Dear Abby,
I think of you, Mary & Jim every day, for sure at night in my prayers. It's hard to believe you have been away from us for a year now. Keep sending your Mom those special heart messages ! If you have time and the power to do so, could you look out for Peyton (I worry so about him). I hope you are having the best ballgames ever.
Love you and miss you,
Aunt Debbie

Dear Abby,
One year ago today, you had your last day on earth. I was thinking what would I do if I had one last day. How would I want it to be. I decided that your last day was a pretty good one.
You were anticipating to see your dad, who you only got to see about once a year. You took a drive to Richmond to meet him for lunch, something you never did before. You had lunch at a nice mexican restaurant and said the food was good. You got a homemade gift from your mom,...

Dear Abby, Today it is 6 months since I last talked to you and you got to meet with Dad for lunch at the mexican restaurant in VA. I am so glad that the two of you got to see each other that day, your last day here. He was excited about seeing you. We would have liked to have so many more lunches and days with you. You were growing to be such a wonderful woman, I wonder how you would be at 38, instead of finishing your life here at 28. I treasure the phone conversations we had the same...

Abba,
My girl...not a day goes by where I don't think about you and miss you an Infield horribly. You were the best friend I've ever had with the biggest heart I've ever met. Always there for a friend, the biggest dimples in a smile, and the purest laugh I've ever heard. I have so many memories how can I pick just one...I remember when she broke her leg a few years ago chasing a cat. She had no idea it was broken. She and I sat in the ER waiting for hours for the docter to come back with...

I had the pleasure of playing softball with Abby at Gar-Field. Its been many years since I had seen her but you could never mention her name without getting a smile on your face. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING SOONER BUT I JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE WORDS. WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP W/ MY ABBYKINS...IT SHOULD BE WHAT CANT I SAY? SHE WAS THE MOST AWESOME PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AND I HAVE NEVER MET SOMEONE SO POSITIVE, VIBRANT AND WHO HAD SOO MUCH LIFE. SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE..EVEN IF IT WASNT IN HER POWER. SHE WILL LIVE ON IN ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. MY 4 YR OLD SAW ME CRYING ABOUT IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. HE ASKED ME WHAT...

Dear Lynn and Mike
I knew you at Lakewood State Junior College where we did everything together. I never knew your children as I'd moved to Colorado. But I remember you both and how wonderful a couple you were. Since those days we've kept in contact by emails and Christmas cards-sharing updates on the children and how our lives were going. Lynn-when I spoke with you the other day it seems that 37 years was yesterday and we picked up where we'd left off then. By all the entries it appears...
