Mother, it's a rainy day today and I always miss you so much more. You and I always enjoyed the rainy days as long as there were no storms.
I miss you so very much, I don't think it will ever get any better. You were just so much a part of my every day, it's hard to get through them.
You would have another great great grandbaby, Sandi had a little boy named Talon on May 11. And Delois is about to have two grandbabies in the next 7 months, so there would be 2 more for you. They will never really know the love they are missing from you.
I don't know exactly what happens after death, but I know that wherever you are, God is taking care of you. We can all only hope to be the Christian that you were.
I love you!

Well, Mother, we sure did miss you at Thanksgiving. All of my kids and grandkids were here, you and Daddy would have enjoyed this so much. Angie made the dressing, and it was pretty close to yours, I wish I had paid more attention now when you fixed it. I think everyone enjoyed the visit. I love you so much and miss you every day of my life.
Well Mother, it is almost Thanksgiving and almost time for me to try once again to make yourfamous dressing for the turkey. It never tastes like yours, you just had a magic touch. It's so lonely without you here for the holidays. You always looked so forward to all the kids being here and you worked so hard cooking and cleaning. I wish you could know that I think about you so many times every day and regret that I didn't do more for you. I love you so much.
Mother,
Missing you so much right now. Cami had twins in July, and we are just so sorry they missed your love. You would be proud, she named them Joseph Tyler after Daddy and Pa, and the little girl she named Ragan Rebecca. They are so precious and would have loved you just like the other grandkids did. We are just sad that you never got to know you have namesakes. I still miss you every day, today is rainy and I know how you loved rainy days. I try real hard to convince myself that I was lucky to have you until your were 94, but if only I could have known and not left the house. I know you would want us to go on and be happy, because that's what you told me about when your Mother died. But you were the sunshine for our family. I love you so much.
Mother,
This will be the second Mother's Day without you. I see the cards and flowers in the store, and I want so badly to buy you one. It was always so much fun to buy just anything for you, because you were excited over even the smallest gift that someone got you. Last year on Mother's Day, we all went to Stephanie's and all of my kids, grandkids and the great grandbaby went to Church with me. It was a day you would have enjoyed with all the family there. I love you so much and miss you more than you can imagine. Whereever we are on that day, your memory will be in our hearts.
