Merry Christmas Mom! Will never be the same without you! Love and miss you every day!
she treated me like family from the beginning and taught me how to crochet
Oct. 3rd was graveside services for you. Oh my, but it was cold that day!....not to mention windy and wet. Was that you that sent that flock of geese overhead? They did not go unnoticed and it must have made you so happy to have Chip finish the job for the nice man that did the actual interment. You would have enjoyed the reception at the church in Sherman. Considering the weather, we had a nice turnout. Sherry has done such a wonderful job of handling all the details. You knew what you were doing when you put her in charge of things. You have always been the glue that held our family together and will always remain an important part or our lives until the day we too come to join you. What the future holds for us kids, only God knows and will be revealed in time but rest assured we will honor your memory, each in our own way, and do our best to make you proud. Love you!!
Mom, today is my birthday. I would sooooo like to have you come and wish me a happy birthday. I want to call you so bad and talk to you, to just hear your voice, hear you tell me happy birthday. I didn't see you or hear your voice last night but did have a dream that I went out to my van and found it loaded with notes and cards wishing me a happy birthday. Did you have something to do with that?? I got your message saying no more tears but I'm afraid I can't do that. I can promise to keep them to a minimum, and promise to move forward with my life, but when my birthday comes around and now with the holidays closing in on us, there will be moments when I simply can't fight the tears. I'm not giving up on getting Sherry up here either. I'm counting on you to help that happen. Once I get her up here, bring Cookie and we can have ourselves quite the pajama party! I"m looking forward to many nights when all of us girls can be together and have a good time. I love you. Please keep in touch!
Mom, You would have been so happy with The Celebration Of Life service that we had for you today. The family & friends that attended meant a lot to us. Renee so wanted to be there today. Linda had her phone on so she could listen to the service. She would have been here if she could. We know that you understand...... You are well loved mom! Not only by your family but friends as well. I miss you every day. Please give Gramps, Russell & Cookie hugs for me. Love you sooo much!
Love, Your daughter, Sherry
Mom, It pained me deeply to not be able to attend today's services but know you understand, and that is all that matters to me. You were a great role model to your children and I promise to honor you by celebrating your life in some way every day. I love you and miss you. This is not goodbye, but so long, as we will surely be reunited again one day. Keep your internet connections open as I will be in here frequently. I LOVE YOU!!! Your loving daughter, Renee
What I remember most about you and chippers mom, was....she was always there.
Mom, Ruth, you will be greatly missed. You loved us and would do anything for those in need. I loved you. I appreciate your doilies and afghans. Love you, Linda and Josh.
Thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.
