Mama, words cannot express what I am feeling right now. My life is incomplete without you. I know you are still here as you promised, but it will not fill the hole knowing that I cannot pick up the phone, laugh, and talk about life like we always did. I will forever hold the good times in my heart. How we would go down the road and sing "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" by The Beatles. Paul was always your favorite... Abbey Road will always be our album.

I could not have come this far without you. I can't imagine where I would be without you there as a guiding light. I'm finally coming up to graduation, and just know it is all for you. I know you will be there and I will still hang my diploma on your wall like you always said you would.

I miss you, Mama, but thank you for being here with me. You will always be my best friend. Always and forever.

Tressa,

How can words say what's in my heart? It doesn't seem possible that you aren't here with us.

As a child and as an adult you were as pretty as a picture and your smile charmed everyone, girl. You have always been the peace maker in our family and without you all these years, the family would have fallen apart more than once since Mom and Dad went to be with the Lord.

Personally, you made me feel loved as a "sister" and as a "friend" and for than I have always loved you more than I can say.

We are sad here without you but I know that God has made a beautiful special place for his beautiful special child, you. I know you will be watching over us in heaven as you did while you were here on earth.

I am praying for peace for Bobby, your kids, and grandkids, for I know how much they loved you.

Thanks for your love, sister, and I can't wait to see you again.
Love always,
Your big sister,
Kala

Happy Birthday Tressa!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. I know that we were not able to spend much time together in my adult years, however, I have many fond memories of you and your family as a child. You were always so calm and understanding with only kind words to say. I remember feeling so loved whenever you were around and I want to take this opportunity to thank you. You have always been and will always be my favorite Aunt. I love and miss you very much. Until we meet again.

Tressa, Happy Birthday! I am praying for you and your family today. I pray that God gives you the wings you deserve and that you are serving him in a very special way. You loved and cared for so many children your whole life and I know God will continue to use you to take care of his children in heaven too! What is more special to God than caring for his wonderful children? I pray you will watch over all of us and help guide us in ways that will be pleasing to the Lord. I have always had great memories of your kindness my whole life. Distance has made our families grow apart over the years but you have always have held a very special place in my heart.

Happy Birthday Mom,
I feel you with me everyday and I hope you here me when I talk to you. I miss you more than you could ever imagine, but I know that you are smiling, without pain and in peace. This is how I move on. You touched all of ours lives with your love and encouraging words to get us through good and bad days. Now your words are in my heart and help me carry on. We will be together again, save me a seat. Me and the kids love you with all of our hearts.
Love you, Elesha, Tiffany & Haley

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Mama, I will always Love you more then you will ever know. I miss you each passing day and I wish nothing more then to hear your voice one last time. You are truly missed by me and Cory too.....
