From Tammy on 10/28/2007

Hi Mom, I went out to the cemetery this afternoon. Tay and Beanie went too. We planted some bulbs and kind of fixed things up a little. We want to go a full circle around you and Dad. Today we just did half way around. The ground around where your caskets lays needs to settle all the way into the ground before we start digging. We will finish in the spring. It is going to really look nice when things are all done. I want to get you a rose bush for Mother's Day. We will also plant some petunias in the spring too. You always liked those. I want to take out the artificial flowers that are in the planters and replace them with real ones. Lee took out your lights you had in your flower beds at the house and put them with you. I checked those out and they both work. It's going to look nice Mom. And when we are finished I'll take a picture for Becky to see. Gosh Mom, I can't believe you are gone! I just never expected to lose you like this. I expected you to be around for a good 20 years more. I miss you so much it hurts! The pain is still raw, tears still flow and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. People say eventually the memories of your sickness will fade and be replaced with more happy memories. That hasn't happened yet. Oh I have happy memories, but I just can't see ever forgetting how we lost you. I don't know...I just know it wasn't fair. We weren't ready! I took Tay with me today. She got in one of her laughing attacks. I am sure it was for you...you always LOVED to hear her laugh. Her laugh is so contagious. Bryson stayed with his Daddy. He was napping. He's feeling much better. Beanie just picked him up and took him to see the horses. He really loves those horses. That is what he is going to be for Halloween...a horse. Tay is going to be Elmo. I love you Mom...I love you and miss you very much! (((HUGS)))) ****KISSES*****
