Dear Missy,
You could be happy with the simplest of things:
A little note from Dee or Kris
A kiss on top of the head
Anything made of animal print
Warm jammies
Colorful socks
New slippers
A nap
Most any animal: dogs,cats,goats,rabbits,donkeys, but no snakes
Sappy movies
Shopping
The beach
Looking outside your back door
Anyone saying I Love You
All of us could add to the list. We just wanted to say thank you for loving Michael so much and for raising these two extraordinary girls.
Because you did, it will be okay.
Love, hugs and kisses to you from us

Mike, D and Kristin,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom was more than a neighbor to me, she was my friend. We will truly miss seeing her in your yard. I am glad she cared for and got joy from our animals and had a laugh over watching me being afraid of Papa bird. Let us know if we can help in any way.
With Love and Prayers,
The Jubys

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
