My oh my ! It’s your 72nd birthday ! Happy Birthday !!!!! My Colton is 9 years old now, and will be starting in the 3rd grade here in a couple of days ! I am so proud of him, he struggles in school but we are going to the doctor soon to get him tested for dyslexia. Hoping for some answers so we can move forward and teach him his school work more properly. I will be 30 soon in a few months. Had a rough patch about a year ago struggling with “ life “ but I’m okay now. Just trying to make it through this crazy life one day at a time. Colton plays travel baseball and now football on top of that, we STAY busy with baseball. Man is he good !!!! You’d love that kid. He looks like his dad, but boy does he got our families redneck mouth. We all miss ya’, I found your letter while moving grandpa out of y’alls house that you left for me. 101 ways to deal with stress. I needed that that week, thanks for leaving me that. I’m still in nursing working in the nursing homes. Want to change careers tho. Never know what could happen. Anyways, hope them streets of gold make you happy. Glad your not hurting anymore. Glad you can breathe good. Keep watching over all of us. Especially your momma’, she ain’t doing to good right now. She’s got dementia, god love her. Keep an eye on her. Me and mom had been trying to help best we can. We love you.

Been a while. Hope you are dancing with Jesus. Hope you check up on us from time to time. Colton is 8 now !!!!! 8 !!!! Still going to Seton, started 2nd grade a few days ago. He is SO GOOD at baseball. He is going somewhere ! I just bought my first house last month in Centerville. It’s got a big nice back yard. Feels like we’re in the country. I love the new house, but what I would give to be sleeping in your bed with you like a kid again. Still working as a CNA. Still trying to fight my mental health battles. Still trying to do the right thing. Still pushing forward. I love you. Watch over Colton. Me. All of us. Miss ya’.

How are you ? Do you watch me ? Do you watch Colton ? He is almost 8 years old now. He is SO TALL AND SKINNY ! He is almost as tall as me ( same attitude ‍♀️ ) !!!! He is in first grade at seton school here in Richmond. It’s a very good private school. I am 27 now, I am a nursing assistant going on 10 1/2 years now still. Still a single mom, but that’s ok because I don’t need no man. I’m independent You and mom taught me well for sure. I got my first home loan a few months ago to buy my first home, but I’m super picky on what I want so I can’t decide. Wish me luck on finding a house soon !! My time will come. I just bought a new car a few days ago, very good on gas. I am doing alright. I don’t want or need for anything and neither does Colton. Wish you could have seen him grow. He’s becoming such a young gentleman. He’s sweet when he wants to be. He’s a momma’s boy, but boy does he have a mouth on him ! He would have loved you. You will never be forgotten. I pray you watch over us. I try to be the best mom I can be, it gets hard, I’m alone, wish I had a little family of my own but things didn’t turn out that way. I push. I’ll be alright. Just be with me. I love you. ❤️ Is it pretty in heaven ?????? ❤️

I wish you could have met my baby. His name is Colton. He just turned 7. He gives me life. God knew I needed him. He is so full of life, hard headed like the rest of the family. He plays baseball, 4 years now. He’s good grandma ! I’m that baseball mom that’s out there yelling ! Lol. Wish he could have met you. He’s a wild one. I snapped a pic of him at your grave a few weeks ago, there was an orb in the pic. I’m sure you knew we were there. Wish you were here to see him grow. I’m in nursing. I am a CNA, have been for 10 1/2 years now. Hope you’re proud. I got my first house loan 3 months ago, house hunting to buy my first house ! Sooo many accomplishments you’ve missed, you would be so proud. Miss you. Watch over us. Lord knows I need it.

I light this candle not just in memory but to keep the flame in my heart burning. I miss you and love you so much that i cant breath at times. I cant go in ur house still. I make it to the porch and panic sets in. Ben took me to see you few weeks ago and it felt good to know i can find u now when i need to be with u. Ur always in my heart. I always talk to you in my prayers. I will never understand why those we love are taken from us but to know u was a big part of my life helps to be ok 5 yrs later. But one hug one more time hearing ur voice one more anything...all leads to one day i will get to see u again. The miles and galaxies between us mean nothing cause ur always here with me in my heart.

from christina I think about you when I look at your new gran baby, it makes me sad knowing that she won't know you only threw us. I feel some comfort in seeing what a wonderful mother crissy has turned out to be. Taylor is the best big sister and jake is such a loving brother.

Yesterday was Christmas without you and on Dec,22 my daughter Mariah was born. It was so hard being in labor without you here even though several times I felt you standing beside me. The next morning Mariah got choked and quit breathing, the nurse took her from me and rushed her down the hall.I know it was God and you that saved her. You whispered in my ear that she would be ok.and she was. Thanks

It's a few weeks from Christmas and it's hard to believe me, you, and Taylor aren't baking cookies. I miss you taking me to my prenatal doctor appointments, even though I know you are really there with me in spirit. I'm doing my best to stay strong (thats what I've learned from you) and to take care of Dad. You knew I would, God what I'd give to talk to you even on the phone.

There's not a night that goes by that I don't lay awake for hours and think of what all we would do if we had one more day together. I hope I inherit just Half the emotional strength that you had. Sorry you're body was weaker than most. Keep visiting me in my dreams.. and each time I see a butterfly...I can't help but think it's sign you're watching over me. I Promise I WILL see you some day!

Grandma, it's Taylor. You've been gone for over a year now, it seems like just yesterday we got the call on the road. When you passed away, I not only lost a Grandmother, I lost my best friend. I wish it never even happened. It wasn't your fault, it was no ones fault. God had plans for you, he needed your help, he needed an angel. Although it hurts to know you're gone, I believe that you're watching over every single one of us, and keeping us all safe. There's not a second that goes by that I don't miss our good times together, but you were hurting then, you just didn't try to show it. I knew the pain you had, i seen it, when no one else did. You held it all back just to make the time you had here worth it. I still remember all the long talks we used to have about what Heaven would be like, and how you couldn't wait to go there, how you couldn't wait to stop hurting. I'm glad to know you're now walking with God and following the path he has laid out for you, and I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of you for doing everything you could to keep our family together while you were here. I know if you were here you'd be proud of me too, and the things I'm trying to accomplish. You always told me that you wanted what was best for me, and I'm trying to keep my promise I made to you and do good in life. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get through my life as I grow older. Get through school, college, raise a beautiful family, and I'll be sure to let them know all about you ! Sometimes I struggle because you're not here to talk to physically, but I know if I just pray, you'll be listening. I love you, and I miss you so much. I'll see you again, I pinky promise. You'll never be forgotten, love always, Taylor ♥

God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be.   So he wrapped his arms around you and whispered, "Come with me."

You didn't deserve what you went through, and so he gave you rest,   God's garden must be beautiful,  he only takes the best.

So when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, I could not wish you to come back to suffer that all again.
