I miss you / Donna (Daughter)
Mama I am missing you so much. I would give anything to just hear your voice or touch you just one more time. I think about you all the time. I would love to be able to talk to you again. I have so much I would love to tell you. Me and Kristi go to Daddy's 4 or 5 times a week and are trying to take care of him for you but it will never be the same as you no matter what we do. I miss you so much that I wonder if it will ever get any easier without you ..I really don't think it will because it hasn't yet. I will be with you again one day in Heaven . Kiss Ashton for me. I love you "Murmie". Close
Missing you So Much / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Mama The past few days have been terrible for me. I miss you so much. I cannot stop crying. I have cried myself to sleep every night for the past 3 nights. (Yes I am still a crybaby.) I love you so much. I just want to touch you kiss you and tell you how wonderful and beautiful you are. You were the best mama in the whole world the best friend a little girl could ever have. I miss you and love you so much. Close
and all the many other things I hold so dear in my heart,-------what I wouldn't give. I miss you so much.
Amber moved into her very first apartment of her own a couple of weeks ago and how it broke my heart that you was not here to share that joy with her. That was a big milestone in her life and one that she would have loved to share with you. After all you were and still are her role model.
Life has not been the same for us these last 11 months and it never will be until we join you in Heaven. I am just so glad we have some very precious memories to hold on to.
My Shining Star / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Precious Mama, Oh, how I miss you. It has been 10 months today. In one way, it seems like yesterday, and in another it seems like forever. None of us are the same without you. Everyday, there are so many things I think I need to tell you and share with you. You know, just the little things that made us laugh together. I miss that. We spent a lot of good times together and made many wonderful memories that I will always cherish, and for that I am thankful. I feel like out time here on earth was cut short but I know that one day I will be with you forever. I love you and miss you. 7-7-09 Close
I just got home from daddy's and he really misses you. He planted a garden this year for you. You taught him well. His garden is beautiful. He said, "I sure wish mama was here to see it" and I know he does. He knows how much you loved your garden. I never realized how heartbroken anybody could be until you were gone. We all are just so lonely without you but I am glad we have the peace and assurance that we will be reunited one day. I love you and miss you so much.
Today, I know you are rejoicing more than usual. Connie made the journey to Heaven this morning about 6 am. The last time I set beside her in church, I told her that I missed you so much I could hardly stand it and she told me that it wouldn't be long before we saw you again. I miss you so much mama. I love you.
Happy Mother's Day / Donna (Daughter)
Happy Mother's Day Mama. I miss you so much. I thought that our first Thanksgiving and Christmas was hard without you but this is by far the worst day so far. I told Kristi that it was harder for me than all the other days. It hurts so much that I can't even explain how I feel. I love and miss you my "Murmie". I know that you are in heaven and I will see you again one day but it just hurts so much. I love you. Close

Happy Mother's Day 2009 / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Mama, I never dreamed that I would spend this Mother's Day without you. The pain in my heart and the void in my life is more than I can ever explain to anybody. I miss you so much. I told daddy today that it seems to get harder every day. Everybody always says that the "firsts" of everything will be the hardest. You know, my heart always went out to the people who lost their mother but never in my life did I know just how hard it would be. I know that if you could tell me just one thing, you would tell me that you are in Heaven, the place where you lived your whole life to be and you would not choose to come back even if you could. But even though I know that it does not lessen my pain. I miss you so much. I am so thankful for all the great memories I have. I love you.
Missing you / Donna (Daughter)
Dearest Mama...I miss you so much especially now that it is spring time. I know this is your favorite time of year. Daddy is planting the garden and it makes us all so sad because we know how much you loved your garden. Daddy also put up your humming bird feeder so we can watch for your humming birds. It just don't seem fair that you are not here to see it and work with daddy in the garden. I know it is not meant for us to understand why but I sure do miss you. Thank God I know that I will see you again one day and I can't hardly wait to see My Jesus and you and Ashton. I love you so much Mama. Me and Kristi and Lanny are trying to take care of Daddy for you but he misses you so much too. Well I love you My Murmie. I miss you so much but it makes me feel some better just knowing I will be with you again someday. I love you always. April 29, 2009 Close
Dearest Mama, I can't believe that you have been gone for 6 months, it seems like only yesterday. I miss you so much every day. I wish that I could just hear your voice or hear you laugh just one more time. I would love to see you sitting in your chair when I go to Daddy's but I know that you are in heaven and I know that I will see you again someday but it doesn't make me miss you any less. I think about you all the time and I never knew it was possible to miss someone so much. I love you so much. I just want to hug you and kiss you and tell you how much I do love you. Mama it is so hard just being without you. It will be your birthday soon and I wish I could tell you Happy Birthday "Murmie". My life will never be the same with you gone, nothing will ever be the same. Sometimes it is just to much to even see your picture because all I can do is cry. I love you Mama. Kiss Ashton for me and I will see you both some day soon. March 7, 2009
Missing You / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Mama, I have had a hard couple of days. Every day is hard but it just seems like some days are harder than others. We had our first snow Sunday and Monday. I always remember the snow days when we were little, they way you always made sure we had some snow cream to eat. I know it is going to be Spring soon and we always worked in your flowers in spring. There was always something new you wanted every year. I am really dreading your birthday this year. It will be your first birthday in Heaven and my first without you in 47 years. I really miss you. There is so much I want to tell you. I talked to Connie Sunday on the phone. We found out about 3 weeks ago that she has cancer. She really misses you. My heart breaks for her and for Debbie. I know exactly where Debbie is and I only hope I can be there for them the way they were for us when you were sick. You and Connie were friends for many many years. I know that you are in a much better place now but that does not make it any easier for me. I would just love to talk to you one more time and have you hug me and hear you say "I love you". My life is so much different and so lonely without you. I love you and miss you. 3-3-09 Close
I Miss You / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Mama, I miss you so much. Seems like I have missed you more in the last week that ever. It has been one week ago today since we had to bury Wayne. I cannot believe that my big brother is gone too. But I have to find peace in my heart in believing he is with you, Ashton and Michael. He missed you so much mama. The last night that he was able to talk to anybody down here was Christmas night. He told daddy that he would give anything to see you again. I hope you are hugging him tight right now. Daddy is really having a hard time, honestly we all are but we are trying to be strong for each other. It is so hard. I told Connie yesterday at church how much I missed you. She told me that it wouldn't be long before we saw you again. I hope it won't. There are so many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and call you. There are things that happen and I think to myself "I can't wait to tell mama." I will tell you someday. I love you with all my heart and there is never a minute that you are not on my mind. I miss you. Love Kristi 1-19-2009 Close
My Sunshine / Kristi (Daughter)
Dear Mama, It has been 4 months today since you went to Heaven and I am missing you so much right now. There is so much I would love to be able to talk to you about. I know one thing for sure, a daughter never ever gets to old to need her mama. Today has been so hard for me. Just knowing that until I see you in Heaven I will never be able to talk to you again. I miss you so so much. I love you. Close

Merry Christmas Mary 1st one in Heaven / Rhonda Rhodes Craig Sehon's Mom (friend to Kristi )
Kristi, I know this Christmas was very hard for you and your family. We have to remember that our loved ones are now in a most wonderful place of peace joy and health. No sickness, no afflictions, just the Love of the Father. My heart goes out to you and your family as you in such a short time had to say goodbye to, two very precious loved ones.
Know that my prayers and thoughts are with you often Kristi. God will continue to make you strong.
Love, Your Friend
I created this graphic from a picture of a Daisy I took last year. The Daisy is my favorite flower and I love this shot that I took. So somehow as feeble as it is, I hope it will find its way into your heart and bring to you the peace and love I want you to experience in Christ! I am mere human and without power but there is One that can touch your heart and bring healing.
Missing you / Donna (Daughter)
Well here it is Christmas Eve and I miss you so very much. My heart is just breaking remembering you now. I love you so much. It is going to be so hard this year without you but, Thank God I have the rest of the family to help me. Merry Christmas Murmie. I love you and miss you so much. Close
Here it is three days before Christmas and my heart gets heavier with grief with each passing day. I miss you so much mama. I know you will have a far better celebration in Heaven than we will have here. You will be with the reason for the season. I know you have Ashton in your arms and Michael by the hand and you are so happy. I love you so very much and miss you more every day. I love you mama. Merry Christmas. Kristi

Wonderful Lady / Gail Poplin (family friend )
What do you say about someone who always made you feel like family- even though you were not. Who made your children feel special and loved like only a grandmother could- even though she was not their grandmother. How can you express the thanks to a person that opened up her home and heart to so many not because she was the preacher's wife but because it was the right and only thing to do. Mary did all those things and so much more. She was special to us and we miss her. I hope to pass on the kindness she showed all of us to those in need. I know my life has been fuller by having Mary a part of it. She was a wonderful lady. Gail Close
Missing you / Donna (Daughter)
Well Mama we made it through Thanksgiving. It was so hard. It was even harder than I ever thought it would be. I started crying as soon as Daddy started to ask the blessing. I felt like I was going to bust but I made it . I miss you so much Mama. I will never be able to tell anybody just how much I miss you every day. Me and Kristi are trying to take care of Daddy for you, just like you wanted us to. He misses you so much and it really hurts all of us to see just how much he really does miss you but we are all trying to take care of each other. I love you "Murmie". Give Ashton a big hug and kiss for me and tell him that I will see him and you someday soon. Close
Mama, Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I cannot believe that you are not here with us. It will be a sad day for us because our centerpiece is in Heaven. We have discussed many times about just not having Thanksgiving without you but we decided that is not what you would have wanted. You always wanted us all together and at your house and that is where we will be this year. We are taking care of daddy as much as we can but he misses you so much. It breaks my heart to see how much he misses you. Mama, words can never describe the pain in my heart. I miss you so much. I love you forever. You know last week, I was talking to somebody about you and he told me that everything I am today is because of you and that is so true. Thank you for always being my role model. I love you. Give Ashton a big hug and kiss for me and tell him his Aunt Kristi loves him very much. All my love...Kristi
