Happy Heavenly Birthday 🎉 Mom! Miss you and Dad daily 🩷🥺

Hope you and dad are having a blast for his birthday.  Miss you so much but am glad you’re free of that awful pain and dialysis ♥️.  Wish a stairway to heaven was real just to visit you again and sit up all night talking like we used to after dad passed.  Love you 😘 

Well Mom, somehow we got thru yesterday 😔. I haven’t been able to post all the pics on here until yesterday-I guess I wanted to pretend you were away at the hospital and would walk back through the front door, I’ve been so very torn.  So lost without my puzzle buddy, our all night chats, well just you not being here. But, I’m so relieved to know you’re with dad again and not here in such sadness missing him. So happy that you’re no longer suffering, no more dialysis and insulin, no aches and pains. I hope paradise in the sky with Dad is everything you hoped. I’ll be forever grateful for the funny conversation before you left us. “Hi! They let you visit me in Heaven?!?” You were you again, happy and smiling and excited-though it was a silly/sad conversation which most would find weird so I’ll keep it off here but that light in your eye when you came to for but 5 minutes-gives me some peace. Though watching you reach up, taking so much to do so due to the swelling, but you reached up towards heaven and called for Grandma/your mom, took your last breath and reunited with all those that went before you was one of the hardest things yet most peaceful things I’ve ever witnessed 🥹🥹🥹.  Give Dad a great big hug for me. Say hi to cousin David and cousin Clay, grandma, aunts/uncle Eugene, grandpa Milt and grandma Kay, and the far far far too many others we’ve lost over the years but especially the last five years. Know that you weren’t alone for a minute in that hospital-everyone came, Manny/Melitta-Edith and Pat, all of us Kids and grandchildren (even Oliver who needed to say bye to his favorite Grandma though he didn’t quite understand I’m sure, he begged to go - we only let him stay a short time of course but he loved you so), even those that were away and couldn’t come (Riley and Halle-I know I spelt that wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️) called via FaceTime. Robin, Logan and Jared, Aaron - Frank, Diane, Kayla-Jessica-and even David and Conner whom can’t enter hospitals-even they were there with Tonya and I. (Many others, I’m sorry if I didn’t list everyone, my brains tired). But of course-Your best friend in life/your most dedicated and strong supporter/your son who loved you more than words can convey/the one and only that was able to always get a response even that last day, you always knew when he was near, your baby boy and closest confidante -Bill.  Watch over him especially Mom.  I’ve never saw such a bond between a mom and son like the one you two had! 💕 but he needs you most. So watch over us all with dad but give him a little extra cause he needs your presence most. To the point of exhaustion we all were with you (and yes reunited all of us again, which made you so happy to hear/see).  Know how much you are and were loved and will remain with us thru memories and in our hearts forever until we meet again. Thank you for all you gave to us in life, I’ve never met a stronger woman in my life. So instead of goodbye I’ll say see you later someday!  I’ll be posting many pics later (forgive me those that get notifications for each picture-there’s a lot to come-here’s your warning to turn them off if needed lol).  We all love and miss you so very much. It’ll be later today once work is done for the day, but so very many I need to share.  I still can’t believe you’re gone but knowing you’re reunited with your high school sweetheart and the love of your life helps! No necking at the submarine races 🤣. So many memories but wish we’d all had many more years with you and dad. Go enjoy paradise now, hope your birthday yesterday was amazing and save a spot for all of us. One day we will all reunite but that hopefully will be just many years away so we have lots of stories to tell you when we arrive. You are loved by more than you think and will never be far from our thoughts.  I love you mom, Judi 💕🥹🥺💔

True Love. Now reunited in heaven. 💕 (memory isn’t strong these days but early 2000’s)

Sigh. It gets “normal” not easier….and by normal I mean you just get used to the heartache.

You loved him so…..he still talks of you today. 💕💕💕. (My grandson/Mom’s great grandson- Oliver Frank)

Tonya for Halloween in the best - Green and White! Love this pic of these two 💕💕Dates aren’t my strong suit but late 90’s /early 2000’s

Never wanted to let your hand go but so glad you’re pain and sadness free

Absolutely gorgeous 💕💕. You’d even love it mom even though you weren’t a tattoo fan, lol. Thank you Pat Nice-as always stunning work

Tonya’s ink (by Pat) for you mom. Stunning.

Bottom half of dad’s by Pat (photo doesn’t convey how stunning it is).

Terrible at taking pics of these-photos don’t do them justice. Dad’s tattoo by Pat (the first one by him that made my decision to never go elsewhere-again my photos do not do these justice) absolutely gorgeous

Yes my K Urban related/life related ink (also by Pat of course)

More of Pat’s amazing work. Matches Tonya’s-hers says and beyond

Thank you Pat, amazing artistry as always. Mom-I know you weren’t a fan of ink but look how gorgeous it turned out. Along with all the others he’s done (dad’s, Tonya/My matching one, Phoenix, and both of yours. Once Tonya found him I’ll go nowhere else, great artist and person! Amazing work.

Mom,

Seems like yesterday I held your hand as you took your last breath and went home to dad. Yet seems like 100 years ago too.  Happy Birthday 🎂 we miss and love you so much but I am glad your pain and sadness are gone now. I hope you and dad are having an amazing celebration up in paradise 💕🥹😔. Until we meet again…you both are always in my heart and on my mind. Love you, Judi and all

Bears made out of mom and dad’s clothes 🥹🥹.

Waited til your birthday, you and dad are reunited 💕. I hope he’s spoiling you and that it’s a great bday pain and dialysis free

Happy 1st/84th Heavenly Birthday. We miss and love you 🥺😔💕
