Happy Birthday, Mama!


Today would have been my mom's 71st birthday! She has been gone for almost 13 years and I don't think any of us have ever really gotten over it. I am so glad that the older kids..Belinda, Todd, Shannon & Jessica knew their "MeMaw" and will always remember her. It just makes me sad for all the little ones who never got to meet her and missed out on knowing her. How she would have loved Holley and Hannah with their little blond hair and cute little faces, Drew with his funny sayings, Taylor with her sweet spirit and Bailey with her cute little ways. We love you and miss you, Mama!!
Girls, please remember to get your mammmograms every single year! It can save your life!
Here is a site that you can go to daily and with just one click...you can help fund mammograms for people who can't afford it. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2

What a sweet post. My mom is really not doing well these days and it is so hard seeing her this way. I know I will have a huge void in my life when she is gone.

You look so much like her!

Gosh, Janell, you two do look alike! She is beautiful. One day you will see her again!

Aww, JJ! I can't imagine how much you must miss her! Reminds me of all the hard work we did for the crop last year for the 3Day Walk. Thanks again for everything you did! I know it meant a lot to both of us!
