Dear Mom-

Today marks nine years since you left us to join our extended family in Heaven. It always reminds us of losing you, our precious Mom.

Mom, the size of the Universe is not even large enough to express how much we miss and love you.? ??When we close our eyes, we can see your arms being wide open reaching for a hug with the sweetest smile on your face when we came to visit. ?It has been said that time is a healer. These words are so untrue. ?For we will always feel pain and have emptiness within our hearts from losing you, Dad and Brother Marvin. Our lives will never be the same without the three of you, because you made it complete.

Mom, even though you are not here with us, we feel your love from Heaven.? There are moments we sense that you are watching over us with your guiding hands on our shoulders. Just because we can no longer visit you, hug you, or see your smiling face, we will forever and always maintain you close within our hearts.

Mom, you were an awesome and loving Mother. ?The absolute best!

We love you Mom with all our hearts!

Your loving children-

Sophia, Bill, Jack, Willard, BJ & Wendell

Dear Mom and Dad ?

Another year has passed without you being with us. ??Even though we try to focus on all the awesome memories that we have of you, including your caring love, we still feel the pain of our loss.? We will always have an empty place in our souls for not having you here.? That emptiness will never heal. ?We were not prepared to lose you when we did.? We miss you every day, but the month of March is extremely hard on our emotions. We received a phone call that no one ever wants to get of the heart wrenching news of your passing during this time of year. ?

Mom and Dad, what keeps us strong is knowing that someday we will hug you once again and see your smiling faces.? Until then, continue to fly with the angels. We will continue to love and miss you and Brother Marvin.

We love you with all our hearts ?

Sophia, Bill, Jack, Willard, BJ & Wendell?
