Mom,
Wow. It´s been a long time since I´ve written to you. As dad mentioned, Coco and I are on a cruise! All thanks to her. We were here on your birthday and we looked out onto the ocean and played your favorite song in honor of you. We laughed and cried and thought about special memories of you. In all of my memories, I focused on the beautiful smile and voice you had.
You have another grandson, Nathan Henry Pruitt. Yes, life has taken many unexpected turns. I´m thankful for my love, Jonathan. I really think you´d have loved him and how amazing he treats me. He´s better to me than I am to him, and I´m just very thankful.
I often look at the boys and long for the memory of seeing you hold them or play with them. Each one of them is truly and unique. I try my best to keep your memory alive and tell them about you so that the day we are reunited- they know you.
I´m working on my doctorate. I can´t believe it. I can´t believe I want this goal. I hope to achieve it!
I love you always, my beautiful mother. You know everything else on my heart.
Love,
Your daughter

Hi baby and Happy Birthday! I can believe you would be 65 today! Still looking beautiful though as usual. Lauren and Coco are on a cruise and I am sure thinking of you. I´m sorry I am a day late baby..... time seems to be slipping away more and more. I wish I could sit down and talk to you! I love you so much and think of you daily! Love you baby!

Dear sister ... it's been 16 years since you went home to be with Jesus. While I am so comforted in knowing I will see you again one day ... I still miss you so very much. I read your last email to me (that you sent this very day 16 years ago) this time every year. I hope you're having the time of your everlasting life in heaven with Jesus and our loved ones. Please tell Mom and Nick hi for me. I look forward to seeing you all again one day! Love you dearly, Coco

Hi Baby, well another year has gone by! It is so surreal how life just seems to be going by...so fast too! The good news to that is sooner than later we can be together again. Please tell Barb I said hi.... and all here are doing wonderful. We are truly blessed that we have wonderful kids....I wish you were here to see this.

Thinking of you today sissy ... just as I do most every single day. It´s been 14 years today since we last communicated. I got your email that early Sunday morning. I so wish I had been awake right when you sent it so you could have gotten my reply. Just so you know ... I am so grateful for you too! And so thankful for each and every day I had with you here on God´s green earth. I look so forward to the day that I will see you again. Mom and Nick too! Love you sis ... I´m so blessed to have the best sister ever!
Well besides Lauren - I´m sure Gary would agree to disagree just a little!!! :)

Mom,
I miss you every single day. Your beautiful smile imprints on my mind and it´s all I see when I think of you. As I age, I see more of you in me. And it´s comforting.
You have the two most precious and loving grandsons. Austin asks about you often, wishing he could´ve met you. It brings tears to my eyes. I know you´re watching from up above and there will be a day I can see you hug my babies.
Until then, just know that I think you are the most beautiful woman. There is so much I wish I could say but I´ll do it through my prayers.
Happy Angel Day in heaven. I love you always.

Hi Sugar babe, my goodness 13 years has passed..... I will be out there to visit you today ....How can I tell you how much I miss you. The kids are doing well...I am so lucky Lauren has moved back with the boys ...they are just so wonderful. Each year...each month...each day I still think of you. Lauren and I always are asking what would you have said. Lauren and Sil are going to see Gary next month, he is doing well too. As the years go on its just a little closer to when I will see you once again, but until the day I am on my way to heaven, just know I love you the same as I did the first day we met. All my love Baby!

It's been 12 years today since you left us, and I still miss you so much! It hasn't gotten any easier as times goes on. Some days are better than others, and some are not. But knowing you can feel my love for you (all of us who love you) way up there in heaven is comforting. And I'm so thankful and grateful to GOD that you cannot feel our pain. Because it still hurts so much without you. Our lives down here have forever changed. We're trying to go on without you because we have to but it sucks!!!
I'll never forget you my dear sweet beautiful loving sister, and I have loved you, and will always love you with all of my heart!!!

Good Morning Baby and Happy Birthday.... wow you would be 60 today.... I remember you crying to me when you turned 21...lol. Tears are with me because I have such vivid memories. Everyone is doing well. Our grandkids are beautiful and growing. Coco is busy and doing well. Lauren and Gary are fulfilling life the best they can with you not being with us. I miss you so much...... I'm in Florida until tonight but I will come see you tomorrow. I love you and Happy 60 Birthday... and tell your mother I said hi and love her too.

Dear Sis,
Thinking of you today and missing you like crazy. We all do. It's been 6 years...6 long years without. :( It's snowing in Atlanta today and just cold, so cold here in Texas. Austin is 2 now and cute as ever. Lauren is married and doing well. One more year of Grad school - you would be so proud. :) Gary is doing so good and very happy. We think of you always sissy and we love you more than ever!!

Dear Sissy...Happy 51st Birthday today! Missing you still...more than ever! This was always one of my favorite times of the year...when your birthday arrived the 22nd of every November...I was only 1 year older than you.

Dear Sissy,
Thinking of you always but especially on your birthday! Yesterday you would have turned 50, what a milestone that would have been. We placed some beautiful flowers for you...some greenary with red berries and 5 white flowers, I can't recall at the moment what the are called but they are beautiful. The pink rose is from Lauren and the red rose is from Gary. We all miss you so very much. Love, Coco

Dear Sissy,
Your birthday was yesterday and you weren't here! I still can't beleive it. It's been almost 10 months now and I think of you every single day. I so wish you were still with us.
I went to visit you on Thursday and put out some pictures that Lauren had picked out. They were some of when you went to Hawaii and some of you doing Yoga. God you were beautiful!
You would be so proud of Lauren and Gary. They are doing as well as can be expected but they miss you so much!!! Please watch over them from above and help comfort them.
Loving and missing you for always...

Hi my sweet Angel,
Well I sorry it took me so long to write. Everytime I opened the guestbook I just stopped. I can't believe you are with Jesus now, he is so lucky! I want you to be here with Lauren, Gary and me, but you have more important things to do, like making sure I don't screw up!!! lol.
I know all of us miss you terribly, but there are no words to tell you what I am thinking or feeling right now, but my love for you will never die!
Please watch after Barb, SIL, Gary and Lauren becasue they need you to. And I will see you soon Baby!
All my Love,
David

Mom-
I see Gary beat me. I never stop missing you. I hope you can hear me when I pray and talk to you. Just because you left me doesn't mean I won't stop talking to you about everything. I love you so much and thank you for all you did for me. Dad found the crystal you told me I could have when you died. I will keep it safe. I love you so much and YOU are so beautiful!! Please watch over me and be there with arms wide open when I die. I love you mom..<3 Lauren

Barbara, so sorry for the loss of Jamie. I hadn't known where she had gone. I took her on a date when we were both teenagers at the Watauga church, way back around 1974, and always remembered her as very, very sweet! I was saddened to hear of her death....Steve Jennings
