You can Shed Tears or...
You can shed tears that she's gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll
come back.
Or you can open your eyes and see all she's
left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't
see her.
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because
of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's
gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it
live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty
and turn you back
or you can do what she'd want:
smile,
open your eyes,
love
and go on.

The loss you feel when a loved one dies is not the worst feeling in the world...
Missing them for the rest of your life is the worst.
Miss you and think of you always

You have been missed for 3 long years! For every year that passes, it does not get easier. For every year that passes, the emptiness still remains. I still want to call you. I still want to hear you. I still want you to be with us. Love you always and forever

The moment that you left me,my heart was split in two; one side was filled with memories; the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep; and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy,I do it every day; but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain; you see life has gone on without you,but will never be the same.

It's been 2 years. Hard to believe we have been without you that long! We miss and think of you everyday. This year Dad was with me. I have to say it helped me more then it helped him. There's an emptiness in my heart that I now know will never go away. I will try to fill it with living memories of you ????
Love you forever and ever Marilyn

Another mothers day without you seems so unreal. I only wish to be sitting with you at your table talking. Or one more cross word puzzle, game of backgammon, parcheesi, or crazy eights. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, miss you, and love you with all my heart! Happy mothers day and thank you for the life you gave me ????????

Happy mothers day. We love and miss you terribly everyday. Today just amplifies it. Our hearts all break for you wanting one more hug, share a laugh or hear you call us darlin' one more time. We love you more then anything and will try to be happy remembering the wonderful times. Can't promise that a few tears won't be shed. Love you with all our hearts.

It's been almost three weeks since you left us and it hasn't gotten any better. I think of you everyday, all day and my heart just aches from missing you. I know I'm being selfish for being angry you are gone. I know you are free from pain and that does comfort us. I love you mommy and you will always be in my heart. Xoxox

Dear Gail, Elaine, Donna & Families,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I always felt she was a passionate, strong, successful lady as a mom & business leader. Her ability to nurture, bond & mentor her family to succeed is well observed by all of your relationships. Losing a cherished parent is heartbreaking, but how blessed to have their love & the many happy experiences and memories to hold in our hearts until we meet again. You are all special to everyone that knows you. Your mom had to be so proud of all of you and will always be with you. You are in my prayers.

I will always remember the laughs at D'Jais we had. And you telling me how Jimmy must have it bad because he would wait for 5hr while I got the works. And for keeping Elaine and I in line when you thought we were up to no good.
You can rest at peace knowing what a wonderful job you have done raising your family and that you will live on through them.

Sorry it's taken me so long to write to you nonny, at first I wasn't sure what to say because the distance made it hard for us to be close, but then I realized that you weren't too far from me. You have given me the best mother and aunts anyone could ask for and I know there is a little of you in each of them. It's hard to see how hurt everyone is but it makes me see how great of a mother, sister, wife, and person you were. I am blessed to call you my Nonny and I hope you are enjoying heaven. I know I will see you again one day and distance will no longer be in our relationship. Rest in peace nonny <3

Nonny,
It's so sad to see you go, but it's comforting knowing that you are now in peace and no longer in pain. It's very difficult to see how hurt my mom and aunts are, but it really shows me how great of a mother you truly were and that's something they will always cherish. I hope to see you again in heaven one day. I love and miss you!
Always & Forever,
Nicole

I don't know when it will truly sink in for me that Nonny is gone. For now the only thing that does feel real for me, is the sadness I feel knowing that none of my other children with ever know her love. She absolutely loved my daughter with unconditional love and in a way that no one else will. I am so grateful for the time we did get with her and can never forget how big of a role she played in both my childhood as well as Skylar's. I will love and miss you forever Nonny. Thank you for everything...the list is long. xoxo
