    Momma was always my heart, my strength, my rock, and my hero. She was the one that was always there for me no matter what. And I would say that She will always be in my heart but i can’t say that because she was my heart. I love you more than life itself momma and I will be with you again one day. I promise you that.

    Aunt Deedee… it’s been soooo long since I’ve since those sparkling eyes and that beautiful smile, that I just unfortunately had to see on this 🙁 I wish we could’ve been closer to you and my cousins, life goes so fast and before you know it, here we are. Although thousands of miles and many decades separated us, I can honestly say this, you are my blood and I love you. My heart hurts just to know that my aunt is no longer here, on earth, with us and the pain my cousins are going through, because i know… my dad was one of my favorite people. Love and prayers to my Arkansas family 💖 Aunt Deedee, give grandma and my dad a big hug from me. ~Heather Mae Thornburg
