I miss you more than words can even explain. I wish I could hear your voice and hear you tell me you love me and you're proud of me. A question I find asking myself if I would even make you proud. I miss the dinners when we would eat together. Or just the random drives to feel the air in our hair. Blasting music and cleaning the house, you made everyday things fun for me. I never grew up hating anything. Only to realize how cruel the world is without you in it. I wish you well and hope you are doing the best you can. I love you mom. 18 years and it still feels like it was yesterday. I will never forget you.

I only met Tina briefly. I was in Tucson, attending a memorial service for someone I had lost long ago in the Vietnam War, and at the banquet that night, I met Tina who was attending with her husband, George. George had been part of the military presence at the cemetery that morning, and I was so impressed with all of the military there. Tina was special...may she rest in peace.

Hey mom, It's today. You have been gone for 4 years now. I miss you so much. I've been pretty sick the past couple of days, not eating so much and constantly crying. I miss you and I think about you a lot. There isn't a second that doesn't go by that I don't think of you. I remember every bit of the accident still, like it just happened all over again. I wish you were here to hold me. I feel like you were robbed from me. I need you and God took you away. I'd say he's selfish. You should still have a life with your kids.... with me. we have been through so much and all of that just stopped. All the late night chit chats and the crazy shopping days and whatnot. Well there isn't much else to say because I'm sure you can feel every bit of the feelings inside me. I Love You! And hope you have a good new year.... where ever you are.
Love,
Your Daughter

Hey Mom, wow it's been a while. I miss you every day. Jeez, I mean I think about you enough everyday to be 10 people. Work is getting really hard with the economy and everything. Marcella and Lupita, I see them ever so often and they miss you too. I mean why wouldn't they, you were the best in the whole company. And I believe that. You were the best of everything. The Greatest mother anyone could ever ask for. I try to be like you, and be the best I can be, but lately, that doesn't seem to be enough. There are so many nights when I am laying there and I start to cry because I miss all of the crazy things you would do. Like wake me up in the middle of the night just so you could tell me about stuff you had forgotten to mention or to tell me a small story of your past. I have Aunt Lisa here for me. You were one wild child when you guys were growing up. I've heard so many stories. Your funny, it's nice to laugh at some of the silly things you've done.
Rebecca's mother is okay, she trys to be a mother figure to keep me sane and in place... like make sure I do chores and stuff, yuck, lol. But she is pretty cool, she just isn't you. I'm twenty now, well duh, not like you don't know but man... I just want to be a kid again, life was so much easier. Life was actually fun, however now, not so much. I wish I could just get a good steady job that doesn't require me to get up at 3 in the morning just to work for only 4 hours at a time. I'm going to get a temperary job here real soon. That way maybe I can save up some money to really be able to buy Rebecca a gift, a true gift, not just a cheap thing... I hate having to only get cheap things. It sucks that I can't afford more than my truck insurance, but I have a little bit of faith that it'll all work out soon... Hopefully you can help me out and kinda guide me in the right direction. Jeez Mom, I Love You and Miss You soooo Much! I hope you're having a blast, and don't party too hard up there, you gotta save a couple nights for just me and you.
Love Your Daughter
and Best Friend,

Tina, i cant sleep tonight, i dont know why i just cant stop cryin and thinkin about what happened and how i did nothing. There was so much left unsaid. I still remember that day like it was yesterday and i have the metal sheet shannon gave to me by my bed every night. I still talk to you and i know u are here for me just not like it used to be. I just cant express how i feel to anyone. But, u will be in my heart forever. I still talk to shannon every now and then...we drifted apart when she moved. But she is doin great. U really raised a great daughter and u taught me so many things no one could of taught me ha ha. All the talks we used to have and the stories u told me. I miss you, and i love you so much. Please keep an eye on all of us, i know u are. XOXOXOXOXO

Hey Mom, what's up? Not a whole lot here. Just got my own house now with Rebecca. We are doing pretty good, just working like crazy and being crazy teenagers whenever we get the chance. lately not so much. well anyways, Thanksgiving is coming up soon. And then it'll be christmas. lol. I remeber one year up in Marana I think it was the day before thanksgiving and I got really sick then over night you got it and while everyone was eating yummy turkey and stuff we just sat at the table and stared at all the food because we knew that if we ate it then we'd throw it up. I remember you getting so mad at me but in a funny way. then once we were better then we pig'd out on all of the leftovers and dad lauged at us. I remember a lot still and I don't think I'll ever forget any of it. which is good. I mean, it keeps you alive in my eyes, so to say. Well.... what would be really cool is if somehow you were able to send money my way for christmas because you are probaby rich where you are. lol. I need to pay for my hospital bill so those stupid collection agencies will get off my back. lol. you know how it is. like maybe I could win something somehow... ya? lol. well I Love You and so does Rebecca... I hope you approve. Because she is what makes me happy and thats a good thing for me. oh and Pumba says hi as well, lol. the little brat follows Rebecca around the house like he used to with you. it's kinda funny. Well hope you are doing okay. I Love You and Have A Good Day.
Your Daughter,

Tina, I can't believe you are gone. I think of you everyday. I was so upset at your funeral that I forgot to get something of you to keep some of your ashes so you would be close to me. It seems you were the one and only to remember me and you don't know how that feels. I hope your new beginning is peaceful because you truely deserve that. Say hi to Grandpa Wolfe for me and I just wanted you to know that you are truely missed and I will never forget your great smile and humor. I love you lots. Your mother, Toni

June 24, 2008
wow... What do I say? I miss you so much that it's sometimes still hard to realize that you are gone. You survive through me everytday. You turned 40 this year and I didn't get the chance make fun of you to tell you that you are old now, lol. I'm living outside of the house and own our truck. I have a couple of animals and pay my own bills with the 2 jobs that I have. I miss you so much.. It stille extremely sucks remembering that you aren't honestly here... Sometimes I break down hoping for youe hand on my shoulder for guidence. I wish you could meet my bestest of friends and my life, and I hope that you would approve but that doesn't mean you can't get mad, because I understand. There is so much that you are missing down here... I mean physically, I wish you and I could go hand out like Rebecca and Her mom does.. I miss you mom.. I'm still your little girl waiting for you to come home and tell me everything is okay, but what else is there to say? I love you and I plan on naming my little girl after you, using the same middle name.... her name will be Rachel Marie.... isn't it cute, Rebecca thought of it.. well I guess it's time to sign off, I love you and see you in my dreams.

Mom i love you and i still miss you like i have always missed you. i hopr for the day that i will see you again. Watch over everyone that i cant be with and for the ones that i am with. here is a poem that i had written on one of those bads days that i had. I love you, R.I.P. Mom.
your oldest daughter, Shannon Jo Phillips
~Fists~
Life has never been so hard
Until god decided to draw your card
It was a happy day that day
Until the paramedics had to say
"Your mom is dead, are you okay?"
Okay!?! I say
I wanted to scream and shout
Then I started to cry and pout
I fell to my knees as I watched you bleed
I didn't want it to end, I begged and pleaded
As they placed the tarp over your head
I didn't just cry, I threw fists and screamed instead
They tried to hold me back
But with my fists to their face, it made a crack
I was so angry and so mad
That I realized that it didn't look like i was sad
But I was, I tell no lies
Because every night my eyes still cries
You are gone forever
And you'll never come back, ever
You are going to miss so much
I wish I could still feel your touch
I wish in all memories to come
I won't get so low in life I'll become a bum
Mom, I miss you so
I just can't believe you had to go
I love you and miss you
And I hope that you love and miss me too.

I can hardly believe it has been a year ago that this terrible thing happened to you , your family and all the friends that you left behind. I love you and you are so much in my thoughts so often. I will never forget the things we did to gether. If it was just talking girl talk,or was just some silly thing we laughed about. I know you are still and always will be with me. I love you and pray we will meet in heaven.

I hope you liked your flowers and the yellow ribbon we put out for you. Thank you for allowing us to take pics of the "site", I'm sure you were right there on your bike while we snapped away. Kirsten and I had a hard time saying what we had to say but we were able to get through it. I would like to thank all who helped us through our first year. Tina you will always be remembered, we miss you dearly. Please stay safe and keep a watch over us. Say Hi to Grampa Wolf for us. I love you....

A year has gone by, but you are still in my thoughts. So many times throught this past year something has come up that reminds me of you,Tina. No matter how much time goes on, you will never be forgotten. Even though we didn't get to see each other after you moved to AZ, there are those people that come into your life for a short time that you never forget, you are one of those people.
Your smile is so contagious. Even now that you are not physically with us, just looking at pictures of you, makes me smile....

what to say. there is too much too be said. and everything you already know. all in all, you are all that i think about. almost every day i wish that i would just wake up and this would all be some kind of wacky dream... but it's not. and slowly, i am starting to realize that. Every Once in a while I have this certain urge to figure out what happened. I seemed to ask God for a favor and return he took you in as his own. It is harder not knowing what happened, I think it wouldn't hurt as much as it does if i only knew. and i think that will go with a lot of other people as well. One full year. and I still miss you like it was yesterday. One full year and I saw your last smile. One full year and my world became my own. I miss you Mom, and I always will. In whatever may come I will never forget You! I love you with everything i got and you will always stay in my heart forever. Your oldest daughter, Shannon Jo Phillips

Hey sweetie, happy easter. I think everyone has forgotten about you. I know the kids and I have not. We will never. We are staying pretty busy here. I have you bike and Kirsten and I took it out for its maiden voyage. It rides a little different with the remote air ride suspension on it. Our camping trip went very well. We had a blast. I heard you tried to come through to Rhonda and Kyler when they were using their weegee board. I want you to try again and talk to them. I just want to know how your doing and if you think I'm doing a good job with the kids and everything. All I want is confirmation that your there. OK hun got to run for now. I love you!!
Your loving husband always and forever.

Happy birthday sweetheart. It was nice today to take you and Shannon on the bike to the "site". As you know Amy, Kirsten, Brenden and Grayson also came up there with us. We had a nice party for you and as you know the cupcakes were good. I'm picking up your bike tomorrow (3 April 06). So many things are going on (you know all of them I'm sure). We are going camping for the weekend of 7-9 April. We are all looking forward to it very much. Well you know the kids and I miss you very much and I'm sure you had a great day riding with us on the bike. Kirsten actually asked to ride with me today. I was so shocked. Ok hun, I must go to bed now. It has been a long day. I love you!!
Happy Birthday sweetheart

We had our first Tu-Nidito meeting last night. It went well and brought back some emotions. I just wanted to tell you that Kirsten and Shannon are doing very well. Kirsten actually opened up and talked about the accident to the counselors. Things are going well for us. We still miss you very much and talk about you all the time. We are planning a Birthday party for you at the crash site. I wont tell you exactly what but it will be nice for you. We are going to keep your bike and probably do some type of memorial painting on it in memory of you. Remember, I love you!!!

I wish i could just hold you right now and tell you how much i love you but i can't...you aren't here. it is already getting harder to do stuff that we would normally do together. i know dad is trying his best to stay strong for me and kirsten but you can tell is his eyes that he misses you just as mush as i do. and kirsten is to little. she is only 8 mom. what am i going to say to her when she asks about you when she is older. because i don't think she understands right now. as a big sister it is going to be really difficult. you have been with me my whole life. at times it was just the two of us. I know we agrued from time to time, but we were just becoming really good best friends. i talked to you about every thing. mom, i know dad is here for me, and i know that i can talk to him, but that's not the point. the point is that.. i love you mom. and i really miss you. i don't want to say good bye. i want you here. with me, and with dad and kirsten. do you know how hard it is to go to bed and try not to say good night mom in front of every one...you were the first person i would say good night to. you were the first person to change my diapers. the first person to tell me that you loved me. i would give you a call when i got home from school to tell you i made it home okay. your my only mom.... i want you to come back, but i know you can't. i love you mommy, and i miss you i love you and you will always be in my heart....forever and for always.

Tina
The days keep passing by since I lost you. There are no words in the world which describe how I feel. The pain I feel no one will ever know. Be assured the ride will be finished. In regards to the kids, I will make you proud and will always keep your memory in their heads. I miss you so much my love. I wish I could be with you right now. The support I have gotten from family and friends is incredible. Our last month we spent together was the best. It could not have been better. It was like god was wathing over us and made sure our time we spent together was perfect. Thank you for taking care of the kids and I before you left. I miss you babe. Never forget our song by George Strait "I cross my heart". Remember the times I sang that song to you in the truck while we held hands. Next time your out on your harley just rev the engine and I'm sure I will hear it.. hehehe.. Just remember, I love you very much and I will never forget you. Your husband always and forever.. George
