Hi Mom,
Well, it looks like your brother Bruce is headed your way. I´m sorry to let you know, but the family up there will be happy to see him. You all will be together...We were on a cruise when we found out. I´ve spoken with Missy but sent a card to the family in Portsmouth. Also, Missy´s spouse passed as well, so he´ll be joining the family too.
I think of you and pray all the family is well. We love you and miss talking to you.
I´ll talk to you soon...
Love, Tony, Rae, Justin & Lulu

Grammy, I love you so so much. Thank you for every single thing you have done for me. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you. You were always there for me. I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you in the end. You deserved so much more. I think of you every day. I'm so grateful I got to spend your last night with you. I know it eased both of us. I wish I could spend one last day with you before your disease took over. I wish you could run around and play with my kids. I'm so happy you got to know to them. They loved you and loved visiting "grammy in the wheelchair". They still ask about you. I know you're in a much better place now and for that I am happy. I love you Grammy. Watch over us and keep us safe. Your Elizabeth

For my mother & my best friend that I love and miss to death. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you or want to pick up the phone and call. It's like clock work, every Sunday I would, to catch you up on our week events or I could be driving in my car, and hear a song which reminds me of you! The tears roll until the next episode happens. Sometimes it's like I can still reach out and touch you, and this is all a dream. Then the reality sets in. I miss you so much and my heart is so broken which will take a very long time to heal. All my love forever and know the lord is with you always! ❤
