Mom,
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Leaving you for the second time this summer was even harder than the first.
Ronnie celebrated his 9th birthday in New York and he missed not having you there. We went to dinner with Chrissy, Monique, Todd, and Malique and what a good time we had. I have missed them so very much. What I would do to be back home near you, Dad, Chrissy, Monique and the kids.
Tyonna is back at school, had to go back early this year since she has training for her "Residential Advisor" position. You would be so proud of her. I certainly am. She gets on my nerves sometimes, but she continues to "wow" me and make me proud to be her mother.
I thought NY would bring me a bit of closure, but although I have found some peace within, it still hurts so very much. Just don't know what do do anymore, and the facade is getting harder and harder to keep up.
I try to move on and I try to appear happy, but the truth is I feel like Im dying inside. The house is so quiet and lonely now that Tyonna is gone, but I am trying for Ronnie, trying to give him some sort of regularity and normalcy. I know it bothers him to see me cry, but I feel like a part of me died when you did.
I find some peace as I still can see your face when I walk the dogs, when I have time to watch the Young and the Restless, when Im cleaning the house, or just when I lay in bed at night. I can smile every once in awhile, but after the smile, it hits me that I will never see yours again. I just wish it would get easier.
Remy and Roxy are good and I missed them terribly while I was away. But they are my priority along with the kids, and my dad. They will be taken care of, you know they will be.
I have ordered an eternal candle for you, as well as grandma and grandpa...this way you will never have darkness and your light will forever shine because it will always shine in my heart.
I love you mom, so very much.

Mom,
I think about you each and every day. It is still so hard without you. As much as we bickered and argued (well you bickered, I just let it run in one ear and out the other..lol)I so realize how much you were my best friend. I am sitting here looking at your pictures and my heart aches as I now know exactly what you went through and how you felt when grandma passed away. Life just isnt the same, and I know it never will be. I feel so lonely and distant from so many. I just can't seem to bring myself out of this place. Thought I'd be coping better by now...but in time I guess it will get better.
Your babies are good. They both got a tubby bath today, and we know how much they love those :) I know that they miss you as well. Remy has become my new best friend, follows me everywhere and he knows when it is time to go sleey night night..my little buddy :)
I know you are at peace, and I know that this place doesn't compare to your paradise, but I wish you were here. I wish I could hear your voice again..wish I had the chance to tell you so much that I didn't. I wish I had my mom back.
I love you so very much Mom!

First Easter without you was so hard. Ronnie misses you so much and although he doesn't express it or show his feelings that often...it showed yesterday. He is containing himself to be strong for his mommy, and I feel so bad about that. I should be the one taking care of him. Im working on it, I promise.
Nothing will ever be the same without you, nothing. Still can't seem to accept you not being here, but I continue to pray for strength and motivation to keep moving. I know I have reasons to pull myself together....Tyonna, Ronnie, Dad, Remy, and Roxy..but at the end of the day, right now, at this moment..I just want you here...so wish I had your strength, because everyone knows you pulled through everything and anything that tried to get you down..you never complained, and you always found a way and reason to smile. I pray for that strength, and I know it is somewhere in me..just need you to help me find it..
Looked through some pictures today...the times we had were priceless and those memories I know will last until we see each other again. Just wish we were still creating them...
Miss you so much Mom.

My grandma's last birthday....RIP. I love you so so much.

You consume most of my thoughts. Occasionally I'll get too busy and have you slip away from the forefront of my mind for a few hours, but you find your way right back by the end of the day. The term "heartache" was just an expression before you passed.....now I understand where it came from. My heart literally hurts every single time I remember that you're no longer on Earth with me. Oh how I wish I could talk to you just one more time and have you hear me say that I love you. Even though I know it's not my fault, I will continue to put partial blame on myself for not rescuing you that horrible day until I am able to see you again. I don't know where you are or what you're doing, but I just hope that you're able to see me still. I'm trying so hard to push through and I think you'd be so proud of me.
I don't know when this is gonna stop hurting so bad, but I just want it to go away. I would like to wake up now, from this horrible nightmare, to you laughing. I wanna be able to see you outside with your dogs or on the patio with your cigarette. I just miss you so much Grandma. Come back to me please.
I love you.

A month ago today you were taken from us...although a month it feels like you were just here yesterday. I miss you so much mom, and my heart continues to ache. I pray everyday for the strength to carry on and help Tyonna and Ronnie get through. I know you are at peace, but it still hurts not having you here with us. But, you consume my heart and your memory will continue to bring me comfort until I see you again. I love you mom, I love you so very much.

Aunt Adele, may you rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord. I remember always loooking forward to coming and spending the night at your house when I was growing up. You always just let me 'be myself'. You always understood me and 'got me'. I will love you forever for that. Please watch over my mom, Denise, and help her and all of your devoted family, so they can get through this. I love you Aunt Adele. Sherry (Stach) Miller. Kentucky

Adele was a gentle loving light in this world. I have fond memories of her from childhood to adulthood. She adored her daughter and grandchildren. I know she will continue to be their loving angel for eternity. My love, prayers and sympathy are with all who loved her so dearly. I'm sorry I can't be at the services. My heart is there. Cousin Deb

I don't know what to say right now, it's too soon. I have so many emotions inside of me and I can't seem to process them all. I wake up every day thinking I'm still in some horrible dream. This just doesn't seem real. I think about you every minute of every day that goes by and miss seeing you walk around, miss hearing you laugh, just miss YOU. I don't know why you left the way you did or when you did, but all I know is that you left. And I hate it. Just please watch over us and get us all through this, because I need to find the strength somewhere.
I'm so sorry I didn't get to tell you this before you passed, but I love you Grandma. Rest in peace you crazy woman. And Uncle Skip said it best...
Love you, good night, good bye.

To my big sister Adele,
I will always miss being able to pickup the phone and having our talks. I'll always remember the good times we had and you being able to lighten the mood during the sad times with your out of left field humor. When I look back you always had concern about all your brothers and sisters. That was your big heart for family that always came out.
Thank you for being my sister. It was the little things you did for me and my family I'll always remember.
Mom and Dad are looking down now and they are so proud of you and your family. They are telling you it is ok to leave them now. They will be ok and they will move forward in life knowing that you, Mom and Dad will be watching over them from the heavens. They will also know that family will always be here for them as you were for all of us.
Take care Big Sister until we meet again, Love You, Good Night, Good Bye.
Your Loving Brother Skip & Family

Aunt Adele, words cant describe how sad & shocked I am that you are not here with us. You were called away way to soon I feel like we got jipped. There was still so much more time we needed to share. It still doesnt seem real. I will miss your smile, your laugh, and all the funny things you would say and do. Ill cherish all the great times we had. I thank god that you got a chance to meet Hayden & thank god for the time you got to spend with him & with me. I will make sure he knows about his great aunt Adele And what a great person you truly were. It definitely won't be the same here without you. Please look over all of us especially Alicia, tyonna & Ronnie. Oh and your babies too :) It's not goodbye, its until we meet again. I love and miss you so much. Love your niece, Marilyn
