Junior,
Today I learned that Jess is not doing to well, Stay by her side and hold her hand. I miss you baby,this year without you has been so hard.
September 16, 2008
I thought I was finished with my entries into your guest book, but here it is, September 16th and I just can’t keep my thoughts from thinking of you. Some of my day I spent praying for Jess, but as your Mother reminded me, you would be there holding her hand and making sure nothing goes wrong. I spoke to Shannon for the first time since Carlie was born. I have been trying to be as active as I can be so that I don’t have to think of the reality that is hitting me in the face, YOU ARE ON LONGER WITH US. My sweet nephew, I love you so much and I just don’t know how we are going to get over this, there just is no way to get over the pain.
You know, if there was a ladder that could reach up to heaven, I would find a way to climb up just to see your sweet face. I would have you hug me and kiss me on my cheek like you always did. You were such a great nephew, until I see you my sweet baby I’ll never forget just how many times you offered to help Woody and I, “anytime” you always said. I guess there couldn’t be a stairway to heaven because I would never be able to leave you behind. If you couldn’t come back with me, well I’d just stay up there with you. You see it is easy to climb up a ladder to see someone you love, but one could never make the journey back alone, it would be way to hard for just one.
To Carl E. Locklear, Jr.

Today is like I'm saying goodbye again. I read all the entries in your book. You had so many faithful friends and family,you were blessed here on earth so many people love you but that's expected you were a lovable and unforgettable kindly guy. As I write this entry I want it to be without tears because that's how you would've wanted it.Again I say goodbye to a brother that made me proud for just being YOU. I love you.

It doesn't seem like it has been a year already. I know you are at peace, and watching over all of us. God had a plan for you and it is evident in this book. You can tell by the many responses that you have touched many lives, and will continue to do so. Junior you will never be forgotten and will always be remembered. Thank you Junior for touching my life and my families.

Junior,
One year ago today was the worst day of my life, the day we lost you. So many hearts will forever be broken, and me as your mom will never be the same, I loved you so much and only wanted the best things in life for you as any mother would have wanted. I'm so sorry you never found that. I'll miss you every day of my life, and can't wait to see you in heaven. Watch over Jess today she really loved you, I went to see her last night she showed me her wedding pictures, you looked so handsome in them that I couldn't help but cry.She still has a message on her answering machine from you that she will never erase, when I heard your voice I thought I would die. All the love I have for you came out, and I just cryed, I miss you so much.Shannon had her baby and we named her in honor of you. CARLIE JUNE HORTON. You were a great father and uncle.It makes me so sad that the kids will miss out on one teriffic uncle and Dalton I know must miss you every day because he loved his dad so much. Rest In Peace now my beloved son.No one will ever forget you.
With all my love always and forever MOM

Junior & Family,
One year ago, God took a huge tragedy and turned it into a blessing for my family. We will always be so grateful for the precious moments you have given us with our dad. Moments we came so close to not having. I hope that God blesses all of you like he has blessed us.
Thank you,

You know I would be the first one to write in here tomorrow but I won't be able to. My surgery is tomorrow first thing. I miss you so much and I wish you were here to do this with me. I know you would have made everything ok. Since I will be in the hospital for the rest of the week this will probably be the last time I get to write. Please know that you will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I will never forget you and that beautiful smile. I love you Jr.
Love Always,

Hi Junior
As this year comes to a close so much has changed in our lives we will always grieve the lost of your young life and the joys you brought to everyone. I remember you as if it was yesterday being a child with a bright loving smile then a young man 17 getting his first car in N.C how happy you were that day when your mother and I followed you back to Baltimore. I know your Mom will always miss you so much as you were always there for her what a wonderful son. I know she was very proud of the man you had become. We are all proud of the father you had become. I was looking at pictures tonight of your new niece your name sake Carlie June born on Sept 11th she looks so much like you too she is a blessing to your Family. This guest book has been just wonderful but I know it is getting ready to close I will be talking to you through prayer until we can meet oneday. I do not want to say goodbye as it feels like forever. So I will just say see you later Honey. I will be looking for you oneday and your Dad keep him on the straight an narrow.
Love Always Aunt Natalie in Ocean City MD

It has been almost one year Junior since you have been gone from us, and as I sit here typing these words today, it seems that all the pain is rushing back into my heart. ONE YEAR. How did we get through it; I guess we had no other choice.
I continue to attend grief counseling and read books. I no longer cry every day for you, I’m down to a few times a week. I continue to read books on death and dying. I think all these things along with having my talk with the medium so that I could talk to you, my mom and grandparents have helped me a lot.
As I sit here and type my last message to you on your Guest Book, I think how much has changed. The most recent thing is that Shannon delivered a beautiful baby girl, Carli June, and we will call her Junnie. That is what we called you, and if I’m not mistaken Katie started the trend. Carli reminds us a lot of you. She has the Locklear look for sure. I can’t wait to meet her and hold her.
Your Father passed away but you already know that, I’m sure.
Katie graduated last year’s college and is now a sophomore; just registered in the nursing program. I am so glad you told me that you “ have her back “. You know how much she loves you and she cried when she listened to my tape with the medium.
I just want to close with this. You are missed so much by your family and friends. I continue to pray day and night for you, I love you so Junior. We may have said this before, but you were such a gift to this family. You were the last to work on Katie’s car and it just keeps on running without problems. I know that you also are looking after her as she drives, but I’m hoping she will not be driving to Baltimore any time soon.
I love you Junnie and I will continue to talk to you in my prayers.

Hey jr. I know now what happened to all those times I wrote in the book and the message got lost. I just did it today. I wrote about the trip we took to NC or SC amusement park went to make a spelling error and lost the whole message. We went to the park that had the star wars figures walking around. It was you,Al, Jessic,Stephanie Robbie. I went into the hotel on the park to register and found out it only cost me $59.00 a night and that covered enterence to the park, boy we hit luckie street that time. everyone had a good time you and al would hit the rides all day long while me and the kids went to the kiddie rides. You and Al would help with the kids when we would go to eat.
I think the whole vacation I didn't have to raise my voice once Al skint his nose on the bottom of the swimming pool one night and we couldnt stop laughing that night. those were some of the good times we had. Hershey park what fun we had those memories will never fail.
I hope I can write again before the book closes, see ya Love Always miss linda and family
September 3, 2008
Junior,
Today your father joined you in Heaven today. Ever since the day you left us I felt so bad for your Dad because he couldn’t do anything but think of his son no longer walking through his door to see him.
Well I would bet that you were there to greet him at Heavens Gates. I can just imagine the smiles on both of you faces. The Lord allowed your Dad to lie in bed, paralyzed from the neck down for 6 years, but he wouldn’t let him grieve a full year knowing the pain your Dad was in without you here. What an Amazing Lord we serve! The Lord took your Dad a few weeks before the 1st year was upon us. Praise God for that.
I love you Junior and I still think of you each day. It may be a picture I look at, or a memory that comes to mind. I’ve been thinking a lot of you from when you were little. I remember when I let you and Shannon pick out my new car. It was the little red sports car. I can’t even remember the name, but I can remember how excited you were that I would let you little angels pick out my next car.
I will keep on talking to you baby, I love you that much!
Love,
Aunt Donna

Junior,I spent the day with Destiny and Dalton today, Dalton looks and acts just like you. I miss you so much.Last night Shannon and I watched a video we found from Thanksgiving 2006 you were in it holding Ericka and then later cutting the turkey, just to see you alive and moving and calling me mom took my breath away. Shannon and I both just cryed, we miss you so much baby. You were not only an amazing son but such a beautiful person, your smile would light up any room and any body that ever met you just fell in love with your great personality. I love you my son and there will forever be a hole in my heart for you untill the day I die and you meet me in heaven.
Love your proud MOM

Carl,
I know that things happen for a reason and that everyone has a path in life. I just don't understand why I had to have my son so early. I know that he is doing great and better then expected but I would like to ask you to help me watch over him. He needs all the angels he can get. Please watch over him and keep him safe when I can't be with him.

To my nephew,
I wanted to place an entry on the 16th of August to mark the 11th month since you've been gone from us but I haven't been able to get up much due to my pain. I decided that dates were not important, it was the love in my heart that I have as I write to you in your guest book that is what is the most important.
I still feel very connected to you Junior, as if you are with me all the time. I know that this is a hard time for me now, but when I go into the 3rd bedroom and read, I begin to hear little sounds. I try to ignore the sounds, the creaks etc., but they just get louder. This sounds strange, I know, but I know you are trying to tell me “ Aunt Donna, Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side through all the bad stuff. I’ll be there for the surgeries you need and I’ll be there to hold your hand when Tayla has her surgeries. “ Just like you said to Katie, I got your back.
Your Aunt Donna Loves you so much baby and I am still praying for you every single day. Until I can see you again, I ‘m sending this big hug to you. Love you baby !
Nancy Lambert

Gage, Destiny, Dalton,Ericka, Elise,Devin, and even Carlie will be here in Shannon's belly so you know how happy I will be. I love you baby, watch over all of us.

Hey Jr.
Thinking of you today as I read the new entries in your book. You were such a wonderful person, dad, friend and son I can understand why god needed a angel like you. You were always ready to lend a helping hand to others. Being the real loving caring person, I guess with all that said. It makes it so hard to understand and accept what happened. I know that your frame of mind was not right that night. If it was things would never have happened. It is not for us to pass judgement nor blame on anyone, or seek revenge. God had a plan for you as he does for all of us. I know you are watching over all of us and
caring for us. Robbie got a new car
yesterday 08 Honda accord. He still hasn't stopped smiling yet. Time for me to go, Love always, Miss Linda

Hey Jr, It has been a while since I have written you. I think its wonderful how many people continue to write in the guest book. Mrs. Nancy I think that is a huge testament to the son that you raised, and I know its calming that he turned out to be the wonderful man that we all remember. Jr I know you are in heaven right now, and keeping a watchful eye over all of us. I know that my daughter has a guardian angel in heaven. Thank you for giving me that peace of mind. I saw that picture of Me, Jason, and Al and I know that you will always be there for us. Jr you will never be forgotten, and you will live on with everyone who you have touched.

Hey sweet baby boy, how is it up there in heaven today? I haven’t written to you since my birthday.
I told Woody that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was to talk to a medium so that I could make contact with all the family members that have left us, especially you. My grief counselor has given me the names of many books to read on this subject, and in reading them we learn that you really are not gone, you are just in a place that we cannot see you or touch you, but you hear all of our thoughts and you come to us when we need you. Well, on 7/25/08, I got to learn this first hand. I think that even Woody was surprised when you made a joke about his belly. Susan said “who is Woody”, when I told her Woody is my husband she laughed and said that you were poking his belly and said that he needed to lose weight. That is just like you Junior, to joke like that with your Uncle Woody. I was touched when Susan told me that you are aware that every night I pray that Jesus will hold you in his loving arms and that Jesus is taking care of you.
I sent the tape to your Mom and she is making copies to send out to the ones who were mentioned in our talk, such as Carmella, I made sure she got your message. I’m sorry I didn’t know that Vince got a tattoo in your honor, but when your Mom told me that he did so, I sent an email to Susan and told her that she was correct. I really feel at peace now my sweet baby nephew. It was also amazing that my grief counselor told me that she went to a seminar with James Van Praaugh, and when she and another lady sat down to read each other the lady said “ Junior is here “. My grief counselor told me that she does not know anyone who goes by Junior and she knew it was you. I’m actually reading a book of James Van praaugh at this time. There is so much I want to write about the tape, but to all Junior’s friends, please feel free to contact me or Nancy and we can tell you about my contact with Junior or even send you a tape.
Junior, on 9/16/07, I thought you were lost to us forever. Through you death I have learned that we do not die, we just go to another place where we learn from our mistakes made here on earth. We do answer for our sins in heaven, that is for sure, but we get a chance at forgiveness and love that only the Lord, Jesus Christ can give to us. It has been so hard learning this lesson from your leaving us, but I guess that is how it had to be to get our attention. I know that I will never take another day here on earth for granted and I will not hold grudges against anyone, it is not for me to judge. I hope that everyone can learn something from this tragic loss of two loving young men. Don’t hate, but love each other. Don’t argue who is right or wrong here on earth, God will solve all disputes in heaven. Enjoy all friendships with family and friends, for that is what is pleasing to God. When we are gone, it is too late to say I’m sorry.
Nancy Lambert
August 14, 2008
Junior I know your OK, and that your in a way better place then we are, I know you hear my thoughts and prayers, I feel you around me. My mind knows all these things but my HEART just don't understand. I miss you so much baby. always have always will.
Love you, MOM
Bucky
August 13, 2008
Jr, to even think so many that loved you have to say goodbye. Through these pages with tears on electronic paper, yet, hearts have poured out the love that you stood for and the friendships you have sealed with such a good heart continue to ache from your loss.
The irony in life is that we seem to always say goodbye and it never is easy. Anne Murray sings a song Somebodys always saying goodbye. But the hardest goodbye is this one. When you lose someone so young and so tragic like you left us.
But I have hope and prayer that you are in the arms of the Lord and that your burdens have been washed away with the prayers of your loved ones. I would pray I could ease their pain some how even if just a little and I am sure you would as well.
Here is to that big grin and good memories. Peace Jr
August 12, 2008
Jr sorry for not writing you for a while i do read this every time i get on the computer i cant believe its going to be a year next month time went by so fast i wish you were still here i dont know what im going to do when i cant read what your friends and family sent you anymore ill have to call your mom more often i miss you...

Hey Jr. I used my kitchen wizard you
got for me on Christmas, Mothers day, or my birthday. I can't remember which, everytime I use it I think of you, this happened to everytime even before you passed.
The knob has a piece broken but it still works. It still works good and I still remember you saying how you didn't know what to get. What a wonderful gift that was to have lasted this long. I think you were only about 14 or 15 when you got it.
Time is running out to be able to talk to you, so I want to as often as I can to share the memories I have with you again and others.
Love always, Ms Linda

Junior, how amazing it is to be able to contact you through a medium, today Donna sent me her tape from her medium session and I listened to it two times already. How great it was to here that my mom thought I was a saint and how powerful it was to know that my dad who has been dead for 23 years was there when you crossed over. I'm so glad that my dearest friend Tom of many years who loved you and prayed for you when you left us .When he died a few months back I asked him to look after you ,and when the medium told Donna that Tom went straight to you I knew you were OK. She also talked about what a wonderful father you were and how you loved being a uncle.She was so right when she said you were a loving and thoughtful being, but that you were sorry you hurt the ones you loved down here and that your sorry for our pain.No one blames you Junior, you were and will always be loved by us.
Love your mom

Hey Buddy,
This is a picture we took at a christmas party in Dec, we saved a space for you, that's where you would have been standing if you had been there, we felt your spirit all night and knew that somehow you were there with us. When we got the pictures back,it blew us away, this picture was the only one on the roll that came out like this. We knew it was you Junior. You never could miss a good party (ha ha ha ). You are missed every day by your friends, We Love You

Hi Just to let you know I was thinking of you today, as everyday. I have seen so many cars and trucks with you driving, I would have to do double take. I know that you are up in heaven looking down at us but I still feel that you are with us. So many times I look up to your moms, and see the red truck
it is like I just think you will get out
and wave. I remember the years and
hope to get some of the pictures to put in your book. You were very special and you will always be.
Love you, miss you, see ya later one of these days. Love Ms. Linda

Sure wish I could see you today, I miss you so much, This world just don't seem the same without you in it. A piece of my heart went with you, and I always feel so empty inside. I sit and look at your pictures and just wish I could talk to you one more time. Junior I hope you knew how wonderful a son I thought you were, sometimes we take for granted telling the people we love the most how we feel daily, because we always think there will be tomorrow but for me and you tomorrow never came anymore. I love you so much Junior, you were a wonderful son, and I can't wait to see you again in heaven....

Hey my sweet Nephew,
Today is my birthday and exactly 10 months since you left us. It is hard to believe that it will be one year in two months. How can that be? It seems like it was only a short time ago all was well or at least we thought it was ; now you’re gone from us for what seems like forever. I know that we will see you in heaven when it is our time, but I long for the days that we all got together and celebrated the Holidays. I can recall my mom’s cooking in the kitchen and all of us just talking and enjoying the children we were blessed with. Those were the days, but they are gone forever now.
I know that you are aware of the difficulties I have had since you left us. For my birthday I asked Woody if he would allow me to contact you through a medium and he reluctantly agreed; he has a hard time with contact of the hereafter but he also knows just how much I need to contact you. I can’t wait for this and there was a cancelation so it will not be long until I get my only wish for my birthday. You better be ready to speak to me and I want you to be the first one to come through! I have read so many books on this subject and now I get to find out some things that have been ripping my heart out.
I spoke to your Mom today and she sounded so sad. You know she will never get over not having you here. All Moms feel the same, the parent is supposed to go first, not the other way. I know her pain because it has ripped at my heart as well. You know I’ll never be the same again. I always carried a smile on my face; now my smile has disappeared.
I do seem to be thankful for the little things in life now; the sound of birds, the beautiful sky’s that the Lord makes for us each day, the mountain and lake view I get to enjoy each day. What I don’t understand is why did I have to lose my sweet nephew to enjoy these things. I guess we just take things for granted until they are no longer here. The lesson I’ve learned; I never take things for granted. I always make sure I tell Katie and Woody just how much I love them and I tell your Mom how much I love her as well each time I speak to her. Again, why did you have to leave us for me to make sure I share my feelings each time I speak to a loved one. I’ve also worked on forgiveness. I know that you are proud of me for that. You never held a grudge.
Well baby, I guess I’ll be talking to you real soon and I can’t wait.
Your Aunt Donna loves you so much !

Junior, I was just thinking of you during the 4th of July Holiday. I feel that I got through your B-day ok, but since then I find myself with tears running down my face and I try to hold them back, but that just isn't possible. I love you too much to hold back my tears of missing you. When will the pain stop, I believe the answer is never, not until I get to see you and hug you again. My tears will keep rolling down my face until the day they lay me down and I'm with all my loved ones in Heaven. That will sure be a celebration. I love you my sweet nephew. We'll talk soon !
Love Aunt Donna

Junior,
Today is the 4th of July, we got up this morning and went to the parade like we do every year, and how wonderful you must have felt when you looked down and saw Destiny and Dalton sitting there with us, I looked around and everyone was there but you. I miss you so much. We came back to the house for a cookout and the kids went swimming. I love you Junior, my heart is always breaking, another holiday without you.

Junior,
Today July 3, 2008 you would have turned 28. I feel your presents nearly everyday. I feel that you haven't crossed over yet and you are still with us, watching over us, and helping us cope with our great loss. "Happy Birthday Son" you were like one of my own. Like you said to me "Your like a second mom to me" I will never forget those words. It just seems like yesterday fixing lunch for you and Al when you both were going to Southeastern VoTec. , Al's Sr. prom you guys sure looked great in that limo. All those memories will never fade. I still feel your presents everyday. Your picture is next to Als on the TV. So much I wish I could turn back the hands of time. But God has you watching over us untill we all meet at Heavens gate. With you went a part of my heart. You will also always
be Robbies "Hero".
Loving you always as one of my own,
Miss Linda

YOU WERE ONE IN A LIFETIME
People come and go in and out of our lives, some family and some friends, and we feel the pain of missing that person when they are called home to Heaven. After awhile we are able to go on with our lives, as it should be, knowing they have reached their new home in paradise.
There are, however, those special people who come into our lives and we know that we were honored to be in their presence. As it turns out my baby, you were one of those very special angels who planted a stamp of love on all the hearts of the special people who got to truly love you, and those who bare that stamp will never be able to forget that special person you were and we will never forget that we were honored to call you family, or friend, and in my case, nephew.
It is your Birthday; you would have been 28 years old today. We can’t celebrate with you here on earth, but you are in the hearts of all who truly loved you Junior. There is a big celebration going on for you down here and I know that you are looking down and that you are proud that so many still remember, I told you baby, we will never forget. My celebration of your birthday will be in my heart, just as it will be for many others. I know that you are looking at all of us saying,” don’t be sad, for you will be with me one day, then we can celebrate together”.
I was thinking last night about all the times that you would tell me and Woody “ if you need anything just let me know, I’ll be happy to help you” and there were those times that we did call on you and you were always there, ready to help. You were so kind, sweet and thoughtful Junior, and there just aren’t many left here on earth that were like you, YOU WERE ONE IN A LIFETIME !
I’ll say goodbye for now my sweet nephew. I will never forget you, not ever, and I will always carry your stamp of love in my heart for you; until I see you again in Paradise, Big Kisses and Hugs to you baby.
May God continue to keep you safe in his loving arms and may you never forget the ones who were true in their love for you, the ones who carry your stamp of love, GOD BLESS YOU !
Love Aunt Donna

Carl,
I know that it has been a while since the last time i wrote to you however i do talk to you a lot. I just want to formally thank you. I have tried for 4 years to have a baby and now i am 5 months pregnant. I don't know if you had anything to do with this because you know how much I wanted this but I still just want to thank you as for I'm sure you had something to say about it atleast. I miss you so much and I wish so much that I could be telling you this in person. You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I will always think of you and my son will know of your great heart and hopefully want to be just like you one day a kind and caring man who has the biggest heart I have ever known. Thank you for being a part of my life and thanks for my little miracle.

Hey Junior. I know I haven't written in a long time, but here I am sitting at work. Its my late night so I'm here til 7:30. & on my late nights when I am here alone I always get to thinking. I've been thinking all day about you & the reason is because Poopie's starting to walk. I called Kristie yesterday because it was her birthday, & she told me he has started taking his first steps. I was so happy & over joyed I started to get tears in my eyes. He's getting so big & so fast. Its hard to believe he's one already. I haven't been able to spend as much time with him as I've wanted to, but I find comfort in knowing your there watching over him all the time. Not only are you his god father, but your his angel as well. He's so lucky : ] I hope you were able to watch our nephews first steps. I know your were holding his hand telling him it would be okay all the way. Well, I just wanted to share that with you. Good night Junior : ]

Hello to you my sweet baby nephew,
I was reading the last few entries in your guest book and I just started to feel so sad. I spoke to your Mom during the Memorial Day Holiday and I don’t think I have ever heard her sound so sad, so broken. Your Mother is always the strong one holding everyone up, and it makes me feel so bad that I can’t be there to hug her when she cries. I was so happy to hear that you did pay your Mom a visit and it was very uplifting to her. Do you see how much we loved you baby boy. Just one little thing from you can lift us up out of our sorrow. I know that you are still here with us and your Mom does as well.
I want all your friends to know that you are very happy in heaven and if they are feeling sad or broken, like you need the comfort that only Junior could give, just ask him to come to you and he will. You may not see him but if you stop to feel and listen, you will feel his presence. I know this because I have called on him many times and he has never forsaken my, not one time.
Aunt Donna still cries for you baby, but they are my tears of sadness and sorrow. I know that you are where we all wish we could be, in paradise, in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Continue to watch over the ones who cry for you baby. Their names are all listed in your Guest Book.
Love,
Aunt Donna

I can't hear you wonderful laugh or see your beautiful smile. I miss you so much that it makes me mad. I want my friend back.............

It has been 8 months ago that you left us Jr., and my heart breaks today as it did then. I have some good days that I thank God for, but I miss you and I just want you back here with us. I never thought I could ever feel this type of pain in my heart. Whenever I think of you and how you left, my heart feels like it is being ripped out of my chest. I know that you are aware of when we are sad, but today I just couldn’t hold back baby. I’m sitting here with tears just running down my face. I went out to my tree tonight and could not say too much because I think I would have just lost it. It is so hard keeping it together, especially as the months roll on and on and on. Just know Jr., that I love you so much and I am so sorry your life was cut so short. Know that your family and friends miss you so very much and we would give anything to have you back with us again. Just to see that beautiful smile of yours would be such a gift. What a wonderful soul you were and such a blessing to this family. How are we expected to get over this ? over you? Yours is a loss that will never be forgotten, not one thing will be forgotten.

Hi my sweet nephew.
Katie is on her way to Baltimore for the summer. I need for you to watch over her as she drives back and forth.
We went out to dinner yesterday for Mother's Day and I thought of you so often during our celebration. I know now that you do know who much I love you, you are my sweet nephew, that will never change until I get to you in heaven.
I always think about the celebration our entire family will have once we are all there with you, WOW, everyone thought we could throw a party down here, just wait till we are kicking it up in Heaven.
As you can see I'm doing a little better. Your Mom's tape helped me so much. I am so proud that you remembered me when you spoke to her with the help of the medium. Jr. You said all the things that help me deal with not being able to be there on your last viewing day which has been something I could hardly bear. You know sweetheart, you are my sunshine, here and there.
Keep coming to see me Jr., you pick such random times these days that I know you are just laughing at me because it takes me by surprise. Thanks for not allowing me to feel alone. I love you !
Love Aunt Donna

I am sure you know I have had a pretty bad week. I know you were watching over me while I was in the hospital, I could feel it. You said you would come when I needed you most. I think I got your message to not give up. I won't let this thing beat me. Thanks so much for helping me.
Love you

My sweet nephew, I miss you every day and night. I have had a few days of being able to smile and listen to the birds and enjoy all that the Lord has given to us here in Tennessee. The water is on its way to our dock and Woody is very excited to be able to put the boat in and our new jet ski. I pray for good days Jr because the bad ones are so bad for me. I try to read the word of our Lord and to be thankful for what he has given me. I know I am lucky that you come to see me so much, but I always want more, I just want you back here forever. This life was just not fair to you, was it. I keep on thinking about what we have been told, that you are happy in Heaven and it makes you sad to see us sad, I am trying to be happy for you my sweet nephew. They say that once you are in heaven you really understand just how much a person loved you and I know that you felt my love for you like my son, my baby boy. I wanted to put in a verse from my daily devotionals,
Romans 7:4
In the same way, my brothers and sisters, your old selves died, and you became free from the law through the body of Christ. This happened so that you might belong to someone else-the One who was raised from the dead-and so that we might be used in service to God.
I know that you will do God's good work in Heaven, and until I get there to tell you myself, I'll send this message to say " my sweet baby boy, your Aunt Donna loves you and this world will never be the same without you here with us, we all love you so so much, Until I see you in Heaven, I love you"
Love Aunt Donna
May 1, 2008
