I miss you so much. I just want to hold your hand again. I hope you knew how important you were to me, and how much I loved you. I just want to go back and feel loved again. If I ever have a son, his name will be John, and he will know all about his amazing great-uncle.
I hope heaven has shamrocks. I hope it has music. I hope you have friends and a boyfriend.
I hope epilepsy and mitochondrial disease don’t exist in heaven. I hope you can walk and run and hear again. I hope you teach Papa some showtunes on his banjo.
I miss you so much. I love you so much. I can only hope I am making you proud.
– your loving and heartbroken nephew

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.
