Hey Meme, your earthly birthday is approaching (July 12) however In eternity there probably aren't any. Your birthday does give us a special day to reflect on our time we had together when you were with us. Missing you does not get easier, but knowing you are at your best with Jesus gives my heart joy in the mist of missing you. As you now know Aunt Pat left us to join our family there. I can imagine the joy you all had in seeing her.  LOVE YOU MUCH....UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

Good morning Missi. Guess What? The Sea Hawks won the championship. 48 to 8 and it was a bow out. The first 12 seconds of the game, they scored and it was all up hill from there. Even though i did not watch the game, I heard the neighbors upstairs yelling their heads like crazy. I can hear you now, remembering the games when you and your brothers yelling hollering and yelling your heads off. I can see you even now rooting for the home team. I decided to get Askia a "Hat" and put it with all the rest of his "Hat". I love you and think of you often. Aunti Pat

My Dear Missi, I wanted to let you know that you missed a great celebration of your grandfather's 90th birthday. We had a ball. Most everyone was there and you should have seen Darrick's little ones dancing on the floor. You would have been laughing at me and Aunti Nette dancing to the sounds of Motown. Dae was having a ball video-tapping and laughing at us.You and Askia are not far away.

Happy Birthday, dear cousin. It is bitter sweet to think how happy your spirit is in heaven, and to know you are no longer fighting a battle. Yet, I read about the heartache of those who miss you so much, and it just makes me cry. Your life meant so much to so many, no matter how much they did/did not know you. What a wonderful impact you made during time here on earth.

Happy Birthday MeMe. Oh how I longed for you to see your 43rd birthday, but it wasn't to be. I feel that you and Askia are celebrating in front of the Lord big time with all the host of Angels surrounding you. Miss we are coping the best way that we know how. One foot in front of the other. Your Mom is holding up as well as she can. I love you much. Aunti Pa

Dear Miss, As with Askia, Life is just not the same without seeing you somewhere in it. I almost went down to the "Coffee Shop" the other day while i was in town. I guess my feet just wouldn't let me. I rememberall the times I came and got "Free" Hazelnut, 2% on my way to work. HOw I miss those times when you would come up and give me a hug and I would pray for you and with you. Love ya

Dear Missi, I wanted to tell you Happy Mommy Day. I know that askia is taking very good care of you. I know that you know that we are missing you a whole bunch. I am reminded of you always. You know that if it were possible, anyone of us would have gladly taken your Cancer and pain away, but the Lord knew/knows what He was doing. Though we do not understand the "Why"s", we can trust Him.

I remember meeting you for the first time before I was pregnant with Dae, I looked up to you! When Dae was born you & your family took me in as family & I will forever be grateful for that. As Dae got older I remember you always being there for her & wanting what was best for her. You taught & instilled so much in Dae & I'm so very blessed that she had such an amazing aunt like you! Luv U

Being a cousins (with Bet, Pat) and growing up far away from each other, it was so great when we all finally got to meet. We all had instant love for each other. Missi was younger than me, but impressed me from the get go. So kind, so loving, gentle, intelligent. She was so gracious and sweet, and I will hold that in my heart forever.

This was an awesome time with Daddy and all of the others who showed up to celbrated 90 years. Of course there was cake (2) and lots of food and dancing. But it was only the oldies and the very young who did the dancing to the sounds of Motown. We had a blast.
