Mom it has been two days and I still can’t believe you are gone. We have gotten so close these last years and there will definitely be a void in my life. I am glad you are no longer in pain, the last couple of years have been pretty rough on you. I love you and will miss you until we meet again. Please give Bill a big hug and send him my love
Blessing to the family that God will walk by your side during these difficult times. Your loved one maybe gone but will not be forgotten.
I didn’t know you but sure know your daughter Gail and she had to have gotten some of her stuff from her mom so I suppose I will get to meet you someday thank you sweet lady for your love for your family.
So sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, great grandmother and my friend of many years. She is out of pain and surrounded by love ones that were waiting to see her again. She will always be in our hearts and we have lots of great memories you will be greatly missed by all of us♥️
So sorry to all of her loved ones. She’s at peace now. She lead a good life..
Grandma Ginny it’s so hard to grasp that you’re not here with us anymore. From my very earliest memories you have always been such a big part of my life. Distance in the early years did not matter- I never thought of you as being far away. You always made sure that we got gifts- remember Dicky and Ginny? I couldn’t have been 4 years old and you sent us those stuffed animals for Valentine’s Day ???? We named them after you and Grandpa Rich and we had those stuffed animals for many years! You never forgot a birthday, holiday or special day. Visits to Michigan and Ohio will always be in my memory like it was yesterday. Then when you moved here to St. Louis I truly did have the blessing of spending lots of time with you. I feel so blessed that you were here to be so involved in Ciara’s life as well. She will always have memories of her greatest cheerleader and many others. Most blessed of all is that you were a big part ofJayden and Archer’s lives and they too will always have amazing memories of their beloved GG. You taught us so much! I will have a hole in my heart for the rest of my days but I know that one day I will see you again ????
Mom well it has been three weeks today since you passed and it still is so hard to believe you are gone. These years were rough on you, but you were McCafferty strong and like a cat with nine lives you kept coming back. I was your caretaker for most of the end years and it grew us closer. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. I know we will meet again and I am at peace that you are out of pain and reunited with so many loved ones. Until we meet again Mom…love you alway
Soon to be 4 months, the last 2 have been absolutely crazy. You would not believe it. We have a Pandemic and the whole country has virtually been on lockdown since mid March. Massive amounts of people have died from a virus know as CoronaVirus or Covid19.
We are just now being able to come out a bit, but must wear face masks. Its like a scifi movie.
The strangest part of all was people went crazy buying toilet paper, there was none to be had for quite some time. Hand sanitizers also.
I miss you so much mom, but am glad you did not have to go through this mess. It would have been extremely hard on you.
I draw comfort from the fact that you are reunited with your loved ones, and especially with Bill I know you will take care of each other until I see you again.
Love forever and always.
