Just before getting her hair cut
Happy Heavenly Birthday, MOM
I hope you are having a fantastic time and spending it with everyone who arrived before you and those who have followed. Tell everyone hello.
I have one request: please take good care of Cooper. He loved you so much and will make a good companion on all your adventures.
I wish you and Cooper were here to tell you how much I love and miss you both.
MOM, your life was a blessing, and your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Love your son Lance

Merry Christmas, MOM,
Today is the first Christmas of many that you will not be with us. I'm sure it will get easier as the years pass, but know that your presence is deeply missed. I hope you are with your mother today, and It is her birthday. 12/25.
Tell grandma hello for me and that I miss her as well. I hope your day is filled with Joy, Love, and Happiness.
MOM, your life was a blessing and your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Merry Christmas,
Love your son Lance
Happy thanksgiving grandma!! We love you so much and wish you were here to celebrate like old times! I’m sure you’re up there having a feast of your own. I miss you. It’s not the same without you here. I was going to write you a message on your birthday but couldn’t put into words how much you are missed. I hope your birthday was everything you could’ve hoped for with all the love around you. Give my coopy a big hug and kiss for me. We miss you so much grandma, happy holidays ❤️ Until next time
As usual (and sticking with tradition) I remember your birthday usually three days after it happened because I always think it’s on the 19th. It’s a strange feeling realizing that you are not physically here anymore. I’m glad to have known you and glad to have met your son. I hope that wherever you are on the other side, that your life is fulfilled and you are having the time of your life with those that you have missed for a long time. We will see each other again. Happy belated birthday Mom, Love you – Nancy
Happy belated birthday, Grandma.
I thought about you a lot on Tuesday. Actually, I’ve been thinking about you a lot even before that… mostly thoughts about how much I miss you, but also about how the upcoming holiday is not going to be the same without you here. I wish we had been given more time with you. Even one more year. Another birthday, just one more Christmas… more time to show you how much we truly and unequivocally love you. You deserved SO much more time, so much less pain. I know you’re likely much happier where you are - not in pain, spending time with those who left before you. I just hope you know how much you mean to all of us. I hope your heavenly birthday was everything you hoped it would be. I’ll be forever anticipating the next time I’ll see you. Give Cooper a kiss for me.
Love always, Whitney.
Grandma, Happy celebration of the day you were gifted to this world 💕
I love and miss you so much and am sending you all the love from where I am. I hope you are traversing the universe feeling the infinite love and freedom that you deserve!
Can’t wait to see you again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!, MOM
It's been 77 days since you left on your adventures to see the universe, stars, and heavens above. I hope everything is well and you are enjoying yourself, and that you are visiting with all those whom you love and cherish, who arrived before you.
I know you are in good hands with everyone so that I won't worry.
Not a day goes by that I wish you were still here to hug you and say how much I love you.
MOM, your life was a blessing and your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Love,
Lance
Claudia, my dear long time friend, you have influenced my life in so many ways, some good, some not so good, but in the end, you were in my heart and in my head. I am so grateful we were able to reconnect and enjoy so many things together in our 'golden' years. You will be missed so much by so many, but your smile and laugh will long be a memory to keep forever. I regret our years we missed, but thankful that we got the last few years to catch up, remember, forgive, enjoy, and have a few laughs, tears, and share. I love you always. Shari
Claudia, I'm so sorry that we didn't keep in touch more. I think the last time I saw you was at my mom's viewing. I asked about you all the time, but nobody knew how to get a hold of you.
I have great memories of us as children and I will truly miss you. All my love, Cathy Miller Thomas,
