I still love and miss you, I have Vincent and Layne here with me, Layne is almost 3, and won’t hardly leave I’ve had him here since Wednesday and today is Sunday. Jacob is do much better and I thank you for that! Chad is such a good man and I know that’s what you instilled in him early on! Casey is off work right now and here. Joshua is down south he will be home soon! The girls are great, Michaela looks just like your side of the family, Mackenzie is a beautiful blond, and so is Natalie she does have a seizure disorder, so you help her with that! Not seen Gemma in over a year hope to remedy that in the next few months, she is a beautiful girl of 7! Looks like me! LOL , tell my family I love and miss them all! Oh yeah every time the kids are here together they visit Papa Ralph’s grace and give you rocks , Vincent planted flowers for you and mom! I love you and miss you

Today you would be 60 ,I hope you are having a celebration in Heaven ! it's hard to believe you have been gone 3 1/2 years ,in that short time you have 5 grandchildren !That is a bunch they're 4 granddaughters and 1 grandson they are all something else ,I don't get to be with them much and it really hurts me but their momma's think they should only be home or in daycare ,I guess if I wanted to spend time with them I could go to their houses but that's not the way it is supposed to be !I do love them ! Those twins are something else ,Michaela looks like us,Mackenzie looks like the Creech's and then they have a sister Natalie who looks just like Chad. ! Vincent is Jacob's son and he is just like him ! Imagine that !Then lastly Gemma is Joshua 'a daughter she is 14 months old we haven't seen her in over a year ! She looks like him and we will get to see her someday ! I love you and think of you often !i miss you terribly ! Your wife Charlana
