Final farewell Note from your mother: I miss you daughter dearly and I’m at a loss for words. I don’t know what to say or how to really feel. There’s an empty spot in my heart that I doubt the void will ever be filled. You have gone to be with the lord now and is at peace. You will always be my big girl. Until we meet again. -Mama Note from Donald: I can’t believe you are gone. I had so much more to tell you! Who am I gonna argue with now? lol We used to try to compare each other but we was 1 in the same. You in a better place now! No more pain! With love- Donald Lee Note from Sweetpea: I’m so heartbroken that I didn’t get to say goodbye! We wasn’t always on the best of terms but we had our own little way of dealing with each other. There wasn’t a soul alive that didn’t know I was your baby and you were mine. I can’t even express how much I’m gonna miss you. Forever in my heart-your monkey/little girl Note from Shanny: I truly wish we had more time. You’ll never leave me because I carry you in my heart. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. Love always-shanny Note from Mikey: You were my best friend, lover,my helper and my sunshine. Your smile brightening up my day. I’m sure gonna miss you fussing at me. “It’s not on the list! Put it back!” When I tried to get something extra while we grocery shopped lol. You sure kept me in line. I feel like I’m all over the place without you. This is not goodbye but see you later. I love you bookie-Mikey
