Hello My Beautiful Sister
You just had your 54 Birthday, and I can't tell you how much I miss seeing you and hearing your laughter whenever we where together. Life has never been the same since you, Debbie & Sherry have been gone. You wouldn't believe how your boy has grown so much. Almost 15 years old. He is a good boy. I wish that Brad and I could of raised him. I know it's what you wanted. I will always try and protect him the best I can. Momma and Don are both getting up there in age and there health isn't the best any more. Brad and I do as much as possible for them as we can. Brad is very good to them both. They will be seeing you soon someday. I know you will be so happy to see our Mommy and Don. But my heart will be broken as it was when I lost you and Deb, Sher. I will take of everything here until it's time for us to join you. And I know you will see your baby Brendan again one day also. All My Love For Eternity

Well sis its been 12 years, since you left us that horrible day Jan 5th 2009. And I have missed you and thought of you everyday. And how much I wish Brendan could of known his mommy. So much has changed over the years. Mostly not for the better concerning our country. Brendan has grown up so fast Mommy and I continue see him when ever we can and momma prays for him non stop. I wish I could have another day with you, so I could tell you how much I loved you and admired you. I know you always thought I was the great big sister that had it all together. But I never really had anything together till I met Brad. You was the strong one with all you had been through ad was always much smarter than me. I always envied you for that. I miss you and love you so very much. This isn't good bye. Just I will see you soon!

My Beautiful Sister Terri. Life seems to be so hectic that I forgot to write to you on the 10 year Anniversary of your passing. But I still have thought of you every single day. I miss all the good times we had going places. We always had the best times. I miss you so much and can't believe it will soon be eleven years. I try and do my best for Brendan. I don't get to see him like I would like and be able to take him places just the two of us. But I know you see I do what I can. And I know you are watching over him all the time. I will always be there for him though like I promised. I love you to the moon and back and know it is hard not having your little Boy with you. I am so proud that you named him after me. He will always be your little Boy but he isn't 2 any more and believe me he makes sure we know he's 13 years old and you would be so proud of him. We keep you in our hearts always.

Sis, Today has been 8 long years since you left us. I want you to know that we miss you everyday. Have so many memories of us as children and how much fun whenever we would go out of town with mommy shopping. How I would always get the two of you laughing so hard you would almost pee your pants. You would be so proud of Brendan, he is getting to be such a big boy. I don't see him as much as I would like. But I hope some day soon that will change. I love you with all my heart and miss you so much. I am so happy that our sisters Debbie and Sherry are with you now. They fought long battles with there breast cancer. And I am happy to say I'm 5 years clean last September. We have had some really bad years lately. I pray that things calm down for awhile now. Hard to believe it has been eight years, sometimes it seems like a life time ago and other days it seems just like yesterday. So happy you are with Jesus. But sad you left us to soon. Thinking of you always. Hugs and love to each of you. Your Sis,
Brenda

Hi Sis you had a Birthday Saturday the 27th, I thought about you alot today and thought how different things would be if you were here. We had a lot of good laughs over the years. I know that you would love to be here and see your son and how he has grown. I know your watching over him, and I will always keep my promise to protect him no matter what I have to do. He is my nephew but in some ways I feel he is my son since I made a promise to always be there for him and watch over him. I do the best that I can. I just wish mommy and I was able to take him and do things with him more, and I know Brendan would love to spend more time with us, he has expressed that and I know you would like that also. We see him when we can. Mommy as you know is getting old and she loves to be able to spend as much time with him as possible, but she doesn't feel good enough to go there like she would like. He is back to school now and he is in 3rd grade. You would be so proud of him just like we all are. Life would be so different if you were her. I love and miss you so much sis. Happy 49th Birthday Terri!
