Mummy I can't believe it's been 11 yrs. It still seems like yesterday. The pain of missing you is starting to get easier to handle but also knowing you watch over us makes it bearable. You're grandchildren are grown, so they like think. I bet they'd go for one more Sonic Tuesday. We all feel the loss but our memories of moments together help to ease the emptiness. Our memories help us to face another day without you. Love you, later, your daughter DeNay.

Time passes but it seems like yesterday when you left this world and I wish you were here. Where did the time go? Are we still making you proud? Can you believe how the "Lil People" have grown? CeA a "Senior & DJ a freshman". You should be proud at how much of young lady she's becoming and DJ well one day he maybe on TV playing pro football or attending a grand opening of a building with his name on it. We miss you, from the Sonic Tuesday's, crafting Michael's and the pan of lasagna that is only made in the winter. Love you mummy.

Your granddaughter is getting Older and recalls fond memories of you but her favorite one of all is drag racing with your grandson and she and DJ being in the truck with you.
Happy Birthday Grammie,

Happy Birthday, today you would've been 69 years young. I still miss you just as much as the first year of your passing. I know that not only do you Live on in me but I see you in the LP's: Little People as you affectionately called them. You are gone but never will you be forgotten. Love DeNay

There are still days when I seek your advice, wnat to share something going on in my life and laugh with you about the words that your "Lil people" are now saying, sounding more and more like me everyday and I can't. You told me once "may you grow up and have one just like you", I have two. Well I hope that I have done the same for you and continue to make you PROUD. Love and Miss you much, early Happy Mother's Day Mommie.

I just can't believe that a year has passed and the pain of losing one of my best friends hasn't lessen. There's still so much I want to share with you...DJ growing into manhood, CeAnna's first date and yet I know that you're with me and us always it's still not the same. I miss you and know that one day I will be seeing you all soon. Keep those folks in Heaven in line, we both know how Auntie Eve can be...especially with Daddy joining you. Love you B.

November 7, 2013

I love and miss you, but you and Ma will remain forever in my heart. I am sure the both of you are somewhere visiting both places perhaps? Causing mayhem and then leaving to have fun someplace else.

How time has passed but you're never forgotten, always in my thoughts and wishing you were here to see how wonderful all your grandkids are. I miss you just as much when I had to let you go but I am finding comfort when I hear DJ and CeACeA recount the wonderful times that they spent with you. You will never be forgotten!!

Mummie, seems like only yesterday when I held your hand and said it was Ok for you to join all those who went home before you. As the hours past, the time draws near to mark a year since you've been gone. I find the loss as great as the day you left us. I LOVE and MISS you always. Muffy
