Anne and Ruby, I am so sorry about Vada.
She was doing so good, but I guess the Lord felt it was time for her to be with Him.
I know you will miss her a lot. I know also though
He walks with us through it all.
God bless all of you and help you in this time.
Annie
Hey granny. I miss you. I know I have only known you for a little over a year but you made a huge impact on my life. I love you and thank you for always treating me like family and loving me too. I'm gonna miss your smile. It was very rare to see you without a smile and I'm going to miss your hugs. I wish you were still here but I know that you're in a better place and that you're happy to see your family again. We all love you and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Granny.
So many fun, crazy and fond memories of this girl in our younger years. My sympathy to her family. I know she will be missed.
Mom, I know that even though you couldn’t move or speak or wake up that you could hear me while I sit at your bedside so far away from home in ICU and prayed and told you how much we all love you and how much we would all miss you. I stayed a long time after you took your last breath, I just didn't want to leave you or for you to leave us. Shortly after I left you I walked through the gardens at the hospital hotel we were staying at and asked God to send me a sign to let me know you are ok and resting peacefully and within less than 30 seconds about 25 at least, maybe even more of the most beautiful butterflies you could ever see started circling around me and I knew that God had sent me a special message telling us to let you go and that you have earned your wings and were free from pain and suffering now. I later realized the circling of the butterflies represented the full circle of life we always talked about.
I never saw the butterflies again after that; they were just like you, a gift from God. But every time I pick up my phone to text you and tell you about my day and ask about yours and start to cry because I know you can't reply, I remember the butterflies and smile through my tears. I thank you for always being there for so many wonderful years. I love you and miss you momma, Sheila
