Casey and family – so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a very sweet lady.
When we got to Florida we held a towel for each other by the car so we could get our swimsuits on then we walked as fast as we could to the ocean and held each others hands and went into the water together had such a fun time that day and will always treasure this memory with you Angela !!! Will be missed dearly love you always
I get choked up but I don’t mind cuz I know its cuz we were very close. I’m glad you guys had fun on your road trip journey!
So sorry to hear of her passing. I know she was an important part of your life Casey and she will be missed. My prayers to you and your family. Chris Brodt
I am thinking of you!!!! I miss you telling me what to pick up! And telling you it’s fine the vacuum will get it later! But I always pick it up anyway! Lol
Listening to some pink and others…. So so what!!!! You’re still a rockstar!!!!
I threw some batteries in your precious furby, “meow meow” was interested too! Furby played “red light, green light” with me then spit the batteries out when I wouldn’t loose!!! Lol
I found some things in my moms phone tonight! What a treat! And some from my phone too!… I decked out a corner in my basement for your lights, little man’s birthday party, Bethany put some roses where your real roses grow, flowers, Lucy Lu, throwback from when you guys lived in 200 block, your brown dog Derby, You had to get that shirt for $1 when marketplace first started( I have the shirt), throwback wayback-beautiful, the “PINK!” concert, grandma Sandy and Missy Prissy the princess, candle talk, that wrapper from the dove candy we never read them but I had to read that one! Love you!
I keep finding some pretty cool stuff that’s quite important to me. This is the letter my mom wrote to me, a thank you note for taking her to see PINK! At summerfest, and we also had so much fun besides the concert, we stayed all night in hotel, which we got lost trying to get back to the hotel after the concert and we just laughed about it, even though we were so tired from driving all the way there to Milwaukee Wisconsin, listening to pink most of the drive, we smiled and laughed more than either of us ever have. We also lit off some pink fireworks on the parkaid and we got matching souvenir shirts , and matching tattoos, both our phones died and the camera I brought for backup even died, but we both knew that stuff didn’t matter cuz the best part of it ALL! Was when pink sang it was so awesome and it was so unreal I couldn’t believe it was happening and I was so glad I got to share it with my mom and my best friend forever, Angela. I love you!
I always remember to say “I love you” when I leave someone i care about and family, and my kids do it too. My mom always used to tell us how if you don’t say “i love you” and then something happens to the other person and you will feel sad for not getting to tell them again. Sometimes I would leave her place and tell her “I Love You” but then I would poke my head back in and tell her again just to make sure she heard me. I also remember the first night she called an ambulance and I throughly it was gonna be a bad thing so I said it a bunch of times while I followed her to the wagon then I yelled it to her when they drove away, I felt a little embarrassed since there was some people outside watching but I didn’t care!!!
