I wish you the happiest of birthdays across the divide, I miss calling you to talk and terrorize you about the weather...lol; and making you laugh when others though that to be impossible. I rest easier knowing you're happier there, than you were here, give our love to everyone there. Keep the coffee pot going, although it'll seem like years to us, for you, it'll be just moments since we last saw one another. Thank you for being a mom when I needed it, and am unexpected friend and confidant. I promise that I will always remember your name, so that you live forever. All my love to you.

9 years ago, at this exact moment. You were waiting for Nanny and Mamaw to come and take you to your Heavenly home. I had no idea. None at all! I didn’t even know you were that sick. Much less on your death bed. The shock of your death has gotten easier. I’ve worked very, very hard to get to where I am today. The road has been very long and very far. But, I’m here. I’m happy. I’m at peace. I love you! I miss you everyday. I keep you in my heart.

As I’m writing this to you. You just invoked my soul. At the exact same time you died, I kept hearing a voice saying HELP ME! HELP ME! I kept listening, thinking it was a kid and I wasn’t hearing the cries for help! Our dear neighbor, whom we’ve never met had fallen in her back yard and could not get up!! Neither Bruce or myself could climb up the fence to see what was happening. I ran into our Nextdoor neighbor’s yard and ran to the fence and yelled DO YOU NEED HELP!!? Do you need help?!! I saw her down on the ground, she was the voice I was hearing. We ran around the block and found her house. I ran into her back yard and ran to her and checked her out for any injuries(she had none) and helped her up and brought her into her house, got her some water and a chair for her. Bruce stayed with her while I came home and got her some dinner and a couple bottles of vitamin water and brought it back for her. And alerted her Nextdoor neighbors as to what had happened. Bruce put both of our numbers in her cell phone and she Prayed for us. It was so touching. It was something that I’d never done. It was you! I heard you in my heart. You saved her. I told her what today is and how I heard her. It was you, Mom. It was you! Thank you, for always being with me. Miss Sharon fell 4.5 hours ago. Without your overwhelming spirit, it would have been impossible for me to hear her. I felt you telling me what I had to do. I did it! I couldn’t have done this without you! I love you so much! I love you! I love you! I love you!

With my whole heart and soul, I love you.

As always, your 52 year old, little red headed baby, Shelby.

Happy Birthday, Mom! I celebrate you on your special day. I know that you and Dad look upon me everyday and night. I hope y’all have Troy up there with y’all. Billy, too. Give everyone a big bear hug.
#83

You’re missed! Especially by me.

Your little red headed baby. “a bushel and a peck and a hug around your neck”.

Happy 82nd birthday, Mom! I hope you and Dad have Troy. I know all is well. I know we were at odds but on this day, I keep it away and remember our good times. I know now that tour raised me on the best way you knew how. That makes my heart smile. Your forever missed by me!

Your 51 year old baby,

Shelby

I haven't seen you in 7 years nor have I heard your voice. I remember you today as I do every day. With as much love and good memories we shared. I still wonder why. About it all. I hope you and Dad have Troy with yall and you all are happy together. I wonder sometimes about Billy and if he's there with yall too. Is he?

Life is so different now. I never thought I would be alone like this, in my mind. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you so much and wish you were here with me, but instead, your in Heaven with everyone in your life. It'll hopefully be a really long time before I see you but I will see you 1 day.

Until then, rest well in peace.

Shelby

........I’ve made it through another year without you. Mother’s Day, your birthday and now this day. I still carry the guilt of stopping our relationship and I blame Troy and Billy for that. But for my own piece of mind I had to leave you behind. I’m still -lost- without my Momma. RIP Momma. Well all be together again someday. Until then.

All my love,

Your 50 year old “baby”, Shelby

I’m so missing you tonight. I need 1 our talks. I can’t talk to anyone but you but you gone.

I wasn’t ready for today. I haven’t cried in a long time, but today I am. I’m so sad today. I miss you so much Mom. I love you. I miss you! I’m sorry for the way your life ended, alone and scared. I had no idea you were dying. I would have been there by your side to take your pain, suffering and absolute fear. I know the last years we were estranged by my choice because of Billy and Troy.
I can’t believe those 2 kept me from you when you needed me other most. I would have NOT left you alone, alone to die. That horrible, dirty, drunk, meth, crack head didn’t bother to tell me anything when I spoke to him 3 days before she died. I’d have never abandoned you. I was your little red headed boy that no one wanted. We were Friends and although I work very, very, VERY long and hard to fix myself through therapy, Psychology, a Psychiatric Doctor care and a lot of intense CBD Therapist.
Loosing you broke me free but you kept a lot of my heart with you. I’m finally mending it. You took such a huge part of it, it’s taking a long time to get it back together. I wish I could kneel down in front of you in your recliner and put my head in your lap just 1 more time!! That was my comfort and I’ve not been comfortable since then.
My day isn’t goon be the best, but I’ll make it. I have your Samsara and I only carry it on THIS day. I’ll never stop loving you. I’ll never stop missing you.

Happy Birthday Mom! You’d have been 79 years old today! 79! Seems impossible but I know it’s true. Happy Heavenly Birthday!
I can see it now, “all of y’all” sitting around a huge table drinking coffee and talking shit about too many things to type, but I’m sure you know. It’s not sad or hard to know your with God and Dad, Justin, Mamow, Papow, Nannie, Padan, uncle B and aunt JoAnn. So many people up there that I can’t really remember that your not alone. I still don’t know anything about Billy, where he’s at or if he’s up there with you. I think Troy is still at Dads house but I’m not sure. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard from him. I do Pray for you all.
Love-
Shelby

I found your Christmas snow globe a week or so ago. It made me sad but happy I found it. I miss you terribly during the holidays.

What I wouldn't do for 1 more Christmas with you.

I love you, Mom!

I didn't realize that today makes 3 years of your passing.

It's been a looooong hard road this past year without you, Mom. I miss you terribly, I think of you all the time, I know your there. I can "see" you. I never thought I'd be able to live with you gone, but I'm starting to fell better, it's easier to keep you close, life in general is very good. Only thing that's missing is you. Happy belated Birthday in Heaven

Your little red headed boy, Shelby

Happy Birthday, Momma. Today has been awful. I've been crying sine the wee early morning, missing you on this day.

I LOVE YOU, I SWEAR. YOU WE'RE MY ROCK BUT BILLY TOO YOU AWAY. And for that, he will feel my wrath for the rest of his usless dope headed ass. My HE rot in hell.

My Momma. I can't take this hurt.

Dear Mrs. Kibodeaux, I would love to have known you - mom of one of the dearest, kind-hearted sons ever. You truly live through Shelby. If you happen to come across my precious son, Jon David, in your post-earthly travels please hug him for me. Here's to the day we are all reuited and I get to meet you "in person" in the meanwhile heavenly hugs to you.

Momma! I can barely move on without you,

I miss you Mom. The pain is nearly unbearable.

DAMN.......I still can't believe your gone. Its almost 4 months niw and I STILL dial your number just to hear your last voice mail message. It breaks my heart still.

I'd just like to hear your voice 1 more time.

We never got to meet Bobbie, but she raised one of the most compassionate, caring & wonderful person I know. Shelby is a reflection of the kind of person she was and I know she will be terribly missed by her family & friends. Rest in peace Bobbie - you will never be forgotten as your spirit lives on in those that loved you.

I know just how kind and loving you had to be as a Mother. We teach our children these quality's and Shelby's kind heart and caring demeanor proves what a wonderful person you were. Rest easy. We will be here for him and help as best we can, along the way. <3

I've been at your home several times sine you left me. I've been spending time alone and I keep looking down the hall just hoping this is all a bad dream. I've done everything you wanted. I honored your last wishes and now your home with me. I sadder than sad. I wanted to talk to you so I'm gonna Pray to you. I'll miss you FOREVER Momma.

Love you, your little red headed boy,

Shelby

Im just really missing you, Mom.

I never got to meet you, however, Shelby always would tell stories about his wonderful mother, I'm sending prayers to all the family I just found out so sorry for your loss. She is an Angel down watching from above.

I'm so glad I get to be first to light a candle here for you...you were so much more to me than you could ever imagine...a mother and a friend...Thank you for sharing with me the talks we had over the years....you will always hold a place in my heart and my memories...Sleep well

RIP Sweet Lady I did not know you but I do know your son Shelby Love you Shelby

What a sweet lady.....I have loved this family for years. Just like a part of our family.  I know she will be missed, but I also know she will give Jim Bob a big kiss for me....:)

I have many memories of her threatening to whip me,my sister and Shelby for going in and out of the house...lol. We would go over with my Aunt Glenda so they could drink coffee together and us kids would go run around in the back pasture and of course it was hot so we wanted to go in but they wanted adult time. I know her and Aunt Glenda are together again,maybe drinking coffee and talking about birds and now they got to meet Conway together. RIP pretty lady. Forever in my heart. Love you Shelby!

Rest in peace Ms. Bobbie. Love you Shelby.

As a child I have many memories of "Aunt Bobbie" but as I grew older I lost touch. Just know that you have an amazing son in Shelby. He's the voice for the voiceless and a true inspiration to me as an animal lover.

I never met Ms. Bobbie but she gave birth to one of the greatest people
I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and for that I am grateful.. Rest easy lady. . I love you Shelby!

I never got to meet you but I thank God that you gave birth to a wonderful loving son. Rest in Peace.

My Momma......I do not think Ill ever get over you leaving me alone. Even though we didnt always see eye to eye but we always had each others back. I love you forever, you are my Mom, my heart is completely shattered, life will never be the same without you here. My world is so dark now and I Pray to come out of this cave, from the dark. Rest well always listen to my Prayers as they arw ALL for you and my God.

I have so many memories of u...Rest peacefully and tell momma hello for me cause I know u two are cutting up now...
