Well My Doll, I am finally going to get to take you home where you belong. Where you wanted to be. I am so sorry it was not sooner before all of this. One way or the other you will finally be able to rest, My Love. Everyday is a mess without you, and right now you would be so happy to get to go home. I just hope you are happy up there, Love

Hey My Little Princess!! Well another Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years has come and gone without you. I missed your sweet kiss so much this New Year. I have discovered it doesnt get any easier without you, I just have to dig in and muddle through. I miss you so very much and the only thing that makes it easier is knowing that someday I will be able to hold you again. I love you Little Doll.

Happy Easter My Little doll Baby! I am sure the Good Lord and his beloved son will throw a really good Easter party up there and I know you will enjoy it.

It has been a year ago today since I lost you. I am doing my best to keep on going without you, but it is so hard sometimes. We had so much that was good together. I will never stop loving you. I am trying to move on and start a new life, whether it will be with someone else is a good question, but I know I have to start somewhere. It has been the worst year of my life. I miss you Doll.

Hi Doll Baby. One year ago today we had just got through watching Conan 2011 which had become your favorite movie, when you suddenly got sick, and had to go to the hospital. I wish so many things had been different but it is too late to change anything now. I will always love you no matter what happens to me.

Each day gets a little more lonely. Each day gets a little longer. Each day the sadness takes a turn, and the memories linger. I dont know how much longer I have, I just know your sweet face, those gorgeous brown eyes and loving arms will be waiting when I get there. I love you my Doll Baby. Arnold

From the day I met you, we where alway togather, From the day I left you, You was always in my heart. The day I lost you, I found that no one can take your place. I feel so alone without you. I keep in my mind your face, In my heart your love, I feel warm arms around me, I know it's you. I will see you again one day. I love and miss you so much.

She was, is, and will always be the best thing that ever happened to me. She was a wonderful person in her own way, and was always willing to help those in need if she could. I loved, love, and will love her till the day I die and I hope to be reunited with her. I love you so very much Baby Doll and I miss you. Her little loving heart was still the biggest part of her.

She was and always will an angel. She raised me, my sister and my brother the best that she could. She was and will always be the love of my Dad's life. My three children adore her. She had friends that thought she was a really special and strong woman. She was and still is loved by so many friends and family. I love and miss you so much Mommy. I know you are with us all.

She was my mother. Not only my mom but one of my mentors. She was an amazing individual kind and loving in her own special way. You def had to know her to understand her love but if u did know her u would know that she was full of love. I miss u mommy and I'm still workin on filling this empty void in my life. I will always love u and I will never forget you. Your baby boy, C.C.

Darlene is and always will be my favorite aunt. She was that because she always listened and helped anyone she could. Although I hadn't gotten to see her the last couple of years,she was always a person anyone could count on that had the honor of knowing and loving her. She will always be loved,remembered and missed.

My mother was and will always be a strength and force remaining ever true forever more in my life. She taught me so much about strengths I did not know I had. Mom you taught me to never give up to remain true to myself and love life while were here. I will continue to pull from the strength that you have given me all through the remaining days of my life. I love you Mommy

How We Survive is my favorite poem by Mark Rickerby. Thanks for sharing it. Your mother looks like a lovely lady and obviously very loved and fortunate. This page is a beautiful tribute to her.
I`m Free
May 9, 2012
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
