I will remember the winter when we were at the Horseshoe and jumped the snow bank to get to our cars. I will remember playing pull tabs at Lombardi before work and laughing when we ran to our cars so we wouldn’t be late. I will remember dancing in your kitchen most recently and spending the night. I will remember harmonizing together so many times. I will remember how you would bow your head and say “Oh sis” when I was putting on a show, only so I could see you react. I will remember you sitting on your patio, and saying how nice the sun felt on your face. Memories last forever Sis, I will always and forever remember you…

I love you sister Sue.

Cathy, it has been a long time and I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Many memories of the times that we spent growing up together with her. She was one of the many great adopted moms that we grew up with in the neighborhood. She will be very missed.
Stay strong and never let go of the memories.

Sorry for my previous unfinished note Sis. There really isn't anything more I can say except I miss you terribly. Be in peace honey and know you are in my heart forever. I love you, I love you, I love you............ Your Sis, Linda

Sis, I am so thankful to have had these last years being with you so much in spite of distance. We could talk forever about anything and it was uncomplicated and easy. You wanted to come to California to teach me how to crochet but you were so giving and said you would crochet for me. You were gentle, unintimidating and always excited and happy when I called. Your kindness made calling you something fun

To my Mamma--I Love You so much and miss you even more. It's 12:57am and I should be sleeping because I have to be up early so that I can be fresh to say my last goodbyes to you although it will never be goodbye. I had a hard time at 9pm which is the time I would call you every night ever since I can remember....it's amazing to me that I won't ever be able to call you again. I don't know how I'm going to get through this, but I do know that I am very lucky to have the family and friends that I have--I thank you for that. I just want you to know that you are my best friend and always will be. I don't think there will be any day that goes by that I won't feel the pain of not having you to talk to, but I will carry you with me forever.

I love you mom--Good Night....

My heart is saddend for your family. Sheryl and I attended school together and always related because of red hair and freckles...we either chuckled or cried about that! She always wore a smile and was always so nice to me. Auburn just held its' 45 class reunion and we remembered those from our class who were no longer with us. May your family remember your loving moments together and honor your grief. With care and sympathy, Sandy Harris Eakes
