My mom was born into this world by Shirley Crabtree and Robert Bauders of Collinsville, Ok. She had
2 sisters in her life one of which Kay Rader of Collinsville was killed in a car wreck in 1994. Her
sister Carol is still here. I was my moms only child, so you can imagine how spoiled I was. She
loved watching me cheer, I cheered 9 years and she didnt miss much! I did some competitive cheer,
and every meet she would bring me flowers and balloons.. And always wore her pin with my picture on
it.. She was very proud of me, and I couldn't have had a better momma. When I turned 18 I had my
first daughter Heaven, and 19 had my 2nd Haley. My mom treated them as if they were hers.When me and
my husband decided to marry shortley after grandma Shirley passed, my mom and dad drove to Eureka
Springs to be there. She asked me if she had to dress up after the drive up there, I said no so she
wore her pj's.. My mom could say and do the funniest things. In March of "06" my 3rd daughter was
born, my mother was there.. It wasnt long after that the doctor had to put her on 3 liters of
oxygen. When she would hold my newborn Harley, the baby would grab on to my moms hose and wouldnt
let go..My mom loved it. Me and my 3 girls took care of her the last 2 years. It wasnt always easy,
but I didnt want anyone else doing it. We took her to doctors appointments, out to eat, usually
WHATABURGER, or TACO BELL.. We helped her bathe, fixed her hair, you name it we did it. And we would
do it all over again in a heart beat. The night we took her to the hospital for the last time my
oldest daughter went with me. When they toldest she took a turn for the worst and took us to a
family room, I felt my heart sink into my stomach. How could a woman so young with so much life in
here and so much to live for be leaving me? How would I raise my girls without their grandma that
had seen them almost everyday since they were born? Who would I take to when times got tough? After
they told us that she passed they asked if we wanted to donate anything to Life Share. I said yes,
and the next morning we were making arrangements. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I had her
dressed in one of my sweaters and a pair of blue jeans w/fuzzy socks. My mom had a thing for fuzzy
socks. She was so beautiful and peaceful, she wasnt hurting, she didnt need oxygen. There are times
I wonder how I will make it through.I dont really have much family left, or Friends, My life
revolved around making sure my mom was ok..But I will say "momma I will be OK" See you soon, and
meet me at the gate...... I love you, I didnt say it enough when you were here, but I catch myself
telling you everyday since you left....
Our dear cousin, Ladonna
God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.
Ladonna
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would
Welp here we are, 29 years ago today you were at the hospital holding me. Today hasnt been too bad. Alot of friends and people Im not so close friends with has told me happy birthday and wished me the best. Today isnt over yet, I am guessing I will have a good cry before to long. I have held it in all day. I miss you momma, I love you. Good Night
One more week to go, Im not sure what I will do on my birthday. Wait for your call all day, to realize I wont hear you say Happy Birthday this year. I miss everytime I talked to you when we would get off the phone, you would say I love you Babe. The week before you passed I was at your house and I was getting ready to leave, you asked me for a kiss, if I could have you back I would give you a kiss everyday for the rest of my life....There is so much that I need you here to help me with. The girls graduations, their weddings, my grandchildren. These are all things I thought you would be at with me holding my hand. Who will I share it with now? You wont be able to be part of these memories, and its hard for me to accept that. I MISS YOU
My Birthday is in 2 weeks and the closer it gets the harder it is knowing you arent with me. Here lately I find myself thinking of you more often, wondering if you are watching over me and the girls, wondering if you are listening when I talk to you and most of all seeing me hurt because you arent here..What if I would have got you to the hospital sooner? Would you still be here? I didnt realize how hard it would ever be without my mother, and I cant stand it. Not all the medicine, or therapy in the world could ever make this any easier. I better go for now, I LOVE YOU!!!

With Love Today
We thought of you with love today
But this is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
We think of you in silence and often speak your name,
All we have are our memories, and your picture in a frame.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
Mr. Hallmark
Dear Mr Hallmark
I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my loved ones, as there finding it very hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a person who lives in heaven.
They are still my loved ones too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my family so.
They talk with me, and dream with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My loved ones carries me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight.
They write poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
They plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
They write to other grieving families, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my family of their wondrous worth.
They need to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the people of earth will do.
Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me
Until I can do it for myself, when they join me in eternity
as i sit here safe in heaven and wach you every day i try to let you know with signs i never went away.I hear you when your laughing and wach you as you sleep i even place my arms around you to calm you as you weep.I see you wish the days away as you beg to have me home so i try to send you messages so you know your not alone.dont feel guilty that you have a life that was denied to me oh. heaven is truly beautiful just you wait and see. please live your life and laugh again enjoy your self. be free then ill know with every breathe you take your taking one for me.
with love
