My thoughts are with them.I lost my mom 5yrs ago and still miss her every single day.*4u - Marie

To dear Shirlene and Teri my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you both. Love and blessings Chris

yes my friends we are thinking but more important praying for you & yours carolyn

My thoughts are with you both.

Jerri, you are a dear friend - thank you for remembering Teri and myself. My loss of my Mother was very difficult and I did speak to Teri that very night - she was great support for me and then when she lost her dear sweet grandmother Queen Esther - that was such a shock. We keep in touch and she may be on and see this tomorrow or the next day. I have had warm thoughts of the whole CUTE family on my mind the last day or so and I know that is coming from my dear sweet Mother - I looked through the postings just last night and was filled with love and Grace for the way that you all respected her and treated her. THANK YOU all for your love, support, kindness and sweet friendship through this last year. Rick and I so appreciate at you each. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

Jerri, thank you for reminding us. It sure doesn't seem like a year has passed. Teri & Shirlene you have my deepest respect and continued prayers, as this year has been a tough one for both of you to be without Miss Loretta and Queen Esther.

Shirlene and Teri, you and your families are in my thoughts, a year has flown by, it seems like yesterday that both of you posted your losses here. I often think of miss Loretta and Queen Esther. Love and hugs Carla

Shirlene and Teri. It's been a hard year for both of you and some other cuties here. But every night when you look at the sky and you see twinkling stars, you will be remembered to the ones we love ( I lost both my parents 30 years ago). These stars are the windows of heaven, the place where our dear loved ones are now. Hugs and love for you!

My all the prayer go out to the both of you. Wish I could do and say more. DeVon

Shirlene & Teri - I think you both know I think of you often, and hope today was a day of fond and good memories, despite it as a year ago we all felt your loss. Special hugs to you.

And thank you Jerri - for putting this here for all of us to reflect.

Thanks jerrib for posting to remind us about Shirlene's mother and Teri's grandmother. Shirlene thanks for posting all the beautiful pictures of your mother. The past year has been a difficult one for you, the coming year must be better

My thoughts are with both of you. God Bless you

I did not have the privilege of knowing Miss Loretta, but I have had the pleasure of getting to know (online) her wonderful daughter Shirlene. I think she must have been an amazing women to have such a beautiful daughter. So Shirlene and Terri my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for both Shirlene and Teri. I know others have lost loved ones, but I have become close to Shirlene this last year. I live in British Columbia Canada, but I feel I have a close friend in Shirlene, even tho we have never met. That is why this site is so wonderful.
I am sure all our thoughts and prayers are with all cuties who have lost loved ones this past year.
May God put his loving arms around all of you and give you a warm hug.

Thanks Jerri! You're very sweet to remember our loved ones! Even though QE was my GM, she raised me and was more of my Mother/best friend. I miss her dearly

You asked in one of your responses how she got her name Queen Esther... my GM was a Sephardic Jew by birth and was named after Queen Esther of the bible. She also was quite the classy gal in her time and actually looked like she stepped out of Vogue magazine most days. My Grandfather treated her like she truly was the Queen Esther of his life

I miss you Mammina! xoxo

Thanks for sharing. It is very hard to loose a mother. My mother died in 2005. Bless all those who have lost that special mom.

Thank you both for sharing your memories and photos of your Mom's. This day of remembering is probably very heavy in your hearts. I miss both of my parents and think of them every day.

I am sew very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother Shirlene & your grandmother Teri. These women leave a void in our lives when they pass but the love & the memories that we have will help to fill that void. I believe that ANGELS truly are amoung us, & help us when we need them most sew I am sending you both an angel to wrap you in the love & prayers that come your way via all of us Cuties.
