Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... happy birrrrthday dear maaadre, happy birthday to you!! Thinking of you today...well, most days. But today is a day I'll never forget to think of you. Wish we were celebrating you today..all of us. I suppose we'll all do that in our own ways. Loving you and missing you every day!

Merry Christmas momma! Loving you and missing you more than ever! Praying for your guidance right now! 

Hey momma... it's the day again and I still miss you terrible. I don't want to feel sad, but it's so hard today...like every birthday/ I know I'm surrounded by so much love and care from those you know and trust... I'm doing better, better each day in fact. This is the first year I'm strong enough to grieve without hiding at the bottom of a bottle, or escaping through the means of something mind altering. I've not only learned to lean into grief with a clear mind, it's with a better understanding of how to process and embrace my truest emotions. I'm sad...but I'm ok. I'm happy to have more courage today and to cry out letting the pain come. The hurt will subside and then I can just think of you and all the loving memories. I'll take each of these as a lesson and proof of your guidance throughout my life. I'll keep working and striving to make you proud with every step forward. On OUR day today, I only want to celebrate you! I love you always!

I know, I know... I'm late.  But, like you always said..."better late than never".  Happy Mother's Day! Super missing you like I do... I'm doing my best keeping up with the plants and flowers this year....the weather has been uncooperative. Julien finished his first year in college, Harry will be done as a junior in just a few weeks!  You'd be so proud of them! Jenny has been amazing as always...she's taking good care of me. I'm headed down to DR tomorrow for a little break while my shoulder heals. Hope to be back to work next month. Anyways... I love you so much and will always keep writing to you.

Because all the flowers are blooming again! This year...the May showers are bringing the May flowers momma! I think I'm finally getting your idea of planning for when everything blooms! We saved some tulips from the deer, daffodils all made it! Our Lilacs smell soooo good! I wish you could be here to enjoy all the smells! I'm gonna try figs this year if our tree hooks us up! I wish I could do all of this with you!  Busy summer coming...but we're all doing great!  Missing you ALWAYS!! 

This is my first time writing here but just wanted to shout, Happy Heavenly Birthday Grandma! I know you are watching over everyone and wrapping us in your love and light. You would be so proud of all of your grandbabies! Darien and Alex have beautiful families and adorably gorgeous babies! You would be going absolutely nuts shopping for those babies! Julien, Bryan and Alyssa are exceeding in school and making all of us so proud! Hard hits watching them leave the nest but all are having the time of their lives and forging their path in life. You would be so proud. Harrison loves making music and building his own guitars like his Dad. Christopher loves the theater and we love watching him perform, and KBear is following in her big sister’s footsteps with Cheer and Dance. Grandpa and the family are all doing well and Bryan finally did it! He is the owner of his own shop. Just like he always talked about with you. I know you would be so proud! We love and miss you always! It’s comforting to know our family has you watching over us! You always stepped in and made it easier to get through the times in my life where I needed my mom there. I will always have those memories with you and thank you for always being their with smiles, laughter, and love. So party it up there in Heaven and give my parents a huge hug for me! Love you always!

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you.... Happy birthday dear momma, happy birthday to you!"  I love you and miss you every day!!!!

Hey momma!  Been thinking about whether or not to extend further the New Years hoopla...  I'm so tired of not having you to call. I'm exhausted of continually beating myself up over how I think I'm supposed to feel. I am going to the grief groups again, but it feels different after not going for a while. I am going to do my best to stop feeling this way... I just really miss you!

Merry Christmas, momma! I saw you yesterday in a photo and just started missing you even more! I'm sad that I can't hug you any more. I;m sad that I can't hear your voice any more. I need and want your guidance. I miss you and just want you back forever. It's just not fair. Please come back.

Jason

Happy Thanksgiving momma! 

I think the guys have finally gotten the turkey down...lol  We all thought of you every second of the day! I'll be talking to you much more... promise!
Love, J

Hey momma... I miss your early in the morning birthday phone call today more than ever. I miss your voice and your tremendous heart. I realize now that the things I miss about you are the things I try my best at. I know who I am, but I know I wouldn't be without you. This day is forever changed, but it is also the day I feel closest to you even though you're not here. Sometimes I feel like it was supposed to be this way for me; like somehow I'm special more so. I hated having to say goodbye on this day, as you can imagine. I am always thankful even when it hurts so much. I love you always!  JJ

Hey momma...  it's a super hot summer, you wouldn't like it at all!! haha! Just saw some fam over the weekend and it mad me happy! Eric immediately recognized my tattoo for you, I'm glad he did! Anyway... thinking of you always!!  Love J

Happy Mother's Day momma! Because today is flats of flowers day!  LOL I miss seeing how happy you were digging in the dirt. I miss watching you be so creative! I just really miss YOU! I finally got my "mom" tattoo.... It does't SAY mom, but it also doesn't have to...right? As long as I know what it means. It will always be with me as you are. I love you so much and I miss you ever day! 
Love always, J

Happy birthday momma...  I miss you everyday

Merry Christmas, momma!  I know I'm a day late, but you KNOW I was thinking of you yesterday. We hosted our first Christmas dinner and it was pretty amazing! I wished so much that you were there. Missing you always!  Love, JJ

Caio momma! It's turkey day! Dad's making the ham and we're all meeting at Bryan's this afternoon. Still...things aren't quite the same without you. I'm grateful for having Jenny and the boys with us for the day. I want to share with you all the excitement that is around us! I know you would be proud of every aspect! I love you so much and will always be most thankful for having you as a mom. Talk soon!  I love you.  JJ

47 years ago today momma... we met for the first time! 4 years ago today...I had to say goodbye. This day will never be the same, but as time has always passed, my memories will never. I miss you terrible every day! So much has happened over the past 4 years, so much I want to be able to share with you sitting on the porch. I miss your advice and you seeing my side all the time..but letting me know when I'm wrong. I love you always momma... always missing you.

J

HI momma...  It's mother's day today. And all I wanna do is see you. I wanna come over with flats of flowers and enjoy listening to you tell me where they're all gonna be planted. I wanna sit on the front porch and hold your hand like we always did. Mommy I miss you so much! Thinking of you every day...
Love J

Happy spring, momma!!! Everything smells so wonderful! Always remembering how much you loved making everything look so beautiful this time of year!  So much is happening...I'm always thinking of you and missing you!

Merry Christmas, Momma! I'm always thinking about you and will be especially today! It's not gonna be a white Christmas again..but that's ok.  I hate the snow anyway...haha! I love you and you're always in my heart! 

Hola madre...  It's thanksgiving...and it's really tough without your voice. Covid has made this years family dinner more exhausting as ever. i don't know how to feel, nor how to act. I'm thankful for all of your guidance in how it's supposed to look...but without you; how it's supposed to feel. I wanted to share how much i love you and how much i wish you were here with everything as it was. There's so much I want to tell you.... k      The boys miss you, it is evident, Jenny misses your insight and dad....he's doing well, but I can tell; isn't the same without you. We cooked a turkey today...first time I had to do this without you.  Thank you for raising me to be the man I am and thank you for teaching me compassion. I love you   Good night momma . 

Hi momma... I want to be sad, is that ok? Just today? I know it's supposed to be a fun day today because it's my birthday. I am surrounded by so much love that today is especially difficult because you're always gonna be what I miss the most about today. I'll never have that birthday phone call where you're singing... I miss that the most. It's especially hard when everyone comes over...dad, Kimmie, Bryan and all the kids; they'll be here today. You'd love our new home! Jenny loves planting flowers and decorating the walls with memories like you. I have so much to be thankful for...but today i just wanna be sad; sad but grateful. Today is OUR day... the day I met you for the first time and the day I had to say goodbye to you...the hardest day. I love you with all mu heart momma.  Thank you for always holding my hand.

Happy mother's day momma!  I'm missing you every day! I wish you were here to see all the amazing things that we have done!  I hope I make you proud...always!

Loving you all of the seconds!
JJ

HI momma!  Just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I love you and miss you with all my heart! Jenny and the boys are doing great!  We're almost ready to move in to our new house!  You would absolutely love it!! 
xoxo

Jay

Hey momma... just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I'm ALWAYS thinking of you. I miss you terrible! I have been seeing you in my dreams and it makes me sad... I have been hearing your voice in the breeze and it makes me sad... I just wish you were here and would never leave.  I wish.  JJ

45 years ago today, we met for the first time.... 2 years ago today, I had to say good-bye. I miss you every day, momma.  Every day! I love you. JJ

Hey momma... thinking about you, like I always do. Today, like all days was really hard; since I missed your voice and advice.  We are more recently missing Walt, so that's hard....I'll always be grateful for how he took time to visit you in the hospital before you left. He had a very nice service and everyone was with him too... Anyway...summer is moving too fast and the boys will be back in school before ya know it! Always loving you ans SUPER missing you!  love, Jason

Thinking of my momma on this Mother's Day. It's cold, dark and damp outside on this spring morning. I find comfort in knowing how all the living things benefit from the cold, dark and damp. You always showed me how find good when it doesn't always seem so.  Missing you terribly...  Jason

Hi momma... its Easter. Remembering Sunday school, baskets of chocolate and Peeps, going to S.I. and all the bright colors of Spring! Most of all...thinking of you. As always, you're on my mind and today, Kimmie will most definitely carry on you traditions...well, some of em. The kids will be eating before the egg hunt and hoping to find the=at one special decorated gem! (the one with the most money in it) :-)  Always loving you and thinking of you! 
Jay

HI, momma. Thinking a lot about you as always! It's still hard to say I'm happy when I'm hurting... I make time to talk about you because I am still confused about so much; feeling lost still. Jenny is more amazing than ever and the boys are growing up so fast, you'd be so proud. Spring is coming and I cannot WAIT! I get sad thinking of you planting flowers, but I always remember how much it made me smile. We're all looking out for dad, he's really doing his best. I miss your voice... I am thankful for all the years I've listened, so that I'd never forget. I love you with all my heart and wish you were here right now! xoxoxo

Missing you so much today. Always loving you, momma.  Thinking of you on your birthday.

Hey, Ma... I'm missing you so much right now. I REALLY need to hear your voice or maybe you can just listening to me. So much is happening these days, so many different emotions...I love you so much! Winter is coming, along with the holidays...I get sad thinking I won't be seeing you there. I get sad that I can't share all the wonderful and beautiful things in my life with you. I get sad that I can't call you... I think about you everyday and always will!

I hear you momma...in my head. Its not the birthday phone call I'm used to and much prefer. I dont wanna celebrate anything today. I just wanna talk to you and plan the next dinner with everyone. Jenny and I are getting married! I wish so much you were here to be a part of it! On this day last year, I never wanted to let you go...I remember dad telling me you were gone. I miss you and love you so much everyday!!! I'm always thinking of you.

HI momma... I've been talking to you a lot, just haven't written it like i prefer. I love you and miss you soooo much!! Lots is happening and I can't wait to share it with you!  This is gonna be the toughest month for us...but we're all sticking together and always talking about you. Summer is almost over... the boys are back in school and it's not the same without you. My heart is so heavy this morning.... I love you always!

Hey momma. I've been meaning to put a lot of how I'm feeling on here over the past couple months; life just happens. I know you understand. I think of you every time I see flowers and every time there's a solid thunderstorm... We were just in Maine for the annual Kenlon summer vacation; it's so nice up there! We had Jules over for dinner, he says such warm things about you. We all talk to dad daily and we're so happy he's taking care of him self. Things are happening as they should and exciting things are on the horizon! I wish I could talk with you...I have so many things I need to ask. Jenny and the boys are wonderful and miss you so very much! It's a typical hot Jersey summer, so we try to stay cool. I love you and can't wait to share MORE!!  Always loving you!!!
Jason

So...the boys and I went out yesterday and picked up two flats of flowers and some hanging plants! For as far back as I can remember; always giving you flats of flowers on this day...this Mother's Day. I am really sad...but in remembering you on this special day and sharing a tradition; I am warm. Thank you for always planting them and doing all the work. You always looked so happy when you were gardening! I miss you A LOT!!  I love you so much!!!

HI mom... I'm super missing you on this Easter morning. Oh, happy Easter. I'm both excited for today and really sad; it's so hard to not see you, talk to you and to sit next to you. I miss you so much!! I have to carve out time to think about you out loud, since it puts me in a sad mood for a while. Like you, I prefer to stay focused on the things that are happening, not whats happened. I'll never get used to you not being here. I'm thankful to the Morris's for giving me a piece of your stained glass from wayy back. I remember standing around the kitchen table in Jackson, watching you create the things that brought so much joy to so many people! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, We're all, ALWAYS thinking of you! I'm ready to wake up from all of this and just have you back. I love you every minute of every day!

Missing you, treasuring all the love and strength you infused into your beautiful family, feeling grateful for the time we had together and for your amazing son who has your same fierce loyalty and generous heart. I celebrate your memory today, happy birthday Pam, I love you.

HI momma... I just wanted to tell you, happy birthday. I'm really sad, cuz I miss yiou sooooo much it hurts. A lot of good things are going on right now that I wish I could sit and talk with you about; not just tell you. I think about you everyday! We are all going out to Red Lobster tonight to celebrate YOU! The past week or so leading up to today have been especially difficult, since we all just wanna sing to you and hug you. We're taking care of one another though, just like you have always taken care of us. You've made us strong and kept us close, I'm the luckiest!  I'll talk to you again soon, momma. I love you with all my heart!  Happy birthday; again! xoxo

Hi momma... just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. i miss you so much! I always have so much to tell you... Happy New Year!   I miss your voice

Merry Christmas, momma!  I love you and I miss you so very much! My whole life has been filled with memories of you being the first person to wish me a Merry Christmas...Until today. I'm not upset....I just miss you so much! The boys had a nice time with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandpa. It's so hard you know... I like to talk about you as if you're with us. I guess it's because you never really left...we just see you in a different way.  Dad is doing an amazing job with keeping tradition. He misses you so much. I wish you were here.  


love always,
Jason

Happy Thanksgiving, momma!  I love you with all my heart!

Hey momma!  I'm in Nashville for the weekend with Jenny.  Just had the most delicious grilled Mac n cheese sandwich I've ever tasted!!  Thinking about you always... especially since the Patsy Cline museum is in town; I'm sure you'd love it!  These southern folks tho.... Anyway, just wanted to share.  I love you every day!

Hey momma... just thinking of you. Big Bill came thru and brought back so many memories of Jackson. Making stained glass in the kitchen....I was so lucky to have learned from you. I often tell storied about the HUGE cucumbers we grew in the garden. I miss you so much...I want to talk to you so bad!   In my heart...I talk to you every day!

Hey momma... Just thinking of you. We all had Chinese tonight and it was so nice to be with Daddy. We love you and miss you so much...I need to talk to you. I miss your voice... I'm so sad.
