16 years today, since I've seen your beautiful face in person. GOD knows I miss you SO much. I still find myself talking about you or doing something in your name, almost daily. I wish I had got your voice on recording. I'd love to hear it again. I love you Gma. 

Hard to believe it's been 15 years today. 15 years since I've heard your voice, your laugh, or seen your beautiful hands. I think of you all the time, and wonder what life would be like if you were here. I love and miss you so much!! It says a lot about someone when they've been gone 15 years but their name is still mentioned so often. You'll never be forgotten. Stay close to my Mom, dad, Brother and uncle Steven. Your all Loved!

Today is the day we lost you. I HATE the month of February. We lost Mom, ur daughter on the 15th, which was also the day I buried you. I MISS you guys so much. Life is so different without you. I mean, I guess I always knew that someday you'd go to Heaven, yet I still never imagined My life without you!! I'm going thru SO MUCH right now. I wish u were here but I take comfort knowing u are all in a much better place. I think of you ,mom and Pops, EVERYDAY and all day long Linda Lou or fruit toc, as Uncle Stevie called her, have been telling stories about you guys all day. She misses everyone too and has been as Down as I've been today. Tuesday won't be much better cuz that's when we buried you and lost our Mom. Please make sure Mom knows how much we LOVE her too. I sure HOPE to see you again one day. In the meantime I've made my Life harder than it has to be. I need your strength Gma. Lindas hands are a little bigger than mine and look just like yours and Mom's. Holding your beautiful hands as you passed on, helps me deal with losing you but I wanna cry Everytime I see my Sissy's hands. She's beautiful Gma, just like you and Mom. Your always in my heart and on my mind. Give Mom a kiss for me and tell her to give my Pops one from us too. I sure miss all of you but YOU were my keeper and I love you for it. Bye Gma, til next time. Love and miss you always

There's so much going on in my life right now, that's not my fault and outta my control. I know you wouldn't be Happy of u were here. I think about u and my parents EVERY day. The only comfort I have is knowing that your in a much better place!! I love u. Take care of my GPA, Mom and Dad.

Today is one of your Birthdays. I went to the graveyard and as I decorated it this year, I thought of a conversation you and I had about why you weren't wanting us to have a funeral for you, and why you were (at the time) choosing not to be buried...you said everyone would forget about you once you were "In the ground". I smiled becuz it is the one time you were actually wrong becuz even your little P and a J (as you called him) stops by with his Family from time to time. You can NEVER be forgotten, just seriously missed! We love you, and we make sure our kids and grand kids know of you also. Happy Birthday Gma...at least you have both of your babies there to celebrate with you. Kiss my Mom for Me...I love you !!

12 years today that you have been gone! It's still a hard day for me. Every time I think of sitting beside you on your bed, holding your pretty little hand. I could feel your heart beat in your hand and then, suddenly I didn't feel it anymore. The funeral home took 3 hours to get you so I stayed there beside you, still holding your hand. I knew if I let go, I'd never see your hands again. Even tho that was hard, I'm thankful I got to be there with you. I love you...you'll never be forgotten! Kiss my Momma for me.

The last post wasn't really done on Dec7th 2019, obviously because my mom, your daughter, is already in heaven with you and has been since February 15th. That's the same day we buried you, Grandma. When she passed away on that day it was the 1st thing I thought of. Mom died of a broken heart and even tho I know a lot of that had to do with dad passing away Sept 19th 2018, I feel I didn't help much. I tried so hard Grandma, to get her to love me, like you loved her. Don't get me wrong, I know she loved me but I think, at times, she still looked at me like me being born was where her life started going wrong. Before she passed away, I tried to tell her that I loved her, that I forgave her and I had a very long time ago. I tried to tell her that all I ever wanted to be close to her like you and her were. I guess it's just something about ME because my own daughter doesn't want that with me either. My relationship with my mom showed me that I WANTED to have a close mother/daughter relationship with mine, if I was ever blessed with one. Well, Christy is 23 now with a lil girl of her own and a son on the way. She hates me Gma, and I wish I understood why. Like I said, it has to be something I'M doing wrong so if you can find a way to show me what I need to do....like in a dream, I'm good at following directions. I don't want to still be trying to fix things with my daughter, like I was trying to with my mom, on my death bed. Will you kiss my mom for me? Tell her I miss her, and I'm sorry that she felt lonely and like none of us cared. All 3 of us cared. I guess we just thought we'd have more time, IDK. I love you Grandma. I know she's with the lord but make sure mom is having a good time. I'm sure you, mom and Gma Shannon are "Junkin" your lil hearts out. At least I hope so. I'd love to see my mom genuinely smile!

With everything else that's already going on, facing the 11th of February was just impossible for me. I feel like I'm losing my mom all over again because really I am! I'm sure you already know that your baby girl is in the hospital and may not make it much longer. I feel like I have so much I need to say to her.

Thinking of you and Uncle Stevie on Thanksgiving. I love you and still miss u so much!

Hey Mom, just want to let you know that I miss you so very much. My life just hasn't been the same since you left. I've been so lost & lonely without you. Sometimes I feel that there's not much of a reason to go on. Seems my relationship with family is falling apart, my kids act like I don't exist. It sure hurts to need help and there's nobody that cares. Hard to believe you've been gone for nine years, I go to sleep at night praying you'll come to see me in my dreams. But that's only happened once. I really need you now very bad! So you can talk me outta my mood. Well Mom, hugs & kisses I love you so much, guess after your mom leaves birthdays, holidays & special occasions just aren't what they were! I may be seeing you not too far in the future, yacknow there's only 17 years between us, & life's just getting to where, it hurts!! Plz come talk to me if you can get away for a while! Love you, Mommy's Girl!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!!! You don't know how much I wish you were here with me to celebrate....both days. Your the only person I know with 2 birthday's, lol. I love you.....I'm trying to work thru things so I can finally let you go but it's a rough process. Seems like I did more harm than good to my life before I figured out what was "broken" about me. I love you and think of you and Stevie EVERYDAY!!!!

I can always tell when it's getting close to the day of your passing. I already think of you every day but as the day gets closer I find myself feeling more and more depressed. I miss you so much!!!!

Today would've been one of your birthdays.....you know why I say this but for those of you who don't know here's the story. My grandmother came from a time when birth certificates weren't something you needed for everything you do and didn't have a driver license until she was in her late 20's, therefore she didn't even apply for her birth record until this time. It took quite some time for her record to be located and when it was she found that her birth day of record was April 20th. However, her mother, my great grandma Shannon said her birthday was April 22nd and the record was wrong, stating that SHE should know...afterall, she was there ;) So now it's a running joke every year as to which day we choose to celebrate Grandma Linda's birthday on. Now that this is out of the way....back to what I want to say to Grandma....
I wish you were here. I'm going thru so much right now and YOU are one person, aside from my uncle Jamie, who gives good advice that's not always what I want to hear. I miss so much about you that I find myself wishing to hear your voice just one more time....and help me ease some of the pain I feel every day! I didn't realize just how much you helped me and how much I needed you until you were gone. I wish I would've asked you more about our family history. I loved to hear you tell the stories and I would've learned more about our family. I wish you could see my little brother now, you would be proud of him, Grandmda, the man and the father he's become. I hope I can do better to make you proud of me....I know I have a lot to do but I can't let all you've done go by the wayside. I pray for a better ME to be better for my children. I love you ALWAYS!! 
love,
Tidey

Well Mom, its your favorite daughter!! lol Hard to believe you left us seven years ago. We had one of the most special bonds a mother/daughter could EVER have! You weren't just my mom, we will and will forever remain best friends. I wish we could have spent many more years together but God had his own plans for you. God knew you were struggling to survive, was in too much pain and was tired. I hope you and Steven are taking care of one another. We had so many wonderful times together, going fishing, to the ocean,... the time we went to Tenn. on vacation was awesome. We sat up ALL night talking, as you told me MANY great stories about passed family members. I know you are with those you love now, brothers, mother aunts, uncles and cousins alike. Wow you guys are having a family reunion! lol Tell all I miss them and love them. I had a strange dream mom. I was looking for you and Grandma Shannon. I finally found you both. You both were beautiful! You looked like you did in a picture I have of your Sweet 16! What a hottie You have always been beautiful. But when I walked into the room, you both turned to me and said, why are you here Cat? hen you said' I'm not supposed to be there and I had to go back. It was so real I had to look around when I woke up to see where you went! I know someday we'll be together. Mom I've missed your guidance, hugs and kisses. You NEVER beat around the bush or tried to sugar coat how you felt I loved that about you and much more! When I was a little girl I called you "My Big Mommy, little did I realize you was only 5'2" tall. lol I guess everything looks tall when you're little. I'm happy you was such a wonderful grandma to my kids! They love and miss you so much. Mom gotta go but believe this, I'll be back with more fun stuff we did and shared together and lots of good pictures for you! XOXO Cat

Well, as you know, your first granddaughter just turned 40! You once told me not to be in such a rush to grow up because the older I get, the older YOU get....well, looks like you have eternal beauty now and I'm still just getting older ;) I think about you so often that I find myself talking like you're still here. A friend of mine commented "You sure loved your grandma, didn't ya Kelly"? At first I was going to apologize to her for how much I talk about you, but then I looked at her and said "Yes, I sure did, and I was gonna apologize for speaking of her so much and changed my mind because I'll NEVER apologize for THAT! That's how I keep her memory alive with MY kids". I miss you sooo much granny ma. On your birthday, in April, I'll be redecorating your plot, with Spring colors of course. I know your with our Lord and that gives me comfort. Often I just find myself wishing he could have waited to need you just a little longer. I love you....today, tomorrow, forever!!

Grandma Linda go figure Tidey is ALWAYS finding to cool stuff to help us feel closer to you!!!! I Miss You and so does everyone else.... Bob is finally where hes supposed to be, hate to BUT L.O.L. keep an eye on all of us and know we love, cherish, and miss you more than words can express!!!! You was and forever will be AMAZING!!!! XOXO
