Well, twelve years ago this evening, we were sharing the last few hours we had with you. While we didn't want to lose you, we knew you couldn't stay. I'm just so thankful your passing was easy and we were all with you.
As Terry said, the situation with Julie is still in a box at FWPD. Any attempt to get something going is met with a roadblock. All we can do is pray something breaks in the case.
I sure wish you were here to help me with a situation that came to light last year. I know there is nothing that can be done about it but I feel like of all the family, you would be the one that could help me come to grips with this.
Well, guess there is nothing else to say for now. You know we all miss you and love you.
Take care and give all the family there a hug and a kiss.
Your little sister.

It's been 12 years now since you left us. Your great grandson William is here visiting us. Wish you'd been able to meet him. He's the spittin' image of his daddy Joshua, who's the spittin' image of me. Everyone is doing well, Connie's heart is still holding out and other than almost joining you last year, I've been ok. You'd be proud to know that you have 2 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren! Everyone's doing fine and the ones that knew you, are missing you and the rest weren't fortunate enough to know you. Janet & Jason and Sandy & Charlie are all hanging in and doing ok. We didn't have a big celebration for the 50th anniversary of Julie and the girls' disappearance. Nothing has changed on that front, still no progress or new clues. Hope you have your arms around them all. We love and miss you, mother. Here's some photos of your grandchildren

Wow, I can´t believe how quickly time has flown since you have went home to be with the Lord.
It still feels just like yesterday we were having our late night conversations and solving all of life´s problems..lol
My husband and I have a black lab mix, he is getting ready to go into surgery tomorrow to have a mass removed.
Sure do miss you and being able to talk. After many nights of Taco Bell and midnight chats, a lot of the wisdom we both spoke is being walked out through the Lord´s spirit moving through me.
Oh yeah, and decades later I am finally back to writing poetry!
Forever treasured and loved,
Erin

Wow, it's been eleven years tonight since we all gathered at your bedside as you passed from this life to one far greater than we know now.
My prayer for your is that you're with Julie and those two crazy cats.
We love you and miss you. Rest in sweet peace.
Your little sister.

Hey Mom, we all miss you! Me & Janet are still kicking but we're both feeling our age, now. Earlier this year, I almost came to join you but my surgeon prevented that from happening. Sandy & Charlie are doing well, celebrating 50 years at their place, this year! You've have several grandchildren and great grandchildren, that will unfortunately never have the pleasure of meeting you. Other than my recent health scare, I've been enjoying my retirement. Even though Connie hasn't been able to work for several years, she officially retired this month. Hopefully, it'll be awhile before she or I come join you. Incredibly, nothing has changed with the girls' situation. There was another march in downtown Fort Worth, last April. Hopefully, that'll help someone, since it looks like we'll have never have any satisfaction. Love you, Mom! (I included a photo Janet took of me & here, on a little road trip we took, to go to West and get goodies)

Mama, it's now been 10 years since you left us and it feels like an incredibly long time. Things have just been rolling along and all your family is surviving as best they can. Karrisa got married! You've got a lot of great and great great grandchildren, now. There's been no real progress in the girls' case but so many people are trying to help. It's encouraging and I know you'd love seeing everyone in action. This year, there were electronic billboards up, asking for help. I only hope you now know everything and can be at peace with it. Someday, we will all know the truth but I feel we'll learn it in the same way you did. The photo is Charlie, Sandy, Janet, Terry, Terri Ann, and Rosanna, at the walk for awareness in downtown Fort Worth.
I love you, mom.

This makes 9 years since you left us and you've been missed by all that knew you. I wish you could've met your great grandson William and your great great grandchildren. Since you've been gone, good things and bad have happened, as is the way of the world. Me and my family, Janet and her's and Sandy, Charlie and their family are hanging in. Sadly, Connie's mother Evelyn has passed earlier this year. No since discussing Julie, nothing has ever changed in that situation. Love you, Mama!

Wow how quickly life goes by. I still think about those midnight, early morning conversations in all weather conditions sitting on the stairs wrapped in our blankets laughing and just talking about silly things yet sharing our hearts at the same time.
Now those conversations are being shared with Ed since he went home in 2017.
You were a wonderful friend to us.
I have been down many roads since then but I still carry our memories on my heart.
I'm praying one day I will know what happened to your precious daughter Julie. I pray she is home with you living life to the fullest with Jesus and you.
Love you and miss you

Mom, you left us 8 years ago and we miss you. Your family has grown a lot since then. You now have another grandson and a few great great grandchildren. I wish you could be here to enjoy it. Well Mom, you never got word to us about Julie, so we're still at a dead end there. The world we're living in is now a crazy place, that I'm sure would be hard for you to tolerate. Love you Mom and miss you greatly.
Terry Moseley
July 29, 2021
Well Mom, we've been carrying on without you for 8 long years now. Sandy & Charlie, Janet & Amanda and I just had a great visit and you were remembered fondly and missed by all. Everyone's doing great and you now have another great grandson and 2 great great grandchildren. Soon, there's going to be 3 more kids by marriage. Your family is growing. You never let us know about Julie and we still have no idea what happened. Guess I'll know one day, when I see you and her again. Love and miss you, Mom.
Erin
July 29, 2021
Wow, how time goes by so fast. I was just sharing with my mom some memories of our chats and your cats. We definitely had some good laughs and some late night searches for your fur babies and mine at the time in the heat and the cold.
I drive by the place we used to call home here on this side of Heaven and just chuckle and release tears of joy for that time.
It's not the same anymore. They changed it all up from the external but the internal still has our joyous and sometimes chaotic memories vividly alive in the atmosphere.
Crazy I never thought then that I would be looking back and seeing those apartments as a memory. I never thought I would get old...lol
Dance with Jesus and know you touched so many lives when you were here and I will see you again one day until then thank you for being my friend and always loving me right where I was at.
Please tell my loved ones that are home with you, I love and miss them too.

Well Mom, we're missing you on your birthday, here in 2020. You wouldn't believe what a crazy mixed up world we're living in. We'll be missing you on Thanksgiving, too. Love you!
Terry Moseley
July 29, 2020
Oh mama! Miss you and love you. I wish you were still with us but I'm glad you're not having to endure the stupidity that our way of life has become. Hopefully, Heaven hasn't gone crazy, too!

December 26, 2017
Well, Mom, another Christmas gone and still no answers about the girls. We all really miss you and love you Mother.
December 24, 2017
Well, it's December 24th, Christmas eve, and we are still where we were 43 years ago...still wondering where the girls are.
Who would have thought this nightmare would still be going on?
I hope Julie is with you, mama, and daddy.
I hope someday soon we'll know what happened.
Merry Christmas, Rayanne.
Know you are much loved and missed.
Your little sister.

Hi Rayanne,
Happy Belated Birthday! It has been awhile since I have posted a note to you or your family due to I couldn't remember this web site.
The weather is cool outside tonight and I was just thinking about how we'd bundle up and sit on the stairs like fruit loops all hours of the night and just laugh or chat--either way it seems just like yesterday!
I lit this candle for you in rememberence of your life here in the physical and to keep us both warm and full of joy and laughter like the good ole days.
You will always be missed and loved by many!
November 24, 2016
Happy Birthday Rayanne.
We still miss you so much.

Well, Mom , I went to Judy Wilson's funeral last Thursday. We've been missing you for two years now. She's there with you and now knows the truth, as we will all know someday. I love you, Mom
July 30, 2015
Two years. We miss you so much. Guess you've met up with Judy. I hope you and Julie, Judy and Renee are all together at last. And of course all your furry critters.
We miss you, Rayanne.

Well Mom, you've been gone a year, as of yesterday and we've all missed you. You were the last of all my mommas and daddys, grandma's and grandpas. Me and Connie have only her Mom left. I guess the we're the old folks. Feeling pretty old and weary right now. I hope your surrounded by lots of little kitties. Love ya Mom

Hi Rayanne--
I have been thinking about you so much lately and wishing you were here, so we could talk and eat our Taco Bell on the steps!
You were always good at giving concrete advice and I am going through so many trials and tribulations in my life right now as I am sure you and my other passed loved ones can see!
I just wish I could give you a hug and hear you say everything is gonna be okay!
I am sure it will be as long as I stay intuitive and listen to myself or follow the path of the Good Lord!
It is so difficult at times especially when it comes to men. I know you would set me straight with The Lord and my other passed loved ones, I guess I just need to be more aware of signs y'all are trying to send me!
I drive by where we used to live and it is still very difficult! So, many memories over all those years!
I know there are holes in the floor of Heaven, so thank you for watching over me along with my other passed loved ones!
Please tell my baby boys and Granny I love them and one day I will be there as well.
Living a Life with no pain or worries and only reuniting with all my loved ones!
Please tell my loved ones that I miss all of you everyday and think of all of you every moment of every day especially when I sit outside and look up at the sky rather day or night!

Not a day goes by I don't think about you!

Hi Rayanne,
I miss you so much! Seemed like you always knew what to say at the right time! I know you are watching over your family and friends and are no longer in pain I just sure have days where I wish you were here to give me a hug! Tell Quincy, Rosie, my baby boy Joey and Sparky I love and miss them as well! Not a day goes by that I don't think about all of you. Ed is in the hospital as you may know and it is pretty serious! Thanks for watching over him! If there were a physical address to Heaven, I'd be writing you quite often! I am so glad I can communicate with you through prayers and this site! Always in my Heart! Love ya!
March 21, 2014
I've been doing "spring cleaning" and came across some things of Mama's. I thought, "I need to ask Rayanne about this" but just as quickly remembered...I can't.
I know you are so much better off than we are but gosh darn it...I miss you.
Spring is here now and as soon as the flowers start to bloom we'll find a pretty country side to scatter yours, Rosie's and Quincy's ashes. Everything else you wanted has been taken care of. I miss you Rayanne, we all do. I hope you know how loved you are.

I miss you, Rayanne! I know your watching over your family and friends! The other night I ran out to a store and on my way home I saw a vehicle up on a sidewalk, I just chuckled thinking about the key chain you had! I am so glad you are out of pain and happy now with Quincy, Rosie and the rest of your family!

August 28, 2013
To a wonderful woman who became such a great friend and could always put a smile on your face or pick you up when you were down. I only hope that I could be as strong as you in my future to come! I just found out today about your passing and I know you are living a pain free life with Rosie and Quincy and I am praying that you have re-united with Julie and can finally be at peace and enjoy your time with her! My deepest sympathy goes out to Rayanne's whole family as they grieve through this difficult time! I will see you on the other side; ` until then I know you are watching over all of your friends and family. All the times of laughter we had through the years when we first became neighbors, wow how quickly time goes. I just drove over to where we used to live and it just felt so quiet like everything was at peace, yet so hard to believe all those years and memories went by so quickly!!

No more suffering, no more pain, resting in the arms of Jesus. Life is not the same without her, but comfort comes in knowing she's loved by God more than any could know. God bless you, Terry, Janet and your families. She was a good mom.

For Rayanne the battle of life on earth is over, good times and tough times, but their is eternal peace and joy at last in Heaven. Asking Jesus as her Saviour just a few short months ago reserved her a mansion just over the hilltop. It is a promise from Jesus to anyone who asks, Rayanne would like to see you there. Well miss her here on earth, she is waiting and wanting to see there, in Heaven.

Mom in law, As most go you were not so bad. I miss you and hope you now know what became of Julie. Rest in peace you deserve a carefree happy after life. You were one of the strongest if not the most stubborn woman I know. What ever life threw your way you faced it head on and survived. I am honored you were my mom for the last 37 years.

Granny, there are so many words I want to say, I love you and miss you! I promise to finish school (I know that is what you were afraid of). Although I denied it before, I understand now. I pray you have reunited with Julie and are at peace. I know you will be watching over the family and be with me for my graduation. We all love you, always!
August 4, 2013
Aunt Rayanne,
Your humor has definitely rubbed off on others. When I remember you I will think of the jokes and laughter you shared with all of us. Try not to cause too much trouble in heaven,haha.
I will see you when I get there.
Love,Nathan Deaver
August 4, 2013
Rayanne, as we journey through life we will miss you, but never forget you. You were a woman of many talents whether it be arts and crafts, sewing Barbie clothes and later flower girl dresses, or keeping us in stitiches with your witty sense of humor. You are seeing for yourself how great heaven is and I am so thankful you are without pain and sickness. Give Grandma and Granddad a hug and kiss for me and tell Julie hello and I miss her. Until we meet again...
Love, your favorite and only niece,
DeeAnn Deaver.

August 3, 2013
Well big sister, I know by now you are thru the pearly gates and in the arms of the angels. Give Mama and Daddy a hug for me. I pray with all my heart you are with Julie. Give her a hug, too, and let her know we never forgot about her. If at all possible, give us a sign she is with you. I love you.( in spite of all the shoes I dodged for all those years we were growing up) Rest in peace and don't cause too much trouble up there. Love you, Rayanne.
Your little sister.
