Halloween night brought up some memories of stopping by your house to bring little brent over to show you his costume and trick or treat. instead we burnt a candle for you! halloween night was the last time i saw you, you were happy! and i guess that's the hardest thing to deal with because i felt you were robbed of that! we all miss you very much, and will always love you mom!

Mom,
I still can't believe it's been a year already, I miss you so much. I try to talk about you or do something to remind me of you every single day. I try to continue the values you taught us everyday in the way I work, live and raise my family. Brent makes me cry everytime he points at your picture and says Maw maw, it tares me up.
I run into people that knew you while we were groing up and it's hard to talk to them, because when I see them I see you. You made more of and impact than you could ever imagine, and I'm proud to have had such a great Mom. I miss you this will be a long difficult day.
Continue to look over us.
Love ya Mom

Mom, it's been almost a year since you passed on to be with Jesus. It's seems like only yesterday that we were on the phone, talking about the kids and catching up with each other.
I miss you terribly, more than anyone can imagine. I pray everyday that we can all find peace through the grace of God. Please, Mom, continue to work through our lives everyday. Please help us to follow the path that you laid for us.
I Love You and Miss You.

Mom, These past weeks have been so difficult without you. The holidays are incomplete without being able to share the time together. I'm really going to miss not being able to do something special with you for your birthday. I'm counting on you to make your presence known to me. Friday is your day - Please be with all of us. I Love you so much. Sheila

Dear mom, I love you so much and wish there could have been more time for you to watch all of your grandchildren grow up. But I know you will be watching from heaven. A day will never pass that thoughts of you will not enter my mind. Thank you for all the sacrafices you made, valuable lessons you taught us, and doing an incredible job raising 7 kids. Despite all of our faults and trouble we would get in to, you never gave up on us and loved us even more. Even in your last minutes when you were waiting for the ambulance, you told Sharon how much you loved all of us. I will miss you so much.

Mom, You know how very much you have meant to me through the years. Though the miles have separated us, you were always on my mind and in my heart. You taught us so much about the practical things in life (being modest, saving our money, never giving up)...all those little lessons that mean so much. You were always the most selfless person I knew, giving all you had to Dad and the seven of us. You were so loving to your grandkids as well.
I remember when we would walk Darlene to St. Christopher when she started school, going grocery shopping on Thursdays, you bringing all seven of us to church on Sundays (even with everyone misbehaving). You didn't bat an eye at any of it. You encouraged me to follow my dream of going to college to become a nurse. You told me to never quit. When I decided to go to graduate school, you cheered me on as well.
Mom, there aren't many out there like you. It's no wonder God was ready for you to join him. I know that you are with us in all that we do and you're not missing any of it. Now, you will see all of our children as they pass their milestones.
Mom, I will miss you terribly and I know that one day I will embrace you again. Give MawMaw and PawPaw a hug for me - and I'll kiss the kids for you. Thank you for giving yourself to all of us and for loving each of us for who we are.

Dear Mom,
I know you are in heaven now. I didn't expect you to leave so soon. There was some things I wanted to tell you, but I will tell you in my prayers because I know you will be listening. You taught me great responsibility and how to be a good Momma for my own children. You supported all the major decisions I made in my life, and I am very thankful for that. Mostly I am grateful that God gave me a great Momma. I love you Mom and will see you again.
love~

Thank you mom for everything you did for me. You were my support with school and career decisions. You were there next to me for my surgery recently. You and dad were there to make sure I was okay, and it didn't end there. I am so gratefull to have spent time with you and I won't forget that. All of your babies are missing you like crazy right now. I love you so much and I will pray for you. Tell mama and papa Ohordorff we love and miss them. P.S. I'll be safe in the hood.

Mom,
I appreciete everything you ever did for me to help me become the person I am today. From all the doctor's visit's throughout my childhood, to staying with me in the hospital all those times, the many speach therapy sessions you took me too, it never ended with me. You were my cheerleader, alarm clock, ride when I needed it, inspiration, pain in the neck (sometimes) lol, always my biggest fan, always some I could call on, so much more.
I'm going to miss our little talks, running into you in different places and bring Brent II by to show how big he's getting. I'm just going to miss you more than I can say and I love you so much.
Thanks for the oppertunities you have given me and my brothers and sisters, we could have never accomplished so much without your support and love. I will be there for Dad and my brothers and sisters. 7 days ago I was holding your hand wondering why this had to happen, but I know that you will be holding my hand for the rest of my life supporting me in all that I do. I don't believe in saying goodbye, that's why I say "See you Later". See you later Mom.
I love you MOM and you will be missed greatly.
You first son,
Brent

I am really going to miss that warm sweet smile when I go to pick the boys up from school. Both of my kids loved Ms. Gayle and were very sad to hear of her passing. She was a very sweet lady and I don't think I ever seen her have a bad day. Always smiling and so friendly. I know she will be missed by everyone who knew her. Ms. Gayle I will miss you so much, and I will pray for your family for their loss.
