Another year has gone by and you're always in my thoughts.Your oldest great grandchild (the only one you got to meet) graduated this year and he plans to be a fireman. The other two great granddaughters are both in high school and doing well. I wish you could have been here to see them grow up cause I know you would have loved spoiling them. Miss you so much. Love always

Dear Mom
You've only passed a few days ago and I miss you so much already. It's going to be very empty not being able to visit you each day anymore but I want you to know that I'll be thinking of you just as I have thought of Daddy all these years and I'm glad you're together again cause I know you've missed him as much as you'll be missed.I just wish I could see his face when you appear cause you looked ever so beautiful.
Love always
Alyce

I will never forget all the cookies and cakes that you baked you always put some in our mail box for our family. When I would come over to your house it always smelled so good like a bakery. Thanks for all the good years that we had together. We will miss you very much. Now you will be with Don.
