As life continues to challenge me, I'm constantly reminded that I need and miss you. Also reminded of what a blessing and amazing woman you were... thankful for the energy, wisdom, and magic you gave me... FOREVER IN MY HEART

Why does it get harder, when the lessons come? As I grow older, you'd think I would need you less, but that's not true. Sometimes I just need your wisdom, a head nod to assure me Im doing ok. Hurting is very different for a motherless daughter. I miss you so much. I thank God for your spirit. REST WELL.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Happy Birthday Aunt Joan!

Love always
Wanda & Family

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Seems I miss you more today than yesterday and need you more too! EVERYDAY, I wake up and think "what a horrible reality." You were truly my BEST FRIEND and I haven't met Joy & Laughter like I've know with you since you've been gone! As the only girl, I sometimes feel totally alone and then there are days I look in the mirror and see YOU instead of myself and I guess that means you live in me! I always knew one day I'd be filling your shoes. I hope that you are proud of me. I miss my MOTHER &...
