  8. Ruth, Brandy, Jeanette, Louise,& Judy:

    I love your mom/granny just like she was mine! Thank you ALL for sharing her with me and for giving me a chance to sort of have my own granny again!! I enjoyed being and staying with her when I had the opportunity. I loved the way she’d look at me when I came in her front door and say, ‘Hey, Honey!’ Just like mine would do! I’ll miss that sweet smile and those twinkling eyes! I’ll miss the talks we had when just the two of us were home. Hearing her laughter simply tickled me — that’s why I was always being silly when I was with her. I will always think of her with admiration, joy and love. She was more than a neighbor — she was my friend and my ‘other granny!’ Again, THANK YOU for sharing her with me! I love all of you dearly and if you need me, PLEASE let me know!

    LOVE,
    Sharon

  9. Dear Mother,

    I love you and miss you very much! You are in my heart every hour of the day and night. There will never be another like you. I will always remember all of the things that we have done together, and all of the good times that we have had. I know you are in heaven and are rejoicing with all of your loved ones and watching over me. I know that you are seeing all of the hurt that I am going through and probably saying that I am being silly. But, Mom, you were my life!! The hardest thing that I have had to do was to give you up. I would give anything just to see you. You will always be a part of my life and I will never forget you. I will always remember the unconditional love that you always had for me — no matter what. I love you with all of my heart and I am longing to see you again. Just save me a place right beside of you. You were and always will be my baby. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    LOVE,
    YOUR BABY DAUGHTER RUTH
