Four years later and the loss of Mom remains heavy in our hearts, Every day is a constant reminder of the Loving Mother, Mentor and our "Rock" in Life, Miss You, Love You.
Raymond

So, Mom we are coming towards the end of another year.  It is now mid-December and yep, it is getting very cold along with some snow on the ground.  This Saturday, Sharon, Ray, and I are going to come and visit you before we go to Mass Services.

I sure miss you, a lot.  Love Big Mike.

If Roses grow in Heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her there from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But there's an ache within my heart 
that will never go away.
Ray

Mom - with you in Heaven it is a better place.  Keep an eye on us down here.

Debbie, Randy, Donna, Sam and her boyfriend plus young son, Sharon and I had dinner last night at one of your favorite places - Golden Hawk.  It sure was special awakening dinner memories with you and the family.

We all miss you very much.  Love Big Mike.

It is that time of year again - Holiday Season.  Family and friends are scurrying around getting ready for the big days ahead.  It just isn't the same without Mom and Dad.  Mom really loved spending the family time and to see everyone together actually at one house at the same time.  Mom loved the simple things and tried her best to show that to her children and grandchildren.  Family to her was always the most important part of the Season.

I miss, we all miss, her so much.

We all miss You and Dad very much.  Keep a close eye on us to ensure we stay on that righteous path you mapped out.    

Mom, I was in Church last week and in the pew ahead of me was a family - grandchildren, children, sons and daughters with their spouses.  They took the whole pew.  And right in the middle was The Rock of the Family - Great Grandma.  It so reminded me of you and the family you raised.  Brought several tears. 

Love Big Mike

An excerpt from the poem "Lady Elaine" by Donna Naughton -
This is the story of Lady Elaine, ~ Her well-bred youth she did retain, ~ The Matriarch, A woman with impeccable taste, ~
She bestowed upon us her everlasting grace. ~ Getting together was her favorite verse, ~ Her love was palpable and unrehearsed. ~ We gather here to celebrate her today, ~ Quiet now, on this cold winter’s day. ~ Think of how many lives would be changed, ~ If it weren’t for the love of Elaine and Ray, ~ Their family, as it was told, ~ Was life’s most precious gift to behold. ~ And life’s most precious gift was mother’s love, ~ She taught her children to honor God above. ~ No doubt, they are all fine human beings, ~ In each one, a reflection of her can be seen ~ On this cold winter’s day. ~ On this cold winter’s day, ~ We find warmth in memories of her smile, ~ Telephone conversations, and talks that lasted a while. ~ Knowing the light she brought others will still shine bright ~ As this cold winter day slowly dims to night. ~ Consider the source, her favorite phrase, ~ I am about to tell you what should not amaze, ~ That Lady Elaine, in my heart I hold dear, ~ Great friends first, then mother-in-law after a few years. ~ And of all her many triumphs, ~ I am most thankful of all, ~ That she gave birth to my Michael, ~ Precious he was called. ~ She instilled in him what she always believed, ~ If you persist and keep trying, you will succeed. ~ As we bid farewell on this cold winter’s day, ~ We reflect on what she meant to us, what she instilled in us, ~ Is forever and ever here in our hearts to stay. ~ She is only a prayer, or a thought, or a smile away, ~ So go forth and let her life be celebrated. ~ Lady Elaine lives on through the family she created.
*Mom, you were my dear friend for many years.  I am so proud to have been able to call you Mom and be a part of your family.  I will take good care of your son for you as you had asked me to.  I miss you so!  Much love, Donna


To Mom:
I miss you so much already.  I always will.

The love you had for your family was shown everyday.  You were always there for all of us.  Giving so much love and help to all of us.  You lived a life of giving never asking for anything in return.  You just wanted the best for everyone.  Family meant the world to you.  

You truly were my second mom.  Always there for Sharon, Matt and I and then for your Grandchildren.  You always put them first.

Love you so much
Your son, Big Mike.
