My mon's heart is broken she misses you so much she told me she doesn't know what to do with herself now. I will take care of her for you til she goes to live with you again.

My NASCAR buddy!!! I hope you are at peace and not in pain anymore. I loved our talks and they comforted me, you understood pain and I needed someone to understand and you were the only one. You always listened even though you were in pain and not feeling well. You always made me laugh and I needed that. You made me feel so welcome in your house!! I am really going to miss you and your stories!! I am just so glad you aren't in pain anymore if it takes you not being here..... I knew you were tired.
Love, Angie

Rest in peace my sweet love, my friend. Thank you for loving me when I didn't even love myself. It was an honor and a pleasure to be your wife. I find peace in knowing there is no more pain in heaven and you are hanging out with Jesus talking, oh how you love to talk!! Now He gets to hear all your stories. Save me some icecream! and I'll save you some peanut butter and jelly! Sleep well my LOVE. Barbara

Dear Rhonda,

I was so sorry to hear about your father. We know what you are dealing with and please know if you are in need of anything, please pick up the phone. What has kept me going is that I know I will be with my mom again and she is with me every day in spirit. It will be a year May 12, but it seems like yesterday. Time slips away. I remember how comforting all the cards, flowers and visits were during that time. Take care. We love you guys.
