Mom,
Six years ago today I received the call that you had passed.
Today throughout my workday I have had to stop what I was doing and brush tears out of my eyes. I wish that our relationship was better. I wish that some of our last words to each other were not what they ended up being... Note to anyone - remember the words that you say to anyone else may be the last or some of the last you ever have the chance to speak.
I'm still on that "emotional rollercoaster" not knowing what to think or how to feel.
That is all for now. I have to get back to work.
I need to wipe the tears from my eyes again.
Your Son,
Dave...

So sorry for your loss, I just wished to offer my condolences to you and the family at what is obviously a very sad and emotional time. Know in your heart that she died peacefully and that she is home now with our Father, along with those others who have passed before her, and that she is at peace, rejoicing in her love for her children and grandchildren as they mature into God loving people who will cherish their memories of her all their lives.

Sally, I regret that I did not apologize to you when you were still here - I know there were hard feelings between us for a long time but I was not totally to blame for the misunderstndings. You loved your children and grandchildren with all your heart - that I know. I just pray that you are at peace now. Your life was not really great and you went thru pain that no one really knows about. I hope you are able to forgive us for our transgressions in your life.
You were special to me for many years and I am really sorry for your unhappy life.. Love, Aunt Jane

Sally,
Sister, we had many disagreements. But I do remember many good times as well. I do wish you could have forgiven and moved on. Although, choices were made and in the end I hope you are with Jackie, Mom and Dad. Difficult times, burdens and many disagreements surrounded you. You lived as strangely as you have chosen to depart from us. I understand No service because you kept so many at a distance. I hope now you can be at peace. I have always loved you sister. I chose to keep negativity from my life, for I too... have been dealt some difficult cards. I will always love you. And now, that I know we will never fix our relationship; you have left that burden on me.. . but.. anyway... I hope you are at peace.

My dear sister Sally- I am so sorry that we had our problems. Either of us could have changed that but being a Brown it wasn't meant to be. I have always loved you and thought of you often. I know that God is with you and that you are out of pain- it's a shame that it had to be death that made it happen. I love you and always will. Please rest in peace and be happy.

Mom,
You lived a life of emotional turmoil and pysical pain. You experienced few joys in your lifetime and were often denied that which you enjoyed. Strained relations, emotions, lack of forgiveness and respect prevented you from being an active participant in the lives of your children and grandchildren. I regret that we were unable to put blame aside and come together in a way that everyone could be heard, respected and live true to themselves and free from guilt. I believe that's all any of us wanted. I'm sorry for my part in denying you some of life's simplest joys.
Mom, I hope that you are at rest and in peace. I love you.
Your Daughter,
Bobbie-Jeanne

I hadn't seen Sally for years but we did communicate on Facebook a few times. She had a strong faith and she loved her children. I know she wasn't in great health for some time. I pray for all of you in her loss. I hope you will find comfort in the One who gives it best. I know Sally loved the Lord, the best way she knew how. I will always remember the few times all of you came to the Brown reunion. God bless all of you.

To the Family,
I am so sorry for your loss; she was too young.
I know there were odd relationships between Sally and some of you, but from what I know, she had been through some trauma in her life and dealt with it the only way she knew how. Despite any hurtful words, she loved all of you...and as of now, she is at peace... her pain that existed here on earth, as well as the pain she caused, she now sees it clearly and is able to move foward...just know that she now surrounds you with love.
My Prayers to All of You,
Kristi †

Mom...
My emotions are quite stoic at this point. I'm at a loss for words as we had such an estranged & conflict filled relationship for the better part of 4 decades. I have shed a few tears and I cannot for the life of me come to any type of ideal as to where my mind is right now. All I can think is that I wished that our relationship could have been better.
I hope that any and all turmoil that you have felt and been going through for all of these years is gone. I'm sorry that everything turned out the way it did... Even though we hardly ever agreed or got along & our dislikes of so many things...
You gave me life & I love you for that. You are/were my mother...
I hope that you can Rest In Peace...
