Hey ma, I stopped by today because I have been thinking about you so much lately. I really miss,you. You´d be proud of me for the decisions I"be made and the life I am living. I worked hard to raise M the way she deserved and give her the best possible opportunity for a successful,future. She´s our sweet baby ma and we are so very proud of the young lady she´s become. She´s 18 mow ma,,and very beautiful.
J has done very well ma. She has her own business which isn´t surprising. She´s an ambitious woman, a go-getter, and would give anyone the shirt off her back. She married the man of her dreams and they are a beautiful and loving couple.
G is also doing well for himself. He´s living down here now and also owns a successful business. He´s had two more girls since you left us. Both are beautiful and look just like him. I´m glad he had girls. He´s raised his youngest, Tesla, himself. She´s his baby and wherever he goes, she´s never far behind.
Ma,I wish you´d been here a little longer so you could get to know your new great granddaughters, and see J get married and M grow up and graduate!
Ma, We keep you alive In our home. We speak of you often and don´t let the memories fade away. M remembers you, even though she was young when the two of you last hugged. I talk to Her about you and share stories with her of the two of you.
One day we´ll see you again. But until then, I love you and I want you to know how much you and our daily phone calls are missed.

Although, I can't call you on the phone, I do talk to you everyday. I miss you very much mom...the words can not explain. I am so glad that I came home to see you when I did, I just wish we had more time. Your service was beautiful, I met your friends & saw lots of family I hadn't seen in a very long time. You would have been proud of your six kids, mom, all together in one place...peaceful. Dad was there too. I miss you mom, I love you too.

I love you mom. It's so weird not calling you daily, but don't think I don't reach for the phone 5 times a day to share something with you. Your memorial was very nice and so many people came to bid you farewell. I just want you to know how much I love you and how sad I am that you can no longer respond. I will always miss you mom. I love you so much and Bryan sends his love. Until we are together again. Rest peacefully mom.
