5 years and I still miss you and ache to be able to talk to you, hear your voice and receive your empowering words of wisdom. I will love you always.

Four years, seems like so much longer. I miss you just as much now as I did 4 yrs ago. I think of you each day and I hope you hear me when I talk to you. You are loved, you are missed and you are forever my angel. Happy birthday beautiful lady.

Though you are in heaven celebrating please know I am celebrating here-i miss you and know just how blessed I was to have you as my grandmom! You were and always be my angel.

Hey there, sweet mother of mine. Missing you today, on your birthday, everyday. Your orchid still blooms beautifully and all your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are thriving. Each of us carry the memories of your never ending love. We miss you. I miss you so. You were my best friend. Did you hear me at your grave a few weeks ago?

Another year has passed and it just doesn't get any easier. I miss you so much. Your kind face your loving words of encouragement. Your words of wisdom and your sweet hugs. Happy birthday my love!

Happy Birthday, August 17th, mommy. I love you and miss you today, every day. Say hello to Aunt Jane and welcome her to our gang up there. Share a banana split with Aunt Lucy, play cards and laugh.

Happy birthday to my angel in heaven. How I still miss you each and every day. I am eternally grateful to have had you as my grandmother and I hope I make you proud. XXOO forever

Happy Birthday, sweetie pie. I miss you still, always and forever.

Missing you, my sweet old girl. Not a day passes without my heart aching for you. Say happy birthday to dad for me.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Some days the memories make me smile and some days those memories bring a stream of uncontrollable tears. I thank God for the love and joy you brought into my life. I could never thank you enough for safety and guidance you offered to me. You were always my angel on earth. In your arms I felt like I could do anything - you believed in me when I couldn't see any hope. My heart will forever feel broken and the only solace I have is knowing that you are in heaven with my Poppop looking down on me, guiding me like you always did and keeping me safe. With all my heart I miss you!
