Well Mama... another year has passed, Calypso just turned 1yr, Captain and Lorelai are growing fast. It saddens me to not have the pleasure to receive your love and the most wonderful hugs you've always given but I know you are watching over them... keeping them safe. I miss you so very much !!

I miss you so much ... your legacy continues to grow, my grandbabies Captain and Lorelai getting so big and another was just born, Calypso Rose. All 3 of them have your eyes, when they look at me it's as if you're looking , watching over me.. I couldn't ask for anything more that would give me such pleasure and joy. Life's struggles has been a bit bumpy recently but you have instilled the strength, courage and love to overcome and taught me to stay focused , thank you for that. I love and...

Gone but never forgotten... I miss you Mama.. I have 2 very beautiful grandchildren now, I know that you're watching over them as you have always done with us throughout our lives. I just wish it was in person for them but I will continue to keep you, your visions, morals and your love in their lives. I love you Mom

Eight years ago today I lost my beautiful mother. God blessed me so much by lending me her. In my mother's eyes I was perfect and she let me know it my whole life. Now don't get me wrong she did teach me right from wrong but when I thought my life was over at 3 years old when I stole that blue robins egg malt ball from the little store in Delmont and she marched me right back in and embarrassed me so bad....lesson learned thou shall not steal.....or when at 5 years old I acted up in church...

Hi Mama... as always I am missing you. My birthday just passed, can you believe I am now 52 yrs old? It seems like yesterday when we would take walks to the bridge singing .. a song for every bird we saw and each flower that was in bloom. I miss hearing you sing to us and playing tag on the beaches. Oh if only I had half the energy you did when you were my age... those were the days I will forever cherish. My boys are men now.. have grown into wonderful men, am so proud of them as I know you...

Mama. .. I'm missing you so much, you wisdom and comfort, your hugs and kisses, your voice, your smile, your touch. But it gives me comfort in a strange kind of way knowing you are at Gods door to welcome us as we passover through heavens gate.i picture Sammy sitting with you on the front porch holding good conversation, laughing an enjoying yourselves. My heart aches without you and my Sammy here with me giving me your guidance, your love and comfort. And now Zebedee has come to be with...

Mama, I miss u so, so much today and everyday. Love you
