8 years Mom... It's hard to comprehend.
My life is good. I have a great family, I keep learning each day, and I have some goals ahead of me. Wish you and Dad & Jack were here to see my boys. I know you, of all, would spoil them rotten and they'd love you like all your grandchildren have.
We miss you Mom. Always will.

Mom,
You got your Jackie back the other day. I hope you, Dad and Jack are playing some golf, sharing some stories, and feeling the love we all still have for all of you.
I miss you, Dad and now Jack. But I am so lucky and grateful to have had the time with you all that I did. You all set the foundation for me to be the man I am today. I am happy, I am loved, and I love without fear... and I owe it all to you.

Hi Mom,
I just wanted to talk to you today. I've missed you over these last 4 years.. now more than ever. I could really have used your advice on being a parent and I would have loved to see you with 2 grandsons to spoil. They know about you, so maybe you can visit them in their dreams.
I love you Mom,

Well Mom... today is 3 years since you left. In hind site, you got out while the gettin was good. I hope you're not too dissappointed in us. You were the glue that bound us together and now that's all gone. I'm glad you never lived to see any of this, but I know you're watching now anyway. I wish you were here to talk to... I didn't know how much we talked until you were gone. I try to live my life the best way possible... and I hope I still make you proud. As always, I miss you and look forward to the day when we can sit and talk again.
I love you,

I'm doing well and getting better all the time. I'm to the point where seeing your picture brings a warmth inside of me and a huge smile to my face. I was truly lucky to have a mother like you. Thank you for all you did for me... and all you still do.
All my love,

Hi Mom,
Today is 6 months since you left to be with Nanny, Pop Pop, Aunt Betty, Uncle Bobby and Mark... along with all of my other friends from Cantor. I'm sure you've gotten a lot of stories about me and I kinda cringe at the thought but I'm sure most of them had you laughing.
We miss you here and you are thought of and talked about a lot. I don't think you knew the impact you had on the lives of so many. For me, personally, I know you have made me stronger than I ever thought I could be. I could be even stronger.. and I will be over time, but that's a credit to you as well. I'm just glad that when I think of you I only have a small tug at my heart and then a warmth and happiness come over me. You made life special and fun... and, believe it or not, you still do.
I miss you Mom, but I know you are with me each day. I love you.
Dan

She was a Special Lady..
.
Dolores was a special lady, she was devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and friends.
Since she was a little girl and survived pneumonia, she was destined to be a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Everyone who had the great fortune to be in her life were the better for it. She was a compassionate, supportive, loving person. She loved her life, playing bridge with friends, water aerobics, golf course job. But most of all she loved her family.
Her hubby Johnnie as she sometimes called him - knew each other since high school senior year. They double dated with sister Joan and had many adventures together. John was the good guy, he would talk Joe the crazy driver into doing whatever Dolores wanted. John was always willing to please.
Through the years they raised 4 children the loves of her life Sue, Kathe, Jack & Dan. Sue is now the rock of her family, the dependable loving daughter and sister, and mother of Katie and Kelly, her beautiful grandchildren. Kathe Dolores would often roll her eyes in her head and raise the classic eyebrow was her classic born to be me daughter, who could break a vacuum by looking at it. Kathe became the dessert maker and Christmas helper her Mom knew how to get the most out of her. Kathe and Sue have the best relationship, oh so close, Mom's great sense of humor, and love of family.
Dolores had two sons, Jack and Dan. Jack being the oldest and mischievous. Once he accused me of beating him with a baseball bat whiffle, I hope, I don't recall. He was her football star and she was the proudest Mom ever. Jack's daughter Amanda, her first grandchild, I'm told by my sister is much like her father. I last saw Amanda in San Fran, she has turned into a fine and beautiful young lady, one her Nanny was so proud of.
Dan is the baby and her basketball star and she was oh so proud. He is a kind, loving, supportive son, just like Jack. I thank Dan, as do Sean and Michelle, for bringing Dolores to AZ to visit us for the twins' shower. We are all so grateful to have had her with us for the 5 wonderful days in May of this year.
Dolores has 4 sisters and a brother she is leaving behind who absolutely adored her. She was the best big sister and friend any sibling could ever want. Joan, the mischievous one, Mary our princess, Margie the loner, Denise the baby and Bud the little brother, we all share her great love for family, her compassion, her kindness, her willingness to drop everything and come to your rescue which she did much without ever being asked.
She had patience and a great sense of humor. She was sitting in the den and water started dripping on her headof course we laughed, she ran upstairs, well Dan and Sean were in the shower with the drain stuffed trying to fill her shower with water. She wasn't upset, she thought it was funny and I did and we laughed. Dolores and John would go to the movie and Dolores had the stiletto heels on and broke one and then the other and her and Joan would hobble in the house and be laughing trying to tell Dad.
My sister could find humor in everything. Humor is so good for the soul. She loved you all very deeply. She has gone to a better place to be with her Mom and Dad and Betty and Bob and Mark. She has left you with the light of the way. She would like you to remember her and all the wonderful times she had with you. Be happy and remember how well she guided you all to be the loving family that you are. She is at peace and she wants you to celebrate her life and incorporate her humor in every minute of your future and she will be oh so happy.

Dear Aunt Dolores:
When I was younger, a promise of a visit to Aunt Dolores' house would always make me smile. I always knew that we would feel welcomed and loved, that we would be well fed and well hugged, and that through all of the laughing, fighting, rough-housing, hiding, crying and mischief, not even wild horses would be able to drag me away when it was time to go home. Kicking and screaming we would leave, consoled only by the promise of another visit in the not-to-distant future.
I learned so much about the importance of family and the role of story-telling, about how these weave into our being and become the fabric of our lives. Sitting around the kitchen table, listening to you, my Mom, Uncle John and your sisters telling stories, talking about your past, fighting about your parents, each other, the world or God forbid! talking politics I always knew when it made sense to leave the room and go back down to the basement!, those were magic moments.
The empathy, the compassion, the warmth, the intesity, the furstration, the passion, the drama - I learned so much about love, about how to build connections and community, and about how to find purpose and meaning. And no matter what types of problems or challenges that I was stuggling with as I got older and life got more complex, I could also go back to those memories of sitting around your kitchen table and find a safe place, find an anchor, and find some strength and some hope. It was a powerful gift, and for that I will be forever grateful.
I was so happy to have had a chance to sit with you, Uncle John, and my Mom again, one more time, around your kitchen table before you left us a few weeks ago. You were so alive and vibrant, telling stories and listening to stories, talking about family, giving voice to your fears, but without ever stopping your laughing, your loving and your giving. Although I did not think about it as goodbye at the time, it is somehow comforting to me now to have been bathed in that spirit one last time. And that's the spirit, your generous spirit, that I will keep with me and do my best to emulate and spread, as best as I can, as I move on through this life.
So thank you again for having such a warm heart, a hearty laugh and a loving spirit. We will miss you, but rest assured, you will be remembered and you will be loved.
Much love,
Michael

Dearest Dan, Dad and Family,
Words cannot for one moment come close to the emotions you are all feeling at this time. I never met "Mom", but did have the pleasure of speaking with her on the telephone whenever you Dan were at home. Never ever forget she will always live within all of you. May God bless and protect you and yours. Dan, I sent you this in my email and will share it with your family as well.
"When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years, but start out bravely with a gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all the things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!" This gave me comfort when my daughter and her husband took their journey this past February. God Bless you all.

When I was a child, there was so much I couldn't understand about family - like how hard you worked and how much you sacrificed for our family.
For as long as I can remember, you?ve been by our sides ? giving us support, confidence and help. You?ve always been the person I looked up to ? so strong and compassionate, so very beautiful. You provided us, your family, with stability, wiped away the tears, and filled us with laughter and with love.
You must have felt incredibly frustrated sometimes - yet you never gave less than your best to us. You didn't have an exciting career or beautiful clothes. You never traveled the world or drove a fancy car. Every day, you looked after us, worried about us, fed us, and loved us, without expecting anything in return. You see, Mom, I know now and understand that you actually gave me two lives: my own... and yours.
You were a remarkable woman who accomplished so much in terms of giving in an incredibly selfish world ? family, friends, anyone, and everyone ? it didn?t really matter. If you thought they needed help or guidance, tenderness or love, you gave it so freely . . .
You were, and still are, everything a mother should be - So much of what your family has become is because of you . . . . I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you, thank you, love you and, yes, miss you ? so much more than words could ever express.
With Love,
S

Dear Mom:
I love you and miss you. You taught me how to be strong. You showed me how a sense of humor and keeping busy will get you through the tough times. You gave me love when I was unlovable and gave me faith when I did not believe in myself and gave me hope for a better day when I was lost in sadness. My children will have a good mother because you showed me how to be a good mother; for this I will always be grateful. You are with me always.
Love,
Susan

You are such a part of my spirit. I cannot imagine you not being with us. You were my big sister and a friend for life. This family will struggle to fill your void. We know we must keep smiling because you would have it no other way. Continue to watch over us. Help us find our way and stand tall as the grand lady of this amazing Daley clan.
I love you very much.

You are my one and only love. You pushed me when I needed pushing. Chided me when I needed it. You loved me and together we raised four great children. The love that everyone you touched was evident in the magnitude of the group that attended your Funeral Mass and the reception after. I know I will miss you to the day I die and that somehow you?ll give me a kick in the pants when I need it.
I love you

Dear Dolores,
Thank you for imprinting on my heart the virtues of love and kindness which were so much a part of you. I learned to be kind through the eyes of a child looking up to her big sister and I learned to love as you taught me through constant interaction the importance of loving and being loved.
I love you, Den

To the entire Daley family - in memory of Aunt Delores -
Though I've only been a part of the large and loving extended Daley family for a short time, I've come to admire the closeness you all share. I only saw Aunt Delores a few times a year at family gatherings, but she, along with the rest of the family, had become a very important part of my life. I will truly miss Aunt Delores' smiling face at future get-togethers.
