Hi My MM...how ironic this world is...you come to my thoughts more often than not and I always, without fail shake my head, smile and laugh. I keep your phot on my refrigerator and see you everyday. You left a mark here on earth. Until we laugh together again, I'll cherish the happy memories in my heart.

I can't believe it's almost a year mommy. The pain I feel from losing you will never go away. But knowing that you're in my heart helps me through my day. When you were here I always felt that nothing could go wrong, but you're still my inspiration and your memory keeps me strong. I love you to the moon and back Mommy and miss you more each day. It never seems to get easier, just take it day by day. Love, Bells

Thinking of you now, as I always am. They say it gets easier, but it seems each day just brings more reasons to miss you even more. But I know you are now breathing easy and gettin' into some kind of fun trouble up there, you sassy angel. Looking forward to the next visit (hopefully sooner than later). LOVE you & miss you forever and ever...

Guess what...I'm the sticky queen lol!! I have em everywhere!!! Oh and that stamp and paperclip trick, yeah doing that too lol! I really really have so many very fond memories with you and I love that! Oh!!!! My ABSOLUTE FAV is "hold your pants on"!!!! OMG MM, i say it ALL the time to my Ava!!! Haha! if nothing more, I hope sharing these silly, quirky, inside little shenanigans give just a little comfort to your family knowing your impact on my life was such a great one. A happy one....until we meet again.

Marlene, I will forever remember our first meeting in the lobby at Moses before therapy. We shared many laughs and good times. Needing oxygen never stopped us from gabbing and laughing! My love and prayers to Corkey and your family. It is an honor to have known you. I am so thankful our paths crossed in life.
