I love u Mom.
We love you and will miss you.
We never got to spend as much time with my Aunt Donna as I would have liked. My dad wasn’t much for family visits, but I’ll always remember my Aunt calling him “Bobby Gene” when we did get together for family reunions or holidays, and the occasional casual visit. For some reason, my Aunt Donna seemed to bring out the little boy in him whenever she called him that, and that will always made me smile. I miss them both. Sending our love to our entire family.
We will miss you mom
I miss you so much, Love you mom.
