The girls and I have just made it home the miles between Roanoke and Georgia grow longer each time especially these last two trips to my family I want you to know that I love you and am proud of each of you togther we sent off Joyce to heaven to take charge as we all know she will do.Togther her and I fought many battles and lost a few but we always manage to come out on top. She was my Mom when we lost our Mother she scolded me when she thought I was wrong but she loved me uncondtional.I wish I could have taken the pain from her last few years but I couldn't. The only peace I can find now is that Wendy and Stephanie have her there and no more writting on the wall because they can hold each other tight and wait for the rest of us.Please be strong and love each other and remeber that she always had the door open and never turned any one away. I will miss her with every passing minute I love you Mert. rest in peace and you can write me a note on the wall and tell me how happy every one is now that you are home

Dear Sis,
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, I miss you already and I will always love and miss you. Several times in the last few days I started to call you and make sure you were ok. But then I realized that you were just ok, you are in heaven so you are GREAT! No more heart trouble, diabetes or arthritis, and you can see as far as the eye can behold, for eternity.
I've been thinking a lot about times when I was little and you were my "big sis" and i wanted to be just like you until you went wild and got married at 16!!! I remember when Donnie and Missy were little and the one thing that will always be in my mind is when Donnie said a bad word and you washed his mouth out with green soap. Every time after that when he heard someone say a bad word he'd tell them that his mama was going to get the green soap after them.
I remember that Donnie used to love to spend the night at our house and I'd pay him a quarter to dust the furniture, even then I hated to dust. And how Willy used to take Missy around with him and everyone thought she was his kid.
I remember the day that you and Frank got married in my living room and us with our long dresses on.
We are all going to miss you down here, but we know you are in heaven with all of our family that is already there. Mom and Dad, both sides of grandparents and our precious Stephanie and Wendy. Kiss them all for us and tell them how much we love and miss them.
Lastly, Im sure there will be a lot of "singings" with all of your gospel singers, who have passed away the last few years. You'll be on the front row, singing along with them.
I love you and will miss you forever.
Love, Nancy

Aunt Joy,
I know that I'm the last person you would want to be sad or cry right now so I'm toughing it out for you! I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I'm going to miss you! I'll never forget all the 8:00 am phone calls to "go get us a biscuit" or that you always found some way to leave $5 in my cup holder in my car without me seeing it! Thank you for letting me be a kid when I was around, for telling me to go get dirty and we'd make sure I got cleaned up before my parents came to get me! I'm so glad that you were around for the first 15 months of Tyler's life. Don't worry, he'll hear all kinds of stories about how you used to wear me out when I was bad! Thank you for holding this family together through all the good times and bad ones, we might not be perfect but we are a whole lot better because of you. Don't worry....I won't let them drop you!

I am so sorry to hear about Joyce. She was a good woman. She had a heart of gold. I worked with her at Halmode. She use to give me recipes and there is 2 that I have used all the time since she gave them to me. Chicken salad and potato soup. So there is no way she'll every be forgotten.
If there is anything I can do please let me know.
My prayers and thoughts is with the family.

My heart is so full of sorrow right now that I can't describe it. I can't even begin to realize that I wont ever hear my Aunt Joy's voice again. I can't believe you won't make me macaroni and cheese, or beg me to make you a cheeseball or an eclair cake. Im wondering who in the world is going to feed my daddy!!!! You were ALWAYS sending over leftovers for your buddy Willy to eat, or for the dog. I know Tater will miss all those treats. I wish I could hear you tell me you loved me or you were going to give me a japslap just one more time. Everytime I think I've cried all my tears, my eyes well up again. I've had 32 years with you and I will cherish every memory that I have. Im so glad I was there to hold your hand as you left us and it will always be one of the most precious memories I have. You held my hand and loved me for so long. You better believe Deontae and Tyler will hear all about Nana and about how much she loved us. I miss you so much already. I feel better knowing that one more angel is up there to watch over me and keep me safe. I know you and Grindaddy and Granny and Steph and Wendy are having a wonderful reunion. I love you so much Nana. Mary Frances

Your family is in ny thoughts and prayers. I have waited on Mrs Johnson for many years at the bank. She was always a pleasure to wait on. Then she got to where she wasn't able to come in anymore and I missed seeing her. Find comfort in knowing she is with the lord.

Jessica, Melissa, and Mary,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. You are all exceptionally strong women and I know Nana was so proud of all of you. Keep the memories you hold dear and Nana will never be forgotten. The Heavens now have a second beautiful angel to watch over you. Through your memories and stories, Itzy will always remember his Nana and how much she loved him and all of you.
~In my heart and my thoughts,

Nana, I miss you so much already and love you. I thank you for loving me so much through all my good and bad days! My life again has changed and it will never be the same.I am at peace with the fact that I know your prayers were answered and you are so much happier now and will never have a day of sickness again. It brings comfort to my heart to know that you can see everything and I know it's beautiiful there. I'm sure by now you've found my sister and gave her that hug that I ask for! Lil Itzy (Deontae) has been trying to call you for days, I know he will miss his nana to and I promise I will not let him forget you. Watch over us and help keep us safe. You will live forever through us and the hearts that you touched! I do have to laugh when I think of you saying "I'll bust em up" Nana we will all miss you so much! Until the day we meet again you will never be forgotten nana,you are my hero! - Love Jessie, Itzy and Matt-
