Continued...
Hopefully you're smiling down, guiding and guarding us still here on Earth as we try to figure out the point and our purpose of it all. Please give the family that's with you all my love. And take comfort in knowing that we are sealed together as a family. 

I’ve been told I’m like you in a lot of ways, and I take that as the best complement of all times. I’d tell you a million more things but I’d trade it all for one more hug. 

70 years on Earth. 4 years gone. Everyday missing you! 😭💔💐🪻🌹🌻🌸🏵️🌼🌈

P.S. 
Dad and I will be stopping by your resting place a little later today and bringing you some more beautiful flowers. 

Love always,
Your baby girl.

Continued...
Some days I smile at your memory or a Lionel Richie song. Somedays I drive to the cemetery and have a good cry which I’m sure you’re aware of. Somedays I feel your presence and sense that you’re not gone, just in another room - but not a day passes that I don’t miss you.

There are a million poems I could quote to let you know how much you are missed but I know you always liked when I wrote my own stories so I’ll tell you a few things since you’ve been gone. 
------------------💜🩷------------------💜🩷------

When I was in high School and going through my first heartache, you mentioned to me that sometimes writing out my feelings can help. So, I started writing poetry. I recall writing one depressing poem about how I wanted to just run away from it all... To my surprise a few days later upon opening my poem book I found a poem you had written me in response to that one. You wrote about how you and I should just run away together, how I was never alone, how much you and God loved me. You always knew exactly what to say mama. I’m grateful for your support and encouragement to write when I was young. I wish you were here today and could write me another loving poem…

I would tell you that you're going to be a great grandma yet again (it's a boy until have Dad's middle name). I show my granddaughter (your great-granddaughter who has your middle name) pictures of you and tell her all about you. She can say your name and loves to look at your pictures. Oaklynn is growing so fast I can’t keep up. She is just the sweetest, sassy and curious. 
You would love these kids an insane amount and hug them endlessly (Nova and Oaklynn). No one hugs them like you would. I hate that you missed out on seeing these babies, they are my pride and joy. 
We talk about you often, say thank you when we see rainbows and butterflies, and bring you purple flowers because I know that's your favorite color.

It’s been 4 years since my mom passed away. I was 42 years old and just finishing my master's degree. Some days it feels like a lifetime has gone by and other times it feels like just yesterday. I’m not always great about talking about my own feelings, but I felt the need to process and share, so I wrote her a little letter. Here’s to you Mama, on your 4th anniversary in Heaven. I love you endlessly. 

Dear Mom,

Today marks four years since you’ve been gone. I really can’t wrap my head around how long it’s been without you. I did the math and that’s 1, 461 days of missing you. Not one single day has passed that I haven’t thought of you. People say that it gets easier with time, and I would agree that the ache becomes less intense, although it hurts differently during different stages of your life and I wasn't prepared for that. 

I miss your smile the most.

I miss the smell of your perfume when you were going out. You had quite the collection. You loved smelling nice.

I miss how easy you were to talk to. 

I miss how you were the Matriarch of holidays and the glue to the family.

I miss cuddling and watching 80's and 90’s comedies on a Friday night. 

I miss your jewelry you wore and Avon samples galore. 

I miss all the years that I never got to have.

The ache of losing you is immeasurable. You will never know how many lives have been  incomplete since you’ve left. I can only hope to leave such a mark on this world when it’s my time to go and I pray that you were aware of your importance when you were here. There is something about losing a mother that changes the blueprint of your soul. There is a permanent hole and I will never remember who I was before you left. I’m a  little broken, a little guarded, but I think I love deeper because of it. Or so I hope.

I was so very fortunate to have you as my mother. You are such a huge blessing..

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Indeed...
Until we meet again Mama. 🥺💔

I cherish all the memories I hold of you.

You definitely will not be forgotten as long as I am alive mama!

“In the garden of memory, you bloom forever, Mom.”

Missing you mom is a heartache that never fades! 💔😞

A million kisses sent to Heaven and the longest hug ever! XOXO 😘

I know you loved Celine Dion mom....
Here's a song she sings dedicated to you. 💐🌹🌻🫶😞💔


"Mama, you gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
And mama, all you had to offer
Was a promise of a lifetime of love

Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mothers
Love for her child

And I know
A love so complete someday must leave
Must say goodbye
Oh

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mama, you gave love to me
Turned a young one, into a woman
And mama, all I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you lovin me

Cus I know
There is no other
Love like a mothers
Love for her child

And it hurts oh
But something so strong
Someday’ll be gone
Must say goodbye
Ooh-ah

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you give will always live

You’ll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you till forever comes

And when you need me
I’ll be there for you always
I’ll be there your whole life through
I’ll be there this I’ll promise you
Mama

I’ll be your leader through the darkest night
I’ll be the wings’ that guide your broken flight
I’ll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you till forever comes

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
Till we meet again, until then, goodbye"

My sweet Beautiful Grandma , I miss you so very much. Thinking of you always and wishing you were still here with us. ❤️💚❤️💚 hope you had a very Merry Christmas and have a happy new year as well .I Love you always and forever. -Boo- xo

Mommy, 
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Not looking forward to another New Year without you. I'm sure in Heaven you're having an amazing Christmas celebration. Holidays aren't the same without you mom. You're missed dearly. We all love you and wish you were here. We made your famous fruit salad. We'll come visit your resting place soon and bring beautiful Valentine's flowers. Huge long hug and a thousand kisses mama. Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎅❄⛄❤💚💐

Although I've taken over making your famous fruit salad and potato salad for the holidays...its just not the same! What I wouldn't give to eat a bowl of fruit salad or potato salad you made again. It just tasted better. Bet cause it was made with your love. Miss you this time of year badly mama. 
Love you for all eternity.

Today marks 3 years that you've been gone. I don't know how I've made it this long without you. It still hurts like it was yesterday.  So much has happened since you left us.....
Josh and I got married, Tyler got married and has 2 beautiful babies, Nick is engaged and has a darling son, Matty is now married and has a little girl Oaklynn and she has your middle name. Everyone is doing alright but we all miss you dearly. It's just not the same without you. You were the glue that held us all together. Dad and I are going to visit your resting place today and will bring you some pretty flowers too. Love and miss you mommy! Hugs.....😞💔💐🌹🌻🌸🌷🌼

Part 2~
 I do everything in hopes that you would be proud of me.

Thank you for everything you did for me as a parent. We might have not had the best of times, but you were my best friend. You taught me more about love and life than any textbook or professor ever could. You showered me with love and affection, and I wasn't always appreciative it at the time. But as I look back on the past, you gave me more love than some receive in a lifetime.

As much as I want to, I can't bring you back. Would I trade everything to have even a day to be with you? Of course. But life doesn't work that way. Life isn't always beautiful, but it does have a way in showing us what is important. It's sad that it takes death to reveal this. You truly don't know what you have until it is taken from you.

It is my mission to live each day to the fullest in honor of you because that is what you would want me to do. Yes, some days I want to stay in bed and grieve. Grieving is an ongoing process and it's different for everyone. When I look in the mirror, I see you there in the reflection. I hope I can be just as selfless, caring, compassionate, loving, and more, as you as I continue my life's journey.

Love you always.

In Loving Memory Of My One Of A Kind Mother.

Love always and forever,
Your baby girl. <3

Dearest Mom~
It's now been 2 years since you left us...I still think of you daily and no, it hasn't gotten any easier.  Dad, Kim and I went to visit you at your resting place  and brought you some more beautiful flowers. We all miss you terribly. 
 I can't begin to fathom how long it has been since I last saw or spoke to you and how long I have made it without you here.  All I know is that I hate it. Nothing feels right anymore.
The day when you were taken from me so suddenly was a day in which I knew I was forever changed. Grief and sadness took over my entire being for so long — I didn't think those were feelings I could shake off. Feeling like I wanted to just sleep for days or crawl under a rock or hide in a cave...I didn't want to come to terms with reality. To this day, this is something I still struggle with. 
Mom...I hold you in my heart always, and try to keep your spirit alive in every way possible, especially through the tattoo I have to commemorate you. 
I miss you more than words and feelings can describe and express. I always am faced with the question of "Why?" "Why me?" "Why you?" 'Why' was and is a word that I can't help but wonder about. I had so many questions and zero answers. But some questions are best left unanswered, right? I know you have achieved overall happiness now that you are in heaven, but I can't help but be selfish and want you here with me.

There will always be a part of me that wishes there was something I could've done to help. I know there was nothing, but I will forever feel a sense of regret for not doing whatever I had the power of doing in order to make you better. There is so much you have missed and will miss, such as your soon to be great granddaughter...that's right mom, I'm gonna be a grandma! Oaklynn Ann (named after your middle name). 
I wish you were here for my accomplishments because you always were excited about the littlest things. You were the biggest supporter of my decisions and my dreams. 


Grandma, I just wanna let you know that im thinking of you. I love and miss you dearly.

Mom~
Here I am, having to roll into yet another year without you. Each year doesn't get easier, if anything it gets harder because it's just another reminder of how long you've been gone.  I know you're listening and watching from above...there's nothing I valued more than your love.  No matter where I am or what I'm doing in life, I know it's you that raised me to be able to get through it all. I know your life wasn't always easy, you yourself lost your parents at such a young age. I'm so very sorry you had to go through that mom. It had to be so hard. You are the strongest woman I know and you rarely let on...you just always pushed forward and made a way. I truly do admire your strength. I don't know how you did it. I'm sorry for all the added stress I gave you growing up. 

So, in 2021 I gratuated with my masters in marriage and family therapy (I started school so I could make more money to help care for you and dad as you aged. As well as to help Matt if he needed.) I got hired full time at Cedar Hills Hospital as a therapist. I haven't done much else besides work a lot and spend time with the family when I can. Haven't been on any real vacations. Only to the beach a few times. Josh and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We're looking to buy a house finally also. 
You became a great grandma a couple more times too mom. =)
Nick had a son Zayne and Tyler just had his second baby and it's a girl!!!! Olivia is her name. =)
There have been so many changes and it all feels so strange. I feel like the past couple years have aged me so much! 
One thing is for certain though....I miss you so much!
I do pray that your beautiful soul is resting in peace. I pray also you're with God and all your loved ones who have gone before you. 
I love you mommy.
Always and forever,
Your baby girl "Laura Jaynie Digaditch" as you'd call me.

My beautiful sweet grandmother, you really dont know how much you are missed😭 I think about you all the time, life just isnt the same without you in it. Your always in my thoughts. RIP . 

Thinking of you, as I often do. Remembering you for all the times you picked me up when I was down. For all those times you gave me a smile when all I wanted to do was frown. For all those times you brushed my hair and tucked me into bed at night. For all those times you needed something for yourself but you put me first! For all those dreams we shared, the tears and laughter too...I love you with all my heart mom because there's no one in this world that was or ever will be quite like you (perfect to me). 
Mom, my heart is full of memories and pride when I speak your name...life keeps going on but it's just not the same. I miss you so much.  I love you my sweet and beautiful mama. See you in my dreams and will continue to look for the signs you give me......they don't go unnoticed. Big hug!
~ Your baby girl

My loving grandma! Always available to help anyone in need, you are missed more than you can imagine. I’m so lucky that you were my grandma.  Love, Chris 

Mom/wife/Barbie~
Dad says he loves you very much and misses you too. He hopes you're celebrating your day in Heaven. Dad and I hope you like your flowers. I donated to ASCPA for you in your honor (I know you loved their cause and animals too)....
I hope all your pets from your life are now with you too. 
Happy birthday again from dad and I. 
Dad and I love you dearly! 💞💌👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👼😚

Mommy~
Happy Heavenly birthday mom. It's the second birthday spent without you. You'd be 72 years young today and you know I'd be spoiling you rotten. You've been gone just over a year now and it still feels so surreal. It still hasn't gotten any easier either. I still miss you just as much as I missed you the moment you took your last breath. I still think of you constantly and wish I could just pick up the phone and call you. You gave me life and it kills me that your no longer here to celebrate yours. I know all our loved ones who passed before you are giving you a lovely birthday...
Dad and I went to visit you at your resting place (I hope you like the flowers) and we went to see your sister too. I know you two always spent your birthdays together. We sure missed your presence.
I love you so much my beautiful mommy. 
Happy birthday worlds best mom. 🎂 🍨 🎈 🎁 🎊 👑💎💐🌷🌻🌹🌼🌺🌸🦋🌈🌟 #forever70, #happyheavenlybirthdaymommy,

I met Barbara at the empty nesters family home evening which was last held at Connie Beckers home.She was a sweetheart and very welcoming when I first joined the group.I took her home from the meeting a number of times and enjoyed the conversations we had.The last Christmas she was here she gave me a beautiful necklace at the Christmas gift exchange we had in the Relief Society Christmas Party.She just lived down the road from me on Bluff Rd.Always think of her when I pass the trailer court.She is missed but now safe with The Savior.



I miss and love you so so much Mama you're my heart mama I wish you were here with us there's not a day that goes by I don't think of you and wish you were here I miss your smiles in your hugs I miss you always your daughter Kim

Hi Mama just wanted to tell you I love you and I miss you horribly there's not a day that goes by I don't think of you I wish you were here with us every day I miss your smiles and your hugs and you tell me that you love me and miss me I miss Mother's Day with you and Christmas and birthdays I love you so so much Mama and I can't stand that you're gone Fly High sweet angel fly highq

My sweet and beautiful mama,
Not a day has passed since you've been gone that I haven't thought about and missed you. My life has not been the same since you left us. I have so many thoughts, questions, and things that just don't make sense now. Since you left, I feel like a scared child. With you here I had nothing to fear because my mom was my protector, you gave me life, nurtured and cared for me. You had all the answers mom, you always knew what to do and now I feel lost without you. The family isn't the same, how I long for days past mama. Things were so wonderful years ago when we all still gathered for the holidays and birthdays..now we all are seperated and time passes by. The best days of my life are now gone and one of the most precious to me gone...it's hard to carry on but I stay strong for dad and Matt. We all miss you so much. You'd be so proud that dad and I are going to Church, we both have been baptised and will be sealed to you soon. I promise to be baptised for as many of your family members as I can! We will all be together again forever I guarantee! You left such big shoes to fill mom but I am trying hard. I keep in contact with Jennifer, I know she misses you (as well as all your Church friends do), I also found Sandy! You would be tickled pink I know to have ben able to reconnect with her, I'm sorry I couldn't find her sooner but God I know had other plans. Oh mom..there's so much I want to say. My heart aches for you, and what I wouldn't do for a huge hug from you. It's been almost 9 months since you left us...it's hard to believe. Seems like forever you've been gon but also seems like yesterday you were here and we were having lunch, getting our nails done and doing some retail therapy. I miss our time together more than you could ever know. I sure hope you know how much you meant to me. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you I love you enough and I'm sorry I was such a terror of a teenager. Please forgive all my shortcomings..I love you! -your baby
