"Until we meet again..."
Happy 58th birthday mom!!!!! Even though it’s been almost 10 years since you’ve passed, I miss you everyday and it still hurts just as bad sometimes. I wish you could see how much haylei is like you! She misses you too so much. And Shawn is like the boys! I need your help with all of them!! It’s not fair but I’m blessed beyond what I could ever imagine having that opportunity to get so close to you.
Until we meet again...

Can't believe is been almost 10 years. I still laugh at the crazy things we use to do. You always had my back. Love you sis.
Happy 57th birthday...I love and miss you. Haylei would have loved all those car rides you made us go on-she would def go willingly! Shawn is a zach mini me now so you’d have... fun with him (to say the least)!!
Life’s simply unfair and too short...until we meet again

Hey Nan, I love you sooo much and I miss you very much. I can’t stop thinking about you.❤️♾ I cant wait to see you again in heaven. It won’t be to long love you
I love you and miss you..though this seems pointless to leave a message..I get a sense of peace some how... I just know some how I will see you again...life's over in a blink of An eye compared to eternity, right?
53....wow....almost 5 years since you have past. I hate to say, we are not as close as we all use to be... you were ultimately the glue to the family, and since you've been...away...we cant pick the pieces up. no matter what, i will be there for YOU. im....LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!! I love you more than life itself.
to the wonderfull loving aunt that i had we will miss you and love you and you will be in are hearts forever
Happy 52nd birthday! I cant thank God enough for blessing us with you... before he wanted you back home. We ALL love and miss you terribly..
I guess leaving these messages time after time may seem weird...i write like your checking your email when I know alls i have to do to see you again is believe....and if and until then, your in our thoughts EVERY day and night. Haylei still cries and prays for you everynight. you be that fierce angel you said youd be-ill see you VERY soon...meet me at the gates!!!!!!
I cant believe its been 3 years... there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you..you were such an important part of all of our lives, everything is so different now that your gone. We all love you.
I haven't looked through your pictures and not cried since you past...but tonight was different- I was looking at all the good times we have had together, as a family, and I couldnt help but smile and laugh...the pictures of you, zach and haylei throwing grass at each other just reminded me of so many good times and how much fun we all had and how close we all were...Life may not be what we wanted it to be, and who knows what youd think of us now... but if theres anyway you can see this, we all love you so much and I am very much looking forward to the day I can see you again.
You'll always be apart of me- yes- itis an AMAZING thing!

I cant stop thinking about you....i love you always. Im so blessed to have had you in my life...and your memories will last forever (as long as I can help it). You have helped me become the person I am today...See you real soon mom-
Hey...time seems to fly on by and I wonder how it would be different...if only you were around.. I know for sure i would be more sane than I am now! I miss you. Good thing is, life is short and I will see you soon. We all will see you soon, and we look forward to it. God had a bigger plan for you than we could imagine, I hope he is enjoying your presence as much as we did. While we are waiting to be with you again...I hope we make you proud of us. I love you.

Im just sitting here at work....I miss you so much. Everything seemed clear and ok when you were here... your very loved and always always will be remembered. I cant wait till I meet you at the gates--
Debbie was a strong woman that cared a lot about others. I know she helped me as a teen when no one else would. She will be missed but never forgotten...I can see her in her grandkids every day.
My favorite aunt that didnt put up with anyones bs i miss her so much i have so many important things coming up in my life this year like graduating and i just hope shes proud of me and that she'll be looking down on me that day i love you Aunt Debbie keep watching over all of us ill see you again one day<3
Hope that you are enjoying your birthday in Heaven :) Smile down at us and know that you are missed every day.
The strongest woman I have ever met, who showed me what unconditional love is. Mom always tried to give me a backbone and always had my back no matter what happened. I could talk to her about anything and she always knew what to say.there will be no one else like her. Shes one of a kind and touched so many people in her life..I miss her so much and looking forward to see her soon. John13:7

That Christmas was literally right before she found out she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.. she really did not feel good, however, she put on a big smile, cooked dinner, watched us unwrap all those presents she bought for all of us, and made it a great last Christmas memory. She was and always will be the strongest woman I ever met- hands down.
