Jamaica breezes
Here is a pic of my sister and I on the cruise to Jamaica. I love this picture because we had so much fun! It was after our horses ran around in the surf for about 20 minutes. I was exhausted but it's a memory I will always cherish!

Sad news. To anyone reading Felicias Blog, on the evening of July 21st, 2007 Felicia quietly passed away in her sleep in a hospice facility in Rochester. After a long and courageous battle against breastcancer she has left us.
Everyone who knew her loved her! And I cannot figure out how I am going to live my life without her. I just keep asking for just one more day.
With love to you my little pinky! Remember if there is a computer there where you are post us a comment on this blog. I'll be watching for you!
Love your big sister
Mary
We love you sis and will think about you everyday. If they've got the internet wherever you are I hope you've not on dial-up anymore. :)
Miss you everyday.

What an incredible person Felicia was. To all who did not get the opportunity to know her, I'm sorry. She fought a long & difficult battle with breast cancer. In all that time, I never heard her complain. She always had a smile on her face & so much understanding & patience with others. I foolishly complained about my ordinary, boring life and she would listen and offer an encouraging word. She was an example for all others. I will remember her all my life. Flea, wherever you are I hope you are skinny & please ask your loving, beautiful sister to stop making me cry. Donna
It's difficult getting through these days since we lost you my Sunflower Diva Goddess! Whenever something funny pops in my head or I see something that reminds me of you, I want so bad to pick up the cell and text you. Who's going to watch those cheesy cable shows via long distance and critique them with me late at night when everyone else is asleep. I'm so proud of you and the courage you showed during this fight. You were so brave and dear. Always making everyone else feel at ease. That part of you that was also part of me is an aching hole in my heart that my brain just refuses to accept and understand. I want to fill your email box with all the reasons why I miss you and try to find that cosmic connection to you so we can just have one more chat. I am thankful that I at least had you in my life for 20 short years. I will always have the funny "Felicia stories" to repeat over and over so that your memory will always live on with a warm smile. Most of all I'm blessed to have been able to spend a week with you before you passed away. We goofed around, ate lots of "healthy" junk, talked non-sense and seriously and said our good byes in our own way. "If I get to heaven first, I'll greet you at the pearly gates...and "If you get to heaven first, then you will greet me!" I'm counting on that my beautiful angel. You got an exclusive invitation to the best party in town and the rest of us had to stay behind at this lame party. Endless jelly donuts with zero calories. Save some cake for me...you know how I love the butter cream frosting. I love you and miss you sooooo much. GG
Hey Flea,
You came to me in a dream the other night! It was a beautiful day, in a lovely park somewhere. The breeze was blowing and your hair was long, shiny and a gorgeous chestnut brown color. You kept telling how happy you were to see me. You were radiant -- so healthy and happy. I followed you to a lake where you were fly fishing! You were casting the rod so effortessly -- I was mesmerized by the arc and flow of the line you were creating.
Great, great dream. I hope you visit me again!!
Love,
Maria
It's been 9 months to the day that we lost you my sunflower goddess. I can still see your face and hear your voice. The days are getting easier and I am keeping myself busy with school and other projects. I no longer sweat the small stuff. Any obstacle that comes my way, I just think to myself "If Felicia can handle it, so can I!" One day at a time my gorgeous one. I miss you so much. Jim and I have now taken up the phone ritual. I text him with silly day-to-day things (he hasn't figured out the text reply system, nor does he really want to) he does enjoy reading them though. We talk for hours on the phone every Saturday night. His sense of humor is coming back and we laugh long and hard more and more often. Your name pops up constantly...as it should. You were with us half our life. There aren't too many things that don't have a Felicia-ism attached to it. Uncle Fritz is still around. He now lets Jim pet is head and back and he has a set routine of voice and gestures. He is a charming little fellow. I love and miss you. GG
Still waiting for your post, will be waiting for you the rest of my life. I looked and looked and found this blog address for Tina, I'm so glad she brought it up, cause I'm missin you somethin awful and I feel close to you again reading your words of hope, love and faith. You would have loved the last ER!
Tina says Jim is doing well, I know you are glad, so am I...we were so worried about him.
I love you little pinky and miss you with all my heart. You wouldnt believe how many things you find about Felicia Volkmar when you google your name.
Love Mary
Two years later the love birds have been reunited. Jimmy joined his beloved Felicia in heaven and the rest is history...
Old age was never in the cards for these two and my heart aches over the loss, and at the same time it is at peace knowing they are together...forever young and in love.
Spent a long day thinking of you and Jim on July 21 this year. Time passes so quickly it is hard to believe you have been gone for 5 years and Jim 3? You two have left an empty hole in my heart that I continuously fill with memories of our times together and I pray that you are together and happy as you both deserve to be! Just checking in, read this to Jim for me Flea, I miss you both, I wish I had spent more time with him after you left. If wishes were kisses I would have you both here right now.

Not a day goes by when I don't try to do something silly to make someone laugh. I learned that from the best! We miss you terribly but we hope you're enjoying you're time away. The hole you left will never heal but we've got good family and friends to help for now.
I think this is more for me than it is for you but whatever, you left so you're in trouble when I see you! Love ya bunches sis!
