I love you!
Mom, I miss you so much. There is a hole in my heart that will not heal. I just want to talk to you. I love you so much.
It’ is so strange not coming to see you on Wednesday when I pick up the kids, sitting on the couch snacking while you gave me the latest gossip. We’re planning to go to the mountains this summer and it feels so weird that you won’t come with us this time. You took so great care of your grandkids and I’m sure they miss getting spoiled by you. I can’t tell you how much we love and appreciate you being there for them and us. I’m still waiting for a text from to remind me to tell Melis something that you said or to let you know what time we’re picking you up.
I wish I could hug you!
Mom, not a minute goes by that you are not on my mind. I love and miss you so much.
I have so many memories with Gaylene! Her and I talking on the phone and she asking me when I was going to come over to Clean her Window's for they needed to be cleaned again, her telling me how rude I was and of course I always agreed with her! I miss giving her a hard time! There are times I pick up the phone to call her and I remember I can't and sometimes I think I hear her call tune and I look at my phone knowing it isn't making a sound!
Many great memories. So often I remember Gaylene laughing. Her laugh was contagious and could change the air in any room. One of my very favorite memories is when she babysat me and my sister and taught us to put black olives on each of our fingers and wave them around laughing hysterically... Yep, her laugh was the best!
Dearest Gaylene. We had so much fun as kids and classmates in Three Forks! Through social media we were able to reconnect and I so enjoyed being a part of the posts you shared of you and your beloved family. What a wonderful mom and grandma you were! Love and miss you. I will see you on the other side ❤️
I will always remember you for your smile and your love for your family. You will be so deeply missed.
Mom, you memorial was beautiful. There were a lot of people there. You were so loved by so many!
