All these years later, I still think of you, Amzzz and baby Kolby. Life is not fair sometimes. I miss the old days going into Anubis, playing pyramids and chatting and joking around with you, flipper, tiggy, kitty, cray, toasty, kornkiss & Lyn.
Love and hugs,

Well amy again here we sit, you popped into my head tonight for no reason. I keep thinking about all the times we butted heads, it was a challenge for us one we faced head on. I miss you even when you were being a pain. Sometimes when all the ole people show up in the room at the same time I think you had something to do with it, being pushy as always lol. I love you girl and miss you so much... leave me a chair at the table I need all the help I can get. Take care of that bundle of joy...

Amy Amy Amy........ ah woman if only you knew how much we missed you. Funniest thing is it has been a year but only feels like a day. You were definitely something special, different feelings for all of us. I personally miss you im'n me and giving me trouble just because you could. You were THE rock in a hard place for everyone, good or bad you were still Amy refusing to change for anyone. I love you for that. I love you girl and I miss you so much, more then words can say. You would be proud...

I'm Free...
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone will stay that way,
I found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss,
Ah yes,...
