Hey My Beautiful Sister, I cant believe its been 5 years since we lost you. Seems like just yesterday we were hanging out watching Mike and Molly. I think of you all the time and look forward to the day we are together again. Jaye has been a life saver for me. I dont think i would have handled losing you without her. I love you Love Pammy

March 14, 2022

Well as I set in my bedroom with your ashes that I talk to fairly often wishing I could honor your wishes about taking your ashes and scattering them around where Thomas physical body was laid to rest , it literally took me 5 years to get them from Glenn but your here with me now & we hang out all the time . I miss you all so much but as you know I act as though nothing ever bothers me, there's enough bad feeling and sadness all around us no one needs to hear mine . I love you please give Thomas & Dad & Momma and Charlie a hug & kiss and tell them I said Thanks a lot for leaving me behind in this messed up world & I 'll be seeing them soon enough hopefully. I miss you Sis, Always & Forever your littlest Sis, Jaye

Hey Sweet Girl, It's been five years this month since you left us. Things in this world are really crazy right now. It's like the entire earth is shut down. I'm not sure if it's a God thing or if it's a man thing but it is killing thousands of people all over the world. No country is unaffected by this terrible virus. Sis my life well so much has changed for me if there's ever been a time when I need you the most it is now. I'm sick and at first, I thought God is answering my prayers and soon I will be with you cause no way and i getting treatment or anything no alone like I am now that Joe's well gone. I don't know, now I'm afraid of dying. can't imagine how you felt but you knew you were going to be with Thomas so maybe you weren't scared. I'm unsure about what I believe happens when we die. I just know I'm so tired and so lonely and my life's been this way for years. I miss you so much you always believed in me and you knew how much I loved Joe how bad it would be for me when you died and when Joe left me cause we both knew he would. You knew me better than anyone in life. Although Jayes getting there and I worry about her Nina hurts her so badly. I would never have believed Niina would turn out to be a bad daughter or a bad mom but she is doing and saying things that hurt her mom and her kids. Its as if she has no empathy like Joe. Hurts my heart to see her my Nina Chick like this. I pray this is just a phase and she becomes the person she used to be before she went to jail. I Love You Sweet Girl and look forward to seeing you again.And yes I remember those bonnets we used to have to wear at eastern time

March 12, 2020

Hey Sis, It really doesn't feel like 5 years have passed, I miss you so much. If only but that doesn't help. I pray you are with our family Thomas and all the ones we have loved and lost. My life is a complete mess I wish We could talk about it. I know what you would say (Pammy you will figure it out ). I'm trying but With out Joe or anyone to help I'm really limited on what I myself can do. When ever I miss yo I look into my HEART and there you are. Just as you told me to. I LOVE YOU SIS. Love Pammy

November 28, 2019

Hey Sis, Well another year has passed and this one has been a really rough one. So often I want to turn to you for comfort and a friend to talk to. I miss you and our talks sis. I'm lost without you. Finally, after 17 years Joe and I split up completely and I'm really having a hard time. I haven't seen Dave in almost a year. Jaye has her hands full and all the stress she needs. I so alone and tired of this struggle. I really want to be with you sis. Yesterday I was reading all you letters and cards you have sent me and it took me back to when IO got them. You were the best and so brave. I need to be brave and strong and I'm really trying but people really don't understand when I say I'm alone. One day we will be together again sis. I miss you and when I do that I just look in my heart and there you are . LOVE ME

September 15, 2019

Hey Sweet Girl, It's Sept 14th. 2019. In 13 days Joe and I will have been Married Sixteen Years. Wow , so much time yet so very little of it actually spent together. I imagine this will be what I talk about right now. I need my best friend. You are always the one I want to call as I reach for the phone cause you get me above all else you know me!! I feel like an Island alone in this life as I have for many years except for our time together. You always believed in me sis even when Joe didn't. Been waiting on that man for eight years settling for far less than I ever should have. Sis his treatment of me has become appalling and is affecting my love in a negative way. God I so wish you were here. It's not physical like before but he is breaking me down. Heres a surprise I got a msg from a boy in high school asking me out to dinner. There's so much more to the story but I was scared and didn't reply quick enough and missed out on the first date since 2002. Didn't know him very well but I saw pics and in them he was smiling a lot something I truly hadn't done in a long time so I starting thinking about him a lot and Dam I can't get him off my mind but he already has someone so you snooze you lose. I know exactly what you would be saying to me sis about all this. Praying to see you one day in the future. P.S. I know you remember the Winks from Rockport-his name is John Wink. When You Miss Me Just Look In Your Heart And I'll Be Right There

August 3, 2019

Hey Sis, Sitting here looking at your pictures and thinking about you about us. God, I miss you. A friend of mine lost his son last week and I couldn't stop thinking about how much you suffered when you lost Thomas. I won't ever forget Sis, not you, not Thomas, not Julia, not Mom, not Dad, Not Charlie. You all are always on my mind. But you well I really need you right now, your confidence in me and my ability to get thru bad times. It really used to irritate me cause you would always say (You'll think of something Pammy ) and I couldn't imagine what that would be but things worked out. I still need my big sister especially now when my heart is breaking and I'm so sad. I miss your smile, your hugs, your Love. I miss you so much it literally hurts in my heart. Till we see each other again, for now, I just look in my heart and there you are . Love You Sis

June 1, 2019

Hey Sis, sitting here about to leave for work just a note to say you are so missed and I do what you always told me. When I miss you I just look in my heart and there you are Love Me

March 11, 2019

Aunt Lisa it’s been 4 years since you left this temporary earth & gained your angel wings. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you or find myself bringing you up in a conversation. You left behind so many memories of smiling happy times. I have been in touch with Trey’s mom & Trey which makes me happy remembering the good days of the past when I need something to smile about. I always make it clear to talk to my children about you as much as possible to keep your spirit alive so they don’t grow up & forget about you. I love going through old pictures of you,killer,mom & grandpa somedays and being reminded of how much light you brought to so many people on my hard days. I love you so much & miss you even more! Until we meet again in heaven, fly high and continue to look down on us & keep us safe. Love you more than all the stars in the sky beautiful angel.
Your Niece, Nina Leigh ♥️

December 29, 2018

Aunt Lisa it’s almost A New Year & I still can’t believe your not here with us anymore! When I left for 30 months & you were here in your home & I talked to you on the phone that 4th of a July I never imagined in a million years that when I came home you would no longer be here for me to see, come to your home & visit or tell you I love you! So much changed after you left this earth, not a single day goes by that I don’t think of you or have a funny memory pop up in my head of you. I love you so much & miss you even more!! You might have physically been gone off this earth for 3 years & 9 months but you are forever with me daily & I know your not hurting anymore and finally happy seeing your baby boy again! I love you so much Aunt Lisa!

December 23, 2018

Aunt Lisa it’s 2 days until Christmas and it’s been a really hard year! Not a single day goes by that I don’t think of you. Every single time I pass by your home when I’m either leaving home or coming back in the neighborhood my heart misses you even more. So much has changed since you left this earth & I find myself some days going through old pictures of you & smiling because you were truly one of a kind soul. You were so brave,carefree,outspoken & full of love! Trey is so grown up you would be so proud of your grandson he reminds me so much of Thomas just looking at him. I love you so much & miss you even more! Tell grandma,grandpa,Thomas, grandpa Charlie & my very much missed Step father I love them & miss them so much. I love you aunt Lisa & promise you my children will forever remember you & what a beautiful soul you were. Miss you so much! Merry Christmas beautiful Angel! Love you,Nina Leigh

December 22, 2018

Christmas is almost here, I sit here thinking about you with tears in my eyes sis. It still hurts so bad, My life was forever changed the day you left us. I hope your with Thomas again and your happy at Christmas again. I know they were really hard for you after he Died and mine are now. I Love You and will be thinking of you every minute this holiday. Tell Mom, Dad and Charlie and Espically Thomas I Love and Miss Them with all My Heart. Till we see each other again. Your Sis Pamela (Still Me) and yes I remember the Easter Bonnets.

August 25, 2018

Well Sis its Aug 25 2018. I just read the story Jaye wrote ,it is so beautiful just as you were. I miss you in my life, I really miss Jaye and Michael T. I can't get to see her an its breaking my heart. If only I could find someone to take me to her. I am sad without you and lonely without her. I pray things change soon. Till I see you again. Ready to be with my family as Jaye says (,without judgemen.) I'm so sorry out Brother harsn't been on here. In my heart and in my dreams. Love you Sis

December 10, 2017

Hey Sis Well it's Dec the 6th and it would have been Glenn and yours anniversary. I was going to get in touch with Glenn but I knew it would only make him more sad for me to acknowledge that day. He has met someone and at first it really freaked me out, Personally I thought it was way to soon but you once told me you wanted him to be happy and that he had been really great to you. I remember when he was mean and hurt your feelings all the time but you were right cause when you got sick he was there for you in every way and I know it was hard for him because he had to see you in all that pain and watch you suffer so dam much. I was there with you a lot and it hurt me in ways I never thought it would. To see you like that, being so dam brave and suffering so much for so long. I would have gladly gave my life for you to keep yours . You were such a special person with so much love in your heart for so many people. Since you left us I have struggled to find my place in this world my reason for being here, some small part of my life to make me smile or feel any happiness at all sis but I'm afraid that all left when you did. I know what you would say (Keep Trying Pammy) and so I am no matter how hard it is or how sad I feel I am still trying. I pray your there with Mom,Dad,Thomas,Jennifer,and Charlie or yes and Grandma Williams and all is like you thought it would be. I look forward to the day when I am once again with my sister-my best friend. I dream of you often and yes I still cry quite often when I think about you. I Miss You Sis.... UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN-I LOVE YOU

July 21, 2017

Hey Sis, It's Friday July 21st 2017. Sitting here thinking about you but them I'm always thinking about you. I've been hanging out with Jaye a lot these past few weeks. Shes really been there for me. It would make you happy to see us this close. I know it does my heart good cause I've been real sad and lonely with out you. There are times I want s very much to pick up the phone and call you. You were the only one I could talk to about anything. I miss hearing you call me Pammy. I'm really lost in this life without you. I dream about you and when I wake up I have tears in my eyes. One day we will be together again I promise. I live for that day. I love you Sister of Mine and I miss you with all my heart and sole. Love Your Sister Pammy.

May 12, 2017

For Elissa and Family,

You don't know us, but my friends and I have been on a journey for the past several months (one of us who shares your history, much much longer), pouring through family trees and documents, faded photos as well as more recent.

Its wonderful seeing the love you all share for each other here, and without ever having met, you've already touched our hearts.

Maybe one day, we'll be able to return the favor.

May you find comfort and peace.

Sincerely,

Lacey/Kristina, Jack, Kara, Jessica and Gwen

April 14, 2017

Well Sis its April 14th today, you've been gone a little over two years. It hardly seems possible but I know you are with Thomas and I'm trying to accept it. You know me stubborn as hell. I saw Glenn a few weeks ago and Nina Chick sees him every Sunday. He's doing ok we cried when I went to see him . I knew that would happen. I gotta say my life really seems empty without you . You have no ides how important you were to me. All I know is I hope and pray I see you again one day. I Love You and I miss You with all my HEART!!!

April 14, 2017

I miss you every day & always know your looking down on me smiling at how my life has became. I wasn't where you expected my life to be when you left this earth but I am where I want to be now and I wish you could still be here with me. I pass by your home everyday and always want to stop and just run inside and still expect to see you sitting in your bed only when I walk in nothing but emptiness. I miss you so much it hurts and I feel I hide that hurt well. But I know you have to be in a better place. I'll see you soon and until that day comes keep smiling down from above beautiful lady! I love you!!! Always & forever your neice

March 14, 2017

Well Sis it's been two whole years since you left us and I promise you I have truly tried to move forward and to be happy for you cause I know you are with Thomas and everyone you love but I still have a really rough time getting thru the days without my bestest friend. No one has ever been there for me or known me like you did. Nor cared and loved me like you. I always knew it would be this way if I lost you first just wish I was better at life without you. I never truly felt lonely till I lost you now I just feel adrift in life not sure why what or how I'm living just know I'm doing the best I can to do it without you. Every single day is just ass hard as the first one. I still dream you are here with me and I still wake up crying. When things happen in my life you are the first person I think of to talk to and to tell what ever it is to then I realize you are gone so I keep it to myself and know someday I will see you again and we can be as we used to be. My nest friend the part of me I can never get back till I see you again. I love you and you will always be in my heart. When you miss me just look into your heart and I'll be there. Love Pammy

October 4, 2016

Today is Oct 4th 2016 It's been a year and 8 months, wow where has time gone seems like yesterday we were sitting on your bed talking while you colored or made jewelry.. God I miss you sis you were the only one I was truly close to could always count on and I knew you loved me unconditionaly. I don't understand why God took you from us but I know you are where you wanted to be I just wish I was with you and it was all we thought it would be. I miss you till my heart hurts and I always will.

June 8, 2016

Hey Sis, Sitting here doing one of the things we used to enjoy together. I know you are looking down on me so you know. Its not nearly as fun and sometimes very sad without you. I can't believe you have been gone 15 months when it seems like just yesterday you were calling me Pammy or Sweet Girl. Life has lost it happy without you sis. I know you wanted me to try and really I am but it sucks and there's no joy since you left me. I miss you and hope to be with you soon walking those streets of gold holding your hand. I miss You Dearly

March 8, 2016

Well Sis it's March the 8th, I can't believe its been almost a year since I lost you. The empty place you left in my life is still empty and the pain well that will never change. I know in your letter you said never let anything come between me and Jaye and I'm sorry to say it has and there was nothing I could do to stop. I've lost you both now so the lose in my life is double. I can't put myself in a place where someone can hurt me as bad as she can. I know you will understand because it happened to you too. Losing her and the pain I felt when it happened affects me daily although I am sure she is fine with it and that hurts even more. I need you so badly in my life Sis, I tried to be with you but failed. One day I will be and all this pain in my heart and in my body will be over. You were the best friend and sister. There will never be anyone like you. I Love you and know your with Thomas and the rest of our family. Looking forward to seeing you again. Love your Sis Pammy

December 24, 2015

It's Christmas eve 2015 sis-ten months since you left us. So many times I want to pick up the phone and call you tell you I love you and how much I miss you. How sad I am without you and the big hole in my life without you there. Our first Christmas without you I miss you especiaily on this day and every day since. I know that your in Heaven with Thomas and all those we've loved and lost. I hope your smiling up there . I love you will be seeing you again one day sis. Love Pammy

November 21, 2015

Well it's Nov 21st sis almost you're birthday. I miss you so so much. I finally went an got a mamagram you were always telling me I needed to get one. I got a letter in the mail from them and they found something si I have to have more tests done on your birthday the 24th. Now what do I do? Joe as usual doesn't even acknowledge it's happening either way so no comfort there what so ever. Jaye been great about it but I need you. You were my person sis. The one person in the whole world that no matter what tried to make me feel better and usually could but your gone now so here I sit in my one room world scared confused and needing you so very badly. I Love you. When you want to see me just look in your heart thats where I'll be always!!

September 20, 2015

Hey Sis, Its Sept 19th and I am so very lonely without you. I never realized 99% of the love I had in my life came from you, but now that your gone I really miss the love a lot. I try to carry on your contagious smile. The same one that would light up a room the minute you walked in. I try to laugh and not take everything so seriously but its hard without you here to remind me of the brighter things in life. I do love harder and I've always forgiven fast but without you to love its an empty emotion.I am thankful for waking up every day and especally thankful for the 54 years I had with you.I know you didn't want me to be sad and to set you free because you are with Thomas, Mom, Dad and Charlie but I can't help it sadness seems to be my closest friend these days. I wish I could be more like you were then maybe others would love and need me like I do you but I am who I am. The most important promise I can try and keep despite all my failures and losses is to make you proud of me and my life. I haven't given up despite how bad I feel and how hard my life is without you. With all that am or ever will be I Love You and Miss Every Day of My Life. I look forward to being with my bestest friend and the one that truely Loved me Again. You Sis Pammy

September 9, 2015

September 4, 2015

Today is Sept the 4th its been almost 6 months since you left us sis, s few days ago i was going thru some papers and came across the last letter you wrote me. No one has ever known me like you did and no one ever will. I'm so alone without you I'm trying sis to do and be what you asked of me but its much harder than I ever thought it would be. You were my family my connection my life. I try to stay connected to the rest of the family but its not going very well so I'll just keep writing you missing you and knowing one day we will be together again. My heart hurts without you here. I Love you my beautiful sister. Love Pammy

August 15, 2015

Woke up this morning in tears sis, I had been dreaming about you and Dad, I feel so alone without you. You were my best friend the one person in my life that was always there for me, to listen, to love me. Even when your life was so hard for you and in all your pain YOU were always there for me. I miss you my best friend my confidant my sister. I think about you all the time and one day I will see you again. Lonely without you!!!

It feels like just yesterday we spoke and i got to hold you and tell you how much I loved you. I think about you all the time, my heart is so lonely without you. I miss you sis, my life feels so empty without you , without hearing your voice and hearing you call me babygirl. Always in my heart everyday forever!! I MISS YOU....,,

July 13, 2015

Hey Sis woke up this morning with you on my mind, your pictures and things are all around me. My heart still feels as if it will break when I think of you. And then as I read some of our letters and the things you wrote to me I smile. I'm trying sweet girl to get it together I'm just so lonely without you. Till I see you again. I LOVE YOU!!

June 16, 2015

I love you and miss you every min of every day. I don't cry as much as I did but I still do. My heart is full of holes without you. Love You Sis Till We Meet Again

May 16, 2015

To know what I have, and know what I can give to others who are not as fortunate.
I promise to grieve that absence of your physical being for only a moment.
And then I promise to set you free.
I promise to never give up on others,
even when I'm ready to give up on myself.
I promise to be a friend and a mentor as you were.
To be a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a set of ears to simply listen..
I promise to let you hear every giggle and feel every hug.
To know every heartache,
and let you be there for every triumphant moment...
The most important promise I can make,
despite all my failures and all my losses.
A promise that carries the equivalence of all the rest combined is this...
I promise to make you proud.
With all that I am, I LOVE YOU

May 16, 2015

Every day i miss my sister there is a hole in my life that cannot be filled. I miss her sweet voice her hugs and her great sense of humor. I miss my daily phone calls to her she was such a big part of my life every day. I am lonely without her my sister my best friend

April 29, 2015

Today makes 49 days since you left us and went to be with Thomas,Dad & Momma.I pray everyday for our other sister Pam to find some kind of peace with your passing,she as we talked about is handling it worse than anyone else in our family.I believe that your as happy now as you were when our Thomas was alive and you were with him and Jennifer that last Christmas and that is what gets me through losing my big Sister and my Sons second Momma.I want to Thank you for leaving me and Michael your memory box since I know that was your most precious possessions of Thomas and Michael as well as your thoughts & feelings at some of the difficult times of your life.I finally went through it this morning and wanted to write you this note telling you Thank You and yes I will take care of all the things we talked about ,it will take some time but I promise I will as I told you before.We love you all and miss you every minute of every day.Until I see you again, all our love .Jaye and Michael T.

April 24, 2015

I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
your face when you were here,
I endure the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as I have those memories
we will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak anymore
my voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep
I have you in my prayer.
You told me not to cry but to remember all the crazy times
we had together,
I'm trying Sis truly I am but I'm lost without you.
My sister, my best friend, Till I see you again Lisa

April 24, 2015

Elissa my role model I always tried to keep up with your free spirit personality and the way that you surrounded your son with your heart.I know that you are not walking but floating with such joy in your heart, hand in hand with our sweet Thomas.With the grace of God I will be able to hold his other hand and see that beautiful smile that he took with him when he joined his wife, Jennifer on that dark day that broke our hearts.I will see you and Thomas in every bunch of blue balloons and every fluffy white cloud,I remember that you would say he is just beyond that cloud Jaye the balloons just have to make it a little further.Until I can walk those streets of gold with my crazy Sister and my crazy nephew,I just wanted to tell you Thank You for making me the wonderful, over nurturing type of parent that my children say that I' am....Trying desperately to keep my emotions in check,but you didn't make it easy to do,Michael & I miss you fiercely wishing I was there. Heart & Soul--xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo, Your little Sister, Jaye

Me and My Sis at my home in Madisonville- so happy

So True "Only The Good Die Young"

March 18, 2018

My life & Elissa's life were joined together in 1979 & 1980 when I got pregnant at age 15 & Elissa took me in via request by my Dad & stepmother as my sister Elissa lived in Florida far away from all of the guilt ridden stares of whoever I was shuffled far away from and I was so thankful to be with my eldest Sister in her home with her sweet family & no judging stares and or nasty whispered comments about my condition. We became more than family because families guilt one another either out loud or through many silent actions. Elissa & I were so far apart in age but more alike in our lives & personalities than anyone else in our family. I do miss you Sis I could always count on the truth from you and the ability to make you laugh till we cried. Michael misses his Aunt Passy more than words can express, it was like his other Mom had left him the day you went to be with Thomas & Jenn , Mom and Dad & as you called him Daddy Charlie . It's the saddest time of the year March, April & May for Michael T & I . I will get through it time after time until I can be with my family & our Heavenly Father..I truly understand being so tired of all of the obstacles and drama of everyday life just to finally reach the end of the day...Elissa you were bigger than life & brighter than the Sun

The Two Of Us

April 28, 2015

Growing up together Lisa and I were dressed alike had our hair cut the same as if we were twins when in fact we are a year and a half apart. That didn't seen to matter we were as close as twins our entire life. She was my best friend, my confident, the one person who always was there for me, to talk to to hand with. Anytime I needed anything or anyone she was there for me and I for her. Now that she's gone I am lost in life. I still talk to her and I know she can hear me and after all these years i'm pretty sure what she would say. I miss hearing her voice and hearing her call me sweet girl. I always will but I have our memories that I will cherrish forever. Lisa was the most loving person always there for everyone. I'm grateful for the time we had together . She was the best person i've ever known or ever will. Til I see you again sis.
