I miss you so much Mom. I hope you hear me talking to you every night. I'm going to teach Caleigh "Now I lay me down to sleep..." so she can talk to you, too. During the day, I think of all the good times we had together. Thanks for taking me to dance class all those years, and for the treats after class. I laugh at the time I had the big, green frozen fly in my sundae. Remember? You laughed so hard about that for years. I still say "yuck".



My world is so empty without you. All my love to you and Dad.



Love, Nancy (The Baby)

I miss that most of all. You're not here to call me that anymore.

You've left a gaping hole in our hearts. We miss you terribly. Boogar says your lap better be ready for him when he gets there. Thank you for a lifetime of memories, especially the laughs. We love and miss you, old hillbilly Mudder. But I've got your toothpicks!

My grandmother was a wonderful person. She taught me many things. I'll never forget riding the "EL" train with her for the first time. I will miss her very much.
