Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Well mom, it’s been over 3 years since I have seen your face, heard you say I love you, or given you a hug or held your hand. I have to say this is by far the hardest thing I have ever gone through!! I miss you so much! There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you... I sure wish you were here it’s just not the same! It’s true what they say Mom’s are the glue that holds a family together!! Our family needs you right now!! I love and miss you so much!! Sounds crazy but this is kind of my way to talk to you.. I know you can’t see it but in my heart I am sure hoping you are over my shoulder reading it! Till I write again. Love always xoxo your daughter, Barbie

Mom it has been almost 2 years, and this is not getting any easier.. I miss you every single day.. I am always wanting to call you or text you about something.. things that are good, bad.. or just needing to talk to my mother! I really really miss you.. losing you has been the hardest thing I have ever gone thru.. I hope you know just HOW MUCH I love you! And thank you for being such a great mom to me. You didn't have to be... You made me who I am and that is huge to me.. because that keeps getting passed on.. And I hope my kids are who they are because I have had the same parental influences that you gave me! You would be so proud of them.. They are such great boys! Well young men.. I keep calling them boys but they are so grown up now. I love you with all my heart & soul.. I have such an empty hole in my heart that will never be filled again. I really needed to talk to you I know you can't see this.. but a part of me hopes your standing behind me watching me write to you! LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!!!! Your daughter, BARBIE

I am sorry for your loss and I know how much you will miss her. We all will miss Edith. I was looking forward to visiting with at class reunion. She was always smiling when I met in a store. She was truly a caring lady. I am glad to have her a classmate.

Barbie. I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. She seems to have been the sweetest, kind-hearted, strong family woman. I know these traits have and will continue in the hearts and souls of you and your family. May her strength and love help carry you through this sorrow.

Dear Walter and Family-
I am so sorry for your loss. Joanne was a sweet woman. I hope your time together as a family is comforting-it's what she would want. I am sorry I can't be there for the services but please know you are all in my thoughts.
Sincerely,

I have to say this has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through! Losing my mom you know will be hard! But losing her because of someone's carelessness takes it to a whole other level! My mom was THE MOST kind hearted person I have ever known! She wouldn't hurt anyone!! She was always there for everyone..And Always with a smile and a hug! She was also the best NANA ever!! All of her grandkids were spoiled rotten!! Nothing better than a nana' s love! I am thankful for the 50 years I had with her but an also angry for the years that should of been!! I truly am the person I am because of her! And I'd like to think I am a good person and it's from my mom and our upbringing... I love my mom more then life losing her is the hardest thing and seeing my dad so lost and broken hearted kills me!! I am soo thankful that my dad is physically ok, it certainly could of been even more horrific! I just pray mom is in no pain and is at peace and knows how much she is loved and respected! Our lives will never be the same there is a whole in our hearts that will never be refilled!! Love you always and forever MOM xo Barbie

So Sorry for your loss, Joanne was a special woman to many. She will be greatly missed, I will cherish my childhood memories growing up with her and her family. love to you all.
