Can it be that 7 LONG years, have gone by???? We all still miss you like it was just yesterday that you were taken from us. I pray that Libby found her way to you and that you will look out for her until I can be where you are. I love you and miss you more than words can say. I know you watch over all of us, I can feel you sometimes and I know you are still with me....I can't figure out how to get over being without you :(

I miss you every single day of my life, my heart longs to talk to you, my soul tells me I will be with you again someday and WHAT a WONDERFUL DAY that will be. I am sure you and Lynne are so happy to see each other. I cannot wait till the day that I can be where you are and tell you EVERYTHING that I have missed telling you and hearing your thoughts and your comments. Love you to the moon and back. AND am so GLAD you picked me to be your one and only daughter. Thank you for being my mom, my best-friend and my inspiration.....and for teaching me to be me and for teaching me to love myself and be proud of myself and to stand up to injustice, THOSE were and still are the greatest gifts you ever gave to me.
Hey Mom :) I miss you still and wish you were here.
Miss my auntie, wish you were here for a hug and a dance :-) keeping it old school for you


Hey Mom...I MISS you EVERY SINGLE day...today was a day I needed to talk to you....man, I wish you had a cell phone in Heaven...oh boy, how I wish you were HERE!!!!
For Patti and the rest of the family, I just heard last night after 27 years of being apart about Elsa. I am so sorry for the loss and I have the fondest of memories of us growing up together. Patti, you were my big sister and Elsa was my 2nd momma. She is is in heaven keeping watch over all of you and that sudden whisper that doesn't seem to make sense is her giving you the love and guidence she would of gave it she was on earth.
The body is only the shell which protects what is so important... the love we have for each other. Patti, I love you and will never lose you again,
your lil sis, Caroline##imported-begin##Caroline Nauman (Carol)##imported-end##
