

I love you mom and you will forever be in my heart. I wish we had more time together.

Thank you for having such an amazing son . You raised a good man .
