Went to your gravesite for your Birthday, it's always so hard for me which is why I don't go as much. My mom and Mason went as well. It was good and nice day. Couldn't get your vase pulled up so we improvised. We'll go back when it gets warmer see if we can't figure it out. Happy Birthday it's alittle late on here but we laid ballons and flowers down for you. I miss you so much Nanny. I love you.

Hey Nanny,
Just wanted to say I love and miss you so much. I can't believe it's been over 4 years since you passed. I wish i could call you and we could talk for hours. We have so much catching up to do ...lol... Hopefully not anytime soon though I got my babies to see grow up...lol. Your great grand babies are getting so big so fast. Your donut is gonna be 14 years old, Kiki is 12, little Karlee is 6 and Mr Mason who you didnt get to meet is 2. You would just adore him. He's such a character. I definitely miss Karlees updates about you those were what kept strong. I miss you so much. I love you more than you do me.

It's been four years ago today that you went home. The time went by so fast it doesn't seen that long ago. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you or miss you. I kept in touch with your sister Mary. We talked all the time and shared a lot of laughs. She always told me that she missed you and loved you. She reminded me a lot like you. I will really miss her.
I love you always and forever Mom , and give kisses and hugs to Aunt Mary tell her that I love too.

It's two years today and I can't believe how time goes by so quickly.
Over the two years it's been really hard for me not having you here and it still is. The holidays are here and its even harder for me not having you here during them. I'll visit your gravesite again and put a couple of decorations down because I know you would love it. Christmas was your favorite holiday and the memories I have of us during Christmas I will cherish them with all my heart,just seeing you opening up your gifts and the smile on your face its priceless.I know deeply in my heart that you are here in spirit with me. I love you and miss you very much. I"ll see you in my dreams again Love you always and forever Judy
RIP Mom

Two years and it hurts just the same. I havent been the same without you. I lost everything when i lost you. I died with you. It feels like youve missed so much. I had my fourth baby boy named Mason which would make him your 7th great grandchild he was born October 8 Hes absolutly perfect as you would say bless his Lil heart. Your donut is just as tall as me now, Kiki is getting big too. Karlee is just too Damn smart for her own good. She talks about u all the time. Matter of fact she says she talks to you and i seen her talk to u first hand she also says she sees you. Everytime we pass your gravesite day or night she yells hi nanny and bye nanny. To be perfectly honest with you she has been the one to get me through the heartache of losing you. I dont think Im doing to good though People have mentioned to me that Im depressed i have so many things in my life that Im blessed to have and Im thankful for. I have no motivation or energy i dont eat much at all and i sleep alot. Lately i been thinking more about you and how i wish you were here to get me out of whatever Im in right now ...i need you nan. I would give anything for u to be here or hear your voice. I miss more and more everyday.
RIP

Nanny,
Wow how time does fly, its been six months. It feels like it was just yesterday when you were welcomed home. I didn't realize all the little things someone can miss about someone. I miss everything about you:
your voice,
your touch,
your smell,
your sense of humour (was always the best)
Nanny, no amount of words could ever describe how much I miss you. My heart is still broken and always will be until I get to see you again but until then your guidance from the heavens is what I will take and cherish. You were and always will be my everything.
Love you always and forever

Heaven Needed Mom
So many things of Mom I miss-- Her gentle hug and tender kiss. I still can feel her warm embrace, And picture yet her loving face A mothers' tasks are never done, And Heaven must have needed one. For angels came and took her hand And led her to God's promised land.She's surely kept quite busy there While brushing little angles' hair. And making sure they're dressed just right not staying out too late at night. Although there's sadness, this I know -- She's waiting there, her face aglow I close my eyes and I can see-- Her arms still open wide for me.
R.I.P. Mom I love you with all my heart.
P.S. I know you know this but I see butterflies around me more often and I know your with me, there beautiful

I was trying to post in time for the 10th but it takes up to 24 hours.
Today has been four months since you've been gone.
It doesn't seem like it's been that
long.
Time on Earth goes by so fast,
nothing in this world ever lasts.
You were taken from me, which I can't help but think was unfair,
This feeling that I carry with me is a pain I can not bare.
Not only were you my Nan, you were my best friend,
We had a bond so strong I never thought would end.
Nan, there are not enough words to tell you that I miss you so much.
What I would give just to feel your touch.
A kiss upon my forehead,
another tuck into bed.
For you to sit in your chair
and gently braid my hair.
For me stay "I love you"
and for you to say it to,
Those are all the wishes that I have wished could come true.
The day you were called "home" I wasn't ready to let you go.
My heart is broken and aching, this you already know.
I feel that since you've been gone my heart beats a little less.
Oh God,
Nan, how I need you...Because inside I'm such a mess.
I feel like I'm lost without you,
I wish there was something you could do.
I pray that you can guide me through whatever path this pain may take
and maybe in time with your guidance my heart will not ache.
The day we laid you to rest I gave you a key to my heart
in which I know
we will never part.
RIP my sweet angel
I will always love you,
Love,
Your Peach

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her,and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy. I do it every day. but there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. I miss you so much

Nanny,
Saying I miss you doesnt even come close to describing how I feel and nothing I write ever will.
Every night tears flow, some nights more than others, my heart aches everyday and some days more than others the pain of that heart ache is unbearable.
Well I turned the big 28 today and I can say that my birthday has not been a walk in the park without you physically hear with me. It has been a very emotional day for me.
You being here had always been my gift for my birthday and I always told you that. I'm trying to process the fact that no matter how many more birthdays I have yet, to come my way, no matter how many wishes I make, or how many presents I get, you being here is the one I'm wishing for the most and knowing that you can't be here is killing me.
From the moment I was born you were always there for me no matter what. You were my grandmother and my best friend and I miss you tremendously.
I know you are here with me in another way and you are watching over me and with that I know in time I will heal.
Love you always and forever
Your peach.

I got a job today! I have been waiting on luck for what seems like forever. Mom was sitting in the same room the whole time. I was so worried that they wouldn't like my personality and that i would be sent home right in front of mom. They didnt though, it went amazingly! I have been sad for a long time now, but I think things are starting to look up.
Damn, I cant type one word without tearing up or smiling.
Ill write more later. Before Miguels keyboard gets soaked with tears.
