I love you mommy.
Love you and miss you
You were the best mother-in-law I could have asked for. Every time we talked on the phone we joked about so many things and I will so miss those calls and your beautiful laugh. I was so glad we saw each other before you passed. I love you and will miss you so much.
Mammaw. I love you so much. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see you before you passed. I’m glad you didn’t suffer for long. Please give Daddy a BIG hug for me! I’m sure your happy to see everyone in Heaven. And I know for a fact the food in Heaven is 100 times better than Sirloin Stockade. I love you to the moon and the stars and I will miss you greatly. Love, Shelby
Berthy, you were quite possibly the most compassionate person I’ve ever known; to have had you as family is a never-again-to-be-duplicated Blessing!! – You will be sorely missed by many! – Godspeed ol’ gal; Godspeed!!
Mom, when it was just you and me we endured and enjoyed many things. Thank you for for my life and your love. Enjoy the celebration!
Mam-maw I want you to know that you are loved and will be missed. I always will carry in my heart our little saying, “And he’s large. And he’s mine.” I love you sooo much!!!
