It's almost been 8 years in march since you left us all, sometimes I wonder what you would think of me now and the world we live in. I think about how often you encouraged me to be myself, how much you were there for me. I know Deanie is wherever you are now, with you. I hope you're both proud of me and how far i've come. I'm a lot different since I saw you both last, Older, full of a lot more retrospection on the world and the people in it and all I can hope for is that I can continue to carry the encouraging words you said to me all those years ago. I don't have many people in my circle anymore but I still hold onto the love and compassion you gave me so long ago. Thank you again for everything and the faith you had in me when I needed it the most.

It's been 6 years today since you passed, you gave me the courage to be myself. Your music always inspired me and now i'm playing guitar! I hope that wherever your soul is now that you're proud of me. I'm continuing on as my true self and i'll never forget when you told me: "Don't mind what anyone else says about you, you know who you are inside and who you want to be. I'll be proud of you no matter what" and those words still stick with me even now. Life isn't easy obviously but your impact on my life still remains even now. I hope to do you proud, I love you and miss you <3

Happy Birthday Grandma Sylvia, I still remember the last thanksgiving we had and how you trusted me to make mashed potatoes for the whole family and made me feel validated and loved, Everyone loved my food and you chimed in with that same encouragement saying "I knew everyone would love your cooking!". It's been almost 5 years but you always were what motivated me to follow my dreams and you trusted me and had faith in me and who I was. You trusted that I knew who I was and uplifted me and my identity. I needed that back then and your amazing light still motivates me even now to keep on moving forward. I've been trying to do more music like you and I wish you were here to see how far i've come but you're always with me in spirit and in my heart. Love you forever and always <3

I miss you mom. Thank you for being the best mom a son could have. You were a great example of love without conditions. You always believed in me. Since I was born you were encouraging me. You layed down your life and desires to be mom. You were gifted with many talents and brought God glory with them... We were all blessed by the light of your life. Until we meet again in heaven, I'll miss your wit, laugh and honesty. I love you 4ever mom. Xoxo... Rest In Peace in Jesus Holy Name I pray, amen!

I'm going too miss your smile, your laugh, the way you always made me feel good about myself whenever I was down. I'll miss your encouraging words. I could go on and on, but I'll say this one last thing: most of all I'm missing your hugs. I Love you Mom
