I will never forget us going to sunset beach for a mini vacation. We had a condo and played board games, did puzzles, and soaked up the sun! You had never really been that far without mom. It was the sweetest thing looking back, seeing the love you had for your mom. You wanted so badly to just go home. I remember talking you into staying and enjoying the beach with me. It was a vacation that I will never forget. I miss you dearly! I went and saw you a couple weeks ago which was long overdue and I know you are looking over us even after 16 years!

Merry Christmas Tiff! Wow! 15 years usually feels like a long time; however, losing you feels like yesterday! Christmas was good this year. Marsha and John came to moms. I really enjoyed the family time! We played a game using cupcake tins and we had alot of fun along with chasing the table tennis balls. Lol..... Now I'm resting and thinking about all the ones that are no longer here. I'm sure you, Tammy, your granddaddy, uncle Mike, great granny and many others, had your own celebration! Did you prank your granddaddy with a monkey? Or did he and Mike get you? Lol..... emotions are all over the place, but weirdly comforting knowing yall are having your own celebration. Until I see you again, I'll keep missing you like crazy! I love you Tiff!
Love,
Mom

Love,
Your mom!

Merry Christmas Tiff! I know I'm a day late. You know your momma is always late. Christmas was beautiful and we had a white one this year. I love snowy Christmases. It was different this year and the first ever Christmas that we weren't able to get together on Christmas day; however, we are getting together today. The weather put a kink in our plans but best to be safe. I sure do miss that smiling face of yours but I get to see it everyday as my Screensaver on my phone. I am keeping the traditions alive that you and I did together at Christmas. Lights went up earlier than usual, made sausage balls, and watched new Hallmark movies. You are not here on earth with me but I carry everything about you in my heart and memories every single day. Oh one more thing, Mark and I got married during this crazy year of the pandemic. I know how much you loved him too. Until I see you again, one day at a time and I love and miss you more than words can say. I bet you and granddaddy are pranking each other in Heaven. I could go on forever writing to you but you know my heart. Merry Christmas in Heaven my sweetheart baby!
Love,
Mom

It's been over 10 years since you've been gone. It sure doesn't seem like it's been that long. Today you would have been 27 years old. I can't help but wonder how your life would have been if you were still here. How many children you would of had, how many dogs you would have saved, so many things to wonder. However, I was truly blessed and so thankful to have had the time I did with you. I am so thankful to be called your mother. There is not one day that goes by that I don't think of you. The sadness that you aren't here, but I know I will see you again. Until then, I have so many wonderful memories to always keep you alive in my heart! I love and miss you so much Tiffany! Happy Birthday my sweetheart baby!
Love you! Hugs and kisses

Happy Birthday Tiff! And a Happy Valentine's Day(a day late) you know I have to be late on something. There are so many emotions and feelings that I can't put it all into words. I love and miss you bunches. It's hard to believe you have been gone for almost 9 1/2 years. There's not a day that goes by that doesn't have a memory of you in it. Oh how the human side of me is so heartbroken without you. I wonder what things would be like if you were still alive. How many grandkids I would have, who you would have married, what your profession would have been, all kinds of things. However, you are in the most wonderful place I father in Heaven promises those that follow him. I am truly blessed to be your mother. Until I see you again, I will cherish all the memories I have of you. Love and miss you more than words can say.

I just want you to know that i miss you....i think about you often....it just feels like your gone away to college or something or maybe to war somewhere....i just still haven't accepted your not on this earth anymore that your just gonna come home any day... So many years have passed..i wonder what you would be doing right now...i know probably driving your mom crazy but she would dip anything to have that back right now.i know how much yall loved Christmas and i know you still see her and the smile she still puts on while she misses you. Your mother is so special to me so continue to watch over her Tiffany and remind her not to give up bc your still with her. I love you and can't wait to see you again one day..... merry Christmas my friend.

Hey Tiff! It's that time of year again. Today was one of the best Christmases I have had in a long time. It was busy and hectic but I felt ok and managed to get through the day. Just a lot of body pain. Mark and I went to juniors because i had presents for the kids and grandkids. Omg I gave Abby an electric Barbie jeep similar to the one you had when you were younger and her and Payton rode in it. It was almost like watching you and Robert when I gave you your Barbie car. It just made my Christmas. I'm sorry I didn't get to your gravesite today but I am going tomorrow. After there, we left and went to my parents. It was so great spending time with family. Then Mark and I went to see nana(Barbara) at spring tree health and rehab which was great to see her. She had back surgery so she has physical therapy there. She looked really good which I am so happy about. Then as soon as I got home, Mariah and Austin came over. It was absolutely wonderful seeing both of them. She got Mark and I a present but I told her she didn't have to do that. Just seeing them made me happy. It was one of the best Christmases I have had since you have been gone. Lots of memories about you all day with everyone I saw today. It's as if you were right here with all of us and I can't describe how good of a feeling I had. It's like you were in the room with all of us. Thanks for a great Christmas! Of course I wish you were here in person but that's not possible but today it felt as if you were with everyone. I love you and miss you Tiff every single day. You were and you are the best! Normally I have a little sadness but not this Christmas. Thanks for being by my side all day.
Love you always and forever!

Hey Tiff! It's been 8 years ago that God needed you as one of his angels. We went to your gravesite today and talked about memories of you and signed the ceramic pumpkin for you. I know how much you love Halloween. Heather dawn signed it for Mason and Abby did it herself and Payton did too. Nicole had to help Dez sign it. It was so cute to see that. I am going to close for now but I will be back soon. Keep watching over us. We all love and miss you so very much.
Love and miss you my pretty sweetheart baby!

Happy 24th Birthday baby! It snowed today and I was thinking about how you liked to play in the snow. You would have tried to make a snowman but it Is so powdery right now. Suppose to sleet and mix of freezing rain. I remember how you wanted me to teach you how to drive in the snow. You drove in that big windstorm that one year, you went through a road check, drove in the rain and fog and on I81. Just unbelievable you left us in a car wreck when you had so much experience for your age. Anyway, I have just been thinking about you all day, just wondering how things would have been for this birthday. You are always on my mind and will always be MY Sweetheartbaby. Love you and miss you.

Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven my sweetheart baby! I have been thinking all day about the day you were born. How special it was to have you natural, painful but was well with it. I remember looking at you and saying you look just like your dad. Even though your birthday isn't until tomorrow, I remember the false labor all day on this day that year. Your memories are the best part of me. I love and miss you more than words can ever say.
You are always with me and on my mind, my sweetheart baby!
Love

Not a chance to say goodbye
She was gone in the blink of an eye
At times feelings of heartache, tears and pain
That sometimes rumble and pour like rain
With God, he shows me the light
Wrapped in his arms, I know I am alright
I know he had a purpose and reason
He carries me through every season
I know she is at peace in Heaven
And her memories have shown us leaven(change
something for the better)
For this I need to say
Celebrate Christ in every way
It's not about presents and gifts
It's about his word and a spirit to lift
It's about forgiveness and Love
That moves people to rise above
Do your best to walk with him everyday
Give Thanks and Celebrate Jesus's Birthday.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. Bless the ones who are having a hard time this season. Sending you all love, hugs and prayers.
Rest in peace my beautiful Tiffany
I miss you my sweetheart baby.
Giving you love, hugs and kisses

Hey Tiff! It's been 7 years now and it still seems like yesterday. They say time heals all wounds, well there's no amount of time that can heal losing my precious daughter. We had planned to go to your gravesite today but I was so sick and in the bed all day with a horrible migraine. I'm sorry I couldn't make it. It breaks my heart that I couldn't do it. This is the very first year that I have missed gathering and cherishing the day God needed you as an Angel. I know you only see it on tv and it's all Hollywood but I wish that it was real and you could come see me. I do dream about you and it's always things that happened when you were here and alive. I love you, my sweetheart baby. Thinking about you always and loving you forever.
Rest in peace my beautiful baby.
Love you,
Mom

I pass by the cross you have in remembrance of Tiffany everyday and I thought today I will look for anything on Tiffany and I found this sight. I am truly sorry for your loss and your pain. In honor of Tiffany I wanted to light a candle and just let you know people are thinking of her. May she RIP!

Merry Christmas Tiff! I know you are saying "Mom you are a day late", but what else is new. lol... Christmas was good this year but miss you awful bad. I am sure that feeling will never go away. I went to your grave site this morning to talk to you. I am sure some people would think I am crazy to do that, but I don't really care what anyone thinks. Some may think I am even crazy to talk to you on here too and who knows I may be crazy! LOL.... I love and miss you alot. I will write you again soon.
Love Always!

My sweetheart baby, we gathered at your grave again for the 6th year. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day. This was the 1st year with Abigail Grace. Abby drew you a picture on the pumpkin we all sign for you every year. She is so beautiful and I know you would be making a fuss over her and be spoiling her rotten if you were here along with spoiling Peyton too. I wish he could have made it. Maybe next year. I sure do wish you were still here with me. I miss seeing that smiling face and talking to you everyday. I saw pictures of you the other day when you were little and I wanted to cry. Mommas just aren't suppose to lose their babies. I know you are in a much better place and you have pure peace and happiness and no pain and one day I will have that too and these feelings are only while I am here. Knowing that is what keeps me going everyday and knowing one day I will see you again. Until then you watch over all of us. Love you Always.

Happy Birthday baby! Happy Valentines Day too! We all miss you so much. It's hard to believe you would have been 22 this year. Today was a really rough day for me. I didn't handle it too good. I know you are in a much better place with no pain or sickness but it doesn't take my heartache away of missing you and wanting to hug you. I will see you again one day but until that day just watch over me. Love you baby. Hugs and kisses.

Happy New Year baby. We didn't do much this year but I thought about you all evening wondering what we would be doing if you were here. It's hard to believe its been over 5 years now. I miss you so very much. What I wouldn't give for you to be here or even to see you one last time. Everyone says it gets better with time, but there's no amount of time that can heal my pain of you being gone. I miss you calling me at work asking me "how much do you love me momma"? All because you always wanted me to stop and get you cheesy potatoes on my way home. I see Chicken and remember how you were when Gipsy had her pups. How you would end up sleeping on the couch because you said Chicken kicked you out of your bed. I have lots of wonderful memories but I want lots more of them with you. Heather had her baby. She is so beautiful. She named her Abigail Grace. I know you would have made a fuss over her baby. I remember when Erica had hers and you were right there. I could write a novel on all the things I remember about you and love about you. You were such a unique teenager and there are no words I can say as to how much I miss and love you.
Happy New Year my sweetheart baby.
Love Always

Merry Christmas my sweetheart baby. I didn't get to your grave on Christmas because I was helping someone be with their family for Christmas. I was upset because I have always been there on Christmas. I know you would have been proud that I helped someone be with family for the holidays. I still wish I could have made it so I could talk to you but with the cemetary closing the gates at dark, I just didn't have enough time. I miss you dearly and wish you were still here, but I know that is not possible. You will always been in my thoughts, my heart and in my soul. Merry Christmas baby. I love you always.
Love you Always,
Mom

Hey precious sweetheart baby. We all gathered at your grave in honor of the day we lost you. It was a pretty day and we all talked about you with lots of wonderful memories. You touched so many lives and you will live forever in all our hearts. I wish you were here so I can see your beautiful smile and hear your voice. I love you and miss you more than words can say. It's hard for me to imagine its been 5 years because it seems like yesterday. Rest in peace my beautiful baby and watch over all of us. Love you always!

Hey my precious sweetheart baby. I sure do miss you something awful. Its my 45th birthday and I wish you were here to spend it with me. I miss talking to you and hearing your voice. I miss that beautiful smile. There's nobody I want to talk to more than you. I just wanted you to know how much I miss you and wished you could be here to spend this day with me. If I had one wish, the only thing I would ever want is to have you back. Nothing can ever mend my heart after losing you. Its put one foot in front of the other and put on the happy face until its my time. Its been almost 5 years now, and I have dealt with you not being here, but nothing takes the pain away of losing you, not being able to hug you, or talk to you, or kiss your cheek. I love you my precious sweetheart baby.
Love always,
Mom

Happy 21st Birthday Tiffany! I wish you were here for all of us to celebrate it. My mind wonders what we would be doing for your birthday if you were here. Would the girls be taking you out for a drink, or would you be away at college and we would have to come see you. There are so many things that go through my mind but most of all I just miss you being alive on earth and being able to talk to you and hug you. I love and miss you always. Happy Birthday my Sweetheart baby!
Love always

Happy Valentines Day my Sweetheart baby. I wish you were here to make everybody some of your delicious cupcakes. I miss your beautiful smile and your unique laugh. There's no words to say how much my heart breaks because I don't have you here with me in person anymore. I have your memories and I will always cherish those. God picked a perfect Angel when he picked you. I love you Tiffany and think about you and miss you everyday.

Merry Christmas Tiffany! We all miss and love you very much! Mark and I went to talk to you today and see your pretty Christmas tree before going over to your Granny's. We got out old pictures of you and enjoyed memories of you. You would be proud, there were no tears, just laughs and lots of great memories. Especially the one where granddaddy had you with a flashlight looking up the chimney for Santa Claus. It was precious! We all miss and love you sooooooo much!
Merry Christmas my beautiful precious sweetheart baby!
Love Always and thinking of you Always!

Tiffany there isn't any amount of words to say how much I miss you and wish you were here, but apparently God needed you for some greater purpose. We honored your 4th year of memory in Heaven as family and friends gathered at your grave site like we have every year. This year Tammy, Michael, Taylor, Jordan, Heather, Wesley, Amelia, Carolyn, Dale, Michelle, Barbara, Granny, your best Great Aunt Marsha, Me and Mark. Then most of us went to your favorite restaurant, Logans, to continue your memory. This year Amanda couldn't make it because she had to work, but she didn't miss calling me while we were honoring your memory. Amanda doesn't skip a beat for mother's day in calling me, or this day either as well as keeping in touch other days as well texting me to see how I am. Heather also gave us great news and told us that she is pregnant. I know you are so happy for her. We all miss you and love you very much. You touched so many lives and left an imprint on all of our hearts.
We think of you all the time and wish you were still here. We talk of you all the time.
Love and miss you always and forever.

Tiffany, you have been on my mind so much lately. It is still so hard to believe you are gone. I know we weren't as close when you passed but you were always such an amazing friend. When I moved up to my grandmas you were the first person to talk to me at school and kept me company so I wasn't alone. You always had a way of making eveyone feel special and important. You were there for me through so much and I hope you know I thought the world of you. You were an amazing person. I only wish we hadn't lost touch for so long. I miss you very much!
Rest in peace Tiffany <3

Tiffany , i never really knew you that much but my brother did..we miss you and wish you were here. I know its late but happy late birthday. We all miss you. You're gone but never forgotten. Even though you're gone we still have your family in our prayers... :) we love and miss you.
February 15, 2012
Happy Birthday Tiffany! I love and miss you very much. I thought all day long about how I told you when you were getting your license that you were not going to be driving Route 24 because it was such a dangerous road, but then I let you because you needed to stay after school some. How I wish I would have never changed my mind about you driving that road because you would be with me here now. It was only 2 days and you were going to be back on the school bus for the remainder of the school year and school had only been started for 2 months. If only I had stuck to my decision, I wouldn't be going through all this pain and I would be able to celebrate your birthday today along with many other things. They say time heals all things, but I don't think there's any amount of time that is going to heal the pain I feel from losing you. The relationship you and I had is one I will always cherish. The closeness and the way we always talked about everything. I would talk to you about important things and later I would hear you tell the same things to your friends, so I knew you really were listening to what I had to say. You were so special and that is why none of this makes any sense as to why you of all people had to be taken. I love you Tiffany and my life hasn't been the same without you here.
You are in my heart and thoughts forever everyday. Happy 20th Birthday baby! I love you and miss you very much.

Happy Valentine's Day Tiff! Every year this is such a special day for me because its how you got your nickname from me, "sweetheart baby"! And you definately owned up to the name sweetheart. You were such a loving and caring person, always making cupcakes for everyone's birthday at school and always helping anyone who needed it. I look at your pictures and see that beautiful smile and happy face and even though I know you are in a much better place, I can't help but to want to hug you and talk to you. I love and miss you very much. You are my Angel in Heaven watching over me, please watch over others that need it too-you know what I mean. Happy Valentine's Day my Sweetheart baby!
All my Love,

Merry Christmas Tiff! I miss and love you so much. Mark and I came to see you today and put a scoobydoo ornament on your Christmas tree. Each Christmas is not the same without you here. I think about how I used to always plan a way to surprise you with your ring, or other presents you wanted, like the time I put your ring inside your cupcake holders. You said I was sneaky. I always wanted to see the surprise on your face and how excited you got instead of just seeing a box and knowing it was a ring. Even though I don't have you here, I still have all those wonderful memories that I talk about with everyone. I don't think there are many days that go by that I don't say something about you. Merry Christmas my "sweetheart baby"! I love and miss you tremendously.

Hey Tiff,
Yesterday was three years. Sometimes it seems like eternity and other times it feels like just yesterday. I know I was so blessed to have you while I did and that I will see you again, but it doesn't take away the pain of wanting to see you, talk to you, hear your voice, hug you, or kiss you. As the years go by, I wonder what would you have been doing now? In college I am sure of that because you already had set what you wanted to do and were on the path to preparing yourself for it. I wonder what your kids would have looked like, if you would have ever moved away after college since you were so glued to your momma lol...... These are things I will never experience and it does break my heart. It was a really nice celebration in your memory yesterday. Tammy, Heather Dawn, Amanda, Brittany, Chelsea, Taylor, Shane and myself all went out to lunch and then we went to the graveside and your granny and granddaddy were there too. We all had a good celebration for you. Shane went to your marker on his knees and then looked up at the sky, it was such a beautiful sight to see such a young boy 5 years old doing something like that. I know how much you loved him and remember how much you made over him when he first learned to start talking. Tiffany I could write you a book here about how much I miss you and everything I want to talk about since I can't actually talk to you in person, but it would take me hours or even days or weeks to say everything. The most important thing is how much I love you my "Sweetheart Baby" and miss you!
Love Always

Happy Birthday Tiffany! Its hard to imagine exactly what we would have been doing today. You would have been in college so would you have been in class today?, would you have even been here locally for college?(I say yes to that because you swore you weren't ever going to leave home.) you were so glued to me. I remember being over at your granny's and we were joking about you living at home forever. So many things I wonder what would have been. Any way, it can't be changed and I have all the precious memories of you and you were definately my "sweetheart baby". I love and miss you very much Tiffany.
Rest in Peace my precious child. you are always in my heart, and soul.
Love you forever,

Happy New Year Tiff! I went to Tammy's, of course, and gave all them their Christmas presents since I haven't had time until then. It was really nice. Heather Nicole came over and of course the rest of the family. I kept thinking about you. I remembered how we all wrote on balloons one year and released them at midnight for you. I kept wondering what we would have been doing together if you were still here. I know we would have spent it together. But even though you are not here on earth, I still spent it with you in my heart. I love and miss you very much and not one day goes by that I don't think about you.
Happy New Year Tiff! I love you!

Merry Christmas Tiff! I know I am late! You are saying "what else is new, you are always late!". I can hear you saying those words. lol... I had a really nice Christmas Tiff. I thought about you all day and at times I could feel myself beginning to cry, but then I could hear you saying "Momma, its Christmas, be happy and please don't cry". So, I didn't. I miss you so much Tiffany. There's no words to describe how much I wish I could still talk to you, hug you, see you, tell you I love you, but I just have to believe that God needed you to serve a greater purpose. I love you Tiffany, my sweetheart baby! Merry Christmas!
Love you and miss you forever

Tiff, Like everyone else I can't believe its been 2 years since you left us. I know that you must be an angel watching over everyone. You were such a pretty young lady. Last time I had saw you I thought to myself that young lady will go places. And that beautiful smile you had on your face when you hugged me hello. I never dreamed it would be heaven. I had pictured you going to College. I guess they needed you in Heaven more than we needed you here. I know your mom is in such pain and no one could ever ease that for her. I know she has to miss you. We all still talk about you and what a sweet person you had become. Your mom did such a wonderful job with you. I know one day we will see you again. Until then you keep watch over your mom, she needs you to be her angel now.

Hey Tiff! Its been two years now. Tammy, Heather and I went to the cemetary today and put flowers on your grave. It was decorated really nice. Your granny had put a ceramic pumpkin plus a couple of pretty scarecrows and someone else had put a real pumpkin with flowers in it and wrote on the pumpkin there too. It all looked really nice. We sure do miss you. We talked about memories of you. I love you and miss you alot Tiffany. I wish you were still here with me, but i know God had a bigger plan for you.
Lots of hugs and kisses!

I can't believe it has been a year already. I still remember Tiffany's smile and how she brightened my day.
October 22, 2010
Hey Tiff! Its been almost two years now and i am sitting here thinking about what i am going to write for the newspaper for the in memory of you. There is so much in my mind and it makes me smile thinking about some of them. Like the time you were learning how to drive and we were driving to Tammy's and you had to go through a road check. You were so nervous but you aced it. And the time you also drove in that really bad windstorm. I wanted you to see how the wind could blow you and you aced that too. Everytime I have to go back to the old neighborhood, i remember you and Brittany walking the dogs and i would stop on my way home to talk to yall. I also remember how you loved taking those short trips i would do on the weekends. And how you loved the beach. How you would always call me at work after school and say "momma how much do ya love me?" of course i knew you wanted something and most of the time you wanted me to stop at taco bell and get you some cheesy potatoes. oh do i miss my sweetheart baby!!!! Although you tried to tease me and put on your cell phone signature one time as "his sweetheart baby" while you and Cory were dating. You finally changed it after picking on me forever. I called you my sweetheart baby ever since you were born Feb. 15th. And you were definately a sweetheart baby. I couldn't have asked for a better kid. Parents say how everything i did would come back on me, well it didn't, you were one of the best kids i knew. You were nothing like i was. You loved school and got upset if you even missed a day. I'm sure you did your share of things i didn't know about, but you were the best!!! I sure do miss having you here to talk to. You know that day of the wreck, i knew there was a wreck that day, but i never in a million years thought it could have been you. You were such an excellent driver. You didn't speed and were very cautious and didn't have other people in the car with you. It never crossed my mind it could have been you until my boss came and got me and told me you were in an accident and then i knew you were gone. oh how my life has been so different since. Nothing has ever been the same since that point. I miss you everyday Tiffany and I wish so much you were still here with me. I don't think time can ever take away this pain. Always thinking of you, loving you and missing you.
Love
Mom

Hey Tiff! Its been a difficult weekend. It was Mother's Day and I kept thinking about you. Plus Tammy was painting her house getting ready to sell it and i was there helping her until 5am Sunday morning. We were talking about all the good times you, Heather Dawn, Taylor and Heather Nicole had in that house. Its still so hard to believe you are gone. You are always in my heart and i think about you every day. There is a memory of you no matter where i go. I have seen the positive impact you have had on so many lives. I know how big your heart was and i just kept wondering "what would she have done for Mother's Day this year?" And it wouldn't have mattered what it was because I still have those Mother's Day cards you made me before and i am so glad i kept them all these years. I love and miss you alot Tiffany.

Hey Tiff! Happy Birthday! This would have been your 18th birthday. I have thought all day long about what a special moment this would have been. I wonder what we would have been doing for the big 18th! I know one of your friends at school would have made you cupcakes because you were always making them for everybody else. I was even thinking yesterday on Valentine's Day about how you would always go get all your friends Valentine's bags and fill them with candy or something. Happy Birthday my Sweetheart Baby!
You are in a place of happiness and peace and I will see you one day.
I love you and miss you with all my heart.
Love Mom

Hey Tiff,
Happy New Year! I am a little behind at getting to this. As you well know, your momma is always late. lol... I slept through the new year this time. Just not the same without you. Tammy didn't do much celebrating either, she ended up in the emergency room. We were both duds huh? I love you and I miss you and there is not one single day that goes by that I don't think about you.
Love Always

Hey Tiff,
Its Christmas Day! Merry Christmas! Its a white one but rainy and nasty. I went to your grave first thing this morning just to talk to you and to see the pretty Christmas tree we put there for you. I remember how i would always get you just about everything you asked for, but i found a way to hide it so you would be surprised. Like the year you got the cupcake containers and you wanted a ring, I put the ring inside the cupcake container and when you opened the containers you were so surprised because you never expected me to hide a present inside of it. I still have those containers and i remember how you made cupcakes for everybody's birthdays. My "cupcake queen" huh? I did good today, but you were always on my mind and i talked alot about you. We went to see Great granny at the nursing home and she even asked about you, but she cant remember much. You were on everyones mind today. You are deeply missed by lots of people. I love you Tiffany! Merry Christmas!
Love Always and Forever

Merry Christmas! Its Christmas Eve and you would be out delivering present you bought for everybody under the sun. I remember how you would always say "momma i gotta get this for ......." and the list was so endless. That was just your nature. You were the most giving person and such a great kid! I love and miss you so very much. It snowed last weekend so its a white Christmas this year. You would have loved it. I've shed plenty of tears and i wish you were here but i know you are spending Christmas with Jesus this year. Merry Christmas my sweetheart baby!

I know that this time of year with Christmas only 3 days away can't be easy for you and your family, i can't even begin to imagine your pain...but just know we think of you and your family often. "Merry Christmas" Tiffany... the only memories i have of you are when you used to tell on me and your sister April, and get us into so much trouble, lol... and a few pics of you when we used to play in my grandmas garage, but i will cherish those memories for as long as i live. We miss you Tiffany and we will never forget you....... Amber & Family

I know this time of year must really be hard for you. I think about you often. I look at old pictures of all of us during the holidays at Doris and Cecils. I just cant believe she is gone from us. I could never say I know how you are feeling, because I couldn't even imagine what you go through every day. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just want you to know I do think about you often. I don't have a number to call you. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and Tiffany.

Tiff,
Hey, its mom. Well its applebutter time again. Its just not the same without you here. We peeled apples today and i couldn't get you off my mind. I kept thinking about how you fussed about Jamie's lumpy mashed potatoes. lol That was the joke last year too since we all missed you so much last year too. Things just aren't the same without that big beautiful smile of yours. I got all 3 of the grandkids this weekend and i remember how good you were with them too. We all miss you very much. I am fine and i will see you again one day. I love you, my sweetheart baby.
Love, hugs and kisses;

Today you have been gone a year but it seems like just yesterday you were saying "mom how much do you love me?" and i would say the answer is no, just picking on you. Then i would ask you what you wanted. How you would always want me to stop at Taco Bell on my way home from work and get you some cheesy potatoes. Its just hard to believe that you are really not here. I miss not being able to talk to you. I still want to pick up the phone when i leave work and call you, but then i realize i can't. I know you are in a better place and safe and with God, and I know you don't want me to cry, you never liked to see me cry. But my heart breaks without you here!
Me,Kevin and Cory,his son, Tammy, Heather Dawn, Shane and little Britt went to the accident site today and put up a cross for you. You would really like it. It is baby blue and has scooby doo on it. I even put my amatuer craft skills to the test. I painted scooby myself. Imagine that. Anything for you!!!! I knew you would like it. I had Ricky draw it on the cross.
I love you Tiffany, my sweetheart baby! You were definately the best part of me and now you are at peace and free! I love and miss you, hugs and kisses!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you always!!

My precious "sweetheart baby"! It's your birthday! Happy 17th birthday baby. I miss you so very much. I try not to cry when i think of you because I know you are safe and I will see you again someday. But it just feels like half of me is gone right now. You know, the times I think of you are all good, happy, fun, laughing times. Those bright green eyes and that pretty smile of yours. You are just amazing. You have touched so many hearts. I know my heart is broken but God knew I could handle this and not lose my faith. I see some of God's work at hand since he took you home, as i'm sure you see it too. Rest in peace my beautiful daughter. I love you Tifffany! Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day.
Love Mommy!

Tiffany,
I can relate to your mom. Some days are so hard and some days are a little easier. Sometimes I just want to pick up the phone and call and tell you about what the kids are doing or talk to you about dad! I miss you so much. It is hard accepting I can't grow old with you but i know your in the lord's hands. I missed you so much on christmas and your joy. But your happiness goes on in my heart. Seeing dad on christmas wasn't the same without you there! I love you sis! You are in a better place!

Its been 2 months now to this date and it seems like yesterday. Some days are ok and others are not so good. This day is one of the not so good days. Its hard for me to imagine that I will never be able to hug you or kiss you. But unfortunately that is reality and i'm having a hard time accepting it. I pray for strength and guidance but i feel so lost without you. You weren't only my daughter, you were my friend too. We could talk about lots of things and now its not the same. I miss you my precious Tiffany and I know that one day I will see you again when the good Lord calls me home. Until then you r.i.p my beautiful child. I love you!

Tiff,
Its Christmas and its just not the same without your smiling face and laughs. I miss you so much! I went and visited your grave today and the beautiful Christmas tree on your grave along with the Merry Christmas From Heaven ornament on it. Well, I gave granddaddy that gift of the picture of the gorilla and you at the zoo, the joke you were planning on playing on him this year. He really liked it. Plus I gave him the stuffed animal that makes the noise and wiggles around. Everybody laughed, even great-granny. It was good, you got granddaddy good with this one, and you got the last laugh. Way to go! We also spent time talking about what a great person you are. You may not be here on earth but your memories live on in our hearts forever. I love you my beautiful Angel!
Love Always and Forever

Tiff,
wow. i feel like i'm having a nightmare and i hope i will wake up soon ! I miss you so much ! You were my best friend in the whole entire world ! I remember me and you driving mom's car up to the church because i was trying to teach you how to drive a stick shift. haha. And all the times we were in the car siging to the radio at the top of our lungs. haha And that one time we were eating at McDonalds and you just started busting out laughing looking at the intersection. I looked back and there were 2 cute old people in automatic wheelchairs and they were racing to BoJangles. haha We laughed at that for like 30 minites. If i ever needed advice for anything you were there,i could tell you anything,i trusted you with my life. I miss you so much ! I've cried so much that I don't have any tears left to cry. I know you're looking down on me everyday watching over me. I can't wait until the day i get to see you again ! I love you so much Tiff. When i turn 16 i'm getting a tattoo in your rememberance. If you were here you'd probably tell me not to be stupid because you never really liked tattoos. but i love you so much. you are loved and missed dearly by all !
(: i love you with all my heart !
Aunt Trina,
I know you and Tiffany were very close. It's hard to believe she's gone. BUt remember that she is in the hands of god and she's watching over all of us. I love you Aunt Trina. Everything is going to be ok. (:
