To my beautiful mom. Almost every minute of every day I know you are resting well and living in eternity. May God bless you in the same way that you have blessed me in being my mother.Tell your dad hello for me!!I will miss you when I enter into every bathroom where we danced together and you always gave me that "certain grin." I will sing to you always as you always loved to hear my voice and wished I would have became a singer, so you could hear me sing more often. Thank you for telling me that I was a better singer than Dolly Parton. Thank you mom for your undieing love for me. Thank you mom for the cherished moments of laugher and kindness. Thank you mom for encouraging me to continue on with my education and believing in me in all that I ever did. Thank you for encouraging me to live my dreams. Making you proud was so very important to me. Hours of typing so many years ago, working double shifts to earn money and allowing me to sleep in the late morning until 9:00 a.m. It was in high school that you taught me to work so many hours and I am still at work now, writing this to you at 10:30 p.m. I never changed mom, I never changed. Thank you for your everlasting love and for being the greatest mother I could have ever hoped for. Thank you for encouraging me to write a letter at the age of six to the school board to give me transportation to a better school district than where I lived. The darn thing actually worked they sent me a bus until I graduated from high school. WOW! You knew we would not see each other often but you knew when we did we would have the greatest trips together. We found out that the place where your dad and mom met was really a church in Kentucky. Your father said "Queenie May, When I got you I got a Breeze from across the river!" Enjoy your family. We will meet again I am sure. "Amazing Grace How Sweet The Sound That Saved A Wretch Like Meeee.. I Once Was Lost But Now I Am Found… Was Blind But Now I See." Your not blind any more mom for "Now You See!!"My Forever Love Mom From "Your Joanie Girl."

Mom, I had to take some time before I could write this. I still can not except that you are not just a phone call away. How will I go on without you. You were my rock! There with me through so many ups and downs. You were my mother but you were also my best friend. All of the things we did together shopping, flea marketing, candy for the kids on halloween even if you could not see them in the later years. Christmas, we had a great time at Christmas. Think of all of the trips we shared. However with all of these things the thing I remember the most is our walks everyday. We walked and laughed,we ate candy bars and had a soda. You stayed thin I got fat. However I would never change a thing. I can not begin to except that those time are gone. You were my focus for so long that I do not know how to turn that off. I love you Mom, I loved you in life and I love you in death that will never change. I know that you are there with your family. I wish they would have sent you back one more time but I guess that is selfish of me. You wanted to stay last time and they told you it was not your time. You were so upset but we were so happy. We had almost 5 years with you after that. Thanks for coming to see me and for helping me to be at peace with your passing. It still is not easy. I will take care of Dad along with the rest of the famliy. I will write again soon. I love you mom and "nitie nitie see you in the morning".
