Dear Aunt Sharon,

If Tears Could Build A Stairway, And Memories A Lane,I’d Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again.

A rock reads this, and it will lay next to your grave the next time I go visit you. I love and miss you Aunt Sharon.

When I was told that you passed, I had a vision. It was so clear and sharp. I knew it was real. You were surrounded in bright light, with the biggiest smile ever, entering a place, I know it was heaven, you were going towards all of your friends and family that had already passed over.I knew at that moment that you were going to become one of Gods Angels. I smiled for a split second, then reality hit, this meant that you would no longer be with us. Your strong will to help so many in need left some,helpless. You were the happiness that made us smile, the jokes that made us laugh,your stories brought magic into our lives, you were a teacher of fun, unique in so so many ways, your creativity shows me why God needed you more than us.

You are an Angel now up in heaven and one day I will see you again, until then I will keep you in my heart, and your memory will live.

I love you,

Your niece,

Terina

Dear Mommy,

I am so sorry i have not written you. I miss you so much. It hurts me so much to come on here and see the words memorial, you are soppose to be here for me to hug and i miss you hugging me. You were all I had. You were the only one who knew me. I feel so alone without you. so unstable. I have lost everything. I know you would not be happy with the choices i have made in my life. I hope you and God can somehow forgive me. I need you so much. The only good thing i can say I have done is bring life to a beautiful little girl names Zoe. She is so wonderful. I wish you could have held her. I am still the same confused little girl you used to know. I dont feel good mom, I feel so messed up inside. I wish you could just come be with me for a while. i feel so dam alone. Soo unhappy. I lost my kids, my home, my career, i lost it all. I do not feel smart anymore i feel like someone just swiped my brain and i cannot think straight anymore. I hope you are so happy and peaceful whereever you are. I do not want to disturb your peacefulness, i am sorry. please just tell God how sorry I am. Mommy, penny does not feel good either, Jack, the love of her life is going to heaven today, and i am going to miss him too. please tell God to help penny and those kids.

I realize you are not gone at all. when me and holly and barbi were together in New York I realized you were not far at all. All three of us are you. Barbi has your bueatiful smile and temper, Holly has your hands and stuburness and I have your feet and your loving heart. when we were all togeather I felt like you were there.

dear mommy,

I miss you so much. mommy I need you. I would of never begined to imagine how bad this hurts. I just want to hold you so tight and never let you go. I need you so bad. I live so far from my sister,s and feel so alone. I know your here with me but its so hard . Mommy, I got a letter back from the mayor of virginia concerning donna,s kids. I know you were hurt so bad when them babies were taken from you. I know you had a special bond with seirra. I might get custody of her mommy. I know it is you up in heaven working them miracles. mommy how can I go on without you. You were my very best friend, my mommy, my angel. Everyone always asked me how I could live so far away. I could because of you because not a day went by that you dint call me and let me know you love me and even though you were miles away you were really here in my heart day after day. I cant believe it has been almost 3 months since my phone has rang and you were on the other end with your sarcatic funny voice saying ” yeah” Do you know where your mommy is! I would laugh then say yeah I know where my mommy is on the phone with her baby! Mommy i know where you are because I know if only one person in this world made it to heaven It would be you! My Mommy! You always seemed to make everone laugh and smile no matter what the situation was. I hope when I go to heaven with you my babies love me and have charished me as much as your babies have. I know I am 26 years old but we are and always were your babies. Mommy , I promise I will lead in your footsteps and I will see you in heaven and mom on that day I will hold you and sqeeze you and never let you go. I love you mommy. See you in heaven

Dear Mommy,

I’m so sorry i have not written in a long time, i just have a very hard time writing in to something that i know will never touch your hands. I just pray that your standing behind me as im writing so you will know how very much I LOVE YOU and Miss You with all MY HEART and SOUL. I have been going through so much in my life and i need you with me. I just got back a few weeks ago from your resting place and i wanted to just get you out of there. I miss you more than words could ever say. I ask God everyday why he took you from us? You were all we had.You were who kept us all together. everything has crumbled sense you have left. I dont even feel like i have sisters anymore. We need you so much. I know you cant help what has happened, because if you could you would. I just want you to be happy, all the pain i feel would be worth it if i only knew that you were happy and feeling all of the love that you deserve, that is the only answer i can come up with when i ask God why he took my mommy, He took you because it was time for you to have all the love that you deserved. mommy i know you were tired, i just want you to be waiting for me when it is my turn to go home. I love you mommy and i will die loving you.

Dear mommy, I went to virginia Beach and mommy its not the same without you there. I drove by our house on va blvd and I could almost see you standing in the front yard. I pulled in I don’t know why I guess I was hoping I was in a bad dream and you were going to come out on that porch any second and give me a big hug and kiss and say how was your trip I love you mom. I also brought the greatest gift in the world for you to see. My little sharon ann brantigan. Then I realized you already knew as you gave her to me. Thank You mom I never could understand the love of a mother and daughter now I do because you gave me my very own love of a daughter. Mommy she is so bueatiful and acts just like you she speaks her mind and looks like you and mariah I know you would love her. Mom I need you to do miricles from heaven and one of them is to help barbi but most of all help little ryen mommy he needs you he needs me but barbii is subborn like always and will not let me help . Please give her the strenth to see what this is doing to ryen and you can’t help physically so let me. He wants me mommy. Please mommy please help. And thank you mommy for helping me see the right way to be a good mommy the answer is clean and sober when things get hard pray don’t use. You did it and raised all of us and even lost a son . So I can too. Thank you for being the best mommy in the world. P.s I think I am getting married this year to aman who finally knows how tto treat a woman absolutly no violance all the love in the world and he loves the boys like they are his. I am so lucky. Thank you mommy love always and forever penny lynn little sharon ann 1 yr old and the boys p.s sharon was born oct 13 on daddys bday

Dear Sharon,

I just found out about this site through Holly and I wanted to write you. I really miss you and the last time we talked we made plans and I was going to visit you on the very day of your funeral. I was very shocked when I told my sister I was going that day to visit and she told me you passed away. I hope you are no longer suffering up there and that maybe you are with Great Grandma and Grandma Ruby. I am still married to Bill and he is in Iraq right now so watch over him please. You wouldn’t believe how big the kids are. Thomas is starting college in the fall and Kassandra will be a Senior. We are in Texas but will be moving to Colorado Springs, CO in the summer when he comes back. I am glad Holly told me about this website and I would have wrote sooner if I had known. I pray you are happy and watching over all your loved ones. I love and miss you and wish we had that last visit as planned.

Mom, I am the oldest of your children and I am suppose to be the one that can take this situation better and somehow I am not doing to well. I have been thinking about moving back to Virginia Beach as I miss my family really bad. I am so depressed with you being gone and miss you so much. How do I gain strength through this stuff. I’m not doing a good job by myself. I love you so much. Please guide me to make the right decisions and show me how to stay strong. I love and miss you so very much.

Love you always and forever;

Donna

Hello ma, I just wanted to say goodnight to you and let you know how much I miss you. I think about you every single day of my life. I hold you tight in my dreams and when I wake up in the morning and glance in the mirror I see so many traits of you steering back at me. I am trying so very hard to stay strong and it’s just so hard to do. How do you go on in life when your mother was the biggest part of it? How do you look at yourself in the mirror when you see your mama steering back at you? How are you supposed to pray when there are so many people in the world today that is praying and is experiencing the worst tragedies ever recorded in history? Where their prayers answered? I dont doubt the lord mama. I really dont. I know he must have had his reasons. I know he is there watching over us all. I just miss you so much and there is so much I dont understand. Please rest in peace mama. Don’t let this George make you feel uncomfortable in any way. Please dont let any of us kids make you feel like we cant make it out here. All I asked is that you keep us Kids and all your grandbabies free from all harm and the courage to grow stronger with each day that passes. I love you so much and miss you with all my heart. xxxxxxxooooooooxxxxxxxxxooooooxxx I love you !!!

Love: Your Donner

Hello ma, I just wanted to tell you how very special you are and always will be to me. I will never forget the advice and unconditional love that you gave to me. I miss not have you here to respond to my questions however, I know you hear my prayer’s and have them answered for me in your new way of life with God. I just miss you so much and I feel like there is a big hole in my heart that at times actually takes my breath away. I still cant believe you are gone and want you to come back here so bad. I still hope or I should say day dream that when the phone rings it will be you asking me how I am doing or to yell at me for not calling that week. I am so sorry for the missed weeks that i didn’t here your voice or concerns. I guess I just didn’t realize how very sick you really were.I would give anything to take the pain you had away. I reacon the Lord Jesus took your pain away by bring you home to live with him and I should be happy for that reason but as you would say, YOU are being selfish DONNER! cuz deep down I am mad as hell cuz he took you. Why mom? Why? I love you so much and am trying to be strong but knowing deep down that I won’t get to see your smiles and laughter, be able to hug and kiss you again really, really hurts. Well mom, as you read my prayer to you just remember that you are the sunshine in my heart and the apple of my eye forever and ever. I love you mama

Love; Donna

Hello ma, just thought I would write to tell you how much I love and miss you. I am so worried about how to handle things on a day to day basis without your advice but I am handling I reacon. Not always good choices but I am doing better than usual. I miss you so much. I sent my picture in to altmeyer to be pictured with you so hopefully I will be placed on your site with the rest of your beautiful children. One thing you can always say ma , is that you had all nice lookin kids and although we dont always show it , we all have common sense and have inherited many of your great qualities. I love and miss you dearly and will write again soon.

Bye for now but not forever

Hello mama, I am so sorry that I havent written in a while but I have been so busy with this job and this is my only access to a computer right now. I see that you have been busy watching over Penny and Barbie though so Im sure I didnt upset you in any-way. I want to thank you for watching over us all and helping Barbie with her problems as you know it takes great strenght to overcome addictions. Please stand by us all and always remember that all your babies love and miss you very much. Mom, Please remember that even though scott hasnt written I know he loves you and misses you to as I feel it in my heart but you know he has to hold that stuburn pride that dad had. Please let my children know that i love and miss them very much and as you know today is Rhobea’s B-day so it is kinda rough on me with all the loses I have went through in the last 3 years. There isnt much left to take. Well mom, Im sure someone else needs your strength now so i wont take up no more of your time just remember that i love and miss you so much and will go for now but not forever.

Love Donna

Hello mama, sorry I haven’t visited here lately but things have been really busy. Im sure you know by now that many lives were lost on september 11th and so many people are experiencing the pain of losing there loved one as we all did on June 8th when you left us so suddenly. I miss you so much that there isnt one day that passes that your not on my mind and in my heart. I have a poem for you and thought you may like it as I always use to read them to you and you would love to hear them. I love you ma and miss so very much.

GOD SET ME FREE

Don’t grieve for me,for now i’m free

I’m following the path, God led for me

I took his hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay , just one more day

To laugh,to love,to work or play

Tasks left undone, must stay that way

I found that peace at the close of the day

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy

A friendship shared,a laugh,a kiss

Ah,yes,these things I too,will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full,Iv’e enjoyed much

Good friends, Good times,a loved ones touch

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Dont lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up you heart and share with me

God wanted me now

HE SET ME FREE.

I love you mom and may you rest in absolute peace.

Love: your daughter Donna

Hello Mom, I am sure you are doing your crafts and I won’t keep you long, I promise. I miss you so much and love you with all of my heart and soul. I wish this pain would go away but I know it is natural to feel this way. I just feel a big hole in my heart and wish you were here. Knowone could ask for a better mom than the one GOD chose for me and I love you very much. Well, do your crafts and dance with the angels mama and always remember that your in my heart and thought about each and every day.

Hello Mom, Just wanted you to know that Dorinda started school yesterday and as always, loves it very much. I miss you mom and this pain isnt any better than it was the day you traveled home to be with Jesus. I’m sure by now you have seen many of your friends and family there and I don’t worry as much because I know that Uncle Clayton is there beside you and will teach you all you need to know on the other side. Please tell him I said Hi and I miss him too. I guess I am just having a rough time as you know the Kids B-day’s have been pratically every month and I dont have you here to easy this pain any longer. Well, I miss you very much and will see you when the Lord feels it is time for me to be with you. I love you and please tell my Daddy that even though I didnt get to know him as well as I did you, that I love him too.Bye for now mama and guide me to make the right choices in my life.

Love you always: Donna
