Hot Dogs, macaroni and cheese and Pepsi.

hey mama,five years and a couple days does not diminish the hurt at all....time is flying and things change except for the fact that you will always be my heart,the best mom any man boy or child could hope for.now I learn the truest lessons in life and I already knew you were right about everything in life.you were my teacher,my supporter my mommy and my angel.i think if I could sit and talk to you for about an hour and tell you the things that have transpired I don't know if you would hug me,scold me or just shake your pretty head in that loving understanding way you would do.sometimes I really don't know if I'm right or wrong,good or bad but I do believe you would be atleast understanding of me :)I love you mom,i wish I would have treated you better when you were here with us all,i say that often outloud and find a lot of people say the same about their mom or dad.our family is so small now,i bet you could figure out with whos left just how things are....you had excellent insight on things...well I will wind this up and just say that I am so happy mom that you left before any of your kids did...jr left us not long after you and ofcourse ginny and pop.really and ironicly edith somehow makes me feel close to home,her and George and I know you would love that...I feel protective over edie and god knows mom she loves/loved her twin.i guess that's all for now,i miss you terribly...its like a cinder block chained to my heart from the heaviness I feel tugging on it.Love You MY Precious Mom!!!!your son,Wayne

oh yea thank you Edith for somewhere I can let out some feelings and feel just a lil better!

Merry Christmas my twin. My twin. Please tell all of our family that I love them . And please hug Our Lord Jesus for me. I love you honey.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY OR RATHER TONIGHT AROUND 9 PM YOU WENT HOME TO BE WITH OUR LORD. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL THE SAME TIME YOU WERE. I BEGGED THE DOCTORS AND NURSES TO PLEASE LET ME SEE YOU. BECAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD LEAVE THIS WORLD SOON, FINALLY I WENT TO SEE YOU. I TOLD YOU GOOD BY AND I GUESS I WAS NOT THINKING ( AS I SOME TIMES DO ) THAT YOU COULD SEE THAT I WAS IN A WHEEL CHAIR AND A HOSPITAL GOWN AND OXYGEN ON. THE NURSE TOLD EVERY ONE TO GET OUT OF THE ROOM SO THEY COULD CLEAN YOU UP. I ASK THAT I COULD COME CLOSER TO YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING. WHEN I GOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO YOU , YOU GRABED MY GOWN AND OXYGEN HOSE AND SHOOK IT. I KNEW WHAT OU WERE SAYING. I WAS NOT TELLING YOU WHERE I WAS. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I COULD NEVER LIE TO YOU AND GET AWAY WITH IT.SO I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH THAT I HAD A MILD HEART ATTACK. THEN I TOLD YOU TO ASK GOD TO SEND ME A SIGN THAT YOU WOULD MAKE IT SAFELY ON THE OTHER SIDE.. GOD NOT ONLY SENT ME ONE SIGN BUT THREE SIGNS THE FIRST A WHITE CARNATION, GIVEN TO ME FROM A PERSON I NEVER KNEW THE NEXT WAS YOU CALLED ME FROM YOUR CELL PHONE IT RANG ONE TIME AND THERE WAS NOT ONE ON THE OTHER END..THEN GEORGE BROUGHT ME A BEAUTIFUL ROSE. (you know that george never brings me roses) THEN YOU WENT HOME TO BE WITH OUR LORD. I LOVE YOU MY TWIN AND YES I DO MISS YOU I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. WHEN GOD CALLS ME HOME

merry Christmas my mommy!love you always and forever.....miss you soo so much,not the same here without you but the memories will last a lifetime,I know you love Jesus and I very much trust that you are in a better place.

Pete It is so hard to believe that almost a year since God took you home. I love you so much. This is the first Christmas that you wont be here with us. And You know that I will miss you. especially shopping for the gifts we would buy for each other. Love you ur twin

still can't believe your gone mom,words somehow can't say how I feel and how much I miss you,tough as nails you were until the very end.all women I know pale in comparison next to you mom,rest in peace my beautiful mom,an angel for sure and at peace finally.

Pete. I miss you so much It just don't seem like its been almost a year since God took you home. This will be a sad holiday without you. But I have to remember that the reason that we celebrate Christmas is The birth of Christ. I love you. ur twin Edith

I sure do miss you mom,my heart breaks everday it seems...you realy don't know what you have until its gone,has to be one of the truest statements ever made.Mom your the greatest MOM I only wish I could have been a better son to you,the most loving and unselfish person I have ever known,not only to me but everyone you were in contact with...an Angel befitting heaven for sure,a woman who both feared and loved god ...I Miss YOU MOM

you were always my light on the darkest of days

I LOVE AND MISS YOU MOMMY!!!!

As I laid on the cool tile today it hit me. The smell of boiling hotdogs. Knowing I was going to have a hot dog on a single piece of bread felt so right. The trying times, the crying times, the good times. The cool tile reminded me of laying on the concrete fighting for the fan. I will cherish those times and know how much you mean to me. I would give anything to see you and tell you how much I love and miss you. I know what you went through to provide for all of us children and how much you loved me. I miss you Aunt Pete. I love you Aunt Pete. I am heart broken. May The Lord Bless You and May All the Angels and Saints watch over you. The kids are great moms and dads. I'm proud to say we made it because of you. See you in Heaven. Dennis

WE made it thru our birthday.At first I said that I was not going to celebrate our birthday, because you were not here. Then somewhere in my thoughts I could hear you saying " you silly girl, It's your birthday too. I will be having fun and praising God. so you need to do the same thing " I still can't cry even tho I miss you.I remember how we talked about who would pass first, and we both agreed that we would know that we will be with God !! To be absent from the body is to be with God !!AMEN AND amen. I love you pistol pete

Mom today was your birthday,in 1942 you arrived and 1-9-13 you left...I am still realing from how all this come to be.these days since you left have been I whole bag of mixed emotions-happy,sad,glad,gloomy...you name it and I assure you its in there.while people I have loved have indeed passed on I have never before experienced this level of loving and missing someone so much that my heart wants to crumble and knowing you don't have to suffer somehow makes it all ok,you are with God now.Mom save a place for me because I need to be with my Mommy again someday.It is the truest statement of all when its said that you just don't realize what you have until its gone.Mom rest your pretty little head,no more worries for you:) while life goes on here you will always be the greatest Mom and I cherish all of our memories...I LOVE YOU MOM--

I miss you, my twin, especially on this month of our birthday. It will not be the same without you. I know where you are, so that will make it easier for me to accept. There are no words that can say how I feel. I love you my twin and I plan to see you when God is ready to take me Home. By the way , the last words I ask of you was,"will you ask God to send me a sign that you will make it to the other side safely?" God did answer your prayer. not one , but 3 times before you went to heaven that night. GOD IS GOOD love ur twin Edith

My peter-pig. This will be a sad birthday without you. I have had you to share a birthday for over 70 years. It will not be the same ever again, I should not complain, I know < you would not want me to be sad. or complain, As you and I have already talked while you were on this earth , to each other, we said, " Don't cry over me and please don't be sad. because you know where I will be. I will be up there with Jesus, MY Lord, singing His praises and eating at His table, Praise His Holy Name." You know that after I have written this note I feel better already, knowing that you are up there with Him I love you my lil twin

i love you

I miss you My Mamaw. I'm thinking about you a lot tonight. I just keep waiting to hear Mom talking to you so I can say "Tell My Mamaw I love her!" I have your picture on my mirror so I can see your face everyday.
Your mind is at ease and your soul is at rest.
I will never stop missing you, but I know God is holding you closely.
I miss you and I love you. <3

thinking of you mom on this rainy easter,well actually everyday i think of you....love and miss you always

PETE YOU ARE CLOSER THAN ANY BROTHER SISTER OR FRIEND FOR YOU ARE A PART OF ME MY PRECIOUS TWIN

mom its been a little over two months since we lost you and nothing seems real or right.the house is not the same,my life is not full without you,my heart has never been so heavy mom.while you were here i feel i could have done much better and i already know that if you were hear you would make it all be alright,the way you passed just does not sit right mom and all of us know it.i know you had god mom and thats what gets me through this,i never amagined life without you,i love you sovery very much,strong till the very end is what you were,no one can measure up to my mommy.thanks mom for being my rock and my mom...i miss you terribly mama,i love you with every ounce of my heart.

Aunt Pete was always so sweet to me and my little sister Teresa. When we lost our Mom at an early age her hugs and and laughter brought sunshine in our lives. I'm sad that she is gone, and will miss her much.

Aunt Pete, as a child I didn't have stability or the live I needed. You were always there to rescue me, give me a loving home to find peace and always make me laugh. 35 years later, I look back and feel sad that I never took the time to say thank you ..so tonight I will tell you in my prayers, you are a beautiful, strong woman and you were loved more than you know.

I truly miss her coming in to Sunday School and asking for her hug. She had a great smile. I think she had a different one for everybody that she love just so you knew she was thinking of you. It seem weird not seeing her at Church. I know she is greatly missed. I know that one day I shall see her again.

PETE ITS LIKE A BIG HOLE IN MY HEART SINCE YOU LEFT US. BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THIS WORLD. JUST THINK NO MORE FEEDINT TUBE AND NO MORE WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE. I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE THE LORD. I MISS YOU BEING IN CHURCH ON SUNDAYS. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW IT FELT TO YOU BEING BY MY SIDE ON SUNDAYS I AM STILL IN THAT BUBBLE WITH YOU AND MAMA.I LOVE YOU PISTOL PETE LOVE UR TWIN

I am so sorry for everyone's loss. I always enjoyed talking to you and being with you and my cousins. You are with Mama (Birda) now, so no fighting over the spoon. I love you.
Louise
