Happy mothers day mom. I said a lot a minute ago but it got erased and you know when your typing in the moment it will not be the same. I love you and miss you tremendously but I know you are the blessed one cause you are the blessed one cause you are with Jesus. I'm trying to get get there just not to soon. I have things here I need to do. lol. Your grandson is doing good. He is really trying but it's hard mom I think I'm doing something for him and I always feel like. I'm falling short. I need your help in guiding him mom. if you were still here I can't say it would be different for the better but I can say it would be different on his life. Our whole family would be different you were the glue for sure. I've gotten better on the crying but I still cry. When I need and miss you most I cry when I think about all the times we are missing I cry but I cry for me not for you cause I know you are in a better place. I cry our of selfishness and pity for me. that is just my human flesh cause my spiritual flesh rejoices in the fact that I had you as long as I did and that you are with God so I know I will see you again one day. ❤ I love mommy keeping praying for us

Mom we talked the other morning. It was comforting and upsetting at the same time. The white light up Der your pillow seemed normal your room had clothes and wigs everywhere lol. And you said you had to get up to go to work, you remember I said you work up here and you said we all have a job to do. You held my hand and when I asked you the question you aid yes and then you left. I was upset I didn't have more time with you but I understand you come to comfort and that was your job to do at that moment.
Mom I miss you so much, my life has seem to stop without you here, you have raised some strong girls but this one is weak at the moment. I'm lost and just going threw the motions of life. Every time I try to re-group and get back something happens to take me off track again. And it hard to cope with that. I try to explain these things to mark but he wants what he wants and that's it, and Chris well you know. And it throws me again into a world of just going threw the motions. Help me mom I need to be the strong daughter you raised, guide me show me.

HI mom, I was missing you today and I thought that I could talk to you for a bit. You know I started my new job it is going ok i'm still not all the way sure about going back into this business. But it is only until I finish school I will be going into psychology. I miss you a lot mom, it's just not real not having you around, my life has been a shambles but I know that I have to keep going because you did. I don't know why you didn't tell me you were going to leave me so soon. It's not right, not right at all I have always thought that death was a cruel thing that Adam and eve gave us. Since you have been gone I question everything now.I wish you could give me some direction.

I know that the way i've spent the last year you would me very upset. I have been homeless and penny less for most of the year. But everything is going to change now. I'm holding on to you for guidance and support and when i start to go back the other way I'll be listening for your kick in the butt.

I miss and love you very much. I'm so happy that we were able to spend some time together, you blessed my soul. It hurt so bad when I got the call that you had gone home to be with the Lord. I know now that I was being selfish, fly on my beautiful angel, see you later.

2 Years ago today God finish building a mansion in Heaven. He had been building this mansion for 66 years it took Him that long because He wanted it just right, it had to be special. You see a special lady was going to move into that mansion on the evening of July 29th, 2012. And God wanted her journey home to be special. He knew what she was leaving behind. A loving family, not perfect, but loving, of course faulty but who isn't. He knew her struggles down here were hard, and she was tired. But she knew she could do all things through Christ which strengthen her. That's why she kept going. Now it was time to rest and God wanted her rest to be assuring, comforting and and wrapped in Gods wholly blessings. You see when you go to Heaven you no longer have the problems of earth with you. God assures us of that, when he says there is no weepings in Heaven. If you take the problems or thoughts of earth about the people you left behind with you aren't you surely to weep? So she is not crying or even thinking about us she is basking in the glory of God right now. Which is were i want her to be, if she is not here with me. The last time i spoke to her was the morning of July 29, she called me that morning as she sometimes did from work bored, i was getting ready for church she made sure she said as always " I love you my baby girl", before hanging up. That was the last time I heard this beautiful ladies voice. You know what it will be another glorious day when i once again hear her say " I love you my baby girl" when we are both sitting on her porch at that beautiful mansion that God built just for her. I LOVE YOU MOMMIE

Hi Mom, Tomorrow is mother's day my second one without you. I still feel lost and extremely lonely. I miss talking to you everyday and you answering the phone "How's my baby?" I know that you are not in pain anymore and I would want that i just wish it was not at the expense of me not having you here. I can't even talk to the rest of the family because they are lost without you. Nothing is the same, you know i cried the other day because i know that i will never be able to take you to all those places we wanted to go and you will never see your first great grandchild born. Chris is having a son he is due in july, ironic huh? Tomorrow i will be wearing my shirt in remembrance of you. Keep watching over us and tell granddaddy hi and that we love him.

Mom i miss you so much. It seems that my life has gone to a new level without you Living seems to be impossible a lot of the time. lately i just have been thinking that it would be better if i was with you. But i know if i took that step all the steps you took to be with me in heaven will not be. so I'm trying to hang in there but it is so hard. Why, do i have to be here without you i know its apart of life, this is the cruel part. I really need you mommie

We had just spoken on the phone Then God came and took you home with a heart and tear stained eyes I dare not question, question why I am thankful for the time we had All the good times and the bad thank you sis for letting me hang out with you at the bowling alleys, when you would say "That's my little sister now move on" to the guys that tried to talk to me because i was to young. I see things so clearly today you were letting me grow in my own way I always knew ou kept your eyes on me too Guess that what big sisters are supposed to do. but now the time has come and i must continue on alone So sis, for now I must say good-bye cause the tears are filling up my eyes.

God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, and whispered "Come to ME" with tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fall away, although we couldn't bear to lose you, we could not ask you to stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to rove to us, that He only takes the best.

Hi, mom i was you were here so much i know that you are now in a better place and your not in pain anymore, I am grateful for that. I just wish i could have both i love you so much people say it will get easier but when it has been 9 months and it feels like yesterday that left. A lot of things have changed Brooklyn walks now and she dances and she is trying to talk but you know how that sounds. HA-HA-HA, Angel is doing her own thing and Chris is doing amazing. He is coming into his own. He just misses you so much some days he can't sleep you of course know about that cause you and he have your own conversations. I will see you soon enough until then keep a watch over us. I'm still looking for your star in the sky.

You've been heavy on my mind this past week It may seem late to others to say but not to me. I Miss You Auntie. It hit me when I came in to your house after the funeral and didn't hear you say Hiiii Taaannnya only the way that you know how to say my name. There is something special to me about each and everyone of my aunties and uncles, they hold a special place in my heart for what ever special thing i remember them to do or say and with you it's so many things but, the one thing is how you say my name. I've been hearing you call me these last couple of days and just wanted to tell you I Love You and Miss You Much. No one will ever take your place in the special spot i hold in my heart with your name on it. It will forever say Auntie Butchie. I love You. I'm Still lighting candles for you.

I miss my mommie more and more every day. I feel so lost without her. My life is lonely and cold, if God would grant me one wish it would be to have her back. I don't want riches or fame i want my mommie. You know when you think if all the things you could have if you had 3 wishes you never think to make one of them for your mother to be there forever. Now i know money is not everything your mother is, and i would wish for her every time. Those of you who still have your mother's please cherish them and tell them you love them everyday. Cause you never know when God is going to call you or them home. I pray my mother is happy and comforted from the pain. I miss you beautiful lady.

Fran and I were dear friends, we just spoke on the phone a couple of weeks ago just checking in with each other. We had Christmas Dinner together at her home with family and friends and we just celebrated the birth of your grand-daughter a few months ago. Fran your kindness will be missed.
My prayers and condolences are with the entire family. Angel and Lisa know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mom, you were the sun in this family's universe; you held us together with your light and your warmth. You were our defender, our cheerleader and our shoulder. Just as we relied on the sun to rise, we could always rely on you. The family gravitated towards you. You held us near and protected us all. You were our center, we miss you and we love you.
Of the many things I will miss about you was your laugh. Your laugh was authentic and infectious. You loved me like I was your own. Mom I miss you so much. I thank you for always being there and I know heaven is a better place with you there.

I miss my mother, she was my bestfriend, if i ever needed anything she was there. She instilled in me the value of family. All i want to do is call her i miss her saying, "hi my baby, How's my baby girl doing?" I miss her laugh and even the small stuff the way she walked (waddled)haha and the way she was always trying to learn the new step dances, and i will definitely miss her cooking. I know she is not in pain anymore and i'm grateful for that but i want her here with me. I don't know what i'm going to do without my mother. I love you mommie now you will be guiding me threw your spirit.

Fran was my cousin and my friend. She took me in years ago when I needed help. I'll always be grateful to her for that. My prayers are with all the family members at this time. I will miss her.
August 1, 2012
Fran was a dear friend. We met in the 80's and have always kept in touch. I talked to her two weeks ago and she seemed fine. We never know when our time to depart this life on earth will come. If you are you believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior yo have hope for eternal life John 3:16. Fran lived a wonderful life and leaves a wonderful legacy of family. God blessed her to see her months old granddaughter before she closed her eyes for the final time.
To the family we pray that God will comfort you now and always.

Butchie was a firm and loving mother, Grandmother and aunt. I remember seeing her wonderful smile when I said " I do" at my wedding just 3 months ago! and how we talk and she told me "I'm proud of you". I will always keep those words close and dear to me. I love you Butchie, and Rest In Peace.

Butchie and i haven't seen each other since we were kids and now im 57 yrs old. I never forgot her and never lost my love for her. Hearin from her after all those years really warmed my heart. Butchie just doesn't know that she put a smile on my face that day. It truly saddens me that she left here so suddenly. But i will see u again some day. My deepest sympathy to my aunt Dorothy and cousins. All my love Oather
