Its been 1yr 2mos since the last time I seen your face and 1yr 2mos and 9 days since I heard your voice. Your birthday was yesterday and I wanted to call and tell you Happy birthday young Lady and hope that you would answer the phone but I know its not possible. I do call sometimes half expecting it to be you on the other end but then granddaddy says "yellow..... who is this, she-she stop breathing in the phone before I beat your butt....."I just wish I had those days back when we talked (gossiped)and laughed (gossiping) and hugged. I know that Miyah will never know the wonderful woman that raised me personally but she will definately know who you were in my life. She has your spirit and I believe that you are watching over her and going to protect her the way you have always protected me... I love you more thaen words can ever express........

Dear Grandma, it's times Like this when I shall really miss you the most! I so bad wanna pick up the phone and call you! Just to gossip and always to hear your sweet voice! I always thought you would be here forever! I was just being selfish! Obviously you where needed more with GOD! I truly respect and honor that. And if I where there that day you where taken away from us, I would have held your hands and said to you; "Grandma, close your eyes and keep abreast the memories of good and bad and believe that we will unite again all of us in Our fathers Mansion," I love you Grandma and nothing will ever change! I'm gonna keep on missing you cause that's what us grandsons do! The Lord is my light and my and my salvation so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger so why should I tremble? 27th Psalm verse 1! Love you Grandma!

To Ms. Ethel: I would always remember your special advise you always gave. From the first day we met you treated like one of the family. You took me as a grandaughter and my son as one of your great grandchildren.The love you showed us no one can never take away. You are truly missed. We all love you but God loves you best. All the pain is gone all the discomfort you feel no more. I miss your laugh your smile and most of all that look you would give when knew that someone was full of it. You are truly missed and loved.

I don't even know what to say with out scrambling over my words, because the more things I remember about you the more it hurts to know that I cant revisit them. All because things change throughout time. Your loved ones lost you. They all vent to grow past the fact that just because your not physically by their side, your still in their hearts. You were a mother to some and grandmother to many. They are all greatful because you gave them all life and strength.I never had a chance to know my mother she passed away a couple of years after I was born. It hurts me only because i have no memory of her. I wish I would have known the person that I'm a spinning image of. But you I have memory of so it hurts me a little more. I knew who you were I knew how you were (from a child perspective because its been so long). I've always Missed you I've had almost ten years of missing you. I just wanted you to know that I never forgot about you.
YOU DESERVE TO BE IN A PEACEFUL PLACE WITH NO WORRIES!

To my mother, my best friend I'm missing you. I miss hearing your voice every day,your good advice and mostly your big! big! heart.
Mom Gary loved you like a mother and we talk about you all the time. He misses his other ma ma saun (smile). There is a hole in my heart that cannot be replaced but, I found peace in knowing you are in Gods arms and reunited with our beloved Joyce. I will always remember you as being a great mom that was always there for me. Please watch over our family because we are all trying to be strong. I will hold your memory in my heart, until we meet again. We love you always.

To my Mama Girl
First of all Happy Birthday. This is your grand-daughter,Melanie and to all my cousins (Mama Girl grands} we gonna celebrate your birthday all month long. Mama Girl I love you, I miss you, and I wish you were here. What gets me through is knowing that you are in God's arms. Although you are gone physically you are in a place called heaven that if we live the life loving Jesus the way you lived, Mama Girl- then we too will have a seat in the kingdom. Mama Girl it hurt me that I had to travel to see you on your journey home for I wanted to hug you and spend time with you. Earlier this year I had uterian cancer and out of countless prayers that I recieved and am truly greatfull for, it was your prayer Mama Girl that reached heaven. The end result Jesus healed me and I am living praise God! cancer free. Being a woman of God one whom Jesus saved and called in the ministry I knew you had favor with the Lord. Mama Girl you were a blessed woman of God one whom he showed favor. You will never be forgotten and we will celebrate you and continue to keep you in our day to day conversation because like God the spirit never dies.

Neil, Sandra, Pat, Linda, Valarie and Larry,
My heart was saddened to learn of Ethel’s passing. She always had a smile and something kind to say to me. Even though she was not my biological mother, she was a mother to me. I thank God for placing her in my life and she meant more to me than anyone ever knew. She gave herself unselfishly to all that knew her. If I could bring Ethel back again, I’d say "thank you" for the many ways you showed you cared and always making me feel I belong. Ethel you'll be missed but never forgotten" for our lost is heaven's gain. Think of all the joy and smiles shared with Ethel and we can smile today knowing she is smiling in the arms of the Lord. I just want the family to know that I love you, I’ll always be the “other sister” and you will always be in my prayers. I know she’s in a better place but it still hurt to see her go. She’s gone but forever in my heart.

THE TEARS ARE COMING FROM MY EYES, BUT ITS 4 THE JOY OF YOUR GOOD SERVICE 2 YOUR KIDS, GRANDS, ME AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTER, AND TO EVERYONE THAT HAD AN ENCOUNTER TO GET TO KNOW AUNT ETHEL. FAMILY LOVE IS A TRUE VALUE, AND WE MUST ALWAYS KEEP THAT STORED FAMILY. I'M HURTING ALSO WITH YALL AND I'M SOOO SORRY I'M NOT THERE. BUT REMEMBER THIS MY SPIRIT IS WELL PRESENTED THROUGH THIS TIME OF SORROW. SO WE MUST KEEP A SMILED 2 SHOW THAT AUNT ETHEL IS BACK WITH HER DAD, MOM, AND MOST OF ALL HER BEST FRIEND BROTHER EDWARD TYRONE PIPKIN SR, AKA TON. I LOVE YALL SO MUCH FAMILY. SMOOCHIES.

Grandma, Tough you have left in physical form, Your spirit still lives within all of us. Getting a phone call and hearing of your passing tore my mind up, I didn't want to believe it, But it happened.
I im hurt in son many ways, even now i cannot get up the money to come and see you, and honestly its killing me.
Samantha thinks im'a lose it, that im not going to be able to maintain my life and be stable, True all i've done is sit in a room alone crying wishing you were still here.
I know in my mind i can't do anything to change what has happened and in the end im going to have to just move on. But my heart can't seem to do the same. I shouldn't be on the internet saying these thing's because you cannot hear them, but I dont know if heaven have internet, or if you standing over my shoulder watching me type every letter down. But in my mind i can tell some how your reading this.
And i can just imagine how everyone else is feeling at this very moment. I know how the family is hiding how they feel but in truth its like being cut in half and they just have different ways or times to let it out.
I miss you, I love you, I wish you were still here.
I hope heaven is as beautiful as everyone describes it to be, You've earned your place there.
Ill never forget you.
Our 4 generation picture we were able take will always be cherished grandma. You will be missed more than you know. Love you...
