My beautiful, loving and spunky mom. I think of you everyday. I feel you with me when I need you, still there to comfort me I see your smile and feel your presence holding me in your arms saying everything will be ok. Thank you for loving my kids like you did. I know now the joy grandkids can bring You would love Camber and Orion so much I know you already do. I'm so lost without you!

Here are some of the phrases you used to say a lot & I can't help but giggle when I think of some.  "C'mon!" "What's going on?" "Go tell your dad I said to hurry up" " Oh For crying out loud".  "Tell your dad I'm going to leave without him! "ROGER!!" "Roger I said dinners ready!" tell your dad to get up" "What's taking so long" "Jacqueline Marie!" " Richard!" so funny and. Cute you were!

Grandma...Oh memories. From when I was in 1st and 2nd grade and you would make my lunches and always packed me a Twinkie. Always interested in what I did that day. You would listen and be so excited about my baseball and later on wrestling. You always cared, always listened, and were always there. I miss the days with you and wish you were here to be with us all. Forever in my heart. LoveU

Grandma I know nothing but love and respect for you. I will always remember your smile and the way you would always laugh at the ridiculous stuff us kids did. I remember getting upset when you seemed mad at us or scolded us for running in the house or other foolish things we would do but now as an adult I respect the way you taught us to behave, with nothing but love in your heart. W/ love

Grandma. Oh how I miss you. Where do I even start. Tickling my back and playing with my hair as I laid on the couch to watch tv with you at night. Wanting to be with you when I was sick because grandmas do it best. Teaching me arts and crafts which I love to this day. Spoiling me rotten, and letting us bring home random animals without asking Ma!!!  My love of crafts and animals now....

“Don’t tell yourself grandpa” or “don’t tell your mom” only to get away with stuff that only grandmas and their grandchildren would know. Your stubborn ways and firey-ness I see in Camber and it reminds me of you. You never too anyone’s crap, yet you had the biggest heart on earth to me. Always an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. I wasn’t ready for you to go, but I know you’re....

.... time on this earth was up. As I’ve gotten older, I know now that doesn’t mean your soul or essence is gone, for I know you are always with me. In a dream, in someone else’s touch or embrace, in a song, in a memory, finding a random feather, a dime, a penny. You always show me you’re with me. All of us are at a loss without you  but we hold you close to our hearts always. I love you.

I loved waking up early as a little girl and you helping me get a cup of sweet hot tea, and a bowl of Lucky Charms so I could go sit in grandpas chair and watch Gilligan’ Island and I dream of Genie While you worked on your crafts. And as I got older, waking up to the sound of you doing crafts in my room/your craft room before school. Through the years I watched you and wanted to do just..

.. like you did  puzzles, little minitures, painting, quilting pillows... burning my fingers on the glue gun countless times while listening to country on your little radio on your craft table  the smell of your hair spray, and of your perfume, the touch of your hair after you perfected your look  my wondering why you drew on your eye brows, only to understand so much more of you now ...

At first I found to hard to find the words. What do I even say? I felt like I had lost touch of so many of those memories and special moments in time with you. Yet as I started writing its amazing how quickly those memories come rushing in.  And oh the emotions  thaf I thought I had buried deep enough to not feel any more except a couple tears hear and there that I let escape, have come ..

Rushing in as I struggle to get my fingers to move as fast as my mind is racing trying to write it down through the sobbing and the tears. I don’t think any of us have ever been touched by love so deeply and powerfully by anyone else. It is a love I have only known with you. We were meant to be loved my you. And as much as it hurts, the tears that come with the memories are worth the..

Feeling of being back in those moments in time with you.

Last night as I laid my head down on my pillow my mind would not let me rest because I felt I hadn't left a tribute about how I feel about you being not only my mother but always my angel. I thought keep it short Jackie keep it short. But how can
I sum up a lifetime of wonderful & everlasting memories that are cemented in my heart forever.(cont. Next pg)

How can I even begin to tell the world what you ment to me in just a few short paragraphs?  Then this morning I see what my kids shared ,and I realize that in a large part they are who they are today because of you.  When I was lost and couldn't be all they needed you were there helping, giving more than  just grandmotherly love and guidance you spoiled them with not just material things

But with much more that they probably didn't. Completely understand till later in life.  You showed them their importance in life you showed patience and praised them on their accomplishments, you were encouraging. Your love and pride for them never once hid..What more of a tribute could I give other than to thank you for all that you've instilled in them giving them undying love and

Support. For showing that love has no boundaries. That nothing in life means more than family.  I thank you for that. I may have not always been the mother they needed, you never gave up on me and I am forever grateful. I can't make up for my past but I can to make you proud by never giving up on what's most important in life. The value of life itself and the value of family are the most

Things and what life is all about. I can only hope to be as good as a grammie to Camber and Orion and to my future grandbabies as you were to mine and to leave them with lasting memories and of how much they are loved and.that no matter what I will alway be here for them. Even when I'm gone. Thank you mom for loving me and leaving behind your light that still guides me. I love you always.
