Seeing this show up today brought pain and joy. Joy knowing you are sitting with our Lord and savior and pain because I miss you. As we approach the marriage of Kerry I know you will be with us and know she is happy and found a good man that loves her. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you.. You are in our hearts forever and always:) All my love .. Jackie..

Thinking of you a lot lately. Cody talks about you everyday and Kendal sees your picture and says "Grandma." We tell Cody you are his guardian angel. Hard to believe your smile has been gone for almost a year. Thank you for the sign on the cruise that you were with us :) LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

We all miss you so much. It is so unreal that you are gone. Words cannot express the void in our lives. You mean't the world to all of us. There is not a day that goes by where you are needed and thought of. We love you with all our hearts.
