Cuz, "Memories Keep Our Loved Ones Close"!! This is so true because I often think back to our childhood and the many fun times we had. As we get older that long term memories come back so fast. Continuing to remember the good times.!!

Hi Mama! I miss you sooooo much! I still don't understand why you were taken from us so soon. I know God has a plan for all of us, and I will see you again. You come to me in my dreams most every night, so I know you are still with me. I do wake up disappointed, as I know it's just a dream and you are not here-but I treasure every minute of my memories of you. I hope I am making you proud. I know Nia is. We love and miss you dearly!

I don't always write here-as my relationship with you-is deeper than any words can describe. I miss you and love you. You have been in my dreams alot lately-although you make appearance often :-). It makes me miss you more, but appreciate you more-and I know that means that you are with me and want me to know that you are always watching over me. I on many occasions have dreams that you are alive and healthy and I wake up sad, because I know that is not true-but those dreams always seem so real-and are a reflection of what I want and need. But I keep on keeping on-Nia's 16th birthday is Monday-I wish you were here in the physical to join in on her celebration-but I know her MeMe-will somehow "be in the house" :-) Love you always-Your BabyGirl

Hi Mama!!
It is interesting..I continue to have these dreams about you. I know you are always on my mind...but I am having a hard time figuring out why I keep seeing you in my dreams-and get the awful reminder when I awake-that you are not here-and that I won't see you again until we meet in Heaven. I even had a dream last night-where I rolled your hair-because you wanted me to give you that "style" you used to like-but the bottom line in my dream as it was in real life-you just knew I liked to play in your hair :-) and me "styling" it was your way to let me have my way :-)!! Nia misses you too!! For some reason-she really feels like she has to stand in for you at times :-). Its cute..but I have to remind her that I am the Momma :-)!!!
Love,
Anitra

Hi Momma!
It has been hard for me to write in your Guest Book..as I am always reminded of the day you left and how I felt you drift out of hands! I know you had a celebration yesterday...March 1st :-) We all miss you! Love you always, Anitra
P.S. Would you believe Miss Nia is almost as tall as me? I know you know that already :-)...but it is so funny looking at her-she has grown so much!!

Hi My Dear Cuz,
Happy Belated Birthday!! I have never been this late wishing you happy birthday, but Katrina (hurricane) has me so stressed out and falling behind taking care of business. God, His Angels and our family (with you) must have given you a wonderful birthday celebration. Give my "Boo" a hug for me. I have been talking with Boobie lately. You must be smiling and very proud of him, Anitra and Nia for all of their accomplishments. Cuz, you did a good job. Oh, by the way, he received his birthday card on time.
Cuz, I love you and miss you. I promise to check in more often.
