Missing and thinking about you a little more than usual today. We heard a song that you liked and it brought back memories. We also got to see Nancy and Lisa H. over the weekend. Nancy sure does miss you. We miss you as well as your sweet face, voice, heart and hugs! It is just not the same without you. As you see your beautiful daughter is very happy, it is a true joy to see her in that place permanently. We love you always.

It's a cold but beautiful day out and the sunshine reminded us of you today.
It's warm and happy just like you have always been. Miss you so much as we go through life without you. We love you, sweet sister.

Dear Mel, on this Mother's Day, we just wanted to say how much you have always been admired for taking care of you daughter. She's quite a woman and has a lot of you in her. Just like you, she's a great mom too.
Love you and miss you very much.

Marilyn was the kind of woman you never forget. She was so fun to be around and when I first moved to Tucson, she and Bill became my instant friends. I will never forget the fun gatherings she would host at her home. She spoke many words of wisdom into my life. Marilyn was always talking about her beautiful daughter and grandchildren. And I loved looking at her pictures of all of them. She will always be remembered. Prayers for all of her family and friends that miss her every day.

Dearest Sister Mel
We had a wonderful Christmas this year at a little place in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. It was a bit cold, but you were there with us. Your heart, memory and smile always keeps us warm inside. Everyone there loves your daughter, she is family. Please watch over her with this new year approaching and tell her of the beautiful woman that she and deserves the best of everything in life while she has it. Your grand babies deserve to see her have it as well.
I love and will always miss you, my sweet sister.

Mel you are so missed, we are still waiting for a phone call from you with your sweet and loving voice. God took you from us way too fast and way too soon. You were a special angel sent from Heaven and now you are our angel watching over us. So much love we will always have for each other. Please hug all of our angels up there for us. It gives us solace knowing you and Billy are together again. So much love to you, my beautiful Sister.
