I have many fond memories of my sister Sue. One that is vivid is when Sue was a teenager & she waitressed at Mama Mia’s Italian restaurant on Pearl St in La Jolla. Our family would go to Mama Mia’s often to hang out with Sue & have dinner. Sue convinced the owners to let me be a dish washer in the kitchen. I was 8-10 yrs old & I always loved hanging at Mama Mia’s with Sue, Amy, Mary & Morrie & doing the dishes! I also remember Sue’s first new car…a blue Datsun B210! Miss you Sue!

Sue was my older and beautiful sister and I have many feelings and thoughts about her. Many difficult to discuss. I always loved when Sue would come visit me in NYC with and without the kids. We had so much fun hanging out, going to restaurants, seeing shows and walking around the city. Those were fun and meaningful times. I pray she is at peace. Amy

Even tho I only had a few visits with Sue, I felt a closeness and was impressed with her work with the elephants and with the rocks she painted.These lyrics from the song Ghost resonate with me: “I know you crossed a bridge that I can’t follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get I want you to know
That if I can’t be close to you
I’ll settle for the ghost of you” And little Molly is such a joy and fits in with our family so well. Glad she came home with me!

I loved when Aunt Sue would come over for dinner and make us all laugh. She always brought some baked goods 🙂 For years, she would bake my dad a German Chocolate cake for his birthday – the best homemade German Chocolate cake I’ve ever had. I always looked forward to her coming over. Miss her so much.

When I think of Sue, I think of Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. She always had some in the fridge and was always willing to make them for us. She wanted to do things for other people all the time and that is another very fond memory I have of her is her helpful spirit. From volunteering in Cambodia to making us feel at home with a chocolate chip cookie, she was a very caring and helpful soul. She is greatly missed and fondly remembered!

Miss you every second, of every hour, of every day…my heart and soul

Charlie was one of the rare gentlemen I had the pleasure of knowing. I am thankful to have called him my friend. He became the husband of my best friend and made her happy which made me happy. He knew that when he meet her she and I was a package deal which would make him grin. If I need anything the both of them was always there. I don’t know why God needed him so soon but I know one day us three will continue our friendship. May you rest in peace until we meet again. Miss you my friend!

My Cuz was one of a kind. We loved to get together, call and text each other to cut up and laugh. He was always there when I needed him. We shared laughs, good times and even the Bible together every time we talked or met. People aways said we looked like twins Cuz. So don’t be telling everyone in Heaven you are the best looking one! (lol) Miss you every day!

My Little Girl-

Everything you gave me, everything you taught me, everywhere we went and for everything we said and did together that made us laugh, sing or gave us a feeling of awe… for all our deep conversations and your observations that made me see life differently… for you being exactly who you always have been… I love you now and forever. I can’t wait to see you again.

Love-
Dad

Out of all the gifts you gave me, several of them you meant for me to travel with. I told you once, not long ago, that no matter where I go, you are always with me.

It’s still true Jill. Every day, you are always with me. I love you my little girl! Forever.

Love,
Dad

Dear Jillian,
We love you! We think about you all the time.
Uncle Pat, Aunt Jeanine, Jenna, Paul and Jane

This past year has been the most difficult time of my life. I’ve learned so much. Not that I wasn’t capable, but because that was how you always took care of me. You are still taking care of me even now. I really hate doing this life without you, but I do hope I’ve made you proud. Until we are together again, I will treasure the time that we had and the memories that we made. Forever yours, Rhonda

To my daddy. We never met. But I use to hear your voice when you talked to me, when I was in mommy’s belly. You use to hold your phone to mommy’s belly so I could listen to your favorite bands including the string cheese incident. I will grow up knowing you through pictures and stories told by family. Even tho we will never met, I love you very much.

To the love of my life. You left a profound impact on my life. I am a better different person because of you. I miss you every second of the day every day. You made me a mother to our beautiful daughter Madalyn. I am so grateful for the time we spent together. I miss so many things about you. Especially your sense of hummer. You were brilliant, witty and fast thinking. Some of the funny things you would say, only you could think of. You are so missed. I will love you forever.
