Momma, 

It's been 5 years and 12 days since you left this earth and it still doesn't seem real. I miss you more than ever, the selfish part in me wishes you were still here but I wouldn't want you to have to suffer in this crazy world. I feel so alone at times. There are so many unanswered questions that I have for you and the answers to the questions only you have the answers to so the will remain unanswered. I really wish I didn't take the time that you were on this earth for granted because with the happy memories I have of you, I have the memories of times I should of treated you better because the love you had for me was unconditional no matter what I did or how I treated you loved me in spite of how I treated you and I seriously regret it. I really wish I could've let you know how much I loved you before you left this earth. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Your Grandchildren are getting bigger by the day Da'Vian is 18, Jer'Rae is 16, Jayceon is 9, JJ is 3 and Emma is 1. Please remember me when I see you again, I love you and I will continue to morn you until my dying breath. 

Your Son
Jerald

Auntie Shawn, 
We miss you SO MUCH! I want you to know we are taking care of Jerald,  Kristi and your grandkids. They are never alone, that I can promise you. I know you are smiling down on them, watching over them and helping to guide them. I hope you, PaPa, Grammy, AJ, John and everyone else who has passed on are all together heaven smiling, singing, laughing, and joking. Rest in eternal peace. I love you!!

Momma,

It has been 4 years since you left this earth but I can still remember it like it was yesterday, it was the worst day of my life. I miss you so much, I wish I could've had more time with you here on this earth but all I am left with are memories and photos. All I want is to talk to you and hug you so tight. I wish I appreciated you more while you were here because I regret that I didn't now that you are gone and I am so sorry. Since you have been gone you have two more Grandchildren Jerald Ray Burley Jr (2) we call him JJ and Emma Elaine Burley (1 month, 1 day as of today 6 Oct). We gave her your middle name as an honor to you, she will definitely know where her name came from. Jer'Rae (15) is getting more mature by the day and can you believe she is a Sophomore in high school, my baby has really grown up. I also got married in April when we visited San Antonio, don't worry the family loves her.  I really wish you were here, I really do. I think about you every single day and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and call out your name. Please watch over us and when my day comes I am coming to look for you. I will mourn you until my dying breath.

Hey Momma,

It's been 3 years, and I could still remember the day like it was yesterday. I miss you so much, there are so many things that I want to talk to you about and want to ask you. I wish you were here so bad. My heart still hurts but I know you are in a much better place than this cruel world. I love to remember the good times that we had, but then I get sad knowing that we will never have that opportunity again. The emptiness in my heart will be there for as long as I live. I will love you and grieve for you as long as there is life in my body. I hope to see you in my dreams.

I will love you forever 
Your Son

Hey Momma,

I really miss you, I think about you every day. It is especially hard around this time of the year. It has been two years since you passed and I still can't believe it, It seems unreal. In life you take things for granted until something happens. Né and I are trying to have a better relationship with Daddy and he is also trying to be better. I think he still thinks about you and himself because he always says that he can't believe that you're gone. I know you know but you have another grandson his name is Jerald Ray Burley Jr. I am probably get married again to my girlfriend that I brought to see you, I know I said that I wouldn't but I feel good about her. Also Ebony and I got divorced it was a hard thing to do but when someone says such mean spirited things toward you and blatantly lies to other people about you, it is unforgivable. The last time I spoke with her I wished her the best but told her that we shouldn't speak with each other anymore, I think it was for the best. In closing just know I will never stop mourning you until my dying breath and once that happens I will come looking for you.

I will love you forever
Your Son
Jerald

Momma,

It's been too long since i've posted here because I don't know what to say. All I know is that I miss you more than words can express. Oh, I miss you so much. The only way I have made it through this year is through God's grace, I couldn't have done it without him. I was in a very low place over the past year, I feel so alone. I still want to call you and talk to you but I know I can't. I still use my sense of humor to make others feel better but I still feel that overwhelming sadness in my heart because you're not here. Some days are better than others and sometimes my grief for you rolls down my cheeks, but know you are in a place much better than this earth. I hope you are proud of me. Momma please continue to watch over Mr. Henry, Né your Grandchildren and I. Your memory will never cease to exist as long as I'm here. Momma please remember us because we will be looking for you. I will morn you until my dying breath.

I will love you until the end of time
Your Son
Jerald

365 days have passed and this is still so hard to believe. I miss you so much nothing is the same. The Love that you gave me is so unmatched and I miss it so much. I wish I could just give you a huge hug and never let go. Jayceon keeps asking if we can go to Heaven to see you and all I can say is one day we will. I never thought that I would have to face this evil world without you. I miss you, we miss you. Please watch over us and continue to be my voice of reasoning. I still feel that you were taken too soon. My heart is still broken and trying to remain strong is still such a hard task,  but I know what you would want me to do. I will continue making you proud. 

We Miss you mama. If I had 1 wish I would wish that I could be with you and talk, laugh and joke. I Love You and Miss you, but I will make you proud. -Your daughter 🌹

Momma,

It's been 24 days and it hasn't gotten any easier, this is hard to accept. Words can't express how much I love you and how much I miss you. You were my angel here on Earth and I didn't realize it. You sacrificed so much for us when you didn't have to. I have been so down that it is hard to make it through the day. People say that you have to get over it and keep going but they don't understand how much you mean to me. I feel like a lost child crying for my mom and no one can comfort me but you, oh I miss you so much. I sometimes forget and want to call you to see how you're feeling or just text you to tell you that I love you but those texts and phone calls will go unanswered. I see you in my dreams and I am just so happy, but when I wake up reality hits me and I realize you are no longer here in the flesh and I get so sad. Please watch over us and guide us as you did during your time on this earth.  I will love you forever and I will mourn you until my dying breath.

Your Son
Jerald

Your love was undeniable, your advice still viable to my soul. 

We shared so many things, Prayed for each other's dreams.

 Long conversations holding back tears as we confessed our so-called fears.

 A dream for a better tomorrow, as we prayed together and the wraps of sorrow faded away. 

Reminiscing on yester year as we thank God for our today.

 Praying that the seeds we planted take root, keeping our faith that one day they will bear such beautiful fruits.

 Auntie words cannot express the cyclone of emotions that are encompassing me. Anger, confusion, heartache, relief, gratitude and love.

 Though my emotions are wide ranged and start off bad, they end in joy.

 Only because I firmly believe to be absent from the body, is to be present with The Lord.


 Love Always, Your niece LaTanya E.  


Momma,

I love you so much, the past few weeks have felt like a nightmare that won't end. You are my everything, I don't know how I am going to make it without you. You were the best Mother that anyone can ask for, I mourn that you are no longer here but I am thankful that you are no longer in pain. I wish that I can just hug you, tell you I love you and hear you say it back to me.  I miss your sense of humor your wisdom and guidance. I remember calling you frustrated about things that are going on in my life and just by talking to you and you reassuring me that everything will be ok as long as I stay in prayer, and the things I am going through get better just like you said. I just miss you so much please watch over us and please remember me, because when it is my time to go I will be looking for you and I will be happy again. I will mourn for you until the day I die. I will love you forever.

Jerald
