I have been thinking a lot about you lately and wanted you to know how much all of us miss you. Maggie is walking and getting into everything. She has been climbing on top of furniture and basically trying to break her neck. She has no understanding of the word "NO". You always said you wanted me to have 10 just like me, well 2 down 8 to go. Kim is as active as ever. She is playing soccer and is doing well in school. It is hard to believe she is coming up on eight years old and mastering the second grade like a champ. She is so independent and smart. She amazes me on a daily basis. Unfortunately, she has the chicken pox right now and is delighted to get a few days off of school. I said she was smart, but the lazyness runs deep in that one. Dad is recovering from the stroke very well. He has completely turned everthing around and is getting out and doing things faster than i thought he would. I guess you can't keep him off that golf course. I can tell he misses you everyday; as we all do. Keep watching us and we will make you proud. Kim and Maggie are going to be shinning examples of the girls you would have them be.
I have been missing you a lot lately. Mothers Day came and you were not here. I felt empty, I wanted to talk to you but those times are gone. I wish that I could have one more chance to tell you all the things that needed to be said. I guess that I will never be the same; you were the one person on this earth that understood me, grounded me, kept me sane. I can only pray that I will make you proud as the years move forward. It seems as if day to day life just keeps rolling forward and with each days passing, I am reminded of you in everything. I see Maggie crying and can only picture you comforting her. I see Kim being punished and I am reminded of the many times you reminded me that she is just like me and to take it easy on her. You are not here to push me in the right direction, I only hope that the path that we all choose will lead us back to you.
With all of our love eternally. Berri, Lorri, Kimberly and Maggie Outlaw

I came to ease some pain. / Lorri Outlaw (friend)
I came to ease some pain. To seek solace and guidance. I miss you so much. Kim had it right when she said everything was in chaos. We messed up a good thing badly because of bull headed stubborness and not listening to each other. And a bit of mean. Now there is nothing I can do to make things right. If you had been here you could have helped us fix it. You seemed to always know how. I tell Maggie about you all the time. We have your obituary up in the house and pictures of you. We go to the grave sometimes. Maggie wants to visit with papa. I wish you could have known her. She is such a girl. The dresses make up not so much on hair but she belives she is a princess. I don't know if I can do this by myself but I have to try. Berri doesn't believe I need him and won't talk to me. Well Lib now that your burdons are through help me watch over them help me make them strong.
I do think of you so often and miss you so much and will always love you--you are and always will be my big sis--I know you are doing a good job in heaven--God needs good people like you--kind and gentle.. I try to understand. I wish you had met my great-grandson, Kayden-he is so adorable. Your Kim was 11 and becomming a young lady--Maggie will be five and is so cute--she likes to dress up--she likes frilly dresses which Kim never did. Just wanted to spend a few minutes with you and let you know how much I love you.

After Thanksgiving shopping trip / Susan (Sister)
Hi, Thanksgiving is this week and it should be a happy time,but, my heart is heavy thinking about you. It's time for our annual shopping trip and you're not here to go with me. You were always there for me and it is so hard for me to accept your not being here. I still wake up from a dream and want to call and tell you about it. I know in my heart that the Lord always knows best but it seems so unfair for him to need you in heaven when we all needed you so much. You were truly an Angel here on earth. I tell Mary Miles not to be afraid of the dark because you are watching over us. She still has her angel globe you gave her. Shirley left last week and I miss her a lot, wish she lived right next door to me. You guys have always been so good to me and spoiled me. Keep watching over me untill I come to be with you again. I love you. Close

wedding/ Shirley (sister)
Hi, We're at Lonny's--on our way home after the wedding--it was nice--got to see lots of family but didn't get to visit with anyone much. Berri,Lori, Maggie & Kim--Donny, Ronny, Joyce & Leif were all there--was nice to see them--Maggie & Kim are growing up-They are very pretty girls. Leif is getting married next April--will plan to go if I can still get around--it will be in Charleston. Wish you were here with us--sometimes I need help--your help. I have a hard time going to your house with you not there--it just doesn't seem right. Sue invited Donny & Junior for 4th July-she cooked hamburgers for just us and her & Oscar--was sorta quiet--no fireworks. Love you and miss you.. Close
wedding/ Shirley (sister)
Oh,wish you were here--miss you so much! We're getting ready to go south for your baby Josh' s wedding. He's marrying Meghan Owen--Pansy's daughter. She's a very sweet girl--you would approve. I haven't been able to visit your site but Donny sent me the link and I'm happy I can send you a note again.. Wanted to tell you I have a new great grandson--his name is Kayden and he is adorable. Will visit after the wedding . Love you Close
How much you are love / Cindy Outlaw (none (BJOUTLAWII'S Mama ) You don't know me, I just happened across your site and the last name Outlaw caught my attention. There just isn't a lot of people with our last name. I can tell by all the wonderful things said about this sweet lady that she was a very special person to all that knew her. I am so sorry for the loss your family is forced to suffer. When the Lord calls those we love home it leaves such a void in our lives that nothing and no one can fill. May Jesus bless your family with Peace for Today, and Hope for Tomorrow. You're in my prayers, Cindy Outlaw Close

HAPPY BIRTHDAY / Susan &. Shirley (sisters)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Today is your special day!!!
Wanted to remember you on your special day and tell you how much we miss you and love you. I sent a happy birthday wish to you about 12:30 last night. I am driving a motor home from Concord NC to Jacksonville Fl--it is like the one you and I drove to New York. I miss traveling with you.
Shirley had pneumonia and was in the hospital in Illinois for a couple days-- she is home and doing better.
We think about you all the time and remember all the good times we shared. We have a lot of memories but wish we could make more.
Shirley and I spent a week at the beach--went out on the boat--lost our money. We had a good time but missed you.
Wanted to remember and share with you on your special day!!!
Today is your Birthday. I got up at 6am and watched some video of you that I have saved on my tivo. I watch them regularly but today I made it a point. I sent some flowers for your grave, a dozen Red roses, I hate that I cant be there to put them on it in person. I know you always liked roses. I called white rat at meltons florist. I somehow feel he is the florist I should use since you always did.
Well, Maggie is growing up so fast and Kim would shock you with how fast she is turning into a little lady. Let's go with maggie. She is talking a lot more. She will be 2 in one week. She destroys the house on a regular basis and has more energy than 100 horses. She is learning her shapes and colors and loves music and dances all the time. Lorri took them to visit dad about 2 weeks ago and when maggie got back she kept saying,"Where's Papa?". I wish you were here to see her, you would be so proud.
Kim on the other hand has grown into a beautiful young lady. She is facsinated with computers and spends a lot of time using the internet watching music videos and cartoons. She is so smart. Well, i mean every parent thinks their kids are smart but I think she has a very wide range of talents. She is ....Maggie is coming down the stairs now yelling "Dad". there she is she is so beautiful. Anyways Kim starts Third grade in a couple of weeks. She has been doing well in school and I expect her to continue.
Speaking of school, I started back school this summer and I start the fall quarter the first week of september. I just got an invitation to Phi Kappa Delta, a national honor society. Bet you would never have expected that. I am now working for Speedway Convience Stores. I am about halfway through an eight week training program which at the end I will be a store manager. I drove truck for a while after we lost Bennett, but Lorri and the kids did not like me being on the road all the time. I like Speedway though, it is fast paced and getting to know the customers is very interesting. We are still running Benchmark and have expanded to Cleveland. Things are all in all good.
I want you to know we are all thinking about you and we all love you. Today is your Birthday, it will be celebrated and today we are going to honor you as the beautiful Mother and Grandmother that you are. I love you Mom. Close
I'm in SC and it isn't right not to spend time with you at your house--I do plan to go over and visit Junior but it is very hard. I went to visit you and it is very hard--i miss you so much--I miss talking to you on the phone ev eryday--you're so much a part of my life--everytime I turn on my computer--there we are--you. Sue and me--. i fixed a shelf for your bells that I took home with me--with a picture of you and your granddaughters. I know you are with God and in a better place but I still miss you and love you. Love Shirley
Mother's Day / Shirley (sister)
Hi, Yesterday was Mother's Day--I mailed cards like I always do but I missed sending one and that was to you. I know you know how much I miss you and how much I need you. There were so many things I still needed to do with you and Susan. I think of you everyday and I know God is watching over you, Mama, and Gene.. Brandi will graduate from college next Sunday, and she is going to have a beautiful baby boy in September which will make us great grandparents. I haven't seen Berri, Lori and girls for awhile but I have talked to them. Susan got to see the girls last time they were in SC(over spring break, I think). She said maggie was growing up and a pretty little girl and Kim is as pretty as always. I miss talking to you and I love you. Love, Shirley Close
