Mom - Two years today since you left us. I can't tell you how many times I still reach for my phone to call you to give you some good news or to vent to only realize that I can't...well I can, but some other lady has your phone # and I don't think she would appreciate me always calling her ;). I love and miss you. Give Daddy a big hug from me.

Happy Birthday Mom, hope you and Dad are celebrating together. We all miss you so much but it's even harder on days like this. I hope you like how nice we have made yours and Daddy's resting place and the new flags for each season. Missing you very much, your loving daughter Donna.

Mom, I think of you every day and miss you so much. You promised us you would live to be 100...ummm, you broke that promise, but I forgive you ;). You have new great grand babies, Drew and Rowan that were actually born on the same day and we know you and Daddy were shining down on them. I have two more grand babies coming this year and that will make six for me...not sure if I will ever catch up to you ;). I love and miss you so much! Please give Daddy a hug and kiss from all of us. xoxoxoxo

Lorraine, So sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother. When I look at all the pictures I see you in her and when I read the wonderful story about your Mother I know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. May the great memories you have of your precious gift called "Mother", give you strength and joy during this time of grief and sadness. 

You and your family are in my prayers.

Blessings to you and your family,
Meriel Jackson

Donna and wonderful family...

I had the pleasure of meeting Carol on two occasions. A sharp, current, and witty person. She seemed loving, and very proud of her family. 

God bless you Carol for a job well done here on earth. Please look over all of your amazing family and all of their friends that will sincerely miss you.

Blessings to all .

Purple butterfly painting

I finally saw Grandma Velke for the first time in 5 years and when I saw her I remember seeing her smile so big. I gave her the painting and she was so happy to see a purple butterfly painting, she was having a hard time remembering things but she remembered my painting and it made my heart so happy knowing she remembered the painting
