Still think of you often. You would be so proud of Cliff. He is running for Congress and is a high school history teacher. Maverick is living with us now and he is doing well. Mom is doing amazingly well. Jeri has had a rough year, but still has the Corley in her. Love you so much.

Thinking of you as I get ready to spend Christmas with Mom and Jeri. Love you always.

Our Marine comes home soon. I know you are always with him. I miss you so much. Mom is taking good care of Steve. You would be proud of them both.
Love forever,
Sheri

It has been awhile. I love you and I feel REALLY bad that I didn't get Kyle out to see you. That was really bad on my part. Only you know how bad I feel about not having atleast a picture of you two together. I do know that you are watching over him though. You are the best Angel I could ever ask for. I know you are watching over all of us. I love you and miss you sooo much.

This last year has found many moments where I catch myself thinking of things I would like to tell you. Time has passed so quickly. I know you are looking down on us and smiling when you see LA and I with Maverick.
I love you and miss you so much.
You are forever the Corley in me.

It has been a year now. I miss you so very much. There are so many things that I want to tell you and share with you. We are doing well.

He is trying to have a normal life. P'nut spent most of the day here with me. She was a tremendous help. We had good...

Jodie-I miss you so very much. There are so many things that I want to tell you and show you. Steve and I are doing really good. He has really opened up here. April's kids all adore him and he responds to them. He has been really good to me. We have a beautiful yard that Steve keeps mowed. We have a stand of pine trees in front and have all kinds of critters visiting each day. He feeds all of them.
Our gardenia is doing well. It was covered with blooms Mother's Day weekend and I...

Mom kept her promise and planted your gardenia..It was in full bloom for Mother's Day. I know you reached down and touched it :-)
I love you so much and still think of you daily.
You are my guardian angel.
I miss you,
Sheri

Our loved ones leave the world, but not our hearts. Jodie is part of who we are, of how we see the world and how we live our lives. Those priceless gifts are ours forever. T, Nikki, Mav
