Oh my friend you are so missed...and you've had my mama now for 4 yrs. There are times I feel so alone and time hasn't come for me yet. It has all changed so much. Just know that you are so missed. Please help me to stay on the right path and know which turns to take. I love and miss you so...K

Dawn, the last time we conversed was via email on the Sunday before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast (2005). I told you that I would be retiring from the ROFD the following Spring, which I did. I moved to San Antonio, TX in June 2006. I wish we would have stayed in contact following that time. I had no idea what was about to take place. I can see by the plethora of messages in your Guest Book that you were truly loved by so many people. You were always a very sweet lady like your Mom! I know you...

Mom~ It's mind boggling that you have been gone for 2 years already...Where has the time gone? I miss you more today than that first week. This will be my last entry as I believe your legacy page is going to expire. But it's just a page not you and any thoughts I continue to have I'll just say out loud. You are so deeply missed by all your friends and those of us who loved and continue to love you for all the days of our lives and beyond. May you be at peace and God rest your beautiful soul...

Mom~ Happy Birthday...No I didn't forget you but was traveling to see "My Sister" Danielle. I couldn't have spent your day any better than with family. I love you so much Mom, and think of you everyday...Not one day is skipped that your face doesn't pop into my mind. I know you've been with me lately...The feathers are coming in droves, PLEASE DON'T STOP! I love the constant reminder that my Momma is with me. Not one day will pass that I don't need you and wish I could confide in you. The...

Well, I've been thinking of you all weekend in spite of the fact that we are in South Africa. I KNEW your birthday would come and go one more year, but I would not/could not forget. Know that I think of you often and miss you more. Our girls got together this past weekend in San Diego. I can't wait to talk to each of them to hear what fun they had together! Love you my friend, Charlene

Well Today is your Birthday again and another year without you. Think of you every day and miss you like crazy. I know that you are at peace and that you are watching over all of us. As you know that Emily,Steve, Jim and the girls are all doing well and missing you also. The circle is continuing and life goes on but you are always with us. Love you dear friend, till we meet again. Love Beth

Hey Momma~ I miss you so much. My life sucks without you....I wish you could give me a big hug and tell me it's all going to be okay! I love you.

SO MOM...I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR AVAILABLE..ON FRIDAY WHEN WE GO TO VEGAS, I COULD USE A LITTLE LUCK. HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO HIT A JACKPOT! WOULD YOU BE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL & LEAD ME TO THE WINNING MACHINE OR TABLE!?!? LOVE YOU MOMMA. MISS YOU TERRIBLY. THANK GOD I HAVE CHAR TO KEEP ME GROUNDED AND WITH SOME HOPE OF SANITY! XOXO

One of the hardest holiday season's without you Mom. I feel you with me but I sure wish I could wrap my arms around you and hide my head....I love you Mom. Pais always talks about you and says she loves & misses you. I promise the girls will never, never forget you.
