Most Recent Reflection
View all 442 ReflectionsGood Morning and HAPPY BIRTHDAY my precious SON. I wanted to have you a birthday celebration and invite the whole family to come eat your favorite meal, Creamed Tacos, but because of this Covid-19 pandemic we are still unable to get together. I MISS and LOVE you and PePaw so very very very much. I have read about your fellow Law Enforcement family suffering and dying from this virus. I'm praying it will be over soon so I can be with my family again. It's so sad not to be able to meet and hug your loved ones whenever you want to.
The girls are doing so very well. You would be so proud of them. Andi has a good job and a good boss and Danielle is one semester form getting her RN license. Will is still off work because of the Pandemic but he is doing good too.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE. HUG DAD FOR ME AND TELL HIM I LOVE HIM TOO!!!!
