Please know you are all in my thoughts. I miss her already.
Hey Mommy, I keep thinking I need to call and tell you things about my day, but you are no longer on the other end of the phone. I miss you terribly, say “hi” to Daddy and Cody. Love you all lots.
Missing you and Daddy like crazy. Haven’t quite been able to grieve yet. I’m mostly angry theses days that you are gone so soon. But at least you both are at peace.love y’all
Miss y’all
Three hard years, when does it get easy? Wish I had more time!!!!
Well, 4 years now. Still lost and confused. You and I were making arrangements to fix the house and get ready for my NY departure but you went to sleep two weeks early. God needed you more than we did to look after us from above. If only one more chance. Love you and Daddy
Been five years already and it seems literally like yesterday. Still feeling lost and empty. Thought I would be out this funk by now but seems to get worse. Missing you like crazy. Love you forever.
