Not sure what to say?





Sometimes I just come here to visit. I don't visit because I think you are here, but just maybe because you can see me typing my words or hear them. It's been a while, but like the last time I miss you more today than I did yesterday. Today was a tough one mom. Another significant person in my life lost and is now in heaven with you. I know you greeted him with open arms. I am happy you are both whole again, but boy do I sure miss you both terribly. I love you mom. I hope to feel your wrapping your arms around me from heaven later, because I sure could use the extra heavenly mom hugs. Love you- Melissa

Some days are just a little harder than others. During the holidays I seem to feel you the most. Yet I always miss you the most during these times. I know you're with me always, but I sure do miss you mom.

My beautiful, sweet, and loving mom. To say I'm going to miss you just isn't enough to describe how I feel. I'm going to miss our laughs and all of the fun we have had over the years. I'm going to miss hearing your sweet voice and you just simply saying my name. Life without you is never going to be the same. You were by far the best mom in this entire world! Your love for me was unconditional in every sense of the word. Your love for Madison was the truest of all loves for a grandchild I have ever seen. Your smile was contagious and you could light up a room by simply being in it. I'm not sure how life is going to be without you in it, but I know a piece of my heart is with you now. I love you mom and I miss you terribly. I know you are always with me and you are my angel in heaven now.

I Love You So Much and Miss you!
