Hi mom, it´s been a minute since I wrote a message to you. It feels like yesterday that you left... the pain is great, however, I know you are at peace now. Jerome is now with you and Rodney and I are here holding it down with my kids and grands. You are now a great grandmother of 3. Your family is growing. You would be sooo proud of your granddaughter Sasha... she is definitely one of Jerome´s proudest accomplishments (thanks to Tira lol) another Airforce baby! anyway... I will write again soon. I love u to the moon and back! Thank you for laying such an amazing foundation. Hugs! Wan

Hi Judy I miss you so much, you were always there for your family, I will always cherish the love you showed me as the tears flow from my eyes,
You were my heart and time has not healed it. I've lost a sister's love that
can never be replaced or forgotten. I see your picture everyday. I sometimes dream about you. Whenever I see a Ladybug I feel like it's a sign from you.

Hey Ms Judy Just wanted you to know I thought about you today and I miss and Love you. I will always treasure the talks we had on the way to work on Saturdays and the way you looked after for me and the kids. You would be happy to know my son is in his first year of college now and Courtney is almost as tall as me. I was going to say I wish you could see it but I know you do. As I type this with tears in my eyes I can hear you say stop acting so silly girl. God bless you until we meet again and we can share one of your good salads lol. Melissa

I love ya mama and miss you more than you or i could ever imagine. I remember when you got sick, you said, Wanda my body is a vessel, my spirit lives on. I sure wish this spirit could talk (smile) Oh yes, YOUR BRANDON, that young man is truly amazing, he protects us like you hoped he would ,,,Jerome is doing well, you'd be proud...

Hi Mom,
Today is August 20, 2012, I think it's Kyle's bday :) .... all your children(grands) are doing well. You would be soooo very proud of Brittany. She is an amazing young lady... thank you so very much for helping me through the tough times. Our any graduates in December 2012 and will graduate with a dual degree next december... as you would say, Party time, oh it's party time!!!! lets party! :)

Your grandson is growing into a handsome young man... you would be proud... he is doing his job, taking care of Britt and I. He often says he wish you could have stayed longer, he misses you along with Britt... so much... God does things for a reason... I know ... i hear you.... God bless mom... and until we meet again, I will hold down here in Maryland ... Hugs and Kisses!

Hi mom,
Today is June 24th, the day after Gma's party, our annual family holiday. You were truly missed and it was absolutely noticed. We miss you so very much and it still hurts.
On Friday, June 22, we were told Jerome has cancer, now how cruel is that for me? Not sure how much more I can take. I am trying to be strong and holding it down like you would want me to. anyway, this is all I have to say, this is really hard to write right now.
I love you more than words can say.

Hey Grandma,
I came to the site a few times within the past 2 years and haven't been able to write anything. Your last words to me were to be strong for Mommy and I've done that but it's soooooo sooooo soooo very hard. When I see your pic on the wall or in my wallet I can't believe that your gone. I still feel like I'm gonna see you after work or meet up with you to go shopping or like I'll have a message in my vmail inbox because I haven't called you for the day. This really sucks I miss hugging and kissing my grandma. Everyone is always talking about their grandmother and I always think about you.
I didn't think I could go through with it but you will be glad to know that I am about to have my master's like you always wanted. I always said I couldn't do it and you continued to encourage me. I'm almost there!!!
Wish you coulda been there for my last graduation and the one that's to come :( *sigh* this is really hard to type right now...well that's all I have for now because I keep crying.
I love & miss you much g-baby <3 xoxoxoxo

Mother's Day will never be the same for me, however, I hear you saying to me, girl, get it together, you have my grand children and you better get it together... so I got you ma! :-D I miss you so much, but I'm sure you miss me too... we were/are best friends... you are my sunshine, the reason I smile... what's really getting me through all of this is our conversation when we found out you were in your last days, you said to me, listen, I only borrowed this body... I'm still going to be here with you in spirit... you and I talked so very much, we shared so very much, but in the end it didn't seem like it was enough. I love you so very much... and miss you more! Happy Mothers day... I guess!

Hi Melissa,
We miss her everyday... her anniversary was February 19th, and it was one of the hardest days for me, however, I made it through because she wouldn't have it any other way. (I know you know this) (smile) ... Mom touched so many people, I can't begin to name them, however, I know you held a special place in her heart. I don't know if you will get to read this, but if you do, if you get around to it... I would love to hear from you. You will always be a part of my family, please know that. Love you, remember I'm just a phone call away... pick up the phone ... mom would expect you too.. wink... give the family a hug for me... love ya! Wan 301.256.5557

Hi mom,
It's July 8th, can you believe it? I really can't :( we made it through Britt's party... it was beautiful. I brought her the diamonds you would have brought... well, not exactly what you would have brought, I brought what I could afford (smile)... and a few other things I think you would have approved of :)
You would be so very proud of your sunshine, she's doing so very well... she is truly making us proud... she's handling her business at work, she's about to move into her apartment... yes, yes, I'm going shopping (smile) you would be sitting home figuring out what you were going to buy her and I'd be there saying, mom, your spending too much money... and then you'd say... oh shut up Wanda I got this... and then I'd say... oh boy... let me mind my business, and you and Britt would go in to yall little secret huddle hahahahaha ... pulling hundreds out of no where talking about I told you I got this! and all I would do is shake my head. BJ misses her little quiet time with G-Baby... it's just not the same.
If we only had more time.
I love you mom!

Hi mom,
Yesterday was two months since you've been gone... and two months and 12 days since I've spoken to you... I want you back so bad... I miss you so much. I am planning Britt's party but it needs your touch. I looked at your picture this morning and touched your urn and thanked you for keeping me so strong, but I have to tell you, I miss you mama. There's not a day that goes by without you in my thoughts and prayers. I love and miss you so very much mom. Damn, can't believe your gone.

Hi mom,
Today is Easter, what a rough weekend... this is your special weekend, you loved Easter like no other. You'd make sure Bran and Britt was dressed to the 9 and Brandon always wanted to go to Mommy Joan's because he wanted to find the eggs... that were always filled with money... remember that year? lol, the kids were sooo very excited. He asked about going to "Grandma's" today, he said, we have to do the Easter egg hunt... I guess he forgot, "Grandma" is no longer here. That set me back for a minute, but I'm making all of his favorites and Britt's going to color eggs with him today and we are going to hide some eggs outside and see if we can do it as good as you use to do it, but I don't know... You had a way that was mighty sweet :). Anyway, I need to finish dinner because I know your yelling now, dinner should have been finished. Love you with all my heart. Wan

I am not sure why my entry is not on here but I posted it the other day. Anyway I miss and love you Aunt Judy. When God made you he broke the mode. You could never be duplicated. You spoke your mind but never meant any harm. It was always done with a smile. You would do anything for anyone from the heart and never threw it back up in their face.YOU were the person who kept the family together. You will always be in my heart and your Great-neices know all about you. Until we meet again........PS we found Jr

To my mom,
Wow, it's been a month and five days and people are still finding out that you are gone. It still seems like yesterday. I've been having a few rough days. I received your box from comcast today and in it was a book from your comcast family, an unexpected book of writings of how they felt about you. Mom, I had to close it back... So, when I opened it up again, the first few words in the first writing said... I will always miss your fiery character... now, anyone who knew you knew you had a love but fiery character... that we ALL LOVED. You always claimed that you depended on me so much but daily I realized I didn't make a decision without you. JZ, this is hard baby girl, but I'm trying all for you because I know you would ask me to keep trying and I am... I love you mom and I miss you so much.

Mommy,
I can't believe you're not here anymore. We had Great Times at 37 Mirin Ave, Roosevelt, NY. The memories I will always have in my heart of you will be those of Love, Laughter, Caring, Fairness, and Peace...
I Love Mommy because that's just who she is to me, not Auntie, but MOMMY!! It's that personal!!!
To the Bates and Stratton Families, I love you all as well.
I Miss you Mom!
One Love!!!
