I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas Mum. I miss you and how you made everything special on the holidays ever since we were little, it all seemed so magical. I tried to give that to my kids, the memories and magic moments but I think I fell short.
I love you and miss you,

Karen

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

Happy birthday, Mum

I love you

Wishing you were here yesterday Mum, you always made holidays special, esp. Christmas, I love you & miss you so much, seems time doesn't exist, one day it seems you've been gone so many years then another day it seems like we just lost you days ago.

Dear Mum, as always every year at this time I ache for the days of long ago when you made everything so special, especially Christmas, you & Dad gave us a great gift, a wonderful childhood with special memories and traditions I've cherished my whole life. I've tried my best to give the same memories and traditions to my kids over these years, I hope I was able to give them at least some of the joy you & Dad gave us..

Merry Christmas to the greatest mum in the world. You & Dad always made it so memorable for us growing up. I tried to give my family the same memories growing up and we made some great memories. But there are no more to be made. Everyone is gone. Thank you and Dad for the greatest childhood memories ever. I so wish you were here Mum.
Till we're together again
I love you
karen

Hard to believe we lost you 10 years ago today..seems like yesterday. Its hard to describe how it's been without you Mum-it leaves an empty spot in my heart and its painful often esp. when the memories pop up and seem so real then you realize "she's not here" and there are no more new memories to make. But I'm so thankful to have had you as my Mum and all the great memories you made for us. I think of you every day. I love you and miss you so. You were the best Mum anyone could have wanted.

Till we're together again,
I love you & miss you,

An Eternal Memory

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories
Will always bring a smile
if only I could have you back
for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again
just like we used to do
you always meant so very much
and always will do too
The fact that you're no longer here
will always cause me pain
but you're forever in my heart
until we meet again

Wishing you were here Mum to celebrate your birthday - hard to believe it would have been your 81st...I love you and miss you so much-you were my best friend and the best Mom anyone could have wanted.

Till we're together again,
I love you
Karen

It's been too many years
since you went away,
Memories of you are still strong
I wish you were here today.
I can't touch you or see you
and I know you're not here
but I've still got our memories
In my heart you're still near.

If I could see you just one last time
I know what I would do-
I'd wrap my arms around you so tight
and say mom, I LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Mum
love forever

Although it's been years now
Since you were taken away,
These memories are still so strong
And I wish you were here today.
I can't see you or touch you
So I'm sure you are not here
But I will always have the past
And in my heart you're still so near.
I used to wake up nearly every night
Screaming out loud and calling your name,
I must of needed that special someone
Because of all my pains and fear.
If I could only see you one last time
do you know what I would do,
I'd tell you all I've wanted to tell you since you've gone
But mostly say mom, I LOVE YOU!!!


Hardly seems possible it been 7 years ago today Mum
I love you forever~you were the best Mum
Love
Karen

Thoughts Of You

Memories of days and times long past
Fill my mind and heart with thoughts
Of you when I was young. I'd lie awake
Till the morning sun comes creeping
Through my window shade, as I watch you
Go about making our house a home
What I would give to go back in time and feel you're Hand in mine. To cherish each fast and fleeting day. When you held me close and kissed
Away each pain that life had in store for me, and try to give you so much more. You're part of me and will always be, imbedded in my soul I want to say that I've loved you each and every day
And when my time on earth is done
The privilege was mine to have had you as my Mom.


Happy Mothers Day Mum
I love you
Karen

Wishing you a happy Easter Mum
I wish you were here to make it special like you always did-I love you and miss you so much. Till then..

Wishing you Happy Birthday Mum even though you can't be with us, we're thinking of you on your day and every day. It's hard to believe you left us almost 7 yrs ago.

To My Mum on Mothers Day
You were the sunlight in my day,
And the moon I see far away.
You were the tree that I lean upon,
The one that made my troubles be gone.
You were the one who taught me life,
How to treat otherst, and what is right.
You were the words inside my song,
You were my idol, my life, my mom.
You were the one who cared for me,
You were the eyes that helped me see.
You were the one who knew me best,
How to have fun and then time to rest.
You were the one who helped me dream,
You heard my heart and heard my screams.
Enjoying my life knowing I was loved,
I was thankful God sent you from above.
You were my friend, my heart, my soul
You were the greatest friend I'd known.
You are the words to my song,
You are my idol, my life, my Mom.

I love you and miss you Mum
karen

I miss so much the holidays that you always made so memorable with your own special touch.
I love you and miss you so Mum

Karen

Mum, I miss your strength, guidance and love, you were my best friend, I could tell you anything and it would be between just you & me..you were my inspiration, just to be half the person you were..
I miss you so much Mum,you were the best Mom anyone could ask for and I than you for all the wonderful memories and a great childhood that I'll treasure forever..
I love you and miss you Mum
Happy Birthday
Love
Karen

You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Wishing you were here Mum , you always made the holidays so special.
Love you forever
Karen

It's hard to believe it's been 5 years Mum. Sometimes it feels just like yesterday to me. It's strange how our minds can deceive us that way. I love you amd miss you Mum more than you'll ever know and I thank God we had you for our most beloved Mother. You were our rock that we turned to for so many things, now we're left here without your help and guidance. I think about you every day and the wonderful childhood you and Dad gave us. We cherish those days Mum.
I know & believe we'll be together again some day and you believed it also.
Till we meet again...
With all our love,
Karen, Sheila & David

To my mum...
I wish you were here to celebrate today with us. You were the type of mom they had in mind when Mothers Day was made..always thinking of others well being, caring, giving, genuinely concerned for others, although you always spoke your mind and others maybe didn't like what they heard, at least you were honest and told the truth and they knew where they stood.

I miss you so much mum-you were the best mother anyone could have asked for and I thank you so much for the memories...
Till we're together again
Love always, Karen

Wish you were here Tuesday Mum to celebrate your birthday. Hard to believe you would have been 76 yrs old! You didn't look your age or act it, taking care of your "ladies" and holding 2 jobs till you went to the hospital.

I miss you so much and love you Mum, you were the best...

I wish you were here mum to share the season with us...you always made it so special-I miss you terribly.
I love you
Karen

I love you and I miss you so much Mum..
Wish you were here,

Wish you were here Mum to celebrate halloween with us. You always loved to dress dress up on halloween and we had so much fun.Thank you for those memories, Mum..
I love you & miss you
Karen

Mum,
I miss you so much especially during the holidays. You always loved celebrating them and I miss your 4th of July cookouts.
I think of you daily and how much I let you down.

Love you eternally,
Karen

All the fear, hurt & pain
that I've ever known,
is gone from this life,
I am finally home.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
is my constant reminder
we'll be together again.


They say you can pick your friends but not your family, but if you could pick your family, you are the only mom I would've chosen. No one could have asked for a better mom than we had.

It's been 4 years ago today you left us Mum but still seems like it was only yesterday. I wish I could have taken away your pain your last few weeks, God knows I wished I could.
It's hard to understand why these things happen to such good souls but there's nothing we can do to change them.

I love you & miss you Mum-till we're together again,
Karen

Happy Easter to you Mum. I love you and miss you so much. Wish you were here.

I love you & miss you every day Mum, especially on the holidays which you always made so special for everyone.

Love to you always...Karen

I love you and miss you Mum..till we're together again..

I miss you so much Mum especially during these holidays you always made so special for everyone~till we're together again..
I love you,Karen

Mum, I miss you terribly, especially this time of year. You always made sure everyone had something for christmas and was so considerate to everyone. This was your favorite holiday & you made it special every year. You were my Rock and my best friend and I'm so lost and scared without you. I know we'll be together again one day.
I love you & miss you so much
Karen

I wish you were here Mum-I miss you so much especially during the holidays
I love you forever
Karen

Missed you so much Mum during halloween, you always made the holidays such fun...
I love you, Karen

I love you & miss you Mum..Please take care of Jonathan for me till I can join you
Love, Karen

I love you and miss you more than ever Mum. I don't know what else to say. Three of the most important people, my rocks, have been taken from my life. I feel so lost alone and scared without you.
With all my love...Karen

I wish I could visit you more than I have lately Mum but I'm stuck in this nightmare and my mind is totally focused on Jonathan. Its not that I've forgotten or ignored you.It's just so hard to think of anything but Jon. I'm having trouble. After you purchase the plot for a small fortune, you still can't plant on it or put in solar lights or anything. I'm glad Yarmouthport is considerate the way they are. The bench is still there I put in, all the plantings are still there. I'll be down soon though..I miss visiting regularly.
I love you & miss you so much Mum

Mum I need you now more than ever..I wish you were here for me but alas so much for wishes they never come true.Life is such a cruel joke.I'm hoping, believing that you are up there holding my Jonathan tight till I get there. I cant bear this anguish . Gods allowing all those I dearly love to be ripped right from me. Whos next??? I love you Mum and miss you so much.
Till we meet again...

My thoughts are with you always Mum, as they were Sunday on Mothers Day. I'll always love you & miss immensely. Till we meet again...

Thinking of you Mum during your favorite holiday season. Empty without you. The only solice I find is knowing we'll be together again.
I love & miss you

God Saw You...

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

by Adam Males

Hard Word To Say

Why can’t we say the word
The hurtful word goodbye
How long can we linger
How much longer will we cry

We know that it is hard
Goodbyes are what we fear
Still open without closures
We dry up another tear

One day it will come
Maybe soon that fateful day
We still think its difficult
Goodbye is so hard to say

You are in our hearts forever.We love and miss you, Nanny....

Dear Mom,
Another Christmas has come & gone without you. It's never going to be the same again. You always made it so special and thought of everyone. I love you and miss you more than you could ever know. Till we meet again...

Wings Of The Angels



A gentle wind blew cross the land

Reaching out to take a hand

For on the winds the angels came

Calling out a mother's name.



Left behind, the children's tears

Loving memories of the years

Of joy and love, a life well spent

And now to God a mother's sent.



On angel's wings, a heavenly flight

The journey home, towards the light

To those who weep, a life is gone

But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.



It's been a year but seems like yesterday,we love you & miss you Mum...

It's our first Mothers Day without you Ma and it's such an empty feeling without you here. Mothers Day will never mean what it did when you were here. You took a part of me with you and things will never be the same.



I'll always love you & miss you and I know we'll be together again one day...

God Was Your Closest Friend



I knew you were hurting although you wouldn’t cry,

And could see you were suffering, see the pain in your eye

I wanted to comfort you, to hold you, be with you that day,

You looked so helpless and frail while in bed you did lay.



I watched as you shivered from a new pain,

And wondered how I might have handled the same.

I wanted to scream, to shout, and to yell,

You said you were fine although your skin was so pale.



I knew in my heart your time was near end,

And wished I could take you, your body to mend.

I knew that soon God would be your closest friend,

You told me many times that’s how it would end.



I stood there watching as each breath came slow,

And fought to find courage, my emotions were low.

I promised you when the time came that I’d not cry,

You never saw my eyes wet, always they were dry.



I held your hand as I silently said goodbye,

And knew in my heart that soon you would die.

I stroked your forehead and said how I loved you,

You nodded and smiled and I knew that you knew.



I no longer care, my tears I can’t hide,

And as I stood there waiting for death by your side.

I knew then that God was your closest friend,

You had told me many times that’s how it would end.



by Randall Beers



I love you Ma...

"Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You,

You allow Your healing hand to heal me,

Touch my soul with compassion for others,

Touch my heart with Your courage and love for all,

Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that I may always praise You.

Teach me how to reach out to You in my hour of need,

Help me to lead others to You, most loving heart of Jesus.

Bring me health in my spirit so I may serve You with my whole heart, soul, mind and strength.

Touch gently, Jesus, this life which you have blessed..."



I love you Mom more than you'll ever know and I thank God we had you for our most beloved Mother. I know & believe we'll be together again some day and you believed it also. Even now I can feel you watching over us.

Till we meet again...

You will be greatly missed Auntie. You are @ peace now. All our love.
