Condolences & Memories (14 entries)

• Here we are again Mom, I still miss you like Hell. I still sometimes think I will just give you a call about something. My memories sustain me. We had so many good times together. No one can ever take that away. On Feb 17 you will be gone so long, but today is Valentines Day so I am saying a hello to you and and want you to know I will never forget you. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Feb 14, 2024

• Can you believe, I am still doing Yahtzee for us? Not that often, but I do from time to time. Miss you like crazy Mom. Think of you so much. Look up into the sky and talk to you. Dream about you often. Love you, M. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Oct 14, 2023

• It's 15 years tomorrow, since you have been gone. Where did the years go? Still miss you a bunch and think of you often. Maybe that's just the way it goes with parents and children. I am not sure. So very many times I have wanted to ask you if you remember this or that or to clarify something for me. Like with Grandma Bess: used to phone her and ask who was what in relation to movie stars and she ALWAYS knew. Of course, now we just look it up on the internet. Wonder what you would have thought about the internet but so sad you couldn't have used it. I do think, despite your "diminished capacity" you would have been able to get onto it. So very many great memories. Still doing our daily Yahtzees, and still say, when I am doing scratches, they they are for the both of us. Love always, M. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Feb 16, 2022

• Here we are at Thanksgiving! I still play daily for both of us on-line Yahtzee. Talk to you in my head! Sometimes we play together, sometimes against each other. And I mean every single day! What I wouldn't give just to have you back! Anyways, at Thanksgiving, and at Xmas, you would always make your own stuffing (Dad always loved your stuffing and would compliment you on it), you would make your own gravy, stuff the turkey and sew it up. Everything you did was from scratch. All the work that went into your day. Unreal. Then 15 minutes of eating and a huge clean-up with no dish-washer. Thank you, Mom, you did a Hell of a job. Miss you, M. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Oct 09, 2020

• Unlucky 13 you would say ! But that's how many years you have been gone. Wish we had them all back. Miss you like crazy. So many times I have wanted to call you. Just to say hello. Just to touch base. I hope my kids miss me like I miss you ! The sun is shining here today Mom. I am crying, like always. - Posted by: M (Daughter) on: Feb 17, 2020

• Mom: Here we are again, another year gone by. I am still doing yahtzee on-line for both of us, still talking to you in my head. I will never stop missing you and the fun we had together. So often wish that we had just a few more days. A few more days on the deck (my deck now), the cottage is gone, and shooting the breeze. Scratching tickets, laughing and joking. Miss it so much. Stay with me! - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Jan 05, 2020

• I am posting this early . Make sure I do it and thinking of you a lot today, just before Christmas. Missing you a lot. Thinking of how much you always did to make our holidays so good. Still play Yahtzee by myself on-line and try to think I am playing with you. Miss our Scrabble "tourneys" like crazy. We would go on for hours. Our scratch tickets and runs to Wimpy's and for foot longs. Simple pleasures. Sitting on the deck with a drink in hand and whispering to one another about everyone who walked by. Did we have any idea then that we were making memories to last a lifetime? - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Dec 18, 2019

• Hi again Mom: Feb. 17th is a day that makes me sad. Last year I was very sick, sicker than I have ever been and wasn't sure I would pull through, but here we are again. Looks like you will have to wait a little longer until we see each other again! Happy Valentine's Day today. Yes, still doing Yahtzee every day for you and for me. With the hint of spring in the air the odd time, my thoughts turn to you and I sitting out on the deck at the cottage, people watching, commenting. Such fun. Our multi trips to Wimpy's, the countless scratch tickets, always hoping for the "big one". I still do it, alone now, but always have you in my mind. You are always just over my shoulder. Love you, Marilyn - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Feb 14, 2019

• A month early. Just to say it is now 11 years since you went on your next journey. Afraid I will forget to write this or be sick myself. Always thinking of you and missing you. Maybe more so now that the years are going by and I am getting slower myself and thinking more of the past than the present. People say it is not healthy to live in the past, but I often do and I have so much pleasure in thinking of our crazy times together. We made fun out of such simple things. Mostly, didn't have the money but we made do. Until we meet again, Marilyn - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Jan 18, 2018

• Mom, it has been ten long years that you have been gone. I can't believe how the time has passed and how much I am still missing you. I play yahtzee on the internet now and pretend I am playing with you. I miss you so much and wish you were here to have a wee chat and a chuckle. You are always in my heart. Love, Marilyn - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Feb 15, 2017

• Mom, it has been 9 years now: can't believe it ! Miss you like it was just yesterday. Dream, dream, dream, of you often. What's up with that ? Still think many times that I must call you, then in the next second I tell myself you aren't there. I play Yahtzee on-line now, and think of you every time I log on there. Should be me and you but I tell myself that you are there. Would give a lot to be with you now, Love, M. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Apr 11, 2016

• Just missing you so much. Wish you were here for our Scrabble Games, Card Games, People Watching, Chats and Laughs. All the things we did that were simple pleasures but gave us so much enjoyment. I sit outside and think of you so often and think how we two would sit and watch people go by and laugh and joke. Miss you. M. - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Sep 12, 2014

• Mom: On the 17th of February, it will be seven years since you have passed. Hard to believe and I do think that it doesn't get easier with the years, but actually harder. Can't really believe how often I think of you and how many tears I have shed. I think of funny things from our shared past and I find myself laughing or at least smiling. We did have such fun! I remember the time you helped Chris and I move from one apt to another in the same block. You insisted on carrying Chris's boat that he had lovingly made for months (small scale boat). You let the doors close on the elevator and it got crushed and when Chris saw it , he was incredulous. Unbelievable !! We laughed later but at the time it was horrendous. All the times we drove around in his teeny sports car, even bringing home lumbar to make the bar in the basement. You driving and holding your arm out to the roof to hold onto the wood. We did laugh, and that's the main thing I remember: we LAUGHED !!! So many good times and such merriment. I would give so much to have you back now Mom. God ! I miss you! Love, Always, Marilyn - Posted by: Marilyn Pantermoller (Daughter) on: Feb 11, 2014

• I think of you so often. Christmas of course, but also summers when we would sit and chat in the sun on our chairs and watch people walk by. Our Scrabble games, doing Jig-Saw Puzzles, our walks to the many grocery stores, our scratch cards, the laughs we shared, the card games! Our "toasted tomatoes", and the feeling that you would always be there. So hard to believe, even after all these years, that you are gone. Miss you Mom. Love you.
