12/6/07 Merry Christmas / Milton Yeo (Son) Hi Mom, this year went by fast and it's been really busy for me, but we just wanted to let you know you are always in our thoughts. I was just looking at your handwriting. The cursive writing you did is so beautiful and even the last few days before you went to the hospital, I couldn't detect any change in your style. When I see them, I just loved looking at it. I can still remember the way your hand holds the pen and the manner in the way you write. Every little thing about you is such a treasure for us. We were also looking at your old pictures and even seeing your name in stationaries and your pictures in dad's pamphlets.
The other day, we went to your apartment since we are picking up dad's mail. He is in the Philippines now. It's his second time there since you left. Before he left, we did talk and he mentioned about how much he misses you and how his other half of happiness has been taken away. You know, we all missed you so much and still can't believe you are gone. It's tough to accept, but we are glad to have been part of your life.
Christmas season is here again and it'll never be the same without you. I hope to see you again and hear your voice in our dreams. The kids are growing up so fast now and still talks about you. Kaitlyn is 10 years old now, turning up to be a darling girl, she really has your smile and mannerism. She loves to play "foursquare". Kendrick is doing very well in the mainstream school. You would get a kick out of him seeing him ride his bikes. I have the kids follow me in their own bikes to school last weekend. We still talk about you and because of you in brings them closer to Christ. Liz and I always talk about you before we go to sleep or even while we are doing our day to day things together. She really missed you. Your plants and toil in our gardening is still here and have blossomed well.
You have left such a deep impact in our lives. We loved you so much and sorely missed! bye Mom!
11/29/07 I MISS YOU MOM! / Steph (Daughter) Hi Mom, I miss you so much tonight. I was cleaning my office closet and found a photo album that I had bought in hopes of one day putting all your pictures together. I'm sorry I still have not been able to do it. I found some old pictures of you from when you worked in the school, and a deep painful sadness came over me and I couldn't stop crying and crying. It's hit me again how you are really gone. My first instinct was wanting to call you and hear your voice and hug you and then I felt this deep sharp pain in my chest as I knew that the pictures I held in my hands were all that I have left of you.
Whenever reality hits me, I feel like I'm losing you all over again and this deep pain in my chest will not go away. All I long for is to see you, hear your voice and just be with you again. I miss you terribly and the overwhelming sadness I feel is indescribable. I know that you know how much I miss you and cry for you. I can feel you looking down from heaven. I love you so much and miss you more everyday. Love your heartbroken daughter
11/20/07 thanking you so much / JEANNIE/MOM TO DUANE SUESS THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME, I AM NOT SO GOOD YET WITH THE GRAFICS, GOD BLESS YOU ALL DURING THIS ROUGH TIME.

10/29/07 A Special Candle / Dennis Mariotis (Visitor) We opened our new church building this weekend. Greek Orthodox Christian Church. On Saturday 10/27/07 I lit a special candle for memory of family's and loved ones. Also said a prayer for your family and loved ones and everyone on the memory-of that I light candles for and who light candles for my sister and keep us in their prayers. Be well and I thank God for people like you. Sorry for the circumstances that brought us to know each other. It's God's way of keeping us all grounded in his circles of loving and caring people. My best to your family from mine - Dennis, Brother to Vicky M.

10/26/07 Mom...I miss you very much!!! / Steph (daughter)
Mom, I look at the christmas picture taken last year with just the 4 of us and it hits me again that you are no longer with us. I've always imagined the 5 of us being together. It has always been you, Dad, Milton, me and Newt. That was my rock, my center...now it's broken and there's a huge hole in our family. I think back on the memories that you missed since God took you to heaven....
-Got Dad to actually play pictionary with everyone last Christmas -Newt and Nancy's beautiful wedding and all of us having so much fun. And Dad actually danced! -Dad visiting Newt and Nancy in Tokyo. We know you've been wanting to go since they moved last May. -Our new house, you were supposed to come see it last Columbus Day. -Our first family vacation in Oahu, Hawaii. It was so much fun but we missed you so much! Again, you've never been there but always wanted to go.... _All the kids' school functions.....all our holidays, our birthdays....
Mom....we missed you in each of those memories and it will never be the same without you. I just know that Heaven is a far more wonderful place than down here. And God has a plan on why He took you sooner than we expected. I love you with all what's left of my heart and I will miss you forever! XOXO Steph

10/16/07 Memories from Hope Christian school / Milton Yeo (Son) Mom, I thought I would share some specific memories of what I remember when I was in Manila. Anyway, here it goes. When I was in 6th grade in Hope Christian School in Manila, I got into a fight one day. I punched my seat mate right on his face and since he got bloodied, we both were sent to the principal's office and I was the bad guy. I threw the first punch because my classmate was picking on me all day and was challenging me to a fight after class. I told him why wait til later, let's just do it now. He couldn't believe it, so I threw the first punch to make him believe. Anyway, I felt bad when we were in the office but minutes later my mom walks in. She was wearing the standard teacher blue uniform and she saw me and immediately pinched my ear so hard (I can't remember which ear, could have been both). I knew I deserved that. Anyway, what's the point of this? I just remember how much worse I felt and how I let her down, how ashamed I feel for her, not me, because she was a teacher in this school. She teaches Kindergarten there. It was one of those moments, I would never forget because I felt I let her down. She has taught us well, she has always maintained a high standard of conduct and behavior. She has also instilled in us a great work ethic. The funny thing is in this incident, I was reprimanded hard by my teacher & principal because I was the class president at that time. So much for being a role model. I thought I behaved well except for that one day. It wasn't the last time I got into a fight anyway, it was just the one where we got caught and where I let my mom down. I just felt that time that I didn't deserve to be her son. Now, thinking back, she is such a loving mom. No, she didn't beat me up after we got home and she never brought it up again. She knew I've learned my lesson ... not to pick a fight during class ;-) I just look back now and I can smile about it. Mom, I love you and I missed you so. More stories to come in a few days. It's 1:41 am now Oct 16. Time for bed.
10/14/07 Family is important.... / Steph (Daughter)
Hi Mom, I had another dream about you a couple of nights ago. You were sitting down and cutting pictures of us and taping them together to put them in picture frames. You were telling me that we should always love each other and stay together no matter what happens. And you were talking about how important it is to have a family and be together.
I love you so much!!!!
10/13/07 Happy Halloween Anita With Love! / Melissa Eiler (Friend~Connected By "Our Angels"~ )
10/12/07 Happy Fall! / Margaret Daughter Of ^i^ Nellie Buonpane
10/9/07 Mom, I had a dream about you.... / Steph (daughter) Mom, I had a dream about you last night, the first time in months. You were laying on a bed and we were sitting around you. You started to wake up and sit up and speak to us. I told you "I love you" and I heard your voice say "I love you too." I was so happy to hear your voice and that you could see me.
Then I saw cousin Billy walking towards your bed to say hi to you. Then all of a sudden, you started to close your eyes and your soul started to disappear. I cried and cried, "NO, NO, NO, Don't go!" My heart was so broken and so sad and I felt like I was losing you all over again.
I miss you so much and it's been so painful and so hard without you. I love you so much!
10/7/07 1 year remembrance / Newt Yeo (youngest son ) we love you and miss you dearly, moms... always, your newt and nancy.
