April is a month of so many things, your birthday and anniversary and then Jonah's birthday.  I know you can see him and how great he is.  I know you have been there to give Tay comfort through this time of change and heartbreak.  I know you are there to help guide Kirby as you always have.  Her life is changing fast, she will go through more changes in her life coming soon.  I know that spirit will stay close at guard.  We love and miss you much. 

Happy Birthday Jeanie!  I sure hope that you and my mom have found each other up there and are talking each other's ear off.  :)

In the last few days you have been in my heart, mind and soul. Between Mother's Day and the day you went to the greater unknown. I miss so many things about our lives together. First you were an Awesome mother then you became my Grams then later Taylor, Eric and Jonah came along not for one second did you ever not share with each of us that you didn't loved us. We all knew that you did very much.  I miss seeing you, hearing your sweet voice, but the one thing I miss the most is two things telling me that you Love me and calling me KirbyKay. You were so proud of me and everything I had done. Our life together was full of a few road trips I looked over several times on my way back from Dallas to wish you were there. I miss watching the Cosby show with and making me stay up late with you for just to be in each other presents. Again you became a Grams, Mother and Friend to so many but there is not a day that does not go by that I do not think about you. I hope you are with me forever in my heart, mind and soul. I love you....because we are still best friends!!! You told me that Four days before you left us forever that we always be best friends. I will always believe that in my heart. I miss taking care of you....I love you Grams~Love KirbyKay

Grams, you were my mom before you were a Grams.  I miss going shopping with you, running to sonic, cookin cornbread for you.  I miss trying to plan a meal you could eat, and having you over to hang out on the back patio.  You are missed, and I hope that your day, which are now not days at all but eternity, is just the best Mother's Day you have ever had.  Love Nae 

Yesterday I was in Church and there was a couple that shared the same anniversay as you and Joe Joe they where celebrating 50 yrs and you got to celebrate 40 with Joe Joe yesterday.n It brought tears to my eyes!!!  I am sad everyday that you had to leave us, but it makes me smile that you got to be with the love of your life on your special day. I am sure you both are having a great time together. Then today is your birthday and to honor you here on earth, I am going to eat at your favorite place. Red Lobster to enjoy shrimp, it will not be the same without you there to have a great talk that we always had. You were and always will be my best friend and God knows and you do to how much I think of you. Happy Birthday Grams....I love you.

Well, I made it through my first Thanksgiving and Christmas without mom and dad.  I am sure that I am lucky to have had parents who did so much for me, and I had them longer than a lot of people had parents, but I wish they had been here to know my son, he needs to know my side of family as well as his dads.  I do wish things were different, but they are not, and some days I do okay accepting that and others I don't.  The more times goes by the less family I have, the more I wonder what God intends for me going forward.  Once daddy was gone, I lived to help mom, I guess I need to find my purpose again. 

I miss you guys more than you know, and yes I know your around me all the time, and it does help, but it is still hard.

On May 26th it will be a day of full of happiness, joy, and love for I will have finished something that my "Grams" supported me from day one.  I will graduate with my Associate Degree in Mortuary Science. A week before she died I passed my graduation exam and got the chance to call her on the phone and tell her that I passed. She had so much joy and excitement in her voice. Little did I know she then told all the nursing staff at Larned health care, so that way they could tell me congratulations. She told me when I got home and was sitting on the side of her bed that she was so proud of me.

On May 26th it will be hard because she will not be there to tell me I am so proud of you. I will not see her smile, but I know she will be smiling up there in Heaven with my JoeJoe. So this is a "New Chapter" in my life that I would like to decidate it to my one and only "GRAMS"

Thank you for always supporting my dreams and goals...It has been all worth it because I got a chance to build a wonderful relationship with you that I will always remember. I miss you very much!!!

Love Always

KirbyKay

She was only five when she came to me , as shy as a little colt.We had so many changes to make and she and my two little girls must have felt as tho they had stepped into a new and different world. Of course my two was so glad to be with me, they were really good for her, she had been the only child.and was not aware of all the things she could do. Chores for one thing, seem to amaze her.Along with everything else they had to get use to a baby-sitter, I worked in our clothing store, and their Dad was on the out side routes.One day I drove home to see about them and I took them all three good hot dough-nuts. I gave each one and said"Now don't eat the hole". My two, knowing mother's ways laughed and soon devoured their dough-nut. But not Jeanie, she ate around the hole, tapped on my shoulder and said, "Here Mommy, She had called me Mommy for the first time! I popped hole in my mouth and she at last got the joke. She threw her arms around me and all day I felt like a millionaire! I was, I had the love and respect of three beautiful little girls. When our three little ones came along, she was the one I could count on. Did we have our troubles? Don't all mothers and daughters? Good-bye, Princess life is short and I will see you soon.Your Loving Step-mother

Your loving Mother

On March 6, 1985 was a new beginning for Jeanie Mcfalls she became a Grandma for the very first time. Which as I have been told by her and many others she did not want to be called Grandma so  she became "Grams" . I was her "KirbyKay" our love, friendship, and caring for one another started on that day of my arrival and will continue in my heart always. Grams was the most kind, loving, gentle, full of wisdom kind of woman. I have so many wonderful memories of her. I would have to say the best memory that she gave me was sitting at the kitchen table watching her roll her hair and drinking ice tea was the best talks of my life. Even as I got older we still had those talks, which I will miss very much.

As time went by she still always was a huge part of my life. As I have thought about our time this week I believe that I was a huge part in my Grams life as well. Like the time her father got very ill in 2002 I went with her to Tennessee. I made sure she was safe as possble like she always did for me.

My Grams was a very Pretty woman with heart of Gold. I will miss her everyday of my life, but I know that she is with my Joe Joe enjoying an amazing time together. I am sad today and the next days to come. I know no matter what she always be with me in my heart, and watching over me to keep me safe. I feel very blessed to have been her Granddaughter and she will always and forever be my Grams

I love you forever

Your "KirbyKay"------I will try not to step into any "Cow Patties"----

P.S. Grams you had the soft/gentle hands in the World

My Mommy, someone to listen to you & really hear you.

My Mommy, someone who loved you with all her heart & soul.

My Mommy, someone who would let you make mistakes so you could learn from them.

My Mommy, someone who treated you with respect & only offered advice when you ask for it.

My Mommy, someone strong in her faith & belived in heavens above.

My Mommy, my friend, my mentor & my shoulder to cry on,

My Mommy, you will be missed but I'm forever grateful I got to call you My Mommy

Your first born...Melissa (Missy)

My mom was an amazing women.  She was very loyal, honest, funny, supportive and thankful for her family and life.  I remember her being very sweet and loving as I grew up.  She taught me so much, loved me so much.  She loved my sister, and adored my father each and every day.  I know she is happy to be with my dad again, and forever this time, not as if they ever were really apart. 

I will miss my mother for many reasons, she was my friend, supporter, loved to hang out with my husband and child.  We did a lot of things together, shopping, eating, watching our soaps!  She took care of me when I was sick and stood in my place at home as I finished my degree. I will miss our talks on my back patio the most, because they were real, deep and memorable.  My mother was a determined women, but gone too soon.

I am happy for you mom, sad for me, but feel you here with me already, which is a blessing to my heart.

Love always, your stubborn, hard-headed, loyal daughter

The moment I picked Rosetta Jean Harvey McFalls in my arms at the Hospital in Sweetwater, Tennessee, she bonded with her Daddy.  I have a birthday picture frame with our picture in with her voice saying," In my heart I will always be Daddy's Little Girl, Happy birthday Daddy."   The last time she visited in 2009, we studied a little booklet I have written "BASIC TRAINING."  We shared how the First Church started.  She shared with me, that she repented of her sins, baptized in water in the name of JESUS CHRIST, received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues as recored in the history of Acts.  I shall always treasure this last visit and this testimony. Each morning she came through the hall and I could see her while sitting at my kitchen table, I would say, "Here comes Jeanie." She would give me a big smile when sitting.  It was great pleasure to fix her juice and tea in ice we got at Sonic.  I would drive her to the Beauty Shop to get her hair and finger nails done.  When she left me in December 2009 I thought I am hugging you for the last time.  I could write a large book of the many good times we have had together and many things we have shared. Just wanted each of you reading this that Jeanie was Daddy's Little Girl. I have her voice on tape and will get to hear it often, yet will miss her being with me on vacation visits, and hearing her phone calls each Saturday and Sunday.
