Thinking of you a lot with your 99th birthday upon us. ❤️I love you and am constantly reminded of days with you in Mountain View. I always peruse the shoe aisles in Walmart. I’m happy for the memories.
A big event happened yesterday - we bought a ‘new’ car to replace the PT Cruiser. It served us well but the new used one has lots of modern car features and PT had none! Just thought you’d like to know that!

February 28

Happy Birthday, mom. Today would have been your 99th birthday. Helen died February 5 -- she was 99 1/2 years old. She had a very good life - and suffered only the last few weeks.

I love you and miss you.
Bonnie

Ten years! Such a long time - yet sometimes it seems but a brief moment ago and other times it seems a lifetime. My love for you grows with each day. It seems I constantly learn something new about myself -- and about you --
Thank you for all you did for me -- and all you were to me. I love you so much.

❤️❤️‍ Happy Birthday, mom! I love you and miss you!! You are in my thoughts every day.

Happy Birthday Mom! You’re in my heart❤️

Missing you so much right now! I love you. Nathan left this morning for Buffalo. A year ago Nathan and River were in Buffalo- to set up hospice for River. River died around 5:30 am on 2/10/2023. Nathan has been putting a life back together. We both could have used your love, your wisdom and your humor this past year (s). ❤️.

February 28, 2022

Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you! I miss you everyday! Nathan posted a photo of you with him when he was about 2 1/2 on his FB page today - for your birthday. He loves/d you so much! He often talks about the conversations you had shortly before you died when you asked him who he was seeing -- a he or a she -- and Nathan told you - they -- to which you replied -- I'll have to think about that a little! You loved him unconditionally and it made the world of difference to him and to me. I love you!

River died Thursday morning, February 10, 2022

Love you and miss you! Always will.

February 9, 2022

I cannot believe it's been 8 years. I love you. I miss you every day. I wish you were here to help Nathan right now. His partner, River, who you would have loved!! is going into hospice. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer mid September they had nothing but bumps on their road to treatment. Monday when they went for a 2nd round of the new chemo, the doctor told them that chemo was no longer an option. Nathan has been an unbelievable support and care giver and has shown so much courage in these difficult months. I ache for him and for River and don't know what to do or say.

Happy 96th birthday dear Mom. I love you and miss you.

February 28, 2021

Happy Birthday, mom! I love you and miss you! Bonnie

Of course I wish you were here - but I am thankful that you have missed the past year (actually the past 4 Trump years). It has been a struggle and we know it is not over yet despite the Biden win. You would like all the art work I'm doing with my pottery. wish I could share that with you! Cricket is a big cat now! She is fascinated with the dogs - Diego and Frida are still doing well and still act like puppies! So glad you got to meet them. You would be happy that Bonnie and I are close friends and support each other. I can't imagine what I would do without her in my life. Hope we get to visit soon. This year has cut us off from everyone. It is a challenge but we are still going and are happy for our house and studio which provides a safe haven for us. I think of you every day. There's always something that reminds me of you and the time we spent together while you were in Mountain View - and all my trips to Hot Springs before that. Much love and happy memories.

February 9, 2021

I can't believe it's been 7 years. I love you and miss you so much! What a year it has been! We were in the Yucatan a year ago -- then made 2 trips to Missouri to see Harlin -- he was very sick with lung cancer -- and then we made the trip for his funeral - he died March 11, 2020. We had to return home early (and Nathan to New York, as well) - on March 17, 2020 - to make it home in time for the lock down for COVID-19. and it continues...... Becki and David, Otho and I got our first vaccinations - so hopefully we'll be able to see each other again someday..... but there are still a lot of unknowns! I am glad you didn't have to experience this -- it would have been SO hard!!

February 9, 2020

I love you, mom! I think of you every day and though I often talk to you, I miss you talking back. I made it through the 3 major joint replacements 8/18 thru 5/19 and am hoping for a better year (physically). Our world is a real mess. You would be amazed, dismayed, sad and angry. Becki and I are still so very close and I couldn’t make it without her. Nathan is fine and still living in Brooklyn. Otho is doing well. Not retired but working less. We’re on vacation this week. ❤️

February 28, 2019

Happy birthday mom. I love you and miss you and remember all the good times we shared! I have a great new kitty - Cricket - you would love her!! Life goes on but it will never be the same. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

February 28, 2019

Happy Birthday, mom! I still miss you everyday. This has been a particularly rough month -- and I've felt your absence more acutely than usual. These are very dark, very strange times, and truthfully, I'm glad you didn't have to experience them. But because of that - and the surgery - I've been missing you SO much. I love you and always will.

February 9, 2019

I miss you SO much, mom. I love you!
i'm struggling a little right now, but time will surely help. I wish i could talk to you right now,
I love you

February 28, 2018

Happy Birthday, mom! I think of you daily and miss you so much! I do feel lucky that we had so many good times together! Becki is still my best friend -- thank you for making that possible. I love you!

February 28, 2018

Happy Birthday Mom. I miss you so much! I'm thankful for all the good times we shared together.

February 7, 2018

Hi, mom. I miss you so much right now! I know it's the time of year -- not only your birthday, but the time I spent with you in the hospital 4 years ago. I hope you knew how much I love(d) you when you were living. I hope I didn't cause you too much pain and sadness, and that in fact you had more joy from me than distress. I love you and miss you every day.

November 28, 2017

Missing you more today than usual! I just want to talk to you. I love you, mom.

February 28, 2017

Happy birthday, mom. I love you and miss you every day. So glad we had so many good times -- so many years together.

February 28, 2017

Happy Birthday Mom! Love you. Miss you everyday.

February 9, 2017

Hi mom, I can't believe it's been three years. Sometimes it feels like forever ago and sometimes it seems so recent. I miss you so often - I miss talking to you everyday - I miss seeing you and spending time with you -- I miss your laugh and your humor. I love you, mom.

February 9, 2017

Hi Mom. Thinking of you especially on this day - and everyday. You are always a part of my daily life - a trip to Walmart, lunch at Pizza Hut, the Court House lit up for Christmas, and so much more. I miss you. Wish we could spend the day shopping and eating! We did have a good time. And I'm grateful for all the times we shared. I love you.

February 1, 2017

Hi Mom, I miss you SO much! I was remembering 3 years ago today when I arrived in Mtn View to visit -- you were sitting in a chair in the hospital, your hair recently washed and dried, wearing a beautiful gown and robe. You looked radiant! I was so happy to see you looking so pretty and healthy. If you were here today you would be SO unhappy and so angry! You wouldn't recognize your country - it has been taken over by right wing fringe crazy people - and it is sad and scary. I miss you every day. I love you forever. bonnie

February 28, 2016

Thinking of you more than usual today, your 91st birthday. I love you and miss you every day. Your memory is so much a part of my daily life. So many things come up on a regular basis that I want to talk with you about. I love you, mom.

February 28, 2016

Happy birthday Mom! I miss you everyday but especially on days like this when we would be celebrating your 91st birthday. The Academy Awards are on tonight - wish we could celebrate with brownies and drinks! Love Love Love you.

October 14, 2015

The Thing Is
By Ellen Bass

The thing is
To love life
To love it even when you have no
Stomach for it, when everything you’ve held
Dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands
And your throat is filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you so heavily
It is like heat, tropical, moist
Thickening the air so it’s heavy like water
More fit for gills than lungs.
When grief weights you like your own flesh
Only more of it, an obesity of grief.
How long can a body withstand this, you think.
And yet you hold life like a face between your palms,
A plain face, with no charming smile
Or twinkle in her eye,
And you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

December 27, 2014

Well, mom. I made it through my first christmas without you. It was not a pleasant journey, but I made it to this side of christmas. I love you and miss you so much.

August 10, 2014

I cannot believe you have been gone 6 months. I still miss you every day. I love you, mom!

July 6, 2014

37 years ago on 7/7/77 Mom, Becki and I went to Lake Tahoe and had an amazing time! We had so much fun! and we always loved that we were there 7/7/77 through 7/11/77 --

I miss not being able to talk about it with you - as we did every year! I miss you every day.

June 16, 2014

I can no longer see you with my eyes,
touch you with my hands,
but I will feel you in my heart
FOREVER.

May 10, 2014

Remembering so many mother's days celebrated with laughter and joy. I miss mom every day, but some days hurt more than others.

February 28, 2014

Thinking of Mom especially on this day which would have been her 89th birthday, and remembering all the fun birthday celebrations we enjoyed over the years. The year after Mom moved to Mountain View we made a road trip to Hot Springs Village to visit her house there and on the way we spent the night at a motel in Morrilton to watch the Oscars. We had drinks and brownies!!

February 27, 2014

Becki and Bonnie,
It was a pleasure taking care of your mom in the hosptial. She is will be dearly missed. I will always remember her qwerky smile and sense of humor. She was such a joy to be around. You are in my prayers and thoughts. May you find peace in this hard time.

February 21, 2014

Bonnie and Becki.....the photos are wonderful and will always remind you of your Mom.
I am celebrating Lavern's long life because she left 2 wonderful daughters to continue her spirit and her life. When Andre and I lost our Moms in 2012, we knew that we would "carry on" without them, but never forgetting who they were and their influences on our lives. Our tears still come, but not as often. Our thoughts of our Moms will never fade and we think about them every day.
We hope that both of you will smile and think about your Mom the same way we think about ours....with much love and affection.
We are here for both of you.....
Much love,
Annis and Andre

Bonnie-What a loss this is for you and your sister. Be happy knowing that she lived a rich and full life full of her family's love. The photo "album" is great -- I feel like it's an insight into your mom! And, you look just like her…Fondest regards.

February 17, 2014

Dear Bonnie and Becki,
Sorry for you loss. The pictures of your mom and family over the years show love, laughter, and joy. Many good memories to fill your heart. My prayers are with you.

February 16, 2014

So sorry for your loss. Evie Evatt told us about it. We met Laverne and Ollie when we moved to HSV in 1998. The Evatts introduced us right away and we were all part of a circle of friends enjoying doing things together. Many Happy memories! Hal and Virginia Poston

February 16, 2014

Love you Mom. Remembering just a week ago.

February 14, 2014

Your mom is so lucky to have 2 wonderful daughters who cared for her and loved her so much. I know that you will miss her terribly, but just knowing that she is now in a more comfortable, happy and peaceful place will give you that peace of mind that you both need at the moment.

February 14, 2014

Becki & Bonnie,
My brother, Don Lewis, and I enjoyed the albumn of photos, especially those in the Jackson area. I remember you two and Sharon at Nell's. Don remembers playing there when you would visit. Laverne looks very happy in the photos. Accept our sincere sympathies. Stay in touch: Don Lewis, 12918 Hway C. Frohna, MO 63748

February 14, 2014

Hi, Becki & Bonnie.........I'm Glenda & David Gohn's daughter. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I just wanna let you know how very sorry I am for your loss. Laverne & Ollie, the Roths, the Creightons, & my parents spent alot of time together, over the years, & I just remember lots and lots of laughs!! I also have a very clear memory of when I lived in Winter Haven, FL, going to visit Laverne & Ollie in their beautiful home in Haines City. They were such a bubbly, fun couple! My parents are still going to Winter Haven, every Winter. Dad's turning 83, today (Valentine's Day), & Mom's 83. I spoke to both of them, today, & told them about Laverne & they were so very saddened to hear this. Please know our deepest thoughts & prayers are with you!

A dog named Maggie

February 7, 2018

Mom, I really wanted to get your opinion before I jumped -- but alas, I decided you would have loved her, too. January 12 - a Friday -- I adopted a 3 year old poodle/maltese mix dog -- all black -- abandoned and probably mistreated early in life -- but she was so cute (well, her face was). She was still kind of a matted, stinky mess - because she had been spayed and couldn't get wet. Four days after we brought her home I was able to get her groomed and she not only doesn't stink - but she's adorable! Cute as a button. She would love you - and you would really like her! I just know it. She'll never replace Apollo - but she is a sweet, smart, funny companion.

I love you, mom! and miss you every day.

I love you ,mom. I have been in a bit of a funk -- because Nathan's birthday came and went -- and you weren't there to celebrate with him. I can still see your face when you first met Nathan -- and your hands with his -- we have all been so very fortunate!! I love you -- I love that you loved me -- that you loved Nathan -- that you loved Otho -- that you loved Becki and David and that we all loved you!!.

I miss you every day and some days I miss you even more!!

Your littlest (although not any more) daughter!1

I love you,mom!

Bonnie
