Mom:
15 years has passed since I last heard your voice. We said our last I love you at approximately 9 p.m. on February 14th, 2008. It is hard to accept the fact that i have lost both of my parents and my brothers in such a short time. As time goes on it doesn't get any easier. Life has a way of showing you things you may have overlooked or took for granted while in the process of daily life. I know I was blessed to have 2 parents that loved me, no one has perfect parents, but I know without a doubt I had 2 of the best. Thank for your love, i pray to see all of you again. miss you daily. love kay

Granny~ The days seem to get harder and not easier. I know that you are better off and that we will all see you again one day. It is hard to take your name out of my phone or address book, so I will just leave it. It just makes me cry when I see your name listed and to know that you are not there. I love you Granny and always will!

To my siblings:

We had a mother that was a treasure more rare than rubies. She was our mother the only one we will ever have-we never really realized how speacial she was. She touched more lives than we could ever count and helped every one she possibly could. SHE LOVED US> SHE wanted all of us to be together. Now it is up to us to make this happen, all the pain, and other emotions will never bring our mother back nor do I want to bring her back. She is where she needs to be as her best friend Betty said in a poem, mom was just a flower GOD had to have in his garden at this time to help him make his garden the most beautiful and complete.

She is no longer in pain and she is safe, happy, secure and healthy once again. SHE is complete and with our Savior. I know we all miss her but we also have the gift of knowing the presence of peace the knowing she is where she is needed the most and we will see her again someday.

The week before the accident when she called me to come over she let me know that she loved all of us. Valentine's Day when i spoke to her on the phone her last words to me were I love all of you. SHE never failed us and now we cant fail her. We are not the closest siblings because of age differences but mother wants us to be united and to stay in touch. We only have each other.

We still have mothers love and wonderful memories to cherish.

We all truly miss her and i just want you to know that I loved her as each of you did.

Love

Kay
