RIP Wanda you will be missed
Always in our Hearts
Deepest condolences to the Miller family.
Wanda will be missed and loved forever. My heart hurts for all her family. She had the kindest caring nature within her. She was one special lady and cannot be replaced.
Mom, it has been along time since I have come to this site! I talk to your candle when I have lit it or just start talking to you when I sense you around me! Growing up, I know I was the real pain in your butt, but I guess I just wasn’t really feeling you loved me because I wasn’t your daughter! All I ever wanted was love and I truly felt you hated me because you said I reminded you of her! Mom, I really never knew her. You raised me from 5 years old to the day you left us! You weren’t my mother but you were my MOM! You know I never thought you and I would get as close as we did those last few years. No one will ever know how close, you were also like that older sister I never had growing up. We could talk about anything with each other. Even when we got upset with each other, give it some time and we talked it out and told each other how we felt. God Mom, I miss you so bad, I’m sorry I wasn’t there much toward the end! My feelings got so hurt, when I got told about people saying I wasn’t your daughter, you only had one daughter and that was Tammy! Why, why did they praise me for taking care of you with your doctors and stuff, driving you to Texas before something happened to one of you! Well, I found out what was meant when I was told by someone special in this family, IF YOU AIN’T BLOOD…YOU AIN’T SHIT! He was right when you got put into the nursing home and never came back home, I wasn’t nothing to them, wasn’t needed anymore! I still paid your bills like you told me to do, even tho it was said I was stealing from you. Wrong Mom! Donnie and Penny checked and I would never hurt you like that Mom. I LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL! It hurt to be told what was said about me and this family was the only family I truly ever knew. Not my Dads and not my Mothers, your family. Mom I hope your enjoying no pain or hurt and back in the arms of Dad. Someday soon I hope to be with all of you. Thank you so much for finally showing me the love I always wanted from you and thank you for not only being my Mom, but like my best friend and sister combined!I LOVE YOU MOM
