Just found a picture of you online. Not even searching. It literally popped up out of nowhere. It was a picture with a link to this page. Maybe it was a simple way of you letting me know you were thinking of me. It lead me to this page. After 2 years, it isnt any easier. I think about you EVERYDAY. I open my curio cabinet just to get a smell of your house. I decorated my tree again this year with some of your ornaments. I rode by Christmas Eve night and sat in front of your house and cried for thirty minutes. I miss you so much. So many daily reminders of you.  I am thankful for those reminders. The little things that take me back to when you were still with us. I love you Grandma.

Hey Grandma. I was just thinking about you. We missed you yesterday at Morgan's graduation party. It sounds weird...but a few times I swore I heard your laugh. Maybe because I wanted so bad to hear it. Please look down upon all of us and keep us safe. I was on my way to Taco Tico Friday and for a split second....I thought about riding by and seeing you.  Love you so much!! MEL

Norma,
Thank you for making grandpa so happy all those years! You two were like two little kids in love for many years. I believe we wouldn't have had so many years longer with him if it weren't for you. I still remember your laugh, cause you all laughed alot together. Love you and miss you and tell everyone up there "I love them."

For my dear Mother inlaw Norma,
I promise to honor your memory by always being the best wife I can be to your son, Stephen, and the best sister-inlaw I can be to Sandy and Sherri, the best Aunt to all of your grandchildren. Your memory warms my spirit and lifts my soul -- thank you for loving me and making me a part of your family. I love you and miss you.

Dearest Mother, You are missed with every beat of my heart. You gave me life and memories to cherish throughout my lifetime. Thank God he blessed me with such a loving and caring Mom. You are the Master of Motherhood in my eyes. I will look for the brightest star that you watched and see you. I love you Mom, my rock <3

Oh Mama,... I sure haven't been your rock since you went to heaven. I wasn't ready for this part of life and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. I miss the hard belly laughs when i spent the nite, and you took your wig off and looked in the mirror. You said 'ain't that a sight".We would roll on the bed laughing so hard. Little did you know I though you were more beautiful then ever.

VWF FRIDAY NITE...What a wonderful memory my Friday's were. She looked forward to each and every wk with her and Charlie. They loved to watch us and hear us sing, have a couple drinks and of course order from the kitchen. Everyone thought she was wonderful and so youthful acting and looking. We still miss her and keep the empy chair that sister sits in when able to come. It will never be the same without her and her smile and love for us all. My Mother was an unbelievable person who was there whenever I needed to talk, cry, laugh, sing or listen. I miss everything about her and still have tearful days and nights often. This part of life is miserable when you miss someone whom u spent 61 yrs with. I know she had a long life and a happy and loving one, but you are never ready to give them up to God. You were the best mom on earth and we told you that often and truly mean it. We still play Joker Wild and roll the dice for a free drink and laugh and have fun but someone is missing. It feels strange not being able to hold your hand or kiss u on the cheek so I do it secretly and pretend u are there,which u are in spirit. All my love to u mom...Sandy Rae <3
