My angel, we missed you that day. Like every day, but especially on this day. We laughed and cried, and you weren’t there. I still can’t get used to the idea that it will always be like this. I would have liked to take you in my arms, to hold you so tightly, to see you magnificent in a beautiful costume. To see you laugh with everyone. You would have put the petals on my head, too, and I imagine you, laughing heartily… With all my heart, a strange expression… I know you were there among us, up there, somewhere above our heads, shining… shining like a shooting star. And thank you, thank you for lighting up this day between two days of rain. Thank you for leaving your smile in our lives, in our hearts and in our thoughts. Thank you for being my little nephew, for sharing these hugs, kisses and games. Then our laughter, our more mature exchanges about what you liked and what you were passionate about. But I’m still not ready to say goodbye. Because there’s no goodbye as long as you’re there, in my heart.

I know this was not the outcome any of us were expecting to happen. I spoke with your son. We didn’t know what happened to you, others were trying to get a hold of you, and no one was getting a response. So, we searched and found his number. It had already been a week since you passed so none of us got the chance to say goodbye. I had asked your son about your cats. He said his aunt is caring for them which I am thankful for. I know they were your babies. May you rest in peace Judy.

Over the past 43 years, each one of you have made an impact on my life in your own special ways. From those whom I adopted, fostered then adopted or found as a stray, you meant everything to me. Today, July 22, 2024, I had to say goodbye to Xena. I am hoping that each of you, including Daddy, were waiting for her after she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again. Love you all – Chloe, Nikki, Amy, Tessa, Roxxy, Cory, Mandy, TJ, K-Cee, Callie, Jake, Tyler, Xena and Marlee. Mom 🐾💔

As kids we didn’t have a care in the world. We especially enjoyed our family picnics. But as we grew older and went our separate ways it was hard to stay connected, especially when some of our family moved out of state. Each of us cousins were concentrating on building our lives wherever life took us. Most of us were close in age. Jeff was a year younger than me. He used to hang out with my husband when they were teenagers. They both enjoyed muscle cars and motorcycles. When Jeff came home from Florida for my mother’s funeral, he took the time to listen to me about what I have been going through before and after Mike’s death. I will never forget that. Today, June 8, 2024, Jeff passed away. I don’t know all the details of his illness, but he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it took his life very quickly. It is a sad day for our family. I hope Jeff and Mike will see each other in Heaven. May you both rest in peace.

Hi Marlo,
Ever since you left it’s been extremely hard for me. I miss you like you can’t even image. I know you’re in a better place now, but I was so used to years and years of texting and calling each other sharing our good and bad times and leaning on each other for support. I’m writing to you today to share the good news that Karen is in labor, and my baby is coming to the world today. I’m so excited. I wish you were here to experience he’s arrival. I hope heaven is treating you like the beautiful angel you were here on earth. I’ll talk to you soon. Love and miss you. Love always and forever, Trini.

I need to spend some time learning more or understanding more.

Hello Michael Steven,
It is Christmas Eve again. My 7th Christmas without you. This has been the longest years of my life. They say things happen for a reason, but I am still waiting for my answer. There is no instruction manual for life after the death of a spouse so the challenges that we must face can be very overwhelming.
I am still working on my nonprofit, but I have found since I started it that society doesn’t care about surviving spouses. I have run into many roadblocks trying to bring change, but I will keep working on it.
Last time I wrote, I told you about Roxxy and how she wasn’t doing well. She passed away on April 27, 2023. She had a massive stroke here at home. I couldn’t find anyone that time of morning to help me with her. I couldn’t lift her myself. I felt helpless. She died within a short time of having the stroke. My buddy Tyler also passed away in March. Mommy’s little Mr. T. I missed him dearly along with Roxxy. I hope they are both with you. All I have left of our 4-legged family is Beagle Baylee and Xena. I have 3 new stray cats I am taking care of. I named them Missy, Sammy, and Charlie.
I never heard from your family since your funeral. I haven’t heard from our son in over 4 years either. You need to pay Michael a visit. I emailed your sister to let her know of the grant program I created in your memory, but she never responded. Didn’t think she would. Never understood why she hated me. I never did anything to her. I am working on creating a National Day for Widows and Widowers which I picked your birthday to celebrate this special day on. If approved, I will email her about that accomplishment as well to see if I get any response from her.
I haven’t seen any signs lately that you were here. Please come and visit me. 💔😢

Hey Miss Roxx, it’s Mom. The house is so empty without you. I miss you dearly. Baylee is lost without you. I mentioned your name the other day and her entire face lit up. She needs a friend, but I can’t find another dog like you. You were one of a kind. You always lit up every room you were in. I miss your bubbly personality. I hope you are with Daddy. I knew how much you missed him. He always had time to give you a belly rub which you very much enjoyed. 🐾🐶🦴
