I have dealt with my feelings, anger, and resentment. Chris and I have dealt with our shit. Sean claims to have dealt with his but he’s not finished. He tries to project his own issues on Chris and has been for years. I just didn’t know it all that time. I learned it thru this process. Chris is actually the normal one and has moved on with his life. It is obvious to me that Sean has been harboring resentment of me for having a relationship Colleen over the years. He was projecting his shit about Colleen onto me. I thought he and I had a good relationship over the last 20 years or so. It was really shocking.

I just needed to get this off my chest to you. Only you could understand.

I love you and miss you and I miss dad. Life is getting better though and I am happy and at peace. I know I will see you when my time comes.
Love always, Mary

Hi Mom,

It’s been many years since I’ve written here. I miss you always.

Colleen is gone as you know. It was an extremely difficult time. It aggravated a rift that had developed between Sean and I that was already in place. It was a difficult process. Colleen had someone in her life and apparently they had been living together and helping each other. She stole her body by claiming to be her daughter and had her moved all the way from Baltimore to Dover. Everyone along the way, the people at the Anatomy Board in Baltimore, a funeral in Cambridge, and then a funeral in Dover. She was trying to arrange a funeral posing as her daughter and planned to have her buried in a veteran’s cemetery in DE. Colleen had come home it Baltimore and been in a few assisted living and nursing homes. She knew she was dying. I needed to trace her movements to gather whatever things she had brought with her and find out what’s going on. It was extremely stressful and heart wrenching. Sean and Grace both aggravated the situation by tracing my every move as if they didn’t believe what was going on. I provided transparency by keeping them and Chris posted and giving them the phone numbers and name of the people I had spoke to. There was no insurance available to me and they expected that I pay for their father’s funeral and even started threatening me and talking with Aunt Janet behind my back… accusing me of trying to keep the insurance suggesting that I was as mentally ill and could not be trusted. Janet forwarded it to me and I forwarded it back to Sean with a response. I was shocked at their behavior. I will never forget it. Ever. We are permanently estranged.

Hi Mom,

I know you are aware of Uncle Ray's passing in January and Uncle Fred's passing last Saturday. I know they are with you and there is no more pain, fear, or regret. I think of you every day and I know you are with me. It gives Colleen and I great comfort.

I reached out to Fred's sons over the last month, keeping them posted on the situation. If nothing else I hope that being in contact has renewed our relationships and desire to stay in touch with family. I don't want any of us to feel alone in the world.

I miss you and I hope I am making you proud. I've been at a crossroads this year and have made some drastic life changes. I hope you are looking down on me and agree that I am making good decisions. I would love to see you in my dreams soon.

Your loving only baby girl,

Mary

Hi mom,

Missing you so much. I miss talking to you every day. I just wasn't ready. I imagine that you're sitting her with me and that you can hear everything I say to you. I think of you everyday and dad and I talk about you all the time. I went down to see Colleen a few weekends ago. I didn't anticipate how it would feel to go back down to Lewes and not be able to go see you. Babygirl was with me and she always helps me feel better. I tell her that you miss her and that we will both see you again someday. She is my such a wonderful companion. She misses her Gram. I love you and hope to see you in my dreams.

Hi Mom, It's been over two weeks now and I still can't believe you're gone. It just doesn't seem real. I miss you so much. I miss talking to you every day. Your birthday is next Wednesday so if the weather is okay I'm going to visit your grave for the first time. I may even bring Babygirl. You know how she enjoys a ride in the car. I'll just have to tell her "no pee pee on Grammy's grave." I love you.

Your Only Baby, Mary Helen

Hi mom. . . I miss you so much. I can't believe you're gone. It all happened so fast. It was hard but I know I made the right decisions for you. I was sitting there with Colleen when you took your last breath. I'm so blessed to have been there and I know you could hear me. I will always be listening for you and looking for you.

My mind is flooded with a constant loop of memories of you and all the times we've had, good memories, songs you like that I can just picture you singing and dancing to - you were a great singer; the time you were riding my 3-speed and flipped completely over, I remember laughing till we had tears streaming down our faces. Glad you didn't break your back though! Thanksgivings at Uncle Hoppy's when they were living in Springfield. But most of all, I will miss your friendship and support, always being there to talk to.

I will always be thinking of you and hoping that I am making you proud of me in whatever I'm doing. People will catch me talking to you and think I'm talking to myself. I will give Babygirl and the boys a kiss from their Gram everyday. And we will all be together again someday.

All my love,

Mary

Well as difficult as this time is for Mary and myself, I am going to tell on my sister.

Well this was one winter night back in the 1960's and
Helen and my Dad were driving
from Bel Air up to pick up my
brother one winter night to McGuire, AFB in New Jersey and then it happened a flat tire. Well my Dad went into the trunk of Helen's car and
believe it or not all she had
was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a
CRAB mallet. As you well can
begin to imagine what my Dad
said!!!!!!!!! Then a few short words then "my god all that you have is a crab mallet" then they both broke out in laughter, From that day on no one in the family ever let her forget. Many good memories of my sister and good family times. Well Helen I got you or maybe you now have got me. Love you so, and I will miss terribly. Your loving sister Colleen. P.S. They did complete their mission!!!!!!

I never met Helen, but rather knew her through her lovely daughter Mary. Mary and I work together and she would share stories of her beloved mother with me. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Mary. May you rest with the Lord, Helen.
