It's been 6 years since you departed this temporary earthly home and entered into your eternal heavenly one. Still missing you and thinking about you all the time. Sometimes I think of you with sadness, but then I remember all the years of beautiful memories and experiences that we had and I thank God for those years.
Love you always, Mama. Continue to rest in peace ♥️

Happy Birthday, Mama
Well, it's been three years since your home going and seven since Daddy's, and I still miss you both ever so much. However, the sadness and pain has lessened when I think of you all. I focus on the good times and all of the beautiful memories. I can't tell you how many times I have said to people " if Mama were here, she'd throw her hands on her hips, poke out her lips, fill her jaws with air, and say 'Now listen here'." Then you'd proceed to give them a good blessing out.
We're at the family reunion now, and everyone is reminiscing on how Daddy went around beating on everyone's hotel door with his cane at 6 or 7 every morning telling them to "get on up now, everybody should be up and on the move."
We laugh about all of those memories now, and that keeps you all forever in our hearts.
Still missing and loving you so much. Continue your peaceful rest in the arms of Jesus.

Happy Birthday Mama,
 It's been 2 years since your passing, and six since daddy's and I still miss you all so much. My consolation comes from knowing that you are at rest. I love you both with all my heart.

Still missing you so very much during this year of "firsts" without you (Thanksgiving, Christmas, mother's day, anniversary of your passing, your birthday, etc. ), but finding comfort in knowing that you are at peace in your heavenly home and together again with daddy. Not a day goes by without memories of you. Love you and Daddy so much.

Dear Ms. Carrie,

Since you were called home, I have missed you.

Your kindness and spirit are what I most remember about you. Spending time with you was always a joy; always made me feel better.

I will forever remember you...forever miss you.

My loss is heaven's gain...with MSG Ruggs.

God Bless...

Mama, it's been eight months since you decided that your time with us had come you an end. God was ready, and so were you. You had been preparing us for this for several months, but I guess we did not want to hear and accept what you were saying. We sit around and talk about it now--in laughter and tears--how you always were there to talk to and to solve our problems in your often humorous ways. You are still doing that. Your two long distance grand youngings, as you called them, are back home. They said you are working your thing from heaven. Mama, you will always be with us. We love and miss you and Daddy so much.

Ditto to my brother's story. When my mama said something, she meant it. She made no exceptions.  You really knew she was dead serious when she blew those jaws up and rolled her eyes and said "all right now; I ain't playing with y'all." As my daughter often said of her grandmama, she could accomplish all and solve all things with that special look of hers. She said " my grandmama is a jack of all trades."
