I miss you as much today as the day we lost you. I love you and miss you to my core. Life is NOT the same without you.

It's been almost 4 years now since you left me but I'm still as lost today as I was the day you left. Time isn't making things easier.... It only seems harder and I feel so turned inside out without u. If only heaven had visiting hours. I love u my rock, my mentor, my friend and my safe place to always land. I miss u eternally.

Here it is a little after 5 am and yet I lay here with a heavy heart and you walking through my mind. I can't even begin to put into words how much I miss you and long to hear your voice. You very rarely agreed with anything I did, nor did we always see eye to eye, but you were and always will be the true definition of unconditional love. I miss that, your smile and your advice. I even miss rolling your hair as we watched tv. I pray heaven truly holds all the happiness you were looking forward to. Tell Grandaddy I look forward to one day meeting him and Mama Hayes to have my candy corn ready when the time comes. As for those two look alike angels you gave birth to, tell the one that gave birth to me I have missed her EVERYDAY that shes been gone and that she took part of me with her. Tell her mirrored image that I miss her too and am so very grateful for taking the time and energy it took to take on what can only be called SHAWN. I love them both and they have BOTH always been my mom. While your passing out all this love, give yourself the most and the biggest hug. I love and miss you always my rock

Grandmother I am so far beyond broken right now and wish you were here to put your arms around me and just love me like you always have. I am so sorry I cant be there to give you the love and respect you deserve. Honestly I didn't mean to disappoint you my whole life and once again in death. GOD HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS? I have lost my playmate and friend. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. I can never say it enough. Part of me went with you. Please be my angel like mama daddy and peggy and give me the strength to go on cause i have nothing else to give. Make sure you roll your hair every night and know I will be there to do it for you one day. GOD PLEASE TAKE CARE OF HER

Our hearts are so sad at the passing of Ms.Reba. It was truly a honor for mom to be her roommate for the past 2 years plus. We came to love Ms.Reba as our own family. Susie and family we are praying for you .May God Bless and keep you.
Love , Doris & Pam
