I know that you are in a better place. I wish I could just close my eyes and you would come back. I know that's not possible. There are so many things that I want to tell you, Tabitha. We are fighting til the end until we get justice for you, Drue, and Madeliene; everybody is going to pay. I love you so much and so do the kids. They ask about you everyday, all the time; why did moma have to die? I will always tell them about you and what a wonderful mother you were. I won't let them forget you. Tabitha, the only way I can console myself with knowing that you are gone is by asking God to take this situation into his hands and by telling myself that you will never again have to endure another beating or broken bone, a slap or burn to the face or arm, or have to sleep with a shotgun between you and him, nor will you ever have to hear threats made on you, your children, or our family. When the children ask why did moma die, we tell them that you had a bobo and God wanted you to come home to him. They know that you are in Heaven with God and Jesus. As long as we have Madeliene, we have your image still with us; she looks so much like you and has your personality. Drue is trying to be very brave, but he misses you so much and remembers the good times you had with them. They will never forget you; I won't let them. You will never have to feel pain from him again. Tabitha, I am so sorry you went through so much pain, and I miss you so much. I will never be able to hold you, smell you, hold your hand, or do anything with you in this life ever again. I know that we will be together again someday when God sends his angel of mercy for me. Til then, I will always hold you in my heart. Becky, Will, Noah, Grandma, Uncle Bert, Aunt Linda, Aunt Beth, Uncle Mark, Aunt Gwin, Lindsey, Ben, Allison, Little Jon, Aaron, Cody, Ryan, Wes, Adam, Elijah and the whole family miss you so much are we are working hard trying to make sure that justice prevails. God knows what really happened and he will get justice for you and your two babies. God sees all, knows all, and hears all. All of this is in his hands. I love you so very much and so do the rest of the family. I will kiss the children for you and make sure they know the kisses are from you. I wish you had told me more. You will always be in my heart, forever and ever. I love you, dear. My heart is broken. God bless you Tabitha and may he keep you close in his arms. Love always, Cynthia Seay Miller

Your life was way too short. I'm so sorry that your family and children will have to go through the rest of their lives without you.
