You have been heavy on my heart! I miss you so much. I wish you were here. Holidays will never be the same without you! I wish my girls could meet you! I wish I could see you hold them just like you did us when we were little. Timmy's little girl just couldn't get any more beautiful. And his son is precious. And Ashley is having a baby boy!!! Lincoln James!! I cannot wait to see her become a mommy! She is going to do so great! She had some pretty good examples. We love and miss you so much Nanner!!! Until next time...

Hi Nanner. I miss you so much. Its such a beautiful day today. Wish we were sitting out on the lake fishing right now. Papaw had back surgery yesterday and he did great!

Yet again, one more Christmas without you. I miss you more and more as the years go bye. Whoever said loss gets easier with time, they lied. It's still the same, Dad misses you, I miss you, Mom misses you, and Ariel misses you. Nothing what-so-ever is different. I'm in the 8th grade just finished semester exams.
I'm soaring high above you
No longer there is pain,
I was ready when God called me
And freed me from those chains,
I know how much you loved me
And your lives won't be the same,
But God released my sorrow
When the Angels called my name,
Fear not about the journey
I did not go alone,
For he sent a mighty warrior
To carry me to his throne,
Majestic wings embraced me
As he drew me to his chest,
A voice so softly whispered
As I laid my head to rest,
I never knew such happiness
Would be waiting for me here,
Our loved ones came to greet me
To wash away my fear,
If you could only see me
Your hearts would not be sad,
At peace and loved foreverI'm soaring high above you
No longer there is pain,
I was ready when God called me
And freed me from those chains,
I know how much you loved me
And your lives won't be the same,
But God released my sorrow
When the Angels called my name,
Fear not about the journey
I did not go alone,
For he sent a mighty warrior
To carry me to his throne,
Majestic wings embraced me
As he drew me to his chest,
A voice so softly whispered
As I laid my head to rest,
I never knew such happiness
Would be waiting for me here,
Our loved ones came to greet me
To wash away my fear,
If you could only see me
Your hearts would not be sad,
At peace and loved forever

Heyoooo, Nanner.. I turned 13 four days ago. Doesn't really feel any different, Mom turned 40, she's still working hard as always for us. Dad, he's always working hard I love him..Still doesn't feel the same without you on the earth. When you were here it seemed like the world was all right and okay, Well now. Just feels bad without you. I know Me Papaw, mom, EO all miss you. EO has a daughter named Taylor, she's 11 months old. Precious!! If you were still here, i'm sure you would have loved her soooooo much!!I can't wait for the day we all meet again and we can all reunite and live as one big family again.. Well, that's all I have to say for now. Sooo GooodBye Nanner.. Until next time PS: don't play with happy too rough now

Nanner, where do I begin? Today makes 6 years since you left us to be in a better place... but I still cry every year on this day. I miss you and I always will. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you... Taylor is growing so fast... but of coarse you know that. And timmys little girl is beautiful... and they are finally getting to be apart of her life... You probably had a little to do with that :) we know you watching over us and helping us through this thing called life. But we will always have memories of you and we will see you again. I love you nanner and until we meet again... ♡ Ariel

March 13, 2015

Today is six years since you went to be with the angels. Not a single day goes by that we don't miss you and wish we could share something amazing with you. I miss the way you always had a caring smile and a hug ready for anybody that happened to need it, especially your grandbabies!! I know you are up in heaven smiling down, especially now that all the great grandbabies are coming into this world. We would give anything to have you here with us for another day and to see the joy in your face when you meet Faith and Taylor.... We love you mom and miss you greatly!!

Alright nanner, We miss you each day. Going through pictures now. Never one day goes by without me thinking of you. You keep me going at school, thinking "Nanner would want me to graduate college" Everytime i just want to give up i try harder because of you... But i don't cry. you wouldn't want that. I know it, "Don't worry, we'll see each other again someday" Every time i visit your grave i can think that, i have to be strong for mom. Dad misses you more then anyone in the world. He's doing good, working hard for us. I love him so much!! But i love you a-lot!! We'll meet again some day because i know you went to heaven. without a shred of doubt you went to heaven. Your "Jacked up on mountain dew" fishing. Sometimes i hear your voice saying " I love you, we'll see each other again baby, dont cry" Nanner, there is not much left so say but we all miss you, and everything i want for christmas is you,

TJ Taylor

Thinking of you.... September 11th 2014. been 5 years since we have seen you on this planet, I miss you more than anything on this planet. I would trade everything in my whole entire life for you back nanner. its sad without you here. but you are in a very better place, I bet your playing with happy right now give your baby a kiss for me. Mom and Dad are doing good. I know dad thinks of you every single day. I think of you every day, sometimes its like your right beside me. I wish I could spend at least one more day with you to tell you how much I love you!! Mom is missing you as well. Oh and I am 12 years old. My birthday was fun but would have been so much fun with you. I cant even explain how sad I am because I didn't tell you how much I loved you while you were here. I was wrong for that. now I pay for it,Loved ones are precious
I know this for a fact
And when you lose one
It's like an attack

I've lost some loved ones
To many different things
I hate losing loved ones
But it's a bell that has to ring

Loved ones are special
I have many I should know
But it just seems
I couldn't let them go

You try so hard
To hold on
But in one small second
Loved ones are gone

Sometimes at night
I pray for lost loved ones
Even though they won't come back
This poem is for them the loved ones. I'll see you soon enough in heaven. Sleep well, Love TJ

Nanner, I got my GED and in a couple of weeks I will have my license. Im trying nanner. If it wasn't for the beautiful angel shining down on me I probably wouldn't have been able to do it. I'm starting college in the spring. I wish you were here. It is Halloween and I miss my "Granny Hag"! I know you are so much healthier and happier where you are now. But we all miss you so so much every minute of everyday. Ashley and Timmy are doing so good. Timmy is working a good job, Ashley is going to college. She is starting to look just like you... BEAUTIFUL! :) I'm blessed that you gave me my dad and that I have such and amazing family. I miss you so much and I love you.
Love always, Your little Angel.

Linda Miller

April 27, 2010

There was no cake to make for you
For the passing of the year,
No candles to light or wishes to make,
No glass of wine to cheer.
There wasn't a party to celebrate
As your special day arrived;
No shopping for that perfect gift
Hoping you would be surprised.
Instead of cheerful singing,
There was silence in the air;
We whispered softly to the ground,
In hopes that you were there.
I brought you pretty flowers
In your favorite color of blue.
It was the best that I could do to say
How much that I love you.

Happy Birthday MOM. I really miss you!!!

Ariel Collins

its been a year since my angel went to heaven
when i see our grandkids i thing of you
when i hear our kids i thing of you

when i feel a warm summer breeze i think of you
feel the cool fall wind i think of you
as the song goes
you are always on my mind
i miss you dearly

Hiya Nanner...
I'm sorry that I haven't been on here in a while... I've had a lot of things going on. But of coarse you know that. I miss you so very much. I do... T.J does too. We all do.. This year has turned out to be the worst year ever... None of us really know what to do anymore... We know your watching us. But it just doesn't feel the same anymore. It never will again. Yesterday was Ashley's Birthday... When I called her the first thing she said was that she couldn't believe you wasn't here. And today was Tommy's Birthday. He didn't really show it but we all know he felt it inside... It's so different without you. I still sit by the phone sometimes when we have bad weather just waiting for that call... Nanner, we miss you so much... You will always be alive in our hearts... I love you so much.

♥Love Your Little Angel♥

Hey nanner... Happy late 4th of July... We missed you. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. You know that I am going through a lot. And I think that you are the reason that I am able to hold myself together as much as I am. But nanner, you are really helping mom and dad get through it all. Times are so hard. But as long as we have you helping us through it all we will make it. I miss you so much all the time. I love you, Nanner...
♥You Little Angel♥

Heyy Nanner..
Mom's birthday is tomorrow! And her and Tommy's one year anniversary is the day after. It would have been great for you to be here and share it with them. At least you got to share their dream with them. That was their wedding day. I miss you, Nanner. That is always. And no matter how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years go by, you will still be on all of our minds. I love you!
♥Your Little Angel♥

Hey nanner.
I love you.
I miss you and this weekend i'm hopefully coming to see you.
I think about you all the time.
Last night I dreamed about the time
that we all went out fishing together.
It was great but I woke up crying.
I miss you and I love you.

♥Your Little Angel♥

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Ariel Collins

April 28, 2009

Nanner, You Were So Sweet,
Like Honey From A Bee.
You Always Told Me Stories,
As I Sat There On Your Knee.

You Never Had To Accept Me,
Especially Not Into Your Heart.
But It Seems You Did,
Right From The Very Start.

You Were More Than I Expected,
So Much More Than I Had Ever Even Known.
And I Really Really Loved You,
More Than I Had Ever Shown.

Now That You Are Gone,
My Heart Is In Two.
My World Was Such A Better Place,
When I Had You.

You Always Made Me Giggle,
When I Saw Your Smiling Face.
You Made My World Such A Special,
Happy, Friendly Place.

LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR LITTLE ANGEL

April 28, 2009

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNER! We miss you so much. We know your up there having a good time anyway. I love you with all my heart. And I miss you too... We will be together one day..

April 27, 2009

Happy Birthday Mom! I know you are smiling down right now with a big piece of watermelon and a sonic iced tea.
My thoughts are with you, and I miss you everyday. Again, Happy Birthday!
Love, Patty

April 22, 2009

Nanner,
I miss you everyday so very much. It's been really hard without you. I still haven't come to accept it. It's too hard to think about it but its always on my mind. I dont know what to do without you. I miss you so much all the time. Life is nowhere near the same without you. It will never be the same again. I wish that I could hear you tell me everything was going to be ok but I know that you can't. It's so hard but I know that your in a much better place and that you're looking down on me everyday...
I love you so much, Nanner...
love always,
♥Your little Angel♥

Hi nanner.!!!
Easter was yesterday. It wasn't the same without you. You were the Easter Bunny to us. But yesterday we didn't have one. We all really missed you. No holiday will ever be the same anymore. I know that you still had fun even though you weren't with us... I miss and love you so much, Nanner... You will always be the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last at night. Love you.
♥Love Forever,
Your little Angel♥

Patty Taylor

April 12, 2009

Hi mom! Here it is, our first holiday without you. The pain has not lessened. I wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you all day and wishing you could be here, or that I could see your smiling face for at least a few minutes. It was raining today, so I did not get out to see you, but I know that you were looking down from heaven and crying wishing you could be here too. I love you very much mom and I know we will meet again someday.
Love Always and Forever, Patty

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put his arms around you
And whispered "Come with me."

With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer
And slowly fade away
Although we love you dearly
We could not ask you to stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day
Life doesn't seem the same
Since you've gone away.

No more fishing trips
Or holidays spent together
No more late night calls
To warn us of bad weather.

No more "spider monkey
Jazzed up on Mountain Dew"
No more sunny days
Spent chillin at the zoo.

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seam to hear you whisper
"Cheer up and carry on."

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
"Don't cry, I'm in God's Keeping
We'll meet again someday."

Kathy Miller

March 22, 2009

They say that time will heal the wounds
From losing you - I hope its soon.
They say that we will meet again
I hope its not too long till then.
I'm glad your pain is finally gone
It was your time for moving on.
You fought for us, you did your best.
Now finally, you get to rest.
Of all the things I've left unsaid,
Only one sticks in my head.
So I'll say it now for all to hear,
In hopes that somehow you are near.

Thank you for the times
You took us to the park,
And played "monster" with us,
Until almost dark.
Thank you for the fishing trips,
So we could be together,
And teaching us to build a fort,
In case of nasty weather.
Thank you for snow ice cream,
And pine cone fights and when
You kissed away all the hurts
That happened now and then.
Thanks for being "Granny Hag"
On Halloween so often,
And making Christmas mean so much,
It could never be forgotten.
Thanks for showing us
How to laugh and play,
And taking time for the moments,
That mean so much today.
Although our tears are many
Since you have been gone,
Our hearts are full of memories,
In which you will live on.
For the sacrifices you made,
And the joy our memories bring,
We love you so much mom:
Thanks for everything.
