My dear, sweet Mother. My heart aches for you every second of every day. I'm selfish and want you back so much that at times, I can hardly stand it. It's just too much to bare. I know your suffering and pain is gone and I'm glad for that, but I still want and need you here. I Love you so much and am proud to be your daughter. Dad, Steven and I will try to be brave, but you leave a huge hole in my heart that will never go away. Love, Hugs & Kisses. Your daughter, Drema Gayle I Love You, I Love You, I Love You!

Steven Dunn
The love of a mother is beyond compare. One who dearly loves and is always there. My regrets are for all they things I didn't say about how I felt along the way. I hope you knew in your last days I held your hand and stroked your hair. I was at your side as you took your last breath, it broke my heart but my memories sustain me. I loved you on 6/21/59 when I came into this world and still loved you when you left on 6/19/12. No mother could have been better to a son. I will love you forever. You Devoted Son, Steven

To My Dearest Angel Mother Betty, You will always be an inspiration of love. In my heart, I have never felt so close with a family as I did with yours. I have a great feeling of emptiness in my heart because you always made your house feel like home when I would visit. It will never be the same as it was when you were here,you were like a mother to me. I always felt safe and special when you were near. I understand that heaven needs you now, but you will be sadly missed here on this earth. Love your other daughter Bootie
