Rain, you know I love you. I am so sad to know Mom is not here with us anymore.I know how close you were to her.

When you get to missing your Mom, all you have to do is look in the mirror and look deep into your own eyes. There is a LOT of your Mom in you.

Mom left an incredible legacy within each and every one of her children. Her strength, character,perseverance, and love have been deeply instilled in each of you. Mom has not left...you just have to look a little harder to find her.

Rain, it is OK to cry. It is ok to miss her. It is ok to feel your grief. Just know there are so many of us out here who love you and would wrap you up in a great big hug if we could.

May God bless each of you as you get through the next several weeks without Mom. After that, they say it will begin to get easier...

Love, hugs and prayers for comfort as you each make it through one more day.

Bill you saved me when you got me that coke. Thank you. Lori you did a great job with your mom! You better feel good about that! Again sorry about Wanda but she is happy and pain free now. God bless.

dearest family, I can not tell you how very, very sad I was to see the obit of wanda on the computer today. she and I go back a long ways. we have known one another for many yrs. I am sending my deepest sympathy and heart felt condolences to all of you,( her fam). I know your hearts are very heavy at this given time, and I wish there was something that I could say or do that would take the pain, hurt and loss away, but I can say this, that I do know your pain. bill and my son duane went to school together in elementary, middle school and high school together. I lost Robert( my husband), 3 mos. before wanda and your fam. lost wayne. I knew wayne before I ever met any of you. it was at chapparal career college, back in 1974 or '75. when we moved out to manzanita terrace in may of 1977, that is when I met wanda, shortly thereafter, because of duane and bill being at while elem. school together. she and I were friends from that day on. I last got to see and vist with her in the summer of 2010, when I was out in Tucson visiting with my daug. chrissy and fam. she and I went and had lunch together and I have a photo of she and I, at the rest. where we ate that day.( casa Molina, on Valencia rd.) she was a great person. I thought a lot of her. we also talked on the phone from time to time and also were on the computer some, when she still had her computer. how I wish I could have seen her one more time. I am praying for all of you, and want you to know that you are not alone. you are in my prayers, and I hope to hear from some or one of you, at least, real soon. please do be in touch. I live here in Amarillo, texas and have since may of 2005. my phone # is "806-355-5646. lori, I had met you a couple of times and I hope you will remember who I am. I know bill does. he and daune were real good friends. as you probably know, we lost duane in feb. of 1991. it will be 23 yrs. the 27th of next mo. that we lost him. please do let me hear from you'all. again, I am, so very, very sorry about the loss of your mom, sister, grandmother, etc. may she rest in peace, and yes, she will be resurrected. god be with and bless all of you. know that I am thinking about all of you, and my heart is very heavy, also, at this time. be in touch.
