GamaGreen, you were the very best... and man did we have so much fun together laughing and hanging out over the years. You would call me and say come get me, I have some extra money or I found a coupon for: crabs, McDonald's hot fudge sundae or hamburger w/ extra onions, Popeye's chicken, a ham and so on... I will alway remember our special times together over my 51 years... your fun sick sense of humor; your beautiful hands; your soft skin; your smile; your snicker and that twinkle in your eye... so many thoughts run through my mind... Thank God for Beth and Tommy who took such amazing care of you. I was so fortunate to be with you that last week and the last moment you took your breath here on Earth and the angels flew your beautiful self off to Heaven to be with family and friends! I think of you skipping around in Heaven talking with the dragonflies, ladybugs and owls all while sniffing a Gerber Daisy. Hugs and kisses until we meet again. I will love you forever and ever and ever ~ your very 1st grandchild and favorite (inside joke)!

Mom,
You knew my love for you, enjoyed our life together, and understood I could do no more when you were taken away from me. May God have mercy--He alone is judge. It pained me to see you suffer for so many years, but you are free at last!
Love,
Terry

Hi mom!!
I miss you more than you'll ever know, but by God's grace I will be with you & daddy in heaven one day. Scripture says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord to those who believe in Jesus Christ... And, I sure do! Thank you for being such a Loving, Kind, Generous, Best Sense of Humor, Mom on the planet! God Bless your precious heart today & for all of eternity!
I love you mom 10 bibles:)
