Hi mom lately I've been thinking so much of you , I always have but just a lil more recently . I hope Perry is there with you I drive by the house often even though it's so painful. I know how much he loved his home and it don't even look like our home anymore. I'm sure dad is driving you crazy lol, and also tell Murphy we miss him terribly as well especially Di she is so lost without him . Our family is always with this black cloud over us I just hope that changes one day soon because it's getting to be so much anymore. I also hope that our family gets closer again because we never see one another , we don't really talk much anymore and it just feels as though we are all drifting apart. I want us close like we use to be since you've left it's been so different mom . Please watch over us and make sure you watch over everyone's health . Miss you all like crazy but we will see you again

Please tell Murph to watch over Di , she is so lost and forever heart brokin missing him . I try to talk to her every single day . I try to get her to co.e to the campground as much as possible but I just feel her sadness all the time . Now to dad I miss his funny calls and just knowing he was here .

Mom I can´t believe on the 13 th it will be 7 years . It still hurts as much as it did the day you left us . I hope that you were there to meet Perry . We are still so devastated over losing him. Please tell him how missed he is and that we are so very sorry that he was all alone . We wish he would have told us he needed some extra help because we would have been there for him. Ricky and Steven have really been the heroes through this because they are the ones dealing with all the business with the house and Steven taking the cat . Just glad he had you and dad to meet him there. Happy Mothers Day mom this day will never be the same to me ever . Until we meet again always in my heart

Hi mom, just was sitting here thinking about you and daddy. Boy I sure wish you guys were here. I really miss talking to you. Miss you laugh! We use to talk about the good old days. The old Reese St. You wouldn't believe how that neighborhood changed. The street looks so different from when we lived there. I don't even think there are any old neighbors there. So sad! Hope daddy there with you. I miss calling him to check in on him every night. He always had me laughing.

Hi mom, it's been too long since I wrote to you!! I'm still having trouble with you not being here to talk to me.. Murph is still having trouble with his leg hopefully when we see the doc tomorrow he'll have some good news for us.. I'm thinking he's going to have to have surgery to get this tumor out of his leg I'm just praying if he does it's going to help him and he'll be able to start gaining weight and recover from all this mess.. I'm also worried about Debbie mom she's having some issues and may need surgery too.. Please mom help these two get through this we really need a break from all this bad news... I love you and miss you so very much mom xoxo

Hi mom, I'm getting so depressed with both mother's day coming up on your 2 year anniversary it's hard enough dealing without you on Mother's Day but to have it fall on the day you left is making it so much harder!! Your girls are having the worst time without you!! We miss hugging you kissing you and most of all we miss just hearing your voice.. I wish I could just hear you tell me you love me more like you always did.. The only way I could deal with this is knowing you are not in any pain!! When I close my eyes I always wish I could see you in my dreams just to know your ok and your pain free would really help me deal with your death please mom show me a sign that your around me and let me know your ok!!!
I miss you terribly and love you always xoxo more
