Not sure what to say?





I miss you mama, so much. I always think about calling you up or going over to see you but I cant.
But I will welcome you back when you wake up. I hope its soon.

I love you.

I will never forget being in the back room at Bear Valley, helping you sort all the class work, and getting starbursts from you afterwards as our reward. I'll never forget that little red retractable cup from McDonald's that you always carried in your purse with you, and filled up with water when we were thirsty. I'll never forget going to your house on the first day of school each year and taking pictures in the front yard with Deanna, Marissa, and Ryan. I'll never forget going to your house in the mornings for waffles with boysenberry jam. I'll never forget you making me cream of wheat for breakfast and making me eat it in the airplane bowl... I always had to eat until we could see the airplane. I'll never forget you always making me blueberry muffins. I'll never forget you making us grilled cheeses with peaches. I'll never forget going with you, grandpa, and Ryan to Washington and staying in hotels along the way. I'll never forget sleeping over and you winding the bird up that sang before I went to sleep.

I will forget the last few years that we didn't get along. I am so sorry.

Thank you for everything you always did for me. I love you.

Thank you, Jehovah, for giving us the promise of being reunited on earth again with loved ones that have fallen asleep in death.

I don't know where to begin Mama.Thank you is a start. Because of you, I am me. You taught me more than words can ever say. You showed me how to love unconditionally, a gift I will always be grateful for and hopefully a gift I have passed on to my own children. Sleep well Mama. I look forward to seeing you in the new system. This is so wrong... having to write this. I love you Mama. Night night, Susie

My condolences to the whole Hunt/Baker Family. Yours and Grandma Baker's generosity towards me as a child had a huge impact on me. I have such sweet memories of her at school and at her beautiful house.
