Momma, My heart is breaking right now. I love you so very much. Every time I close my eyes my mind is like a movie reel of all my memories of you. I can still hear you calling my name “Ida Mae”I was never sure if I was in trouble or done something right. There is so much I want to say, but I’ll chalk it up to this. You are my mom and I love you and I miss you terribly. I love you mommy.Love IdaMae.
Melvin momma loved you so very much. You were her world. You were the love of her life. Thank you so very much for being by her side through it all. My last trip home there was a moment I saw you with her, when she wanted her haircut and no matter what my family or myself said to her she was so insistent on her hair needing to be cut. Then you entered the room with brush and mirror in hand and sat beside her and oh so gently brushed her hair. I couldn’t hear what your words were to her but I saw how she looked at you, and you at her. I saw pure honest love. I will never forget that moment. I cried at the dining room table watching you both. Thank you for loving my momma and caring for you so much. Remember your New Jersey family is always – always here for you . We’re just a phone call away. We love you

Mawmaw I still can’t fully process that you are gone. Seemed just like yesterday when I was sitting down in ur living room in the middle of the night with you teaching me how to crochet and even listening to Luke Bryan aka lukie dookie😂 all the summers with my brother down at ur house when we were just kids. You baking an apple pie for him he didn’t like it because it was canned apples and not fresh and now it’s a family joke. And me and him would always walk down to the creek behind your house, all your doggies. When we used to sit down for dinner and I would help you snip string beans together. The one night when we sat down on the couch for a hour for you to put little braids in my hair. And the time when I took a bath in ur jet powered bath tub and I told you to not look at me nakey. So mawmaw even tho you are no longer here with us I know that you are in heaven with your loved ones that are no longer here with us. Mawmaw you will be missed so much by many. I will always be your Gertrude. I love you so much.~Granddaughter

Rest in peace MawMaw. Thank you for passing your obsession with dogs and crazy sense of humor to me. Some of my favorite memories are baking Christmas cookies and spending hours coloring with you. I still use my spaghetti forks and soup spoons that I “had to have” all the time, and thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites. I’ll miss you very, very much. I hope you, Abbie, Snookie, Marty, Theodore and Mickey have the best reunion. They’ve been waiting for you!

Ohhh Linda.. You always hated when I would call you Linda, probably just as much as I hated being called Kay Ann.. You already know I’m not your mushy, full of emotions child. Its all about smiles and laughs over here. First off, I want to thank you for teaching me how to make your famous deviled eggs. I wanna thank you for always telling me how proud of me you were. You made sure to always let me know that I was a good mom. I don’t think I ever told you how much that meant to me. Thank you, for always being there when me or my kids needed you. You were the 1st person to hold TT and I swear that why she’s my feisty child… You always told me I had away with turning any bad situation good, and always found humor in everything. Well I’m struggling a little with this one mom. I loved that no matter how old I got you always introduced me as your baby (Probably cause we all know I was your favorite). I know you up there raising heck, but I need you to keep a eyes on these new grandbabies you have coming in the next few months. I also need you to keep an eyes on all of down here, especially Melvin. Y’all had a love that most people could only dream of. I love you lady, more then you will ever know.
