Another year gone without you slowly approaches. I sure do miss all our private talks and will forever carry them with me. You were always there when I didn't want to listen to all your advise and wish today that I really listened. We give our children life so that they one day they will continue in this cycle of life on their own. Mama, I miss you and I wish you were still with us here. God has another grand ANGEL in His army in Heaven. EEEYYYYY HANDS UP DANCING FOR YOU. I LOVE YOU

Hey Mom,

Happy Heavenly Birthday! I remember how much I use to love making you feel so incredibly special on your birthday. Today you would have been 80 years old. I will always celebrate you still every Nov 10th as if you were still here on earth. We didn’t have much in life, but you gave me love and confidence. You can never put a monetary value on that. That’s priceless. I am forever grateful for all that you taught me and often times making me learn the hard way because that’s how you truly learn. Your spirit lives on down here. Until my dying day I will always keep you alive. Hope your dancing in the sky today. Love and miss you so dearly. Love, Tiffany

Mama,
There isn't a day that goes by that you aren't with me. I went to a Gypsy festival with the kids the other day and felt you right beside me. Always on the move, like a Gypsy. Never a dull moment when you were around and always the life of everything you did. I miss you everyday but I carry you in my heart and soul wherever I go. I love and miss you and will see you soon. Love always and forever Crystal

Hi mom, well today would have been your 75th Birthday. And we all know I️ would have planned something fun for us to do as a family today. No matter which birthday you had you always wanted to celebrate with the family. You would be up by now so excited to see the crazy plans I️ had made for the day to show you how special you are to me. You’ve been gone 5 years now and when your birthday comes around I️ tend to be sad most of the day now. So much has changed in life and I️ wish I️ could hold your hand and tell I️t all to you. You are incredibly missed by so many people. But by now you will know you have Aunt Shirley with you now. So celebrate your earth years with her. Just know I️ am ok and in good hands now. We may not be able to hug, but I️ can surely feel your presence today. I️ love you mom.

On Angel's Wings by Cralin Hardy

On Angel's Wings you were taken away,
But in my heart you will always stay.
I will hear your whisper in the tallest trees,
Feel your love in the gentle breeze.
And when I find I miss you the most,
Inside our beautiful memories
I will hold you close.
You are an angel watching over me
with the comfort and blessings you bring,
You embrace my heart and hold it close,
Forever on Angel's Wings

I miss you Aunt Leona...you remain always in my heart ....

Hi Mom,
Been thinking about you a lot. There seems to be real strong connection right now with you. Some days this is all still very hard that I don't get your wonderful hugs you would give me. I always think of it when I am going out the door and you would say "Can I have a hug". And I don't hear those words anymore. Some days I just pause at the door just wanting to hear those words again. I have been traveling the world mom. Just like I promised you I would continue to do. But I am sure you know this and are seeing the world right my my side. Just wanted to say I love and miss you. Muah!

I had a moment today where I went to say goodbye to a loved one, instead I said, "so long". It made me smile because it was Leona that told me many years ago that "it's not goodbye, I'll see you again soon". That's right, Leona... So long, I miss you and I know we will see each other again soon.

Today I could still feel you close. Inspirations of you popped in all day. I cried and I have laughed many times since you went home. You always taught me life's moments is what you make of it. And always allow yourself to feel. But to never let your feelings make your life. I love you and miss you terribly. I carry you in my heart.

I laughed and cried while watching this beautiful tribute to Leona. I could see her telling a story, enjoying her grand kids, loving her daughters or exuding her gratitude to her life and her God. I know Leona was a believer and there for I also know she is being taken care of. I will miss her very much though. Thank you Leona for coming into my life and loving me as your own. All my love!

Mama said one day when the sky looks this beautiful just at a moment like this, that it would be her smiling down on me. Well there were a lot of days like that day since she has been gone and everytime the breeze would blow just right and I could smell her scent across my nose and feel the touch of her embrace surrounding me. I love and miss you Mama with all my heart.
