Mama, I am really missing you tonight, I keep thinking it will get easier but it hasn't happened yet. I've picked up the phone to call you so many times...who am I going to call when I need to know what to substitute for oil or eggs or milk??? You were my Betty Crocker! You were my inspiration, my comforter, my encourager, my cheerleader, my best friend. You cared so much about other people, even in the hospital, you were worried about me and Jimmy not sleeping or if we had eaten anything. You would be so proud of Jimmy, he took such good care of you. I miss talking to you everyday...even if it was just about the weather. You were such a great Mother and words can't express how much I miss you and love you. I am what I am because of you! I only hope that you are as proud of us as we are of you. I love you!

I'll always remember you

I dont know how to say this, but I will miss you. You were a wonderful wife, Mother, and friend to me and our family. Our family will always remember our life together. I'm sorry that you had to suffer but I KNOW YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE. Tell Mom, Dad, Eddie, Jim, Trudy, Pattie, hello and that I love and miss them.

Mom, I will miss you

I still can't believe you are gone. I remember Thanksgiving, you were so happy and looked better than you have in a while. You were always worried about me coming to do your "honey do" list and I kept telling you that that's what I'm here for. I'm going to miss coming over and sitting with you and just talking about nothing. I know you are in a better place and now there is no suffering, and I know that you are watching over all of us left behind, but I still wish for some more time with you.

I LOVE YOU MOM -- SAVE ME A PLACE

I'm still trying to figure out how to do this so anyone can post a personal entry, but for now, just leave a comment and I will do my best to get them separately posted with your details attached. If you have pictures you want to add to the slide show, please email them to me at rememberingmarion@gmail.com.

Edit - I found where you can invite up to 100 people to be authors on this blog, so I invited everyone I had email addresses for. If you have someone you would like to add as an author, please email, again, at rememberingmarion@gmail.com.

Thanks.
