Letter from Jim - 2011

Remembering Mom 2011
Hi Mom, On your 8th anniversary of your passing, first let me say I miss you. Next let me say your husband, family and friends miss you too. I frequently think of you and often believe you are thinking of us. Your kindness, support, love, humor, attitude, friendship, guidance, family values have made a lasting impression on all of us.

I hope from afar, you can enjoy the family you and dad created, nourish and nurtured while you were here with us. I thank you for my brothers and sisters. I believe we are all different, but all share same family values you left with us. As I watch my own children grow and flourish I cant help but wish you were here to enjoy them too.

When you were here, did I show you how much I love you? Did I thank you often enough for all you have done for me? Did I keep you awake at night worrying about me to often?

It is not easy living here with out you, but it is easy thinking of you when we remember MOM. (Although it is not so easy to write…. it brings tears to my eyes every year.) Tears of sadness and tears of joy… that we celebrate your life in a way we will always remember. Tonight we will watch the movie Rachel suggest “The Prize Winner” and be thinking of you.
I remember, I thank you, I love you.

Please keep us in your prayers.

jimmy
