Thank you

Thank you for always being there for me, a shoulder to lean or cry on when I was frustrated, a source of comic relief when we were both exhausted and for always making me feel special to you because I was born on your birthday. I will miss reminiscing over the long hours spent tackling the backyard, fixing toilets, and painting the hallway or sitting at the table discussing world events we watched on television with Howard while you made us breakfast. You were a great Aunt and friend to me and I really learned a lot about compassion and giving from you. I hate that we won't get to share anymore birthdays together but I'll make sure to have an extra candle on my cake every year to remember all the years that we were able to. Love and miss you lots.

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.
