Hi Mom, I still miss you ever so much. Perhaps a bit more today than years gone by, I am sorry I never knew just how much you really did love me while you were here with us. I am grateful for a talk I had with Lenny in Texas. He told me how much you loved me and talked about me all the time and that you missed me when I was not with you. Those were music to my ears, and a hard pill to swallow. Why did I listen and believe otherwise? Nonetheless... I am so grateful that we spend our days with you... I miss those days... the kids miss you still so much. Not a holiday goes by where we are not talking about you. Not a week goes by that Mercede and I are not talking about you. I have a great opportunity coming up Mom... I wish you could be here for it. I know you would be very proud do me... Sally has been right by my side... I am very grateful I hope the others jump on board... I know you are watching down on each and every one of us. Your love runs deep in us all. I miss you daily... I love you, Mom. Give everyone a big kiss for us... I sit here .. not able to sleep... I am having a hard time ending my message to you... I pray Mom that my dreams come true. I pray the family comes together again. Mom, do you remember when we were at the superstore in Brandon... Oh man... that was sooooooo funny... Do you remember when I took you to the waterslides after Dad passed away? IKES!!! what was I thinking?!!! Or when Sally and I snuck out of the hotel room in New York? Snuck back in in the wee hours of the morning.. You asked us why we were still dressed?!!! but let us think we tricked you? lol Seeing the statue of LIberty with you is a moment I will always treasure... It was so moving. I love you and miss you .... I will write again very soon... xoxoxoxoxo - Posted by: Darlene Gerula (Daughter) on: Dec 14, 2022

Mom, You are missed daily. I think of all the times we spent together. shopping, paying bills, doctor appointments, playing cards, (good ol king in the corner) all the times you came to stay with the kids when I went away. The kids talk about those times all the time.. Mercede loved that you always let her stay home from school to play king in the corner with you .. They talk of your clean out the fridge home made soup, despite the fact I filled the freezer with fun foods from Costco.. Our weekly dinner at the Zellers restaurant because you LOVED their clubhouse sandwich. Our daily visits to visit you... Our road trips together.. oh man... did we have some fun... The shenanigans we got into. The pranks I played on you ... :) hehe... ( just so you know.. my kids get me back all the time... :) ) my prank calls to you ... I remember one time you and one going home.. Dad sitting at the table.. you telling him how we ran out of gas and you had to push the car!!! bahahahah I mean .. I was just keeping you in shape.. lol Our trip with Sally and Sylvie to New York City... that was so special.. our best memory ever... My Children have grown.. You would be so proud of each and everyone of them. They miss you so much... My babies have babies now.. I understand your love for my children so much clearer.. Mom, your baby went home to be with you. Please hold Denise tight for me.. give her a big kiss.. tell her I love her... Tell her I wish I could see her face one more time.. I wish I could hold her hand one more time... I love you both.. xoxoxo - Posted by: Darlene Labelle Gerula (Daughter) on: Sep 20, 2020
