Happy Heavenly Birthday Mamom. I love you and need you still so much. I wish you were with me now. I'm so so sad. We just lost our pup JerryLee. He was such a wonderful dog momma. If you see him. Please hug him for me. I wish I could hug YOU right now. You were and are the best part of me. I want to thank you for all of your sacrifices bringing Lynn and I up. You wer our momma bear. Loving, and fierce. My sweet sweet Mamom!!! Happy birthday Momma.

September 25, 2022

Happy Birthday Momma. I have been thinking about you and dreaming about you a lot lately. I wish I could see you in person and wish you a happy birthday. So many things I want to tell you. 1st off, I am mad at myself that we were only together for 18 years. If I could go back. I would take you with me when I moved to TN. We would take dad Bob to. anything so I could just have you in my life more. I know that one day I will be able to be with you for all eternity. No words can express how much I love you. No words can express how I thank you for all of your sacrifices when Lynn and I were growing up. You did whatever was needed to provide for us and it doesn't go unnoticed. You were then and are now precious momma. I love you!! Happy Birthday.

July 28, 2022

My precious mamom. I soooo love you. I can't believe you have been gone from us 12 years now. I still wonder how that can be. I pray, but I know , that you are having a wonderful time in Heaven. You are the most wonderful momma. Full of fun, dedication, and joy. I miss you so much. I just sit here and cry sometimes. I don't care how old I am. I still need my mom! You were and are everything to me. God blessed me by making you my mom. I wish I could make you proud. Lynn and I will always love you mamom. To the moon and back a few bazillion times. For now though I can only see you in my dreams (which I did recently) if its allowed, please give Jesus a hug for me. Thank you for everything you were and still are to me.

September 25, 2021

Happy Heavenly birthday Momma. You would have been 91 today. I can't believe that it's been 11 years since you left us. I miss you just as much today as the day you left. Other then Jesus, there is no greater love then that of a mom. I miss your smile, your silly antics, you hugs, I even miss "the Look" over the top of your glasses. You were and ARE precious to me. I love and honor you for being the wonderful person you were. God bless you mamom. Happy Birthday and my forever grateful love.

July 28, 2021

I wish that we could just skip right over today. it hurts so much. still. 11 years ago you got to go to Jesus. That i'm jealouse of. lol. I miss you though mom. there isn't a day that goes by that I don't need you. I see you in so many people. Your eyes, your smile. You live in my heart and my mind always. I will always love you Momma. forever. Big hugs and kisses.

For some reason mamom. coming in here today has been hard for me. This is the day we should be celebrating together. either on the phone or in person. Your such a positive, helpful, loving influence in my life. You continue to make me smile, and cry. I cry because I miss you so much. I cry over things I can not change and I cry because for now, I can't feel your arms around me hugging me. I laugh at all the antics we used to get up to, and the memories you gave to Lynn and I. you ARE one in a zillion mom. we were so blessed to have you as our momma. thank you for everything!! that said. Happy Heavenly Birthday!!! I KNOW its a wonderful day as all days with Jesus are the best. I can't wait to see you again one day mamom! I love, no.. I ADORE you. "Kisses"

July 28, 2020

Lynn and I have been dreading today. I don't know why this year is harder then the others. Maybe because its been 10 years. It's so hard to believe Momma. I still love you, miss you and honor you just as much as when you were with us. Not having you here is unbearable at times, but everything I wished for you, happieness, health, pure joy IS yours now. I wouldn't take that away from you for anything. We will get to see you again, and we will forever be together when that happens. I love you Mamma. now and always.

September 25, 2019

Happy Birthday to the most loving, caring, sincere and brave woman I have ever known and had the pleasure to know and call momma!! I sure wish I could tell you face to face Hapy Birthday and how much I love you. I've asked the Lord to tell you that for me though. I miss you so much momma. The other day I was looking at your picture and it dawned on me how much you looked like a young Marilyn Monroe!! Your love and hugging arms are so missed. A special person was born on Sept. 25th. Your my hero and I adore you. Happy Birthday Mamom!!

July 28, 2019

My precious momma. When is this hole in my heart going to heal? You left such a void. I love you and miss you so much. I know your sooooo happy now though, and healed completely. Your blessed to be in Jesus's presence. One day I will get to see you again. get to touch you again and feel your warm hugs. I miss you so much though. 9 years now. it doesn't seem possible. Thank the Lord you were my mom!! I thank the Lord for your guidance and wisdom and love. thank you for the memories that will always be with me and make me smile. I love you and always will. Sher

September 25, 2018

Happy Birthday Mammom. I woke up today and looked at your urn and gave you a kiss. I wish you were here to celebrate with us. We could have cake! Lynn and I would spoil you rotten. something I know we both plan on doing when we are all together again. I owe you so much. for giving me life, for sacraficing your happieness to give us a secure home. To joke around with and Just to get to stare at you because you are the most beautiful woman I ever saw. inside and out. Your body might not be here, but the love, compassion and strength that you taught to us and gave to us will always live on. I hope your day is wonderful Momma. I love you.

September 25, 2018

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful lady in the world. Your precious love you gave to me and Sheree always lights up our world. We so much wish you were here to celebrate your special day, but I know we will be together soon. I love you to the moon and back and more.

Hi Mamom. This day alwasys jumps up and slaps me in the face. I dread it. It makes me remember that your not just a phone call away. your not a letter away. Your not a hug away. I long to hug you. to talk to you, to have you tell me to sit straight, or just to joke around with. You are the best mom anyone could ever have. I miss you so much it physically hurts. I look forward to the day when we are all together again. I'm never letting you go then. not ever. I love you so much momma.

July 28, 2018

Mom, I can’t believe you left us 8 years ago. The pain is still just bad as the first day you left.
I love and miss you so much that the pain is still there and I know it will be forever. I’d do anything possible to get one more hug and get your advice on a few things that I’m struggling with. I can’t wait until both Sheree and I can be with you again.
I love you my precious Momma Bear!
Lynn

May 13, 2018

Hi Momma. I know this is going to post (or get to you) later, but.. I couldn't go without telling you how much I love you and miss you just as much as the first day you left us to be with Jesus. Christmas is never easy anymore. never like when we were kids and you were making the kitchen smell so goooood. I miss the "love" look on your beautiful face. Bet you never knew I noticed. I did though. that's who you were. love. Our Momma. thank you so much for giving Lynn and I life, and love to grow into adults you are proud of. Thank you for giving me a sister!! you sent her first so she could experience 4 years of normalicy before I came along to drive her crazy . ROFLOL. But momma. you not only gave me a sister but a friend. she is my rock and I'm so glad that she is close to me again. I can "do" life much easier knowing she is near. Just look out Mommom. one day both Lynn and I are going to run up to you and well, we are never letting you go again. :-) I love you. I love you so much. Merry Christmas dear momma. God bless you.
Sher

December 25, 2017

Merry Christmas Mom. I miss you so much. It just doesn’t get easier as the time goes by. The holidays and life in general is so hard without you. Your in my heart always, and on my mind, but I wish I could feel your loving hugs and see your beautiful smile. I’m thankful that I have my precious sister because she is my rock and is the one who keeps me going. I love her so much. I love you momma forever and always!
Lynn xoxoxo

November 23, 2017

Hi Momma Bear. Happy Thanksgiving. I love and miss you so much. I really need you mom, I’m so confused and need your advice. I don’t know what to do. I don’t feel good anymore mom and I’m tired of living like this. I know your aware of what I’m going through, I know you would help me if you were here and could. I love you so much that it hurts. If you see your buddy Joe, please tell him that I love and miss him to.
Always and forever,
Lynn. Muah!

September 25, 2017

Mom, I love and miss you more everyday. I thought it was supposed to get easier as time went by, but it hasn't. I love you with all my heart. Today is your birthday and so much wish you were here to hug and kiss you. I'm sending all my hugs and kisses to you in heaven. Happy Birthday momma Bear.

September 25, 2017

Happy Birthday my sweet Momma. I love you beyond measure. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't. I do know though you are free from the dementia chains that took your memory. it did that but it could never take away the real you. The you that you are once again now and forever. Though I wish you were here, I wouldn't want you back sick. I want you happy and I know you are now. in the presence of our Lord. with dad, and dad bob!! Mimi and Grandpa. One day we will all be together again and what a joyful day that will be. Lynn and I love you so much. Your still our rock and we are eternally grateful for your sacrifices and love you showed us and gave us raising us to be productive adults. I love you with every fiber of my being. Happy Birthday Mamom!! KISSES.

July 28, 2017

My wonderful Momma. It never gets easier coming in here to talk to you. You have been on my mind and heart SOOOOOO much lately. I long to talk to you, to be with you and talk and laugh. to be able to touch you and hug you. I can't express just how much I miss you and wish you were here healthy and happy. I know you are that way in Heaven with Jesus. One day I will see you again. I hope the Lord lets you greet me when I also go "Home". its now been 7 years since you were freed from that horrible disease. your not missing much. the world just gets crazier and crazier. I pray all the time that the Lord will come back for us VERY soon. I love you so much momma. I always will. I wish I could hug you!!!! Thank you for giving me such a firm foundation and for every sacrifice you gave for me and Lynn, and we all know it was a lot!!

I love you

Happy momma's day my precious mom. I miss you so much. words can never describe how much i miss you and continue to need you. i can't wait for the day we are all reunited. i love you my prescious mom.

September 25, 2016

Happy Birthday to the most WONDERFUL mom that ever lived. I love you beyond imagination. miss you equally as much. I wish you were here. I long for the day when we are all reunited. I miss your smile, your silliness, your discipline, your hugs, everything about you. I miss how you dealt with life with dignity and poise. I wish I were an 8th of the person who you were. I pray this day, that you know we are wishing you a happy Birthday and knowing you are celebrating it with our Lord Jesus. Thank you for giving me life. they say the second child is always the best... (LOL Lynn... just kidding) Mom. i know your giving me the look for teasing like that and probably giving Lynn a hug. which is ok with me. ;-) I love you my precious mamom. now and forever and always. I love you and miss you. Sher MUAHHHHH.

September 25, 2016

Happy Birthday to the most precious mom in the world. I love and miss you so very much. I really wish you were here to talk to now. I really need some mom advice. Funny how when I was a kid I didn't want to hear it because I knew you would be right but, I sure could use it now. I love you so much mom, and forever and always will. MUAH

July 28, 2016

Hi Mamom. I was dreading today. its been 6 years since you went home to Jesus. It's hard to believe its been that long. I still miss you as much, LOVE you as much and wish you were here as much as the day you went to Jesus. The only think that carrys me through is Jesus and knowing your with Him and that one day we will all be together again. I love you Momma. When you left part of my heart did as well. I miss you more then mere words can ever express. So does Lynn. I had a dream about you the other day. we were shopping together. it was fun and a good dream. I wish it were real. One day it will be. Until then know I love you and miss you more then anything. LOVE you always. Hugs Sher.

September 25, 2015

Happy Birthday Momma. it's the 5th Birthday that you have been in Heaven. It's the 5th year I can't call you and tell you I love you. I miss you so much. Does the pain of you being gone ever go away? I doubt it. How could I ever stop not wanting my precious momma in my life. I remember the last few times I saw you. I was so excited. I didn't know how to handle it. you were right there in the house with me!! When you needed a nap and were able to sleep on my bed. My pillow. What an honor for me. My heart bursts with love and memeries of you. I pray I can always keep those. You are hands down the best Momma anyone could ever have. I am blessed. I look at my hands and know these are the hands that you held when I was growing up. I slouch and hear "Keeks" and sit up. remembering how you would say that to get Lynn and I to sit up. Momma, my heart aches without you here. I rejoice knowing that you loved Jesus and asked him to be your Lord and Savior before you went "home". I know I will see you again one day. I just miss you now. I want to hug you, tell you I love you and thank you for your sacrifes you made for Lynn and I growing up. I will never forget that. God bless you Momma. Happy Happy Birthday.
Love always and forever. Sher

July 28, 2015

Hi Mama Bear. Ican'the believe it's 5yrs. ago that you went to be with Jesus! I think of you a lot. I miss the way you could make me laugh. You always had encouraging words and seemed to know when I needed that. I miss your smile. I know that you are happy and healthy in heaven. I know that we will all see you again. Love you!

July 28, 2015

I hate this day. I miss you so incredibly much. Time takes the top layerof pain off, but the love and the missing you never stops, never goes away. I miss you momma. There are so many things I want to talk to you about. I'm ok. I just absolutely have a huge hole in my heart with you being gone. I know your happy in Heaven, and I also hope that if i'm right, prophecy says that the Lord will be coming back for all of us soon. Keep alert because when I see you i'm NEVER letting you go again. God bless you momma. I love you beyond words.

June 21, 2015

Hi Momma. I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Maybe because it's getting close to July, but most likey because I have this huge hole in my heart where you once were.. well, STILL ARE. Momma, I can' thank you enough for being the best Mom ever. I will always love you. I can't wait until we see each other again. Big hugs and kisses. and I wish you were here!!

September 25, 2014

Happy Birthday Mammom!! I love you sooooo much. I wish I could call you and tell you but i'm sure the Lord will tell you for me. I miss you every day and wish you were here. You were the best mom... no, you ARE the best mom that anyone could have ever had. Your sacrifices your love and your strength will always be with me. I love you and thank you for everything you did and for who you are. Huge hugs momma. God bless you always.

July 29, 2014

Hello Momma Bear. I can't believe it's been 4 years today since you went home to be with the Lord. I think often of you and miss you so very much. You had a wonderful gift of making us smile and laugh. You had a beautiful smile. You are loved and missed so very much. Lynn is getting ready to move to Colorado Springs again. She doesn't have access to the Internet or she would be writing to you now as well.
Momma Bear, you are an awesome lady. You will live forever in our hearts. You are an angel watching over all of us. I love you.

June 1, 2014

Hi most beautiful and wonderful Mamom! I just wished Dad a happy birthday (it's monday) could you please give him a hug for me, and i want him to hug you for me! I sooooooooo wish I could hug you myself. I miss you so much. With doing the research on our family it hits home all the more with me that you are gone. I have wanted to call you more times then not to ask you questions about our family. I have learned SOOOOO much. It's fun and exciting but I wish you were here to get info from and share it with. Pretty soon it will just be me out here. But I will always carry you in my heart. I love you so much momma. I miss you so very much too. I love you and will every second of my life.
Hugs, Sher

May 30, 2014

Hi Mom,
Thinking about you and wanted to say hi and that I love and miss you so much.
We are finding out that we still have family that are still living, and others that have gone ahead of us. Rick and Sher have been doing a lot of research and it is amazing what they are finding from both your side and grandpas side.
Im going to call Voltair and Mary and see if I can get the number of Joe and Jean and see if they are still in California. ( Big Bear area)
They might have more info on family to. I told sher to look for meralda also.
Anyway mom I wanted to say hi and that I love and miss you so much. I so much wish you were here to talk to. Your the only one that I can talk to about stuff and I know id get good advice.
I love and miss you Mom.
Lynn

May 11, 2014

Hi Momma. Happy Mothers day. I wish with all of my heart that you were here with us now. I wish I could give you a hug and let you know again that you ARE the best mother in the world! You were momma. You did everything for Lynn and I, and I will never forget it. Your beyond precious and I am eternally grateful. Thank you for being the great, loving, caring, honorable woman that you are. I know how happy you are in Heaven but it still hurts so much that your not here with us. That will never change momma. I will forever love you and miss you until I can see you again one day. Your the light in my heart and if I can ever be one ounce the person you were on earth I will have done something good. God bless you mamom. I love you. I will always love you.
Sher xoxoxoxoxoxo

May 10, 2014

Hi Mom, I want to say Happy Mothers day a day early because I dont think I can get on here tomorrow knowing your not here to celebrate your day. It still hurts to much not having you here with us. We love you so much momma and miss you so very bad. You are with us in mind and spirit all the time, but days like this it is so hard for us. When you went home to be with Jesus it took a huge part of us away and left a big hole in our hearts.
We love you mom and forever and always will.
Lynn

May 4, 2014

Hi Momma. I know I don't often write but your on my mind and in my heart everyday!! I miss you so much. I still hate to think that your gone. Mothers day is coming up soon and its so hard for Lynn and I to not be able to hug you, give you a kiss, tell you how much we love you. You are the best mom ever. I'm not saying that because your our mom, but in fact because you are. I say ARE because I know your alive in Heaven and one day we will see you again. Your precious momma. You sacrificed so much for us. I'm glad at least that now you are getting pure joy. You deserve that. I just can't wait until I can throw my arms around you and I'm never going to leave your side. I miss you right now soooo much. I look at your picture everyday (its on my computer desk wall) and talk to you. Still though, it's not like being with my precious momma. Say hi to dad and to dad Bob for me. Give Dad a big hug and kiss for me to. ok? I love you momma and I always will.
Sher.

March 2, 2014

Hi Momma, Thinking so much about you tonight and I miss you so much. I cant wait until we see you again, along with dad and Joe, I love you mom, and cant believe you have been away from us as long as you have. Time is going by but the pain of not having you never goes away. Id give anything to hug you again and to see your beautiful smile, but I know that I will someday, and that makes me feel so good. I love you Momma and will forever and a day.
Lynn

January 1, 2014

Mom, I wanted to tell you happy new year, and that I love and miss you so very much. I also am missing Joe very much but it gives me comfort knowing that he is with you and dad, and harley. Joe also has several family members from his side up there so I can only imagin the party you are all having tonight. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of you mom and miss you so much. I love you very much mom and forever will.
Lynn

December 26, 2013

Hi Momma. Merry Christmas. I had written to you last night but it looks like it didnt go through for some reason. I love you so much mom and miss you badly. I really need you mom because as you know Joe is now with you and dad, and it hurts bad. I have lost three most important people in my life and I am not dealing well with it. Please have a group hug for me and know that you are so loved and so very much missed.
Lynn

I love you beyond measure Momma. Love you, Sher

Riddy and the pickle jar

September 6, 2015

In the summer of '73. Momma and I packed up everything we had and decided to move to Colorado Springs, CO to live closer to Lynn and the family. The "we" in the move also included my cat Riddy. Riddy wasn't really used to driving long ways.. this was a big move for my yowling feline. Mom, who as always had patience of a saint, took it all in stride, or made it look like it. Everything was going well, smoothly, kind of. We had to pull in somewhere along the way to get gas. We had a Datsun 510 fully loaded to the roof, and a cat crammed in there. Shortly before we got to the gas station, we heard a "clunk". didn't think to much of it until mom was out of the car and we discoverd the cat had gotten her head stuck in a pickle jar.. what was Riddy thinking? Well of course I completely freaked out. Mom, not so much. LOL. she tugged and pulled and I think finaly smacked the jar on something. it broke, cat came out without a scratch. Me. I think I needed cpr..... LOL. Momma fueled up the car and off we went. I'm just glad I couldn't read mom's mind at the time.. I bet Riddy was glad also!! I love you Momma!!

Mom's trip home to California

October 7, 2011

Well so far it has been a eventful trip, but naturally momma dosent compain. ( LOL Mom cant complain) Mom has been the best passenger of all of us.

After leaving Peoria, with Mark and his chest pains, the truck having issues, me being frusterated and wanting to scream, our MommaBear has been the best. I know mom would agree that the trip to cali even with all the problems is still better than the trip from colorado to Illnoise, "right Momma"?

Mom and us are so looking forward to being back with family that it is crazy. I have missed My sister so dang bad, and I promised mom id never be far from Sher again!! CANT WAIT TO GET THERE!!!!

Oy Vey

September 12, 2011

Oh how i loved my cat.. my sweet demure cat.. until she was in heat.. then she turned into a walking lung. I had zero tolerance for this cat walking around yowling all day all night long. I have always been one that when its time to sleep... i want to sleep. Mom would shake her head and say poor cat when she would pass the bathroom and Riddy would be under the tap because i was holding a certain area of her there.. mom said cold showers for cat's don't work.. she was right.. so i decided, mom agreed though i don't know why really. lol, to start putting the cat in Mom's car over night. that way we could have blistful sleep. never mind that when mom would have to go to work the next day, she would have cat hair flying all around.. I think i need to apologize to Mom when i see her again. lol. Love you always and forever Mom. oh and say Hi to Riddy for me!! ;-)
