Guys,
I have wrote and re- wrote and erased. We have been friends since we were kids but have since grown up and moved on. I have very fond memories of growing up with you guys and I know my family has also. Your mother was a wonderful mother; Very protective, loving, caring, nurturing. I know she loved her family very much. It was evident. She was so proud of you guys. You were her everything. You were her stars. So sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what you're going through. Hang tough.
Much love,
Jonna

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. I do hope she at least rec'd my card & letter I wrote to her before she died. She was the best Mom and I know you all
will miss her so much but may the memories you have of her help ease the pain
and just knowing she was so proud of all of you and loved you all so very
much. We are thinking of all of you- Morris & Janie

We had the best mom.....and yes our childhood was less than perfect....but we sure do have fun thinking about the good the bad and the ugly times of our youth....
I held her hand and Joseph paced the room as she took her final breaths...and I would not have traded that moment for anything in the world.....
We love u mom.....
ps.....send me those winning lottery numbers......lol......u promised!

Dear Mom....perhaps you werent a perfect mom.....but perfection is boring.....so god gave us you.....and we have the most fun thinking of the good, the bad and the ugly times of our childhood......it makes us who we are today and we would not trade that for the world.....
We loved to tease you and Joseph and I will miss texting each other the "crazy joan topic of the day."....lol....
In the end, when you took your final breath I held your hand and Joseph paced the room....and we would not have had it any other way.......
We scooped our mom up and stood guard against anyone who thought they should get to see her in her final days.....we are sorry if we offended you.....but nobody wants a 3 ring circus when they are feeling less than zero......
Love you mom.....
ps dont forget to watch over me on my motorcycle!!!
love jeanette

I was so happy to spend some time with my sister before her death.
She was proud of her family, and her kids and grand kids were equally proud of her.
I know she will be taken care of our brother Rich who preceeded her in death last December.

Jeanette,
You have stepped up and been absolutely awsome. Your mom is very lucky too have such a knowledgable caring daughter. You took an absolutely awful situation and handeled it with grace. Hold your head high, know that you have done all that you could and that because of your caring nature your mom received the best care possible. No doubts and no second guessing, just remember the good times. Our family at Lutheran ER are so proud of you. My thought are with you and your family.
