No one knows why God takes home such a young person. But it helps to know that he give them wings, and creates a beautiful angel.
You could not stand having all of your kids scattered where you could not see them, well now you can be with us all, in our hearts and thoughts, our guardian angel.
Be at peace now Mom, and we will hug once again. I love you with all my heart.
May God give you all peace, strength and understanding in your time of loss. It is so difficult to lose a loved one, but we must understand that it is part of God’s plan for each of us at His assigned time. Remember, there are no tears and only joy and happiness in heaven.
Goodbye to the fondest of ladies – Gracie’s mom and mother to many others.
Love,
Jeannine

My 1st entry read as: No one knows why God takes home such a young person. But it helps to know that he give them wings, and creates a beautiful angel.
You could not stand having all of your kids scattered where you could not see them, well now you can be with us all, in our hearts and thoughts, our guardian angel.
Be at peace now Mom, and we will hug once again. I love you with all my heart.
My second is:
I fell you reaching out to me, and tell me that you wish you could redo the last 50 years. Spend more time, share more events, embrace more moments. Seems silly typing it on here, but it is the only way I feel I can convey at the time. There are no head stones, no graves, and no special places to embrace the moment. Even so I found my place within my heart. I think of you every single day, and have countless sleepless night of what could have been, would have been, and should have beens. But the peace of understanding that God gives us freely is that once again we will embrace. We will all be rejoicing in His name together one day. Know that I love and miss you so much Mom.
Does time heal all pain? I’ll let you know!
Its coming up on a year and if you only knew how much you have been missed..you came back in my life again, and made a change…we became mother and daughter, caregiver, but most of all best friends and then just like that you were taken from me…Ive yet to be able to say goodbye..I still sit and just cry..I still hear you say, from across the hallway..peanut come sit and visit with me ..I hear you call me cause you need help with something, when will it go away..I dont care what others do or say…you are here with me day to day, and let go I cant do..but always…always…I will love and miss you…I love and miss you mom so much…would give anything to have you back with me..but I know you are happy now back with vince.
Together once again. I love you and miss you both very much…Love Peanut
exactly a year ago on this thurs nite…but tomorrows date…you breathed your last breath of life on this earth..but with that last breath you breathed the meaning of life, family, compassion into me…you taught me what it meant to love someone UNCONDITIONALLY…you taught me the precious meaning of life..taught me the gratitude you get of giving of yourself instead of putting yourself first like so many do and have done…if i could of breathed for you mom i would of..I miss you every bit as much today as I did this time last year…I still cry…still hear you calling me..still wonder if i could of done more to help you…I know that you are here with me everyday in my heart and in my thoughts..and i know you know how much you are loved and missed…for eternity till we are together again…I love you mom..
Here We are two years to the day later…The day I prepared and finally said goodbye to the woman who gave birth to me…nursed me through sick and health…good and bad…The pain of losing her has gotten less with time…but I still miss her every single day, still long for just one more day with her, sure could use a hug from her now and then…the world just isnt right without her..I remember my final question to her, that being…Youre ready to go arent you mother, and she squeezed my hand…as I leaned over her, kissed her forehead and said…then go…and know that I love you…I know she is happy, and I know she is here with me not only in my daily thoughts, but in spirit…and I know she knows I love and miss her very much…I love you Mother.
Here it is almost 5 yrs to the day,
you’ve been weighing heavy on my mind mother, I still miss having the mother to call, we miss having grammygirl around, grandkids do something and i think , gosh mom would be so proud..it still hurts, yeah not like 5 yrs ago, but it hurts. I still long for just one more chance to maybe do something different to help you, to give 150% instead of just the 100% I gave in tryin to help you. My birthday comes around and I no longer think about partying I think about you, bringing you home that final time the day after my 41st. I miss you Mother, and Vince…
