Benny

Benny stopped by last night with the new 12 Yats CD - he wrote a beautiful dedication to you ... I am so proud of the last song you recorded with him.. what a trooper you were.. and the greatest gift is that you will always be playing drums somewhere.. and your name will always be associated with the one thing you always were - a great New Orleans drummer.

I am so proud of you..


Love, Mona

today is not going to be good for me

I have to start some changes that I do not want to make - none of this takes you out of my heart or mind - but I cannot continue to slip. I know you would tell me to get off my ____ and do what I have to do - so today I start that process. But my heart is breaking....

love you

Made Some Hard Decisions today

Made some decisions today that I did not want to make.. but in the long run it is for the better - hopefully the pain, fear and frustration will find a way to leave..

I still miss you and my heart breaks for you everyday..

Friends FromCalifornia

Ray and his family stopped in New Orleans. I had them stay at the house. I sent them to places you would have taken them with pride and last night we went to Crazy Johnnies. I truly wish you had been here - you would have had so much fun. And on their way back to California - they stopped to visit you. I hope you knew.. I miss you so much... things are tough but I will figure it out - I promise - I am not sure how but I will. love you always

Took your Mom to see you yesterday

Your Mom and I went to Rayne yesterday to visit you... I am so sorry I did not make it on All Saints Day. But you are surrounded by the orange roses you used to bring your Mom. I will bring you Calla Lilly's next time. They meant so much to us at the house. I will find them. Please help me with my current challenges - give me strength. I love ya.

A year ago today

You had just home from a month in the hospital and we were looking forward to Thanksgiving at Robyn's and Christmas here.. We went to bed early - you did not want to hand out candy. I wish we were having the same conversations this year. This week was so lonely. I miss you and I will always love you..

The Memorial

Thank you to everyone involved - whether it was planning, playing, working or performing. Harry would have been proud of all of you. I am looking forward to building the foundation and having the ability to help those of you who helped us. I am going to take a few days to re-coop and then move forward with all of the things that will be required to get the foundation moving forward.
