Today I spent $5250 on a water line replacement. I promised we would take care of one another and this keeps your home open for all of us as/if needed. I welcome your visits as well. Love you Mom and don't worry. We will be fine.

Dear Mom, will you say some prayers for us,,,,you’re boy Phil could use a hug from you right now. , remember what you told us.....that you would never let that happen as long as you we’re alive. Mom you are still alive in my Heart & Soul.
I know you are proud how we are helping with Jade & I know you are sad the other 1/2 of the family is still out of sight & out of mind. I’m sorry for that. I tried reaching ou that. Olive branch......I’m keeping Aunt Mary busy calling her.
We missed you again for this holiday, but e never forget....remember i told you one year “just deal with it” too funny.
Love you Mom

Dear Mom, thinking of you the first of Autumn, I know it always made you sad. I hope you are happier than you ever been. As I was helping on your back porch yesterday then all of a sudden a bear you put on the ledge I was no where near started singing Teddy Bear by Elvis. I hear you & I hope you are hearing me. Miss you Mom

Hi MOM, HAPPY MOTHER”S DAY. I know you did the best you could....none of us are perfect. I have you on video while you were in the hospital....buried in my brain. I’m sorry that i didn’t stay for them nice men who stepped up & Phil to carry you to your destination, i asked your grandsons, but I guess they didn’t want too or couldn’t handle it. I will be there soon to visit. I know you love your flowers, you made It perfectly clear who was gonna put Flowers on you & Dad’s head stone. I didn’t get to cook or shop for you again thats why the flowers are big. I have a Purple Heart Tattooed on my chest that is your Heart..i get reminded everyday when I look in the mirror. We need prayers down here as you know in more than one way......missing you.

I miss you so much, each and every day. I miss our conversations where you tell me about your day and tell me life lessons. I hear you all the time and even made me laugh a few times because I could hear you say it. I love the flowers they put on your grave. I know you would have too. I miss you and love you very much.
Love you

Dear Mom , old posts comes up on FB. I break down everytime. I hope you love your beautiful flowers, they were lovely. The flower shop goes above & beyond. I’m gonna try to make it down to see Aunt Mary, we worry about her. Of course you know that. I will keep it simple, we love you & miss you everyday. Sometimes more than others . Time does heal, it’s the memories that keep you alive in our heart. Love your baby girl.

Dear Mom, I keep thinking over & over again if there was more I could have done, but i know it was not my will, but GOD’S will. Mom you are dearly missed for the 2nd Thanksgiving. I try to pretend everything is alright, but I end up in a sad place. My friends don’t know, Phil nor Jeanette doesn’t know. I lost the only person who really knew me. You know i’m Still hurting & hope you help me find my way. Life without you has been life changing. I will continue to hide most of my emotions. I still have a lot to live for. Jade & I have a relationship now, I hope this makes you happy. I gave her some of your things . Jade does remember you & Elvis. Please try to help her too, she has been through a lot for a young girl. Jade spent her 20th Birthday at your house with me & Jeanette. We bought Dairy Queen & ate the picnic table. Love your Baby

Dear Mom, Happy 1st Mother’s Day without you in the flesh. We know you are at home sometimes, maybe a smell, your flowers growing & blooming in the cold, a memory. The picnick table Phil made for us to sit & reminiscing like yesterday. The nice breeze was blowing & I felt you & seen you in Jeanette’s eyes & Phil speaking your name. I miss you. Please keep watch over us we still need you.
I carry your Heart, I carry your Heart in my Heart

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Ethel sent me many
cards and letters and I enjoyed receiving and reading them. Though I never met her in person I know she was a special lady. She contacted me because she had
attended my church as a child/young girl with a friend. She just wanted to know
if it was still there and how we were doing. I sent her pictures, and we stayed in
contact until her health wouldn't let her write anymore. I will always remember
her as a good friend. We later found out that her sister {Mrs. Frost} was my
high school science teacher. My sympathies, Crystal
