Happy Birthday Mom! I sure wish I could give you a beautiful card and cake and take you out for the best dinner! You are in my heart always every day, every step of my journey. I miss you more than words can describe. I know I will be with you and dad some day and look forward to being with you in eternity with Jesus. Please know how much I love you and care about you. Life is really not much fun or the same without you. The joy in my heart that only you gave me is gone. I try to carry on for Ryan and the boys. You would be so proud of Kevin and Kyle. They have turned out so well and remember so much about you.

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND BECAUSE I ONLY WRITE ON T HIS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND WHEN YOU WENT TO HEAVEN DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T CARRY YOU AND DAD IN MY HEART ALWAYS. 

YOUR LOVING DAUGHTER -
SUSAN

I MISS THE FUNNY THINGS YOU SAID AND YOUR CUTE NOSE :)

HI MOM, I HOPE YOU AND DAD ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH JESUS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY I WILL BE THERE AND WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.

THERE IS NOT A DAY I DON'T MISS YOU TERRIBLY. YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD MOM IN YOUR LATER YEARS, ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK. I MISS THAT. IT IS HARD TO BE HERE ALONE. I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE WITH ME, AND THAT AND JESUS ARE WHAT GETS ME THROUGH EACH DAY.

PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN IN ANY WAY. I AM SORRY I AM NOT CLOSER TO YOU AND DAD'S GRAVE. I WILL GET UP THERE THIS SUMMER WITH SOMETHING TO PUT ON EACH ONE.

THIS IS NOT GOODBYE UNTIL NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN MY HEART EVERY DAY AND EVERY MINUTE OF EACH DAY. 

I LOVE YOU MILLIE PEARL!

YOUR DEVOTED DAUGHTER ALWAYS,

Hi Mom, I am thinking of you today and the many memories we had together. I wish I had just one more day to tell you how much I miss you and love you. I wish I could pick up the phone and talk to you and tell you everything, but I know you are enjoying Heaven being in the presence of Jesus and Dad and all the others you love. Please remember there is not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I wish I could take you to Branches Church, and I wish you could meet Dave, but I know you will some day. I hope you see me typing this or at least know my thoughts about you. Tell Dad and Grandpa hi for me and I love them too. Also, Grandma and Aunt Helen and Aunt Mabel. You are with me every step of my day. I LOVE YOU, MILLIE PEARL!

Dear Mom, Happy 104th birthday. I miss you more today than ever, and I hope you are having a wonderful birthday in heaven with dad and your parents and sisters! 

My life will never be the same without you, but I look forward to the day that I will see you and dad again. Please tell everyone hello for me, and especially Jesus. I LOVE YOU MILLIE PEARL! XOXOX

Dear Mom, Not a day goes by without me thinking of you multiple times. You are still a very significant part of my life. I feel your presence around me and know you and Dad are having fun and you are in the presence of Jesus every day and your parents and sisters and brothers. I wish I could talk to you and tell you what is going on; however, I really think you probably know and are praying for all of us here on this earth. I take solace in knowing I will see you and Dad again and we can laugh and have our old times back. You were the best and know how much I love you and still love you. Tell Dad I miss him so muh and love him so much too. Thank you for being my parents! I LOVE YOU BOTH! You will always be in my heart and in my daily walk. Your only daughter and best friend. SUSAN ELAINE

Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you more than ever and miss you every single moment I hope you and dad are celebrating today.

Happy 100th Birthday, Mom! I miss you more each day, and I hope you are celebrating your 100th birthday in heaven with Dad. I love you both and look forward to the day we are together again in the arms of Jesus. I know you are alive and well and enjoying being with your loved ones in Heaven. I wish you could have celebrated your 100th with me, but I take peace in knowing you are no longer sick and happy again. There will never be another relationship like ours, and I savor the many memories and laughs we had. I LOVE YOU, MOM!

Dear Mom, I miss you more than ever 3 years and not an hour I don't think about you some way. Today I wished I could have just 5 minutes to tell you how much you meant and still mean to me. My heart aches to hear your voice and see you laugh. I know i will see you again and please stay in my heart and watch over me untilhat day. I love you Millie P. Your daughter Susie

Dear Mom, please tell Dad I love him and please know my life is so empty without you. I am surviving but there is not a moment that you are not with me. The only solace I have is knowing you are not suffering any more and reunited with those that went before you. I am looking forward to the day we will be together again. I love you with all my heart and I am so sorry for all your suffering on earth. I know you are well and happy again but I know you must miss me too. We will be together again! I LOVE YOU MILLIE P!

Dear Mom, Happy 97th birthday. I miss you and love you more than I can ever express in words. You were not only my mother, you were and still are my best girlfriend. I cherish the memories of the wonderful times we had together. Even after 19 months without you, I can still see your precious face and here you calling my name and hear the silly things you would say to make me laugh. Our relationship was like none other. I could tease you and you could tease me and we both knew it was because of the love and respect we had for each other.  You were always there for me, and I tried to always be there for you. I know that I disappointed you a few times in my life, but I hope that I made that up to you in your last few earthly years. I know you are waiting on me, and I hope I can be half the woman you were to make it to Heaven to be with you and Dad.

I am proud to call Mildred Pearl Long my mother and best friend. I was blessed with 2 fine parents. I take solace in knowing that my mom is reunited with my dad and in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I truly miss her witty, funny remarks, and I know she is healthy and happy again. She lived her life as a true Christian, and I look forward to the day I see her again.
