Time goes by  / Kathleen Creed (wife)

Gerald J.

It has been over 4 years since you left us alone but I have finally moved on with my life and I am very happy....and I know that you are happy for me...The kids have all moved out and gone out on their own and now it is my turn to enjoy my life...No more sitting in a dark corner dressed in black mourning what might have been.

I am happy now for the first time in a long time and I have someone to share my old age with.  I have someone who cares for me and who I care for very much.

You will always share a special part in my heart but now so does he.

Love ya

Christmas 08  / Kathleen Creed (Wife)

Gerald J.....It is Christmas once again and this makes Number 4 since you left and it hasn't gotten any easier...I know deep down in my heart that you are in a far better place, but things aren't the same without you and the holidays just don't mean the same...I am happy that I finally found the ornaments we had all those years.  I knew you would never have thrown them out but they were just hiding in plain sight, first in the garage in Rahway and then in the garage here.  They set on the same shelf in both garages, and nobody could see them...They haven't made it on the tree yet, but they will.

I wish you Merry Christmas and wanted you to know that I think of you all the time and miss you terribly.

All My love Always,

Kath

MISS YOU  / KATHLEEN CREED (WIFE)

GERALD J.......What can I say, but that I miss you so much and wish you were here.  As I drive down the road, I see so many reminders of you, especially license plates with your initials...Sometimes I think you do this to me on purpose..  The kids think you would love it here in Florida since it is warm and you would not have to worry about the room being cold and having to close the door....That is what all the kids remember best is Gramps yelling closing that door....I think you would love to be outside on the lanai enjoying the sunlight but I guarantee you would have figured a way to put a tv out there so you didn't miss your history channel or the news...

It's Mothers Day again and I was thinking so much of your Mom and you, but I know that you are both in heaven with all the rest of the family and enjoying being together.......but Gerald J., I wish you were here with me in Florida, in this house that we picked out some years ago......

Time to say Good night, and remember I love you and miss you always.

Love,

 

Kath

HAPPY 65TH BIRTHDAY, GERALD J......  / Kathy Creed (Wife)

Jer, If only.....I can't believe you would have been 65 today, and more than that, I can't believe you aren't here......but I need to wish you a Happy Birthday on this very special one.  Had to buy a new bed for me last week, so we decided that we sent the Pillow Top to mattress heaven, so I hope you can enjoy it up there..  It broke my heart to let it go, but it wasn't working for me....Well, now I will be able to collect your pension from Electrolux....Don't worry Jer, I won't be spending that in too many places......Oh Gerald J., I wish you were here... I miss you so very very much....All the kids were here a few weeks ago and we spoke of you so often and wished so much you were here.  Anthony said you would have enjoyed the warm weather and the lanai would have been your favorite place, but I know for a fact, that you would have figured out a way to have a tv out there......You couldn't miss the news and the History Channel...But Will has taken up watching that now...Joey said that we the warm weather you would not have to yell about closing the door to keep the heat downstairs....

The house is really looking good and I think you would be happy to see it.  I know you are happy for me that I am happy to be here, but it would have been so much nicer with you here, too.........

Happy Birthday, Gerald J., I love you and miss you so much.

All my love always,

Kath

Merry Christmas  / Kathy Creed (Wife)
Gerald J., I know you are in heaven with Jesus Christ again this year, but I can't help but be selfish and wish you were still down here.  Willie and Lisa sent balloons to you today and wished you Merry Christmas and told you how much they love and miss you.  
As we spend our first Christmas in our new home in Florida, the only thing I wish is that you were here to share it with us.  We all miss you so very much.  This is the third Christmas without you and it isn't any easier with the passing of time....but I sure wish you would tell me what you did with our decorations, I still haven't found them and I can't believe you would have thrown them out, not you...As you look down from heaven tonight, know that we are looking back at you and wishing with all our hearts that we could spend one more day with you.  I never got to say goodbye and for that I am truly sorry...Jerry, we could have had such a nice life here in this house, it just isn't the same without you.....Give my best wish and love to all of those who are there with you, my grandmothers, my aunts, my uncles, your parents, your aunt and uncles and Suzie, I can't believe she is gone...Merry Christmas, Gerald J., I miss you and I love you.  I hope you like the decorations and lights on the house, since I know how much you loved the holidays...Just think, here you don't have to worry about it being too cold to put up lights or take them down......Oh, Jerry, I wish you were here.

All of my love always,

Kath Close

I miss you  / Kathleen Creed (wife)
Grace has been here for a few days and it was great to have a familiar face in this house and you were the topic of several conversations...I miss you, Gerald J....Every where I drive I see cars with GJC or JC or GC or GKC, I know you are doing this so I don't forget, but I don't......Think of you all the time and wish to hell you were here...it would have been great...Christmas is coming again and this will be the third one without you....Doesn't seem fair that you aren't here....You would have loved Shawn's reaction to things, he is quite a character and Willie and Lisa are growing up so much every day.....Julia referred to me as the "old lady", that's hard to imagine that I am just that...

Hopefully I am heading north next week to see the rest of the kids, I do miss them every day and I need to stop by to see you at St. Gerts...I miss stopping by to see you....

Love ya, Jer, and miss you....Always,

The Threes  / Kathy Creed (Wife)
Gerald J.....we are now in the threes....this is the third Labor Day since you went to heaven....and the first one in my new house....the house you should be here in, too......Sure could use your help here now hanging up curtains and pictures and oh, your favorite, shelves....need lots and lots of them, dear Gerald J.  Some people would have done anything to get out of packing and moving..and unpacking....You always said you wouldn't be here to do that and you sure kept your word on that one....I miss going up to speak to you at St. Gert's but I know you are here with me....

Happy Labor Day 07

Love ya and miss ya,

Florida / Kathy Creed (wife)
Hi Gerald J.....yeah I am finally in Florida but it would have been so nice if you were here too....We are living in the house you and I picked out and I love the house, but I miss ya...It's been 2 years since you left but time doesn't heal all wounds....no matter what people say....Just came back from seeing Aunt Elizabeth and I won't be surprised if she is on her way to heaven to be with the rest of her family....
The kids are settling in the new house and in their new school...

Easter Number Two  / Kathleen Creed (wife)
Gerald J.  It's Easter once again, the second one without you and now there is a new baby who will never get to meet you...Jerry, I am so sure that you are in a far better place and out of pain, but we still miss you every day and especially on holidays and special occasions.
You should have been with us when Gianna came into the world.  Joey told me how he talks to you and he always sends his balloons up to heaven for you.  Anthony speaks of you all the time and Willie, Lisa, Shawn and I stop by to see you, but it doesn't take the pain away that you aren't here with us.  I hope that Easter find you with all your family and mine and friends that went before you...Give all my love to Little Gram, Aunt Katherine, Aunt Jean, Aunt Dot, Aunt Helen, your Mom and Dad, Jeffrey, and all the others that have played a part in my life, but mostly I send my love to you.  
The weather isn't going to permit us to go to Seaside, so maybe we will go for Mother's Day, but we will be thinking of you now matter what.  It would have been nice to spend my last Easter in NJ at a place we went to for so many years.
All My Love Always along with love from the kids,
Kath Close

Thinking of you  / Kathlene Ammoscato (Daughter)
Uncle Jerry, 

just wanted to Thank you for Looking over my sister and the new addition to our family. Justine gave bith to a beautiful baby Girl Gianna Lynn at 12:12 pm  7lbs 12 oz. I just you were here with us to watch her grow. Love you lot and missing you more and more everyday Close

I Love You  / Kathleen Creed (Wife)
Gerald J......What can I say besides that I miss you and wish you were here..The kids and I stopped at St. Gert's today to say hi and tell you how much we love and miss you...but I can't get you off my mind and I was just sitting here crying and thinking of you.  
I hope you are happy and enjoying all your family and friends.  The family and friends here sure think of you always and miss you and time doesn't heal all wounds.....
As a new life enters into this family, I wish nothing more than you to be here to greet her, but hopefully you can see from up there..
And as you know, the house is up for sale after 31 years of living here...but Jer, it is too hard to live here.  I need to move on and this house has too many memories to live with day in and day out..My only wish that you were here to make this move with me, but you knew that would never happen...You always said, I would move to Florida and you would go to Mt. Olivett, will it ain't Mt. Olivett where you are, but it is a cemetery...Florida is where you knew I would go, but Jer, I wish you were here to go along for the ride...It could be the ride of a lifetime, but not without you...
Oh Gerald J., I miss you and I love you ----always.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me  / Kathlene Ammoscato (Daughter)
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.








I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.









And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,









He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?









So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
