Forever In Our Hearts

Mom, Eventhough we all know that we are living on borrowed time. No one can ever prepare to lose a loved one espacially a mother. As I sit here listening to Nickleback Far Away I can't help but to think about you. Even though you are far away in the sky, you are very close at heart. Daily I wish I could pick up the phone and call you.. Just to hear you say "This damn Roger is getting on my nerves" or thank you got checking on me and a rapid click'' (lol).. I'm like did she just hangup on me...

You endless conversations with the grandkids.. I show your pictures often to little BJ to make sure that he knows who his "Sexy Granny" was...

Remember that time you came out the room w/o your wig and he told you
"Grandma go back in there and get your hair or you can't play my Wii?

These are the priceless moments that we all cherish.....

Man this is sooooooo hard to talk to you through my heart and not through my mouth.....

YOU are truly missed.....
Love your daughter

talk to me

Missing my late night/early morning phone calls just to make sure that everyone is ok. O how I miss u. I could always count on your honesty. Think about u every night before I close my eyes hoping that you will be there when I open them. Wanna pick up the phone and tell you how things are going with your grandkids and have a good laugh. You used to come to me in my dreams. Jeff said he had a dream about you a couple of weeks ago. You were trying to wake him up and show him something and you called him selfish. Lol..When he looked u were gone. Hoping you will come see me again soon. Saving you a plate for Thanksgiving like I always do. :)

Love You 4ever and ever and ever
Your daughter

My Mommy

It has been a year today since you were called home. One of the toughest years of my life. Mom you were award there for us no matter what we did to show your unconditional love as a mother. For this we are very thankful although you left us sooner that we could ever imagine. We will always cherish the memories that we all share everyday. Today Terrence and I visited your physical site for the first time. Physical because we know that you are with us in sprrit everyday. Words can't express our pain and sorrow but we know that you pain has ended...

Love,
Leon,Terrence, Missy, Sherrie, Renee and all of your 14 grandchildren..

I miss my friend

I met a beautiful lady the day I met Ann, We had a lovely relationship and like so many other relationships unfortunately it didn't last . But I never lost my love for her, Through it all she brought joy in my life for a short time . I just hope I added a little light in her life as she did mine,She had her way as do we all. But i still felt that it was her way of protecting her vulnerable side . I miss my friend.. Just knowing she was only a phone call away gave comfort (if she answered),but now knowing she not here anymore its just so unreal >I miss my friend< Ann If you can hear my thought at this moment I love you and miss you oh so much .I just wished i could have talked to you before you left. God knows i tried to reach you ,I could always tell when something was wrong but this time i could not reach you .... I Miss My Friend........

Missing a friend

I found a beautiful friend when i met Ann . We shared a very intense relationship for a moment . I know things did not, last but the love i have for her never dies . Just knowing she was a phone call away if she picked up , was comforting . But knowing she is not in phone distance seems very unreal . I am missing a friend . I just hope that i meant as much to her as she meant to me , I hope I added some light in her life as she was special in my life . Ann if you can hear me I miss you since you ve gone. Just wished I could have talked to you before you left. Missing you......!
