"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.


I’ll love my mother all my days,
For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.


Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom

I love you mom and miss you so much words still cant describe the loss we feel

Your smiles can brighten any moment,
Your hugs put joy in all my days,
Your love will stay with me forever
And touch my life in precious ways...

The values you've taught,
the care you've given,
and the wonderful love you've shown,
have enriched my life
in more ways than I can count.

For everything we shared,
The dreams, the laughter,
And the tears,
I love you with a Special Love
you're always with me...
You're the whisper of the leaves
as I walk down the street, the rays of sun that shine on me.

You live inside my laughter.
you're crystallized in my every tear drop...

Nothing on earth can separate us.

Not time, Not space...
Not even death....
Will ever separate you
from my heart....


Happy Birthday Mom - I miss you so much and still have a hard time realizing that you are gone. I Love You Mommy
xoxoxo - Loving Daughter Sue

Oh Ursula ... it has taken me this long to even come and look and read what is all here on your remberance folder. I still can't believe that you are gone. I still have some of your emails from November in my in box, just because I don't want to delete them or move them on ... like you .... Moved on to a better place, where you can watch over all of the members of your families ... both your own personal one .. the one that we heard so much about and saw so many pictures of. You made me feel like I was part of that family, because I have seen pictures of the kids growing up .. even if the pictures were only 6 months apart.
I miss talking to you ... and hahahaa ... you know I am sure that you hear me too, that this is one thing I seem to do on a daily basis. Yes .. everytime I sit here at the computer, I look to see if you are on my buddylist .. and then when you aren't, I start my daily Hey Ursula conversation. I sure do miss you and all the times we laughed. I miss the help you gave me .. and btw, I do the challenged now in our group because you taught me how to do them .. so gla dthat you did, because you were right .,... I do love doing them and they are so easy and addictive.
If anyone in Ursula's family reads my message ... yes , this is how I talk to your Mom, Grandmother, Aunt just about everyday. It's my way of keeping her memory alive within me, as I hope that you do too. Thank God that we all had her in our lives ..
I miss you girlfriend ... Schlaf im frieden.
Love you .... Trisch

Prayers are being said and sent to Urs dear family . She was a wonderful person and with every comment on this page , she was a great friend .

Urs was a wonderful person and a delightful friend, never did I ask her for a favor or a special tag that she didn't respond right away. Over the years we had many conversations about family and our family here at TnM. Her sense of humor, her devotion to the group, her talent, and the love she had for her family made her her the very special person she was. She will be truly missed. Gena

Even though I just joined the group, it was easy to see from the very first day, that Urs was a beautiful, talented lady, who is loved by everyone. We miss her very much. Hugs, Mary
Heidi (Ursula's Daughter) wrote on December 11th, 2008
I would first like to personally Thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for the friendship you gave to my mom. I'm sure she is so very honored and proud (as is her family) to have this website made especially for her. The groups she belonged to and all her online friends meant more to her then anyone will ever know! And....rest assured she used to talk about all of you LOL! I really am finding so much comfort in reading your comments and listening to the things you all shared with her. Especially the remarks she would come out with! That's My MOM!!!! You've described her to a "T" In fact you probably know her better then alot of her family does! So please feel free to share more with us, it really brings a smile to my face!
Thanks again for being there for my mom, I know for a fact that she felt the same way about all of you as you do for her. You shared a special bond with my mom!
My mom is my best friend..my life..my whole world and the thought of me having to go on without her just leaves an empty void that will never be filled.
You all really made a difference in her life and for that I am very thankful!
God Bless All Of You!
Heidi

It feels empty without seeing Urs here she is so missed ...she has been part of this family for along time ..and her sends and friendliness is what made this family bond ... I had talked to a few members about thinking of having a coffee mug sent to one top sender a month -- I told Ursula she needed to build a shelf because she would more than likely to fill it with her wins ..When I talked to Urs about it I asked her what she would like on the cup ... a flower ? Kittens? or what..Now to show Ursulas Humor , You know what she said ... No !!! done of those ...I want the sexiest man you can find and put on one ... SEE thats our Ursula ... and trust me she sent us ladies some nice shares too ..Ursula was there for me when I lost my bro last Christmas and helped me through a hard time ...Nothing she wouldn't do for anyone ...My love and prayers now go to her beautiful family to get them through this hard time and through the Holidays ... You were all Blessed to have Ursula in your family as we were here In Her TnM family ..She will live in Out hearts forever...

I didnt know you for very long but your wit made me excited about getting to know you better thru time. I know you are in a better place keeping an eye on all your loved ones like you did when you were here. I know you are extremely missed and were very much loved and always will be. You are with my grandmother now so you ladies behave yourself until we see you again!
Greg wrote on December 9th, 2008
Aunt Ursula just want to tell you how much we miss you. May you watch over your Sons and Daughters and Grandaughters for they all need you now more than ever. (Hence the term a mothers work is never done right?) You will be very missed and We love you extremely

Ursula was a sweetheart who never failed to say a kind word to or reach out to help others. When she was being sassy, which was often, she would write to me and call me "Missy"..which made me smile :) She was a bright light in my life.. and will continue to be so in my heart forever. I'll miss her humor and wit. She was definitely loved by so many, which is a testament to her character and heart.
Dee wrote on December 8th, 2008
My Dearest Sis,
I will miss you greatly. If I ever needed a tag to be tagged I knew I could count on you to do it for me. Just like I could count on Deby, too. Thank you for all my naughty tags & a huge thank you for not judging me. You were & always will be a blessing to me. You'll be missed but always loved by me & many others. Be sure & be nice ti St Peter cause the rest of us will be there sooner or later.
Hugs,
Dee
PS Tell Arlene (key2myheart50e) hello & you two quit teasing us beginners about our tags. LOL

I was so sorry to hear of Ursula`s passing. She made the most beautiful tags. I copied all of them. She was a beautiful, special lady and will be missed by all of us.
MIKE HOLDER wrote on December 8th, 2008
HELLO EVERYONE, THE NEWS LAST WEEK OF URSULA'S PASSING WAS A VERY SAD MOMENT TO ME. URS BECAME AN INSTANT FRIEND OF MINE WITH HER FIRST NOTE OF WELCOME TO TNM. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THE MEMBERS OF THIS GREAT LIST. MOST OF THEM I HAVE BECOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH. URS WAS ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS.

IN USING THE NATIVE AMERICANS AS A STEPPING STONE TOWARDS HONORING HER. SHE SAW GOOD IN ALL MEMBERS, SHE LOOKED BEYOND AND FOUND SOMETHING IN EVERYONE OF US TO BE PRAISED FOR. SHE MADE A LOT OF TAGS FOR ME, OF WHICH I COULD NOT PICK OUT ANY ONE IN PARTICULAR AND SAY THAT IT WAS OR IS MY FAVORITE. I HAVE A FILE ON MY COMPUTER THAT SYMBOLIZES EVERY TAG THAT I HAVE RECEIVED IN MY 10 YEARS PLUS OF BEING ONLINE AND IN GROUPS. ALL OF THEM ARE SPECIAL TO ME IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY ABOUT URSULA IS NOT A VERY EASY TASK IN ITSELF. I THINK THAT EVERY COMPLIMENTARY WORD WOULD FIT HER TO A T. SHE WAS A VERY UNDERSTANDING LADY WHO CARED ABOUT PEOPLES FEELINGS AND RESPECTED EVERYONE. SHE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OF US, VERY MUCH.

I HAVE ATTACHED THREE SONGS, ALL BY NATIVE AMERICANS. THEY ARE SONGS THAT I FEEL THAT WILL TRIBUTE URS A LOT. THE FIRST ONE IS BY A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A MUSKOGEE CREEK INDIAN IN FLORIDA. HIS NAME IS BILLY WHITEFOX. HE PLAYS THE NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE AND ALSO MAKES HIS OWN FLUTES. HE WROTE THE SONG THAT I HAVE INCLUDED FOR HIS GRANDMOTHER AT HER FUNERAL. THE SONG IS JOURNEY TO THE HEAVENS. THE SECOND SONG IS BY A LADY WHO WAS VERY POPULAR AS A FOLK SINGER, THEN SHE WENT BACK TO HER NATIVE CHEROKEE HERITAGE AND STARTED A GROUP WITH HER SISTER AND NEICE, THE LADY IS RITA COOLIDGE AND THE GROUP IS WALELA, THE SONG IS CHEROKEE MORNING SONG. THE THIRD SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT IS BY R CARLOS NAKAI AND HIS VERSION OF AMAZING GRACE. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT AS I DO. THE LAST TAG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND THANK YOU DEE FOR MAKING IT FOR ME SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE WORDS MEAN WALK IN PEACE MY FRIEND. THIS I WISH UPON EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF MINE

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

HUGS

MIKE

Ursula, we met on CWC (Classes with Class) learning new stuff in PSP and we had a blast. Your sense of humour is one thing I am going to miss my friend, and all the little comments you would send my way! I miss you, and will never forget you!

Barb wrote on December 8th, 2008
Although it's been a few years since I've been with the list, I will never forget Ursula. She was one of the first people I met when I started PSP, and if I had a question I could always ask her. She never had a bad word, and if I ended up MIA for a while she would IM or email me just to see if I was alright. She started me in Tagged (the social website), so I am going to add a message there in her honor.

Ursula, please know you are missed and loved by more people that you realize. You touched my heart and now you take a piece of it with you. Rest easily, you are one of God's angels now.

Urs I am so sad I only knew you for a short time. You made me feel happy when I was sad. You brightened my life so much. Now I know your light still shines even more in heaven. I miss you so much.
Deby wrote on December 7th, 2008
Missy,
You were and are my best friend and I will miss you terribly. You have taught me so much about love and life, I will carry your teachings with me forever. Know that I love you and I will be seeing you on the other side one day and then we're going to be painting the town red woman. So don't be doing anything I wouldn't do until I get there. I love you Deby

My Heart breaks writing this,

Urs, always helped me when I needed help. She never said no or I cannot
she helped no matter what, The day she took sick I received an email from her.
I miss you URS.
Gone But Never Forgotten my Friend,
Rest in Peace

Ray wrote on December 7th, 2008
Urs was a delight to know, even though
it was just online for me. She would
usually respond to most things I sent
to the group and as often as not would
do a little jabbing at me. I will certainly miss her witty comments and most of all the beautiful work she sent to the group. ...Ray
