Well my Ladybug tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of your passing. It has been by far the toughest year for all of us. But with the memories we all have of you it makes some days easier than others. You have proven to many of the people you were so close with that you really haven't left us yet. Each Ladybug event this past year has been remarkable and unforgetable, just like you. Thanks for being the greatest Mom and friend a girl could ever ask for. I miss my Ladybug and love you always. Your daughter, Denise

I want to thank each of you for the lovely condolences you have written to my family. My "ladybug" aka momma was a wonderful mother and best friend. I will miss her dearly as I know so many people will, my mother had a way about her and everyone just loved her. Ladybug watch down upon me and guide me the right way. I will do everything I possibly can to take care of daddy for you. We miss you. Thank you for being the BEST a mother could ever be. Until we see each other again, I love you, Denise

Dearest Bill and Family,
Sydney told me the sad sad news about Sally today when we got back from vacation. Bill and I are so sorry for your loss.....we LOVED Sally! She always had a smile and a big hug for us and never missed sending us a beautiful Christmas card. Although we hardly ever see you, we still love you and want you to know we understand the pain you are going through. But the good news is, she never left! She's right there with you all the time and will be forever in all of our hearts. Take care, dearest Duprees and know we are sending you all our love,
