Kelsey was an old soul who loved with her entire being. She always stuck up for the underdog. She was sassy, spoke her mind and told you the truth. She was intelligent, witty and persevered through the hardest times. She loved her son so very much.

Every memory is my favorite because that’s all I have now. She loved to eat chips and dip by the spoonfuls as a kid. She loved camping and trips to California and loved to make other people smile and laugh by being a total goofball. When she laughed you couldn’t help but join in. The day her son was born was the happiest day of her life. She said she found her purpose and loved him with every fiber of her being.

Everything. I miss everything about her. Her smile, her laughter, her hugs, her messy bedroom, her towels on the floor, her makeup all over my bathroom, her hair extensions in my sink, hair dye spilling on my cabinets, her ability to forgive, her touch, her eyes, her being a daredevil and one of the boys, her grace, her beauty, her touch, her smell…but if I had to name one…it would be watching her raise her son and seeing what an incredible human being she created. That’s what I miss the most.

Kelsey would want to be remembered as a loving mother to her son, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece, a cousin, and a devoted friend. She would want people to remember her as a human being who had a family that loved her to infinity and beyond and misses her with every breath they take…not as another statistic. Remember her smile, her kindness, her selflessness, her humor, her beauty both inside and out and how she made you laugh. Remember all the fun, and her everlasting light .

My son was a wonderful person gifted with the ability to meet anyone, talk to anyone. He had a zest for life and liked to tease friends and family. When he wasn’t suffering from a bout of depression and anxiety, coupled with binging on drugs he tried to help others going to AA by giving them rides to mtgs, some work for those getting out of rehab. He was a special person who love me, his mother, and his sons deeply.

My favorite memory of Chris was his big smile and hugs and always telling me I was the greatest Mom.

His hugs and his smile.

As loving his family dearly.

The biggest supporter to everyone he loved.

She was a giant pain in my butt! A pretty good sister, a great aunt! A mom, a good friend. A lot crazy!! But if you were one of her people she loved you with her whole ❤️

I miss her little voice saying my name, her smile, mostly I miss My Little sister

She would want to be remember as a great hearted woman, a loyal person, a great Aunt and sister. And loved by her children.

She had the most beautiful smile n biggest heart. She would always put others before herself. Everyone who met her loved her. She was an loving n kind , generous n selfless., brave n courageous,, fearless soul.

Lanie was beautiful,kind, loving,she was also tormented. She tried so many times to get sober.she loved her family especially her children and grandchildren. We miss her every day.

She was funny. When she was about 12, she told us that she couldn't do dishes because if she locked her knees, would faint.. we laughed.

Everything! She would be gone for a long time and then I would come home from work and there she would be. I still hope someday she'll just show up.

As a good person.

He was not only my son but my friend he was a beautiful young man with a contagious smile and full of humor! He loved to talk about God with people and would have been a great salesman lol he is and always will be loved and missed by so many

Every memory I have is my favorite

Everything

The family peacemaker, loved by friends and people that met him.

A wonderful son, great brother and Uncle, memorable friend that will never be forgotten..

My BIG brother was my favorite! I loved him with my whole heart, my whole life! Deep, kind, gentle spirit, relentless to his core yet always a little “off the beaten path”. He made struggling look easy, and problems seem NON-Negotiable. My BiG bRo💔

Saturday morning cartoons and cereal in our neon Tupperware bowls….. flashlight alley tag and catching lightening bugs. Him sleeping on my bedroom floor while
I was afraid of the dark.
——-watching him become a father & then be a daddy!
- the phone call* which resulted in my pregnant self moving in with Him and taken care of 💜 him always being THERE, silent and in the background, yet alert, and aware. I LOVE you Michael!

His laugh, -knowledge, -determined work ethic, & His ‘roll with the punches, don’t bitch too much, attitude’! His teasing,⤵️ my whining🫣LOL
Evening tv on couch
Balloon ware fare and alllll the school AMs

Full of life with a hippie heart and a music filled soul! Flying high in the sky, with a joint in one hand, tossing a hacky sack in the other!

CJ was a kind soul that loved his family. He loved to make music and loved animals, especially his cat Pumpkin.

His excitement when he made a new song.

We will miss everything about him and will think of him and love him always.

Cj made a mistake that cost him his life but that wasn't who he was. He would want to be remembered for the kind person he was and a great musician.

Allison was a very kind person she loved everyone and everything.she liked spending time with her friends taking pictures and spending time with her cat forest

One time we went out to eat to get a pizza when the pizza came she took a piece of pizza out and slapped me in the face with it.i was shocked but we laughed and I chased her around .

I miss holding her hand.i miss her voice and just her presence around me I could be having a bad day and being able to talk to her on the phone or when she was here she always made me happy

Kind to everyone no matter what she loved her friends she loved to laugh she will never be forgotten

He was very unique, rough around the edges, he did not always have it easy, but he had a heart of gold.

I had bought him a very nice coat for his birthday, he had wanted it for a long time, I believe he was in his 20’s. His birthday is September 28, 1982. In December, he was Christmas shopping, and saw a homeless veteran begging for money. My son took him to get something to eat. Gave him what ever money he had, a blanket that was in his car, and gave him that coat…that is a heart of gold.

His laugh, his presence in this world.

As a person that did things his way. He learned through his life, not to take any crap from anyone. He was 6’ 5”. Had a huge presence when he walked into a room.. But he was also known for being mischievous, and loved to laugh and made others laugh. He also loved giving people the middle finger, especially if he liked you.

My Abbie was a beautiful, brown eyed fun loving, free spirited wild child. She could light up a room when she walked in. She could make you smile when you're feeling blue.

Our 2020 Myrtle Beach Trip. She had the most fun being with family.

Her hugs, laugh, smile, big giving heart. Her waking me up at 5:30 A.M. to say move over Mama so I can take a nap in your big comfy bed. But most of all I will miss these word: Mama, I love you

As a good friend, having a big generous, caring & loving heart. Loving person who always helped others even when she was struggling herself.
