Mom, it’s hard to believe it’s been two years already!! I don’t know where the time went! My heart aches every day without you!! We all love you and miss you terribly! I know you are watching over all of us and that’s what gets me through each day! I hope and pray every day that you know how much of a mark you made in so many lives. You are forever in our hearts! I love you always, always!! Cindy

Mom, I cannot believe it's one year already that you are gone ! I don't know where the time went ! It's been a very long year without you ! We are all trying to adjust to life not being able to turn to you for advice, a conversation, a laugh, a cry or just seeing your beautiful face ! There are so many times I want to pick up the phone to call you about something !! Every night when I walk Lydia, I look up at the sky and talk to you ! I know you are always with me and you are always...

Mom, what will my life be without you? I've turned to you for so many things in my life and now you are gone. I love you with all my heart and I will miss you terribly! You were an incredible mother, friend and an amazing woman. I don't think you ever realized how much of an impact you had on so many lives. But it showed at your funeral when so many people gathered in your honor! Daddy is heartbroken! He knows no other life for 62 years, but we will take care of him so he can go on! We know...
