Still missing you mom.

Still the ONE !

Thirteen years, miss you so much Mom....

Five years, still miss you so much FaFa.
John

It's been a year and I still miss you more than I can say. I love you, Mom. I still can't believe it.

Fafa-

You will be missed more than you could of ever imagined. It still seems so unreal to me.

You were the root of our family and it is not the same. I will make sure that we all keep in touch and watch after each other since I know that would be something you would want.

Thank you so much for blessing my life the way you did. I definitely would not be the person I am today without your guidance and unconditional love. You loved me and nurtured me just as a mother would and I thank you for that. I hope that I am able to do the same for my children.

Hayden and Hudson already miss you but know that you are safe in heaven. We plan on carrying on some of your traditions to keep a little piece of you always.

There will not be a day that goes by that I won't think of you and how much I loved you.

I am so happy for you because I know that you are in an awesome place and so happy. I know that we will be together again and until then I will hold on to memories and share them.

I love you with all of my heart
Laurie

Grandma,
While time is the only way to mend my saddness, I smile and thank you for giving my mother your radiant smile. When I see her smile, I see you too.
She gave me this same smile that I in turn have given to my precious oldest daughter, Taylor.

While you are not here in body, your spirit lives in us all. I watch my daughter love the little creatures in my trees, pick my flowers, plant seeds, paint, do crosswords, read books and so many other things that remind me of you. I watch her give kind glances to complete strangers and bring smiles to their faces.
These are some of the most precious memories and gifts you gave us that we will carry all of the days of our lives.

You are with us in so many ways. When I am trying to think of the right words to say or the right thing to do, you are in my mind giving me guidance to be the best I can be. You are such an example of how I want to live my life and how I want my daughters to live theirs. I close my eyes and see you in my heart and I am glad you will be there forever with me.

My deepest love,

Kerry

I don't think I ever thought this day would come. I thought that you would be here forever... I hoped. I am so thankful to have been loved by you. I will always remember the summers that I spent at your house with Lee and Kevin. (Thank God for your patience. I know we were quite the trio!) Those were the best times of my life. The park, the river, movies, the "Garden", cheese sandwiches and no worries. I will never forget when I lost you in Wal-Mart and had them page "FaFa" to the customer service desk. People probably thought we were weirdos!! I remember you laughing so hard. I was embarrassed of course. I loved every second that I got to spend with you. I am so lucky. I just know that my Gramma Bargamin was waiting for you when you got to Heaven. I can only imagine how excited she was to see you!! She just adored you. I take comfort in knowing that the two of you are together now. I love you more than words can describe and I know that I told you that every chance that I had. For that I am so thankful. Thank you for just being you. I know that you are watching over me now- I will make you proud- I promise. I love you so much. Thank you for everything you have done for our whole family. You are a true angel. That never went unnoticed. I will see you when I get there. I can’t wait for that day! I LOVE YOU!


P.S. Thank you for helping Grandfather with his breathing. He says his breathing is the best that it has been in years.

FaFa...one day I will find you again. You were the sweetest, most loving person I have known.We had many, many good times and I will miss you more than I can say. My wish would be to have you back here again forever.If anyone deserves Heaven, it is surely you and I know you are with Grandy, Momaw,Russ and Carl.Sickness and death do not have a place where you are now.
You make me look forward to Heaven.
Your loving son
Johnnie

Your acts of kindness have been such a comfort to our family and we thank you.

Our mom, Grandma, "Fa Fa", "Sis"... has never given us anything but her very best in every situation. So far as I can see, there is not one person who ever went to her with any type of want or need and came away empty handed.

I am not sure any of us in this family will every have another person love us so unconditionally. She knew us well, knew our faults and weaknesses and yet continued to look for the good; never failing to remind us that great things were truly within each of us.

Grandfather, you were the luckiest man I know. 65 years with this wonderful lady. She will never leave you. Thank you for asking her out on that very first date. Had you not had the wisdom to take that step, all our lives would be different. We love you and will aways be here for you.

"Johnnie" you have been the brightest spot in her days over these last months. She certainly was proud of you. The funny thing is... she never attributed your greatness to the love she invested in you. Her humble spirit just made it almost impossible for her to acknowledge her contribution, but I believe that deep down she knew it.

Barbie... you were her best girlfriend... what an honor.
You are so like her in many ways, and that is comforting. We are going to need to be with you more than ever. I love you so much.

Laurie, you believe FaFa was a blessing to you but I think she would say it was the other way around. One of her greatest joys was to see you happy. She will always watch over you, of this I am sure.

To all the grandchildren:
FaFa/Grandma loved you all so much.
She left here with hopes and dreams in her heart for all of you and if you fulfill any of those then she has not hoped in vain. I am going to challenge each of you to work your hardest to pick out one admirable trait of hers to imitate for your life. Whether its to remain silent when you are tempted to speak too quickly, or to walk away from gossip, or to practice kindness, remember her... honor her by imitating her. Feed squirrels, talk to the birds, be nice to strangers, be meek, be humble, look for the good in others...love. and then a part of her will always still live on this earth... its the only way. We owe her that. Just because shes not here doesn't mean she can't see us. Please continue to make her proud.

Uncle Bobby and B.B.- As she recounted the many sweet stories from her childhood, you guys and Russell were the heroes. How blessed you are to have watched her grow up. You are special to all of us.

What a beautiful person, inside and out. How fortunate we have been, friends and family alike, to have known her.

Described today as the "consummate southern lady" and "a class act" she was to me, simply Fa Fa. The only woman who could possibly love my husband and children as much as I do, and a person who shared in my every joy and sorrow over the last 28 years. I will miss you FaFa but I know that just as the Lord brought us together on earth, He will be sure we are together again in Heaven.
THANK YOU for everything!!!! I will love you forever, Les

Out thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. We love you so much!

John, Leslie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mrs. Treaster's passing. She was a true lady and someone I very much enjoyed talking to over the years. The first time that I ever met Taylor, it was at her house. I know she will be greatly missed and I extend my deepest sympathies to your family.

My Prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.

Dear Barb...I just learned this morning that your mom had passed away..I am so sorry for your loss..Please,know you're in my thoughts..

Love,
Linda P.
