  1. Today, July 9, 2013, is the 10th anniversary of your death. The new flowers and prayers fail to show how much I miss you. The world needs to know what a kind, gentle, forgiving person you were. My greatest sorrow and shame are that I was not there for you when you needed me. I wish I could make it up to you somehow. You are in my heart always and I love you very much.

  2. After 8 years, I still miss you very much, Mom. I wish I had been a better and more understanding daughter to you. There are so many things I would do differently if you were here. I think about you all the time and go to the cemetery to visit you. Alan and I will go tomorrow to weed eat around your marker. What I miss most is your kindness, your generosity, your intuitiveness and your lovely personality. I wish you could read the poems I wrote for you over the years. Rest in peace, sweet mother. Love, Andrea
