Dear Mom and Dad,
My success in college and graduate school are due to your belief in my ability to succeed. I have had many opportunities to to continue my education through your support and encouragement. I started as a teacher. Developed in to a teacher who supported teachers in the classroom. You encouraged my desire to continue my education at the University of Georgia and earning a doctorate degree. None of this would have been possible without support from you and dad and your belief in me. I am grateful for all that you and dad did in encouraging me to continue my education.
Love You Mom and Dad,
Your Daughter Karen

Before this virus, I missed seeing you in Church. It was at that point I kinda figured you were finishing the race of this life. I will always remember you and our Church friendship and look forward to seeing you in the Beauty of Heaven 🙏🏻. Blessings, Bill Scheve

Mom,
You were there in the darkest hours of my life when I lost Chris. We shared a bond when you lost Joyce. It’s ironic that we both lost our first born. I will miss all of our secret note passing and talks in your hot room. Your help as our fill up girl will be greatly missed. You always kept our supplies full.
I will always miss your terrific neck and foot massages. You always knew when I needed you.
I can’t say it enough I’m going to truly miss all of your help. All of your children are giving people. We all learned from the best you and dad. Take care of Joyce and Chris. Give Dad a hug and a kiss 💋 from me. One thing I’m truly going to miss is your expertise on drawing up my B-12 shots.
Love,
Your darling daughter, Julie

Mom,
You were there in the darkest hours of my life when I lost Chris. When Joyce passed we shared a bond of what it was to lose a child. It’s ironic it was both of our first born.
I will miss all of our secret note passing and talks in your room. Your help as our fill up girl will also be missed. You always kept our supplies filled up. I will miss your neck and foot massages. You always knew when I needed you. I’m truly going to miss all of your help. All of your children are giving people. We all learned from the best you and dad.
Take care of Joyce and Chris . Give dad a big hug and kiss 💋 from me
Last but not least I’m truly going to miss your expertise on drawing up my B-12 shots.

Aunt Dolores was truly one of a kind. She was someone so kind, so compassionate, so gracious, and so full of the Spirit. I was truly inspired by her faith in God, and I have been inspired by her so much over the years. She recently called us to ask how we were doing, and it was so good to hear from her again. I loved how positive she was, and I did not know that was going to be the last time I heard her voice - but I now know that she is welcomed by her Lord and is partying with the angels, restored to full sight, sound, and radiant joy.
I send deepest condolences to her family members during this time. Dolores was one of a kind and is truly missed. I will remember and cherish her always. With most sincere sympathies,
Mike

It was a real pleasure getting to know you over the past several years. You were quite an amazing woman. You raised such a wonderful son - John! He is truly one of the most selfless and loving people I have ever met. I believe he acquired these traits from you. For this, I will always be thankful to you. I am so honored to have him as my husband and in my life. It is a true blessing to be a part of your Konke family!

Growing up year after year receiving letters in the mail from you never failed to put a smile on my face. I loved reading them and writing you back. I’ll never forget when you sent me sixteen presents on my my sixteenth birthday, and thinking this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I’ll deeply miss you and our letters back and forth. It brought me such joy to get to know such an amazing woman.

Mother Dearest,
There were times that we walked together. And then from the womb and for the next fifty-eight years you carried me. You taught me to put others before self. I am the man I am today because of you. This lesson has served me well. You and dad were great teachers by example. A large part of our family tree has been pruned but fear not for there are young branches waiting to bloom and make those that have gone before them proud. The photo I post is a testament of your selflessness. I was to be comforting you, but it is you that is holding my hand.
Love Forever & Always John

Nana,
I can’t thank you enough for all the memories you have given me. I always look through all of the albums you have made me. I love comparing the boys to pictures of Dad, Aunt Joyce, Aunt Karen, and Aunt Julie. When making an icecream come at home, it must be a double Neapolitan come. Please give Papa and Aunt Joyce a kiss from me and please tell them all about my boys. I know I’ve gained a guardian angel that will watch over all of us. Love you so much. Xoxo Jessica

Nana, the lady in the kitchen with the perfect perm. Was she cooking omelets or was she making her famous French toast? Whichever it was it was the best! After that she would make you a double down cone! She taught me a lot of life skills I’m not sure she realized but I’m grateful she did! When I was little and thunderstorms would occur she would tell me it was grandpa and Jesus bowling and they were getting strikes! Well nana after 35 years waiting for Grandpa Ed you both are bowling with Jesus now! I love you and will never forget you or your life lessons! Please send all of the family protection from above!

What a blessing it was to get to know you and be a part of your life over the years! I’ve never met a woman quite like you. Your love of Jesus was beautiful and radiated from you. You prayed over me and blessed me, what a gift! You were funny and loving, full of wisdom and scripture and laughter and love. I am forever grateful my children got to spend time with their Great Grandma Dee. I smile when I think of you restored in paradise with your Savior and loved ones! Until we meet again...

Nana,
I miss you dearly and I am not the only one. It brings me comfort to know that you are in Heaven with our loved ones who have went before you. I will miss you, miss your back massages, miss your daily blessings, your humor, your wisdom, your advice, your stories, your essence. You were a truly wonderful grandmother and great-grandmother. You will forever be remembered in our hearts, minds and Prayers.
Love you always, Eric.

I’m going to really miss you. You were the light in my time of darkness. You were a big help around the house as our fill up girl. I’m going to miss all your help. Take care of Joyce and Chris. Give dad a big kiss and hug for me. I love all of you. Love ❤️ Julie
