"This day 7 years ago you went to be with the Lord. I didn't want you to go and it is still hard to say "Goodbye" and thats why I haven't said those words to you Mom. Goodbye means forever and I will never want you to be gone forever. I love you and i can't express how weak I am without you. You held us together, now we are all apart and it's not fair. I have to keep believing God has a plan...And as you always told me "It will be okay Ree". I miss you Mom. Love always your baby Ree. "

"Hello Aunt Shirley, It's Retta. I know I wasn't here when you went to heaven but I miss you greatly and know that your great great niece Keyara is up there with you laughing and playing and that you are watching over her. I love you."

"Today marks the 6th year I have lived without you. God chose this day to take you home Mom and I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I would do anything to just feel your touch, hear your voice, see your beautiful smile. There isn't a day that passes that I don't think of how much you loved me. Your Grandbabies are all grown up and you have 3 Great Grandsons and 2 Great Granddaughters from my kids. We all love you and miss you more than any words can express. Let Gramal know that I am okay, Tell my Dad I said Hi and give Michael, Steve, and Danielle kisses for me. Tell Uncle Ralph I miss him being on the garbage route and Uncle Pete that his smile is still shining bright. Also tell my best friend Aunt Ruth that I so miss talking to her. I love all of you and will join you one day in Heaven. Love, your daughter REE"
