    I still can't grasp you are gone. We had too many things left to do together. Too many memories still to make.I miss you more with each passing day. You were so strong fighting the terrible cancer battle. I will miss you every day until we are together again. I love you Sissy.

    Carrie, I am so sorry for your loss of your mother. I had no idea until I read it in the paper. My parents (Ron and Helen Newby) and my uncle Mick use to all hang out at your moms when you were little. She always had a smile on her face. She will be dearly missed by all who loved and knew her.

    Nancy was a great lady! I really enjoyed knowing her and working with her at Sprint. I wish I would've had the time to see her more before she passed. I'll miss her!

    I have to say nothing more than" I love you" for you to know what's in my heart. We grew up together and had entertwined families, I still remember the day we just decided to say op cousins and stop trying to figure it out. We had just as much fun as adults, don't worry I won't tell anyone the secrets you told me and definitely won't tell some of the crazy things we did. I remember standing on my Mom's porch one of the Times I came home to visit and us making jokes about RA, who does that but us except maybe Linda? You always made me laugh when no one else could. You had a true gift in your humor and caring for otheri8s. Carrie had your heart from beginning to the end, as it should have been.o I remember your face just glowing the first time I saw you with her and it continued to glow every time you even said her name. You were a wonderful mother and I'm sure without even being around to see she is a wonderful mother to your three beautiful grandchildren.Tell Terry hello and I thought the shoes were gorgeous. Tell Almie I'm sorry we drove her crazy playing with the laundry shoot and messing around in the basement getting into stuff. Tell Aunt Nancy I love her and miss our card games. Now go fly on those wings and be peaceful and happy. Just know you will never be forgotten but always missed. I will see you again my love and we will laugh together again. P.S. I did NOT put a hole in the swimming pool! Thank you Linda, Carrie and Tom for taking such good care of my dear cousin friend. I love you all for it.
