Mom I miss you so very much as I sit here crying for you especially on the holidays u would make sure you got everyone something going on 2 yrs since you been gone still haven’t begun to believe it I just lie to myself tht ur at wrk I miss ur phone calls and all the little things you use to do for me and all of us miss u calling me just to take ur trash out lol I use to be so mad lol “Adam come take my trash out for me I’m just to damn tired lol” oh man wht I would do to hear u say tht again it definitely doesn’t get easier as the time passes I thing it gets harder for me every time I hear Al Green or Tennessee whiskey my heart breaks for you we sit and laugh sometimes about all the memories you left behind mom I miss you more than life itself till I see u again I love you so much and miss you dearly love ur buddy

Well its been done year without you. Admittedly the hardest year of my entire life!! Not one day nor situation passes that I don't think of you and what you'd do or say!! I still haven't wrapped my mind around any sort of understanding as to why or how this could even possibly be reality! There's most definitely a huge emptiness in my entire being that can never ever be filled! You were and always will be my absolute best friend!! There's no one to call no one who even remotely compares to your level of understanding!! I know your around I just know you are and please never leave! I'm not certain how many more years I'll have to live without you, But I do know that I look forward to the day we meet again!! I pray you've found peace! I pray you've found comfort and I hope your with Kristi and Andy! I know how much you missed them! And that's a fraction of the amount that I miss you! Now I know what you meant when you said ,"You never get over it, you just learn to live with it!" Boy is that the truth!! Mom I could write until my hand's went numb about how much I miss you and how much I love you! I'd give anything to have you back , But that's just not the way it work I guess! Also I'm taking good care of your apple tree! One day your great grandkids will eat from it as you wished!!! I'm working on my green thumb lol! I'm sure it'll never be as green as yours!!! I love you mom!!! I just hate you had to leave so soon!! We always joked about how slow you'd be when you got old and how'd it'd drive me nuts lol!! 1 blueberry....... 2 blueberries lol!! I love you beyond any explanation Baba!!!!

Hey Baba i just turned 18 its was really hard without u there but i pushed through it with the help of mom and nay but i love u so much and cant wait till we meet again. please stay by my side and help me get through my hard times because i feel so lost without u here. sometimes idk what to do but when i watch mom go through her problems and dealing with losing u and seeing how strong she is it really helps me. but i love more than life and i will work hard and live a long and healthy life for u baba i love u.

Mom, you were a blessing to all who knew you. You loved me as your son and you never stopped believing in me. I wish you could be here right now to see God answer your prayers for my freedom. You will forever hold sanctuary in my heart. I’ll never forget you. And I promise to make you proud as you watch over me from heaven. I love you now as I always have, and I miss you even more.
Until we meet again mom, find your peace in his glory and his gift of eternal life!!!!

There is not one single day that has passed that I haven’t thought of you constantly!! Funny things you’d do or say, and then sad thoughts of all the things your not here to see. Life sure has a funny way of doing things! I sure do miss you with every single fiber of my being! I love you Mom!! Forever and ever until we meet again I will forever miss you!
