My sweet mom, today would have been your 94th birthday. I love and miss you terribly and so does Zak; he recounted how you used to take him places. He has a son, Yago who is 16 months. I’m not as good as a “Na Na” as you were a nonnie. Rest in blissful peace with no tears. Much love, donna

Dearest mom,
Today is your birthday and you would have been 93. I am now 71; almost as old as you. I have you in my heart forever. Yago was born September 20. He got very ill and was In Lutheran General Hospital (the place you passed over). He was there for almost 2 months and he just turned 4 months. He has some kind of virus but it took a toll on all of us. Zak and Thata are great parents. I love and miss you mom, sleep in the arms of the Lord and Zak will always miss his Nonnie

Dearest mom,
I wasn’t aware of September 2, because it brings back bad memories. Zak and Thata are having a baby boy named Yago Miguel I think I have name spelled correctly but I’m not sure. His due date is September 13-14, and I think he’ll be born September 9. Zak misses you too. Zak also got a tattoo of Posiden, God of water on left arm. I love and miss you terribly. Much love and sleep with sweet dreams in the arms of the lord. Love, donna

Hi mom,
I miss you so much and today is Father's Day. It doesn't seem to matter anymore what day it is. Everyone I loved is gone, except Zak who lives so far away that he really is no longer part of my life. He has his own and I am happy he is happy and married to a beautiful lady. I love and miss you mom. Love, donna

Mom, Zak got engaged yesterday to Thata. He is in San Diego, which is killing me. The solar eclipse is tomorrow but I don't go out and it will be cloudy like my life. I lost my will. I love and miss you mom, I wish you were here to help me through this. I hope you can see your parents. I love and miss you mom. Andy had twin girls Thursday and I am 65 but not too alive. I love you mom. donna

Mom, I miss you terribly, life goes so fast and I don't want to be here anymore. Zak lives in San Diego, and I miss him terribly. He is all I had left, and now he is so far away. I want to leave here because life is the strangest thing that ever happened to me. All my love, your daughter, donna

Hi mom, it is 5/4/2017 and I miss you so much. I am so alone now that Zak moved to San Diego and is going to marry his Brazilian girlfriend who I find very nice, but moving so far away really hurt me. I never would have left you mom especially after you got divorce. I love and miss you terribly and I am losing my own will to go on. Love, donna

Hi mom, I can't stand being on this earth any longer. I lost everyone I love including Zak, who is now is South America and will be moving to San Diego. I am so alone and miss you and Michael and sometimes dad. I talked with Annie who really loved you. I miss you mom. Love, donna

Hi mom, it is July 23 and raining and my tears are flowing for you, Michael and dad. I feel so very alone now that Zak is in South America living his life, and so there goes another chapter in my life.  I love you mom...love, donna

Hi my beautiful mother, I hope the rain is not hard on you as it is March 31 and Michael's 71st birthday, but he cannot celebrate as he is 15 feet from you. I wanted to go to Michael's grave and yours and dad's who ended up next to you in his original plot. So in essence you are now together again; he said you were the love of his life even after d. I miss you terribly and I got my plot back although it cost me. Now I feel free knowing that when I go I will be next to the man who made me whole and near you my beautiful mother who joked about how you would be not far from my feat [sic], feet. Zak is going to South America June 1, 2016 for at least six months or whenever he begins to miss me which I do not will happen in this life. I think he will only miss me a while and being so resilient he will move on with his own life. So my job is done and I am ready to visit all of you so I can get some rest. I have been up all night and it is raining so hard I hope I can make it to the cemetery. All my love, your daughter, donna

Mom, dad actually came through and I do not have to tell you more. You are one grave away from each other with an open plot for the both of you which no one will ever fill. I still do not have my plot next to Michael and I will fight until I no longer breathe to be next to the man I love, miss and created a life with....I miss you mom, mommy, and Zak says to say hi, but you know that.. Rest sweet mommy who never had the golden years.

Mom, I miss you and I love you and I am crying over you, and Michael, and even my dad. I want to leave this place I am so unhappy here, I have no one except Zak who wants to go to Peru for over a month. I miss you terribly. Steve called because he turned 65 and I sent him a check for $100. He never invited me to Andy's wedding. Life is the strangest thing I ever went through.. Love, donna

Mom it is August 9, 2015 and now I realize I am 63 and you stopped gracing this earth at 73.  I am only ten years younger than you. I have lost almost my whole family. I have Zak to keep me going but I am crying over you now. I love you mom, I miss you, donna

I miss you mom every day that goes by. I cry for you in a way, because when you left you left too soon, but you went out laughing and suffered no doom. Dad died recently, and I felt so strange that your headstone was under the chairs, you were all alone like your parents were but I hope you met them in heaven. Your sister died and it hit me hard that your family was completely wiped out. I pray that I will meet you again in heaven when I go away. I love and miss you mom, donna

I brought you flowers on March 31. I am now 63 which hit me hard as I am now seven years older than Michael. Life goes by so very fast and I am alone still a widow. Zak is now 22 and he is what keeps me going on. I can't believe my dad took my plot away from me mom but I guess you knew him better than me. But he said you were the love of his life. He died at 84.

My Mom

August 9, 2015

My beautiful mother lived a short sad life.  She lost her parents at a young age, her dad at nine and her mother at 12.  My grandparents, who I never met were both dead at the age of thirty-nine.  My parents were married 53 not very happy years.  They were divorced right after my beloved husband died.  My mom fell at my house on Labor Day 2003 and because nothing was done at the Lutheran General Hospital to save her life, my mother herniated and was then brain dead after one hour.  She was 73 and now I am 63 ten years younger than my own mother.  Her sister, my aunt died at age 72 wiping out her immediate family.  My mom was a sweet lady who was so beautiful but her marriage and divorce became very hard on her and she had some problems I will not go into.  Suffice it to say, I miss my beautiful sweet mother.  I pray she is in peace.
