Mom,
It was and still is very hard for me to leave the state of Texas without hearing you tell me "later" and "I love you". And when I get home I'm going to miss your call "to make sure we made it home, because I forgot to call to let you know we made it home okay". I know you are up above shinning down on all of us! I miss you and Love you forever and ever.... Amen. (just like the end of all your hand written notes and letters, with a smiley face and the word ) ~smile~
"Later"! Love your daughter - Shaunda Lea!

I love you Aunt Becca. My you have an eternity of peace. I am often telling the stories of the house in Scottsdale and going with you to the Milk Depot and you letting me Shane and Shaunda get candy cigarettes and we would play house and use your car to pretend to drive :) Or going to the neighbors to swim and you and my mom doing water aerobics with empty milk jugs! So so many great memories that I will cherish always. xoxo Amanda
