Dear Mom & Dad... This weekend is the 4th Of July 2025... The Birthday Of Our Country... I have many memories Of All of our 4th Of July's Growing Up... I remember, Hotdogs and chips... Cold drinks & ice cold watermelon Running through the sprinkler... In the yard to stay cool... I remember, Laughing & playing & having fun... As a family all together... And the fireworks at night They were so loud, but so pretty... I remember, After a day of hot sticky fun... It was into the...

In Memory Of Daphne D. Rankin... (8/21/24 - 6/19/11) My Dearest Mama, Fourteen years ago, 6/25/11... You were laid to rest... I remember how sad I felt... when I had to leave to go home to Mobile, Alabama I didn't want to leave you behind, even though you were now laying next to your own mama and sister... as you had always wanted. I am sorry that I was unable to get up to Illinois this year to visit your grave and put pretty flowers there...You always loved flowers. But my heart is there...

In Honor Of Daphne D. Rankin - ( 8/21/24 - 6/19/11 ) My Dearest Mama, God looked around his garden,... and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills are hard to...

My Dearest Mama... Today is June 16th, 2025 14 years since that fateful day that you fell and broke your hip and went to the hospital. When I got the call, I raced over to be with you, and I am so glad that I did. Little did I know, that those few hours on that day would be the very last for us... I always thought it odd at first that I was the one there with you, the only one. You and I had had always butt heads throughout the years, despite the deep love that we shared with one...
