Hey baby,
another year is just about gone. It's going to be 18 years this time around. I just wonder what our life would have been like if you had been able to stay with us. I know that you would have loved to meet your new grandson. Zane, thats Jordan's baby. Kenneth (your grandson) would have loved to know you. I'll know that you'd be real proud of all of our grandkids and the kids. I'm getting better. I'm living life. I'm lonely but I know you'd be upset that I am still alone, but it just hasn't happened. I had a LOT of healing to do. I've got a job where I do some traveling now. I've been to South Africa twice. But there's just a basic lonely spot in me. That is yours. I'm not devastated anymore. I miss you. I wish we could have Finished our lives together, but it wasn't meant to be. just know how much you were loved and you still are.
Last year was tough, lost Sherie in Feb, my brother Stephen in August and moma on Christmas Eve 2024. Those did a number on me.
Love ya,
Diane

hey baby
I hope you met Sherie when she died yesterday. So hard to believe she's gone as well. This has hit me real hard. Just had your birthday, she's gone,Amy prolly won't make it long term, my mother is failing, got asked to leave, worried about our boys, baby Zane... so much...and you are not here to hug me, share memories etc.
Miss you. Glad Sherie had you, Mimi, mamaw, Boppa, your dad to welcome her.
When mom goes, please be there to greet her too.
Love you...

Hey baby,
Guess who got in touch with me yesterday. Katy from AOL. She's coming to town this month..in fact she will be here for your birthday. We did a lot of catching up.
Darlin,
I am wondering if I will ever come to terms with losing you. I am no where in the shape I used to be, but just can't seem to move the next step.
Well, I will deal with it and keep plugging along, but just want you to know life with you was good... not perfect, neither of us was perfect. Good enuff, I can't seem to open enuff to find another partner..and I am lonely.
Love you so much.
Hope the powers that be, will "allow" this one to be printed. lol
Diane
Guess will have all the missing ones at once. lol
Saw your sister yesterday. So glad Justin could go with me. Long drive there and back. Ur sis looks soooo frail. I am going to miss her so much. Take care of each other and think of me.
Please watch over and help Justin...
love u,
D

Hey baby, it's been 16 years today since you left us. You are still so missed and the void you left in our lives is massive. But like with all things, we all heal and move on to a degree. Things have changed so very very much you left us. My mom is in a independent living thing and turn 93, our kids are grown, grandkids are growing up fast. Wish you were here so we could enjoy the family together, but was not meant to be.
I'm still healing but I'm in a good place and will continue to stay good.
Love you so much baby and miss you still.
Diane
November 2, 2022
Hey baby,
The healing from your loss is still a work in progress. It's much better until it's not. Right now I hurt so bad inside fr missing you. I'm so tired baby... being alone sucks.
Just know you are missed and loved so much.
On another note. Jon Rowell texted over the weekend letting know thT Henry had died on June 3 of this year. So sad I lost touch with him and did not go to his funeral. Seems life has gotten away from me in the struggle to survive.
My landlady is going up 550.00 on my rent so have to move again. So tired of this..
Anyway baby, love uou
Diane
May 3, 2022
Hey baby,
It's been 15 years since you were taken from us. Miss you so much, but am going to move on. I love you now and always, will cherish our time we had always.
Please watch over our kids, their partners, our grand kids, your brother, sister and their partners.
Love you!!!
Diane

Hey Baby
going through boxes and finding things that break my heart and make me soooo sad. We had a good life together and I am glad we had each other.
I am just sooo darn lonely and tired of being alone, fighting the life battles alone. Kids are with good partners and seem to be happy.
Dammit, why did u have to go?
Why could it have been me? Just feel adrift with no anchor.. Oh well, been 14 freaking years since you were taken and thank heavens, the pain is not agony anymore, just pain.
Love you..
Put in a good word for me and the kids.
Diane Maupin
April 30, 2021
Hey baby,
I still miss you and am sure I always will. Our life together had its ups and down. but our love was steady.
Tuesday will be 14 years since you were taken...
I know the kids would be better off if you were still here. You were such a steadying influence on us all. Try my best, I can't help them as much.
Not getting maudlin here, so just saying Love you and hope to find someone so my life is not so lonely.
love ya!!
Diane Maupin
April 8, 2021
Hey baby,
coming up on 14 years since you left us. Hard to believe.
Miss ya, but that's gotten easier with time.
Guess I just wanted u to know how sad I stay.. Maybe I will join you soon if God is willing. I am just not getting anywhere, can't seem to get happy, dislike my job sooooo much, but apparently not skilled to get a job I like or am good at. Knew I did not want the job and the feeling keeps growing. Again, I seem to mess up stuff...
Just wanted to talk to you...hard to do with u not here. lol
Love ya babe!
Diane Maupin

Hey baby,
Trying again to write on this to you. Apparently nothing in the last 2 I did met approval.
Well today 13 years ago, you left us. Such a huge void it left. My birthday will always be bittersweet sine you left us on it.
World has gone crazy this year, guess I am glad you arent here to witness this mess would stress you to no end.
Kids are basically doing ok. 2 of the grands are, not sure about the other.
Your brother, Ginny and Sherry are doing ok too.
Hopefully this will be approved so it can be posted NEAR your departure date
Love and miss you very much.

Ken,
I am missing you so much tonight. I feel so lonesome, sad and alone. I know I am not, but this time of year is one of the tough ones. Sitting here crying..guess it's a pity party.
I want to move forward, but I guess I am afraid to care like I did for you. I don't think I would survive loving and losing again.
Our anniversary is coming up and that's always tough, but we got to share it with Jordans birthday. He will be 31 this year...wow. Jordan and Alesha seem to be doing well. You would like her...
Justin is surviving, I worry about him so much, wish you were here to comfort me with your hugs and rumbly voice..
Erin and Rob seem to be doing well. Life's ups and downs of course.. you would so enjoy Katie and Kenneth, they are great kids.
Wish we could have Nikki around, but...
Started a new job and really like it... think it's going to help me finally catch up to a bit of firm ground. ..
Love you forever!
Diane Maupin
November 6, 2019
Hi baby,
Reading back over a few of these and boy have I made some big typos.
Well Jordan took me to Scotland and Ireland in September. Got to go with him and Alesha ( his woman). You would like her, she's a doll.
It was such a fantastic trip, it filled my heart and eased my soul a bit. Got to spend time with Jordan, you would be so proud of the man he has become.. I know I am. I will NEVER be able to thank him enough for the fabulous trip.
Miss you so much, coming up on the time of year I dread..
Having job issues, such a shame since I so loved it. Praying God will guide me to a better for me job but am doing my part too.
Justin is doing ok, not good, but ok. Misses Nikki so much. He's struggling since his life got messed with.
Erin is doing ok, job struggle now. Rob is doing well and Katie and Kenneth seem to be doing well. I text with them when I can't see them. I text with Macy as well, Jon and Karen seem to be doing well.
I wish I could keep in touch with Nikki and text with her, but such is not the case. I hope when she is old enough, she will get in touch with our side of the family.
If you had not been taken, I don't believe our family would be so torn up and not close like we used to be.
Love you for eternity..

Hey baby, its almost my birthday/day of your loss. Pretty teary this year, but life is getting better and better...slowly. Still very lonely and miss you much. Watch over the kids, grands and all other family. Your loss has made a huge dent in the family dynamics. Justin misses Nikki so much as do the rest of us. Glad we get to see Katie and Kenneth though.
Love you
Diane Maupin

Happy Easter hun. I know you are up there with God and Jesus and feel that joy.
I am missing you more the last few weeks, but with Nikki's birthday, Easter and my birthday (the day you left us) coming up, figure that's a great deal if it.
Baby, life is so lonely without you, the family is broken up from your leaving us and the crap that happened after you were taken. Makes holidays even worse.
Just wanted to talk a moment with you.
Love you very much.

Hey baby, I'm going to try again to get them publish this in the journal I do for you. This time number 5, so I hope they publish it. I guess I'm going to have to call and find out what's going on. I'm not being ugly or anything. This is for me to talk to you. And it's paid for baby.
Well tomorrow is Nikki's birthday she will be 12, but you know that because she was born just a few weeks before you died.
I wish you could have stayed around the watcher grow up oh, heck I wish I could have watched her grow up. Last time I saw her she looks so much like you she's a good blending of Justin and Beth. But I could see you in her.
Katie's doing good she made cheerleader and she thinks of you as you could tell from the posts, Kenneth wishes he knew you but he's doing well as in life too. He's our scientific kid and he's so wonderful at it.
I miss you so much sweetheart, my life is so different oh, I'm so lonesome. launch gotten better I love my job and I'm doing something I enjoy and I'm good at, but I haven't got to a point where I can have my own place again I'm getting an apartment, not a really nice one but it's adequate. But I don't have you. And I know I won't ever have you again until I get up to heaven and see you.
Until I ride again baby which will be on my birthday because that's when you left us.
Love always,
Me

so i started by just searching up my full name and then i found this page, for about an hour i've been reading all these messages. i was so very young at the time of your passing, so i don't remember you to well. but my mom always talks about how great of a person you were,and i hope your having an amazing time in heaven and watching over your family. also at school some people try to make fun of my name (i go by olivia) and so they will call me oliver, but i tell them that's fine bc that's who i'm named after :) love and miss you a lot!

Seems like all I touch screws up... take 2 steps forward and 3 back.
I do wish you had been able to leave my in decent shape hun.
I am so struggling to find and keep a decent paying job.. Life is a cruel teacher, and its worse with out you with me. You made life so much easier, fun and enjoyabke....

Hi baby,
Just wanted to talk to you. Things are going better in my life and that's so wonderful. Think it might get a little easier, but even with that I so miss having you with me. Having that special man be there to laze around with, do things with, even be my safety net when I get adventurous. Have a feeling I may always be alone. You are a hard act to follow. Just noticed today that this December you and I would have been married for 40 years. Quite a milestone had we made it. Just wanted to let you know I love and miss you.
Jordan became a captain this year. Pretty cool huh?
Keep an eye on Nikki please.

Hi baby,
I miss you so much... when you were called away, you took a huge part of me I will never totally recover from. You also gave me 32 of the best years I ever had, 3 wonderful children and unconditional love. Never felt so loved in my life. Thank you baby...
Like all my posts tell you, I am still attempting to move forward and live a fulfilling life. Making it few steps at a time still.
Kids seem to be doing well, moving on with their lives. Hope you are keeping an eye on the grands. They bring such joy.
Love you much and miss you more.
Going to a school friends husbands funeral Thursday. I know that is going to open up the wound some. Dreading it, but know first hand, how much it helps the family.

Ken,
Just touching base. I miss you and the joy and love we shared.
Hon, I am so lonesome and sad in the heart of me. While I am moving on, it's bittersweet, our plan was for us to be enjoying these years. Makes me hurt and miss you more.
My plan is to be happy again, and I am working toward that. Some people aren't meant to be alone and I think I am one of those. Lol, wonderful huh?
Love you my sweet man....

Hello doll,
Well, another year without you is leaving. We would have had our 38 anniversary last Sat. Jordan turned 26.. hard to believe isn't it?
Christmas was good, was out at Erin and Robs, had fun there, Katie and Kenneth (yes, KC is going by Kenneth now) are such great kids, sure wish they could know you, but, God had other plans.
Justin will be married to Jenn for a year next month.. amazing, they are so cute together.. again, wish you were here to see the family we made together.
I am still searching...
I miss you so much still... but the agony is getting much better. lol
Your Brother, Ginny and Sherie are wonderful to me and make me feel like I am still part of the family. Nice feeling...
Know I love you so much and am so thankful to have had you in my life.

Ann,
Thank you for writing in Kens book. I did not know how to get in touch with you or several others when Ken passed. He was a good man, you would have been proud of him.
He is missed so much still.
We were married for 31 years and should have had more.

Ken was a sweet man...he was a sweet baby as I sat with him in Dallas at his Maupin grandparents house during his first summer. I can't imagine the loss his family has felt over the years. Sorry I didn't know of his passing and that we were not closer. My love and condolences to Kenny's family, Ann Maupin Ezell, his aunt.

Hey baby,
Tomorrow I am moving to my own apartment. Cant take your Diddle dog, not in my budget, not where I planned to be this long after you passing on. But the plan is not mine, I am just a pawn in this game of life.
Had my eyes opened the other day about you. Was asked if I was angry still about you passing... After thinking about it, the answer was HELL yes I am. You are the person that made the world good for me, believed in me, made me complete and was my world.
Losing you was such a blow as I could have never prepared for. Even as awful as its been, I can't and won't ever regret loving you with all I had and was. I am working hard and will release you and the anger I have about you leaving me. I realize (and always have) that you tried to stay and wanted to stay with me and our family, but God had other plans....
I LOVE YOU and always will... but you do know that don't ya hon?
Please watch over our children and grandkids.. We all can use some of your watching.
I hope to find a person in my life that makes me happy. You will never be replaced and figure you know that, but I want and need a future and companionship.
Chat with you later LOVE...
Your loving wife, partner and other half...

Hey doll,
Your birthday has passed, time moves on, so do people. The grand kids are doing well, wish we could be the Grampy and Grammy we always talked about. Makes me want to cry still.
I am moving on in life, still very hard to do, but not as bad as it was... Will prolly never be "happy" again, but sure hope I am.
You loving wife.
ME
Ken, Katie, Justin & baby Nicole.

Hey baby,
Today is Fathers Day and I so wish you were here in person for you kids. You were a good dad and shared a lot of wisdom with your kids, the boys on how to be a good man and dad, for Erin, how important it was for her views on being a woman and placing value on herself.
Love and miss you.

Hey love,
Wish the hell it had been me and not you that passed. Not sure I am equipped to handle this life.
Loved our life together and loved you more than life itself.
Drank me a vodka and orange juice and am sad, but I was before I drank my drink.
Ken you have left an ache in my heart that seems to never heal. I miss you so much and our life together. Not perfect, but it was ours.
Love ya.
your adoring wife.

Ann,
Had I know how to get in touch with you, I would have done so.
Ken,
Today is 5 years since you left. Pain is better, but I miss you sooo much and the life we had. Working hard at moving on and will succeed, but today is a setback. Why weren't you able to stay with us. You were so loved and still are.
Bye again love.

Hey Baby,
Could not write in this for your birthday as I was trying not to be too sad. Kim's birthday is this Saturday, be sure that you and Derick send good thoughts her way. She has and is a wonderful friend and I have been blessed with a lot of them.
Jordan is following his dreams, he is taking off for St. Thomas, Virgin Islands on Feb. 1, 2011 to live. You would be soooo proud of him. He has become such a good man, following his dreams, working to fill his financial obligations and just being a good person. I am going to miss him a lot, but am happy for him.
The other kiddos, are doing good, Erin is having surgery in Feb. as is Rob, Justin is job hunting and Melissa is getting better from her surgery. We could all use you giving us a little "inside" help.
I am job hunting "again" and working at staying positive..
Erin and Beth both are using me as a role model for what not to do so they will not be in the same position I am in. Kind of bittersweet huh? Glad they know the days of being a stay at home mom are over (pity for the kids) but kinds sad they use me for that role model. lol
Love you and miss you daily.

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you are looking out for your family from above, they sure need you watching over them now more then ever. You are loved and missed.

Ken,
Getting a start on a life without you. Have some wonderful things going on. Pursuing them and going to succeed,but still miss ya so much.... Time has had a way of making the intolerable, somewhat tolerable, but I am so sad today...Not sure why... have strong doubts about making it and being successful, ever dating again, being self sufficient, upgrading my personality etc. Angry still some that you left me here with out you. As I have told you before, our family has fallen apart...I don't feel able to do whatever magic it needs to pull it together again. Not sure I would be able to do so anyway. That seems to have been your specialty.
Sure wish I had been able (or did) read the future, might have not been a stay at home mom or worked with you.. Should have been a career woman so I would not have been thrown at the mercy of the world I was and am not equipped for. Oh well, it is what it is and I did have you... my best friend and lover for 31 years...
Your grands are doing well. Katherine is in kindergarten, KC is enjoying his day school.. Nicole seems to be doing well. Such a mess in that little girls life...
Bye till later.
April 25, 2011
Hey Baby,
Soon will be 4 years since you left this world. Going to work on that day and take off the next 2 days. If I don't stay busy on the day my world fell apart, I will spend it crying for what should have been.
Had a good time at EAster. Katherine is growing up so fast. She starts school this year..
Miss you so much...

Hey Kenno,
Again, they decided what I wrote to you was not ok to put in the guest book for you.I wrote to you on your birthday but it was not put in. Not sure I understand why, but they are not letting me and I guess I better watch my p's and q's.
Do you ever look down at us? See how wonderful your granddaughters are? What a wonderful grandson you have? We are very blessed, but you are not down here to share them with me.I am very happy you got to meet and enjoy Katherine and got to know Nicole a little. K.C. is a doll, you would just adore him as well....
Your kids are still hurting from your loss and watching me hurt so bad... I try to hold it in, but it still surfaces...
Its strange to not be able to share the little "cherub" stories with each other about the kiddos and will never have anyone to share those memories with.
Still working at being happy and moving forward... hard job to do when my heart is not in it, my heart is with you....
I made a plan for this year... I am going to move forward and start trying to live the rest of my life again... just a different life than I planned.
Love you darlin, just saw a photo of you in your sisters FaceBook photos of you. You were so handsome on our wedding day. Love that hair... still should have gotten you to pierce one ear to go with that hair.
Gotta go now.
Chat soon and love ya lots.
January 25, 2011
Happy Birthday, you are missed a great deal.

Hey darlin,
Wrote to you not long ago, but for some reason it did not get into the book, not sure why.... It was on our anniversary. would have been 35 years for us.
Ken, I am having so much trouble moving forward. I think I have accepted you being gone... Not liking it, but know you are not coming back.. I just seem to not be able to keep going. Changed antidepressant pills and am better, but just stay so damn sad.
I miss our live, being your lady, so much... Kids are doing ok, Jordan has his own place now, but is struggling as he has no car and I can't help him. Justin is kinda starting over and is struggling. Erin seems to be the only one doing relatively ok... They are tight, but making it... like the rest of us.
If it wasn't such a sin and would do so much damage to the kids, I would just leave this earth and be out of this mess.... I won't do that cause of the pain it would cause the others and with my views of suicide being a woosie way out... cant do it...
Enough now sweetie. I will let you go..
Love you and miss you...
Keep on keepin on.. thats what I will be doing...

Hey Kenny,
Going thru another rough one. Dad has been sick, real sick like you probably know. He was in the hospital and they released him today back to his nursing home.. Got a call this evening from Moma saying she got a call from the nursing home that Dad might not make it thru the night and did we want to resuscitate. I went up to see him and he looked like a person from a concentration camp. He was nothing but skin over bones... Thought I would be ready for this, but I am so torn up over what should and could have been.... Sure wish you were here to hold me and tell me its OK and that it is nature taking its course, but you are gone too. Chat later love...
One day I will see you again...
Can you be there and help Dad? I prayed over him tonight...
