Good morning honey. Well, here it is another year gone by. Today is the day that you were taken from me. Even though today is the 6th, its Thursday and that was the day you left me so abruptly. I miss you so much Sarah. Sitting here at the cabin, looking at our wedding picture and remembering the wonderful times we had here and just our life together. I miss your laugh, I miss you smile, I miss thought beautiful blue eyes. Honey, you are my life and I will always love and miss you. I'll see you later in my dreams. I want to hold you one more time and tell you how much I love you. Take care honey and remember you are missed very much.

Hey...mama!! So of course Mother's Day was Sunday, and of course it was another day that we missed spending with you. We missed you so much, your smile, your hugs, your voice, just you! So much is happening, and dang I need your advice on so much. The kids are great.....Huck is getting ready for high school, just turned 14....he's so handsome/smart. However...It's tough deciding where to send him, because he has a few choices, and between him, and me we cannot seemed to make one. It drives me insane...because I just hate to make the wrong decision?? Lucie is beautiful, smart, active, and is just like Chip. She'll be starting 4th grade, and has really seemed to take off this year with her grades. Chip is good....he's the same. Just wants to be on the water. Life has it's ups, and downs...I'm/we're just trying to get through it the best we can. I dreamed of you the other night....and this dream was uncommon....you were sleeping, but then started faded away?? It woke me up crying, and just missing you something awful!! Please never leave us, and please always continue to watch over all of us!! Happy Mother's Day Mama!! We all love, and adore you forever, and always!! I'm attaching a drawing Lucie drew for me, and of course I need no explanation about the picture, but when she gave it to me she just said "I just wanted to see you smile...mama"!!

Happy mothers day Mom!! Mandi and I are starting our new positions soon (which I'm sure you already knew!!). This has been a very difficult year for Mandi and I but we couldn't have done it without you. We miss and love you so much. Thank you, for always being here with me Momma. Love, Michael

Good morning honey. Happy Mother's Day. I miss you and wish you were here so I could give a big hug and kiss. Today is your day to relax and let me do all the cooking and pampering. I can see your smiling face and bright eyes. I love you honey and will always love you. My surgery went well the other day. Everyone at the hospital was very nice and professional. I wish you were here to help me re-couperate. I could use your tender touch and beautiful smile. Honey, I love you so much and miss you terribly. Well sweetheart, again Happy Mother's Day and have a great day with your Mom. I love you honey and always will. ;-)

Happy Valentines Day honey. I miss you honey. This is a day for loving your partner. You're my partner and I love you so very much. Remember our songs; "Keeper of the Stars" by tracy Byrd, "I'll Always Love You" by Taylor Dayne and "My Valentine" by Martina McBride. Hearing these records and listening to the words make me miss you even more baby. I love you so much and wish I could hold you in my arms and give you a big kiss. I'm sending you my love and a big kiss. I'll always love you Sarah and will never stop. Take care sweetheart and again, Happy Valentines Day. ;-)

Happy New Year honey. Well here it is another new year and another lonely year without you. I love you honey and miss you so much. As the years go by, I wonder what it would have been like for me and you and all the plans we had. Traveling and just being together at the cabin. Ok honey, have a "Angelic" New Year and tell everyone I said hi. I think of you each day and wish I could hold you one more time to tell you how much I love you. Sweet dreams honey. Love you..:-)

Hey Mom, Merry Christmas!! This time of the year, throughout the holidays, is always a little tough for all of us without you here. We all miss and love you oh so much. I watched Emmitt Otter Jug Band Christmas for you the other day. I know how much you like that movie!! I think about you every day and I know that you're here with me spiritually. Merry Christmas Mom and I love you.

Merry Christmas honey. I'm sitting here listening to our Christmas disk. Brings back so many memories. I miss you honey and I'm very lonely this time of year without you. I'm lonely all year through but especially today. I wish I could be with you and see your smiling face and bright eyes. I love you so much baby it hurts me. Well honey, have a Heavenly Merry Christmas with your family up there and I'll try to be merry down here. I love you sweetheart and always will. Miss you very much. :-)

Merry Christmas Eve honey. It sure isn't the same without you. I can remember when we would run our tails off on Christmas Eve visiting everyone and delivering their gifts. By the time Christmas came we needed a rest. I miss you so much honey. I wish I could be with you tonight, just to hold you and tell you how much I love and miss you. Well honey I'm gonna go and have some dinner with TJ and Tamara. Wishing you and merry Christmas Eve and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you.

Good morning honey. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I still miss you so much. The holidays aren't the same without you. I miss your "yankee dressing", :) Honey, I love you so much and will always have you with me no matter where I am. Have a good day and eat some "heavenly" turkey for me. I love you honey and miss you very much.

Good morning honey. Happy Birthday. Your 66th b-day. Wow!!!! I miss you so much and wish you were here so I could give you a great big hug and kiss. I dreamt about you last night. Honey, you were and still are the only one in my life. Its been five years since I lost you and no one has ever come close to taking my heart like you did the first night we met. I'm not looking for anyone and will go to my grave loving you. I hope you have a great birthday and have some "Angelfood" cake for me. I love you Sarah and always will. Happy Birthday.....

Happy Birthday Mama Sarah!!! Yesterday morning I saw two glorious rainbows shine against the morning sun. Their beauty reminded me of you and your warming heart. Miss you more every day and wish you were here experiencing this journey with us. Could use your words and guidance through some of the many stresses we face. But we know you are here with us...leaving your angel footprints each step of the way. Love you Mama Sarah....one day we will be together again, sipping on tangy margaritas and dancing our hearts out.....Love you!

Mom,

Five years is only a sliver of time compared to the eternal bond both you and I share. Even if you aren't physically here, I feel as though our bond has grown stronger. Thank you for always being here for me and I love you so much!

Love very much mom, Emmy said she loves you, Carmen sais she lives you also. WE ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

Well here we are baby, another year gone by and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Honey you are so missed and loved. I just wish I could hold you in my arms one more time and tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me. The years just seem to fly by anymore. I'm sitting here listening to our music thinking of our time together and how happy we were. I can see your smile and your beautiful eyes and feel your arms around me. I love you Sarah and I always will. Until the day we are together again my love. I love you.

Hey Mom! Happy Mothers Day!! How's everything been? Things here are going well, Mandi and I are busy with work and just trying to live life day by day. We miss you very much and days like this are tough for me but it helps to know that you are always here with me. I miss and love you very much Mom. Happy Mothers day again, you are the best Mom any son could ask for. Love you!!

Happy Mothers Day honey. Another year gone by. Sitting here at the cabin listening to our cd's and thinking of when we were here and all the happiness we had. Sarah honey, I miss you so much it hurts. I can't and I couldn't then, imagine my life without you. I hope you have a great Mothers Day with your Mom. I love you honey and I always will. You are my bright and shinning star. Love you.

Good morning honey. Here it is, 2:21 AM and I can't sleep. I'm sitting here with a glass of wine and eating pretzels. Listening to the surf radio and playing Savannah In the Rain by G-riff. Missing you honey and wishing you were sitting here with me. I'm at the corner of walk and don't walk. I love you Sarah with all my heart and soul. Take care honey and I'm always thinking of you. Love you.xoxoxoxo

Happy Valentines Day honey. I miss you so much. This morning I was laying in bed remembering how when we couldn't sleep during the night we would get up and have a glass of Baileys and eat some cheezits. I miss that so much. My heart aches for you. I LOVE YOU HONEY AND ALWAYS WILL. Until we are together again. Happy Valentines Day. Love you.xoxoxo

Happy Christmas and New Year Mom!!! Mandi and I are finally back in SC. I've started the new job and so far, everyone seems real nice! Kim gave me "Twas the Night Before Christmas" book in Cajun!! Reminded us of when you would read it to us every Christmas!! Miss you so much around the holidays Mom. Love you Mom, wish you were here with us. Talk to you soon. Love Always, Michael

Good morning sweetheart. Happy anniversary!!! Twelve years ago today we said "I Do" and it just seems like yesterday. Honey I miss you so much and I need you. You are my whole world, even though you're not here, you are my every thought and in my dreams every night. We had such a great life and it was taken away from us. I miss you honey and would just love to hold you one more time and tell you how much I love you. But then again, you know how much you mean to me and always will. Take care honey and this is "our day". Happy anniversary again and I Love You!!!xoxoxoxo

Merry Christmas honey. Sitting here thinking of you and missing you so much. This time of the year is especially hard without you. I miss you so much. I miss you your smile, your laugh, your arms around me telling me you love me. I miss everything about you and me. I hope you are doing well. I'll leave you with a kiss and a smile. Wishing you again a Merry Christmas. Love you sweetheart.XOXOXO

Hey Mom!! I just wanted to say that I miss and love you so so much. Mandi and I are about to embark on a new adventure in South Carolina! I know you are here with me in spirit but oh, what I would give to be able to sit down with you, have some coffee and talk about all the good times and the bad times we have experienced. I'm scared Mom, I'm scared and nervous of all the changes we are about to face but I know that you will be there to help guide me and give me the strength to persevere. Lol, I know just what you would say! You would say that I'm so smart, that you are so proud of me, that everything will be okay and that I'm going to do great! Oh god, what I would give just to hear you say these things. I miss you so so much Mom. Please stay close to us and protect us while we embark on this new adventure. Love always,

Happy Birthday Mom!! Mandi and I miss and love you so much. 65 years is so short compared to the amount of love we have for you. Tell everyone I said hey and we miss and love you. Happy Birthday!!

Happy 65th birthday honey. Oh honey, I miss you so much. Today would be a milestone for us. You were taken from me way too soon and I am empty without you. People tell me to move on but baby, I need your tender arms around me and to see your sweet loving smile. I miss you so much. Tell everyone up there to make you a nice "Angel Food" cake and have a piece for me. Again honey, Happy birthday and remember I love you very much and always will. Have a great day. Love you.

Hey mom it's been a long time. I miss you very much,i miss you asking me if i am alright all the time, i miss talking to you i miss you so much.    
I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Sweet lady.....you are so very missed. As the many tributes display, your soul and heart are something that is needed/missed in this world. But the memories you left bring smiles and joy. Thank you for being with Michael and I as we often feel your sweet presence. As you protected your babes on earth, I believe you are still protecting just as a guardian angel.

God Bless you and your love for life. Hope one day we can have that cup of coffee and oh my gosh your awesome chicken and dumplings! Love you!

Hey Mom! 4 years today, seems like it's only been a blink of an eye. As I'm writing this, the soundtrack to "Dances with Wolves" came on, It's good to know that you are always with me!! Amanda and Memphis are doing well. Today will always be a hard day for me but at least I know that there is a margarita waiting for me in celebration of you! People say that time will heal but no amount of time can make us forget the day that god took you away from us. He must have had a good reason to need you up there with him. Even though you aren't here physically, your love and wisdom will always be here to light our path. Love Always, ♥Michael♥

Good morning honey. Well it has been four years today that the Lord took you from me. There's not a day go by that I don't miss you and think about you. I'm just getting back to the cabin today. Wanted to be here today for you. From the sounds of Kim's tribute, seems like everyone was together for the fourth. Shame no one called to see if I was doing anything, could have seen them all. Baby, I am so lonely without you. My days and nights are filled with thoughts of us and how happy we were. I know one day we will be together again and that will be the happiest day of my life. Just like the first night I met you. Well honey, I won't linger on. You know that I genuinely love you and miss you with all my heart. I'll see you in my dreams tonight and will hold you in my arms. Love you sweetheart.

Hi Sarah,
Emmy pulled her tigers down from her shelf last night and said, "I miss Grandma Sarah." She talks about you and sleeps with her "Sarah Bear" all the time. Mark doesn't say much about you, it still hurts him too much. I know one day he will be able to talk about you with a smile and not a tear, but he isn't there just yet. Everything reminds him of you and things Emmy does makes him think of you and how much he wishes he could share her with you. I guess you know she made the President's Honor Society. All A's since she has been in school. She got your brains!! How I wish you were here to help with her. She is already smarter than both her Dad and I! She wants to be a cardiothorasic surgeon. That way she can save someone's Mom or Grandma when she grows up.
We miss you Sarah. I hope you know how much your family loves you and wishes you were here to give us just one of your awesome hugs! I will take care of Mark for you. Love you bunches always and forever.

Hey mama!! I'm sitting at work really, really trying to keep my head into the day, but I cannot. I've been thinking of life, family, you, and just wishing I could talk like we always did. Michael, and Mandy came down the other night (both of them doing great...just need to move back to SC), and it was an amazing visit. Sara came as well....first time to 230 Walnut Ave in forever (she is doing great), and while it was so wonderful to have that moment it made me very, very sad. It hit me that our family is so far apart, and not close at all how you would've wanted for us. I'll try my best to work on that....we need it. I've got about million questions, and a million things I wish I could talk with you about...life, family, you...and I know I can talk to you, but I SOOOOO miss your answers about life, family, and you!!! We love you mama/grandma Sarah...and I cannot put into words how much we/I miss you. Lucie looks so much like you it's crazy....Huck of course is as handsome as ever...though he think's he's short or too fat?!?! He's in that in between stage...he just prays he gets taller then dad...shhhhh don't laugh!! (: They both are so smart, but of course Huck worries like that trait you know so well, and Lucie is Lucie...sweet, and sour!!! Next few years should be fun...and I'll ask for a lift on that mother's curse now please?!? lol...(: Chip is the same...laid back, and shrimping!! Tomorrow is always an awful day to have to remember....it's not the only day that hits me hard, but it's the day that took you from us, which makes me cold, mad, sad, unhappy, and just pissed. BUT as you know as mother's will do...I'll jump out of bed, take care of my family, and do my job....but will be thinking of the loss that has, and I feel will always leave a little part of me numb!! Keep looking after all of us!!

Hey Mom, Happy Mother's Day! Around this time every year is always a little hard for me. Seeing people with their Moms and spending time together but I have to take a step back and remember that you are always with me and we are always together! Today is a special time for everyone's Mom but with us it's mother's day all year long. I love and miss you, forever and always!

Happy Mothers Day honey. Its another lonely day here at the cabin wishing you were here with me. I know you're here in spirit, but it would be great to have you here physically. I hope everything is well with you. I truly miss you honey and think of you every day. Please tell your Mom a happy Mothers Day for me. Well honey hope you have a great day and remember I love you with all my heart and soul and miss you terribly. Love you honey.

Happy Valentines Day honey. I miss you so much. I wish you were here so I could shower you with kisses and give you a great big hug. You are my life and my heart aches for you. I love you so much I will never let you go. Again honey, Happy Valentines Day and yes I'll be your valentine. Love you.

Good morning honey. Well here it is, another lonely birthday without you. Just feels like another day. They go by so fast anymore I can't keep up. Hope all is well with you and you are taking care of everyone. I love you honey and I miss you so very much. Well guess I'll go. Say hi to everyone for me and remember I love you and miss you. Love you. Tony

Happy New Year honey. Another lonely year has passed and another one has started. I miss you so much and wish you were here with me. You are in my heart and soul and I just want you to know that I love you more each day and will love you until the day the Lord calls me home. Please tell everyone a happy New Year for me and remember, you are always in my dreams and thoughts. I love you.

Happy Anniversary honey. I'm sorry I missed yesterday. It was a difficult day for me. Anne Murray's song 'Can I have this dance" came on this morning and it brought back some old memories of when we used to dance to it "Can I have this dance for the rest of my life, will you be my partner for the rest of my life". Honey I miss you so much I can't begin to explain how much I hurt without you. I love you baby and happy anniversary again. I love you!!!!

Hey Mama, Merry Christmas!! Me and Lucie made sausage cheese balls last night and it was such an amazing memorial that reminded me of the past. We have missed you so much...this time of year is always so hard, and there has been so many days lately where I needed to talk to you. Huck says hi, Chip says he misses your dressing, and Lucie says to give you kisses!!! I did dream of hummingbirds the other night and know that was from you and Mamaw!! Thank you!!! Love you!!! Kimbo!!(:

Hey Mom, Merry Christmas! Another year is behind us and I have thought about you every day. During this time of the year is when I think about you more. I miss and love you so much Mom. I look back on all the Christmas holidays we had and there is no measurement of how much motherly love you gave me. Mom, I cannot begin to express how much I love you and how grateful I am to be the man you've turned me into. Your wisdom, love and guidance is one of the greatest gift I'll ever receive and because of that you will continue to live on through me. Merry Christmas Mom, I love you!

Merry Christmas honey. Another lonely Christmas without you here. You are in my heart and I love you so very much and miss you terribly. Will spend most of the day alone. I hope your day will be better. You have your Mom and Dad and Kirk to spend it with. I love you honey and always will. There will never be anyone to take your place. I love you and miss you. Merry Christmas honey.

Well honey here it is Christmas Eve and I'm sitting here by myself missing you very much. Remember how we use to run our tails off on Christmas Eve seeing everyone and dropping off gifts. By the time we got back to Maggie we needed a vacation to rest. Anyway honey, I miss you and love you with all my heart. I'll be back tomorrow to wish you a Merry Christmas. Love you.

Hey Mom!! HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!! Hope everything is going well. I know you're here with us today. We've saved a spot for you at the table and we've got some turkey, sweet potato casserole and macaroni and cheese, just like you used to make Mmmmm!!! Mandi and I love and miss you very very much. Talk to you again soon, Love you Mom♥♥♥

Happy Thanksgiving honey. Just wanted you to know that I love and miss you so very much. I thank God everyday for bringing us together. He knew what he was doing joining us together. I also want you to know that I miss you more and more each day. My love for you will never go away and you are my whole life. I love you honey. Have some " yankee" dressing with your turkey. I love you.xoxoxoxo

Happy birthday honey. Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you today and as I do everyday. I hope you have a great day and that the Angels will sing you Happy Birthday and have a sunshine cake for you. I miss and love you very much and always will. Love you.xoxoxo

Hey Mom!! How have things been? Mandi and I have been getting more and more acquainted with Virginia but I know you knew that since you've been here with us the whole time!! We miss and love you so much. Memphis says hi!! Tell Mamaw, Papaw and Kirk we said hello as well. I love you so much.

Aunt Sarah, I think about you and miss you every single day. And I still feel the warmth of your love like we were just together. The ways that you continue to inspire me are more complex and meaningful than you would ever imagine. You are still influencing my path forward. I love you so much.

Hey honey, I miss you so much. My life without you is empty. I'm trying to do the best I can but, I still remember the first day we met. I knew that night that I would love you forever. Today is a very sad day for me, I can remember everything that transpired that dreadful day. I love you so much. I miss you but I know Heaven is better with you there. I love you and will forever. Tell Kirk to have a "bud" for me. I love you honey, see you in my dreams.

Hey mama...not a day goes by that I don't miss you or think of you. Huck and Lucie are forever telling each other stories about Grandma Sarah. I see a little of you in both of them, which gives me a smile when I really need one. BTW...Lucie is just like me but worse?!?!? So if you have any pity on me AT ALL can you pleae remove the mother's curse?? Chip would be very grateful!! LOL....love you to moon & back!!!!
