to me

 

Mom,

Wow. 20 years. They say that time heals all pain, but I am not so sure for every time I think of you, I miss you more and more. Sure, as time passed it has gotten easier and there are not so many tears but more fond memories, your voice in head guiding me and helping thru good and difficult times. I have a beautiful family in which I am very proud of, and they bring so much joy to Jim and me.

 

Jim and I will be celebrating 35years this year. And I have to say it’s been a wonderful/challenging ride. Ryan joined the Air Force for six years and now works for General Motors. He is married to a beautiful lady (Victoria) and we now have two beautiful grandchildren (Hayden 13 ½ and Sofia 5) that are our pride/joy. Jim retired and has been watching our little Sofia for the past 5 years. We are truly blessed that we get to see Sofia almost every day and Hayden as often as we can. Since, the pandemic I have been working from home and I am looking at the possibility of retiring in May 2024 (maybe), (God willing and if I do retire, I know God will provide). Andrea, graduated for college and is making her way thru the crazy world we live in. She is living in Florida, works at Disney World (she is my Disney girl, just like our Sofia ) and Top Golf, has a doggy and loving her life. She works very hard and many long hours but enjoys what she is doing thus far.

 

Miss you mom, Love you mom. Both you and dad are

Always on my mind, forever in my Heart.

2023 letter from Susie

Mom,
Twenty years ago today…My eyes are filled with tears and my heart is so heavy. 
You brought the cheer, the laughs, the music, and the love.  Miss you every day. 
It was another big year. Big trip to Greece, Collin bought a house, Shane graduated and started college, Allison is moving to Oregon and we bought a newer motorhome. 
Wish you were here to share stories. 
Keep watching over us. 

Love 
Susie
