It’s your birthdays mama. It’s been 5 years. It just doesn’t seem real after all this time. I don’t think it ever will. I hope that you’re happy with no pain and watching over all of us. Drew starts kindergarten and Brookes in 6th grade!  Daddy misses you so much but I know deep down he’s glad you’re not suffering. It’s just so hard for him.Life is so short, it seems like the time is just going too fast. Enjoy your day. Love Barbie

Mama I remember your love of flowers and how you always planted the yard do beautifully. As soon as I could work at 14 I got a workers permit and worked in the garden center and I loved learning about all of the flowers. I think of that all the time and of you when I see butterflies.
