My Sweet Baby Girl

It is now 2 years since you were last with us. Little did we know that you would not be with us anymore. That early morning hour changed our lives forever. I go to my memories of you everyday the only place where I can go with just you. The special memories always put a smile on my face. The memories must last a lifetime for me now. If I had known what that morning held for us, I would have made sure that I told you more often how much I loved you and how important you were to me. You were one of my lights and very proud to call you my daughter. This book will end in a few days, but I will continue to send you a message each month and on special days. I will love you forever. Missing you more today than I did yesterday.

Love you forever
Mom

Kimberly

Another month has come and gone without you. Some day are harder than others. I long to hear your voice, see your face, smile and your blue eyes. Listen to your laugh, and wait to hear your footsteps come up the stairs at night. To hear once more I love you Mom, and get a hug and kiss from you... You will always have a very special place in my heart, and I have tucked away my memories of you in there. I will never get over the loss of you but in time I guess I will get use to it. I know you are my angel always by my side and always with us whatever we do.

Missing you more today than I did yesterday.

Love forever
Mom

Dear Kimberly

Another month has pasted now. It still doesn't seem real that you are not with us. You will always be in our hearts and when we think of you we always have a smile on our face remembering all the good times we had with you. I know I am not the only one that misses you, you had alot of good friends that we still hear from every now and again, and I know they miss you. I guess I didn't realize what wonderful friends you did have. If words and tears could have brought you back to us, you would have been back along time ago. I wish you peace and love now. I am waiting for the day I will get to see you and put my arms around my little girl and tell you that you meant everything to me. I will always love you and think about you every single day of my life.

Love you lots
Mom
Big hug and kiss

Dear Kimberly

One more month goes by, 20 months in all, time has gone by so fast, yet at times I wishes it had stood still. You were so much a part so many peoples lives and misssed everyday by them. We all take each other for granted yet we never let each other know how truely important they are to us. Your leaving has left such a big hole in me my life. I wish I could have given you so much more than I did.
I love you with all of my heart. I should have told you more.
If only I could change things, I would do it without hestation would not have to think twice. I would change places with you in a heart beat, just so Jaden could have you back in this life.
You are missed more as each day passes.
Missing you more this month, than I did last month.

Alls in my thoughts always in my heart.
Love you Lots

Dear Kimberly

It seems like only yesterday, that we had you with us, yet it was 19 months ago that you left. Time seems to stand still for me. I have your picture in my mind always. You are right in front of me when I go to work each morning and I see your smiling face and your big blue eyes. I can remember so many wonderful memories of you, when you were born, first day of school, birthdays, holiday, when you got your license and I wouldn't ride with you!!!! Your prom, your graduation. When you went away to college and called every night, cause you didn't want to be there. The day you had Jaden, and I was lucky to be there with you. I miss you, your laugh, your blue eyes, your heavy footsteps as you came up the stairs after work. I miss everything, I would change places with you in a minute just so Jaden could have you back. Your son lost out, not having you in his life, he'll never know what a wonderful person his mom was, but we will try and tell him all about you.I'm still waiting for you to come and visit me. I miss you each and everyday.

Love you always
Mom

I cant believe so much time has already passed. And yet some days it feels like time is standing still. Kim, I know you're in a place where there is no pain and sorrow. But the physical separation hurts. I'm sorry if I wasn't there as much as I woulda liked. We realize too late that we let our lives get in the way of what is truly important in life, Family and friends. You were always there for me. Always smiling that beautiful bright smile no matter what you were going through yourself. I think of you often. I think of my little brother too. I hope you guys meet up there. He was a good soul like you. Happy. I miss you both. I wish I could take back time sometimes. I hope you can find a way to show your family you're ok. I know thats all I need from my brother too. We all miss you. You touched so many lives and you probably didnt even know it. Our 10 yr HS reunion is coming up. 10 years!! How time flies. We love you and miss you. Until we meet again dear friend...

January 6, 2010

Dear Kimmy

I visit you everyday, talk to you everyday, hoping that you will answer me. I'm waiting for something I can never have again, wishing things were still the same as it was. My heart aches to think that you are never going to be with us. The holidays came and went, but they are not the same without you. Jaden had a good Christmas and got what he wanted. The new year has arrived and I'm wishing it was 2008 again just so I can have you back for awhile. I guess I still have accepted that you are not here, wishing I could, but the hurt is still to much for me, the hole in my heart still to big.

Missing you as I do each and everyday.
Love always
Mom

December 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

One more month without you, this was a difficult month for me. Thanksgiving was not the same, none of our days will ever be the same, sometimes we just go through the motions, just to get the day over with. Days are so long without you. How I wish I could see you one more time, if only for a moment. You were the light of my life and will always be, I was proud to be your mom. I wish you peace and happiness in the world you are now apart of, someday we will be together again, until then I am sending you all my love.

Missing you everyday
Mom

November 6, 2009

Dear Kimberly

Another month goes by without you. The holidays will be coming soon, it is still diffcult to think you won't be with us again this year, but we will light your candle next to your picture and pretend you are still with us. You will always be here just not in the way I would like you to be. There are many days I wish I could just reach out and you would be here beside me, or give your check a kiss, hear your voice and smell your perfume just once more, but this will never be again. My memories of you are all close to my heart now. I will hold on tight to all of my memories. Wishing you were still here with us. Missing you more as each day goes by.

Always in my thoughts and heart until we meet again.
Love you Lots
Mom

October 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

One more month goes by. It is now fall, leaves are turning colors and falling. Jaden has started 1st grade now, and I think liking it. The afterschool program he loves to go to. He doing well, missing you.
I miss you more as each day goes by, will the days ever get easier? The hole is my heart from losing you is just to big, I don't think it will ever heal. I keep listening the the same song over and over and I wish you could fly me up to where you are if only for a short time, just so I know you are alright, and give you one more hug and the chance to say goodbye to you. I do believe that angels breathe, and I believe that you are here with us everyday of our lives, making sure that we will be able to go on without you (it is hard without you). You are always in my thoughts each day, and will continue to live in my heart and memories always.

Until next month
I Love you always
Mom

September 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

Another month has come and gone without you. Thete is not a single day that goes by that I do not think of you and wish that you were still here with us. I wish that we could all have just one more day with you,to hug and give you a kiss, and hold on tight to you, we never got to say good-bye to you.
Jaden will start school on Tuesday, 1st grade now, and will be six this week, he has grown so tall this year, and is not a baby anymore.
Nothing has changed, we still live one day at a time, afraid to look to far ahead because it can change at a moments notice. I know that you are with us in everything that we do and making sure that we take the right road, my only wish is that you were still with us. Your birthday is coming up, what a happy day that was for everyone when you were born. Please come and visit with me, I need to know that you are Ok.
You are forever in my heart.
Love you Lots
Mom

August 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

I just can't believe how fast time goes by. You left us 13 months ago today. It has been a very tough year for all of us. Some days I keep waiting for you to come home from Sam's, and have to stop and think that is not going to happen. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you, you were my best friend. I want to sit and talk with you (I do, but you don't answer me), kiss you and hold you tight so you are always here with us.
We will bring back some sand and seashells for you soon.

Missing you always
All of my love
Mom

Kimberly,
I cant beleive that it has been entire year already. I miss your super bright smile that always had a piece of gum behind it. There are times that I almost expect to see you when I come into work. Even though I know that your not here with us, I know that you are watching and laughing at some of the things that are going on. We all miss you Kim. You are greatly missed!

Dear Kimberly
How could a whole year have passed already....A year of not talking with you, not hearing your laugh or seeing your smile. Each day that passes is still so hard. You were a good friend to me and I will never forget that or you. I think of you and pray for you everyday, you will always be in my heart....I miss you my dear friend.

July 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.

Today is the one year anniversary that you were so suddenly taken from us.
Holding our memories close to our heart and wishing you were still here with us. Missing you more as eash day passes. Sending all our love to you.
With hugs and kisses

Dear Kimberly

Today marks eleven months since we were last with you. Time goes by so fast. If only we had known what was to come. I wish we could skip over this day, and pretend that it never happened. You are missed more than words could ever say, ,more than the tears I have shed over you. I have my wonderful memories of you and I will hold them close to my heart always. You are now our angel please watch over us and take care of us, especially Jaden. He misses you alot.I wish I could visit with you just once and hold you tight, I would never let you go.

Love forever
Huges and kisses

To Jaden and the Scholtz Family,
I'm still in shock over the lost of your mother and daughter. It would be a month later and I'd lose my mother. So I know how it is to grieve for someone so close. Losing your mother is one of the hardest thing to live with...cause their no longer in arms reach. A mother losing her child is just as unthinkable but is reality. I pray that you have found a means of coping with your lost. I know GOD has given and will continue to give you the comfort you need at this time and always.

May 5, 2009

Dear Kimberly

It just does not seem like 10 months have past since you left us. I wish I could change what has happened. It is still a horrible nightmare that we can't wake up from. God must have needed you much more than we did here. Our lives are forever changed because of this. Jaden should be growing up with you not two old people taking care of him. I hope we are raising him the way you would have done. If not help guide
us to do it the right way. He is a wonderful little guy, he's happy and doing good in school.
Mother's Day is Sunday, we are going to send a balloon up to you, keep a look out for it, Jaden will have a message for you.
I hope you have a good Mother's Day, I wish I could spend it with you. Give Nannie a kiss and hug for me, let her know that I miss her too. I wish I could have you back for one more hug and kiss, and let you know how much I love you, and how proud I am to call you my daughter.
Missing you and Loving you more as each day goes by.

My Dear Sweet Daughter

It seems like only yesterday that Daddy and I brought you home from the hospital. You were such a beautiful baby girl. But many years have come and gone and you grew to be a beautiful young women. We had so many hopes and dreams for you and your future. I have asked so many times why did this happen what happened that Kimberly was taken away from us so quickly, without warning.
Was there something I could have done to prevent this horrible accident, but I guess God has a different plan in mind for you, he needed you more then we did. I hope everybody that is up in heaven with you is watching over you and taking good care of you. I live on the memories I have of you and think about all the goods times we had. If only I could hold you one more time and tell you just how much I love you. It has been 9 months today, it seems like only yesterday. Missing you everyday.

Love
Mom

You left us 8 months ago today. It seems like forever. I wish we could go back in time to July 4, so you would still be with us. I visit you almost everyday, but you know that already, tears still come, when I remember somthing that you did or a memory from long ago. Daddy and I never had that chance to say good-bye to you, but know that we love you very much. We were blessed the day you were born and proud to say that's my daughter. Jaden is fine and growing, hope you are listending when we say our good nights!

Love and missing you everyday that goes by.

Kim I can't stop thinking about you and all of the memories we made through out the years. I know within the last year we went our seperate ways in life but I hope you know how much I love you and appreciated your friendship. You are in my thoughts in dreams a lot lately and I truely miss seeing your smiling face. You were an amazing person and I can only hope when we meet again you welcome me with open arms. One lesson I've learned is life is too short and that you have to let your loved ones know everyday how much they mean to you. It seems like everyday that goes by it hits me harder and harder that your gone. I drove by Central the other day and was immediately flooded with memories of you and I and the fun times we had there. Which of course led to tears and sadness as I drove away. Jaden is getting so big and hes so cute!! Jake and Riley are getting big too, I just had another baby girl three weeks ago. Her name is Ava. Three kids Kim!!! Three!! I'm crazy I know but they are such a blessing! Jake will be going to school with Jaden this year. I miss you so much Kimberly!!! Words cannnot express the deep sadness I am feeling over your passing and I pray everyday for your family. Until we meet again Kim I love you and you will always hold a place in my heart. You will never ever be forgotten!

Dear Scholtz Family,

I didn't know your daughter except when I shopped at Sams. Last week I noticed a picture of her on one of her coworkers vest and asked about her, immediately the person became quiet and told me of her sudden and sad passing. I remembered her out of all of the workers because of her genuine smile and happy nature. I want to express my sincere sympathy to her family, friends and coworkers.

July 11, 2008

Kim, It's already been a week since you were taken from us and I still just can't beleive it. It was just 2 weeks ago we were at work talking about how we had first met and how nervous I was getting back into the work force after staying home for 12 years with my kids. I should have thanked you that day for helping me out the way you did, for being there for me when i was so scared you took me under your wing and we became fast friends. We had so many goods times and laughed so much together. I remember how we would stay in the parking lot of SAMS after work at night and talk for over an hour. Your mom would be calling you wondering were you were and David would be calling me but we just stayed there leaning up against our cars talking the night away. I remember when you called me at home to tell me you were in labor with Jaden, you were so excited an scared I remember telling you you would be alright and in a few hours you would be holding your little boy. So many memories have been going through my head since I heard the news of your passing I could go on forever. Kimberly you will always be in my heart, I will never forget you and I willl AWLAYS cherish all my memories of our friendship, you meant more to me then you will ever know.I miss you........

Jaden ,

I met you and your mommy through my son, Dennis. You two hit it off so well right from the start and when I met you I could see the fun loving little boy that Kim loved so much. Your mom will be with you always in your heart and memories but most of all the guardian angel you'll always feel, want and need.

To the Scholtz Family,
Whatever I can do to help please don't hesitate to call Dennis or me.

You are all in our prayers.

I'm so glad that I've had the chance to be friends with her throughout the years and that she was in my life. Even if after high school we all went our separate ways. I know Jaden will always remember how much his mom loved him. He was and will always be the world to her. Kim I love ya and will always miss you. My condolences are with her family.

She will forever be in my heart. She is with all the angels now and at peace. Please know that her arms will always be around us. She is our Angel now.
