Love you much –

Mom:

The family will never be the same now that you are gone but I am trying my best to focus on the positive facts of life.? Thanks to God we had you for nearly 90 wonderful years and the memories are endless.? My favorite memories are when we lived on Big Branch out in the middle of no-where.? What a wonderful place to grow up and if knew then what I know now I would have probably enjoyed it even more.

You were 26 in August of 1948 and I was born in December, the fifth child.? I remember you telling me it was a cold morning when I was born.? You also told me that I was a happy baby and you used to feed me crackers and milk to supplement the breast feeding.? To this day I still love crackers and milk.

I fondly remember all the food we grew and canned, green beans, tomatoes, sugar beets, cabbage, cucumbers and the list goes on.? We picked every berry known to man, strawberries, blackberries, rasberries (Dad’s favorite), huckleberries, blueberries and you canned or made juice from everyone we picked.? Did we ever do some fancy eating?

I could go on and on but I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful Mother you were.? We could have ordered a special Mother and not done as well as having you.? I also wanted to tell you that we miss and love you dearly.? I miss your hugs the most as they were some kind of special hugs.? We will try to live our lives fully here on earth and look forward to joining you in Heaven.

Your Loving Son,

Willard Short

?MOM

It?s lonely here without you,

I miss you more each day,

For life is not the same to me,

Since you were called away.

To your resting place I will visit,

Place flowers there with care,

But no one knows my heartache,

When I turn and leave you there.

Love you Mom –

Dear Precious Mother:

I never imagined how difficult it would be losing you.? Having to cope with your passing is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.? Every night when I try to go to sleep you are the last thing on my mind.? When waking in the morning, I immediately think of you and wonderful thoughts of you continue throughout the day.? My fond memories see you clearly everywhere ? Our times spent together when visiting you in Ohio were simply the best! The vacations we shared were absolutely beautiful! Our Mom and daughter daily conversations were totally awesome!

I know you so enjoyed hearing from your children ? your eyes would always light up when I was visiting you and one of them would stop by or call.? You loved us all and we felt your love that was constantly shown us!? Talking to you at least two times and sometimes more daily were extremely important to you and me. These fond memories I will cherish for eternity.? As you stated to me often that I probably could write a great novel ? indeed I could!

Eventually, all great things come to an end … even the closest things to our heart!? Often people can get caught up in their own little world that they forget some of the most important things in life; merely pushing them aside and thinking they will always be there.? So not true!

Mom, your children felt you were the Best Mom ever!?? There is a song that is a favorite of your son, Wendell and now it is a favorite of mine.? It is called ? Can’t Cry Hard Enough by Bellefire.? Well, the truth is ? your children can’t cry hard enough for you to hear us now here on earth ? but we will continue to remember you as the caring/loving Mom you were.? We will forever love you, cherish our memories of you, and respect our upbringing.? You and Dad were simply the Best!? Love you both forever and always.? God Bless You!
