Mom today is 7 yrs since you left this physical world, I am writing this with tears running down my face, I wish so much you could have met your new 2 1/2 year old grandbaby Alanya, she is so beautiful and funny, loves to dance and sing, you have a few great-grandbabies and some of your grandchildren have gotten married and happy. I tried using the look on Alanya, I think she is to young yet, she just laughs ......lol. When I hear some of your favourite songs I smile and cry at the same time ... you will always be in my heart, love you to the moon and beyond ... hope you are having some duck and wine.... : )) it's an inside family thing.

Today has made it five years since you left us,it feels like yesterday, my heart is bursting as I am writing this. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and ask God to bless you and keep you happy. Every grandparents day at school Arieanna still cries that you won't be there looking back at her. I wish you were here to see Isabella, she would have made you so happy, because she has such a crazy personality. Whenever in see Mikayla dance I cry because I know you would be so proud of her, I remember the first time she performed, when she came off the stage and I hugged her and said I wish grandma was here to seen you and she said to me "she was daddy, I felt her". We miss you so much and I still live my life everyday to try and make you proud. Even though you physically left us, I still feel you presence in my heart and in my soul, I love you mom and thank you for giving me life and for making me the man I am today and you are in my taught and in my heart each and ever day.

Soon will be two years since you left us, seems like just yesterday, I miss your impeccable timing and your sense of humor, you are remembered very fondly, we can now joke about all the funny things you did and said, but always ends in a sad note, knowing you are no longer with us physically. My mom is a never-ending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune. - Posted by: Sharon & Ting Henson (Daughter & Son In Law) on: May 03, 2013
