It has been 16 years since you left us baby and I still miss you so. I know you were waiting at the gates when Grandma came through and I know she was delighted to see you.

Happy Birthday my beautiful baby. If you were here with us you would be 34. I wonder what you would be doing, what you would look like, where your life had led. Instead you will always be a beautiful 18 year old excited about graduating high school. The lord blessed me with those 18 years so I shouldn’t complain that I didn’t get more, but I do.. I miss you so much but know you are in a wonderful place being your wonderful self. I know you can see the craziness down here. This past year has been one I never want to see again. So guide me through and keep a close eye on your brothers and sisters, and Aunt Sandi needs a bit of Angel love too. Until I see you again baby xoxoxo
All my love, Momma

Hello my beautiful baby. I can not believe it has been 15 years since I lost you. I still miss you so much. Right now the world is a little crazy with Covid 19. You must be getting a bit crowded up there with so many check-ins at once. I sure need you watching over us now. I know you know how much I love you. I always think what would Keri think. Would Keri like this. you are still such a big part of me.
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
I love you sweetheart,

My beautiful baby. I find it hard to believe you have been gone 14 years. I miss you so much. I know you are with me but I just want to hug you and hear your laugh. I know you were there to welcome your brother in law. Make him feel welcome and remind him to whisper to Karin every once in a while. She needs it. I know you have watched over me this past year and taken care of me. I love you and miss you so much baby. Until I see you again.
All my love, Momma

You have 2 new great nephews now making you a great aunt of 4. You would be a very proud great aunt. I get to see them all in July with a trip to the Memphis area, sure wish you were going with us but I know you will be there all around us. I miss you and love you so much baby.

Happy Birthday my love! I can only imagine what you would be like at 31, it makes me smile and cry all at the same time. Our little butterfly light in the living room was dark this morning. Jose says you blew out your candle and I don't doubt that for a minute. I had the chance to visit with Suzy the other day...your first baby sitter and my best friend....it was wonderful to see her and I talked about the beautiful young woman you had become before we lost you. I want to thank you for all the things you taught me through out your life and I hope I am a better person because of your teachings. I just want you to know how deeply I love you and miss you. Happy Birthday my love. Until we meet again! All my love, Mom

Hey Keri! I cannot tell you how much I miss you! This year you would have been 30, I got married and I turn 30 in almost a month. If there was one person that I wish I could celebrate this wonderful year with it would be you! There are so many times that I talk to you knowing you hear me and there you are in my heart speaking to me. I got to spend this year with my other family (yours) and it was wonderful. My amazing husband got to meet mom and aunt chi chi and Mark and Michael and even grandma. I was so happy to introduce him to them. You would really love him, Keri.
I love you!!!!!! And man do I miss you! The girls know so much about you and how such good friends we were and how much you meant to me and my family. XOXO

With 12 years behind me since you left you would think it would be easy, but it is not. I miss you so much everyday. What I would do just to hug you. You stay so much a part of who I am and I thank you. I strive to be more forgiving because you taught me. I strive to be kinder because of your example. You were the child that taught the parent and I thank you. You had more courage then anyone I have ever known. You touched the lives is so many in your short life and left a lasting impression. Until I see you again my love.....All my Love, Momma

Happy Birthday my beautiful one! How I wish you were here to celebrate your 30th birthday. And how thankful I am that I was able to celebrate 18 birthdays with you.
Were you excited to have Uncle Stan join you on Christmas? He was such a special man in our lives. We will miss him here but know you will watch out for him there. I hope your Dad and Grandpa made room at the Uno table for him.
Baby I miss you so and look forward to the day I will see you again. Stay with me and help me along the path of life until I see you again.
Have a wonderful birthday and know Momma loves you so much.

I love you dear Keri, and miss you with all my heart.
I feel that you are with me always. And often.
When I drive past Popeye's Chicken, I hear your delighted squeals.
When I see a physically challenged person in the store, I also see you - not averting your eyes like others, but rushing over to introduce yourself, willing to be a friend to the friendless.
When we get together every year in your honor, I see the lives you touched in a miraculous way with your generous spirit. I have come to know and love your brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews through your heart.
Driving my old Jeep, I remember the fun times with you and Rachelle, two fabulous girls hanging out with their Aunt Konny.
I am thankful for all of these reminders of you, but mostly thankful for Jesus's sacrifice so that I can live with you forever in paradise with Him.
Forever. Has a nice ring to it. :)
Love to you forever, Aunt Konny

Keri,
Yesterday was a hard day for me. I can't believe still today that you are gone. It seems like I'm losing everyone I love more and more. I hope you had a very happy birthday and you celebrated until you couldn't run around and dance on Daddys feet anymore. I love you and miss you so so much and think of you so often. Until we meet again. Your big sister, Karin

Hello baby. If only I could turn back the clock 10 years ago to the min how different I would have handled that day. It was the last time I got to kiss your beautiful smiling face or hear the wonderful sound of your laughter. I miss those both so much.
Your brother and sisters will be here Friday and this year we are doing the Rock and Stroll for Epilepsy in your memory. Remember when you and I walked it? This year we are Keri's Crew Two. Even your darling grandmother is joining. So Saturday there will be a powerful group of people that love you trying to carry on what you started...being good to others. The world lost and angle when you became one. I miss you so much my darling and wait to see you again.
All my love forever,

Sweetie Pie, Sometimes I forget you are gone from here because I talk to you so much and think about you daily. But missing you and realizing over and over that you have left us has, over this past (hard to believe) nine years has become my "new normal." Not a normal I could have ever imagined or wished for, but nevertheless, it is a nine-year journey I have made, along with all of the other people who love you. That journey will end some day and then the new normal will be: Together again my darling Keri.!!! So, while I miss you with all my heart, I know that we still have a forever to catch up with, and these painful years won't even be a memory. That's what keeps me going. Until then, all my love, Aunt Konny

So, it's been 9 years since we have seen that beautiful heart/soul/face of yours and yet it still seems like it was yesterday. I find myself thinking about you ALOT the past few months and remembering the precious things that we take for granted in our lives. You truely are an inspiration to me. You had such a forgiving and kind heart and the world would be a MUCH better place if there were alot more people like you. The woman that I know you would have become; I know that you wouldn't let anything come between you and the love you had for each and every member of your family and all your friends still amazes me when I think about it. How you would stop at nothing to get what you wanted. You never took anything for granted and you lived your life to the fullest. You fought hard for everything you did and you did it whole heartedly and I envy that. I wish I could be more like you and I can only hope that my boys have even a smidget of the kindness and love that you had.
I love and miss you with all my heart baby sister!!

My first granddaughter, how I love and miss you. It has just been impossible for me to come here and talk to you because you know how grandma cries even at the mention of your name.

Hi Keri,
You beautiful granddaughter, you. Oh how many times Grandma Nancy and I tell new friends about you and how really special you are and what an influence you had on other people’s lives. Nancy and I lost a son, Philip on February 2, 2011 from a heart attack and blood clot from a knee surgery about a week before. Philip was very much like you, a natural leader and very smart. You may have had contact with him since you are both on the same side of eternity. You two will like each other I am sure.
Love you so much.

Oh, Keri, I just heard a song today that makes me think about you every time I hear it. I haven't heard it in a while, so it got me to thinking, Who would you be today? I can imagine you being a beautiful 23 year old woman making a difference in many more peoples lives. I picture you working with children in some way, helping them succeed. You have a heart the size of Texas, and everybody who ever got the privelage to meet and know you, knows that 5 years ago something very precious was taken from this world, but we also know that you are up there watching over us. You are always in my heart and mind and I love and miss you dearly baby sister.

Dearest,
I've thought about you often this summer. Seen lots of beautiful butterflies, visited Galveston and watched the ocean - those things bring you to mind. And I had some Popeye's chicken the other day that REALLY reminded me of you! A dear friend of mine went to heaven the other day. You didn't meet him here, but we'll all three get together some day and I can introduce you to Junito. You'll love him. Each day brings me a little closer to you. Sometimes I feel that I just can't wait. - Love you, Aunt Konny

So, I was sitting at work today and I got a phone call from a patient with your name and your birthday which totally made me start thinking about you, but the wierd thing is, I went downstairs for lunch and was walking to my car and I saw a woman sitting at the picnic table that looked just like you,I looked away for a second and when I looked back she was gone. So my question is.....what were you doing at my work today? I figured you were just making your rounds to see your family for the holidays, so I'm hoping that everybody was blessed with a glimpse of you today or recently. I love ya baby sister and you sure are missed.

Hi, Baby Sister. I was watching some old videos last night and came upon the one from July 4th, 2003. Remember Tennessee? Anyway, there you were all bubbly and smiling! You were trying to get all the little kids to act right for the camera. So I realized that that trip was the last time we were together and it made me very sad. I told Wes that if I'd had known that would be the last time I saw you, I would've video taped every minute with you so I could watch it over and over. I regret a lot of things but mostly I regret not spending more time with you when I had the chance. I just assumed you'd be around forever.
Today I want you to know that I'm better about that stuff. I mean, I keep in touch better and try to remember to appreciate the people that are in my life more. But I guess I did need that reminder last night; maybe I've started to get lazy again. And selfish. So, thank you.
Anyway, it sure was good to see you.
I love you.
Jacki

Keri,
I'm sorry that I haven't written you before now, I still have a hard time believing that you are not with us anymore. I miss you so much. I miss calling mom and hearing your loud mouth in the background (lol). I treasure the last time I saw you and you were going out with some friends and you let me fix you up like a girl with makeup and fix your hair, you looked so beautiful that night. I know that you are up there somewhere watching over all your friends and your family and we will all see again someday. I love you and miss you so very much.

Hello my love. You are so missed and so loved. I can hardly believe it has been three years since you left me. It seems forever ago since I held you yet it seems only minutes ago since this day three years ago. Today many of your sisters and your brother will be here along with so many that love you so very much. We celebrate yours life together so that this day is not so painful. I love you so much my beautiful baby. All my love forever
