April 16

Happy Birthday today! Your Charley boy is a little under the weather as I'm sure you are well aware.
I thought about you all day long and of all the times I felt bad, you were the first and last nurse on call every day as I was growing up
With you being gone and me being the same big baby. Kat has stepped in with superiority and warmth and love. Awwwww, you know what I mean Mom
Happy Birthday Again Mom You are Always in my heart!! I Love You!!!!

Happy Birthday

April 16

Today is April 16, 2023 and it is your Birthday in Heaven. You would be 97 today. Happy Birthday precious Momma. My thoughts are about you, as they are every day. A simple song... the hummingbirds on our feeder... So many things remind me of you and your smile. My thoughts today are a special Birthday prayer for you and also request of you to especially watch over Charley and Kat, during this difficult time. You have taught us to be strong and for that we are grateful. I love and miss you, Momma.

April 16, 2022

It is April 16, 2022. Happy Birthday Momma!! I love and miss you - I am recalling this memory, since tomorrow will be Easter.
On Sundays, I remember how you would get Charley and me all dressed up... take us to church to worship and sing... and sometimes we would go to lunch at the cafeteria, after church.
On Easter, you would take us to Cahoon Park (after church) and you would take pictures of us, around the fish pond there. One Easter you warned Charley NOT to fall into the pond, as he walked around the edge - and just as he said, "Ok, Mom"... SPLASH!! - He fell all-the-way in!! When he stood up, he still had his hat on!! Wow - we all got such a great laugh out of that!! You spent so many hours helping us learn to laugh and sing. You often said, "You cannot be angry when you are singing". We have such wonderful memories of you, spending time with us, Momma. Thank you for your love and guidance, even now. You are in my heart and my thoughts every day. Happy Easter in heaven, Momma. I love you Bushels!

April 16, 2022

Happy Birthday Mom! I know you would have been ''39'' again and really did not like having birthdays, but I sure am glad the good Lord put you here!! I Love and Miss You!

January 3, 2022

Precious Momma,
Today, this year, on the 11th anniversary of your passing... I am praying that you are dancing and singing in heaven, with my beloved husband Tom - together - watching over us, here on earth. I could surely use one of your wonderful hugs right now, Mom. It's been a difficult day, today- without your encouragement and the warmth of your smile. I love and miss you Momma - every day.

January 3, 2022

Hi once again Mom D
I think of you often and see the marks of love, guidance, knowledge., strength, and good sense that you left in your "kids" still to this day. Oh yes and that great sense of humor. They were very blessed to have you for their Mom as tough as things were sometimes in your lives together. Thank you for passing on your strengths and kindness they continue to instill in their families. It shows everyday the love and respect that your son has for me
Thank you Love your DIL Kat

Lou Ann, Tom and Family...thinking of you today on Norma's 95th birthday. We never stop missing our parents and know that you have fond memories.

January 3, 2021

Hi Mom
Thinking of you Especially today . I love you and miss you. I see the confidence, intelligence, independence and diligence, and loving ways everyday, that you instilled in both your kids throughout their lives. I hear about your special ways constantly and see the impact that guides them throughout their lifetime. The way you impacted your son as to how to treat a woman & someone he loves and is still to this day after 41 years together, has been such a blessing. I thank you for that.

I'm sure it makes you smile to know that they WERE listening and watching.
Love, Kat B.

It is so very hard to comprehend that it has been 10 years since you left to go to heaven! There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of you in some way or another. Your love is with me everyday! I miss your physically being here Mom, but in my heart and in my mind I hear your voice nearly every day! I Love You !!

Precious Momma, in heaven -
It has been 10 years ago, today... that we lost you. With every day that passes, I miss you more and more. Tom and I moved back to Florida a few weeks ago and I wish you were here with us, to enjoy the places you loved so much. You are always in my heart and my memories of your smile and your warm hugs give me comfort. I often get strong feelings that you are watching over me from heaven, Momma... and I thank you for that. I love and miss you Momma... more than words can express.

♪ ♫They say it's your birthday♪♫......And as the song says momma it IS! I woke this morning thinking of you and with the current illness in the world I was reminded how you used to tell us to eat well and keep our "red corpuscles" strong so we could in turn stay healthy! All the things you taught us as we grew continue with us momma just as the Love you left with us! I Love and Miss You !! Everyday!

April 16, 2020

Good morning and Happy Birthday Momma.
I am thinking about you, especially today, on what would be your 94th birthday. I put the hummingbird feeder out today, in remembrance of you -because you loved watching them and because they usually return for the spring, on your birthday. I miss you So much Momma. Words just cannot express. I love you SO very much and I look forward to the time I can see you again.

January 3, 2020

Hi Mom D
Its me Kat. Your daughter in law here on earth. I think of you often with smiles and with tears. I miss you. You were such an inspirational. strong. dedicated. & special Mom to your son and daughter. I have loved listening to so many wonderful stories about you from both of them over the last 40 years and how you touched their lives in so many ways. How you kept them strong thru much turmoil at times, and how you made them smile and gave them a positive attitude even thru negative situations. So many of your wonderful teachings live within them still throughout their lives. God sure sent an angel when he created you. Beautiful inside and out! It makes me smile when Charley reminisces about your sense of humor and special things you said to him and Lou like on road trips that we passed on to our boys
"bet that bug don't have the GUTS to do that again" LOL as they splatter against the windshield. One of the many smiles you brought our way,
Anyway.....Thank you for the smiles and good teachings you brought our way. Love and Miss you Mom Kat B

January 3, 2020

When I opened my eyes this morning you were heavy on my mind momma. Seems as though yesterday you were still here, available to talk with, available to hug. I miss you deeply my beautiful mother !! Kisses and Hugs! I Love You Mom!! Charley

January 3, 2020

Precious Momma in Heaven,
There isn't a day that goes by, that I don't think about you. Your laughter and sense of humor... your beautiful singing... your faith in God... your ability to love and forgive. My memories of you are with me so often - that it is hard for me to believe you have been gone from this earth for so long... and yet I feel such an emptiness in my heart, without you here... today... just as I did the day you left.
I love you and miss you so much.

April 16, 2019

Happy Birthday, Precious Momma. You would be 93 today, if you were still with us. I still can hardly believe you are gone. I think about you every day.
I know how you enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on our patio. They have been known to return on your birthday, most every year. They showed up a few days early this year, to our surprise - so I have been thinking about you and your smile a little more lately, and missing you a whole lot more, the last few days. I just wish I could give you a hug and tell you how much I love you and miss you.

April 16, 2019

It is great that you are keeping your memories of your mother alive. Thoughts are with you all, especially as Easter time approaches.

April 16, 2019

Thinking of you a little bit more than usual today cause it's your b-day!! Miss you and Love you my Sweet Momma!! Happy Birthday!!

January 3, 2019

Momma, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. It has been eight years today that we lost you. I love and miss you so very much. I got to visit Tampa this week and reminisce about your life.
I thought about all the people you loved while you were on this earth and how your beauty and caring touched so many people in such positive ways. I will always appreciate the humor and love you shared with others and I am proud to have been your daughter.

January 3, 2019

Lou Ann and family....we never stop missing our parents. Enjoy your memories of your mother today and every day.

January 3, 2019

I awoke this morning and you must have been watching me because I immediately began thinking of you. Every year begins with your memory Mom and how you always looked forward to the 'fresh' start a new year brought! Your always positive thoughts live on in me my sweet Momma!! ♥ I Love and Miss You ♥

April 16, 2018

Happy Birthday, to my Precious Momma. You would be 92 years young today.
I think about you every day, Honey... and I love and miss you more and more as time goes by. The hummingbirds you loved so much - have made it back again this weekend momma... in your honor. Oh... how I wish you were still here... to sit with me and watch them.

April 16, 2018

Happy Birthday My Sweet Mom ! I am thinking of you and missing you just a little extra today because it is your b-date ! I Love You !!

January 5, 2018

Hi Mom Davis-Its Kat,, your other girl you treated as your own. I thought of you all day (1-3-2018) as I do so very often. and I thought of How much I appreciate all your strength, compassion, respect, and unconditional love that you instilled in your son, who has passed it along to his sons and me . You were such a wonderful person inside and out, and because of this I know where you are and you continue to watch over your son and his family, as well as Lou and hers. I feel so very privileged to have been able to tell everyone what a wonderful mother-in-law I had. I love you .

January 4, 2018

Mamm, I didn’t know you well but what I did know is you were a beautiful person inside and out. Your daughter will always be my best friend . She shared a lot about your. Please keep looking down on her and pray for her and her family. Love you Lou.

January 3, 2018

Precious Momma,
Today is seven years you have been gone. It doesn't seem possible.
I still think about you and one of our last conversations. I remember how you smiled when we talked about your legacy of family... through your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Family was always the most important thing in your life and your family still holds that value, thanks to you. I know you are watching over all of us, Momma. Your love is present in our hearts and we miss your hugs every, single day.
I miss you Momma.... more than I can say.

January 3, 2018

Mom it is a cold wintery day here today, but while gazing at your picture that beautiful smile and loving eyes warmed my heart ! I will forever miss and love you !!

April 17, 2017

Momma,
Easter was especially beautiful this year because it was also your birthday.
The hummingbirds that you loved to watch so much even showed up again this year on your birthday, as they have for years.
I love and miss you so much, Momma.

April 16, 2017

Thinking of You EXTRA today on one of the few times that Your Birthday coincides with Easter !! I know the celebrations in heaven are especially joyous today because of that my Sweet Momma!! ♥ I Love You and Miss You ♥

January 4, 2017

Momma,
Yesterday... the thoughts of you... and the tears of grief were too much for me to write here. It's been six years now, since you left us. I think about you every single day and wish, more than anything, you were still here. I wish I could put my arms around you... just one more time... and tell you how much I love you.
Charley and I talk about how much love you taught us... and the funny things we did with you... like singing harmony to old tunes when we were on "road trips". We remember how you use to whistle - in harmony - with us - and it always made us laugh.
Remember when Charley was running Track and you stood up and "cock-a-doodled" to tell him to "Run, Charley, Run!"?
You touched so many lives here on earth and left wonderful memories with every person who knew you.
You didn't have an easy life. There were so many difficult times you faced... but somehow you always put your own needs aside for those around you... believing that a person is only worth what they can do to help others. I know God must have you at His side now, because of your wonderful character and graciousness, here on earth.
Your legacy of selflessness and unconditional love stays with us Mom and it lives in our hearts every day. We sure do miss you.

January 3, 2017

Hey Mom D. I'm thinking of you today as I think of you often and wish you were still here with us so that I could see your beautiful smile and share in your great stories,words of wisdom, great sense of humor, (definitely instilled in your children :), and your strength in the Lord. Thank you for your Sons continued dedicated Love for me and his family, which I know he learned from you. Love and Miss you so much.

January 3, 2016

Miss and Love You Mom!! I Think of You Every Day!! ♥♥♥♥

April 17, 2015

Thinking of you especially today on your birthday here on earth. I know why the Lord gave you a birthday in the springtime,...Its because he knew it would be your favorite season with the newness of life and all the beautiful flowers you would grow, Mom D. I sure miss your smile and your way of always making me feel special and loved. How blessed I am for having your son's love and respect for women due to his great upbringing.. Thank you for leaving your legacy of two wonderful children, as I am sure you well know and are smiling down from heaven. Love and Miss you Much Kat Beasley (Daughter in Law)

April 16, 2015

It is with love and appreciation that I think of my sister, Norma, today, her birthdate. She was truly an Angel on Earth, who cared for her mother and others to their dates of passing from this life. I have no doubt that she joined (or organized) a quire of angles in heaven. It is sad that we so often do not realize the true wonder of our family members until they are taken from us. "Honey" as she was often referred to by her mother, was irreplaceable on earth. I, her younger brother, pray that she is being remembered by her extensive family members and friends who were fortunate enough to have shared even a small part of her caring and love in their lives. GOD bless her!!!

April 16, 2015

Bet You and all there with in heaven are singin' and dancin' on your day today!! I know you need this flower for your hair!! ♥ Love You Mom ♥

April 16, 2015

I will never forget the day Norma handed me her Mary Kay business card and said call me. The funny thing was, that at that time, I was thinking about finding a consultant. Thank you Norma.

April 16, 2015

today would have been your 89th birthday here We still miss to this day we love you and hope you are doing well in heaven

January 3, 2015

Bet you have a new chapter of Sweet Adeline singing in Heaven Mom!! Miss You Everyday !! ♥♥ Love You ♥♥

April 16, 2014

♥ Love You and Miss You ♥

May 5, 2013

April 16, 2013

Today - April 16 - would have been Mom's 87th birthday. I love and miss you momma. Think about you every day.

January 3, 2013

I met Norma through Mary Kay and through church at MBC. Such a sweet lady. I never knew of all the struggles she endured throughout her life but it certainly made her a beautiful person, inside and out.

January 3, 2013

Norma - a Very fun loving and caring person for others. Her reward in Heaven should be fantastic. I am sure if needs be she is still friendly , caring to others. I enjoyed many great times with her and apppreciated her positive thinking very well. Mary Lou

April 17, 2012

Oh yes, how well I remember the wonderful times I had with Norma especially involved with the Mary Kay groups. Also the care she took of elderly women in her home and her more than beautiful flower gardens. Yes, she will be forever missed. Mary Lou

I miss you so much, Mom.

January 3, 2015

I remember... My Mom's love for God and Family - in that order - above all else.

I remember... Her love for music and her musical talent. ... She often told us, "You can't be angry when you are singing." How true. She would encouraged us to sing or whistle. Then she would join in. ... she would even whistle "in harmony" with my brother and me - and it would create an "overtone" which always made us laugh out loud.

I remember her hugs. They were always so warm and comforting. Every time she had the opportunity... she told us how much she cared. To this day, I can hear her saying "I love you, Lou". Because of her... I believe that is the best thing any parent can do for their children.

She had a way of giving everything she could to others - always putting other people ahead of herself. She believed her purpose in life was to help others. She was a caregiver to her mother.. and when her mother passed away... she continued her selflessness by taking in three little elderly ladies... and she provided 24 hour care to them in her home - until she could no longer physically manage it.

There are so many other wonderful things about my mother that I remember. I wish life had been kinder to her. She deserved so much. I wish I could tell her now, how much I love her - She passed away 4 years ago... today...

I miss you - my sweet Mom.... so very much.

The Rooster Story

February 13, 2011

Mom always used life experiences to teach life lessons. On one occasion we (mom, my sister, and I) were visiting Aunt Marianne (mom’s older sister) at her farm outside of Zephyr Hills, Florida. They had orange groves and many of the various farm creatures one might expect. Among these creatures was a very territorial rooster who considered the barnyard as his and was quite intolerable of strangers. I on this day was out in the barn playing with my cousins when the Big Bad Rooster decided that I was intruding on his ‘turf’! He charged me with his wings flapping and screaming at me as though he was ten times the size he really was! My first instinct was to run to safety as fast as I could, which meant to the house. As it were mom and her sister were standing by the fence surrounding the barnyard watching as I ran toward them and the house. That Huge Rooster was hot on my heels and I was running and screaming, terrified at the consequence of being caught! Mom and her sister were yelling “turn around and face him” over and over but I kept running! I got to mom and she stepped in between the rooster and me as my protector and that Mean Old Rooster stopped abruptly and ran the other way! Later in life mom recalled that story to me telling me that one should stand and face life’s adversities and not run from them. Although many years had passed she always had the right anecdote stored away to address a life issue. She was always subtle, but to the point when teaching me how to be a man.

Oh, and as a footnote to this story……as a youngster I was involved in track and field. Mom would always come to my “meets” to root me on. When I was running a race and someone was catching me I would hear this loud ‘rooster crow’ coming out of the stands inspiring me to run faster! Mom was always watching out for me!

Wonderful Neighbor

February 2, 2011

I remember Norma from Tampa Fl. She lived across the street from me and I was always SO impressed that she took care of little old ladies in her home in order that they not be sent to a cold place to live out their lives. She saw to it that their medical needs were taken care of and that they had a very cheerful place to live. I remember one lady called Frances who had Alzheimers. Frances loved to read and Norma and I giggled over the fact that she never had to buy Frances another book. She could reread the same one over and over. One major thing I could say about Norma was "To know her was to love her" Her heart was bigger than she was. I am SURE her place in Heaven is a palace and I look forward to seeing her there as I haven't much longer here myself. I feel God was so good to allow me to know her as a friend. Monnie Martin
