Mom, There isn't a day that goes by where I don't at some point think of you. I miss you SO much!!
-Maggie

Happy New Years Mom,There are no words to express how much I love you and miss you. I miss the sound of your voice every day. It is so hard not calling you every day just to say Good Morning Sunshine and I love you. I miss you soooo much!xoxo

Mom, Happy Birthday!  It's your first in Heaven. Missing your voice! 
Every year as far back as I can remember, I called you for your famous sausage stuffing recipe. Well, the holidays are here and I am scrambling to remember your ingredients. I never wrote your recipe down, because I never thought or could imagine life without you. I am missing you terribly!!!  I Love you so much! (((((HUGS)))))

Hello Gorgeous Mother of Mine, I know you hear me when I talk to you everyday. I am still going through Mommy withdrawal. Trying to get used to not picking up the phone to call you when I have my morning coffee. Good habits are hard to break.  I miss your voice.  I miss you! I love you!

Mom,I miss you SO MUCH..Every day is so hard. I stop myself so many times a day wanting to call you.I find it so hard to be strong without you.Some days are so overwhelming.You were my strength and my best friend.I miss calling and saying good morning to my sunshine. I miss you, I miss your voice. I want to call you sooo bad. I love you !!!! xoxoxo (( hugs ))

Mom, I miss you terribly! I miss your presence in my life.  I miss you always being there for me. I miss my best friend!

To my dear, sweet mother...On this Mother's Day, I will spend it with my children, as every mother should.  I will cherish every second of every minute with them at the park.  We will walk a little.  Take in the beauty of today.  We will hike a little and even run for the love of it.  I will be thinking of you all day as you were there with me on my solitary runs...almost every run.  Although there is going to be a very large void in my heart today, you will be there with us as we trek through.  You always are, always were, and always will be.  Thank you for being my mom and for being a perfect example for me to follow.  I promise to do my best to be the mother to my children in their adulthood as you were to me.  I love you mom with all my heart.  xoxo  ~Terry

Mom you were there when I needed to talk or helped me to talk when I didn't know I needed to. You always knew how to make me smile. You are my role model and my best friend. I can never thank you enough for everything that you have taught me and given me and done for me. No matter how many years have past and how much I have grown I will always remember the comfort in your arms and the strength of your caring heart and the love of your beautiful smile. I love you, Love Margie XOXO (((HUGS)))

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

Rita, you are the love of my life. my best friend, my soul mate Life will be very empty without you. Save a place for me, next to you, when its my turn. pray for me.    Love you forever   your husband Joe

We thank you for opening up your home and welcoming us into your family.  You were always so nice to my girls and us.  Steltz Family

Thank you Rita with all of my heart for loving my sisters with all of your heart... Will be together soon...

My mother, my teacher of life's simplest lessons, my soulmate.  If there was a being on this earth I felt the closest connection to both physically and spirituallyâ€¦it was you, mom.  It was always you. You taught me so many beautiful lessons throughout my life.  I will hold those dear to my heart.  I will carry them with me every day and remind my own children to do the same.  Father Jim profoundly said to us: "Your mother will live on in all of you as long as you strive to live your life as she lived hers."  Mom, the void in my heart is just too much to bear sometimes, but I feel your presence always with me.  My memories will sustain me.  This is my only peace.  
~Your loving daughter, Terry

Mom, you enriched and touched my life in a way that has made me who I am today.  Just because you are no longer physically next to me, or I can no longer hear your voice, you will always be a part of me.  Mom, you gave me memories too beautiful to forget. I love you to the moon and back.

Mom you are am amazing woman of faith! You were full of love and compassion for everyone you met and family was your number one priority! You were there when my mom passed and you helped me to get through that tough time in my life. I will miss our many early morning conversations about life, spirituality, and whatever topic came up. I miss you so much but I am comforted to know that you are reunited with Michael and Jojo! I love you mom! Your son(in law) Mike

In loving memory of a beautiful and caring mother and to a life well lived. Rest in Peace.

Thank you for teaching me compassion.  Thank you for teaching me how to be kind.  I hope someday to do it as good as you Mom.  I love you, and I am going to miss you more than I ever thought a person could miss someone.  I did not know that I would feel this much of a void.  You are truly missed my dear Mother.

Mom, you will forever be a part of my heart. I will miss you so very much and I will try to live out my days with a tender heart such as yours. I am so comforted now, to know that you are with my Michael! Love your daughter, Debbie

Mom, you were a beautiful soul. I will miss you dearly. Forever in my heart and memories. Love your son, Joey

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this most difficult time. She was like a second mom to me. I remember fondly all the times I spent at your house while growing up and playing with Linda and the twins. She was always a role model of Faith in practice. I am sure Our Lord has welcomed her home with open arms. Love Always, Kathie (Fialkowski) Stauffer.
