I´m so sorry I totally forgot about July 31st :-( I have so many questions about health and medications. I wish you were here to advise me. :-( But I´ll figure it out just like you did 50 years ago. I love going to your house. I also know it´s you that makes me fall asleep lol. We will see each other again.. please keep praying for us down here. Tell Jesus I said hello and I love him too :-*
Love you always,

Happy 101 Birthday mother, oh how I wish all six of us could celebrate this glorious birthday with you. Last year was a special birthday because you would have celebrated your 100th birthday and those unusual significant numbers were identical to your special day except for two numbers .4/24/ 1924 - 4/24/2024. Welll, II must thank God he allowed me another year so that I could wish you another year of remembrance and expressions of my special and everlasting love for eternity.

Hello mother after ten years of not seeing and touching you physically has a great impact on me. I have to come to grips that it´s been one decade since your departure. It´s not a day that goes by that I don´t think about you. I know and sense actually you are here with me with every step I make. Thank God he allows you to check in on us faithfully. I ask may your rest continue to be peaceful knowing that my love for you still remains the same for eternity. I love you mother.

Hello Nanny. It doesn´t feel like 10 years has passed. I have been thinking of you a lot lately. I do hope you still come see about me from time to time. So many things have transpired since your passing, but you are in the "all knowing" so you already know. I do miss you so dearly. Tell Ada, Ken, Aunt Vesta and Big Momma I said hello.
Love you always,

Happy Birthday Nanny.
These past few days have been hard for me. You know you would´ve been 100 and this year I´ll be 50. A lot of changes for me now and I know you´d lead and guide me the correct answers health wise. I´m crying like I did when you passed. My life has been very lonely, but until we meet again, I´ll just try to live my Christ like life until we meet again. Thank you for watching over us. I know it´s you I sense. I miss you Nanny and I will always love you!!
Love

Hello Mother on your 100th birthday! Do you remember ten years ago as you stepped into your 90th birthday and you made this statement with a smile, I´ve got ten more years before I make 100 years old." Yes, mother those ten years have arrived and we celebrate your birthday without you physically, but mentally and spiritually you are right here among us celebrating. You are there with the other half, Ada, Vesta and Jerry. Ralph, Charles and myself Carolyn are celebrating and keeping your legacy ongoing. Happy 100th Birthday Mother! We miss and love you for eternity

I´ve been on a journey of listening to podcasts about NDEs. Ik it´s so important to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I´m making it my mission to be in that realm with you all. Please check on Ada. I know she´s ready to be with you all there. Please check on me from time to time. This is life is so difficult, Nanny. I also know time means nothing where u are. But since I´m here, today is your birthday and I wishing you that. Tell everyone I said hello and give Jesus a hug and kiss for me.

Hello Mother, it's been seven years ago since we last celebrated together our day of being a mother and grandmother. You really don't appreciate a great day like this until one has been separated this long frame time period. You are missed. Your presence kept the family together.

Hello Mother after many failed attempts to wish you a happy belated 98th birthday wish. I miss you oh so much. You now have new company of your first born grandson, Kenneth who was very successful and was doing his best to take care of your first born daughter, Ada. She took his death pretty hard but I assured her he' s in the best of hands with you and Jesus Christ. Mother, I love you for eternity!

Hello Mother, I did not forget you on the the 30th nor Diane´s mother too who joined you on that very special day of July 30th one year ago. It´s hard to believe that it has been seven years since last I touched you and actually seen you. I know you are here in spirit ensuring and encouraging me that everything is going to be alright. Your legacy you left continues to still remain with no attached liens or debts. I always keep your motto in mind about having debts where you reside at. I preach and teach it as you taught me. Thank you mother for 90 years you lived here on God´s great planet Earth. My love continues to grow each and everyday for you as I know one day we will be together for eternity with our almighty Father "Jesus Christ!"

Well, mom another year has been added on to 4-24-24. Do you remember how I would test your mathematical skills each year as we celebrated 4-24 to see how many years you were away from your hundredth birthday and you would get it right every time? You were exactly ten years away in 2014 from 100 years. Oh, how I wish you were here now and we could laugh and joke about our life stories again! You are truly missed. Ms. Mary didn't forget your red roses from her flower garden on 4-24. They are so lovely. I do wish you'd zip in and take a look at them. I guess I'll close by saying Happy 95th Birthday! Love you for eternity mother!

Hello Nanny. Its been awhile since Ive put an entry in here. I have my good days and my bad days. You always had an answer to everything I asked. Now Im having to answer these questions myself. Today Ive been feeling rather sad and thinking about you and I dont know why. Crying isnt going to bring u back but it surely relieves the anxiety. Nanny why do ppl wish evil on others? Why dont ppl want to see others happy? Its always something going on with me. Nanny will I ever be happy? Ive been patient, waiting on the Lord. I just want to be happy. I know you and Aunt Vesta are happy. Please check in on us here especially Aunt Ada. I miss you sooo much. Ill never see you walking down the street EVER again. Just want to be happy in all aspects of life!! Hope you like the flowers I planted around your magnolia trees.
I love you Nanny

Hello mother and Vesta, well our family tree is growing shorter here on earth. There's three down and four more to go. We are holding strong us four and getting it together to hold your legacy down peacefully. The beautiful baby girl you spoke of so fondly and the beauty she possessed is now with you again, but for eternity. Her departure was a shock to us all, but we know you were holding her hand to our father's throne which made it easier for her new transition of eternal love, peace and happiness. Thank you God and mother for the 70 years you allowed Vesta to be apart of this legacy you left behind three years ago. We love you, Vesta and Jerry forever.

Well Nanny, today we laid Aunt Vesta to rest. I guess thats why my kids had seen you days before because you were coming to receive her. I bet you and her are having the times of your eternal lives there. No pain,no suffering. Just complete bliss and joy!!! She made it Nanny!!! Please tell her i said hello and i will keep the advice she gave me and cherish it about relationships. Im a little down Nanny. I know we cant live forever. I cant wait to see you both again. Until we meet, would you both please keep on us smiling down here??

Mother, this date marks three years you took flight to your paradise mansion in the sky. Whenever, I take pictures here at this house you once called your earthly home I see you on the picture or video cheering me on with confidence and support for attempting to keep your legacy ongoing through renovations or updates. You are right there in the picture giving me a sign of approval by images of active moving signals or even in a still photograph a brilliant odd shape glow. It brings me joy mother because I know you are still watching over me until we embrace each other again for eternity. My goal for right now is focused on making it to where you are at. My love for you is for eternity. I miss you mother.

So pls if u would, say a prayer for me and put a special request in for me up there. Ive been in the storm too long. Please keep smiling on me, i need it!! Miss you dearly!!

Im at work taking a break. I was thinking of you as i do all the time. As you know my kids are in Alabama for the summer. Please go check on them for me from time to time. You know, no one is going to take care of your children like "mom". This Texas heat is a killer!!! Especially if u have to work in it. Well, i guess i will get back to work. Can you go check in Aunt Ada as well. Im going to go and see about her real soon. I dont think i will ever get over you leaving. I wish i could talk to you just one more time. Until we meet again, please keep smiling and letting your presence be known to me. Its very comforting!!

You were an extraordinary mother and a true example of a woman of God. Your legacy of characteristics will and shall be carried on through me and generations to come. My love for you is for eternity!

Hello Nanny,
I am sitting here in the chair thinking about life. I miss our talks because what you would tell me was the truth on life with a hint of being comical. Aunt Ada is doing better but please go visit her and talk to Jesus about giving her a peace of mind. Man Nanny, my life hasnt been the same since you left. Hope you like the flowers i planted. Please keep smiling on me and watch the kids out in Rosharon.

Hello Nanny, well today makes 2 years you have been gone. I remember this day 2 years ago. I knew you were leaving, i felt it and i couldnt stop crying. I did tell the Lord to take care of you up there and i had to understand i had you here with me for 40 years and it was your mom, dad and siblings time with you. Its NOT a day that doesnt go by that i dont say i miss you!!! My life will NEVER be the same Nanny!!! So on this day, I'm thinking of you, knowing you are having the time of your life and that hopefully I'll see you again. Please watch over my babies while enroute from Alabama to Texas. Please watch over us on the flower street and would you help me in this horrible dilema I'm presently in. I love you Nanny and thank you for talking to Jesus. Please come visit me from time to time and keep smiling on me too!!!!
Love you,
Sheana

Hello Nanny!! Things went fairly well for me today. It was reset to September 27th. I just have to make sure all of my ducks are in a row. One stipulation is I must leave your house and get my own place. Its nothing wrong with ss. I mean I grew up there and I believe I came out ok. My kids are in Alabama. Would you please keep an eye out on them for me? I want you to know I really appreciate you helping from above. When I see you, I'm going to give you the biggest hug. I do hope and pray I make it there to see you. Its really hot here in Texas and even hotter when you work in it! Nanny, pls tell everyone I said hello and thank you for uplifting me in prayer there. I love you and all my kin up there. Until next time Nanny, don't stop smiling on me. I love you.

Hello Nanny. Well, tomorrow is a big day for me. I go to court tomorrow for the child custody case. If i could talk to you, I know you would tell me in a way that woukd make me feel better. Can you do me a favor? Would you gather all the relatives together and go talk to Jesus for me. Tell him, I need his help. I would like favor with the judge. Please tell him to help me in every way. Can you be there also? I'll save you seat. Its really hard Nanny. I'm so tired of going through adversity. I don't bother no one, I try to help. All I do is deliver my mail, pick my children up and try be a good mother. I do feel a little better since I'm writing. And even though I deliver mail to ppl, I wish there was a mail carrier that delivered mail to heaven. :-) You did what you told me you were going to do. Thank you Nanny. Please press through the saints and help me!!! I miss you ole lady.....I really and truly do!!! Tell everyone in advance I said thank you for praying for me and interceding up there. Until we meet again, please keep your presence known and shine on me. Tell grandmother Jessie, I noticed the butterflies around me today. Love you Nanny!!!

Hello Nanny. Its been a while since I stopped in and talked to you on the internet. My boys are constantly calling you on your black rotary phone. I don't see how you can talk to them and worship the Lord at the same time...lol I'm still experiencing my struggles and I do hope you are still helping me from the heavens work that out. I really miss you Nanny. I do wish we could talk one more time. I just found out a good friend of mine passed away last year, almost a year to your passing date. He helped me through tough times in the early 2000s. He had a great listening ear. He was only 6 years older than I. Please show him around and tell I said thank you for all the conversations. He was like a big brother to me. Please go talk to Jesus for me in my child custody case for next month please. Well I guess I'll go but I want to tell you thank you for leaving an everlasting imprint on my life. My life hasnt been the same since you left. Please, please keep smiling on me!! I love you!!!!

I am so sorry my Happy Birthday greeting wasn't accepted on your birthday. Let me recap what I said. Positive situations concerning Spring Creek are coming to pass.You have played an intricate part into making this become reality. The conversations before you left us that we promised each other what one would do if they made it to heaven. Well, your promise has brought positive feedback. Thank you mother for never leaving us and making extraordinary sacrifices as a single parent to provide for the six of us. Your nurturing love was exceptional and will never be forgotten. Life has been difficult without you these almost two years, but I know you have been speaking with our Almighty Father about your remaining five children financial situations. My love and thoughts of you are everlasting and can never be taken away from me of you forever! Love you mother.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNY!!!!! It's not a day that doesn't go by that you are on my mind. It still feels like you are still here with us. I see you working your magic on the plants. It's hard sometimes because I miss our talks. I still talk to you but I just don't hear you talking back that's the difference. I do thank you for continuing to be in my everyday life. Today you would have been 92. One day we will see each other again and I can't wait!!!! Please continue to intercede with things down here for us and always show you are still in the mix. It puts a smile on my face. I miss you Nanny. Please keep smiling on us here. I love you and HAPPY Birthday!!!!!

Hello Nanny,
I know you are doing ok. The boys and I were just talking about you and wanted you to know you are missed. Wish you could have been here to show me how to iron that dress of Madison's. I just want you to know I appreciate the impact you had on my life and it saddens me to know I can't talk to you anymore in the flesh, but we do make use of your old rotary phone calling you. Well Nanny, this year is filled with litigation on my end, please continue to help me in praying everything works out in my favor. Please keep smiling on us down here. Miss you so much.

Hello Nanny. I was thinking of you today. I just want you to know my life hasn't been the same since you left me. You know I'm not good with death and parting. I wish I could see you one more time. Things have been going fairly well for me in life. The gangbusters are ok and they include you in their daily regimen. Have you been getting those messages Hudson has been leaving with the angel? He says He thinks you haven't been getting them. Ha ha!! I bet it's oh happy day for you up there. Tell everyone including Jesus I said hello. Please keep looking over us and continue to help me in my situations. I love you nanny...I always will!!!! Keep smiling in me please.
November 26, 2015
HAPPY THANKSGIVING NANNY!!! What I wouldn't do for some of your carrot cake. I got me a route...a route I really didn't have the seniority to get. But I know you went and talked to Jesus like I asked you to. Hudson called you from your rotary phone and left a message. I hope you got it. Please keep an eye on my kids in rosharon for the holidays. Tell everyone up there I said "hello" and I'm doing my best down here to make heaven my final eternal place. I miss you Nanny!!! Know that they don't make them like you anymore. Thanks for the tough love you showed me. I love you Nanny!!! Until next time, please keep smiling on us @ the "flower" street. Sheana

Guess what! I ran across a young man that has the last name as ours Cooper. His people are from Madisonville and he knows of the Washington's in Leon County. His dad's name is Chester Cooper. Well, you not here to tell me if we are related. Maybe, some of Johnny O'Neal's boys know of him. Have you been pretty busy cleaning up in the mansion , drinking your coffee, talking and laughing with family and friends. Most of all I know you are watching down on us all and getting perks for us with the Lord. We really miss you and the original jokes. Love you mother always and forever.

Hello Nanny. It was good talking to you today. I know you are looking down on me. Arrington supposedly has asthma, but I know he doesn't. If you were here, you would say he doesn't either. The kids mostly suffer with allergies. Hudson still ask about you and he was rather upset when he called you yesterday and he said you never came to the phone. He said he was mad at you...lol!!!! I told him you were at praise and worship...lol.....well, let's hope my situation gets better and I know you know things and see things before I do. Please intervene if you see necessary. Well, tell everyone up there I said hello and tell Jesus I'm doing my part to make sure my name is written in the book. Nanny, I do miss you and ask that you keep smiling on us every now and then. TTyl.

Hello Nanny. I've been really thinking about you alot lately. I'm wondering how you are and if you are enjoying yourself? I'll probably go and visit you today. I need someone to talk to. :-) I'm going school shopping now. I've got to go and get the basic things they need. Well, I'll talk to you later. Thank you for coming around and if it's not too much to ask, would you please keep smiling on me? It's the best feeling in the world. I love you.

Hey Nanny. Just dropping a line to say hello. The kids and I still talk about you. We still say "Nannys house". I really wish I could talk to you. One more time!!! Please continue to help me in my situations nanny. I know it's you!!! Unexplained, but I know you have a lot to do with some of the things transpiring with me. I hope you like the flowers and balloons. I will keep doing that. You're still my best friend and will always be. Until then, please blink in from time to time and check and smile on us down here.

Well Nanny. It's been one year you left us. It's been real hard not having you here, but I do believe time heals all wounds. My life will NEVER be the same. Even though I know you are in a way better place than me, I know you made it and I'm happy for you. I do get upset because I can't ask you questions about what to do about certain old fashioned remedies. Yes, I still cry like it was yesterday. I don't have any regrets....i gave you your flowers, we would go to lunch, and have our long conversations. Oh Nanny, I can't wait till we see each other again. We can pick up whee we left off. Please keep putting in a good word for me to Jesus, please come by and see about us. Until we see each other again, please keep smiling on me. I love you Nanny! !!!!

Well, mother its been a full tumulus year without you. I find myself doing and even saying some things the way you would do it.☺ Its always been said that, "The doesn't fall too far from the mother. Guess what, I'm that The Hill kids misses you especially Hudson. When he's frustrated he grabs your old rotary telephone and starts having a conversation with you to calm himself down. He's much better after he has spoken with you. We all reminisce about your legend of jokes and that sense of humor of yours that kept us laughing continuously. Just remember mother your family back here still loves you always and forever!

Happy 4th of July Nanny. It's hard sometimes because when I hear the 80s R&B, I remember us being there with you. You know that was some real good music back then. It's really hard sometimes because I know I'm missing something, something I won't see again. Come see me sometimes let me know you are still around. It's been real hard for me lately. Please continue to help work it out in my favor and watch over my little ones in Rosharon and on their road trip for me. As always, there will NEVER be another one like you. Please keep smiling on me until we see each other again. :-)

Guess what you are still receiving red roses from Mrs. Mary. Her request was for me to please bring the roses to you and I will. She knew how well you admired her roses from her flower garden. She watches me in the front yard as I wear your favorite Trinity UMC hat. She tells me, "Girl, I thought that was Mrs. Cooper working in the yard when I saw that hat of yours on my head." (Carolyn) I really thank you for all the " Kasper " suits and "Tahara" suits you left me there were other nice suits but those there ,they make me feel like I'm your reincarnation! Thank you mother, I just really miss you and it hasn't been a full year. There is so many reminders of you here and I can't wait to see you once again so we can catch up on all the things we didn't get a chance to share with one another. Love You Always and Forever!

Hello Nanny. I was just dropping a few lines to say, "hello". Things aren't the same around here. Hudson tried calling you the other day, but he said you were busy. I asked if he left you a message, but he said,"no". He was upset and said he was mad at you. I explained you have to attend praise and worship every 5 on the hour. Ha ha!!! I know you are around, and I'm glad to know you are happy. It was good talking with you, Nanny. Until then please keep smiling on us over here. Love you.

Was thinking of you today. I want to know can you do a favor for me? Tomorrow is an important day for my mom and i. Would you please go and talk to the Lord and put a good word in for us that everything goes well? I'll even save a seat for you. :-) I still feel this emptiness and honestly I don't think it will ever be filled. Not in this life. I had a dream of you the other night that seemed so real. Periodically, please come check on me from time to time. Know that you are thought of everyday. Until next time we see each other, please keep smiling on me. Talk to you later.

I sent you a message on your birthday, but it didn't get posted. I wanted to say HAPPY 91st BIRTHDAY!!!! You are truly missed and it's so cute that the boys feel like if they need to talk to you to either tell on my mother or tell on me, they grab your old telephone and tell ALL!! :-) They also think that when they pass a cemetery, you are in every cemetery. I know you are having fun and finally seeing relatives you haven't seen in decades. Please tell them ALL I said "hello". Those flowers in front of your house look beautiful and I know it's you!!!! I do feel alone at times and I'm miss your tough love. Thank you for taking my children and i in during a very difficult time in my life. Please "keep smiling on me". I'll see u in the rapture.

Mother, we celebrated your would of been 91st birthday without you. There was no planned arrival times, but everyone ironically showed up as if it was planned. Everyone really misses you. My life hasn't been the same since July 30, 2014. It really didn't cross my mind that I was preparing your final cup of coffee you taught me very well to how to make. As I fed you your coffee I could see your approval of satisfaction through your eyes that it was made correctly. I left momentarily to put the coffee cup away in the kitchen and you slipped away before I could return. If I could ask
this question to God and you, would you please escort me to his heavenly throne on my day? This is an early request.

The best seven years of my adulthood life was spending the last days with you. You opened your doors to your home for me not one time, but two times. You showed me tough love which taught me to be stronger for what was to become on July 30, 2014. Mother, I truly and really miss you and I know when my time comes please open the doors for me again in heaven, for the third time. I will love you forever! Thank you Lord for the 90 years you allowed her to live.
