Emails to Heaven

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. 💕

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.
