Dear John,
It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

Pam, sorry for loss of your Mom.
Don’t know if you remember when we were all neighbors in the circle in Garland?
That’s been many years ago.
All you kids had so much fun in those days.
Sorry I can’t be at Wanda’s memorial service but I will sure keep you, Chad and families in my prayers.
Oneday we might all see you again
God Bless You

Wanda was such sweet lady and now after her departure many will remember her good deeds. May she rest – Acts 24:15
Love my Aunt Wanda so much! Thought a lot about going to see her and Pam but kept putting it off. Wish I had just taken the time to go and see her. You never know when your day will come. If you have a loved one that you have not seen in a while, take the time to go and see them. Love and prayers to Pam, Chad and the entire family. Love you all so much!!
Mama Wanda was truly one of a kind. Beautiful and sweet, thoughtful and kind she was the kind of lady who was an inspiration to many. Pam I know you will miss your mother so deeply. You were her beautiful little girl, no matter how old you were, and I have no doubt that her final years here on this earth were joyous and comfortable surrounded with family and all the care and love that only you could, and did give her. I was always in awe of the close relationship you both shared and no matter who else was around she always spoke of how special you were to her. She was so proud of you. I know you are lost and hurting right now but I promise the time you spent caring for her in these past years will sooth your soul and turn the hurt into blessed memories of the time you shared together. You are in my heart and in my prayers. I am always here for you. I love you my friend.
Forever,
Sheryl Cuellar
Mama Wanda was certainly one of a kind. Everyone she came to know loved her because she had a gentleness and kindness that was no less then infectious. I am so sorry for the loss your family is going through when she took leave of this world entering into the next to take her place beside her beloved John and Johnny. You all have another angel to watch over you.
Pam I know how hard this has been on you. Not only because of the special bond between you as mother and daughter, but also because you became her primary caregiver and closest family member in these last years of her life. No one could ever take that place from you, it was never a place that could’ve been earned, but was yours by birthright. Your mom loved you so much and no matter how old you became, you always remained her little girl. I know she knew how special she was to you because you made her a priority in your life no matter what she went through during those years. You were her constant refuge and she sure knew it. I know you feel lost right now, it is always hard to lose our loved ones, but when you care for them, it leaves a huge hole in your everyday life. It will get better, I promise. The hurt will heal over time and you will look back on these years as some of the most sweet and fulfilling times of your life. God blessed you both by having the options to live her life out together. Many prayers for you, Jeff, Brittni, Chad, and the family as you heal and move on in your lives. May God grant you peace and strength.
Love always,
Sheryl
