Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and I thought of you so much. The sweet potatoes were not near as good as they use to be. Since you've been gone actually no food taste good anymore. I hope you were there with us yesterday. If you were, you know that you have not been forgotten. I miss you sooooo much. You need to come see me. If you don't come see me, I think I might just come see you. I am sending you a big hug, and a big kiss. SEE YA SOON MUMSEY !!!

Happy Thanksgiving Mamaw!~I never figured out why the last Thanksgiving you were alive that you didn't want to come out to the house. Kathy said that you told her that the kids sometimes made you nervous but I just find that a little hard to believe because it had never been a problem in the past and most of the kids have grown up...I wonder if you were getting us prepared in a way for your passig the next year. Its a mystery and I guess we will never know. I miss you mamaw and wanted to tell you that I think of you often and love you so much!And by the way... we weren't prepared and are still having a hard time accepting it. Oh mamaw,I just want to scream...what happened!!!! but I know I still won't get an answer.. I know that one day we will but waiting is the hard part. I love you and will never forget you..

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am missing you so much! I want so bad to see you and talk to you but I know that is not possible. I just wanted to tell

I don't know why I feel the need to write in this book when all I have to do is just talk to you. I'm sure that you can hear me and I'm sure you know what's in my heart. Last night, I was looking at the picture of you with me and Diane that says "Girl's Night Out". I really miss you Mamaw. I know that I didn't come to see you as often as I should have and I feel really terrible about that. I actually feel bad for myself because I missed out on wonderful times I could have had with you. Sometimes I wonder if Bobby Smith and Butch Stone are up there singing for you. Shoot, you probably have Evlis (Elvis) himself singing for you! I just wanted to write this little note to you to let you know that I think about you a lot and I miss you so very much. Btw, I do know that it was you that broke the table at my friend Bob's house, but that will be our little secret. I love and miss you Mamaw.

Gosh Mamaw, the months are just flying by us..it's been 6 months since you left us and we still miss you so very much. Kathy is still having a pretty hard time...so please help to comfort her and let her know that you will be watching over her while she is here. I do wish so badly that you were here with us... we love you so much..I mean't to tell you how beautiful your service was. We did a pretty good job and I know you would have been so proud. Christy found a guy that was able to sing "just one rose" and he did a great job..being that it is such an old song that hardly no one had even heard of before...We all filed by and placed 1 rose in with you before the end of the service while he sang your song..just one rose... We had alot of pictures on video playing thru out the service and everyone seemd to really like it.Preacher Brooks did the eulogy like you requested.OH and mamaw you were so pretty in a pinky peach knit shirt and white slacks...Bailey did a great job on your nails too. Everything matched up so well. Oh and the casket you picked out with the rose on it looked so beautiful. You did a good job picking that one out. Luckily it only rained a little before and a little after the service... Just thought I'd fill you in on some things... I know you wanted to have a big farewell party and so you did....
I love you mamaw

Dark days and long sleepless nights. I feel so lost without you here. We are watching and waiting for more signs. The Truth will set us free. People say time heals all, but in this case time seems to go slower bearing a weight that gets heavier with each passing day. Oh, mama can you near me calling your name, can you see all the tears. My heart is totally broken. I miss you sooo much. I am anxiously the time when we will be together again. Give daddy a hug and kiss for me. See ya'll soon. Love always, Kathy

Mamaw, Thanksgiving is tomorrow but I know it will just not seem right without you here. I miss you so much. This whole year will be bad for all of us...especially during the holidays. We love you and miss you each day and talk about you sometimes as if you're still here... maybe spiritially,a part of you is still with us,... I'll love you forever and will never forget you...and what a sweet blessing you have been to our family.

Me and my sweet Mamaw

Mamaw, it's been 1 month since you left us but it still seems like a bad dream that I can't wake up from. I think about bringing you lunch and sitting and talking with you. I think about how you loved to dress up and put on your jewelry and I can hear your voice when you called me to thank me for some small something that I did. It always sounded like you were on the verge of crying with gratitude. If you only knew how greatful I am to have had you as my Grandmother throughout my life. I know that you always worried about me and that you might not see me after you passed but I assure you that I will see you again one day, and I know that you know that now. I feel your sweetness in my life every day and I know that heaven feels it too. They are so blessed to have you. I miss you Mamaw. You will always be in my heart, soul and memory. You will always be a part of who I am. The best part. Thank you for that. I love you Mamaw.
PS. Give Glen a big hug for me and tell him I love and miss him so much.

Mamaw, It's so hard to believe that it's been almost 1 month since you left us. We miss you so much. Not sure what we're gonna do to get over the fact that we will not see you again in this life. It was only a cpl of weeks before you went to the hospital that I had gotten a memory book for you.It was titled "Things I'll Always Remember about My Mamaw" I was working on getting things together to put in it. I had just taken a picture of a bowl of squash and an ice cream cone..remember I ate it so I could get the ice cream when nobody else would eat their squash...the whirllygig...your soft sheets...watching the world news at your house(that music used to scare me so much). I was working on this to give to you at Christmas...I wish I had gotten it together for your Birthday but I didn't think of it in time... I miss you mamaw and love you so much... It's just so unreal... we'll never get over the loss of our sweet mamaw... loving you forever and ever...

Mamaw... I love you and will always remember that laugh and Joy of life that you shared. That crack in your face/voice of almost tears of joy when you were so thankful for us visiting or bringing you something. You shared something different with each one of us in your own special way. I loved seeing the joy that Ethan brought to you when we visited. We will miss you dearly and will await the time that we get to see you again. Until then you will be with me in my thoughts every day. We love you!

I will never forget your sweet humourous voice and am so glad that I saved your voice mails...I will always remember our visits during my lunch hour but regret not coming see you more often. I miss you so very much mamaw. I love you so much that the hurt will never subside. I know you are in a much better place now but I am sort of a selfish person so I want you back with us. I know that is not possible which makes my heart ache more. I love you mamaw and I will never forget our special talks...you know the ones I'm talking about. I don't know how we will make it without you. Nothing will ever be the same without you here. I long for the day we see you again... you'll be waiting for us, I know... my precious mamaw I love you..
