Hi Janet, I can't believe it's been 3 years since you've been gone. You were a great person, great mom, great grandma. 
I know Alicia, Linda and Family miss you so much. If you can Please watch over them and keep them in your Prayers. 
And if you also can Please keep my Family in your prayers. 
May God watch over you.

Good morning mom, I am going to close out your book today and print our memories to keep with us until we meet again. This was the way to talk with you when needed but i do that with your pictures and in my mind. So many things remind me of you and I still think I can call or go to your house sometimes when I need a question answered. Crystal is going to help me with the book like she did with Shermans. I love you with all my heart and will never forget your love to me and my family.   Alicia

I love you grandma. 
Im so sad every day that you are gone. But I am so thankful that I learned so much from you. And grandpa too. It breaks my heart you are both gone but knowing your together makes it easier. You sure knew how to play cards and win all the time! Im still trying to be as good as you.  When I sit down to roll my change coins I laugh the entire time because the size of my bucket is so small and I dont have the cool machine we used to use. 
I know you are watching over us all. I know you are helping us every day because I see signs of you every where. Sometimes i break down and cry thinking about you and sometimes I just laugh about the crazy times we had.
You taught us all so much and we are still learning from you. 
Tell grandpa sherm I said hello! And I hope you are with grandma and grandpa rycraft too! And grandpa bill!
 I wish I could hug you again! Love you so much!

Mom, remember we love you so much and we are not saying good-bye, we are saying "until we see you again".  You are always in our hearts.  Love you forever, Linda

Hi Mom, Just wanted to say hi and miss you everyday. I am going to tell family if they wish to write anymore in this book to do so now, because its time to close and print our memories of you. We will never forget all your love and help to all of us. You cared so much for your family and even some who were not blood and wished they could have been. Someday we will be together again to have some great times and parties with everyone we loved. You suffered for so long with pain and heart ache, but still made sure everyone was taken care of because that is the wonderful way you were to us. My heart has a hole for you so remember I LOVE You Always.   Alicia

Hi Mom, I sure do miss you, giving you hugs and kisses and yes the playing cards that you always cheated so you could win all my money. Today was a sad day, can't believe you are gone - but we will see each other again some day and there will just be laughing and singing (but I can't sing) but most of all, we will be together forever and no more hurt, no more pain and especially no more tears.  Remember to put your hand over your heart and know that you have a piece of mine.  I love you.  Linda.

Good evening mom hope you had a nice day. I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday today would be 93 for you and really wish you where here so I could kiss and hug you. There's this thing called Facebook that everyone writes things on but I just needed to put it on this page for you. Tell the rest of the clan up there we all said hi until we meet again. Love you and miss you so so very much. Love Alicia

Missing you like crazy grandma. Missing all the old times.

Well today was not a good day for me or Linda we said our last good byes to you 2 years ago. Then one year later on this day we last Franks dad, so February has some good days but some very bad days too. Crystals 41st birthday was today too. Just wanted to say hello not sure if we are going to keep this open much longer no one writes on here but Linda and I maybe others don't know ,we have one more month to decide. Well better go for now, love you always miss u too Alicia

Good morning Mom I didn't send you a birthday message but I did go to your grave to say it. Today is 2 years that you left us to be with other family and friends and to be out of pain, the most important thing. We all miss you very much and always talk about you and remember the love that you gave and we learned from. Little Eric is also 14 today and taller then me, He plays football and is going to high school at St. Pats. staring in August. Love Always Alicia

Good evening Mom its been a few months since I wrote to you. Today is Shermans 82nd birthday, give him a kiss for me. The holidays are over and nothing was the same here to many people not here, no big dinner and amount of presents get smaller, everyone has everything they need. I think of you all every day and so many things remind me of you. Went by the house and it was all lite up for Xmas, I think it is being taken care of good. Tell Sherm his dog buddy next door is gone. They have two new ones. Well needed to say hi and miss you so much. Have a candle burning by your pictures every day. Love always and miss you very much Alicia

Hi Mom, it has been a while since I sent a message, but I think of you every day and I hurt as bad nd the pain is still as bad as the day I said good-bye.  I laid in bed last night and cried just thinking about you and I feel a tear rolling down my cheek as I am typing this.  I still have your phone number on my phone and wish I could call you.  I miss you so very much.  Your love is always in my heart.  Alicia and I still do our TN trips, and still have fun, as I know you would want us to continue being together, at least once a year.  It is hard on both of us and I know that pain will never go away.  I know you are looking down on us and our families and taking care of us.  I love you forever, Linda

Hi Mom, Its been 5 months now since I talked to you this way but I think of you every day. Today is harder then usually because its three years ago when we had to say goodby to Sherman. You kept a lot in about that I think but we took care of things in our own ways. I had you for another 15 months and wish you could still be here. My days run together sometimes and I still go by your house that is easier then the grave yard. I have to go there soon to put some flowers for x-mas and to check on things. Well I love and miss you so much and remember you always. Love your baby girl Alicia.

Hi Mom, tears are falling down my cheeks.  I feel so alone without you.  I go to pick up the phone to call you, but then realize you aren't there.  It has been just over a year that you left us, but it seems like only yesterday.  I still hurt today as much as I did then and I can't let it go.  I pray to God that someday I will be able to wrap my arms around you again and every day after that.  I love you and think about you every day.  Your daughter, Linda.

Good evening hope you had a nice day. I went to see you and Sherman today just to make sure how your home together is doing the flowers are there and I will plant some for you as soon as this weather gets better. Happy Mothers Day to the best mom any one could have. I really miss you everyday just hope you are at piece and happy. Love you much Alicia

Today one year ago I said good bye to the most wonderful and caring mother in the world. You taught me so much about life and this world and hope I have sent this on in your grandchildren. There is not one day that I do not think of you or remember things that we did together for so many years. You are my angel forever please keep us safe like you did when we had you with us.    Love you always Alicia

Dear Grandma,
Sending you birthday prayers today and all my love.  We all miss you so very much.  I know you are happy and healthy up in Heaven and are watching over all of us.  Thinking of you and Grandpa everyday!

Love you very very much!
David

Well mom today would have been your 91st birthday wish so much that you were still here so I could say happy birthday and give you that hug and kiss. I think of you everyday and miss always love always Alicia

Hi Mom, I am sitting here tonight thinking about you and wish you were here to celebrate your 91st birthday.  I miss you so very much and I can't get it through my  mind that you are really gone.  I think about all the memories we have made thoughout the years and it is very hard to realize we didn't have more time with you.  I think about you liking to play cards and winning all my money, you fixing my porkchops, potatoes and sauerkraut when I would come and visit.  They say that time heals the pain and hurt that you have when you lose someone you love, but time hasn't healed any of that.  I will always love you and hope some day we will be together again.  Happy Birthday to the best mother in the world.  I love you - Linda

Dear Ga Ga   It has taken me almost a year to be able to write in this book and even now it's very hard.  I just want to say how much i love and miss you...love always pumpkin(Lisa)

Well mom its my turn now, just read Linda and Davids message. Christmas was very hard this year because you were not here but this past 3 years have been that way. You held us all together for so many years and you not being able to be with us on this day is so different. You cared and gave so much to your family and still do for me. I always think how would my mom do this when something comes up that I need a answer for. Love you and miss you very much give Sherm a kiss from all of us too.  Love always Alicia.

Hi Mom
tHIS WAS A SAD CHRISTMAS, AS IS EVERY DAY WITHOUT YOU. yOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS EVERY DAY AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.  lOVE, lINDA

Dear Grandma,

Merry Christmas!  I miss you more than words can say and love you so much!  I pray everyday that you and Grandpa have found peace.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Give Grandpa, Tinker, and Aunt Isabell my love!

Love, David

I am glad Alicia sent you a message and I know it is still a hard time for both of us. I think we keep our thoughts of you in our mind and private within both of us.  We had a good vacation and I know you all were with us.  You know how much we miss you and I know you can feel our love always.  The love will always be in our hearts for you.  Love you every day.

Hi Mom how are you and Sherman doing?  It has now been two years that we lost Sherm and eight months that I said good bye to you wishing you both were still here, but knowing you are together and no longer in the pain you suffered for so many years. I think of you everyday and miss our life together, Love always and forever Alicia

Hi Mom, it's me again.  I felt your presence today and needed to let you know I am doing okay.  I am trying my best to stay happy, but sometimes it is hard when I think that I won't be coming out to see you this summer.  I always loved staying with you and playing cards and eating your pork chops and sauerkraut and just sitting and talking.  I still have your number on my phone and sometimes stop and want to call you.  I love you so very much and rest in peace.  Your daughter, Linda.

Hi Mom, thought I would let you know that I am moving and I bought Joy's trailer, as she passed May 8 and you have probably seen each other by now.  Everything is ok and just can't get over you not being here.  I know that you want me to be happy, but it is hard without you to talk to and hear your voice.  I miss you every day and my heart beats a special beat for you and the love that is so strong.  I hope you are at peace and the pain is gone.  I love you more and more and please not worry about the family, we are doing the best we can, but so lonesome at times.  I will talk to you again.
Love, Linda

Dear Aunt Janet
Long time since I talked to you or saw you but I will always remember your great smile and wonderful laugh. You were and always will be one of my favorite relatives.  Rest in Peace  love Debbie Anderson McGinnis

Hi Mom, sitting here thinking about you and remembering all the good (and bad) times we have shared together.  I still have trouble realizing that you are really gone and won't do the things we used to do, but the memories will always be in my heart.  Mother's Day is coming up soon and I know I won't be able to talk to you on the phone, but I will talk to you in my heart.  You took a part of that heart with you when you went away, but hopefully some day, we can out all the broken pieces of our hearts back together again.  I hope you and grandma, papap and all your sisters and brother have joined together again and are watching out for all of us.  I am so lonesome without you and I hope somehow you can feel this message and all my love I am sending you.  I love you so much.
Your daughter, Linda

Hi Mom, time is going by and I still can't believe you are gone.  My pain has not gotten any less and my tears are still falling.  I think of all the good times we had and all the things we did together, going to yard sales and bingo years ago and out to dinner.  Spending time with Alicia and all the family at her house and grilling outside.  Just sitting around and talking and being together.  We will never have those good times again, but the memories will always be there.  Alicia and I will always be close and I know you love us both so much.  IWhen I lost you, I also lost my best friend.  I wish I could hear your voice again and the last words I heard from you were "I love you too".  I will always love you forever and ever.
Love, your daughter Linda

It has been a month today since we said goodbye to you.  It hurts as much today as it did then and I don't think the pain will ever go away.  I want to say thank you for what you have done for Alicia and I and hopefully it will help change our lives a little and we won't have to struggle so much.  I know you were watching out for us.  You will be in my heart always and I know you are watching over us always.  I love you. Linda

Sitting here trying to work, but having a hard time seeing because of the tears.  I miss you so much.  I just want to feel your arms around me again.  I love you.

Hi Mom, another day has gone by, missing you and loving you so much.  I know you are still here with us, because I can feel your love all around.  I wish I could just call you up and hear your voice again, but I know your beautiful voice is singing with God and his angels now.  The hurt and aching is still in my heart.  I miss you so much.  Love, Linda

Janet, you were a great person. Always smiling, always interested in others ailments or problems. I never heard you say one unkind word to anyone. Great inspiration to all. When we went to visit you in your bed, you never complained just asked how everyone was doing. You will be surely missed. 
May God Bless you
We Love you,
Carmen & Ben

Good morning Mom, In three days it will be one month since we said good bye. I am still a little lost and missing you a great deal. I am just happy that you are no longer in the pain that you had for so long. I miss you and love you very much. Please watch over all of us down here and keep everyone up there in check. You know who I am talking about.  Love Alicia

Hi Mom, I know you are listening to us and watching over all of the family.  I can feel your presence every day and my heart is still hurting, but knowing that you are without suffering anymore, brings me peace, but you will always have a piece of my heart with you and all my love.  I love you very much.  Your daughter, Linda

I miss you so much Grandma.  I love you. I still dont want to believe that your really not here with us anymore. Im still in shock. But im glad you are not in any pain anymore and you are finally resting peacefully. Xoxoxoxo

Mom, you have been the best mother anyone could ever have, but I am glad God gave you to Alicia and me.  I have loved you every minute of every day of my 68 years.  My eyes fill with tears and my heart aches for you and I miss you so much.  You are at peace now and not suffering any more.  I know that you are one of God's favorite angels.  I will carry you always in my heart and we will be together some day.  I know you will watch over all of your family and keep us safe.  We can all feel the love from you every day.  I love you.

As your Caregiver, i've never expected that i will last longer. But, as fate would have it, our teamwork prevails and survived the test of times. Our thoughts and prayers. Mar and family.

Thank you for being a loving Grandmother to my husband, David.  He talks about you all the time and the fun times you had and the lessons he learned.  I only wish I had more time to know you and for you to know our future children.

Thank you also for being a wonderful Mother to Linda.  She's an amazing mother herself and I know that is because of your guidance and love.

Please find the peace you've been searching for.  You will be missed and loved by many.

Kelsey

Grandma, I miss you more than words can say.  I will always have fond memories of growing up and my favorite times were coming to visit you and Grandpa.  We had fun playing cards, watching movies, having picnics, and just talking.  When I got older, I tried very hard to be there when you were sick even if I was hundreds of miles away.  Seeing you fight was amazing!  You taught me and my mom some very valuable lessons.  I will always remember and thank you for everything you did for us!

I love you very very much!  Please rest in Peace now; you deserve it.  You will be in my thoughts eternally.

All my love,
Your Grandson David

Grandma,
  You will missed and remembered for all the fun and loving things that we all did together. Playing cards, yard sales, Outback, Red Lobster dinners and selling raffle tickets. You are a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Love "Pistol" and family.

Just sending my love to you forever. I will miss you every day and remember all that you have taught me and my family. You were a wonderful caring mother and friend to me always.   Love you Alicia
