Hi Janice
Happy Birthday!
I miss you. I think of you often and miss talking to you and hearing you laugh about silly things in our long distance phone conversations. I still have a voice message you left on my phone that I listen to sometimes to hear your voice.
Miss you and love you,
Your sister Mary

Hi Janice
It´s Christmas 2024.
Merry Christmas.
I love and miss our talks. You and I had a lot to talk about since we lived so far apart. I miss you and your cooking. I really loved your chicken and dumplings. You made the best. I can´t cook, but I tried and it was a disaster. My dumplings were hard as a rock. I love you and miss you so much.
Your sister Mary

Hi Momma, I miss you so much. Did you see what I did tonight. Lol. You know I had to do it cuz you took the corona salt and pepper shakers so these mini Mason jar ones were just too cute to pass by lol. Those fried green tomatoes were amazing to, I know you would have loved them. Did you see Kinzerlee wear your necklace tonight? I know she knows it's you. I'll always make sure my babies know their Memaw, I promise. I love you all the way around the world and back again Momma. See you when it's time, until then please help me keep my babies safe.

Janice, I didn't post anything on your birthday. I talked to our sisters about you. We all miss you so much! I really wanted to be old with you. Lol. "Those Bates girls have gotten so old. " That would have been great to share. I love you forever and always. I believe I was you favorite sister. Don't tell the others. HaHa

Hi Janice
I just wanted to let you know that I miss you and our conversations. You are loved by your family. We are sisters always, that will never change. Our life on earth is changing everyday.
I miss you so very much. I watch my videos of you that I have on my phone. I visit your memorial at mama´s grave and look back at all the memories we all shared together. The memories I believe are the glue that holds family close to our hearts.
I love and miss you Janice.

Hi Janice. It's almost Christmas. I miss you so much. I miss having my sister here and my friend. I'm so sorry you didn't get your house or your Ford Flex. I'm happy we got to spend years together and we were together almost every day for the last 8 months of your life. I'm happy I was holding your hand when you took your last breath. I'm especially happy you squeezed my hand at that moment. I love you! . Your sister Shirley

This year I've decided to have a pool party because Kinzer really loves the water, I know you know that lol. I miss you Momma, I know you know that too but I had to tell you. Please come visit me soon. This pregnancy is a lot more challenging and I really need you. I love you all the way around the world and back again Momma.

Hi Momma,
You always used to say it's spelled Mama not Momma lol. Now I always think about that when I talk about you. Not a day goes by that I don't talk about you. I see you and hear you in everything I do, especially now that im a mom. Im so sorry I gave you such a hard time growing up. If I could go back I would have exalted you every day. You always used to tell me that I would know a mother's love when I had my own but it hurts so much that I had to know that feeling when you were gone. You never threw anything in my face momma but I can't help but feel everything wrong I ever did an said to you.
Well, I had Kinzerlee 03/13/23 Amazing right? She got to have a cool birthday like her momma and I got to have a c- section like my momma did you see when I asked the doctor to try an not cut my baby? Lol. I had to
She's so perfect Momma, thank you so much for protecting her. I see her laughing and smiling with you all the time and we talk about you every day. I meant what I said, Kinzerlee will know her Memaw. She looks just like you too. I miss you so much. Please come see me in a dream soon, I wanna touch you again so bad. I know your happy being back with your mom an brother so that makes me happy, but I miss you so much. I never thought I'd be a mom without you mom. We're trying to buy a house now, my family is growing. I love you all the way around the world and back again Momma.

Mary and I got a stone for you. Mary had it placed at mama's feet. We are going to see it soon. Also, Kamia got her driver's license. Preston and Molly got her a used Tracker. She's on cloud 9.

Oh how I miss talking to you on the phone. We always shared memories of our childhood growing up together. We would talk for hours about our children and how they are growing up and life experiences.
I miss you Janice.

Hi Janice. I spent the day with Kamia. She didn't get to say goodbye to you. I feel really bad about that. She's upset there was no service for you. Krystal did have a celebration of life for you. Maybe you could visit her in a dream. She loves you and misses you.
