I know you are always watching over especially last week when me, Kelsey and Amber were on our way back from St. Louis after the snow storm.
. Thank you for the intervention and for keeping us safe.
Love, mom

I wish you were here for some of that good advice. I miss you. I hope you think of me and smile sometimes. I thought of you the other day when someone said it was cold out "burrrr".

My life just isn't the same without you. I miss you so much and want to hear your voice. I carry a picture of you in my wallet when you were 7 yrs old. You look so cute. You will always be that little boy to me. I know you did'nt like to hear that but that's just a mom talking. We do talk about you and think of some of the entertaining and goofy things you would say and do.
I hope you and my dad are hanging out together. I know he is so proud of you. I need a hug and kiss from you so send me one.

with all my love,
