Tina is happy to be giving Aiden a brother or sister next year. Jake and Abby are growing like weeds, and are so cute. I know they miss their GeGe. Holiday's are comming and I know you will be in our thouoght. Doug 10/03/2011

The years may fly by but you will always be in our thoughts and hearts each and every day. Love Ellen

Christmas is just 2 weeks away and my thoughts are of you today. Jen and Bo and kids are at Disney today and I know how much you loved that. They wanted me to go but I didn't feel like going alone. I'm going to Atlanta to spend Christmas with Tina and Aiden. He is such a beautiful son, I can't stand it and already 15 mo old, and talking up a storm and walking. I know you'll be looking down on all of us this holiday and I know we'll be thinking of you, and wishing you were here. Dad

I miss you so much.... you will always be in my heart.... Valerie bluepearl1@comcast.net

I still can't believe she's gone. We had so many good times,going to Daytona, shopping, eating, her giving me permanets, painting, doing crafts, staying up Christmas Eve making a candy-cookie house for the boys, cars braking down, cars getting stolen, baseball games, birthday parties, taking the girls for Chinese food. We were always there for each other like true friends are in the good times in the bad times. I miss you so much. Cheryl

Not a day goes by that I do not think of Gail...I can not beleive that 3 years has gone by...Gail was my closest friend...She held my hand while both of my children were born...I miss her so much...

Mom... I don't even know where to begin. I have a very hard time coming to this site and seeing you and wishing so much that you were still here with us. There is still not a day that goes by that you do not cross my mind. It is sweet Jake will randomly say out loud "mom I miss GiGi" and it breaks my heart and I try not to cry. Even 2 years later I am still on the verge of tears at the near mention of you. I love you with all my heart and I know that you are in heaven watching down on all of us!! Love you mom.

Mrs Dickie the amazing woman she is , those late nights when she would make us food or yell at us for going out to Taco Bell so late. How about when we use to go joy riding and her not letting Mr Dickie know,our number one softball fan, I can still hear her cheering for us!She was a second mom to many!You are always in my heart !!!!!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Dixon family miss you and love you guys!!!

It's still very hard for me to come to this site and write something, even after 2 years. I still miss you terribly as does Tina and little Aiden. I wish you were here so much to help her get through this difficult time as a new mother, and to see this little guy. He is so beautiful and precious. I wish there was something I could help with besides support and words. We all miss you so much!!!

I can't believe it's been two years since you passed. So much has happened. I am married and I have a baby now! It is so wonderful being a mom. I can hear myself talking and using all the little nicknames you used with me when comforting little Aiden. I know you are watching over me as I experience the ups and downs of being a mom. I am sure you are laughing, too, as I struggle with Aiden and his "red-headed" personality. I never knew the curse you gave me would actually work! You said, "I hope you have one just like you!" Well, Mom, it worked. ::Smiles:: I love him with all my heart anyway--even if he is just like me! Now I know why you would do anything for me. It is such a strong love to have a child. I only hope I can be as good a mom as you were to me. Love you Mom.

Well, our baby girl is having a baby and I wish so much that you were here for her like with Jen's two. She's is very excited and so am I. I'm driving up tomorrow and taking her Jen's crib. Its going to be fun, but I know we're all going to think about you so much as time get nearer. Your house is still beautiful, but I seem to not be the caretaker you were of the outside. Jen helps with the inside and give her some $$ for her trouble. WE miss you all the time.

Christmas came and went, with the kids getting lots of toys. Jake and Abey were so cute. Tina and Eddie were here also,and it was good to all be together again. Got to see Tina and Eddie's new house and its beautiful. You would be so proud of her. We all had you in our thoughts this Christmas and missed you greatly.

I can't believe that a year has gone by. This has been a very busy year yet there is not a day that has gone by that I have not thought of you. I continue to miss our conversations about the kids and all of our trips to Target and the store. Tina, me and Dad went to Target to look at all the Hallooween stuff and thoughts of you were constantly going through my mind. I know how much you love this time of year. Mom I miss you so very much and I wish you were here with me everyday. I love you Mom.

Next Friday it will be a year, everything is moving right along. I changed a few things in your house, but its still lonely at times, except when Jake and Abi are here. Went to see your mom today and had a long visit and took her outside for sun and she loved it. Anyway, we miss you and always have you in my thoughts- 09-26-08

I keep thinking that missing you is going to get easier with each passing day. Yet, with each day I miss you just as much, if not more so. The kids are getting so big and I wish you were here to share all the good and chaotic times with me. I miss you so very much.

Well mom, your little girl was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen,and she did such a wonderful job putting everything together. You were there with us I know, and she would have loved it. I tried not to think about it, but it was hard, and I missed your being there. Eddie is the right man for her, and now maybe I can relax a little and not worry about her so much. I miss you!

Dear Mom, Well, I am married now. Mrs. Christine Sumner! Everything was wonderful...I know you must have had a hand in giving me the sunshine, too. I felt like you were with me from the very beginning. I felt a calmness come over me at one point, which I knew was you giving me a hug and a rub on the back like you alway did. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. I only wish you were there to give me away with Dad. I hope you know how much you were missed that day, and how it would have been even more perfect if you were there. I miss you, Mom.

Dear Mom, We missed you at my shower was this past weekend. I thought about you so much, and Jenn and I talked about how you would have loved it. You would have had so much fun hanging out with your girls. We felt like you were there watching over us that day, though. Everything went so well, it must have been you watching over us and sending good wishes. I miss you so...the thousands of thoughts I wish to share with you about the wedding will hopefully reach you somehow. I know your presence will continue to be there with me in this exciting time. I love you Mom.

It has now been a year since we packed up and moved in with you. Looking back I now realize that was one of the best decisions we ever made. It really gave us a chance to bond and for you to spend some great one on one time with the kids. Even though the house was disorganized and loud most of the time, I now know that the time we spent together was very special. I cannot even express how much I miss you right now. I wish I could just call you up and talk about the kids or whatever. You are my "rock" and I am having a hard time without you by my side. I love you and miss you very much.

Yours and Tina's birthday came and went. I did think how much I missed you, and Tina was kept busy with Eddie and friends. Wedding plans are going good, Tina is handling things good. Its going to be one of the best days of my life and I wish you were here to hold me together. I miss you today, 02/02/2008

Merry Christmas, Mom. We really missed you today. The grandkids loved your idea of a play kitchen! Jenn and I had fun installing all the batteries. We were reminded of the time you told us about how you stayed up really late to put all the little pieces of our Barbie House together. We definitely felt your presence today in everything we did.

I came across this poem tonight while doing a little online shopping...I think she wants us all to know this... I still hear the songs I still see the lights I still feel your love on cold wintery nights I still share your hopes and all your cares I'll even remind you to please say your prayers I just want to tell you you still make me proud You stand head and shoulders above all the crowd Keep trying each moment to stay in His grace I came here before you to help set your place You don't have to be perfect all of the time He forgives you the slip If you continue the climb To my family and friends Please be thankful today I'm still close beside you In a new special way I love you all dearly now don't shed a tear Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year

Man,I miss you so much. The house is so empty without your touch. I don't know how Christmas will go, but we'll all be thinking of you honey. Dad

I went to Target tonight and thought of Mom. How we loved going there, even if it was just for one thing. We always walked out with 20 more things than what we supposedly needed. One of our favorite treats to buy was gummy peach rings! Yummy. Mom loved buying her white shirts, too. She had so many of those...probably b/c she was always spilling stuff on them, and she had to keep getting new ones. I miss her more than ever now that things have "calmed" down. It is even more sad now that everyone has gone back to work and their daily routines. I sometimes wish the world would just pause for a moment and let me take a day for her. It seems like the world should stop for her because she was so wonderful and I cannot imagine how life is going on without her. I miss her so much.

I miss mom so much.

Today was her funeral and reception back at the house in Jacksonville. She would have been SO very excited to see all the friends and family that were here. She probably would have spent the whole time running around in the kitchen worrying about this or that...she would have been so proud to show off her new house and all her pictures. The love felt in the house today was strong. She would have been so happy that she had such an impact on so many people's lives.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
