I don’t know what to say. I leave these every once in a while. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years! Alex and I are engaged, Curt’s still deployed, Alex is leaving to training soon, and I still seem to be kicking. I love and miss you with my everything. Just help me keep our men safe on this long journey. I love you Grammy! Keep safe up there beautiful and angelic as always! Rest In Peace!❤️
Its been a while since I've written, but tonight I get to sing a solo at the high school and represent our choir and our school. All I can think about is how I want to make you and everybody proud by performing my heart out. I've never had the courage to go for something like this, but I finally stood up for myself and threw myself out there. Wish me luck and watch over me as I attempt to make you guys all proud of me. I love you!
I saw a Hummingbird today.I miss you like crazy! I think about you every day. I'm a Junior, I have a job now, and I drive. I'm trying really hard to be the best I can. I love you so much.
Love,

Your baby boy.
Who is in some ways no longer a baby and in other ways still just that.

We are all working together to make sure each other are happy. We all love and miss you so much. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. I hope you're doing well up there and that you're happy.

I miss you like crazy!! I think about you every day. I love you and wish you were here to share all of my new adventures and to know my baby sister. We all wish you were here to help us... I know I miss our long talks and sitting on the couch and watching Charmed or laying in your bed and watching Titanic. I think about you every day and you are always with me in some way. I want you to know that I talk about you to Brayden and Rilynn all the time so that even though they don't get to know you in person they can still know what an AMAZING grandma you were and so that they can know you.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I was just thinking about you and thought I would leave you a note. I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner. I miss you so much, you have no idea. I always think about how my baby brother and sister will never know your love and support that I always had. I miss having you there when I need you. I miss being able to call you when I want to hear you voice. I know that you are with me in my heart and in spirit, I wish you were all the way here to help me get through high school and through life!! Ill see you up there someday, say hi to great grandma and great grandpa for me. <3

I will never forget all of the days that grammy would pick us three Faith, Hayden, and Khristopher, up from school and take us to the drug store. We would get candy and a drink and go home. For the rest of the day we would sit on the couch watching Charmed, the best show ever. We would sit there and watch tv until mama got home. I will forever miss our days we got to spend all day with you. You showing us how important famiy is an how precious life is. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! <3
Archive Tribute
I haven't written the song I plan to compose about Barbara and "What she/you meant to me" (Working Title) but I did launch my music archive in January, and wrote a feature about Barbara and her influence on/in my life.

Last week my oldest son lost a friend. He said to me, I think I now know how you must feel about losing Aunt Barbara...indeed.
Mom the handy woman
As a youngster I learned alot from my mom. I will never forget the time when i was about 5 years old learning how to fix a kitchen faucet. We lived on 32nd ave in Phx at the time. I stood there intensly watching her every move , removing the handle and slowly dis-assembling the faucet when suddenly it exploded and water shot to the cieling and flooded the entire kitchen while she ran frantic looking for the water shut off valve. Took her a while to find it and it was total panic chaos. Its funny the things you remember from early childhood. So that particular day she taught me to turn off the water before working on the faucet LOL! Love ya Mom!
