Happy Birthday Mom.. I sure do miss you.. wish we could have gotten past our differences ... your family celebrated your bday, without me of course. Not invited AGAIN.  ILL NEVER understand it and now I really can't let it go it's really hurting me . 

Love u always 

My condolences and prayers to all her family. I met Kris and her family when my son was 6 years old. We bought a house right down the street from them. My son Alex became friends with Jimmy , Jaime, and Jenny. They spent most of their childhood together. Kris and I became fast friends.

 Little did I know that Kris was the daughter of one of my grandmother's card playing buddies! I knew  her mom Sharlene first and was surprised to know my new neighbor was her daughter! Small world !

It was my privilege to be maid of honor at Kris and Darrel's unforgettable wedding . In the coming years on weekends we would often get together  to play cards and drink tequila or sing Karioke and drink tequila while our kids played. Our favorite song to sing together was  Hold on by Wilson Phillips. 

Although in later years we had drifted apart she remained a dear friend. 

I miss you mom, I wish I knew what you were going through.  I hate myself for allowing the distance between us. It was never like that before.  You were my best friend for a long long time. 

Love you always and forever 

Your daughter,

Jamie Lee Clelland
