Hi, Pippy. Another year. I see you and Michelle laughing as you watch the Grinch that Stole Christmas. Ki Ki is doing well. .She lost 2 front teeth. World is in a terrible place. I Hope it gets better, but it will take the lord to fix it. This year is gong fast. I see in an blink of an eye I will see you again You know what the friends, family and country are getting into. You have the best place to be with the Lord, I miss you and wish we could have grown old together, but God had another plan. I will work at being a better person and making the world a better place. You were that person that I looked at for the positivity. You gave me strength and faith. The world could use you, but God chose you. We love you and God willing will see you soon Love Mom and Ki Ki .

Hi Pippy, what a year. Country is very different. I do not think you are missing a thing. God is great and he has you safe and sound for which I am glad. Ki Ki is aging and I fear time for good health is running out, but I will love her and spoil her till she has to go home to you. No losses in the family, but you know the friends and country have lost many. I wish you were here to talk to, but again things are better your way than on earth. I hope to go back and see you this year. I felt badly as I missed last year, but know you know why. One great thing I have some pretty neat stuff to bling you up! You will look lovely when I am done. Years are going by faster and faster. I feel the Lord is not happy and understand why not. We are badly behaved and have forsaken him. I pray hi gives me courage to endure what is to come. This is where your great strength was. You never failed to show courage or believe. I envy that. I miss you and love you. Ki Ki and I share our love of you and look forward to the day we are with you again.. Till we meet gain. I love you!

Hi Pippy, another year has passed. I am sure you and Grandma Keene are having a great time.. All is well here. It looks like another hot summer and I remember how you hated the summer heat. I wanted to get a way this year for the summer, but unsure with the Coronavirus if I will or not. I keep in touch with your special friends, but some not so much. I believe time is running out for all of us with the evil in the world so I hope to see you soon as the years just roll by.. Ki Ki is like me getting older and she appears hard of hearing and some vision loss. I sure love the little monkey. I know you prayed for me to find love and while you did not mean a a pet she has been good for me. I miss Rusty as he was good boy, but the suffering before we pass on humans or animals as you know is heartbreaking. I miss you and wish you were here, but glad you have no more suffering. It tore my heart out to see you in pain. I hope I have kept all my promises to you. I have done my best. You were and are my hero. I love you so much and cannot wait till we see each other again..

Another Birthday without you. It would have been your 50th. You are missed so much. We still talk about you. Today we will celebrate you. Your mom did something wonderful and sent money to do a kindness in your honor. I am buying books for Kelley and Cathy’s children. I know how much reading and children meant to you. I also bought Harold some gloves for his work. Please know your never far away from our thoughts. Your mom really made sure you would have a wonderful 50th in heaven. Love and miss you.

Hi Pippy, I am sure you have Susie to celebrate heaven with. It was a rough year, but time is passing fast and so I shall soon be there. Ki Ki is doing fine almost 13 now, but has all good health tests per the vet. I hope to make the Grand Canyon this year for your 50th. Earth is not kind and is getting less kind daily. You always worried about my finding love well Ki Ki is the love and I am so glad she came with you and I am able to give her a good home. I think of you daily and wish things could have been different and you were here, but you and I both know you have the best place to be. I hope to make IN soon and see some of your friends that have kept in touch with for years. As you know I am behind on things here at the house so less sales and more home time after my In trip-ha ha. Lots of friends and family up there so I know you will be having the best time with them. Happy 2019 and soon Happy 50th.
I love you,
Mom and Ki Ki

Tonya it always seems like another year is over. I still want to pick up the phone. I will find a picture or card or something makes me think about you. Your mom knows butterflies remind me of you. She has helped add to a beautiful collection. Your mom is an amazing lady. She has taken on your job of helping people. She is always keeping busy. I always make sure to post on Facebook every year. Your still in so many happy memories. I still talk to Riley and Jonathan about Aunt Tonya. Jonathan just ate his first chicken nugget. He has problems with his chewing but he is an amazing kid. He is very close to walking. He loves to laugh and loves movies. Think he got that from you. He looks just like mark. I am sure you have been watching over me. Its been a hard hear for me. With love and prayers I am improving. Just know you are always and forever in my heart. Oh the made a move about our song I can only imagine. Cant wait to watch it. I promise no microwave popcorn.

Hi Pippy, another fast year. Only 1 uncle of yours on my side left. I am sure you and Bill are having visiits. Billy Graham is now with the Lord and am sure he is so gald to be with him and his wife. What a belief he had. His faith was strong as yours was. Ki Ki is fine . She is Grandma's girl, but we miss you so much. You know who I see and talk to you. As the years go by it is less and less as their lives go on. Even family forgets and go their way.They have fixed a new verifier on here so I am having difficulty with seeing what the letters are so if this does not take again you know why. I always have you in my heart and mind. Life is not easy and the earth full of sadness. You made it joyful and fun. Rana is getting better. Kelley and Riley happily seen Italy. I shall be there soon, but always take you on travels with me. Love you always!
Mom and Ki Ki

Hi Pippy, another fast year. We have now lost next to the last Uncle to you on my side. I am sure you and Bill have met and had may a conversation. Ki Ki is fine and spoiled as ever, but a blessing to me. As you know Kelly and Riley had a wonderful trip to Italy. I try to keep in touch with the friends some more than others. Lost one close person I care about to her son and know you are sad for me and her after so many years of friendship. I need to take lessons from you on kindness. some of the group are so thoughtful to me with calls and keeping in touch. A few more often than others. One of your groups has come with a movies and I will see it once it comes to my closer theatre to the house. I believe by Mercy Me "I can only Imagine" I know you loved them. I was surprised that when Michael W Smith sang at Billy Grahams funeral I was not overly impressed with his singing as I was an older person who led everyone to sing. He was wonderful. I sure Reverend Graham is blessed and is being blessed with his love of God and meeting his wife again. I miss you and know the years are going fast. I await to see you again!! Love you always! Mom

Hi Pippy, another year (5th) has passed and another loss in the family. I am sure you and Judy are talking your love of dogs. I found out they got Pomeranians due to your having Abbey. Ki Ki is spoiled as ever. She is a love:) I keep hearing you say" Mom you are so in love with her" . I have always loved her. Her eyes talk to me. She gives me comfort when I feel bad about letting you down. I was going to the Grand Canyon as i know how much you love it, but alas cabinet and granite-kitchen issues, but I will go later this year or next year. I see brett wrote of his feelings for you. He has tried to make up for the hurt he caused you! The years are going by fast so one day soon I will be with you-I hope. Your faith was awesome and gave me strength to make it through and still does. You were so great in the face of death. I hope I go with as much dignity and grace as you did and also the way you lived your life I am envious of. You will never be forgotten as long as I live. I miss you every day and my heart breaks you are not here, but I do not wish you to suffer the way you did and I know now you are in God's arm,s with no more pain or sorrow-how wonderful. This is a new format so had a little work to find you not knowing how it worked. You know I am a great with computers-right:) I hear from some of the group and try to let them know they are appreciated. You were blessed with may friends. My Dad always said if when you died you could count on 1 hand all your friends you were doing good. Well little girl there were many many hands of friends you had-what a blessing they were to you and you to them. I was blessed for 42 years to have you as my daughter-thank you! I love and miss you. Till we meet again Pippy keep a place for me!
Love you!
Mom

Tomorrow is five years you have been gone. So many things have happened that I know would make you so happy. When I held marks baby boy for the first time. He was beside me and we were at Kelley famous November birthdays party. But we just sat there the three of us and Mark said Tonya would have loved this. Your mom shared some of your baby things with them. It was such a wonderful moment. I tell Jonathan and Riley all about Aunt Tonya. I got her a nice scrapbook about travel. I thought about you when I picked it. I remember you saying you were scared people would forget about you. You are still a part of all of us. We laugh and cry and maybe snort. I promise I will tell Jonathan and Riley all the story's about you. You are missed so much. Harold and I are getting together for Steak and Shake tomorrow. We are also going to watch the Begees. Know that's not spelled right. I promise to do some random acts of kindness. Much love.

Hi Pippy ,another fast year. Time is flying by, but I wish I could have made sure we got you to a Dr. sooner, but alas I know you bear no grudges. I envy the no more sorrow or pain and the fact you have no more sickness and are loved and at peace. Sadly another year of losses. Uncle Larry and Debbie Schornhorst, but both terribly sick and no cure on earth so God has healed them. Ki Ki is fine sassy and spoiled. I hear from several of the group and need to do better at keeping in touch myself. I am trying to get the web site worked on to make it more user freindly, but as you know I have had no luck to date on that, but have another call in:) maybe this will be the miracle I am looking for and we can get it used as I meant it to be. What a day as you know I found the goblets I was looking for to match the set of your dishes I kept and a Gobel rabbit. I know you were looking out for me as I have looked high and low for the goblets. As you also know where-yes Tonya's estate sale as I found them at caring Transitions leftover estate sale stuff at Annebells Attic:). I will be out and about with balloons and a hike in Sabino Canyon if weaher allows in memory of your love of the place. Time on earth is going fast and I look for the day when I will see you again. I miss you calling and always remembering me. I miss not being able to ask you things as you knew so many things I never came close to knowing. I miss the fact you are not here, but most of all I miss you!
I love you!!
Mom

Hard to believe this will be four years. I believe you and Deb are making heavenly scrapbooks together. It's hard to think of you as gone. You are still so much a part of our lives. I like to think you got to see Jonathan before Mark and Tracy. I keep in touch with your mom. She helps so many people. Your RAOK are still being done. Just know you will never be forgotten. You are still very much loved and missed dearly. We will play God bless the broken road on the 28th for you and Deb as that's the song she played at your party when you left for Arizona.

Hi Pippy, another fast year. As the years go by as you know I hear less and less from friends, but that is the way it is on earth. I still have work to do on the website, but other things have been taken care of. I know you welcomed Larry Simms and soon if not a miracle Uncle Larry will be with you also. Ki Ki has been requiring more holding and affection in the evenings. I am not sure why, but I hope it is age and not an unexpected illness I do not know about. As you would say to me "Mom you are so in love with her".. She has wrapped her paws around my heart and because she is yours in additon to that , I love her dearly. Things on earth as you know are not good and Christ has been taken out of the country along with anti American leadership. If things continue at the rapid rate of moral, ethic and spiritual decline I may see you sooner than old age takes me. I have been very busy with Susie as you know and for the past 6 months al ot of my time has been on taking care of her issues. Hopefully this week will have seen the worst behind me. I sure miss you, but would not wish you back without the miracle cure. You continue to inspire me with faith, courage and dignity that you showed in the face of death on earth. I know you are in a place of no more pain and sorrow and that is the only way I can continue on with life on earth. I am sorry I did not get you to specialist sooner, but know you are so forgiving that you would not want me to dwell on it. Only God knows if we had taken you to a Dr in 2009 if your life on earth would have been saved. I am sending the balloons with my love to you tomorrow with Susie. I received some lovely flowers in your memory from Bonnie and they are on your table. I find pennies and hear some of the things you would say to me. What a special daughter you are. I love and miss you!!
Love Mom

Hi Pippy, a year has passed since you were taken to relieve your pain and suffering. It has been a short yet a fast year. It seems like yesterday yet forever ago. I have worked all year on all the promises I made to you. Most of them have been done and as the years go by all I am able to make happen will be done. I sadly had to put Charley to rest the day before your 9th month of passing and it broke my heart, but as you there was no sure and she was suffering. I will spread her and Special's ashes over yours in Jun this year. I have been in contact with most of your closet friends. I am working on the one in Ca to settle any misunderstandings and open the door to contact with her. You know the years are a day to the lord or even a shorter time and I will see you soon, but in the meantime all promises to you will be kept and I will do my best to be there for your friends. I am sure you hear as you will know what is going on that Kelley and Ron have an offer on the hosue today. We love that you are there for all of us our own special angel. I will talk to you often Pippy and I love you. You will not be forgotten!!!
