Well it has been a year since my mom passed (not long after my brother.) If you would like to share something about our mother, a funny story, how she impacted your life or anything at all please feel free to leave a comment. I am not sure how many people even view this site anymore, but we have keep some places open for Caleb's friends to still be intentional about there processing (Caleb's facebook page and calebott.com) and we thought mom's friends and family might also find use of such a place.
It still hurts and we still miss her...everyday.
Thank you for your support and prayers.
Our Beautiful Mom

I will check this blog from time to time, and thought that today marked the 1 year anniversary of your mom's passing. I have thought much about her & the many great memories I have of her- all the way back to our vacations together at Camp of the Woods in the early 1960s. Josh, I appreciate what you wrote on "Josh's Spot" last month as March drew closer. While I have not lost a family member as close, I value the times our lives touched each other's, and for that I am truly grateful.
Love,
Bob & Ruth Feiler
Your mother, brother, and whole family are thought of often.
Yes Josh, we still check Mom's Blog. Your family has been in our prayers especially this month. We trust that you continue to experience the comfort of God's grace especially during times when you are "blind-sided" by emotions triggered by the seemingly "little" things in life.
Love Deb and Gary Feiler
Josh, Your Mom and brother are often on my thoughts. We had many of good memories while you boys and Lance were growing up, at baseball games, wrestling matches and other school activities. Everytime I go up by Mahanoy City, I think of the time we go lost going to a wrestling match and kept going past the same things till we finally found someone to get directions.I miss my neighbor, my friend.

So this a very delayed comment, but I thought I'd share something special about Lynne (although she was also "Mrs. Ott" to me :)
Mrs. Ott was the first one to visit us after we moved up to New Hampshire and I'd say she was also our most frequent visitor. I'm pretty sure she was there just a few days after we moved into our new house, she just couldn't stay away! And we always looked forward to her coming to visit! We even dubbed Britt's room as "Lynne's room" because she was there so often. One visit that was extra special to me was in March 2006 just a few weeks after my 17th birthday. She had agreed to drive four of my best friends up to NH to surprise me for a belated birthday celebration. She didn't have to make that long trip with four teenage girls listening to Veggie Tales, but she willingly did! I will never forget that day. Sarah, Allyson, Cara, Michelle and Mrs. Ott all popping out of our pantry closet, I think I stood there screaming for at least a whole minute! She made that birthday one of the most memorable days of my life. I'll never forget her. I miss her and Caleb so much.
She was my mom's best friend and I miss hearing them laugh. I always knew when my mom was talking to Lynne on the phone because she would be laughing uncontrollably, they were quite the pair. We miss her so, so much. I look forward to the day that I can hear her and my mom laughing together again.
Love Always,

I miss her dearly and still cry when I plan to come to PA knowing that she is not there to visit. It makes coming "home" bitter sweet.
I have many, many happy memories. But the most touching memory is still when she cried with me.
My mom passed away July 16, 2005 (My brother's anniversary). I know what you feel. This is getting the time where I start really missing her with the holidays coming up. You will be in my prayers.
Well, it's almost 2 years now... I just refound this site. I still miss my sister - especially on Wed. nights. That's when we use to catch up. I'd drop the kids off at church and then we talk. Usually I talked and she listened. Somedays she'd just help me plan my next lesson for school or we'd rant about soccer coaches or just talk about the joy of getting away from it all watching are kids play sports. I'm thankful for all the memories I have...
