Mom,

This year marks 15 years. There are days when it seems just like yesterday you were here and then there are days when I am trying so hard to hold on to memories.

We celebrated a Sweet 16 birthday with Macy this year. Can’t believe she is a mini adult. She is destined to be a singer and knocks it out of the park with Strawberry Wine! Madie is a special little lady. She is a good friend to anyone that comes her way. Her cooking and baking skills almost rival her mom’s. Her chicken fried steak will be famous one day! Taylor crushed her volleyball season and was awarded MVP for her school team. Between her grades and her sports, she does not drop any balls! Beckham continues to hold his own amongst his girl cousins. If it were up to him, he would fish, play football and baseball and eat Chick-fil-A every day. Sweet Lily is getting so tall! You should see her dancing skills as she is such a performer! And baby June is the cutest. Hard to beat those cheeks. Her personality is really shining through as the best little sister!

This year was a tough one as we lost our sweet precious Sierra. The pain we have felt is hard to comprehend. She was one of a kind. I know you always loved her more like a daughter.

It’s hard to believe so many incredible people in our family are no longer here. We hold onto their memories strongly. They all made such an impact on so many others which makes us all proud. We know you are all together and that makes us all smile through the tears.

Your memory makes each day better.

Love,

Kristi
