Happy Birthday
Hello Mom,
Sorry I am a bit late for your Birthday. I have had a lot on my mind these days and really wish that you were here to guide me & give me some advice, be my rock or just be able to listen.
I am 58 now and have come a long way and now find myself at a difficult place in life. I keep thinking, what would Mom say. I hope I have lived a life that you would be proud of and after reflecting, I am not so sure that you would approve. I am working on some major changes’ and hope that things move forward in a positive healthy way for myself and Sasha.
I have make some mistakes, some due to the Surman Jeans and mostly of my own stupidity. I have a plan in motion and hope to see it through successfully so I can live a bit longer in a happy, healthy relationship longer than you, Dad and Stan.
I hope to come by for a visit after the first of the year.
I feel you in my thoughts, heart and soul to help me get through this difficult time.
I watched your B-Day video tonight and as usual it made remember, smile and cry. I wish you were here, I love you & miss you every day.
Thank you for always being there for me.
I love you Stephen XOXOStephen

Missing you
I think of you so often, but just happened upon these entries, mostly from Machey. I never think to post them on here. Life with me is good …. I’d say more changes than you know, but you most likely do know 😉 Things are a bit harder lately, but I expected that. Unfortunately, Barry’s anger and in this case, hurt is getting in the way of a final settlement and he’s also not making some great parenting choices. I’m doing my best to gently introduce being mindful, but not having much luck. So, In lieu of that, I’m making some tangible choices for myself … goal setting, timetables and letting go of what I cannot control … a saying that first came from Poppa Sam and now Andrew lives by it. It’s a little ironic, I’m writing this to just past my 60th birthday …. the initial reason I came on was to watch “The Joyce Lewis Story”. I’d much rather have you tell it to me. Love you!!

12th Anniversary of mom's passing.
Thinking of you especially today, Mom, and celebrating your buoyant spirit. Your love and cheerful nature live on, alive and well in all of us here who miss and hold you in our hearts. You did good, Joycee. You are loved, missed, and thought of often. As always, today is a day for reflection and some tears but we will celebrate you, your life, and remember the joy you taught us to embrace. I Love you dearly, Sandy

Spring Is here
Mom,You have always been a guiding spirit for me. This time of year makes me sad as I seem to miss you a bit more than the rest of the year. In the spirit of what you taught me and gave me direction, I then look at this time of year in a Spring Fashion as it is time to Grow, Prosper and go to work. The Family is doing well, all healthy and mostly happy.
I miss you with all my HEART and treasure our time together forever.

Hello again
Mom,It has been an interesting year, we have grown, celebrated, lost and once again appreciate the life we are blessed to live every day.
I still listen for your advice and direction and always know you are with me. I am sorry I did not stop by this year and will make it up to you with a trip from Pinks for lunch.
Sasha made another Moey Hit MandlevBradt this year. Even some GF for Inge.
The kid are growing into fine young adults and you would be very proud.
I miss you and think of you often. I love you MOm.
Be well and thank you for looking over us.Steve

Mom,sorry for being a day late this year, some how life gets in the way and we all get caught up in the DRAMA. I have been thinking about you a lot lately and plan on coming out to see you soon. This year for Mothers Day we we went to visit with Sylvia and spend some quality time. She has been very special to me and does a good job of being there for me when you can’t.
This has been a big year of change for me and I understand the importance even more now that you were trying to get accross to me about taking care of myself. I have been working on a new lifestyle choice and so far so good. Everyone is doing fine, Auggie & emily are growing into fine young women, Andrew is doing well and has gone from Boy to Man Child and almost about to become Adult as soon as he completes the next part of his Journey. The Girls and Barry are all healthy and fine.
Sasha is also doing well.
I have been traveling a bit more for work this year and we are very blessed with a successful growing business.
I have a lot to be thankful for and would trade it all to have yoiu back again. I love you and miss you very much.

Another Year Again
Mom,I have always started this letter with, wow another year gone by. Now it’s 9 years and Dad has joined you. we are all blown away and miss you both so much. Usually at this time of year Cathy, Sandy and I Grieve together of how much we miss you and now Dad too. , but this year is a bit different in addition to our heart break and missing you we look back of all that you have taught us to make us the incredible loving human beings that we have always been and have grown into with your guidence when you were here and when reached out to us from beyond. Everyone is OK, we spent Mother’s Day and Edith’s 90th birthday together in no other than Maggiano’s and half of the conversation was of her familit trials and tribulationd and the other was memories of all of us. In light of Dad’s passing we have been in contact with all of you old freinds and they understand and forgive hime and the few you had differences with forgive you and miss you both.

Another Year
Mom,I still can’t believe another year has gone by and I miss you more than I have ever before. Things are OK, Sasha & I are doing well Dad is hanging in there, I know his condition is progressing, but he still remembers all of us and odd enough as it is when his mind drifts his thoughts are of you. I hope you are the driving force to keep his mind functioning. I am pretty sure you have met up with Nancy by now as this has been her wish for quite some time now. Sasha, Cathy, Sandy and I have really enjoyed the time spent talking with Nancy in her extended time here. Take good care of her and ask her to take goo

Happy Birthday MOM!It’s been an interesting year, Sasha & I are doing well and know that your watching over us. I am sure you have heard by now that Nancy will be coming to see you soon, she can’t wait as she has been missing you oh so much. We hate to lose her, but it has been nice catching up with here over the last 6 months and hearing the stories of when you were growing up together. It’s a win win because I feel it comforts Nancy & I enjoy the stories and it gives me new memories of you give her a big hug from me when she gets there. There are going to be some changes in my career in the very near future and I feel you channeling through me to make the right decisions.

Mom,Another mothers day has past and today marks 4 years we have all missed having you within arms reach I miss you each and every day. I went to Mikey’s ball game the other day and sat on the bleachers to cheer him on and had fond memories like it was yesterday that you were there for me weather it was keeping score or rooting in the stands. I was in such a hurry to get where I was going and thought you would always be right beside me even though your not really here you are in my heart and my thoughts every day. I pray that God takes good care of you and if he does not I know tat he will have you to answer to. I will be by to visit you soon. ALL MY LOVE FOREVER & ALWAYS Stephen

Just Because
Hi MomIt is just aproaching the holidays 2006 and Sasha and I were watching The Wizard Of Oz it brought back so many wonderful yet sad memories I remember wathing with you as a child and how we enjoyed such a classic and it wasn’t until later in life that I got the message. I understand and appreciate my family and friends and miss you more than ever. I know your still with me evry day I miss you and love you hope you had a good birthday. My thoughts are with you and I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Love You!
Hi Mom -Just a quick note to say hi. Still can’t believe you’re not here. I miss you soooo much! There are still times I start to call you, but know I can’t. I haven’t been able to bring myself to take your name off my caller ID. When Dad calls, it says Mom Home. Somehow, I find comfort in that. I hope you have hooked up with everyone you love. I have been told by my friend with “connections” that you are at peace with some of those you had issues with and are sending us the message of “don’t sweat the small stuff”. I take that to heart. You may be seeing Peely soon. Please take care of her. Emily said “I’m sad, but she’ll be with Grandma & Poppy.” I want to ask you to come back, but I know you can’t. But I do want you to visit me. Can you do that? Love you so much. Cathy
