Wife To Larry Hunsinger
Mother To Lisa McQuade & Michael S. Kirkpatrick
Grandmother ( Nana ) To Edison & Madison McQuade & Joshua, Alex & Kiley Kirkpatrick
She Was Loved and Will Be Remembered By All Who Knew Her
May She Rest In Peace
One of the most devistating things in our life has happened. On Sunday Jan 20, 2008 Our mother Milagros C. Hunsinger (Kookie to some, Millie to most) suffured an anurism in the area of her brain stem. This anurism caused her to have a truamatic stroke. The doctors at U of M opperated feaverishly to try and releave some of the pressure and remove the large clot that had formed. The doctors were able to stop the bleeding and remove a large portion of the clot. Though successful in the operation, the damage done by both the stroke and clot were irreversable. Doctor stated that nomore than a vegitative state could be expected, at best.
On Tuesday Jan 22, 2008, with the guidence and love that my mother would have wanted, the choice was made to remove the very equipment that was keeping her alive and allow her to be in peace.
At 3:58pm on the January 22nd our mother passed away.
She was such a wonderful woman, wife and mother. She gave everything she had, and her soul if possible, to her freinds and family. I ask you all this one thing, morn her only for a minute, but remember how she lived and loved all of us forever.
She loved her husband Larry. He was one of the best things that has ever happened to her. The light in her eyes shinned so bright at the very mention of him. Together, they were an example of how two halves of one soul will always find their way home together.
Her greatest achievement in her life was the family she created.
As a grandmother her love was insurmountable. Our greatest thought when she died was that Kiley, born weeks prior, was able to feel her and hear her voice. She love all of her grandchildren more than life itself. Though most of her grandchildren are too young to really comprehend where Grandma or "Nana" went, they will grow up knowing enough of her, that it would be as if she had been there their whole life.
As a mother, no words can describe her. She loved us so much. My only comfort now is knowing that she was able to see that her hard work and undying love to us has grown into the families that we now have.
There arent enough words to describe what she ment to us. She was our mother and our best friend. We will miss her, but most of all, We will remember her and live our life as best and better than she would want us to do.
MOM, WE LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL FOREVER LIVE WITHIN OUR HEARTS.
Your mother is always with you...
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach
in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow
when you're not well.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place you came from,
your first home...
She's the map you follow
with every step that you take.
She's your first love
and your first heart break...
and nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, Not space...
Not even death...
will ever separate you
from your mother...
You carry her inside of you
The Tree of Life
by Lisa O. Engelhardt
If I could grow a tree for you,
I'd water it with tears,
And nurture it with memories
gathered through the years
Grounded in firm values
this tree would find its roots
And from its legacy of love
would grow the sweetest fruits.
Ever branching outward,
its canopy would swell,
A living, loving tribute
to a life lived full and well.
Finally, its leaves would reach
the floor of heaven, and then
I'd climb up on its branches...
just to hold you once again.
These Tears
I used to wonder why God made us cry.
Why do these tiny drops come from one's eye?
Sometimes when one cries, it's because you're either happy or sad.
In this case, it's both, and it's the most I have had.
I have joy knowing my mom will once again be with me
For now these tears of joy act as my remedy.
The other tears I now create
Come from knowing how long I just may have to wait.
It's like I was given a gift that was taken away
And told I will once again receive it, just not today.
As I write this, I shed tears of both joy and sorrow.
I wonder which tears will be visiting tomorrow?
Although I won't run out, I would still give them all away.
It's worth every tear
Just to see my mom again some day.

Hi Mom.. Its Me Again...
Just came to say hello,
I miss you mom so very much,
more then you'll ever know.
I see your face almost every night,
in every twinkling star.
I feel that you're still with me,
whether it be near or far.
I know you didn't want to die,
but a part of me died too.
Ill never be the same again,
because I don't have you.
Remember when I called you, mom,
it was almost every day.
But you just kept on talking,
you never pushed me away.
I wish that I could turn back time,
if only for one day.
So I could hold you in my arms,
and kiss your tears away.
I will always remember you mother,
even though we're far apart,
and the love I have for you,
will remain within my heart.
