It's been five years. The pain is great. I can't bare to think of you not coming back. I still feel you are gone on vacation or something. You are the best mother in the world. I say are because I feel you are still here. I feel you often. I talk to you often. Time does not heal o matter what they say. Bob, Cindy, Laurie and I still suffer tremendously. Loving you forever.

To my mom and best friend:
God looked around His garden and found He an empty place, He then looked down upon his earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw that the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Love and Miss You Mom.

Everything was fine, and then I got the call
You were in a crash; it was shocking to us all
It seemed at first not serious, but reality would change,
And from that moment on, my life became so strange
It feels like it was months ago, although it's been just days
Some days are good, and some are bad, but all are in a haze
It's great to hear you giggle, or say a little joke
It really makes us happy, it really helps us cope
I'll never forget the first time, you said "I wanna die"
The hardest thing Ive ever heard, but I understand just why
I know you really meant it, at least right then and there
But to think of life without you, is more than I can bear
I don't want you to suffer; I'd gladly share your pain
Your sunlight is still bright inside, there's just a little rain
Forgive us when we say to you, I swear that youll get better
I know you don't agree with us, but listen to this letter!
Your family is your legacy, your legacy of love
You're the reason that we're here, my precious little dove
We know that on the bad days, you think you'd rather die,
But that's just not an option yet, it's too soon to say goodbye
So snap out of that state of mind, its not a downhill slope
Just get back to this life of yours; please try to share our hope
So many nights I watched you sleep, with machines beside your bed
Such long nights I would comfort you, Id sleep during the day instead
I'm so sorry that I fell asleep, in the chair there at your side
We both were so exhausted, the morning that you died
You fought so hard to come home; we all made such a fuss
I know you endured a lot of pain, hanging on&mostly for us
You said you couldn't live like that, you surely let us know
In your eyes I saw what I had to say; "It's okay, Mom, you can go"
I'll never forget that moment, the moment of your death
I whispered "Mom, I love you", as you drew your final breath
I'm grateful I was there with you, right when you left this Earth
I held your hand and kissed your cheek, my God what that was worth!
I miss you terribly, Mom.

After Sara called me about Jeane, we talked about the nice time we had with Gary and Jeane around the campfire. I was glad I had the opportunity to meet Jeane and share some stories and laughter. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Jeane loved her family very much. She was such a sweet, loving person. I am thankful I was fortunate enough to have her for a mother-in-law. I think Christmas was one of her favorite holidays as were any family get togethers. She was blessed to have such a fine family. I will miss her and always carry her in my heart.
