It seems fitting that we will lay you to rest beside dad on your anniversary. Our hearts have been so empty since you have gone. I have been searching for your precious Tony so that I can bring him to my house and give him a loving home. I know he missed you and wants to stay there, but I know you would want him to have a good home, so I will find him. Please help me--tell him I only want to make him happy. I love you. Sandy

Mildred,
You always stayed young at heart and brought pleasure to all around you. You and I enjoyed teasing Roy about the flowers we saw along the road. He thought we just enjoyed saying "oleander". You loved your family and they loved you. Your passing has left us sad but we look forward to seeing you, Sam and the other family members in the place God has prepared.

Aunt Mildred though we lost many years I will always thank the Lord for leading me to you and Uncle Roy again. My only regret is not calling more often and not having the chance to see you in person but God knows all the reasons. Mom and I loved you. I know you are in a much better place and one day we will all see you again. Tell daddy hi for me and that one day soon we will once again meet face to face and worship our savior together.

She was a sweet person, we will miss her calls. To the family, we know what you are going through and wish we could comfort you in person, maybe someday. We love you, Tootie

Dear Aunt Mildred, I have always thought of you with love in my heart and will always have the fondest of memmories of you from my childhood. I will always regret not keeping in touch over the years. I have missed out on so much because of it. You and Uncle Sam were always so good to me and always made me feel like I was someone special!! I just bet you, Daddy, and Uncle Troy are all together right now acting really silly!!
Grandpa is probably telling you to behave yourselves and Grandma is sitting there watching you with love in her eyes. I love you, Connie

Hi Big Sister! I know that from where you are you will know not only what I am saying, but what I am thinking and trying to say also. I am going to miss you more than words can tell. It was always so good just to hear your voice when we talked by phone! It won't be long though until we are together again. I will always treasure the memories of you and your family and the good times you always had and brought to those around you. A very special time for me was the trip we took down through Arkansas when you were back here last. Just the two of us and the opportunity to enjoy each others company. We have said our goodbyes here on Earth at an earlier time but I want to say once again just how very special you have always been to me. I love you very much! Until we meet again... tell the family I said hello.
Love,
Little Brother

Happy Valentine's Day mom. I mailed you a valentine's card on the day you died. I would like to think you will still read it and know I love you, always have, and always will. I will certainly miss our weekly phone calls. There's a special bond between mother's and their children that no one can replace.
I hope you rest in peace and there are alot of birds singing where you are.
Love always,,

Mom we miss you more than words can say; there is an inconsolable sadness for our loss. We know your health was declining so we take some comfort in the fact that we enjoyed the weekend with you before you went peacefully in your own home and that God has taken you to be with Dad, your brothers and sisters and Grandma and Grandpa where we will all be together again. You loved us unconditionally and will stay in our hearts and prayers forever, just as Dad has. Your Loving Family
