July 30, 2008. . .I too thought about you all day. I miss "spoiling" you with a dozen birthday cards! I used to start mailing them July 1! You are never out of my thoughts or prayers, Mom. I love you. Can't wait to wrap my leg around yours and kiss you on the neck again!!!
Love you infinite. . .Chris

My dear mother - yesterday was your birthday, and I thought about you so much, and pictured your face, laughing as you always did. I still miss you so much, and wish I could sit down with you and have a great talk. Be happy in heaven. I love you so much.
Love you forever, Donna

My dear mother,
A year ago you left us, but I know you are happy in Heaven with Daddy and all of your friends and family. We all think of you every day, and miss you terribly. We love you, and thank you for being such a wonderful mother to us all.
Love forever, Donna

My precious Mom, you have truly "taught us how to dance through life!" These are the words I used to close the story of your life, my Christmas gift to my sisters in 2005. How I miss your laugh, your kind support, the way you shared my joy and my hardships! I'm still having those long conversations with you three or four times a week, like we used to do while I drove to work! Having trouble hearing your voice now, but I know you're listening! How you would love my new grandson, Christopher. How you would have loved seeing me marry Charles at Christmastime. Oh, Mom. It's a heartache still, and tears come easily when I think of you, but I can hear you coaxing me to live, live, live the way you did! I can't wait to have my arms around you again, and smooch you on the neck! I wonder if you'll squeal? You have my heart, and my prayers, forever, until we meet again. Love, your daughter Christine (Frissy) Cartwright!

My dear mother - how can it be four months since you left us? I miss you terribly, and think about you every day. I hope you're happy in Heaven with Dad and everyone else you loved on earth. We'll all be together one day to catch up : )
Love, Your Daughter Donna

Mom,

You went home four months, seven days and 5 hours ago and I miss you so much as part of my life. Give dad a big smooch for me and be sure to watch over me until I can join you. Your loving daughter, Linda
