Dear Grandma,
Tomorrow would be your birthday. I can't stop thinking of you tonight. One of my biggest regrets, aside from not speaking at your memorial service, was not making a big production on your big day. I was so self absorbed. I'll never again forget your birthday though. I hope there is something to look forward to after dying and that you might be able to hear my thoughts and know my regrets. If I had spoken at your service I'd have said how thankful I was that your last few days were spent celebrating the beginning of my future. I would say that it felt like it was meant to be, as if you were waiting to see me finally get it right. I would say my favorite time with you was when you came to stay with me and Alex in Keystone Heights and how much fun I had sharing my sweet tooth with you and that you were the slowest eater on Earth. I would say I could see how much my Dad was going to miss you and how very sad I am that you are no longer here. I hope you didn't get sick because Alex was. I hope you didn't get sick from visiting my Mom in the hospital. I hope it wasn't the trip that may have just been too much for you. But thank-you for coming anyway. Happy Birthday. I love you and will be thinking of you, wishing you were here.

Gram, Its now september, almost 6 months since you have moved on and I feel like it was just yesterday. I know I haven't been quite right since, but its gonna take a really really long time before I grasp this lesson in life -losing the one person I was closest to and learning how to communicate with you in other ways. You and I have a special bond that could never really be fully explained. The pure love, the unspoken words that we exchanged just by looking in eachothers eyes and the comfort and safety we felt in eachothers hugs. I have always depended on you in every facet of my life. From when I was a baby girl and you used to play hide and seek with me and my towel when washing my hair, or when you took me to work with you every day, or when you played endless card games with me after school, when you and I ate entire homemade cherry pies that we made together or the hours we spent blowing bubble gum bubbles, to the encouragement of all my dreams and goals as a young woman just learning her way in life, to the limitless support and understanding and unconditional love for me, no matter what. To our endless talks about life and our worries and frustrations or hopes and wishes or laughter at the silliest things. You never ever withheld anything from me and the way you loved me will forever be present in the woman that I am today, a reflection of you. You were my angel, my special gram to raise me and guide me through life and teach me all the lessons you learned along the way and more. I have soo many more questions for you and lessons to learn from you and life to share with you. I wanted to give you everything in the world, becuase you deserved it. I wanted to be there for you and return the love and care in any way I could and I only hope and pray the little I could do for you while you were here somehow showed you how much I adore you, look up to you, respect you, need you and love you. Our connection will always be there. I am very thankful that you have already visited me on another level in my dreams to re-connect and share more of those assuring hugs. Gram, I will always need you and your guidance and love. You are my hero and I will always love you with all my heart and soul. I dont know what to do without you, but to honor you and do right by you. As Angel so sweetly assured me in my grieving, He reminded me that Gram loved you so much, her eyes and face would lighten up whenever you walked into the room and you coudl tell how much she adored and love you. So I will try not to worry too much about did I show it enough, cause Im pretty damn sure you knew it, felt it and still do. My heart aches for your company again, but Im confidant we will always be by eachothers side in spirit and love. Gram I love you and I miss you~ Love Forever Tracy your wild child grandaughter who plans to continue living the life you taught me to! MMMM-WAH

Eileen, my adopted Mom,
I will miss all of our talks when we laughed, and when we cried. You are one of my very best friends, thru good times and bad times. You will always be in my heart forever, and I wish that Heaven had e-mail.
I love you dearly and I will miss you so very much.

Dear Sis,
We are sad, and we grieve with your family over losing you. But then we think about all the happy memories-our long phone calls-your laughter-your beautiful letters-our eating at Golden Corral when you came to Hamlet. You were such a caring and beautiful person inside and out. We will see you again in heaven. You will always be in our hearts and memories.
Loving you Forever,
Myrtle(Sis),Al, and
Sandra

What can I say except that I feel so blessed that you were here for one of the greatest days of my life during the last few days of yours. How could I be so lucky? We were able to see you smile and hear your laugh one more time. I will never forget your words of encouragement about us strong Toepfer girls during the hardest days of my life. I miss you so much and now I will have another reason to wish I could have that weekend back, another reason to wish it would have never ended. I would have hugged you longer and less gentle. Thank-you for traveling down here for me. Every moment I've spent with you I will remember always and think of often.
Love,
Sandy

As a friend of the family for years "Ma" was like a second mother to me before, during and after my own mother passed away. I will always remember her beautiful smile and her willingness to laugh at just about anything and everything. She will be extremely missed by all who knew her and loved her. God Bless You, Ma. No one can hold a candle to you, but I am proud to hold one high in loving memory of all you gave me throughout the years.
Your "other daughter"

I met you for the first time at Tracys bridal shower, and second time at her wedding. Tracy always talks about you and you will be missed. Even though you are not here physically, I know you will be here spiritually for Tracy and Angel. They both love you very much.
Peace!

Thanks to you, I have a heart full of memories from childhood to my adult life. You have shown me nothing but love my entire life and I will miss you. My children will miss you. I am so happy my children got to see what a wonderful grandma you really were. You always helped out others sometimes putting yourself 2nd. I will miss our many conversations,your advise and most of all your laughter. I remember looking up at you when I was younger,even older & thinking you were just the most beautiful grandma ever. Now as an adult I realized you were just as beautiful inside. I love & miss you dearly. Eileen

Grandma, you were truly a matriarch of our family who kept us close even though some of us lived far away. You always kept me informed of our family’s whereabouts. I loved your laugh. I’m glad I inherited your ‘eye’ when you wanted to let someone know you mean business. You gave me encouragement, love and support throughout my life and I will miss you.
I love you.

There couldn't be a more beautiful woman gracing God's
Gate.
She's been in my life since I was a young woman, and has since been in my children's lives.
Her smile, her laughter and her Grace through all will remain in our hearts forever.
Though her loves and her many friends are happy to see her now, I will be happy to see her smiling face at some moment in time, when I stand before God's Gate!
