Dear mom,
Pretty much every day I find myself reaching for the phone to call you, or going into your room to tell you something...then with heavy sadness I remember that you are gone and I can't tell you. So I decided that I would tell you all these things here.
First, I want to tell you about the amazing slide show that Joe put together for you (well really for me) anyway it is just awesome and as soon as I figure it out, I will post the pics here. Many thanks again Joe it just means so much!
Next i want to tell you - the boys are here!! Little Luke arrived at 4.4lbs and brother Max at 5.1lbs on sept. 27th. They are just adorable and I so wish you were here to see them (I know, you can see them:-)) anyways, they are doing great, not home yet but soon. And Peter &Jill are just over the mon happy !!! I've never seen a more involved father than Peter -he just LOVES every minute spent with them.
Finally, I found the most interesting thing in a magazine that came for you-it has cheddar cheese with cranberries and with blueberries!! I know, right? I thought you would order it if you were here so I'm going to order some and will let you know how it tastes!!
I love you and miss you dearly - thanks for being the best mom ever!!!
Your Lisa Jo

This terrific women is my grandma and I appreciate Thatcher because she was great. This awesome personals not just my grandma she was the world's smile and the best person I knew. She gave birth to a terrific women named Lisa Jo Tounzen and now she is with Jesus and I think she is in a better place. If she was still here with us now I would probily be with her and I would love the time with her. She helped out every one and be to everyone even if they were mean to every one else. That is why she is the best person in the world.

All family and friends who see this message don't forget to light a candle on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter as my Grandma and Grandpa always did so we could all feel together. Time to light is 9:00am PST, 10:00am MST, 11:00am CST and 12:00pm EST. Good bless!

Grandma I miss you dearly but just as mom said we feel happiness in our hearts knowing you are back in grandpa's arms. All I ever wanted for you was pure love and happiness. You are my inspiration and role model. If it wasn't for you and my mom I wouldn't be the woman I am now. Thank you for everything you taught me and for loving me the way you did. You are forever in my heart! Love Brina

To my dear sweet Mother,
I am sad that I no longer have you here with me but at the same time have this amazing peace in my heart because in my mind's eye I can see you up in heaven holding Dad's hand and giggling like a little girl with glee and happiness that you are finally with "your Tom". I miss you terribly and at the same time am so very happy for you. I love you more than the spoken word can tell. Your Lisa Jo
