well here it is july 4 2019 I remember the good old days when we wanted to watch fire works together down by lake Michigan and brought our two sons Brian jr and Ricky along everyone was happy.I miss you my beautiful wife everyday . we always had a cook out at our home with good food made by you . I miss those days now .I feel so lucky that I got to be the lucky guy you chose to say yes to when I asked to marry you. you were so beautiful and so fine you could have had anyone you wanted. but I won out over them all and had the best years of my life with you. today I sit here alone there will be no cook out no party no friends and relatives over. the good times are gone now. I just miss you so much now my baby my honey honey the love of my life . my soul mate then and now and forever.I can sense you are with me at different times . your spirit your energy all so strong .now your son Richard Lee has crossed to join you. I would give anything for another day with you my love. missing you more than words can describe.

Well today nov 16 last year this was the last day I got to spend with my beautiful kind and intelligent wife Roxie . how I wish i could have this day back a year ago .and some how save her life .I think about her everyday morning noon and nite . its been a year with out you love and I hate being alone here in our dream home that we both loved so much. I so much want you back but know that cant be. at times I feel you are near me and telling me things. I so many times since losing you have asked God just protect her lord as long as shes safe and in a good place by you . I try to move ahead in life now with out you. but find myself missing your good advice and help when a problem arises . I will ask out loud Honey what do you think I should do? and hope for some sign from you .your kittys that you loved so dear they all miss Mom. they look for you and if I bring out something you once wore they run up and sniff it reconizing it was yours .we all miss you. I am so empty today thinking of every minute I can remember of the events of this day one year ago. I never expected our journey through life would be cut short so early . I know you always said were together forever and then reunite in heaven . so when my time comes youll be there waiting for me . with all my love .I miss you so much .

Today was our 19 th wedding anniversary baby doll. I really miss you today. we were together 26 yrs as of today married 19 of them. I know you planned on us renewing our vows and taking pictures at the event. how I wish we could still do that. there will be no cards or flowers today no gifts no hugs and kisses. but I will still think of you and remember the great life we had together. the places we went the things we said and did together. the touch of your hands the look of beauty in those brown eyes that sparkled so bright . the beautiful smile you had. the sweet voice I long to hear saying I love you to me. You were SO SPECIAL there will never be another like you. I remember telling you how all I ever wanted to do was just to make you HAPPY. give you the love you deserved and things in life you wanted. you were such a good person nobody knew you like I did. I thank God for being able to be with you and take care of you for the years we were together.I learned so much from you. I think back and cherish the memories I have of our life together. I still cant belive your gone....I look over in the morning and almost think I can see you sleeping there next to me. your kittys they miss you also. they lay in your chair or on your side of the bed waiting for you to return. some days are better some are worse today is a sad day for me. My lover, my Best Friend, my Soul Mate isn't here with me today....how I wish I could have you back again. we shall meet up again like you always said in Heaven. I pray to God and ask Jesus to comfort you and keep your soul safe with him. we are all going on with this life on earth .but when its done I want to be with you again for eternity. LOVE YOU your husband Brian ALWAYS YOURS.

back in November you had asked me to pick up two shrimp trays from the grocery store. you loved shrimp cocktail they come already cooked and frozen with a cup of sauce for dipping them in. before you passed away that week you took one out and thawed it in the fridge. you said one nite as we watched tv honey would you bring me my shrimp tray I got a taste for them. and I did and as we sat on the king size bed watching tv you started in on the shrimp . I remember you started handing me one after another as well as you eating them . I said honey why are you giving me so many these are your favorite there suppose to be for you. and you turned to me and said "but you like em too" and at that we shared the tray. recently I thawed out your other tray and ate them myself. I said out loud baby these are for you and me Im eating some for you too. you used to say remember the first time we had these ? and I did at was back in the early 90's at the Holiday Inn hotel on the lake harbor side before it was an express it was full service we stayed there we had dinner there at the resturaunt and swam in the beautiful pool. nothing was too good for my beautiful lady. you would say "your the one who turned me on to these shrimp cocktail now I love this stuff. you also would tell me how much you loved it when I took you to the fancy restaurant the CASINO TOWN HOUSE its gone long since too now it was on Sheridan rd by the also gone old st catherines hospital the place was soooo nice and high class we went there and you had surf and turf for the first time (steak and lobster tail) youd say to me I love this lobster tail you just created a monster here . I never had this till we went here. we ended up having that at the outback steak house on wakkii beach in Honolulu Hawaii. on our honeymoon and also out on fishermans warf in SF calif. at the famous ALLIOTAS restaurant.you were so happy and so was I. God I miss you baby . so many great memories with you . and im thankfull we took so many pictures .we were going to grow old here together in our big beautiful house that you decorated so superbly. now I dont know whats next for me.its just not the same here anymore . I love you my honey honey.I miss you so very much. how I wish you were here again.

Today I met Sue and Nick at the dells antique mall. we went to that little café and had coffee and a sandwhich. as I drove out I remembered me and you leaving there together after seeing them back in the summer. we went the wrong way and ended up going into some park and I had to turn around . we laughed about it . saying where was that road going to lead us??? as I passed that same road I wished it was that day again. I miss you so much everything I do reminds me of you. every building I pass in Adams and Friendship I think of when me and you went there . and wish it was that day all over again. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABY I CANT STOP THINKING OF YOU. I WANT YOU BACK. YOU HAD A LIFE . YOU HAD PLANS, YOU WERENT READY TO GO YET. ITS SO WRONG ,ITS SO VERY UNFAIR . AND SADLY I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND IT JUST HURTS ME SO MUCH.

Roxie was a lady with a larger than life personality.
She had a good sense of judgment about people. Not a lot got by her because she was very perceptive. I remember she liked to take soup to the Shalom Center in Kenosha. She had a big heart and wanted happiness for everyone around her. Miss you, Rox!

the person who loved me most . the one who was always looking out for me. if I was working outside she'd get up and check on me "are you ok out there everything alright she'd ask" she always watched out for me ."did you take your pills for today ? she'd ask if i was getting upset working on something she'd tell me walk away just walk away for a bit.if i was carrying in heavy grocery bags she'd yell to my son "JR help your Dad" or if no one else was here she'd offer to hold the door for me" such a sweet thoughtful person she was i miss he so very much. she wanted shoes off at the door of her new house and I still respect that and say see honey shoes off just like you told us to do.my baby I love you so much . life doesnt seem worth living much any more since your gone but I have to just push on I guess.

During this Christmastide...it is always a difficult time to think of things that make the heart sad and distressed. when I open the card from Brian that said Roxie had died .....I was surprised and not the bit expecting this sort of thing from the Batt family. Roxie and I knew each other as nurse and patient so many years ago. we formed a long distance friendship that kept up through the years. It was a special one that helped us to learn about each other as well as help each other as we in our journeys in life .while we may have been dis-similar in specific like /dislikes. we shared many thoughts about life that were like sisters for life. Roxie was a special lady.ho I will miss my annual Christmas letter from and our one year long distance telephone call from. I missed it this year but will get her when I see her in Heaven soon. Our sincere condolences to all the Family and friends of my Dear Soul Sister Roxie and Dear Brian may the Loving Lord be with you in these days going forward. and grant you his Grace and Mercy...

Roxie used to carry a little cassette tape recorder with her that she had recorded he favorite songs on. she had the roller skate song written by Melanie Safka in 1973 she was 12 yrs old back then she'd skate up and down the side walk playing her skater music that she loved. that song was BRAND NEW KEY." I gotta a brand new pair of roller skates you got a brand new key. I think that we should get together and try them out you see" she was just the sweetest girl you ever saw. she also played her other favorite an older song from 1967 sung by the Yong bloods band called GET TOGETHER also known as LETS GET TOGETHER she didn't like people picking on others or bullying them . she wanted everyone to get along . the song went "come on people now ,smile on your brother ,everybody get together try to love one another right now....the song was an appeal for peace and brotherhood ,love vs fear...Her and I also loved the ideas of the song LOVE train where they appeal to all the different races and nations to get on board the LOVE TRAIN they say please dont miss this train at the station ...cuz if you miss it..I feel sorry, sorry for you. that was the world Roxie wanted for everyone . a world with out hate. she worked hard to make it that way all her life.

Roxie liked to roller skate as a young girl in Kenosha. she had her fancy skates in her own custom skate case. her and her brother couldn't wait to go to Reds Roller Rink in Kenosha. theyd clean the house spotless and make the parents breakfast in bed just to get them to let them go skating on Saturdays. roxie got very good skating she loved to skate to the different songs they played. she watched roller derby on tv and dreamed of being like the tough girl played by Raquel welch in the fabulous thunderbirds. she loved taking pictures and spoke often of wanting to be a professional photographer. we have book cases full of photo albums of all fine work behind the camera. our vacations were well documented thanks to her pictures. she just loved new born bab have glowing pictures of her holding babies the glow on her face and love in her eyes was so sweet I just wanted to hug and kiss her myself. what a special lady she was . she's so missed by so many.

I remember when Roxie worked with the handicap kids as a volunteer at jane Vernon school in Kenosha wi. she had a brother with cerebral palsy and wanted to help those who were stricken with the different things. she did the swim class . giving many hours of enjoyment to many small sick kids they loved her. she had track and field and red cross swim awards and patches and ribbons for different place finishes in events. she received an art award on stage at Mckinley jr high which she was attending in 1975-1976 year programs. she loved animals and recued many stray cats and kittens and found homes for all of them. she liked to fish but not to clean em. she'd find a guy to do it for her. she used to decorate her house and yard on 27 th street in Kenosha for every holiday . x-mas and Halloween were especialy well done. the Kenosha new came out and took a photo of her Halloween decorations and put the color photo in the newspaper that year.Roxie and Brian enjoyed there lives together in that small house on 38th ave and 27 th street they were married in there house there on 2-14-1999 lovers married on Valentines day.they loved week end trips to the dells in wis. and bought there retirement home in the town of Springville in adams co. wi. 20 miles north of the dells. Roxie decorated that home just immaculately every one who walked in would remark WOW is this NICE IN HERE !!she had that magic touch. she helped take very good care of her grandmother Josephine Fries who she loved so dearly . grandma was more of a mother to me than my actual mother she would tell people. they have photo books and videos of granny as she called her enjoying her time with her grand daughter Roxie. at her home and on trips to the dells grandma was proud to show off her things she bought in the dells to the other villa nova residents. a master cook she made the greatest holiday meals her special potato salad was a favorite as was her tuna salad. she loved to go for a ride on the Harley or in the car even down fish rd in adams co. where deer and horses were seen in fields off the road. she'd take phots of them . she liked a horse who had his stall by the road she'd stop the car and call to him "Mr ED Mr ED and he would respond coming up to the fence to where the car was. she liked to be at here house in adams co. she said I enjoy my home I'm so comfortable here. she will be FOREVER MISSED BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS . not a day goes by that I dont think about her. She just toughed so many lives in a positive and good way.

So unexpected I just don't believe it. We talked for hours on the phone the night before. The phone went dead so we never said goodbye. I will always cherish our friendship. A great soul full of compassion & fire all at the same time. I will so miss you. I talk with Brian he is just flat out lost. This still has not hit me. I think cuz we spoke for so long and there was no indicators. Or maybe cuz your with me. I wish you peace and may memories of you comfort Brian. I miss you my friend.

Roxie had some troubles with her feet she went to UW Hospital they did a test and said she had some nerve damage . so she was staying in her bed more because her feet bothered her. Dad and myself were watching the packers bears game from Chicago on the big tv in the living room. roxie had her bed room tv on with the game too. we were all happy when she decided to join us out in the living room for the game . she had her clay Mathews no. 52 jersey on for good luck she said .she had got it from the lambeau field pro shop paying $100 for it and she was proud of that fact. that it was a NFL official jersey she sat in her personal recliner and we all cheered on the packers. and they won too. even her 3 cats all came by where we were sitting and stayed there with us. she said at the end wow that was really nice we all got to sit here together and watch the packers win the game with Hundley at QB . yes that memory was a good one she was happy Dad was happy and so was I. we will miss that lovely lady bringing her good luck and charm to the games in the future

Rox was a really kind hearted person .I was at pick and save in Kenosha shopping with her . when she noticed a very young girl in womans cart reaching for the bags of apples. the toddler was saying "apple mama apple" no no the mother said we cant afford to get those today. Rox thought about it and grabbed a bag of apples and hurried up front to where the woman and child were at the check out. she said Ill get these for them give the little girl an apple. the lady was surprised and happy telling her "oh thank you so much" yes that was classic Roxie. yes I never forgot that day for some reason she was always willing to help even a stranger if she could .she wasn't looking for praise she just was being "HERSELF

Marvin died on 01/27/2013 at age 93 Roxie took it very hard as did Brian. she used to help care for mr Batt as they lived 6 houses apart at the time. she took him to his DR.apts and the stores etc. she kept his house neat for him did laundry and dishes there cooked breakfast for him got him his meds. Mr Batt and her grandma who Roxie called Granny used to come on family trips to Wisconsin dells they stayed in there own rooms at antiqua bay and kalaharie and polynisia hotels they just loved it walking the strip with all of us. there were yearly cook outs they always came on july 4th and vets day Dad was a WWII vet a 8th air core machine gunner on a B-17 flying fortress bomber stationed in England. xmas T.G.DAY, Easter , were always family gatherings Roxie was great cook she took much pride in her special dishes she'd make for those holidays. those dinners will be missed . yes the WORLD LOST A REALLY GOOD SWEET PERSON THAT SAD DAY.

Roxie was a great friend of animals dogs and cats alike. she owned both in her life time. as a child she had many funny stories of her dog Laddie a black and white collie dog. she really loved that dog growing up. she had other dogs in the later years but always spoke with great pride about her neighbor Sherry Bishop-sandts all white german shepard named ghost. sherry let her walk ghost and take him with her to pets park in Kenosha co. were he chased frisbies etc . Rox said he's such a cool dog and he just loves me. rox had many cats in later yrs. first bootsie then she got a big gray and white long haired kitten and called him Mr Pudden head ,she was 3 stoogies fan for many yrs .pudden later was called Bud by Brian but came to both names. she really loved that big cat he followed them around out in the yard while they had camp fires in the pit. she later got 3 tiger stripped kittens and kept and raised them too. but always had a special love of pure white animals . she found a ad for free white kittens she got hold of father in law Marvin he drove her to the address they opened the garage and in a bushel basket were 6 all white blue eyed kittens . Roxie said no way could she leave them like that she took all of them. she found homes for 5 very fast and kept one a female she named girl or girly -girl she'd call her. she was deaf but she would hand motion to her and tap on the floor the cat would feel the vibration see her motion and come to her. people who took the others would come back yrs later asking if we had any others. a man said my wife just loves the cat you gave us we want another like her too if you have any. girl moved with us to the dells area in 2008 she lived 16 yrs she died at the house here in 2012 Roxie and Brian were saddened the house seemed so quiet and empty. Brian spotted a ad free white kittens he knew if I tell Rox she'll want them . he told her she called and next day they had them home she named the male(ace big boy the smaller female Alie (little baby ace grew to a big 14 lbs ,baby as we later called her to about 9 lbs there healthy happy cats thanks to ROXIE a great friend of animals they now walk around looking for momma . they sit on her bed in her favorite recliner etc they miss her too as I do ill miss my sweet LADY ROXIE 4-EVER

When I first saw her I thought she was the most beautiful girl l I had ever seen. I never dreamed at the time id be lucky enough to marry her some day. she was so fine so special so sexy. I wined and dined her. and she fell for me as I had for her..we traveled all over the west and drove across country in 2000 we flew to Honolulu in may of 1999 for our honey moon. staying right on Waikiki beach in the outrigger hotel. we could hear the peaceful sound of the pacific ocean lapping gentley at the beach. she loved it there as did I. went many more places and had lovely memories . in 2007 the year before I retired. I set up a trip to Losangeles ca.we stayed down town in the financial district at the westin boneventure the most beautiful hotel I'm down town L.A. she really loved that. we visited universal studios and city walk,venice beach santa monica pier. board walk .we ened up missing our flight back and having to stay over an extra day what a situation that was. we had the greatest time better than both las vegas trips she was and still is the love of my life. ill miss that beautiful smart sexy lady for the rest of my earth bound days. till we reunite again in heaven.

Sorry to hear of Roxie's passing. She was a fun loving and caring sister in law. She loved her husband and was truly his best friend. Her cats were like her children. She volunteered to bring soup to the Shalom Center because she didn't like to see anyone go hungry. She was a fan of bright colors and took pride in her artistic eye. Brian and Roxie were fortunate to travel often before they retired. In retirement she enjoyed their country home. She will be missed.
