Nell W. Drake

Mother,
Another Halloween has come and gone. Miss you lots. I remember all the fun we had decorating.

Mother,
Matt used your manhole story last week to make a friend. You're still helping out. Just wanted to say thanks.

Mother,
It's been a while since I've written anything in your book, but I think of you every day, especially a beautiful day like today. I love you,
Dona

Mother -
Happy Birthday. We all miss you. Someone at the church told me how much they missed your Christmas house. They had the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts do a show for the children and are taking some children to see the Velveteen Rabbit with the Nell Drake Christmas fund. You're still around. We love you, Dona

Mother -
It was a year ago today that we spent that wonderful Labor Day together. What a special day that was. I'll never forget it or you. I miss you and love you, Dona

Mother -
We're getting ready for the 4th. I need to find your red, white, and blue dishes. We miss you, Dona and Steve

Mother
The internet was down Christmas and New Year's but you were sorely missed. We missed all your Christmas holiday festivities and Christmas morning breakfast. The egg nog and movies on New Year's will always be remembered, too.
Love, Dona

Mother -
December 9th wasn't the same without you. Hope this was your best birthday yet. We miss you.

Mother - We had a nice Thanksgiving but missed you so. I remember how you used to fix Thanksgiving dinner for me and Daddy after the Tech-Ga. Freshmas games. And that wild Shriners Oriental marching band!
