Mom, I note that today marks three years since you left this earth ; however I don’t mourn you more today than other days.  You will always be in my heart and my memories. It’s been a long time since we talked in person but I know that you hear me now. I love you

Mom, I’m thinking of you always. I know how much you loved to hand out candy at Halloween to the little kids. I wish you could see our great grandchildren, especially the youngest ones. We have a new addition. Saralynn is five months old and joins Josie and her husband Austen as the fifth child of their family. Josie is a surgical technician. Jordon switched paths from education to medicine, starting as a technician while she is in college. Rebecca has her masters in nursing and is studying for her nurse practitioner license. Jordon lives near Panama City, Josie near Pensacola and Rebecca recently moved into her new house in Jacksonville. We have been in Ocala since 2017, first in a resale and then building a new one in 2019.  Charlie builds cigar box guitars and makes stained glass creations. I’m painting and making mosaics. We have had our share of serious medical issues and I am sure we will endure more in the future. We just celebrated our fortieth anniversary so we must be doing something right. I feel your presence all the time and hope you are resting in peace. Lynne

Yesterday my mother would have been 94   Her grandsons were the loves of  her life and she gave them unconditional love. I know deep in my heart, although her grandsons would always come first, she would have loved her greatgreat ‘bonus “ family consisting of Sweet Carolyne 5, Cool Caleb 4, Handsome Hudson 3, Pistol Peyton 2 and 3 week old identical twin girls Saven and Wynter. Anyone who knew her knows what a big heart she had. Mom, you are loved all the time. Lynne 

Mom, I have missed you more than you will ever know. I’m comforted that you will join those who pre deceased you: your husband Norman. Your daughter Susan Furlong. Your son Ralph. Your brother Melvin Kohen and your parents Mary and Sam Kohen. You were also survived by your grandsons Shane and Jesse Rees who  lovingly called you Dawn. You will be in our hearts forever. By the way you always told me to tell the truth but said sometimes I was too honest. Well I learned to be tactful but I never forgot  what you taught me. It gave me a great reputation both in my work and  outside of work. Thanks Mom

Mom, you are free to love as your heart desires.  I will always love you. Your completely honest daughter, Lynne
