"Mother" 
Real life is a funny thing you know. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything.
I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say "I love you." When we should've said "I'm sorry." When we didn't stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help.
So say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. Say it in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying "I could've, but it's too late now."
There is a time for silence. There is a time waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you'll know it.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak------now.
You are the best mother a son could ever hope to have in their life, and I say this for you as well as all who pass this way. Time can't silence my love. I love you mother, and have always loved you more than life itself. No regrets. 
Love always and forever, your son, Alton Jr.

In memory of Aunt Vi. Love Linda Goodson Skaggs.

Deb, I am praying for you during this time of loss (her gain). 
      "Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death
        You will fear no evil, for He is with you
         His rod and His staff will comfort you" Psalm 23
                                                                          Pam Snyder

To Deb & your family, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother.  May God bless you in this difficult time and may you find comfort in your loved ones.  We miss you and are sending you hugs!

Deb - I'm very sorry for loss. Saying good-bye to a parent is one of the most difficult things we endure. Just remember that we are all children of God and His Kingdom is ours: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16. You and yours are in out thoughts and prayers.

Deb, 

 Sorry to hear of your loss, you and your family are in my prayers. The Lord be with you at this time, and may the peace of Christ be with you, knowing she is heaven waiting for you is of great comfort.  Donna White

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Deb - I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.  I know that you will deeply miss her but you will always have her in your memories.  Take care and we will talk when you get back.

Marvin and I wish you and the children our deepest condolences on the loss of your best friend and your Mother. As you are well aware, we thought of her as more than a friend. Over the years she became like the sister neither one of us had. We are sorry that we could not be with you all at this time, but in our hearts we are. Our children felt like she was an Aunt that they didn't have. We will always remember her big heart and wonderful smile, and will miss her always.May God take care of her now and keep her safe. Love Marsha and Marvin and girls

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our deepest condolences to all of Vi's family, especially to Al and her children.  We have many memories to Vi to cherish.
