"Today I?m supposed to send a message to someone I can?t be with, and you?re the someone I thought of. This time of year will always be the hardest. July/August is when things started going downhill for you and I can help but think about all you had to go through. And of course September is our birth month and the month you left. The holidays are coming up too which are hard without you there. I miss you so much and I?m so thankful I had you as my grandma and I will forever think about the good times instead of the bad ??"

"Mom, the kids and I are doing this Be kind to others month challenge. Today was send a message to someone you cant be with and of course you were the one who came to mind. Instead of the I miss you message I want to THANK you. You have made me the woman I am today, the mother I am today, the grandmother I am today. I am so grateful that I was blessed with you as a mom. I pray that my grandkids adore me the way mine did you or that my kids look up to me the way I did you. You were a truly amazing woman who was so loved and I appreciate everything you gave me and my kids. No matter how much I miss you or get sad over the fact you are not here anymore I always think that I was so blessed. Love you mom. "

"Mom, I just need to talk to you! Life has been so hectic and I just want to hear your voice and hear you tell me it will all be okay and you love us. I do not regret our decision to put you on hospice as you were so miserable but I do hope you understand that. I always promised I would do what I thought was best for you and I really hope you know that. I will never forget the day you looked at me and said I am dying and I lied and said no. I love you and miss you mom like crazy. "

"I miss you mom! "

"Mom, you?re always on my heart, especially this time of year that you love so much. We celebrated for you. We love you. "

"Hopped on here to feel a bit closer to you because I just miss you so much. I still can?t process it. I want to hug you mom. I love you "

"I don\'t know if this is the way to keep talking to you but It helps me. I miss you so much and think of you daily. There are so many times I go to call you to get your advice or because I heard a noise and you would make me check the house with you on the phone. I miss you more than you can ever imagine. How does one live without their mom, their rock? The holidays are so hard without you. I know you loved decorating so that is what we did, I hope you love all our trees. I love you mom. "

"Mom, A thanksgiving without you isn?t a thanksgiving to me, but we are trying. I need you to know how loved and missed you are. Love you mom, Erin"

"Hope You know how much you are loved and missed everyday! I am still broken. love and miss you! Your Baby Boy"

"I?m missing you a lot today mom. Loving you forever. Erin "

"Hey mom. Hoping you were looking down on us as we celebrated your life and legacy yesterday. Some of your daycare kids from 20+ years ago showed up- with their own kids!! You are so loved, people love your ? I don?t give a sh*t attitude? and love your loving (but sassy?) demeanor. You have a way of effortlessly working your way into people?s hearts without even knowing it. I know you were with us yesterday. I know you saw the beauty and felt the love. Life is really different without your physical presence and it hurts but looking at the sky helps. I love you so much ma!! "

"Mom it has almost been three weeks since you left us and it is not getting any easier. I miss you so much and just want to hear you say I love you one more time or at least for you to call me and to tell me not to call you cause you were sick and did not want to talk. I really hope you were looking down on us Saturday while we celebrated your life. So many people loved and cared for you so much. I know you some times had a hard time believing that but you touched so many people and had such an impact on their lives. You were so loved mom and you are so missed. I pray that you look down on me and are proud. I hope I continue to make you proud and that you are smiling down at us all. The kids and I will always remember and miss you mom. You are the reason we are the strong women we are today. None of us would be who we are without you. I love you ma. -Cass"

" Ma, One memory of you that I will always remember was the time You made your sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving, and you used so much butter the whoIe top of the casserole was just covered in it! You were so nervous that it wasn?t going to turn out, and you thought you ruined it completely. Yet that by far was the absolute best batch you had ever made! I miss our family dinners that we used to have, and helping you out in the kitchen. For some reason I feel like that is where you and I always bonded the most. ? I will miss your tickled laugh, your stubbornness, and especially your hugs. I want to Thank you from the bottom of my heart for accepting me into your family right from the start, and loving me like one of your own when you didn?t have to. You will always have a special place in my heart, and I am so blessed to have known you. I promise I will do my best to hold Your Sons hand through the good and bad days, as I know you will be our guiding light from above to help all of us get through losing you. Your life will always live on through all of our memories.. I Hope you are enjoying your beautiful wings! love you Ma ? "

"Mom, Yesterday i had a strong urge to call you and ask you what the f you were doing, and hear you laugh at me being inappropriate. I miss you. I miss knowing you are there. Because you were ALWAYS there. You were the backbone of our family for so long. Strong, stubborn and a good mom. That was you. I drive by the house on Marcy St a lot. Because that\'s where I remember you being the happiest you\'ve ever been. You loved that house. You fought hard to give your kids that house, and I am forever grateful to you for that. I am grateful you are my mom. I say ARE not WERE because you always will be. Thank you for teaching me how to be strong, and to fight. You are our Ma. We could not have asked for anyone better. Love you. "

"Thank you so much for all of the amazing memories that I?ll never be able to forget. Love and miss you so much Grandma. "

"Grandma there will never be a day when I won?t think of you and wish you were here by my side love you always. "

"Ma, It is with great courage, that I learned from you, that I write this to you. You showed us, along with the people of this world what it means to fight & not ever give up. Day after day, you fought endless battles and not one time, did you ever waiver. The strength I have today is only, and solely because I was blessed enough to have you as my momma. You taught me to do hard things, and that?s how I?ve been able to (attempt to) stand strong even now. All I am and all that I know is because of you and the things that you instilled in us daily. My love for you is endless, it runs so very deep. My gratitude for all that you are and all you are to me, well, that , mom, is something indescribable. Your physical presence is so, so missed, there is a void in my heart that will remain always & my life will never be the same. You enhanced my life in great ways and my love for you will never, ever change, nor will it end. I rest in the fact that you are at peace, comfort and are experiencing utter joy and happiness, ma!! You?ve never deserved anything like you deserve peace. I love you always. Erin "

"Mom, It took me days to finally be able to write this. Every time I start, I can?t see from the tears in my eyes. Mom, I want to thank you for being such a strong woman your whole life. You taught your kids how to do the same. You fought your whole life and had been through more than most will ever even think. You won every time! This is the only fight that you have ever lost and I am broken because you couldn?t win this battle. Mom, I have learned so much from you and I can?t thank you enough for that. You are already missed deeply. I am at peace knowing that you are not suffering anymore, but it still does not make it any easier. I?m truly blessed to call you my mother! I miss you mom, and love you even more! #giveheavensomehell Love your Baby Boy! "

"Mom you truly are my best friend and even though you are no longer physically with me I know you are still with me. Just know I love you more than words can explain and will make sure all your great grandbabies will know what a wonderful strong woman you were. Thank you for everything you have given me. I love you mom?"

"I love you and miss you. Thank you for being the best grandma. - Aliya"

"God made the decision that it was time for you to be with your Parents, Brother and your friends who have been watching over you. For us that are left behind, we will grieve together, even find some laughs between the tears. Most of all you will live on forever in all of us, in our hearts, and our precious memories. There is nothing more special than a friendship?..and that we had, we?d pick each other up when one of us were down, we held each other and hugged for comfort, during sad and happy times. When I look at the sky, I know you?re watching over us and always will, just like you always did. Shine bright my Dear Friend. I will forever miss you. Love you, Kristy ?? "

"Missing you, momma. "

"Prayers of peace for your family! "

"We will never forget you Mikey!! "
