Hey Mom, Today's your birthday...I know your up there with a Big-O orange cake with strawberry filling or lemon or something like that. It hard not having you here to wish you a Happy Birthday but I'm sure you hear me talking your ear off. Bet you wish you could say you can't hear me.lol. Zellie is giving me a huge smile. I know he gets it. I never really knew how much you meant to me.We were never one of those touchy, feely type of family but the love was there. I hope you knew that. I wasn't the best daugther in the world but I wasn't the worst either. But know matter what I'd done or said you always forgave me and you were always here for me. I feel really alone now and people keep saying I will get over it but I don't think I ever will. Just know, you don't have to worry though. Okay. I know that was your thing. Your job is done. We all know we need to step up and do what's right for our selves and for our children and for our childrens children.
So, you blow out the candles on your cake and eat. You accually get to have your cake and eat it too!
I love you, Mom

Emily(sister) and family, You were there for us in word when daddy passed and I want u to know though I may not be able to say anything to make it better ...nothing can...know that I'm here for you! I guess the best I can say is how I explained it to my husband when his dad died last year..it's like losing an arm or a leg..nothing can make it gorw back or make it better but in time you'll learn to live without it and be able to walk and move again....my prayers are with you

Emily, My deepest sympathy for you and your family. I lost my mother years ago and I want to encourage you and let you know that as time goes by the hurt will ease and the memories will always be there to make you laugh and sometimes cry. Then that moment will pass until another. Be strong and always stay in the Lord's caring arms, He will continue to give you strength in the time of sorrow. Remember I am only a phone call away if you need to talk. I love you and may your family be blessed.
