Dear Mom, you are so very much missed. Feel like we had covered everything we could have possibly said to each other and YET, wish we could have gotten in one more long phone call. Another hug; another kiss. I was so fortunate to have my two parents for so long, but you seemed to have slipped away from us too fast. Guess there's never enough time. But I will never forget our special times together. They were precious moments that will remain in my heart forever. I will be OK. I have such beautiful children and grandchildren and a loving husband. They will take care of me as well as I will take care of them. And, I will do my best to hold this family together as good as you and Dad did. I'm so happy for you to be with Dad again. Give him a special hug for me. You are loved, not just today, but forever more.

My name is Angel Garrett although I never had the pleasure of meeting you and you husband I felt I knew you. My daughter Pamela Caddell works for Captain D's in Summerville S.C. and she spoke of you and your husband very often. She would tell me that both you and your husband were the sweetest couple she had ever met, You would always ask to see her when you and your husband stopped by Captain D's for lunch and she said that it would brighten her day, for she loved you both and you and your husband will be sadly missed and as Pamela's mother I would like to say Thank You for being so sweet and kind to my daughter and for making her days so much brighter. God blessed her life knowing you both were there. Thank You
