I miss you and I will be happy when I see you again, maybe sooner than expected. There is nothing left for me anywhere

Marianne was my sister but for the first 9 years, she was like a mother to me. I was the youngest, born 1941.
I remember I wanted to go swimming so bad and my other two sisters would skip away without me. So Marianne, who did not like swimming, put us on the bus to go part way and we walked the rest. I was so happy singing, holding her hand. When we go there, she got me ready and then sat in the bleachers to watch me. It was one of the most memorable days of my life. I loved Marianne so much I can't describe. I was too sick to make the 350 miles to her memorial but my heart has been with her all along. I hope she has been reunited with our sister Dorothy who left in 2017 and our brother Ben who left in 1999.
Marianne, I love you.

Dear Mom,You've certainly earned your eternal rest, you've fought the good fight. We know that "absent with the body, present with the Lord." I am at peace because I know you are. Rest in peace until I see you again.Love, Joy

Dear Mom,
It's hard to write a goodbye letter, when all I want to do is hold your hand now and say goodbye one last time. I know you are in a more peaceful place, singing with the angels, and painting your next masterpiece. Thank you for being there for me and loving me unconditionally despite all my many shortcomings in life. Your kindness may have left this world, but it will always be in our hearts.
Love, Robert
