This day repeats in my mind everyday, but every year it will always find me wherever I am and whatever I am doing. I stop in my tracks and relive the sadness and pain I felt that day 6 years ago when we lost our mama. I knew you weren’t in pain anymore and somehow that got me through. But now my pain sits with me everyday, longing to see you again. Settling for dreams and memories just isn’t enough for me. Your voice and your laugh make me long for the times when my heart didn’t know this grief. I love you mom, be nice to dad!! lol.

This week, I’m thinking about you a lot. Now that both of you are gone, I wonder why so early and why didn’t I think to spend even more time with the both of you. I feel like dad was a sense of comfort when you passed away and now I crave to have you here now that I’m dealing with the passing of him. I long for your comfort and your humor in this hard time and I wish you were here mom. Love, your baby, Samonkey

It's been 5 years from today... God called you to his kingdom.  These past couple wears has been
crazy. A lot has happened. High school hasn't been the best. I’m more to myself leading me to not really make friends. But I still manage. I did pull though my tough year of bad grades. That was a struggle. But I’m now steady at a 4.17. Softball has been good, I’m still trying to figure out my full potential. I had won MVP for the past 2 years. Oh and yeah I started playing waterpolo. Man that is so draining. I had gotten the coaches award for that. Thanks to softball I have a great arm in waterpolo. I can throw the ball ALL the way across the pool. I have started to build a true relationship with Jesus. Tia Val has been a lot of help. She started a podcast it is REALLY  good, you'd be proud of her. These 5 years had a lots of ups and downs. I love you and miss you endlessly Grandma Money 

Hey Grandma Money,

Val and I have been missing you so much lately.  Nathan has also been missing you.  He has your purple Princess Diana bear that he calls his Grandma Money bear.  He has to sleep with it every night and when he is having a hard time he says that he misses you and it just breaks our hearts.  We had to watch your video the other day with him and Joseph.  Now Joseph has to watch the Monga Money video.  He always points at the old pictures of you and Adrian and say look momma and Jo Jo.    Now that we are in Oklahoma Nathan has a picture of you, in a Coca Cola frame of course, over his bed.  I just wanted to let you know that we all miss you and wish you could see how much the boys miss you all the time.

Love,

Jason (your favorite son-in-law)

Hi Grandma Money,
Today marks three years since I last seen you. I made your Thanksgiving stuffing this year! I don't think it turned out exactly like yours, but I tried my best-it was pretty good though. BUT GUESS WHAT! I MADE IT ON VARSITY SOFTBALL WITH NO TRY OUT. Pretty crazy huh? We are still online for school because of the whole pandemic we are in. It's kind of hard to focus from home but I manage to do so.  I miss you so much, but I know you're resting peacefully now, but there still is an ache in my heart. I just remember the good times I've had with you and I feel better. Like how you gave me my favorite stuffed animal for my seventh birthday, Kanga (my kangaroo stuffed animal). Or when you would call me every birthday saying "Do you have a job yet? " Those were some good times and I remember a lot more.  I know you are in good hands of the amazing Lord. "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope."- 1 Thessalonians 4:13
- Love you always,
                                         Dalene

Hey Grandma Money, I just wanted to say that I miss you a lot. It's funny though because I have a picture of you in my room and every time I see it it makes me smile and it feels like your here with us.  Some questions I have for you are how are you doing and how is it in heaven? For the most part, I've been doing well I got a 4.1 for both my first and second quarters, also I'm getting bigger now you would be surprised! And I'm growing some profound facial hair 😎. But now theirs this pandemic called the coronavirus or Covid-19, it's basically a respiratory disease that later causes breathing problems, etc. So the school said," hey kids were gonna have a 2-week break from school then come back because Covid-19 will not be that serious."  Yeah, no, this was almost a year ago 🤦‍♂️. So, we've been doing online school and classes through Zoom, and IT SUCKS. Let's just say making kids sit down for 1-2 hours each class in their ROOM is not a good idea. Only because you are surrounded by distractions and you can literally just walk away from your computer and slack off. Also, Covid-19 caused so many friendships to stop, well in a way it shows you who your true friends are. This is because your true friends will still text you during a pandemic and they'll ask you to hop on the game or ask you to go places.  Anyways enough ranting about my problems with online school. I just wanted to say that I miss you and I love you so much, Grandma. Also, my cousin told me this new bible verse and I think I'm going to start using it because I can see it benefiting me a lot. 
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 TIMOTHY 1:7
Ok, I think I'm going to be going over the max limit of words or characters. Bye, grandma money I love you and miss you so much, nice talking to you 😊!

Missing you today! Been having dreams with you in them and it always coincides to my day. I am happy that it still feels like you are here everyday. Nathan loves you and misses you. He has a bear that was yours and calls it Grandma Money bear. He has to have it and actually, when he has a meltdown, he is only calmed by your bear. He took it to school on stuffed animal day and was so happy to share you with his friends. I remind him everyday that he was your sweetheart. He said the other day that he wished he could grow backwards and get to age three so you would be alive again! Wow!! I didn't realize how much he remembered you and I guess that goes to tell us how much love you have him when you were alive. We love and miss you so much! Can't wait to fellowship with you in the presence of Jesus!!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA MONEY!!! You are 63 years old today!!! I hope you are having the best birthday in heaven because you deserve it! I did an ofrenda for you this day of the dead, it came out amazing! 
Just to catch you up on the what is going on. I never knew high school was going to be this hard. ITS EVEN ONLINE AND ITS STILL HARD!! But I managed to find out a way to fight through it. 
I hope your birthday was the best! I wish we could’ve celebrated it together but i know you are here in spirit. 
I love and miss you always, 
Dalene 

Hey Grandma Money 
Happy Mother’s Day I wish you were with us like everyone else does. Although you are here in our hearts forever and always. I love you and I miss you!

Hey grandma money , it has been 2 years since I’ve seen you and I miss you a lot. I have been struggling with a lot of things like balancing school and baseball. I just realized how hard it is to maintain good grades when you make varsity and have gate classes. This year has just been a big struggle for me , but I know I will conquer it. Anyways today is the day that god chose you to become one of his angel 2 years ago. So I just wanted to tell you how things have been going so far and that I miss and love you so much goodbye grandma ❤️ 

Always loved ❤️
Never forgotten 
Forever missed
 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
💫Love you grandma money 💫 

Even on a Tuesday, almost two years later I still think of you every day. Especially when Nathan has a one of your beanie babies and call her Grandma money. He finds such comfort in her and will not go to sleep without her. He says Grandma Money protects and comforts him during sleep. He needs that bear in every situation and loves it dearly. I just wish he was able to tell those things to you on a daily basis. I remember the sound of your voice when you would talk to him on the phone. Saying “Hi sweetheart!” Every time he came to the phone and just gabbed all through the conversation. You of course telling him “yeah right,” or “you’re a silly coconut.” Those things I think he remembers because he calls me a silly coconut all the time and that only comes from you. I miss you so much it hurts sometimes to think about you. I know it’s been a while but it rarely feels easier. The void in my heart where you used to be here on earth with me aches when I need you. Especially now, I need you so much. I need that phone call, I need that nagging over everything I did with the boys (in a good way) and I need that laugh. But, I have faith in our savior and that you are with Him and that comforts me because I will be as well when it’s my time. We will praise in heaven together! 

Birthday Wishes sent to Heaven 
from your family below 
We miss and love you dearly 
and we wanted you to know.

Your Birthday’s is not forgotten 
and your memory, lives on 
We celebrate the life you had 
even though you’ve gone. 

If we were given just one wish 
one wish that would come true
We’d wish you back besides us
to spend this day with you.

We will always love and miss you 
and often shed a tear 
Especially on your special day 
year after year.

"Happy Mothers Day in Heaven"

"Dear grandma in heaven 
I just wanted you to know 
How much I miss you everyday
And how much I love you so 

I cannot send you a card 
But I can send you my love 
Upon the wings of angels 
To heaven up above 

I wish you happy mothers day 
For you were the best 
To have you for my grandma
I knew I had been blessed

Rest in peace my angel 
One day we will be together
The next time I see you 
I know it will be forever"



HAPPY MOTHERS DAY GRANDMA MONEY YOU WILL FOR EVER BE IN OUR HEARTS !!! ♥️❤️

We went to dinner last night and we felt your presence with us. I so wish you were still here in person. There are so many things I want to tell you and show you. First is your new grandson. He is so precious and smart. You would love him!! And Nathan has grown so much, I wish I could hear the conversations you two would have. I miss you all the time. Especially, when I reach for my phone to call or ask a mom question. It’s been hard without you here, but I realize you are so much better off where you are now. I can’t wait to see you mom. 

Hi grandma it’s Eli. It’s been a year since the last time god has called you up to a better place. I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I love you. Goodnight grandma money I love you

I want to take a moment and THANK GOD for giving me such a funny, amazing, grandmother. Grandma money never forgot our birthdays, she always made time to call us and wish us a happy birthday. She was so real she didn't change anything about herself to be liked by others. What you see is what you get. I beleive that everything that happens in life , good or bad, has a learning lesson. We just need a moment to reflect. When your going to take a picture of a scenery or your food, even a selfie. Step back and take a picture of the people sharing that moment with you first because in the long run the picture of your love ones will matter the most. Always charish your loved ones. 

" If Roses Grow in Heaven"

If roses grow in heaven lord please pick a bunch for me place them in my grandmothers arms and tell her i lover her and I miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while
Because remembering her is easy I do it everyday. 
But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. "

So, remember always think of the good times with your family because you never know when the time has come for them to go... 

Thank you Margaret, you are my friend and my mentor. And the memories I have with you are the best!!! You will be in my heart forever. I will miss you

I love this picture of her. That was one memory I was fortunate enough to be with her and her friends that night. Yesterday when I met with my father in law who will be delivering the message for her services to tell him stories of her, at first was kind of difficult because i guess all I could think about the last few days was just the fact that she was gone but after a while they just came flowing out like a river and I think she did that. She stepped in and just told him who she was through me and I am very thankful for that. Thank you mom for always being and doing the best you could even in times I knew I didn't help you, you still know that I wished I could. I hope you know that even when I was a brat, I loved you very much!
