Merry Christmas Mom. Christmas time brings floods of memories of Christmas eve at your house. Miss all of that fuss and things but mostly miss your presence during Holidays.  Bill and Chis are back and live only a mile away. With all the family hoo haa, It's nice to have family again.  Yeah, things are still the same, the Dysfunctional family thing. Well we just have to let people be people, I guess. What do they say "You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Some things never change. Anyway, Mom your never far from my thoughts and I love and miss you. Have a great holiday with all of our angels and Happy New Year.  Tina xoxoxoxo

Hi Mom: Well it's been 18 years since you left and it doesn't seem that long
I still ache inside for you and missed everything we did together. So much has happened and I really needed your advise over the years. I always try to think what you would do or how you would feel about things. It's not like I can pick up the phone and say "Mom I need help". All my love to you and all our other Angels (Especially your grandson Brian. You both were my heart. Love you so much.  xoxoxoxoxo

Merry Christmas Mom. Miss you so much especially during the Holiday Season. Miss your Christmas Eve get together. Bill and Christina moved back to Michigan last April and stayed with us for awhile. They live only a mile aways and it's great having family around again. Please look after yourself and all our loved ones there with you. Could use so special care down here too.  It's be a rough couple of years here. Lot of health issues. Know that you are greatly missed and appreciated. Love, Tina xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Mom I missed you birthday on Oct 24, but I really thought about you all the day long. I wish you were here during this difficult year of Covid, so much death and unrest in the World and to help me through all my health issues, expeciall the Cancer. I sure could of used a generous shoulder to lean on. I don't think I ever thanked you enough for all the support thru the years but I definitely wouldn't have made it without you. I know you are still watching out for me and I love that you are with Brian and all the fur babies. Please kiss and hug them all for me. I wish you were at our Thanksgiving table tomorrow.   I love you Mom  xoxoxoxo

Happy 95th birthaday Mom. Missing you and wishing you were here to guide me through this knee replacement. You always knew just what to say to make things better or were there to repremand me when you knew I needed it. You never coddled when it wasn't appropriate to do so and it made growing up and facing life easier to navigate. I'm a stronger person for having you as my Mom. Hope all of you in Heaven are supporting one another and know that you are loved beyond the Universe. Love you Mom  xoxoxox

Today 14 years after your passing I still ache for our outings together. I've missed going to bingo, the Friday dinners and just hanging out. Your direct and sound advice could have been very useful this past year and your encouragement to get me thorough my hip replacement as well. But because I remembered all of your encouragement I made it thorough.  Just hearing your voice was a comfort even if I sometimes I didn't want to hear what you had to say. I have learned, especially lately, not to take a lot of BS and have been able to feel better about myself and eliminated the riff-raft from my life, thanks to your advice. I never wanted to hurt anyone or their feelings and you always told me not to let anyone wipe their feet all over me. Well, I finally learned that I don't need those people in my life, and I am much happier. Thank you Mom for always listening and understanding whatever I was going thorough. I am a better, stronger person because of you. I love you very much and miss you dearly.  xoxoxoxoxo

Merry Christmas Mom. Gee, I miss the talks and times together. Since you've been gone I feel lost and lonely a lot of the time. I have tried to reconnect with some of the family, but I guess they are not as forgiving as I thought. Anyway, I want you to know that I don't stop trying and I hope you are at peace and happy. Give my son a kiss and hug. Miss you soooooo much.  love you  xoxoxoxo

Hard to believe 10 years have passed by so quickly since this awful day of your passing. Still miss our times together (girlfriend). Awfully lonely with out my sounding board and bingo partner. By now you know what has happened to you wishes and know that I didn't go against any of your wishes. I did everything you wanted me to but others did not honor them and some of your private things went to people you did not want them to go to. I'm sorry for that. But I still have the memories we shared and now that you are in heaven you know the truth about all the lies that people have said. It doesn't really matter Mom. My love for you has always been real and I never lied to you about anything. I know you know that now. Be at peace and take care of my son. Missed beyond any thing in the world. I love you.  xoxoxo

My mother was a strong woman who lead a hard life. I remember her being larger than life when I was young. She was a hard worker and spent many hours in our family chinese hand laundry for years. Both our parents sacrificed alot to give us five children a life. In her later years Mom and I were like girlfriends doing alot together, bingo, shopping and hanging out. I miss you mom.xoxo
