Hey Grandma. I don't know why only my pictures posted yesterday. But I just wanted to tell you I love you. And that I live everyday in your memory. I got 3 amazing kids now. Ryan Asher. Corrina Elizabeth and Wesley Dean. They are my entire world.
I got married in April of 2023. Grandpa walked me down the isle, it is a memory I hold dear to my heart. Ever since you passed Grandpa has been my biggest supporter and I'm so blessed to have him.
Aaron makes me so happy. Even when Im in a bad mood, he makes sure to bring a smile to my face. I'm lucky to have him.
I also wanna say sorry about the car. We were in a bad wreck in September of 2021. I have always said that you and his grandma were watching out of us and Asher that day. As I only ended up with a broken leg even tho it should've and could've been worse.

I talk about you to the kids all the time. You were and will always be my best friend. I love and miss you so much. I hope your up there watching over me. I hope your proud of me. I love you.

Hey Grandma. Its Bailey.
I just wanna say i can't believe its already been four years since youve passed. It honestly feels like yesturday..
Anyways. Alot has changed since then. Most ime sure you wouldve killed me for..But in the end. I think you'd be proud of me and the life i have created.
As of this year I have a son. Ryan Asher Wilkins. He wasnt due until December 19th 2020. But he decided to enter this world October 30th 2020. And hes the cutest little thing. And I'm sure youd love him. Hes actually named after you.
I also got engaged. To the man of my dreams. His names Aaron Wilkins. And hes crazy about me. Like I am him. Grandpa seems to like him. Which is a good thing.
Anyways. I just wanna say i miss you. Everyday. And even tho at times it's harder then others. Im doin alright. I love you. So much.

Mom we miss you so much. This 23rd of November 2017 was a very hard day. This time last year we were talking on the phone and you told me dad cook Thanksgiving dinner for you and him and how good it tasted. I wish we could have had this year together. As I sit here and write this I am cring I know you can see me but I wish I could see you and talk to you. The kids are doing great and growing up way to fast. Mom I never knew how hard it would be with out you. I wish I would have been there for you more and wish we would have been home for turkey day of 2016 to spend it with you and dad. Only if we knew it was going to be your last Thanksgiving. I hope you had a wounderful turkey day in heaven mom. We all love you and miss you so much. But yes we had turkey day with Dad a day early.

SORRY MOM IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THIS POSTED...ONE IT IS A BOOK AND EVERYTIME I TRIED TO PUT ON LINE I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE TEARS. MOM YOU WERE AN INCREDIABLE PERSON. THERE WERE ALOT OF THINGS I REGRET NOT TELLING YOU EVERY DAY, AND THEN NOW I CANNOT BECAUSE TIME RAN OUT TO SOON.
I have so many regrets and so sorry for so many things. I am sorry for sometimes being so hardheaded and difficult. I am really sorry things did not work out the way we had planned, but most of all i am sorry and regret we ran out of time to spend together for all of us.
I have always been proud to call you my mother and to call dad my dad, even if i did not always show it. It is because of you and dad that we all were raised the way we were, grandkids included...you taught us to resect others, do as we are told, always try to help others when we can. The list could go on forever.
I am proud of you for always being so strong all the time...all the way to the end...you have shown us how to fight. Your strength will carry on with us and we will do everything to help each other get through this, the way you taught us.
You and dad have always worked so hard to give us everything and take us places, as well as all the things you have done with your grandkids. You both will never be forgotten. We will learn from your strength.
One thing i never told you enough is how much i missed you being this far away...alot of missed opportunities and now i will never stop missing you....you are everywhere i turn....in my dreams, in my memories when i am awake......i watch all the new tv shows we have watched together for years and when i see a new one coming on i want to pick up the phone and call you and they i remember i cant.....i just hope you are here next to me when i am watching these shows or when i am asking you a question otherwise i might be losing my mind talking to my self. i do believe you are up there to watch over all of us. My heart just aches every day for you and i hope you are in a better place where you no longer hurt and are sick.....i hope it s a wonderful place for you because you deserve only the best.
I again wanted to thank you for all the little simple things and not so simple things you and dad have done for me and my kids. I know it was not alway easy. Thank you for all the time you spent with me,joey and the kids....these are memories i will never forgot. You and dad watched and let us learn from our mistakes and pointed us in the right diffection, but were always there to pick us back up, thank you mom and dad for just being you....
My biggest regret is not tellin you enough that i loved you, i will think of you every minute of every day, i know that you will continue to guide us and one day again we will meet again. Having you for a mother has been the best blessing for me and my family, as well a having dad to. You and dad walked with me through good and bad and because of the both of you i came out on the better side, so thank you mom and dad.
I will never ever forget you and all you have done for me and my family and we will see you again. Until then i wanted everyone to know that you were the best wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt.

I will never take any minute for granted ever again and i wish i had got together with you on thanksgiving, the one last chance would have made my heart ache a little less, but i guess god had different plans becaue i never dreamed in 2 weeks you would be gone...i am sorry please forgive me....i thought we had alot more time together...

I Love you mom,
colleen pulliam, joey pulliam

Gary just called me and I am heartbroken even though we lost touch when we both moved I still thought of you almost daily I have known you for 63 years and have so many memories. I tried so hard to find you. Gary and I talked and shared so many of our memories of you. There was camping, not to mention all the wonderful laughs we had unfortunately at Gary's expense. We were so fortunate that he had a good sense of humor and ended up laughing with us that's after he got over being mad! Then Gary reminded me of something I had forgotten when you were in Alaska how we played Yahtzee by mail. We shared our lives together for so many years way before Gary, when there was the slide incident and then there was the cake on the windowsill just too too many memories to mention here. I am heartbroken that I won't get to see you again here on Earth and I so wish I had been there at the end for you also but I know you're in heaven and we'll have fun again someday we grew up together and we grew old together so I know we will meet again. In the meantime I used to have one Cardinal in my backyard all the time after Marilyn and I was wondering why I suddenly had two, now I know it's you. I love you and I will always miss you.

As only Elvis could sing...."I'll HAVE A BLUE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU".... I miss you terribly!!!

I am deeply saddened by her passing. Pat was a second mom to me and more. Her graciousness and hospitality was unparalleled. So many memories. I will forever love and remember her.

My best wishes (always) to the Woodman family especially during this time.
Love Jason.

Gary, words cannot express how deeply sorry Joe and I to hear of Pat's death. We've had the pleasure of knowing you and Pat for over 42 years, remembering back in Lakehurst NJ babysitting for Collen then Bryan. Pat and I spoke often on the phone years and years ago, then we lost touch for a while. We are so thankful we got to see you guys this past summer and spend a few days with you and the family. I know she was the rock of the family and will truly be missed by all.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Pat for over 2 1/2 years. I not only considered her a team member but also a friend. She was always willing to help our team and she was a tireless worker. I especially enjoyed her sense of humor and her laugh.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Some of my favorite memories growing up involved time spent at your house in Pensacola. Gary, you and Pat, were Mom and Dad number two for me and many others. I am so thankful to have had Mom as part of my life. I will miss her, she was a true blessing.

Bryan, I can only imagine the stories our mom's are sharing now?

Love and miss you all.

Gary - thank you for emailing about Pat's passing. It broke my heart to find out that I won't get to see her anymore. What a wonderful friend, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother - there should be more like her in this world.

Growing up you just assume everyone will always be around and then one day it's goodbye and you can't grasp where time went. I think about all the letters and calls I should of have sent and the lifetime of stories that I never was able to hear. Even today in a world that can be so rude and cruel you and grandpa taught me how to be kind and have manners. Looking back now, getting poked by the fork for having my elbows on the tabel wasn't so bad, and I would give anything to be poked one last time by that fork and to see the look on your face only a grandmother can give.

Look after grandpa and I'll continue looking for you wherever life takes me. I love you and I can't wait to see you again.

My mom will be dearly missed and is dearly loved. She was the rock of our family for so many years. She was a wounderful wife,mother and grandmother to all of her family. She was always there when you needed her no matter how she felt. She fought a good long fight and it was not easy. We will always think of her. My mom is the one that tought her kids how to be strong no matter what cause she was strong. Mom I promise you this Dad and all of us will get though this as a family cause we are strong like you. That is what you would have wanted us to do. We all miss you so much. I know Christmas was your favorite holiday and I promise we will be thinking of you. We all love you.

To my mom
Now in passing,
My love for you
Is everlasting.

Fond memories
And times we've shared,
I know you loved
I know you cared.

It's time to rest
The pain's away,
But in my heart
You'll always stay.

I smile knowing
In heaven you are,
My very own ANGEL
My shining star.

So when it's my time
And earth I'll miss,
I know you'll greet me
With a big hug and kiss!

Thank you mom for all you've taught me and all the love you've provided. It will be forever with me. I miss you and love you.
