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.
I need to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
Your anniversary is full of memories, wonderful, yet so sad. Of all the celebrations and the happy times we have had.
And though you’re missed every single day, smiling when we think of you helps us on our way.
And as both of you were so wonderful and played so many parts. You never really left us Mom and Dad because you are still here in our hearts. 💕
With all that I have been through, all the hurt, all the pain, all the struggles that have come as a result of losing you, I am still forever grateful that I had you. Miss you every day. 💔
Remembering Dad on Father’s Day. I read dozens of poems but could not find one that I liked. So, I will make it short and sweet. Happy Father’s Day from your daughters.
In God’s garden up above, stands a Rose we dearly love. She stands with petals open wide, watered by the tears we all have cried. Her fragrance fills our lives each day, locked in our hearts she will always stay.
Sadly missed by all who knew her, especially her daughters, Valerie, Cheryl, Sandy, Carol and Donna.
You were Daddy’s girl. After Daddy died you became my girl. You were always happy. You made people smile especially with the way you wagged your tail making it go in circles. When you went to the Vet you thought you were the host of a party. You had to greet everyone in the office and in the waiting room. You would also greet anyone who walked through the door. I always called you the Vets Walmart greeter. Rest in peace sweetheart. Love you always. Mom 🐾❤️
To my Tyler who has been my best buddy for the past 15 years. You have brought joy to my life more than you will ever know especially after Daddy died. You were the sweetest cat that I was lucky enough to have fostered then adopted. Mommy will miss you every day. Go find your brothers and sisters. Mommy will see you again someday. Love you always. 🐾❤️
I was just a pup when we first met; I loved you from the start.
You picked me up and took me home and placed me in your heart.
Good times we had together; we shared all life could throw. But years passed all too quickly,
My time had come to go. I know how much you miss me. I know your heart is sore.
I see the tears that fall when I’m not waiting at the door.
You always did your best for me; your love was plain to see. For even though it broke your heart; you set my spirit free.
So please be brave without me; one day we’ll meet once more. For when you’re called to Heaven I’ll be waiting at the door.
