  1. There is no way I can put it into words, the loss I feel for you. I know I’m being strong for you and for everyone around me and keeping my head held high keep the tears at bay, but when I lay my head down at night they flow so much so that Dingo comes to kiss them away because he misses you and I know he knows your Gone. Kiss all the loved ones that have passed on before you and stay close till I get there. I love you , your soulmate, Diana

  6. There is a saying that there are different types of people that come into ones life….those who are like leaves, those who are like branches and those who are part of the roots. Those who are like leaves come into your life briefly. They will give you shade but eventually fall off. The ones that are branches are strong but not enough to sustain life by themselves….those that are like the roots….now those are the ones that will forever be there while the tree is full of life. The roots give nutrients to the tree.. You and momma are a root to my tree… you have always show nothing but love to us. You rooted for Michael for his first prom…for his Graduation. You gave Michael his 1 drink on his 21st Birthday (even though momma wasnt happy,lol) and no matter how tired you were when you got home you ALWAYS had time to allow Michael to talk your ears off. My fondest memories that stand out are when you told me one day that you didnt want anyone mowing the yard again other than me because you loved looking at rhe lines in the grass..lol. Another memory that I’ll forever remember is when I was leaving for work and you were sitting on the porch and of course with your humor made the comment “Hey PO PO” (because of my uniform) and you just laughed… I’ll never forget you and what you mean to not only myself but to all of those who you loved and those who loved you! We will continue to always be there for momma and Dings… This isnt a good bye…. This is a I’ll see you later!
