Becky and Marty
Yellow is undeniably a sunny, joyful color, with associations of positivity, warmth, energy, and optimism.
Like a summer day, yellow is full of possibility and excitement.
We know how much you love the color yellow. Be at peace Sis.
Becky
Thinking about you today on your special day and knowing you are no longer suffering, makes me smile. Although I miss you more than I can express and tears are in my eyes even now, it is for my selfish reasons that I want you here when I know you are in a better place. I love you more.
I wish there were words that could describe how my heart is breaking today. It just seems that it still hurts as though you left me yesterday. I do believe in our Lord and I know how I am supposed to feel with you gone and I know that you are with our dearest son Paul and our sweet Tracy. That alone gives me pleasure. I went on a journey last year to commemorate your memory and that really was very special for Marty and I. It seems like I need to be in Albuquerque to be closer to you. You know how special you are to me and I know you would not like me to feel this pain. I think that the only true satisfaction I will have is when I am by your side with our loved ones walking in heaven together! May you always be surrounded in heaven with yellow butterflies and walk through a path of yellow roses and I always remember you when the wind blows through my hair. I know that all the pain you went through when you were on this earth was so unfair. I am sorry I could not help you then. I think about it a lot. The best gift I had was our last days together. Happy Birthday my sweet sister.
Becky is here with me today and we are thinking of you and wish you were here to share good memories and laughter with us.

The Lyrics to "Andy" by Chaya
There's no easy way to say I miss you.
No words by my attempt could near suffice.
An aching in my heart cause I'm not with you.
This pain without you here I can't describe.
But I have been given such hope, because I've been given such peace.
And I know the day will come when Jesus will call out to me.
Tell me my love, is heaven beautiful?
Can you touch every star in the sky?
As your're walking, my love, down those streets of gold.
Are you wathcing the angels fly?
In those mansions, my love, do you sit with saints
And marvel in the majesty of God?
And my love, do you cry when you look in Jesus' eyes and see HIs compassion, His love and His heart?
At times I sit alone and think of you.
I dream about the way you laugh.
A vision I can see of you with Christ. . .walking side by side, hand in hand.
I know the time draws near when I'll be with you.
When face to face I'll reach and take your hand. . .and I am given such hope,
Because I've been given such peace.
I know the day will come when Jesus will call out to me.
I miss you so, my dear Sister, but I know one day we will meet again.
Four Years Gone
It's hard to believe four years have passed, but I know it has because I see picures of Kody celebrating his fourth birthday on Facebook. You would be so proud of him, Sue. Sara is doing a good job with him. I continue to pray that both Sara and Wendy find the happiness they deserve. Mom and I still miss you so much, but we try to concentrate on the happy and funny memories from our times together, which eases the pain of you being gone. I still occasionallly find myself thinking I need to call you to tell you this or that and then have to catch myself from reaching for the phone. Miss you so much. Love you more!
Danna Bridwell
Hi Susie,
Will I guess you know that Danna has joined you and Aunt Betty up there in heaven now. I can just imagine what fun you guys can have up there now that you are all together! The family is all hurting down here with her loss, but we are glad that she is no longer suffering. It gives us all some peace to know you are all pain free and waiting for us to join you one day. Still love and miss you as always, but glad I have this site to come and "sit a spell". You two cousins don't get into too much trouble up there!
