I don't know if words would do my mom justice. She helped raise her brothers and sisters at a young
age, and left home around the same time. She raised 5 children, more if you count all the friends we
brought around, and the grandchildren she helped care for.
Mom thought the most important thing she ever did was care for her children. We are her pride, her
joy, and her legacy. We are so proud to be her children. There is more to know about Mom...and we
will add it slowly.
Mom was diagnosed with an oral cancer in mid 2003, and was given three months. She went through
chemo, radiation, again and again until finally, in 2005, she won her victory. Her death was perhaps
one of the most beautiful events I have ever had the honor of attending. Her last breath was
preceded by her opening her eyes and looking at my father for the first time in days. Not blankly,
but seeking him out. Before we left her for the last time, Dad thanked her for his girls and for
their life together. Amazing, and what an honor.
Hi Mommy! I am so proud to say that. You are my mommy, and I love you.
Carolyn shared some pictures of you from Papaw's funeral. God, you made an incredible woman! Your strength was amazing Mom. No one there knew how sick you were. No one knew what was going on.
Mom, I have some of the answers I always searched for. I know how to stop some of the cycles. I just feel weak at times and I don't want to have to do it. But then I think about how hard you fought, and I get some of that strength back.
Thank you for watching over us. But more than that...thank you for taking care of my children. You know the truth, and I know how busy you are. Please tell them all how much I love them. Tell the first two how sorry I am, but I know they are much better off with Him. Please kiss my sons and let them know that I will never be ok unless they are ok.
I look for feathers and signs, but there are none. I want to know that you are all ok.
I love you, Mom. I miss your company. I miss talks on the backporch. I miss drives to the store. I just miss you.
Hi Mom...
I am not doing so well. I think that losing Jonah might have just sent me over the edge. Angela and Dad told the girls they don't need counselling, but neither has any idea of what's really going on. I feel like I can't trust anyone IRL besides Joe...I'm tired of being the one carrying everyone's sorrow, but when I try to express my own, I'm being told the right/wrong way to do it.
I hope you have the boys. I need to know that. Please tell Jonah I'm so sorry, and I hope he's ok. I'm coming for him and Marshall one day.
I'm really just tired, and I miss you.
Needing you now and always.
I wonder what you'd think of the woman I've become. You left here when I was pregnant with Reagan. Since then, we've lost two boys, Summer's going to do 4th, Emma's in 2nd, and Reagan's going to pre K. I wonder what you'd be like...it really sucks that last memories of you have to be owned by cancer. But I count myself as being blessed to have been there to watch you draw your last breath, Mom. I just miss you. So many things have gone wrong, then right, and wrong again...but in the end, they'll be ok. I just wish I had your strength right now. I love you!

Thank you
Mom,
Our sons are now blessed, and are with you. You did so much for us in life, but in death, would you care for my sons? I think Marshall's my quiet one, and Jonah is my rock and roller ;) Your girls did great today...Summer's so sensitive. Emma's got a fabulous sense of humor, but is SO much more sensitive than even I was. Reagan is...well...Reagan, but I suspect you know her better than I do.
I love you, and I feel so much better than I did yesterday. So...thanks.
I love you Mommy!
