Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas, Nanny. We love and miss you, and especially on these days. I know these were your absolute favorite days of the whole year and we wish so very much you were here. I added some pictures of the kids from last night, we had an awesome time at Aunt Bunnys. I hope you have a beautiful Christmas in heaven. Watch over all of us and continue to keep us safe.

Hi Sweetheart,
Today will be six years since God called you home. I miss you so much but Sharon and Duke moving here has been a tremendous help in dealing with your absence. Duke can only come up on weekends to work on his houses so I spend most weekends over there. He has about six acres of grass to mow so I do a lot of that to free him up for his more serious projects. I have helped Sharon with a kitchen remodeling project but Jim and Bunny do the real work.
With both you and Glenda gone it gets lonely but the three cats help as they are always into something. Blackie is still my best buddy. She hangs out with me in the shop and almost always comes up to the car/truck door when I come home.
I have not put up any Christmas decorations this year. Without you and Glenda in the house it doesn't seem like Christmas. However, I will be going down to Bunny's Christmas party and she has done a beautiful job decorating. Peggy has also done a beautiful job and she has showcased some of your decorations.
I Miss You So Much
Your Loving Husband Howard

Hi Nanny, I wanted to say hello. I miss and love you so much. The kids and I moved back home over the summer, and I love living in Homosassa. Please watch out for all of us, and keep us safe. I love you, Nanny. I'm sorry it has been so long since my last message, I'll do better about writing, but I know you know I am always thinking about you.

Hi nanny I know it's been awhile seems like life is going by so fast. Sorry I have not written but you are always on my mind in my heart. Summer is about over and the kids started back to school yay LOL Emily started High School a freshman this year and DJ is in third grade. They're growing up into beautiful smart children/ young adult. Emily is a firecracker but has the biggest heart :-)
Had a dream about you not long ago was a happy one like always! I wake up smiling and sometimes laugh because of the dream :-) I know it was you just checking in letting me know you're still watching over us.
I miss you so much! Wish I could pick up the phone and call you! So much to say and top tell you.
Love you with all my heart
Love,
Mandy

Hi Sweetheart,
Summer is almost over and everyone is really glad including the cats. Blackie is still hanging out with me in the shop. She really likes it now that Mark has the air conditioner installed. It's a heat pump so we will be warm this Winter. I'm still working on getting things setup to bring the Buick in and get back to work on it. I really underestimated how long it was going to take to get the building ready.
I've also been helping Sharon and Duke move into their new homes. Although at my age I'm not sure how much help I really am. Duke and Peggy have a lot of work to do, but it's a beautiful place and the deal was just too good to pass up.
I'm starting to plan our annual fall leafing trip. I think I will fly up to Don's place about the third week of Oct. Don't worry, you'll be with me.
I miss you so much,
Your Loving Husband Howard

Hello Nanny, I'm so sorry I Have not been on here, in a very long time. I have been going through so stuff...Miss you more then words can say, wish you were hare with me, when aunt glenda passed on my bday was so had on me really bad, I miss you both so much..
December 23, 2016
Hi Sweetheart,
It was five years ago today that God called you home. And as always, your presence is still so powerful it's as if you never left us. With both you and Glenda gone I just couldn't bring myself to set up any Christmas decorations so I relied on Bunny's Christmas party for that. And her party was the best yet. Lots of people, great food and a wild Chinese present exchange. She will also be having a Christmas day dinner at her home, so I'm looking forward to that.
You would love the kittens who have now grown into cats. I've been back about six weeks from my trip and Spot, the biggest cat, has not reappeared. The other four were slow to rebond with Dad, but with lots of food and love we're a happy family again.
I will stop by Duke and Peggy's new place this afternoon, Jesse and family should be here for Christmas.
I miss you so much,
Your Loving Husband Howard

Hi Sweetheart,
We had another beautiful spring. As usual the blooms on "Joan" lasted the longest. And your Jasmine is just starting to bloom, can't wait for that incredible fragrance.
Our five kittens are slowly turning into cats. Bunny was going to try and find them a home, but they love on each other so much we don't have the heart to break them up. They spend most of their time chasing squirrels and birds. I don't think they have caught anything yet. Glenda will be very upset if they do. I work on our steel building every time I'm home and one or more always comes down to help me.
The building is coming along very slowly, but that is giving Bunny and I a chance to talk through how we want to paint and decorate the interior and display our memorabilia. The Buick is easy, she'll set right in the middle.
I'm getting closer to retirement, the end of August is it. I'll spend a couple of weeks at home and then head to Don's place. We'll work on stuff around there for two or three weeks and then head for the Duluth, MN area for some site seeing. First of November we will come through the Smokey Mountains for Bunny's annual Log Cabin leafing experience and then home. Don't worry, you'll be with me every step of the way.
I miss you so much,
Your Loving Husband Howard

Good Morning Mom! Thinking of you all the time even though I don't always write. I never forgot your birthday or Christmas! Christmas and your birthday was somewhat hard days, missing you dearly on those special days especially Christmas was your favorite day of the year! My day was a little sad being away from my family, each holiday gets a little harder.
Donna is going through some turmoil recently but getting through it, she knows you are always looking after her and that gives her a smile on her face Keep looking over her as she really misses you dearly as well as the rest of us. Sorry this note is a little short, but I love and miss you BIG!

Merry Christmas Nanny Joan... I love you deeply
December 23, 2015
Hi Sweetheart,
It has been four years since God called you home and yet your presence is so powerful it is as if you are still walking among us.
I had to miss our Christmas party for the first time, but never again. I will retire before October.
You would be so pleased with how beautifully Glenda has decorated our place. Among other things, she has strung hanging icicle lights all along the chain link fence in front. We went to our regular Christmas tree lot and got a really nice full one. Of course she has also decorated that beautifully.
You would also be overjoyed with "Joan", the little azalea bush you transplanted from St. Pete. You always marveled how it struggled to stay alive. It has just exploded since you left us and now is loaded with beautiful pink blossoms and lots of buds. It is the first to bloom and lasts the longest. What a beautiful living tribute to your memory.
I Miss You So Much

Hi Sweetheart,
The summer heat and rain is really making it unpleasant to work outside. Larry The Tractor Guy bush hogged the back. It's a little rough but looks much better than letting it grow wild. I had forgotten what a nice stand of trees we have back there. To keep the appearance up I have bought a heavy duty garden tractor and will start mowing and raking the area. Bunny is going to help, she has her place pretty much where she wants it.
It's been slow going on the shop building. I'm almost ready for them to blow in the insulation. Once they do that I can put up the paneling, paint everything and stain the floor "Georgia Peach". I can't wait to see the Buick in her new "Georgia" home. After I retire I will make a special trip to Thomasville to the places you really liked and bring back some treasures for the house and shop.
I miss you so much,
Your Loving Husband Howard

Hi Sweetheart,
Spring is here and our place looks so beautiful. It's heartbreaking not to be able to set on the porch together and enjoy it. The Jasmine is really growing and in full bloom and the aroma is fantastic. The four little Jasmines we planted in the lattice fence are also blooming. Glenda's Wisteria continues to grow and is blooming.
Bunny was here for 8 days while Glenda was in the hospital. She gave the place a deep clean saving her a lot of work.
I put in a new steel building for a shop when I retire. I'm staining the floor Georgia Peach in your honor. Bunny is picking out the wall and ceiling colors. We'll add some Georgia decorator touches. Of course Thomasville will be well represented. I know you will be pleased.
I miss you so much,
Your Loving Husband Howard

Hello Mom, Sorry I have not written in quite awhile, sometimes are harder than others. Today I saw video from 1958 of people dancing the Stroll! So many memories of you when I was so young came rushing through my mind. When I saw that video, I so remember you dancing (Strolling alone), it was like yesterday. A year or so later, you tried to teach me that dance, needless to say was so young and was really bad! You would tell me how good I was and it made me so happy. You would love to turn on the stereo and dance in the living room and make me smile. I love you so dearly and I miss you so much. I honestly never believed you were going to leave us as soon as you did, and when reality hit me, a part of me died too. I think of you all the time, I love you so much Mom.
On a funny note, I hope Trouble (THE CAT) is behaving herself. Bye Mom for now. Hugs and Kisses from me.

Hi Sweetheart,
It has been three years since God called you home. I'm still in a daze from it all. It's as if you have just left us.
Bunny hoated our Christmas reunion of course. You would have been so proud of our kids and grand kids and soon to be great grand kids. Almost everyone was there and love and fellowship was everywhere.
I miss you so much.

Hi Sweetheart,
Leafing season has come and gone. It was so lonely going without you. I tried to write before but just couldn't.
I went to Cindy's first. Dan and Cindy are doing great, really showed me a good time. Of course little Liam was the star, he is really cute and friendly. Everybody wants to hold him and I got a turn. You would have had a great time with him.
Went to Kent and Bev's next. Kent took two days off. Went to the car show with Kent and Clay the first day. Bought some great stuff. Found out the history of the amusement park airplane ride Don bought when we were all together in Zepherhills that day 10 years ago.
Kent and I went to the Air and Space museum the next day at Dulles Airport. It's filled with some very significant planes and spacecraft. The space shuttle Discovery is the focal point, they left it just the way it looked when it landed for the last time.
Words just can't express how much I miss you. Your Loving Husband Howard

Hi Sweetheart,
I've come home to find our place ablaze in color. All the Azalaes are loaded with blooms. I'm especially thrilled with Daisy and the little one out from it. You were always so thrilled to see it surviving. It has grown about four times as high since you have been gone. It was the first to bloom and just keeps on blooming. I know it and all of the other Azaleas are going all out to give you the most beauitful Spring ever.
I was out to Seattle on this last trip and came back by the entrance to Bryce Canyon, then drove down to Flagstaff. The memories of our Grand Canyon trip are bittersweet beyond words. I would give anything if we could live that trip again.
I miss you so much,

Hi Mom, I know it's been awhile since I wrote you. You are always on my mind and in my heart, I love you so.
I saw Howard today and had a short visit when he was passing through Monroe. I sure hated to see him leave and had a good boo hoo! He is such a good man and to see your ring on his finger makes me feel so good as he loves you so deeply and I am fortunate to have a great second dad! He still running the roads as you know and I hope he can retire sooner. I promise not to take so long to write next time. I cry every time I write, the tears are for missing you and also loving you!!! MISS YOU SO MUCH MOM AND I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT. Give all our lost families up there a big hug for me.
Good night mom until next time.

Hi Sweetheart,
It has been two years today since God called you home. I, and the family, miss you so very much. And yet, your presense here is so powerful it's as if you have not left us at all.
Glenda has done a beautiful job trimming the tree as well as the house and front yard. We'll of course go down to Bunny's house tomorrow for our annual Christmas Eve gathering. Some good news, Sharon and Loyd left this morning and will be here tonight.

Hi Sweetheart, The fall leafing season has come and gone and it was heatbreaking going without you. Some of my fondest memories together are exploring the backwoods of Appalacia in full color. Places like the old grist mill where they ground up our very own bag of corn meal. And the woodcarver where we bought a male and female reindeer made out of tree trunks and branches.
But I did bring you a beautiful drawing of a single longstem rose drawn in pencil by Katie. I've had "A Tribute To Nanny" professionally framed and Jim will post it here.
I miss you so. Your Loving Husband Howard

Hello Mom,
Been awhile since I wrote you so I am writing today! I miss you so much dear sweet mom. I came across a verse and thought of you, so here it is. "2 Thimothy 4:7-8, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith :Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness , which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:, and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
My prayers are always with you and you are always in my heart. I LOVE YOU.

MY DEAR MOTHER, I miss you so much, not a day goes by I don't think about you. Howard has set up such a beautiful memorial for you, that is set in the perfect place in the yard. Strange to see flowers blooming so well for you now. Mark has finally married sweet Tiffany, wish you had been there in person, but we know you were there in spirit watching. Hard to believe Jamison finally graduated from the academy, we never thought that day would come! We are so proud of him. We pray to God to look after him when he becomes a police officer.
You are always in my dreams until I write you again. Your loving daughter.

Hi Sweetheart,Spring is here and the Azaleas have bloomed. I wish we could sit on the porch together again and watch them.The big one by the porch was full of blooms and looked fantastic. The spunky little one you transplanted farther on out by the driveway is growing and had an extra amount of beautiful blooms this year. I think it was thanking you for saving it.The birds love their feeder. The male and female cardinals are still together, just the way we used to be.Sharon bought a Memory Bench for you and placed it on the other side of the white picket fence next to the ever growing Jasmine that you also saved.You Memory Bench has a beautiful inscription that says how much we all love and miss you: "If Tears Could Build A Stairway And Memories A Lane I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again"Forever In My Heart, Your Loving Husband Howard

I was thinking about all the Christmas' we had, an sometimes I wish so much we could all be kids again. There was nothing bad in the world, we didn't know about the bad things. I miss riding home from your house on Christmas Eve, looking at all the lights on the houses, knowing that Santa was coming. Now I get to do it with my kids. We will be baking cookies sunday, an getting ready for all the fun things to come. I want to say I love you so very much Nanny, an I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas in Heaven with T-Ma. We have you sitting on the mantle, enjoying everything with us too. We love an miss you so much, Merry Christmas Nanny.

Hi Sweetheart,I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to write. I'm not sure why, but I think by writing this I have to face the fact that God really has taken you for your eternal rest, and I just don't want to accept that. I miss you terribly, as does the whole family.
Christmas will soon be here and it's going to be very difficult for all of us. It was heartbreaking taking the tree down last year and packing away our precious decorations. I wasn't sure I could even put up a tree this year, but you loved Christmas so much I just couldn't do that. So Glenda and I got a fresh cut tree from the same lot as last year and we'll trim it with all of our favorite decorations. I have a picture of our last tree and we'll duplicate it. Although you can't be with us in person, your powerful loving spirit is guiding us all.
God Bless You SweetheartYour Loving Husband Howard

Hello MOM,
Thinking of you today as I do everyday! I so remember our last Thanksgiving together last year. You tried to be so strong for that day with all the company you had. I will cherish that last Thanksgiving day with you, Howard and Glenda for as long as I live! Look over us and help take the pain away from us. We love and miss you so much!!! I am sure you know that. You went out of your way for us to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner together that day and you made it come true, especially your last and I know you knew that! Not a day goes by that I do not think about you! My heart aches for you so much, but I know you are looking over all of who love you. Just a little laugh for you, that cat of yours still hates me!

Nanny,
I miss you more than anyone could ever know! I wanted to let you know, our movie was on a few months back, and with out even thinking, I called you to let you know, and then realizing, I can't, because you wont answer. There has been so much that has gone on since you went home, and I know that you watch over me and the kids. I wish so much I could hear your voice again, and listen as you give me advice, I miss you so much! Nanny, you where the best grandmother any girl could ever have, and I am so thankful god made you mine, I love and miss you so much Nanny, and I pray that you are resting well.
Your Granddaughter,
Jessie Lee

Hello Mom, me again! Just wanted to let you know I so miss you and not a second goes by that I do not think about you. I know you are looking over me and I can feel you near me! My heart aches for you so much and I really feel guilty not living down there like I told you I would because I wanted so much to be by you forever! I do know you do not hold it against me and I treasure the last little time I had with you before you went to the LORD! He needed you more and he was ready for you. Someday we will be together in Heaven and we will have a good time, all of us, Daisy, Grandaddy, Larry! I miss you so, so much, but I know you were ready to be with your family and someday we will follow and ALL be together.

My most precious mother anyone could ask for, I miss you so deeply! I think of all of the time Mom and I wish I could have just one more day with you, even to heat your coffee just the right way you like it. You made the best tuna sandwich in the world! The little things are priceless! Your soft voice you spoke to everyone, giving my sweet stepdad Howard, your solemate that tone of voice, I will never forget. We get a kick out of your ways. I miss you with all my heart and it hurts so deeply sometimes not hearing your voice and talking to you. Someday we will have a few laughs together. You have such a wonderful husband that mourns for you and always talks about you, but he knows you are there traveling with him and looking after him on his long trips! He is truly a blessing to you and all of us! Thank you for having him in our life! I MISS YOU SO MUCH MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say that I had the honor of knowing "Nanny" and since day one she was a kind and caring woman. I remember always needing allergy medicine everytime I would visit because I am allergic to cats. She would always take care of me. She was loved by many and will be missed. God rest her soul and continue to bless her family. I know she is watching over us all as an angel. Let us all love each other more every day. As we know life can be gone in any given moment. God bless Nanny and us all.

CLASS AND GRACE
I am in awe of the incredible CLASS and GRACE you showed in preparing all of us for your ascent to HEAVEN. As your time on earth neared an end you would passionately assure family and friends: "Don't worry about me, I've had a good long life, fantastic kids, and grandkids, a rewarding nursing career, a wounderful husband and now I'm ready to meet "Momma", "Daddy" and "Buddy" in HEAVEN.
God Bless You Sweetheart
