Tributes
Leave a tributeWe just had Halloween and I remembered how you used to adore celebrating. Also how you wore the witch hat and you hid that time in that alcove outside on the side of our house. You had that high-pitched cackle and nearly scared me out of my Mickey Mouse costume, lololololol. I miss you so very much and am looking so forward to seeing you again, soon. I love you, love you, love you to the moon and back times infinity.
XOXOXO
P.S. CANNOT wait for you to meet Alicesaurus, oh how she would adore you<3 Okay I better go or this will be like on the phone and keep talking and talking lol, MUAH MUAH MUAH <3
Alice is growing as you would say "like a weed." She looks so much like Tori when she was little. Blonde and rosy cheeks with the bluest eyes and always happy. I call her my "doodlebug." Tori is happily married to her husband, Richard who is in the army. You would love him. They are smitten with each other and their Alice. Nathan graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago, you would've been so proud. Bradley is doing well, I just wished he had your guidance like we did. And your words of wisdom. I love you, I will come visit soon<3
-Arranging the fruit and parrot magnets on her fridge.
-The smell of dawn dish soap.
-The smell of “Little Sexy” perfume
-Sunday mornings getting ready for church and kicking my shoes off probably a million times and her putting them back on every time.
- Looking at all of her records next to her dressing table
- sleeping in her bed with her
- Sunday lunches after church that usually included watermelon!
- Her love for taking photos of everything
- Going to Ms. Fry’s house with her and being terrified lol
- Her tales of the goat man
- all of the jams jellies and preserves on the back porch shelves
- The way she’d yell at mom anytime mom punished us. We always got to be ungrounded when Memaw came around.
- Her clock.
- Her baby dolls
- choo choo the dog
And many many more but those stand out to me the most I guess.
I LOVE YOU MEMAW. I think of you often and I’m not as sad anymore. I smile and laugh when I do. I look at your picture in my living room and remind the kids of who you are. See you soon
You have so many beautiful great great grandchildren to embrace you when we see you, they’ll know you as well as we do just from things we’ve shared with them about your unconditional love, and incredible wisdom. I miss you so much and love you-XOXO See you soon!
