You were a mirror image of my mother, I remember you used to always keep popcicles, when we came over with Moma you'd always have some for us. Those days were some of the best times of my life. Your daughters are like my big sisters. I miss you and you are forever in my heart.

Hi Mom, I was just thinking today that it's almost time for my bithday again. The year has rolled around so fast. You know that day will never be the same for me again because I will always think about you leaving a week exactly before my big day. Time moves so fast, it is hard phantom that you've been gone almost a year. I know we will be together again, you, dad and us girls. Things will be like they use to be. I just wanted to say hello and that I love you and miss you dearly. Good night Beautiful Woman.

Hi Mommy, I know you were at the house today. Babe and I was sitting on the couch and I heard the door. I know it was you because Joe and Dad was gone. We missed you on your Birthday. It was so sad and lonely without you. God I wish I could just see you one more time. I feel you all the time and I know you will always be with me. I feel more secure now that you are up in Heaven watching over us. I can honestly say that I was born to the best Woman and the best Mother in the World. Love, Elma

Hi mommy I thought about you today because it's almost Valentine's Day. Sheri reminded me this morning how you always gave us candy hearts on that special day. It sadden me when I thought about you not being here on Valentine's for Dad. Don't worry about him, he will be my Valentine this year. I wish I could hug you again and say I love you and you answer back. It still doesn't seem real to me that you are gone to Heaven. I don't know when the crying stops. It hurt so much. Happy Valentine's Day Mom all my Love, Elma.

Hi mommy, we all got through the holidays very sadly without you. I think of you all the time and I can't believe you are not here with us. Dad misses you so much, we all do. Sometimes I stare at you picture and smile when I see how beautiful you were. I had something strange to happen to me this afternoon when I returned home. I think I know why. I was on the phone with Betty and I discussed it with her. I know you are with me and you always will be. I love you so much.

Mom I never thought the day would come when I wouldn't be able to talk to you. I am going to make some changes in my life and really live, because I know that is what you would want me to do. I miss our long talks and all the great advice you gave me. When we talked over the phone your last words were always "I Love You. I find it ironic that those were the last words we said to each other when you were ill. Mom you will always be in my HEART. I LOVE YOU.
