Dear Mom, I know you can sense just how much I miss you. I feel so lost not having you here in person. It really hurts alot. I still can't believe that you are gone, I miss you more and more every day. I do believe it is YOU that I have shared some amazing hummingbird experiences with and I want to Thank you for visiting me as much as you do. I am truly blessed that you are still such a gigantic part of my life. I will never forget you and I am so honored to be GAGI JR. Thank you for being the Best Mother in the whole world. All my love, Pam (hummingbird #7)

Dear Mom,

It's been awhile had to track you down. They removed your listing, I had to talk them into reinstalling your information, hope you like it.

Well, how's Dad? Together in Heaven, now isn't that Heaven! We miss both of you with each passing day. I can tell you this, you would be proud of your girls. Each one has taked a part of you and we as a family continue to enjoy all your special treats. Mom, your girls have worked hard to duplicate your receipes, you can be proud. Your treats will never be the same, but very close is just what you ordered.

Gene has taken on the job of PAPA2 and he's doing PAPA proud.

Mom, need to tell you your love has touched each one of us individually and as the MAG 7. Your visits as a hummingbird are very thoughtful on your part. Seeing you through a hummingbird helps heal our hearts of your passing. Mom even in death you guide us each day. Your memory will never be forgotten.

You probably heard by now, I've found that special gal you always told me I'd fine. I can't thank you enough for your help. Her name is Cindi and she is the love of my life. I'm married 6 months 2-18-05 and going strong!

Untill we meet again, your loving son, Bobby

AKA...MUB...Sib2

PS. Give Dad a hug from the MAG 7

Dear Mom,



I miss you so much it hurts. But this pain gets less intense as the days pass by. I am so happy for you that dad has joined you 9 months after you. I know you are both very happy and your physical bodies have left us, but I feel your spirits with me every day. You both have still guided me since you have left and I know you always will. I just really miss our conversations. Even the ones where you were trying to teach me right from wrong.



Keep in touch with your Magnificent 7 as you have been, it keeps us on our toes.



Love Your Macaroni Baby Laurie Jean XOXOXOXO
