Hi Mommy,
I think about you all the time and talk to you. I look at the pictures I have of you and read the letters you wrote to me. You would have turned 57 this year! A lot has changed in the past 17 years. I´m making you a grandma again this March! I´m having my first baby boy. I graduated college a few years ago with my bachelors in English. My baby girl turned 10 this past December. You would have been crazy about her, and her about you. She looks just like me, and so, just like you! Joseph, who just turned 32, is going to school to be an electrician, Jonathan, your baby boy, who turned 25 this year, is going to school for cyber security, and Nicholas, who will be 28 in April, is going to school for music. As you know, I´ll be 31 in about a week. We all miss you so much. I wish I had more time with you but hold onto the 12 years of memories I had with you. You were the best mommy any little girl could have ever asked for. I´m engaged and will be getting married next year. I´ll have an empty chair with your name on it. I love you so much. There will never be anyone who I could love more. Xoxoxo, SWAK!!
Love your only baby girl,
Kristine

Lana, it's been 10 years, hard to believe you've been gone for so long. I still think about you often and miss you very much! I called Austin hoping for closure on what happened to you but they still don't know. Sure wish you had come home but now you're with mom and dad, I think mom wanted it that way. Anyway just want to say that I miss and love you girl!

Dearest Lana,
Respectfully, we were best friends before I entered the Army in '83. I have continued to think of you fondly even now as I am being medically retired. You were one of the most beautiful people I have ever known.
Fondly,
Ed

Time is really moving on. I miss you so much. I still have a hard time with how distant we all have gotten over the years. I really do miss you. We have a lot of pictures of you on our wall and I tell me kids about you all the time just like I said I would.

Hey little sister, just checking in to let you know that I'm thinking about you and miss you. My heart hurts so much, I'm having a hard time believing you're really gone, I think so much about the times we had growing up in Texas with Mom and Vick. I'm so sorry we let so many years pass without seeing each other. I wish I had been there to help you! I am so sorry! My only peace is that you are with Mom and Dad. I bet you really got an earfull from Mom but I think she decided that she wanted you with her, her baby girl, my little sister! I love you Lana and think about you every day. Keep an eye on all your kids, I'm sure they are missing you very much also.

Lana, I hope you know that we are all thinking about you and miss you. I wish I had gone to Texas to see you sooner. You have a beautiful group of kids and I'm so glad I got to meet them. Kristine looks and acts just like you. She even has your huge feet! You should be very proud of all your kids and I know they will miss you too. Watch over them and keep them safe. Tell Mom and Dad that we all love and miss them too. One day we will all meet again. I will always remember the crazy times we had growing up in McAllen and San Antonio. We did have alot of good times with Mom and Vick that I will never forget. I love you little sister!
