You left us over 3 years ago and it still hurts so bad and I miss you more than ever. The old house sits there empty since papaw left us, but my heart is so full of the wonderful memories you left with me. I wish you could have seen Madison, but I tell her about you all the time. She saw a picture of you the other day and ask who you were. Now when she sees it she knows exactly who it is. You would be so proud of Hunter too. He is growing up to be such a wonderful young man. He talks about you all the time and he misses you so much too. I wish so badly I could hug or see you one more time, but I hug you everyday in my heart. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MAMAW!!!!!
LOVE FOREVER
CATHY
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MAMAW!!! Another year has passed, but you were with me every step of the way. I pass your house almost every day and I don’t know whether to smile or cry. I just miss you so much. I still tell Hunter and Madison stories about you all the time. It makes you feel closer when I talk about you. The old house has changed, but my heart will never change. I still see you there!! I just wanted to say I Love You and Happy Mother’s Day Mamaw!!
My thoughts and prayers are
with you at this time. May good memories always fill the
void in your lives. Rejoice
in knowing that her sickness
and pain is no more.
Special love to Tomilene.

My prayers go out to the family. I will miss her, she had a great since of humor.I pray esp. for Cindy that she may have the strength to grieve without guilt.
I miss you so much Mamaw, and not a day passes that I don’t think of you. You left me with so many wonderful and loving memories and I loved you so much and always will. I just wasn’t ready to let you go. I will hold you close to my heart until I see you again. I LOVE YOU MAMAW,
