Happiest of birthdays mom. Not a day goes by...miss you every single moment. XOXO

Miss you Mom.

I love you mom...so so much. The years are flying by, just like you warned. I miss you every single day. Dance with papa today. XO

Mom, happy heavenly birthday! I miss you. Every single day....I still want to call you and update you on everything...your namesake and her precious boys. I want to bring you flowers and take you to lunch and spoil you...oh how I miss our talks. I love and miss you mom...to the moon and back. XOXO

Love and miss you, Mom. Happy birthday.

Sweet mom,
I can't believe how fast time goes. You always warned about that...13 years since you went to be with Jesus. It seems impossible. So so much has changed in this world, and a lot of it not good. BUT.. we sure try to find it every day. You wouldn't believe your grandchildren and great grandchildren! They are such blessings! We talk about you to them. They know you mom. We miss you every single day. We love you more than words can ever say. We will unite and hug again some day precious mom. XOXOXO

I love you mom. Not a day goes by that you aren't a thought. I hear your voice, feel your love, and embrace your guidance constantly. Thank you for being the kind of mom anyone would wish or pray for....your strength was like no other...your faith was unwavering. I love you so deeply mom and am so, so grateful I had you even though it wasn't long enough. So truly thankful that God chose you for me.

Happy Birthday, sweet Mom. I love you. Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you.

Happy Mother’s Day to the best Mom anyone could ask for. Everything I know about being a Mom I learned from you and all your goodness.
I miss you so much and love you forever.

Hi Mom. Today brings back the memory of 12 years ago when we lost you. I miss you no less today than I did that day.
I love you Mom.

Happy birthday Nona. I miss you like crazy. What I would give for one more day with you.... Today I am celebrating you and the blessing you are in my life. I am forever changed because of your love. Thank you for being such a perfect Nona. I love you. -allie

Happy birthday, Mom!
I love you and forever miss you.

Happy happy birthday sweet mom. I miss you every single day. The days still blend into one and I vividly remember you saying how fast time goes and that it doesn't slow down. I try to cherish every moment but it's so hard wanting you and dad here on earth still. You would adore your namesake's little ones. They're precious mom. They will know you and dad by pictures and our stories and love for you. We all miss you and talk about the wonderful memories you gave us. I hope to do the same with my family, and be at least half the mom you were. I love you mom. Happy Birthday. XOXO

The world has gotten crazy Lynne. It feels so out of control and I find myself anxious and even frightened at times. I know that your words of wisdom would be a comfort. I so wish I could call you. You are sorely missed my friend. Somehow that hasnt changed much. ❤

Constantly missing you.
Always loving you.
Forever thankful you're my Mom.

Dear sweet mom,
11 years. I can't believe it some days. I still hear your voice. I wish I could call you and hear your sweet words and love and encouragement. The world is crazy right now and unsafe. Every day is surreal during this blasted virus that's nearly shut down everything. I could write you a book here but I won't. I miss you every single day, just as much as when you went to hold God's hands. I admire you and love you endlessly mom. The hurt still cuts deep but I know I'll see you and hug you again someday. I LOVE YOU MOM.

Happy Birthday, Mom.
I love you.

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MOM. You have no idea how much you're missed and loved. You are the best angel ever. I miss calling you, telling you things, having your sweet words talk me off a ledge, your sweet laugh....dance with daddy mom. I love you. XOXO

Another Christmas has come and gone and again you were missed. I always remember how much you loved the holidays and I can't help but wish we had shared many many more together.
I read this message during the holidays:
Death changes everything. Time changes nothing, I still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just bring in your presence. So no, time changes nothing. I miss you just as much today as the day you died. I just miss you my friend.

I love you, Mom

I miss you more than I could ever express Lynne. Your friendship helped me through many rough times and shared in many good times for me and my family. I'm sure you would be pleased to know how much your children have come to mean to my family. I look forward to seeing you again someday, my sweet friend. You are truly loved and missed!

Oh my gosh mom...10 years...10 long years of missing you so so much!! I miss you every single day. Ive said it a hundred million times but you were the best mom ever. You would be so proud of your namesake graduating from college, and your grandson-there are no words. Hes beyond precious. I love and miss you mom. Not a day goes by that you arent in my thoughts. I love you.

I love you, Mom. Happy birthday❤

Happy birthday mom. I miss you so so much. You and dad are missed every single day. Life was never the same when you went to be with Jesus. So many things have changed, so many seasons gone, but new life has come too mom. I want to call you and tell you everything. Oh how I miss our talks and our laughs. Can't wait to see you again mom. I love you so very, very much. XOXO

Love you.

Happy Anniversary my friend. This Is a big one. I'm sure you two are dancing and celebrating today. Sure missed you at our celebration. Miss you terribly every day.

I love you mom. Mother's Day is never the same...I posted a prayer for you mom. It goes like this: If Roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day. But there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

I love you so much mom. XOXO

Tomorrow is Mothers Day and I cant help think about the many times we talked about the joy our children brought to our lives. I miss those talks, my friend. You are truly missed, in so many ways, every day.

I love you, Mom. Missing you every single day.
XOXO

Oh sweet mom, to think you would have been 80!! Miss you every single day. Happy birthday beautiful mom. Wishing you that several times yesterday. Dance with Dad mom. Love you more than words can say and cant wait to see you again, XOXO

Happy Birthday, Mom❤
Missing you - and our usual birthday chat.
I love you.

Merry Christmas, Mom. Not the same holiday without you and Papa here, but we do the best we can knowing one day we'll be together again. I love and miss you.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEET MOM! I miss you. Dance with dad...such loving memories of that. You were smiling down at your namesake's wedding...I miss you mom. More than words can say but I know you are whole again. I love you and miss you every single day. XO

Happy Anniversary!
Thinking of you and Papa today.
Much love to you both XO

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love and miss you terribly. You're always in my heart and I'm especially reminded today what a loving and devoted mother you were. Keep watching over us.
I love you.

I love you mom. It never ever gets easier...I miss you and dad more than words can ever say. I smile knowing I will see you both again. Until then my precious mom, XO

Mom, I have a heavy heart today, on your 8 year anniversary. I miss you so much, but am thankful you're no longer in pain and are resting in the arms of Jesus along with our beloved Papa. I love you.

Happy, happy birthday, sweet Mom. I love you and miss you more than ever.

Happy Mother's Day sweet mom! I miss you every day...church songs brought me to tears ... I will see you again...praise God for that. I love you mom.

Happy Mother's Day my precious Mommy. Heaven holds you now, but I'd give anything to be with you again. Today is so bittersweet and I just hold on to the promise that I'll see you again. Until then, sweet Mother...
All my love.

Just miss you terribly my friend! Sometimes it feels like the world is upside down and backwards and I would give anything to talk to you. I know that I will see you again in heaven but I will miss you greatly until then. Love you Lynne.

Hi mom,
I can't believe it's been 7 years. 7 years that you went to be with the Lord... I miss you every single dayyou and dad both. You two are the reason I am who I am today. I love you mom. You were my rock. I love you more than you will ever know. I will be with you again someday. I hope you're dancing with dad. I have so many precious memories of you, mom. You were the absolute best mom in the world. I love you and miss you terriblyevery single day. XOXOXO

Miss you so much my friend. Your sage wisdom was always such a comfort to me. I so wish I could stop by for tea and share my joy and my worries with you. The years go by but missing you doesn't get easier. Will it ever?

Dear mom:
Time passes but the hurt does not. Can't believe yesterday marked 6 years that you went to hold God's hand. We miss you deeply every single day. You would not believe your newest great granddaughter, Hazel Kelly Potter. She was born the day before Papa's birthday. We are enjoying her so, so much. She looks just like Erin mom! All of us great aunties just eat her up. You would too!
All of us miss you terribly...the pain never fades. We love you and are so happy that you aren't in any pain...but miss you every single day.
LOVE YOU MOM! We will be with you again some day.

Mom, thoughts of you and Papa are with me every single day.

Dear Mom and Dad:
Today is 46 years for you. Happy Anniversary! I know you are dancing and enjoying every moment of it. We miss you deeply every single day. I can't express how much we miss you mom and dad. The hurt is still awful but you're not hurting anymore..and that makes us smile.
We love you.

Sweet Mom. I know you watch over us, but oh how I wish you were here physically to see your first-born granddaughter pregnant. She just shines. Missing you more than ever at this time and remembering your trip to NM at such an exciting time in March 32 years ago. I'll never forget those days you spent with us. You will be this baby's guardian angel, as you are to all of us. Love you, Mom.

Missing you terribly Mom; yesterday was an especially hard day. Thank you for the gift of snow in March ~ we all knew that was from you! Love you more than yesterday ~ less than tomorrow. XO

Dear mom,
I can't believe it's been 5 years today that we lost you...lost you here on earth only...not in our hearts and minds. Three of your girls are about to live near one another mom. Beth and Jon are moving to VA soon too!
I hope you danced with dad today, I hope you feel at peace. We miss you more than ever mom and the pain is still real and so fierce...tears still flow but we try and remember the happy times because that's what you would want. We try and think how glorious it will be when we are reunited with you.
I love you mom and I miss you so much. I miss your loving words and warm hugs and your wisdom. I miss your uplifting words and never ending faith. I pray I am half the mom that you were.
I love you mom.

Happy Birthday, dear sweet Mom! So would have loved to give you a big hug yesterday. Missing you and loving you as much as ever.

So wish I could wish you a Happy Birthday today my sweet friend. Miss you terribly,

Dear sweet Mom! It's your birthday today--Happy Birthday to you! You've been on my mind all day and although I miss you so much and want to celebrate with you, it gives me some peace knowing you're with dad and your mom, Aunt Brookie, Aunt Peggy, and many others who love you. There are so many times I find myself wanting to tell you something, ask you a question or long so much to just be right next to you. I miss hearing your gentle voice and feeling your sweet mom hugs. I could've never asked for a better mother and it seems I never told you enough. You are the best, Mom, and I miss you as much today as I do every other day. I love you and miss you more than words can express. Happy Birthday mommy! XO

Hi mom:
Oh how I need you so badly in my life...just looking up to you and tossing up a prayer will have to do. I was going to write on Jan. 14, the day we lost sweet papa, but I don't think I'll be functioning that day. The pain is still unbearable when I say to myself you have lost both of your parents. but it's only a temporary loss and I have to keep remembering that. I will see you again someday. I love you so very much mom. I think of you every single day and try to remember all your wise words and your scriptures from the Bible to lean on. I love you and miss you and dad terribly, more than words will ever express. xoxo

Mom, the last entry someone made is so very true - another year gone by and you're still so terribly missed. Life will just never be the same. I love you.

Another year begins and I find myself missing you every bit as much as I did in the last one. Will that ever change? This last month I so could have used a little of your grace. I just miss our sweet friendship Lynn.

Mom, you are always on my mind. I miss you so much.

Sweet Mom, I know you are celebrating Papa's birthday with him today. Words can't express how much you are both missed. We'll all be together again someday. I love you, Mom. XO

I miss you more than words could ever express Lynne. So many times I have picked up the phone to call you and quickly realized that was not possible. I will forever miss your grace and wisdom. We miss Papa so much. Although losing him was unbelievably painful, your family is consoled by the knowledge that you are lovingly caring for each other. You are both forever loved and missed my sweet friend.

Happy Anniversary mom. We all miss you and papa so very much. Not a day goes by that we don't miss you and think about you. I know I will see you again but down here on earth, it is so hard and a daily struggle to keep my head up. You used to say chin up and feet flat...it's very hard to do that when the pain is constant, never-ending.
We love and miss you and dad...still can't believe you are both with the Lord, but I look so forward to when I see you both again.
I love you mom,
xoxo

Mom, I know you celebrated with Papa yesterday and that makes me smile. I love and miss you every single day.
XOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOX

Happy Birthday Mom! 75 today...you are celebrating with dad this year and I just know that makes you both so happy. Knowing that does help ease the pain I have from missing you both so much. He told me how hard it was for him when your birthday came these past few years because he always loved findng you that special music box every year! I loved seeing him so happy with his purchase and you so happy with his choice! What a special memory I have of this, mom! One day we will all celebrate together again, and I long for that day to be with you both. I love you sweet mom and miss you so very much!

Dear Mama B:

Happy Birthday sweet lady! I think of you often and am so glad that we had a chance to meet. I miss our email chats. In my eyes, you will always be a beautiful, loving and kind person. I hope that you and Papa B are in each other's arms again. Your sweet Shawna and I are still the best of friends. I love you and miss you very much.

Dear mom: As you approach your birthday this weekend, you will have Papa there this year...and years to come. I miss you both terribly...the pain is awful and sometimes the tears don't stop. BUT...I know I will see you two again and that you are in a much better place...so that is my saving grace. I love you.

Sweet Mom-I know you had your loving arms open for dad just a few weeks ago...I take comfort in that. I miss you both more than you will ever know and I can't wait to be held by my parents again. I love you

Mom, take care of Papa as you always did; and Papa, take care of Mom as you always did. I love you.

Miss you terribly but know that you are lovingly hugging sweet Papa now. Love you both so much.

Merry Christmas, Mom. Loving you and missing you every single day.
XO

Hi, Mom. Thinking of you as always. Missing you terribly still. I love you.

Thinking about you and wishing you were here to chat. I could sure use my friends wisdom today, along with a good hug. You wil always be missed.

Mom, you were on my mind on Mother's Day just as you are every single day. I love and miss you so much.

Yesterday did not go unnoticed. I woke up thinking about you and wishing we could spend some time together. Will that longing ever go away? I doubt it. I miss you!

Dear mom:
It has been 3 long years...I still miss you as much as I did that dreaded day 3 years ago. It's soooo hard not to pick up the phone and call you with news all of us have or just to say hi, or just to say I love you. I love that you aren't in any more pain and that you have family up there with you, but I don't love how time really doesn't heal...at least for some of us. I love you so very much. Papa is doing well and I'm taking care of him the best I can. He misses you too but you married a strong man, so he just plugs along. You would be proud. We talk about you all the time and how much we cherish all the wonderful memories and traditions that you gave our family. We love you mom, more than you'll ever know. XOXOXOXOXO

Happy, Happy Birthday, Mom! You're foremost in my thoughts today and I'd give anything to pick up the phone and call you. I love you and miss you very much.

Miss, miss, miss you!!!

Dearest Lynne, Some days pass and I think maybe it has gotten better and then others feel like someone stabbed my heart. I miss you so much Lynne. I know you are happy with your mom and I will see you again someday but I so wish we had been given just a bit more time. There were so many things I wanted to say. I miss our wonderful long talks, your precious grace and wisdom and the many fun times we had just sitting side-by-side in the theater or at home watching movies together. Your family is well although spreading out and moving away. I hate it but know it is part of life. I too am well as is my family. Having said that, we will always feel your loss. Love you my friend.

Dear Lynne,
We knew you as children and babysat Terri and Kelly--you were our mother's special friend and coffee buddy. We remember you sitting for hours on end talking and laughing having a good time! You always looked so pretty when you went out on the nites that we babysat.
We are still missing our momma, Peggy, for 15 years!!!
Someday we will all meet again!!

Hi Momma. I'm just really missing you and wishing you were here for me to call and talk to. A lot is going on... your first-born granchild is getting married next June! You'd love Jason; he's a wonderful man. He has an adorable son, Tyler, 7 years old, who would steal your heart. Papa is in NM with Shawna. THAT seems just not right if you know what I mean. For Papa to NOT be in CO..... WEIRD. I know Shawna and Dave will take good care of him though. Beth is moving on with her life with Jon. Such a great guy - I think the two of them are going to be very happy. Poco is living with us now. We love that little guy. He still has a bit of napoleon complex but he's such a sweet dog. We're taking good care of him for you. Life goes on, but you're so terribly, terribly missed. I love you, Mom, and think about you every single day. Please watch over all of us until we can be together again.

Dear mom: Once again the tears fall and won't stop...time is not healing. I miss you as much or more today as I did 2 years ago this very day when you went to be with our Lord. I absolutely cannot wait to see you. I love you so much and I miss you terribly. I'm still selfishly wanting you back, but I do know you're in a better place...I just wasn't done enjoying you. I love you mommy. XOXO

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRECIOUS MOM!
I love you and miss you as much as I did the very second God took you. Life goes on but the ache is always there. XO

February 24, 2011
Happy Birthday Mama! We love you so much and miss you EVERY single day. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. Happy 73rd...we know you're celebrating with Gran and Aunt Brookie. We love you so much and MISS you so much. --Shawna

Happy Thankgiving, Sweet Mom. Missing you terribly. Please continue to watch over us until we can be with you again.
I love you.

Not a day goes by I dont think about you.You were gone much too early.I cant believe a year and 3 months have gone by.I miss our lunchie -poos, and your fabulous sense of humor.I hope the time will go fast till I can see you and Jerry and Ruth and all the gang soon.Until then, Ill miss you!

Oh sweet mom, I can't believe you have been away a year...I feel that I have been walking around numb and it's all of a sudden hit me-after an entire year..I feel I am grieving more today than maybe I ever have. I am selfishly wanting you back, but know you are in a much better place, a better place than we are in! Daddy is being taken care of, as best I and the others know how, and I know you shine down on him everyday, and I know it is you giving me the strength I need to be there for him! Thank you for being the best mom ever! I miss you and look forward to seeing you again...and holding your sweet hand in mine. I love you!

Mom: We have slowly survived this past year but not without missing you every moment. Hard to believe a year has passed...I can't wait for the years to go by so I can be with you. I know you are in a much, much better place with other loved ones of yours but we miss you here...so very much. I love you mommy.

Mom, it's been a year... a whole year since we said "see you later in a better place." I miss you terribly but I realize it's myself I feel sorry for and I know that you are finally well and happy. That is what I will concentrate on today. I think of you every single day and love you with all my heart.

As we approach the one year anniversary, tomorrow, I realize that I don't comprehend you not being here anymore than I did a year ago. I miss you so much Lynne.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET MOM!!!!!!!! I'd give anything to call you on the phone and tell you that today. I am thinking of you as always and wishing you a continued peace. I love you and miss you so much.

Mommy, our beloved Rocky went to be with you this past Monday. Our hearts are broken, as you can imagine. I know you'll take good care of him and give him lots of love. Miss you and love you more than ever.

You were missed this holiday Lynne. I love Christmas but this year was a little harder. I miss my shopping and movie buddy. Truly, there are an endless number of reasons why I wish you were here. I know that time will make it easier but you will always be loved and missed. Love you.

Mom, I survived Christmas, as much as I dreaded celebrating without you. It just wasn't the same and never will be. Now we move into another New Year.... 2010 sounds so strange. Mom, I think about you every single day, miss you more than I can express, and love you with all my heart.
XO

There isn't a day go by that I don't think of the wonderful memories we shared. Thank you for being my friend. You are sorely missed.

Mom, today is sweet Gran's birthday and yesterday was your baby girl Shawna's birthday.
I love you and am still missing you terribly.

What a treasure your friendship was and always will be to me. I miss you more than I could ever express my sweet friend.

Still so hard; still so fresh; still so unreal.

Oh mommy: The days still blend into one...and I still can't fathom the idea that I can't call you every day. I miss you more than words can express. I love you so much mom...and I can't wait to see you again! Love you mommy, Shawna

Mommy, I miss you more each day.

A Poem for you, my sweet Mom

When you have a mother
who cares so much for you
that anything you want
becomes her desires.
When you have a mother
who is so understanding that
no matter what is bothering you
she can make you smile.
When you have a mother
who is so strong that
no matter what obstacles she faces,
she is always confident in front of you.
When you have a mother
who actively pursues her goals in life,
but includes you in all her goals,
you are very lucky indeed.
Having a mother like this
makes it easy to grow up
into a loving, strong adult.
Thank you for being this kind
of wonderful mother.
I miss you, mom!
Your baby girl
