My dearest mother,
Oh Mum, I still miss you so so much and really need to talk to you at this special time.
It was dads anniversary on the 19th.April, 50 years since dad left. You spent so many years without him, you were such a brave and wonderful mother.
Your music still lives on with all my videos I took every time i heard you play the piano.
Your first Great grandson of mine Mum is getting married this Sat 24th April. Suzie Blues son William and his lovely bride Maraea. They are a beautiful couple mum and they were at your 100th and have lovely photos for memories.
I also have a beautiful great grandson Mum, your great great grandson little Theodore, called Teddy for short. He is James baby Suzie Blue's first grandchild.
I will put photos up for you to see later.
I am so lucky mum to have Anna, Anne and Janice to help me with all what has been going on with family etc.Plus of cause BJ and Robyn.
Peter is still in NZ and he has been so so busy with rebuilding a house for Lance..he has done such an amazing job, but has been away from his wife far to long. He has nearly finished. Leo and I actually helped him quite often when we were inNZ.

Mum, I hope you are looking down and read my mind at the moment at what I am trying to say, but i can't put the words down without getting upset.

If you see Peter, dad and my Aunties and Uncles, please give them my love and tell them, I miss them all so much.

Love you always Mum...your daughter Carmen xxx

Dearest mum,
This is my third message as not sure what has happened, but just disappears.
Well, Christmas has passed, New Year and now coming up to 12 months since you left us. Time doesn't stop when you loose someone you love, just like when my husband died. Hope you have caught up with Peter mum and told him how much we have all missed him. He died far to young and still needed here on earth.
It won't be long until we all meet at Ngaruawahia on your anniversary mum and to recognise our sister we never got to meet, well four of us never had the chance to meet her and now we can give her a family and a place in our hearts. I will send you photos of the headstones on the day and I am sure you will be proud of what we have done.
Mum you asked me to think of you sometimes, well mum I think of you every day and have found some days I just don't know how to live with out you.
You will always be loved and missed mum.
Until we meet again,
Your loving daughter
Carmen.
Leo sends you his love as well and if you catch up with the Janssen's, give them our love .
Hugs always and hopefully you have caught up with dad, Nana and Pop and all your brothers and sisters and neighbours and friends.

Mother this is the first Christmas we have had, since you passed away.
You have had a new great granddaughter, Jason and Lyna being the proud parents.
We have spent a quiet time on holiday on our own.
Caught a few fish

We all miss you. We have visited you every time we have been up in the Waikato
Love Brendan and Robyn

My dearest Mother. Mum this time 7 weeks ago, we were packed and in a few more hours getting into the car with you and driving you to Ngaruawahia....It was such a sad time for us mum, but no doubt you were happy to be finally with Dad, family, neighbours and friends.
I am sitting here with the blanket you had on your bed that the Spatuzzo's gave you for your 90th birthday and one of your nighties on. I don't think I could be any closer to you now. It is nearly 1am and I just can't sleep. This reminds me of the sleepless nights I had after Peter passed. But it's great that I can sit here and talk to you like this. Things are just not the same without you Mum. Paraparaumu isn't the same. Just as well I have our Friday night cards with Bob, Jeanette, BJ & Robyn and our dinners during the week, .plus our news friends which have invited us to their place for meals and cards, also outings.
Until we meet again, but not too soon Mum as I am still needed here. You were very generous giving us so many years with you...amazing.
Love you always mum and never forgotten....Your loving daughter. CARMEN ......LLeo sends his love as well.

Wednesday 10th April.
Hi my mother, it is 5 weeks today that you flew off in the early hours of the morning to join dad and your other members of the family and friends.
I miss you so much, but have taken a pair of your pj's so I can wear them and that gives me sweet dreams of you.

As Sue said, 102 years of age Mum, we thought we were going to have you forever.....

It is getting colder here now, so you won't have to worry that you were cold at all.
You said to make sure that I looked after the boys, but they look after me as well. We have Bob, Jeanette, BJ and Robyn over sometimes twice a week. Have dinner and play cards, I sit so that you are looking at me so you can help me with my cards, I won two games and Bob told me to swop seats and he would win...the rat, he did win Mum and Leo 2nd and me last that game. Made them happy anyway lol.
Love you Mum and give my love to everyone and again, I hope you have caught up with Peter etc etc. Tell Aunty Kath, I found a beautiful photo of Marie and she is now in my lounge.

Love always your daughter, Carmen ❤❤❤❤

Hey Nana..
I watch your videos that mum took of you playing the piano, & I'm so happy we have them.. Hard to believe you're not here anymore tho! Thought we were just gonna have you forever with us.. 102 years was such an amazingly long life.. You're missed & loved so much.. I hope you're happy & back with everyone that went b4 you.. I have wonderful memories of you in Ngaruawahia Nana that I will treasure forever, waking up in my room with the orange bedspread that I would chew on, writing on the fogged up window and listening to the trains go by.. Always walking into your warm home, smelling all the delicious foods you would cook for us kids.. playing marbles on your carpet in the lounge room, and you trying to trick me, saying my favourite show.. Little House On The Prairie was finished when it wasn't you cheeky thing! You were so smart and so quick with some of the funniest comebacks! Loved the story you'd tell me about when I was little in church, and your friends would comment on this little girls long beautiful red hair.. and you'd say.. That's my grand daughter with such pride! You were always on the ball & full of energy & love for your huge amazing family you created! So glad you were my Nana.. But the best thing.. The older you got & sometimes with age you forget names of family members etc! Every time I walked into the room.. you knew I was Suzie Blue..

Nana, what an incredibly inspirational lady you were. Such patience, kindness and passion for your family. I have many wonderful memories of Ngaruawahia, trains in the night, meat pies, soups, piano lessons and running around your house! You have left behind a legacy and we all aspire to live your kind life. Forever missed and never forgotten - Karen, Matthew, Laura, Jacob and Renee xxx

3 weeks today mum that we lay you down to rest beside Dad and with Aunty Nainee. Also, Ken is beside you. He will never be forgotten either. It takes nearly a day at NGA cemetery to talk to our family and friends.
Sadly missed always, but I bet Dad and Peter, family and friends so pleased to see you.

Love always your daughter Carmen ❤❤❤❤
