Dear Mom,Thank you for being such a wonderful mother to me .you and dad were always there for me no matter what and I am grateful for that.I am happy that i got to spend a lot of time with you before you passed. My beautiful Momma, Your strength amazed me. You were so funny all of the time. I loved your humor and when you weren't having a great day and had to lay down to rest..I was happy to lay down by your side and talk about anything and everything. You were the hostess with the mostest to everyone who entered your home and a very selfless person. Always putting your needs last. I have always wanted to be more like you.You were a wonderful example in all things. My time with you cooking, cleaning and helping you and dad out was not work , but enjoyable service..it was the least I could do for you.I will miss your hugs and kisses and encouragement and the cute little things you and dad used to do together, but will remember it forever. I love you Mom and Thank you for Loving me unconditionally. Your Caboose, Shirley xoxox

Mom,You gave me strength when I was down or just needed some attention. You taught us to love one another. You taught me to love music and play the piano. You taught me the art of crocheting and sewing. Those were fun and special times. You were and will always be the bestest Momma on the planet. You ALWAYS made me feel special. Thank you for the pure love that you gave me. You will always be in my heart. Til we meet again.

My mamma was the most beautiful mom in all the world! She had a really cute way with her eyes and a cute little shrug. Even while going through much pain she was still happy and loved each one of her family. She took awesome care of us and our household. No one could keep up with her. She loved the kitchen and did a lot of cooking, baking and cleaning there. She was a true servant of Jesus because she would not let anyone go hungry and she always showed interest in anyone who came to the house by concerning herself with their well being and happiness. She was sympathetic to their needs and hurts. She did a lot of sewing and would always say that I was the one who was the seamstress in the family, but she made western shirts for dad that looked so awesome on him. She made many patchwork quilts and hand-stitched quilts. She did a multitude of mending and she showed me how to make baby kimonos, cloth diapers, and baby blankets. She taught me how to crochet. She had a little difficulty teaching me that because I am left-handed. But one day she got the idea to sit across from me facing me and then our hands were on the right track. That's how I learned. She taught my sisters and brothers and I many skills. She was good at everything and could out-fish anybody. She loved camping and we all did that a lot. She had the most beautiful singing voice and could play the guitar well. She played in the family bands with my Dad. They played for many dances. I asked my mom why she named me Linda. She said she didn't know, she just thought it was a beautiful name. I asked her if she knew Linda was a Spanish name and she didn't. I told her that in Spanish, Linda means beautiful. She said she didn't know that but that I really am beautiful. My mom was honest and trustworthy. She had genuine love for everyone. My mamma is not dead. She just took off her earth suit and went to Paradise when Jesus said it was time. She is helping prepare things for when we get there. I know my mom's happy giggle and her loving hugs will be waiting for us when we get there. Jesus is taking excellent care of her while she is away from us. She loves Jesus dearly and has all her life. We should do the same to insure we all meet again in that bright, happy and beautiful place, our mansion in the sky. I love you mom, and Dad and the rest of us will see you again one day soon!Linda Van Wagoner Walsh

Aunt JoAnne will always be in our hearts, she always made a point to ask how are you doing. Aunt JoAnne was always kind and loving, her kind ways always made you feel welcome. We will always remember her and Uncle David playing guitars, she had a lovely voice too. She is a sweet memory and will be greatly missed. All our best to Uncle David and their wonderful family. Love you all! Virginia, Wayne & boys

Mom, You were always there for me. You taught me how to love work and how to love people. You were in constant service to others, without complaint. You installed in me a deep love for music! When I was growing up, you always played the most beautiful melodies on the piano and your guitar. I'm know you are singing with Gods angels now because you are truly an angel to me!! I am forever grateful to you for being the best example to me and sharing your life with me. Its hard living life with a big gaping void in it but I know that God has a wonderful plan in store for you and all of us!! We will be together again Mom. I still talk to you because I know you are there! Your precious spirit is always near! I want you to know that you are the most amazing woman that the Lord ever created!! Thank you for everything you've done for me throughout my life! I will always be thinking of you wherever I may be!! I Love you Mom

Wonderful mom to some terrific ladies and sons, so shorter for your loss.

Aunt Joann, You were such an inspiration as I was growing up, it was always so fun to visit and hear you sing while Uncle David played guitar, angel of a voice. To Uncle David and my cousins may all your wonderful memories help you through this. Love, thoughts & prayers to you all. One last note...thank-you Aunt Joann for not making me drink or pour on my cereal that "straight from the cow milk"...Love you dearly, always, Bella

Mom,It's hard to believe you're gone, but I know that one day we will all be together again. Thanks for all the love, hugs, cookies and the last bowl of ice cream we shared. Thanks for saving my life when I nearly drank sulfuric acid when I was a toddler and saving me from the grips of a mad monkey at the circus. Most of all, thanks for the music and love that I hold so deep within my heart. I miss you so bad. I love you so deeply. I thank God he allowed me to spend a huge part of my life with you. I'll see you again in heaven sweet mommy,Love forever,John
