Cheryl, Doug and Diane,
 Thank You for helping with Mother's funeral arrangements on 12/3/12. We did what we had to so she was laid to rest properly as she wanted along side Dad. We came together as a family and did what she'd told us for years she wanted. I believe Mother's proud of us and is happy. May we four be blessed in this new year, and that it continues with each new year to come. God Bless you and may we stay close and always be there for one another. I love you and I'm happy you're my siblings. Looking forward to time together in 2014. Good to know that when it counts the most, we're there for each other. This site come's down today and I hope this message made it before it does, for I wanted you all to know I appreciate you and your help w/the funeral. Words can't fully express how much you three mean to me, and how it touched my heart that you helped w/the changes that was needed. 
Love, Your Sister Cindy

Mother Your site comes down soon and we won't be able to write you.Probably won't get photos on we wanted since couldn't get someone to do it, or time ran out. Not savy w/computers and have to ask someone for help. Glad you come to me in my dreams as Dad does, and has since his passing. Put our Christmas cards on our tree like you did on yours. Thought it'd remind us of you during the holidays. Will continue to keep you in our thoughts and miss you. Visited Aunt Curlee on Sunday, and she's fine. Is 95 yrs. old till Jan.23,2014. Is in a wheel chair and still dresses well. We spoke about you and the family. Happy New Year 2014 and maybe the photos we wanted to put on your site, will be. If not, they'll go in a scrapbook or special album. There was so many to go through and choose from. Asked family for any they wanted to put on and that took time as well. Know there's many to look at and remember that event/day with you. We love you and everyone there. GOD BLESS!!Wish we could've done more with certain things, but we and a few others did our best. We believe you knew this and was pleased with what happened. May your body rest in peace, and your soul soar high in heaven.
Your Daughter Cindy and Kenny

Mother,
  Today's Mother's Day and you aren't here to share it with.We wish you a "Happy Mother's Day",and send our love. We missed not talking to you on the phone,and bringing you your card and gifts.To spend time with you for a few hours as we usually do.
  Gary brought me a beautiful card and a beautiful pot full of strawberry plants.Looking forward to all the juicy strawberries we'll get to eat! Brian's taking me to dinner,and it's my choice where.Have decided on either Eddie Lee's or Red Lobster.Both have very good food which makes it hard to decide.I'm blessed to have two son's who think of me today and everyday,and love me.
  Doug wished Cheryl,Diane,and I a Happy Mother's Day.This was so sweet and thoughtful of him,and we each told him so.I think it helped him with today,knowing he can't share it with you this year.Doug's a very special brother and we love him.The four of us are closer since your passing,and this is wonderful.Some had drifted apart over the years,and now are reunited.Life is good and we're truly blessed.Thank You Jesus for all you've blessed us with,and for reuniting these siblings.It's a happy day for sure,and it makes me smile.
 
        Love, Cindy and Kenny

Mom,
  Hope you're having a heck of a good time wherever you are.You're probably giving them a run for their money,and enjoying it.You always liked to cause mischief,and see what happened.Some things never change,so you're just being you.
  I wished you a "Happy Birthday" on your birthday(Jan.25),and I wanted to also on your site.There must've been alot of partying going on,with some brewsky's and laughter,as well as alot of joking and pulling pranks.Cindy's told me over the years,how the family liked to do these things,and have a really good time when together.Can only imagine what's been going on since you arrived in the afterlife!!!!You go girl,and keep on having fun.
  We're slowly getting better,but it's been hard with so many love one's passing since Sept.KayCee and Snicker's passings affected us both deeply.Then to have you,other family and friends pass,it took their toll on us.We're both strong people as you know,and we'll be fine.We've alot of love from family and friends,plus our dear dogs,to help us heal.
  Riding my snowmobiles has helped with the stress and pain,as well as spending time with everyone.Looking forward to riding my motorcycle come spring,and to go on long rides.It's something your daughter likes to do too.Gary rides with us on his motorcycle,and the group we ride with at times for events.Wish I could've gotten you on one before your stroke yrs. ago.A short ride just so you'd know how it feels.I think you would've enjoyed it Happy Butt(my nickname for you as you know).Maybe you'll ride with me in the afterlife.
  Glad you got what you wanted,and entered heaven peacefully,with the last word.Cindy said you'd say "OH WELL" to anyone who thought they'd be having the last word,and control.Again you showed everyone who's the BOSS when it comes to what you want Mom.Good for you!!Have a ball and tell Walt thanks for all his help when I've a mechanical problem.We seem to be alot alike,and would've been great buddies.I look forward to meeting him someday.God be with you always Mom,and enjoy your new life.I LOVE YOU!!Thanks for the years we've shared,having many good times and laughs.Will never forget you.

Your Son-In-Law Kenny"Zok"

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Mother,

   I forgot to light this candle on behalf of everyone who has either called or sent me something about your passing! My neighbors next door brought over a very large plant to me on your behalf! So from all your friends who came to my house to see you & your drivers who would take you to the doctor. Plus my neighbors & my friends. This candle is for YOU!  

P.S. They also said they are going to miss your happy smile they saw on your face when they were here for you!

Mom,

 Well today dad is gone 46 yrs. & it was also Aunt Jenny birthday if she to was a live.I am still getting cards for my lost of you! I got more of them
kind of cards, then I did of Christmas cards. But the Christmas cards I did get, the people all thank me for taking good care of YOU! I'm glad you,Cindy & I had the chance to get very close, like a mother and her daughters should be. Everyone has told me how much happy you seem to be while living with me! They also said how you even looked much better. A few of your drivers have also called me about your passing. Well I hope you are now R.I.P. Love & miss you & dad, Cheryl xoxo

Dear Father,
 You've been gone 46yrs. today,and we still miss you. There wasn't a guest book then,so we're leaving you a message on Mother's.You're together now and never will be apart again. You were 45 when you passed,and apart 45yrs.when mother passed.Maybe that's how it was to be in God's plan.You'll be together for all eternity;are you prepared? Ha!Ha! We know you're both truly happy again,and we're happy for you.
  Still miss you at holidays and family events.Wish Kenny and our family could've known you.I speak of you and other family members who've passed,telling of things and how you all were.I cherish these memories of the past,as I do those we're making now.I've been blessed with a man who love's me,and a family we've made, that does as well.They're all very special,and have some of your artistic abilities.My son's have had some drawings displayed at the Toledo Art Museum and in the paper.This made me proud,and I see the ability in some of our grandchildren,so you live on.
  Mother's w/you and the rest of our family that's passed over the yrs.This makes us happy,and you're all having a party and hanging out as in the past here on earth.Heaven must be a hoppin' and loud w/laughter with all of you there.Will see this someday in the far future,and will join in the family fun. Please give our love to all,and take great care of all our beloved pets there.They mean as much to us as all of you,and are our family.They're loved and were treated as our children,not as pets.You'll love them as well,for you can't help not to.
  Kenny has your mechanical abilities,and says he asks you for help at times.That it helps him figure out a problem,and believes you helped.He reminds me of you in other ways,so you're still with me in him.He said you'd be good buddies if you were here to share in fixing things,etc.A part of you lives on in me, as well as in some of your other children.We believe you'd be proud of us in spite of what we've been through in life.It's made us stronger as well as determined to make a better life for us and our families.
  Mother can't be harmed in anyway any longer,nor taken advantage of,and this makes many of us happy.She's w/you now,and doesn't need protecting anymore.She's missed you so,and her life wasn't as it should've been if you were here.She changed alot when you passed;especially as we kids became teens and dated.It was a reminder I believe,of what she lost when you passed.It made me sad that she felt she had nobody to love her in that special way.Now she does again,now that you're w/her in heaven.Thank GOD!!Please don't ever forget you're loved and missed,and you'll always be with us Dad.No amount of time nor space can diminish the way we feel for each of you.Will always love you all!!!!

        Your Loving Second Daughter,

Dear Aunt Gladys,
I feel that these messages are the hardest thing to write.  Many things should of been said while you were alive to hear and cherish them, but that is not what happens. But, I can say to you, rest in peace, and now you are with Uncle Walter, and my mother Dolores and father Walter, watch over us and my cousins.
love your niece
Debbie

Mother,
  Kenny put another message to you yesterday on your 86th birthday since his from early Dec. never posted. Gail was to check into this,as was Sue when Cheryl and I spoke w/them at your funeral Dec.7,2012.I placed a special thank you message also on your birthday thanking those who took time to help in your care.Those who visited you @ Cheryl's,or in the hospital whenever you'd be in. Also to those who called,made or brought you special foods that you liked so much.Those who played games and cards w/you and all of us who made you laugh and smile.We hope these messages appear soon so we won't need to rewrite them again.

  Thought we'd write this so if they do,and we have rewritten again,people don't think we forgot we wrote,and wrote again basically the same thing.We're of sound mind and haven't lost it like some in this family.We'll wish you a "HAPPY 86 th BIRTHDAY MOTHER like we did on your actual birthday. We're so happy you spent it w/DAD,other relatives and your friends.You probably had a blast making up all those years apart.Heaven's been "a rockin " since you arrived to stir things up!! Celebrated with cake and 3Musketeer bars,along w/beverages we're sure,just as we did who got together to honor you.Didn't visit your and dad's graves since they're covered w/snow,and would be hard to find.Looked at the photos we've displayed for years,and spoke to you both.

  Hope we'll see our messages soon so we don't need to write them over.Continue to enjoy eternal life in heaven,and give our love to everyone from me and my family Mother.Please tell them we love and miss them dearly.Thank You.NO ONE and NOTHING can change how we feel about you,and how you truly felt about us and the siblings who've wanted the best for you,and did the most for you.We who did,put you and your health first.We didn't let others prevent any of us from spending time w/you and having fun times that we now hold dear.You told each of us how you felt,and I'll cherish all the times you told me "I LOVE YOU" when I'd leave after visiting at Cheryl's,or at your last two homes prior.I LOVE YOU also Mother,and so does my family who send theirs.

   Your Daughter ,
          Cindy

Gladys it's been so hard for me to get to the point to write something in this book for you! I miss you just as much as your family does.I will always remember the smile I would put on your face when I would bring you things you liked alot.I care for you like you were my own mother! I was so glad when you moved in with Cheryl,because I knew you would have better care & alot more to look out the kitchen window at then just another trailer. You loved looking at the birds & lots of other animals that would play around in the front yard.You would always let someone know when the mail man came, or if someone pulled in the driveway!I noice everyone who came to see you,really enjoyed being here. I heard you tell people how "Happy " you were living with your daughter,Cheryl!I know Cheryl really liked careing for you as much as she had did for two other family memmbers before you I was told about.When we watch something on tv that we all would,we think of you to.The same thing goes when we eat either out or if I cook something in,you are in my mind.I am also glad you got to meet my own mother when she was in town. She said she was glad she got to meet you also!  I will always have good times to remember you by & to see a mother & her daughter so very close. Now you can rest in peace & I hope to see you anoher time....! Love,Ryan Hall

Dear Mother,
   
        One week ago today,we had your funeral. We miss you so much, and it comforts me to believe you're reunited with dad in heaven. Your soul is free, and your body was laid to rest as you wished, with a burial. We chose a pretty blue casket and tried our best to fulfill your wishes. You and dad are always with me, as are all whom I love and miss in heaven. My love to you all!!

 I'm happy I was at your bedside when you quietly slipped away to journey to heaven. I kissed your forehead many times those last few days, holding your hands and whispering words of love.You had those whom love you at your side as you journeyed to your new life. They too will miss you, as well as those whom couldn't see you before you passed. We pray your body's at peace, and your soul is soaring high in heaven.

We're sad we won't share Christmas this year, but believe you will with dad. You'll also share his birthday with him, also on Christmas.Have a joyous holiday you two and a early Happy Birthday to you both. I'll carry you with me each day as I've done with dad and many others I love. You're always near and it comforts me mother.

I'll cherish all the "I LOVE YOU'S" you'd said to me and the visits and calls we shared. They all are more special now, and mean more than you'll know. Thank You for giving me life so I could  give life to my two son's, Gary Jr. and Brian. They blessed me with grandchildren and now I'm "Mom" and "Nana". These are two of the sweetest words to hear, and I'm truly blessed. I LOVE them all so much and enjoy my times with them, and with Hope and Betsy, 

Your grandson's and their families love you also, and will miss you. They've written in your memory book, expressing their love and feelings for you, their Grandmother. I'm sad you weren't able to spend the time we all wanted for you with them, due to various circumstances out of our control. Please remember they love you, as Kenny and I  do. We're grateful you're "FREE AT LAST" and can enjoy the life you should've had here on earth.

I'll say "See ya someday, somewhere over the rainbow, way up high. That place is called Heaven where if you're lucky, GOD takes your soul to enjoy everlasting life. I LOVE YOU MOTHER!!!! You've been through so much, and have earned your everlasting life in God's heaven amongst your love ones and friends whom passed before you. Give our love to them all please, and we'll be together again in heaven.


                    Your Daughter,

             Cindy {aka Cindy Indian as you've called me in childhood} xoxoxoxoxoxo
