Gayle, Gaylee, Daffy Duck, serendipity, baby sister!
These are nicknames and terms of endearment our family call Gayle the youngest sibling .
How I miss and will continue to miss her.
It was never too late at night or in the middle of the night to text her, she was almost always ready for conversation. We both were awake some in the middle of the night we saw it as a great opportunity to text back-and-forth. We loved the same TV shows all repeats of course didn’t matter to us. We shared recipes, window shopped online together and especially shared pictures of what we each were having for dinner. We shared funny stories about our past all of this seemed to close the Geographic distance between us.
I’m so thankful for those long hours together.
I selfishly want more time but I am so grateful for what we had.
I, like so many others are left with many great memories.
Death leaves a heartache no person can heal,
Love leaves a memory no person can steal.
Thank you my feisty silly sweet baby sister for the prints you made on my Heart ♥️ They will remain forever. I love and miss you your sister, as you would say…. Pammy!😘
My Mom, my memories I will cherish till the end of time.. I remember being a kid and going to Walmart late at night and then we would go Lyons for milkshakes and fries.. My mom was all about her kids, we meant the world to her.. she was stretched thin with 4 of us all playing soccer, different fields , times. But she always managed to be there rooting for us! When I broke my leg the second time and I couldn’t play, I would sit there with her my ponytail in her hands and she would get excited cause my brother had the ball and she would yank and tug and I’m like ouch!! Or the time it started pouring down rain and she was trying to get me to the van and some stranger just swooped me up and put me in the van, I’ll never forget the look on her face!! My mom was a strong woman… Losing Kyle was rough for her, I watched her stay strong through all of the doctors and all of the hospital stays!!! After losing Kyle it was rough but she still helped me raise a beautiful baby girl! I am forever thankful god blessed me with such a beautiful, loving Mother.. I Will miss you mom but I find peace knowing you are finally with Kyle and dad!! Watch down on me mom, watch down on us all!! When I look at the sky at night just know I see you, thank your sister Mary for that ! I love you mom, too the moon and back!
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your mom had such a big heart. I will always remember how she was such a good friend to me from the first day we met as roommates in the hospital when she gave birth to Kyle. I'm sure she is with him now and your dad. She will be forever missed.
Gayle, my grandma, was the best grandma in the entire world, i’m gonna miss spending the night at her house watching dark shadows and eating snacks all night long. i remember when we would go shopping and i would point something out then the next day i would get out of school and she would pop her trunk on her purple malibu and there would be a giant jcpenny bag with all the stuff i pointed out! she loveddd to spoil me, she was always there right by my side too. i’m gonna miss my birthday calls, my card that always had notes in them. i’m gonna miss her, and it hurts to be writing this but i’m gonna make her proud and i know she will be my angel guiding me because if she taught me anything it was always that i had guardian angels walking with me everyday. i love you grandma, give grandpa big hugs for me up there and don’t ever forget the memories we have made because one day i’ll be with you and we can laugh about everything. to the moon and back🤍
Gayle my little baby sister who grew up and became a beautiful young girl . I was so proud of her when she walked to get her diploma, then she became the Mother of 5. I was proud again how she loved and cared for her kids . Then I was on the phone with Gayle when Sergio called her to tell her that the doctor thinks they know what was wrong with her youngest son Kyle. Kyle had cancer, I was proud of how strong she was for Kyle , and she had to leave 4 teenagers at home while she’d be weeks at hospital. Then I was on the phone the morning Joseph found Sergio had passed away, I was proud of her again at the strength she had. Now she is gone , but never forgotten and loved with a never ending love . And yes I’m still proud of my baby- adult to my sister in heaven. Mary Sister of Gayle
