Mom, I love and miss you. You would be so proud of your grandchildren. Landyn is on the honor roll, and he's such a smart little man. You'd be so proud!
Colton is the loving and caring boy that takes just after you.. He struggles on school but it's so smart, kinda like me:)
Jase is such a character! You would love his goofy voices and happy dances! He's a little artist and loves to draw!! A huge imagination!!!

Mom, I love you. Mom, I miss you.. and I don't know how I'm going to go the rest of my life without you.. I'm sorry I couldn't express this while you were of this early plane, but I pray to God everyday that one day we can be reunited to play UNO in the attic, to play Clue at the kitchen table on Christmas break, and maybe, just maybe you could be there for the birth of all your grandsons... Until then Mom, forever rest in peace amongst Jesus our Savior and tell everyone hi.

One year ago today, our Mom Velma joined Sandy in heaven. What a joyous reunion they must have had!

I miss you, mom. Terribly. People keep telling me that things will "get better", but what would they know. You were the only person who understood where I was coming from, because you too had been there. I feel like I'm all alone.<3

I ran across this beautiful memorial site while confirming Sandy's birth year for a quilt I'm making for Lauren of Sandy's clothing. Thank you for sharing these pictures that brought back so many wonderful memories. We spent many summer days together growing up as "first cousins" sometimes for two weeks at a time. Sandy, you were taken too soon.

Memories filter through my mind like it was just yesterday when I would sneak into your room at 3 am, or call you from school, when something was bothering me, and we would talk endlessly until.. "Lori, honey.. I love you, but I need sleep." Your hugs, laughter, and beautiful voice.. I miss you, mom.. Every day. This isn't goodbye, but until next time.

We will always remember Sandy. As in her love of music, Funny how a melody feels just like a memory, and we will keep our memories of her in our hearts forever. Her melody will play on and on......
So look to the stars for she is there looking down on us all!!

Sandy was my big sister for every one of my 55 years. Always kind hearted, always looking out for me. I, like the rest of her family, was not ready for her to leave. I miss her every day.

Colton

May 6, 2013

I am sure Sandy is smiling in heaven at this new addition to her family.  I am also sure that she was holding Colton's hand as he fought his way into this life and through the early trials.  

Happy 60th birthday, mom.

You never said I'm leaving, you never said goodbye.
You were gone before I could reach your side, and only God knew why.
A million times I've needed you, a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a place, that no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

Excitement, un-contained

May 29, 2012

Awww... grandma was so happy! :) Mom had, at first, a simple smile.. well a Cheshire* grin more like it, when we got to the hospital that night. I remember jokingly saying, "Mom, act more excited. You're finally a grandma!" And all of a sudden, she started to [literally] squee with joy  as we were walking down the hall to the nicu.. Somewhere along the line, we then clasped hands, hugged, and did a little dance, no joke. The nurses -and my father- looked at us rather oddly, but it didn't matter. Why contain excitement?

I miss the Laverne to my Shirley.. She brought out the best in Chad and I, I personally feel. We didn't have to act-in-order-to-please around her. Mom wasn't afraid to goof around, whether in public or private. :)
