Tam,
I woke up thinking about Mom today, which made me smile and think of you too. I ran across the pics from our trip to Miami recently... good times.
I hope you and Melissa are doing well. Lots to tell you, would love to talk. Miss you, and think of you all often,
Linda

Mom, I know you are reading your angeljouyce7 email fron above. I miss you so much! You will always be my best freind and my mom forever. Just know that you have created two strong daughters that are just like you. Thank you for being the most incredible mother in the world. Cindy and I will try like hell to fill your shoes. But of course noone can. I'm so glad that I have you for my mom. I look up at the sky and look for the hearts that you put there in the clouds. Cindy seems to see more than I do, but what else is knew. You would be so proud of her. She has been quite the trooper. And doing just as you asked. Do not worry abut us. We have the best teacher on earth and now in heaven. Please keep sending us those hearts in the sky.
I love you with all my heart!
Love forever, Tam

Tam & Melis,
I cannot say enough to express my sadness on Joyce's passing. She was very dear to me... I always loved her encouraging, loving (and very direct! :o) way of sharing her life experiences. Our trip to Miami and Key West was truly a trip of a lifetime. I will cherish the times with Joyce always. I do find comfort today knowing that she has finally found peace, and can sit back and enjoy watching you and the rest of your family from heaven... she has the angel's wings now that she always deserved here on earth.
I love you both... if you need anything, today and always, I hope you will think of me.
Love,
Linda
