I love you mawmaw! I see more of you in myself every day. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.. ya mean ole “ding bat” as pawpaw would say lol. I came to see you guys 2 months ago right before I got covid. I left a letter but it was sprinkling and wet out but I’m sure you guys knew what it said right as I was writing it. I can’t wait to be with y’all again. I’ve tried & tried to have a relationship with people, a love, like you guys showed me but nothing will ever compare. I am thankful for my wife and her family, they try to show me the love I need to get through this life without you both. See you in my dreams :’’’’)
Maw Maw and Paw Paw,
I miss you both SO much. But I know you know that. You guys are with me all the time and keep reminding me you’ll always be here. Thank you for that. Paw Paw, I hope you enjoyed my wedding and the tribute dance I saved for you. Ayden did such a great job helping me with it. I’ll never stop thinking about that moment. I know I talk to yall all the time but I’ll continue to ask for prayers for my health as its not so great right now. I talk about yall to the kids a lot. Braylen has questions and wish he could have met you two. Ayden still gets emotional but we like to talk about you to keep our memory good. I joined some ancestry sites and I’m finding a lot out about both of yalls sides of the family. I’m learning a lot tonight. I hope I find more. I took the DNA test tonight. I send it in tomorrow for the results which is exciting! I’ll have to let yall know the results as soon as I get them! I love you Maw Maw. I love you Paw Paw.
Well here we are October 2017. Your birthday is tomorrow, you would’ve been 76 years old. It’s been 7 years already since you left us and went to be with Daddy. The only way my heart can even take it, is just knowing that you are much happier being with Daddy. I sure wish you both could’ve been here to see our grandbabies and how special they are. Ayden has a kind heart like you Daddy.
It’s just mind boggling to think about how long its been since we lost you both.
9 years for Daddy and 7 for Mama. I would do anything to be able to spend 1 hour with you both just to see and talk to you one last time! We love you and miss you more everyday! Love you both more than life….. Happy Birthday to you both. Daddy Oct 8th, 1934, Mama Oct 25th, 1941.
Dear Daddy & Mama,
It seems like an eternity since I last saw you. I miss you both so much. I drive by the cemetery everyday going to and from work. I think of you each and everyday! Life has surely changed since you guys have been gone. Mostly not for the best, but it is what it is. I should’ve listened to what you told me years ago mama-I’d be a lot better off today for sure. If only I could turn back time and know what I know now. My life would’ve been VERY different and I would have made some different & better choices than what I did. But, you live and learn. What don’t kill you makes you stronger, right? Well we shall see.
Watch over all of us, as I know you do. We love and miss you and always will.
I love you mawmaw! Im trying to buy a house near you and pawpaw so I can come see you guys more often. I love you sooo soo soooooooo much and still think about you every day and miss your cooking. I wish I would have written down more recipes not just the chocolate boiled cake one <3333333
Its been 3 years since you passed away. Seems like an eternity. I hope you and Daddy are happy together. We all love and miss you everyday.
Grandbabies are everywhere now!
I sometimes picture daddy sitting in his recliner with them climbing all over him! He would be SO happy!
Miss you both! Love you!
Kristin,
Make sure you make them proud everyday! We will always miss them. My heart hurts each year when May 28th & Aug 2nd roll around. Those were the worst days of our lives. All we can do now is try to live good lives and make them proud. Hope to see you soon. Love you!
Aunt Candy
Maw Maw i miss you so much. Not a day goes bye I don’t think about you and paw paw. I love you and always will. Rest in peace.
Happy Anniversary Mama and Daddy! It would have been 52 years of marriage today. I’m glad you can now celebrate together.
Our “family” life is not so great anymore, as you know. So, whatever happens, happens.
We will all see you again one day.
We love and miss you everyday.
We’ll always miss them Amber! Just remember they both are looking down on you, Ayden and now our soon to be “Braylen Makai”. Paw Paw always wanted the best for you. I think he would have really liked Joey. Joey has a good heart and good moral values, thats hard to find these days. Just remember, you have to bend a little sometimes and not argue over petty things that don’t really matter in the end.
You are a very good mother to Ayden and I know Paw-Paw is proud of you for that and so am I (started out a little rocky those first couple of years!). Ayden LOVES you and he has turned out to be such a sweet, loving little boy. I hope Brayden is as well mannered and sweet as he is.
To mama & daddy;
We love and miss yall everyday. I know you are both happy to be together now. We work hard to make sure Ayden will never forget you (as I promised you). Everynight when he says his prayers, he tells you he loves and misses you. We talk about you alot with him. Ayden told me a couple of times that he talked to Paw Paw when he was asleep. I truly believe this was you, daddy.
Watch over all of us and we will see you again one day.
Love you!
I love you MawMaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still think about you EVERYDAY and love you oh so muchhh. Tell PawPaw I love him, but I know he hears it from me every night
Cant wait to see my 2 favorite people again one day! Dont be making any of that country food without me! I miss it so much. Fast food is really getting on my nerves and no one can make buscuits like you MawMaw, and I still cant find anyone to make homemade mac and cheese as good as you PawPaw. Love you both soooooo much. Please watch over me, ayden and the new baby. I know you’ll be with me when she is born. Kisses!
Sherri, I’m so sorry for the passing of your Mother. I know there will always be an empty place in your heart for her. Just pray, for God is the only one that can give you peace.
Love, Patsy
Now “Conway” can sing to Marilyn every day and night. She really did love his singing. I use to do Marilyn, Marsell & Gwens hair in my little beauty shop in Bratt.
Praying for you all and love you.
