I miss you each and every day. It is so hard not to call my Mama and ask her how you are doing. I still find it hard not to call her and ask her how Mamie is doing too.  You were so much a part of my life growing up and I considered you my second Mom.  I love you so very much and miss you dearly. When we would come visit you in the mornings you always had breakfast fixed, usually sausage and biscuts and cinnamon rolls.  I loved the smell of your kitchen because you were always baking something for someone or some event that you were going to.  You were always there for me when I needed something growing up, whether it was a haircut or a dress that needed to made for a play or a ride home from school.  I could always count on you. I remember you trying to teach me to sew and I really wanted to learn, but the thread just got tangled up.  You were very patient with me. I am so glad to have had you as a Big part of my life and that you got to meet both my boys and my Alex got to spend time with you before you passed.  He loved the balloon animals you made him. I will love you and miss you till the end my days here on Earth, but will rejoice again when I see you in Heaven.

Love Always,
