Can't believe you would have been 40 years old today. You know when you hit 40 it's considered over the hill. I have invited the family for your birthday dinner tonight and we will have your favorite, creamed tocos. Wish so very much that you and Dad were here to celebrate with us.

I miss you just as much as I did 8 years ago. And it seems I love you more.

Love,
Mom

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hey Baby..It's been so long since i have written, but i still think about you every single day. It seems like every Nov., i get really sick! Again this past Nov. my kids came in and talked me into going to E.R....I be darn. They admitted me asap on my b/day and kept me there way after Thanksgiving. I really thought God was going to call me home." Karen" graduates in May, then fast track nursing with another degree in physcology!?! She drove those nurses crazy.lol
She had already diagnosed me and was right..One of my many docs really was impressed with her. He let her look at x-rays and notes. Trey just let her take over and told everyone what a good nurse she is going to be. Her "thing is" that she claims to be great with the little ones and the elderly. So, i guess middle age is out of luck with her! Still stubborn. I do miss an empty house, especially at night. I still haven't moved on. Work, dogs, and t.v. keep me busy enough. I STILL LOVE and MISS YOU soooo much!! I don't believe there is ever closer and it doesn't get easier. I have just learned to cope and thank GOD that you did stop me and gave me a "warning" and that you were a gift from GOD to have you in my life for even a little while...You were a blessing.Please let Pepaw know i miss him teasing me. Be good you two clowns!!
You will never leave my heart! Love, Shannon

Hi Sweety,

I left you and Dad a message on Christmas Morning but it never appeared on here. Just wanted to tell you how much I miss and love you both. This time of year is so hard. I wish you had been here with us on Christmas morning to watch the girls and Will open their presents. I still hang your and Dad's stockings.

Danielle finally got her truck. She is so proud of it. Every time we have to go somewhere she has to drive. Andi and Will are home for the Christmas break and they don't have to go back until the 23rd of January.

LOVE and MISS you so very very much!!

Hi Sweety,
I just read about a Memphis officer, Officer Timothy Warren being killed in the line of duty last night. I know what his family is going thru and am praying for them. This brings back all of the heartache we went thru when you left us. I love and miss you so very much. I'll never forget you.

Hi Sweety,

Andi and I will be leaving Wednesday for Europe. We will spend 11 days together and will be going to England, Ireland, Wales and Paris. I hope you and Dad will watch over us and protect us while we are gone as well as the rest of the family at home.

I love and miss you and Dad so very much. Bro. Oscar sang "Buela Land" in church last night. It was your Dad's favorite song. It made me cry remembering him and you.

I saw Tim Beaver the other night at the funeral home. Pam's son got killed in an accident and it brought back so many sad memories. Tim was always there for me after you left.

I LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY. I don't think it will ever get any easier.

Love u

Hi Sweety,

We attended the annual memorial service to honor you fallen heros this morning. There are eight names listed on the memorial wall in Hernando and your name is the last to be added. I hope they nenver have to add another name to the wall. The service was beautiful but so sad. I can hardly stand to hear the bag pipes, or TAPS or the helecopters flying over. A white dove was released in each of your names. I saw several of your old buddies there. I just wondered what you would think of all of the fuss being made over you now.

I still miss you almost as much as I did the day you left us and I love you and Dad so very very much.

Danielle and Andi went to their prom last Saturday night. I know you were watching over them. They called me about eleven o'clock and said they were already home. I wondered if you had anything to do with their coming in so early. They were both so very pretty. I can not believe how grown up they are.

Will is leaving for Texas Monday morning. He will be working with the Texas Ranger Ball team all summer. I know we are going to miss him. Please watch over him while he is gone.

I LOVE you and MISS you so very much.

WATCH OVER US
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile

They said had run the light

That caused the six-car pileup

On 109 that night.


When broken bodies lay about

And blood was everywhere,

The sirens screamed out eulogies,

For death was in the air.


A mother, trapped inside her car,

Was heard above the noise;

Her plaintive plea near split the air:

Oh, God, please spare my boys!


She fought to loose her pinned hands;

She struggled to get free,

But mangled metal held her fast

In grim captivity.


Her frightened eyes then focused

On where the back seat once had been,

But all she saw was broken glass and

Two children's seats crushed in.


Her twins were nowhere to be seen;

She did not hear them cry,

And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,

Oh, God, don't let them die!


Then firemen came and cut her loose,

But when they searched the back,

They found therein no little boys,

But the seat belts were intact.


They thought the woman had gone mad

And was traveling alone,

But when they turned to question her,

They discovered she was gone.


Policemen saw her running wild

And screaming above the noise

In beseeching supplication,

Please help me find my boys!

They're four years old and wear blue shirts;

Their jeans are blue to match.


One cop spoke up, They're in my car,

And they don't have a scratch.

They said their daddy put them there

And gave them each a cone,

Then told them both to wait for Mom

To come and take them home.


I've searched the area high and low,

But I can't find their dad.

He must have fled the scene,

I guess, and that is very bad.


The mother hugged the twins and said,

While wiping at a tear,

He could not flee the scene, you see,

For he's been dead a year.



The cop just looked confused and asked,

Now, how can that be true?

The boys said, Mommy, Daddy came

And left a kiss for you.

He told us not to worry

And that you would be all right,

And then he put us in this car with

The pretty, flashing light.


We wanted him to stay with us,

Because we miss him so,

But Mommy, he just hugged us tight

And said he had to go.


He said someday we'd understand

And told us not to fuss,

And he said to tell you, Mommy,

He's watching over us.



The mother knew without a doubt

That what they spoke was true,

For she recalled their dad's last words,

I will watch over you.


The firemen's notes could not explain

The twisted, mangled car,

And how the three of them escaped

Without a single scar.

But on the cop's report was scribed,

In print so very fine,

An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.
