Momma, it's been 15 years now without you on this earth and I miss you today as much as I missed you the day you had to pass on. Every time I see a Cardinal (and Momma, we have a lot of them out here at our place in Livingston) I think of you and Grandma....I was sitting here reading the messages everyone sent to you on here and just starting crying. I just miss you so much. I am doing okay and of course Julie and Jerry and Mark are too except Mark has been fighting cancer....he is in remission right now but we don't know how long that will last. I just pray for him. I love you so much and when it's my time to go, I know you will be there waiting to welcome me into Heaven....Roxie

Joann I cannot believe a decade has gone by since we shared our last physical hug - but not a week goes by I don't feel you around me, especially in my darker days, telling me to go on it's not my time to join you. I will continue to talk to you, as will the others - especially the 4 yr old - probably forevermore. We love and miss you. You will always be in the heart and soul that is w/me.

Well JoAnn, it has been a year since you have left this Earth, Not a day goes by that you are not thought of. Tina and I always talk about you and how blessed we were to have you here for us. I know you are watching over all of us and I feel your presence here lots of times. Thank you for looking out for all of us here. Love You Always, Melissa Steck

I love you momma, just wanted to say that...I miss you all the time and wonder just how we/I am going to make it through the rest of the time I have left, without you and your guidance. I know I wasn't always there for you but you were always there for me when I needed you. I am so very sorry for that momma, I really am. Wish you were right here so I could hug your neck and kiss your cheek and tell you how much you are missed and loved. I pray all the time that you have taught me what I need to go on without you but I don't think I learned enough from you. Not that you didn't teach me but that I didn't learn. Wish you were here...love you so very much!! Thank you for just being you and loving me.

Well momma, Scarlett paid for us to keep your book here for a year so we all can talk to you and sign your book and just tell ya how much we miss you and love you so much!!!
It is so weird not having you here to talk to and I even called your old cell number just to see if you had a message on there so I could hear your voice again...LOL I know that is kinda weird isn't it. I will talk to you more but not on here....I just wanted to stop by and say hi and tell you I love you and miss you momma. Give grandma a big hug for me and tell her I think about her all the time too. Love you momma!!!

Hey mom,
Well I went and picked you up on Friday and brought you home with me. It was so nice to watch Survivor together again last night like we have done in the past. I know that was one of your favorite shows too. We are going to carry out your wishes so you will soon be where you wanted. Sorry it has taken so long but all that red tape we had to go through kinda set us back a bit. No biggy, we have you now. LOL
Mom, I really do miss you and I pray you are happy wherever you are. I hope you are catching up with all your relatives and telling them all about us. Please take care and I hope to see you soon.
All my love momma,
Roxie

Momma,
You gave me a wake up call in my sleep the other night. I was a sleep and my cell phone rang and when I answered it all I heard was Roxie, I said momma, momma.....MOMMA!!!! but got no answer and woke myself up yelling your name. I miss you so much momma. I feel your presence with me all the time. All us kids are doing our best to handle this life without you here next to us but it is really hard....I love you and miss you so much and there isn't a day that passes that I don't think about you.
I love you so much!!!

I'm missing you grandma. I feel you in the wind, hear your song in the birds' melodies, and even saw you in the crazy Houston snow. Thank you for your words...they mean so much. Thank you for protecting Crystal this week....you continue to be this family's guardian. I love you.

She was the only sister I ever had here in the United States. I always looked up to her because she was older and wiser. She would let me tag along. Christmas get-togethers were always fun when we were young. She always wanted me to be the model for the shows she was involved in to cut my hair. I went along willingly because I knew it would help her and I trusted her. I will miss you my beloved sister.

JoAnn, I miss you so much, you always taught me every time we saw each other. You were always solid, truthful, and loving. You still had much to teach and I hope I will continue to learn your lessons. You are free now, go with God.

Joanne loved life and all in she came in contact with. Her jokes were wild and her laughter made everyone join her party. I know that she is free and flying as the eagles, as breath upon the wind, and as a twinkle in the stars. Love and Light to her family and friends.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Joanne,
I miss you bunches, I wish I spent more time with you while you were here with us, I enjoyed your readings...Even though you made me cry everytime..but they were from your heart to mine, and I will always cherish those memories. I will start working on the issues you were concerned with, and yes, I will work on my relationship with my mother as you seem to have ALWAYS brought out in my readings...I hold you close to my heart, and I will be hoping to met up with you again one day. Love you Momma Jo

Joanne was warm, wise and smiling each time I met her. Her eyes danced and her soul sang. She will be missed greatly.

JoAnn will be missed - I'll never forget the first day I met her at a psychic fair in West U (one of the few Marva had there). I walked into the room not having any idea what to expect - and as soon as I did, I could see the eagle eyes of JoAnn all the way across the room target my entry and scared the crap out of me ... It took me a long time to work my way over to that corner to meet the woman behind the gypsy and the indian I had both seen at that point. You have taught me much - and still had much to teach me. You will be missed.

Grand, I love you so much! Thanks for being such a big part of my life and teaching me more than I have yet to realize. I will continue to heal and spread the light as best as I know. I'm glad you are once again one with the light! Muah! ~Sunshine

Mom,
Where do I begin?? You showed me the kind of person you were way back, when you took me & Jerry as your own to raise. You didn't have to do such a selfless thing as that but yet you did it out of love for us. I can never thank you enough for doing that because that changed my life so much. I couldn't even imagine what my life would have turned out like if you hadn't done that those many many years ago.
Through the years you have molded me and taught me so much I can't even begin to start writing all of them down but I know I am the person I am today because of you. Momma, I miss you so much and wish you didn't have to leave our lives this soon. I know before you went I told you we would be ok and that it was alright to go see grandma but, we are having a hard time with this. Eventually, the pain may ease some but without our leader, our teacher, our mother, I just feel lost and you were the one that always knew exactly what to say to me to get me back on track. I know that sounds very selfish of me and I am sorry for that. You were in so much pain, I couldn't stand to see you suffering anymore and I knew I had to tell you it was ok to go. Julie & I sat by your side the whole time trying to make it easier for you to go and in my heart, I feel it helped you pass over to your next experience of your journey.
You will always be with me in my heart and in my mind momma and in one of our last conversations we had, you made me realize that you have taught me what I needed to keep going on my life's path. The lesson for me was, did I LEARN everything you taught me? I don't know momma, I hope so but I know one thing, I miss you terribly!!
Momma, we are all sticking together trying to make it through this with love for each other. You gave that to us, all of us.
Give grandma a kiss for me and a big hug (that is one thing I will always miss is your hugs, they were the best I ever had).
I Love you momma,now go with the angels and soar.
All my love!!
Roxie

JoAnn, I still have so much to learn from you. It will easier for you to teach me now but I'll have to listen with my heart and not with my ears. And, yes, I do hear the music now. Hugs {{{{{{{JoAnn}}}}}}} for you. Judy (Houston, Tx)

Joann is and will always be the greatest spiritual mentor Tina and I could ever have. We know she is now our Angel. She was an extremely giving and positive person who will continue to touch everyone. Our memory of Joann will never wither because her presence will be felt in the Animals, in the Birds, at Traders Village, at the Casino and any were else she loved to go. The greatest gift Joann brought to Tina and I was the knowledge she shared of the Animal totems and their spirits. We learned so much from her and hope to continue in spirit as time goes by. Enjoy your journey Joann!! until we meet again. All my Love, Melissa
