Mom-
Its been one year. I have come to peace with a lot of things but it doesn’t take away the pain and emptiness that has been left. You are an angel looking down on us every day and I hope you are proud.
We love you and miss you mom- Rest in Peace.
SISSY’S SONG BY ALAN JACKSON
Why did she have to go
So young I just don’t know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she’s smiling saying
Don’t worry ’bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she’s smiling saying
Don’t worry ’bout me
It’s hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I’ll cherish
And I won’t cry ’cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she’s smiling saying
Don’t worry ’bout me
Don’t worry ’bout me
Don`t worry ’bout me

Happy New Years mom! Bruce and I just returned from Orlando and had so much fun! Can you believe it we actually paid to see ICE! ha ha The hotel was beautiful and the night was great. But you already know this cause I’m sure you were watching over all three of us making sure we were ok. I missed calling you at midnight and you grumbling cause I woke you up. lol I can’t believe you left us over seven months ago. Barb, Christine, Jennie and Sonja miss you so much too, we all sit and cry. Normally I start it though, oh well thats what friends are for right?! Well it’s time for me to get ready for work tomorrow, ick.
I love you and miss you so much mom!!! REST IN PEACE!!

Mom,
Sorry I didn’t get here at Christmas but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. Scott and I cried Christmas morning and then we both laughed when I told the story about our last tree hunting experience when you almost fell in that big hole! hee hee Christmas wasn’t the same this year, we all missed your presents and your phone calls. I hope your Christmas in Heaven was everything you wished.
I still have my good days and my bad days but Bruce is always there with a shoulder and open arms. I really wish you could have met him, I think brother approves. New years is on Thursday and I hope 2009 is better that 2008, cause I can’t take another year like this! I still sleep with your blanket you made for Drew, but it doesn’t smell like you anymore.
Well mom I’m going to do your favorite pass-time here on earth…NAP TIME! Hee Hee
I miss you mom. RIP

Mom,
It’s been almost 7 months to the day that you left this earth and the hole in my heart will never heal. Day to day life is not getting any easier. You were such a wonderful mother and person that it pains my deeply that you are no longer here to share life and to be silly with. Your Springer is being taken care of (Do they have Harleys in Heaven?)
We all greatly miss you over this somber holiday season, and I would personally do anything to have you back again. You lived a good life and did some great things both in a helping capacity and still had time to have an exciting recreational agenda. However, you were still too young to go.
I hope you are keeping everyone in line up there but still having fun. I miss you soo much! When you died, so did a big part of me.
Please give me the strength to get through this and and Give Nana a hug for me when you see her (she has something for you too (ask your Daughter)
Merry Christmas (Sorry its on your house this year as promised, but I hope that I can make that up to you.
Say hi to the Big Guy for me and keep him in check too! I know you can!
Forever heartbroken — Scott Parrett
Continue to watch over us all and keep us in check.. I can’t wait to see you again!!

Happy Birthday mom! You should be celebrating at Wallys tonight with Jim. Jim put balloons at the highway so everybody knows it was your Birthday. I miss you mom. I still wonder how I will ever get through this and how much I need you here. I know you won’t miss anything, even when you should, because you are always watching over me. I love you and will be sending hugs with Nana when you get to you.

Mom,
Words cannot express how much we all missed you on the 4th, it just wasn’t the same. It was just another day. The emptiness still lingers but each day that passes, we learn to manage the pain a little better. I am finding out, there will never be closure and I will never get “better”, just learn to live with the pain of not having you here. Your memories will live on forever and you will never be forgotten by anyone!
I love you and miss you!!

I was so sorry to hear of Linda’s death. We rode the school bus together many years ago and I remember her as a very pretty, kind, pleasant natured girl. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I met Linda back in the 80’s when she was visiting her brother, Robert Gumbert in San Bernadino California. She was a wonderful person and it was indeed a pleasure to have met her. I was very sad to hear of her death. My prayers go out to all of her survivors.
