How have I lived 10 years without talking with you, celebrating holidays & birthdays, having that comfort feeling knowing you're always there for me? I miss you so much mom, thank you for giving me my brother and sisters.

Does this empty feeling ever mend since you left us? Ken remarks how often a look I give him or a laugh reminds him of you, that brings me joy. Im finding out how happy grandkids can make you, I just wish they got to know you.

Mom, You are the best Mother and Grandma! I am amazed how you had such a close relationship to each of your 4 kids and 7 grandchildren. You knew everyone's good traits and bad and you loved us all unconditionally. You were always there for us and cared deeply about each of us. You were so excited when your great-grandaughter Kenley was born and was looking forward to watching her grow up and being involved in her life just like you were in all of ours. I miss talking to you, joking around with you, hearing you laugh and listening to your wise counseling. Thank you for making us all who we are today. We have too big of shoes to fill!
