This is so many years ago....Highland Park Jr. High. When life was fun and worry free - not that we didn't all have family issues or struggle with developing our personal identities, but it was fun. Michelle loved Billy Idol and being in school plays, dancing at end of summer dances in the parks. Life got tough and she was tougher. We lost touch, as you do. Rest in Peace
My dearest friend Lola. Since you left in 2018 one of your beloved friends Rory Davis has come to stand beside you and watch over your friends and loved ones. I miss you terribly and think about you everyday and our two pups Carlos and Harley have recently come to kick it with their mama. Until we meet again. My heart is heavy. You were one of a kind!!!
It's the day after you left this world and I'm reflecting on how many friends you touched and they loved you dearly. 1 special friend , Also a wonderful soul has recently joined you. Rory Davis left this world September 15 2023 to join you to watch over your friends and family. I miss you terribly. Carlitos and Harley have come to see you this year as well. Until we meet again my dearest Lola.
Here we all are again...it will always be a bittersweet Christmas for me...I will always love Mila.. I'm still shocked she's gone.. some of the best moments of my life were our marriage... God bless her and all of you
My dearest friend Mila I struggle more everyday since you've gone I know you would not want this but not knowing why how or what if haunts my days and nights the tears that flow because of the great loss are many. I'm so deeply saddened by the family that was left behind. they never even got a chance to know they're wonderful grandmother. I was fortunate enough to spend so many good days with you so many trials and tribulations. I so admired you, your beauty and duh wonderful Soul you were inside. I just remember the patience you showed and the anticipation of meeting your grandchildren and seeing your family once again and I can't even put into words how troubled I am that they never got the chance to know you. I know you're at peace but we only look for the peace that will probably never find that will never heal completely. the tragedy will only heal with time. I know there's a greater power to help guide us through it and accept it but everyday that goes by I miss you more. I feel your family and friends were robbed of having you in their life. you were truly an inspiration. You made this world a better place and memories of you will always hold a large place in my heart and in the hearts of your friends and family. I loved you dearly and wanted so many things for you. The part of my day I spent visiting with you is now spent pacing the floors in this disbelief. I can only draw comfort from knowing that you left in peace with your maker and your friends and family. I will always love and remember you until the day I leave this world and pray to be able to see you again.
As I’m writing this, I still struggle to find the words to say what I feel in my heart. My heart is heavy and since your death I’ve been through every emotion possible. It feels like a bad dream. I just can’t believe you’re gone, and it seems when you died, half of me died along with you. After all, we were “Chink and Chunk”, now what happens? I wish I could turn back the hands of time when life was less complicated.
I miss our phone calls, texts, messages, emails, letters, and yes, all the greeting cards with the damn confetti in it. I miss your laughter, your positivity, your ability to make others happy. You saw the best in everyone and everything. You were always so nurturing and loving and anyone who knew you were lucky to have you as their friend. You brightened all of our lives with your beauty and your smile, and although I feel cheated that you left this world so young, I am grateful for the short time we had together. We were going to celebrate being 50 together, and we were supposed to stay by each other’s side into our golden years, but now you’re gone and I want you to know that life without you is going to be so incredibly hard.
I pray you find peace in your new life and your soul is comforted knowing that the memories you shared will live forever in the people you left behind. Please watch over me and stay by my side when I get older like you said you would. Please continue to be my voice of reason and friend when I get angry, sad, or scared. Please don’t forget me, because I will never ever forget you. You will always be in my heart my cousin, my sister, my friend, MY ANGEL. I love you.
I'm so heartbroken and will miss my sweet friend everyday. We first met at Couture and had an immediate connection. I could share anything with her. We supported each other through life's triumphs and disappointments. Our friendship grew when we worked the Upland Market Night. We had so much fun. I always loved being with her and soaking up her positive energy. Now she will be a guardian angel to her grandbabies 💖
Mila lived, loved and prayed hard for those around her. Her life was Beauty and she was very good at it. Misunderstood by some but she always took the high road, strong humble and hard-working always tried to set the example and her bar was high .she tried to trust and usually regretted it. Her weights were heavy but she still moved forward even with a heavy smile. She asked for nothing but gave so much. She was organized and tidy, she always appreciate even the little things. you could light up her day with something as small as a kiss. Gentle and kind you could feel the love in her touch .she was no joke when it came to respect and not afraid to let you know. We had so much more friendship to live. She always put a lot of time and effort into the greeting cards she sent out to everyone full of confetti. Get the vacuum out! She wanted everyone to know that they mattered and they were being thought of. She was always very thoughtful and would give you the clothes off her back. I was so fortunate to be her friend for 10 years. She loved God and constantly want to study the Bible to understand what God has in-store for us all. Many evenings we just sat and just went through the book, and and like a curious child, listened and look up scriptures with amazement and when life got tough she prayed to God for relief and was able to draw strength from the words written Within. I already miss those discussions and talks and trips and her warm sense of humor. She was very loved by myself and all her friends. She loved her new job at the Mission Inn and was very proud to work with wonderful people. That came with it's own heartache , But she still held their head high and took the high road and marched on like nothing was going to break her stride. And as she broke the week down to me as to what happened the good and the Bad and the Ugly. I always told her you are one crazy Bad Azz woman, she would just look at me and smile and say you think so? Oh yeah you are! Not a day will go by her memory will pass through so many hearts. She loved her Lola. She said she was a wonderful mother she was raised in love she especially loved this passage in the Bible that John 5:28 it gave her hope to see her Lola again. She found a lot of comfort in the scriptures and always wanted to learn more. So goodbye for now. I hope to see you again soon. SM
