One Year
Jennifer,
One year ago today you met Jesus face to face. Oh what a happy day that was for you. You were so strong and a woman of great faith and believed with every fiber that you did not belong here on earth - your home was heaven...so today I'm full of memories, good & bad, but in admiration because in the midst of whatever you were going through as a single mom, fighting cancer, fighting whatever other demons you had in your head, you were strong, faithful and always positive. Heaven is an even better place because you are in it. Have you met all the SOTH kids? I couldn't begin to name each one as I don't want to forget one of them but you know who they are!! Their moms are my new friends and we talk about you and their kids all the time. It's your name we want to hear. Oh, Jennifer, I miss you more than life itself. I hope you know I love you, I miss you every day - I miss our talks, I even miss your sometimes "tone" of voice that let me know I had over stepped my bounds as a mom. I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. I miss our Saturday lunches. I miss seeing those texts...SIGH.....BREATHE
As today passes, ending with sky lanterns in the sky for you, know I love you, I miss you and the best part of my life was being a mom to you. I don't know that I told you that, but I'm telling you now.
Sending much love, Vicki

How wonderful...you are making me cry but I feel that Jennifer was an amazing woman..find peace today and I am sending you a very strong((HUG))...gretcho
I am sending you and your precious Jennifer love and hugs. This is not the way it is suppose to be, sigh, please know that I am thinking of you and sending my love. Debbie
The best part of life was being a mom to you... Brings tears when I read this and am thinking of you and your precious Jennifer. She is at peace as our all the children and it\'s our path now to try to find those pockets full of peace and comfort for ourselves. Progression not perfection that\'s for sure with this walk...
Hoping all goes well with the sky lanterns and know with all of my heart that Jennifer hears you and understands now in ways that she could never have before how you feel being her mother. She too was a mother and I think with that comes a much deeper understanding of our own once we became one.
Lots of love dear Vicki and I\'m grateful you have this week off just to BE.
XO Joanie
I am lighting a candle in memory and honor of your beautiful daughter, Jennifer.
Vicki, please try to just breathe and BE, knowing that it\'s one day and moment at a time on this path.
With love and tight hugs,
Diane
Warm hugs to you, dearest Vicki! xxx
Vicki, what a wonderful letter to Jennifer! I love the sky lanterns and hope they fill you with warmth and take your breath away!
This one year mark is so incredibly complicated and sad and painful yet your letter tells me that you are dealing with your precious daughters passing as well as you are able and are beginning to understand the journey that you are now on.
tightest of hugs as you face this day,
Merrilee
Vicki, you have let your heart and soul out with this beautiful letter. It is a incredible account of Jennifer, sweet Jennifer! May this day be easy with this outpouring of a mother\'s love for her daughter!!!
Thinking of you and your precious Jennifer...there is a candle lit in Salisbury, NC for Jennifer.
Loving thoughts going out to you today, Vicki. I know that Jennifer will be extra-close to you during this first angel day.
May the Lord bless you, keep you & carry you through this emotional time.
Hope moments of peace come often & remember that you\'re not alone.
Caring hugs & Heartfelt prayers,
