Thinking of you this morning. And mom and Barb. Hope you're all enjoying some morning coffee, listening or playing some good tunes. I went through mom's boxes and boxes of pictures yesterday and had many laughs but this morning I'm a little sad. Missing you but I'm at peace you all have each other. ❤

I don't know what brought me here today, but I have been thinking of McKay alot lately, and Bob... McKay was a person that God took special care in creating and the shame of itis that after he created her, he lost the recipe, there never was and never will be another like Your McKay, Bob.
I hope today finds you feeling well and that with everyday that passes, things feel a little easier.
I think of you often...

It seems like only 5 mins. ago that McKay was here laughing, or making me laugh. She could be so goofy sometimes, you couldn't help but share in her joy and silliness. She was one-of-a-kind.

How is has it already been a month since I last made an entry? And how has it been 5 months since my aunt McKay was still here? Life and death, it’s part of life…but it makes me so sad. However, Aaron and I had some good laughs this week thinking of our time down there last Christmas. We had a lot of fun. I’m glad we have those good, recent memories!

4 months today. I can't believe it's been 4 months since I've talked to auntie Kay. It's so weird. She is definitely in a better place but my heart doesn't feel that way. Miss you auntie Kay.

Well, dearest Bob, today is May 28th and it's hard to believe "MayKay" has been absent now for two months!!! I'm sure you've already thought of this today, huh? Time, love, pain, healing, etc.etc. all continue to carry with them pieces of my deep thought processes in helping with putting our loss of MayKay in some type of perspective. Knowing our friendship is still strong and talking with you is such a comfort to me. Just wanted to share more of my heart in this guestbook today. Mary

I can't believe it has been more than a month since I talked to McKay on her birthday. I still want to pick up the phone and share with you what is going on in my life and hear that laugh of yours. I miss you so

"MayKay" will continue to live on in my thoughts and heart. My memories keep her near and dear, long after the pain. Love, pain and the whole crazy thing - we shared 50 years of "divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood" and as she waits, when the fullness of time comes again, "MayKay" will be "standing on the stairway to heaven."

I haven't even written a word and already, the tears are flowing. It's just so unreal to me still. I want you to know everything I have said to you I have meant. I love you so much. Call whenever, visit whenever, our home is your home. McKay absolutely adored you and you could see it in her eyes every time, through all the years. That is so special and I pray that God continues to help you remember all the good times, laughs, and good memories. That's what I'm trying to do. You are near and dear to my heart Uncle Bob.

Oh my goodness, Bob: Words can not express my heartfelt sympathy for you as you endeavor to walk on without McKay at your side. She will be missed by all of us. She was my dearest friend since 4 years old when she used to come over and ask if "Bowbwa" could come out and play. We shared a lifetime of wonderful memories. She shall NEVER be forgotten. She will always be alive to me.
