I have received numerous submissions for this Internet/book project, and it is my sincere hope that I will receive hundreds, or even thousands more. "I Never Got to Say..." submissions have been divided into categories (i.e. "Handwritten Entries," "To Parents...," "To Extended Family...," etc.) which are located on a links list on the left.

Entries are still being accepted. Your submissions can be made anonymously or you can include your name. Please note that if you send your submission to me via private e-mail, Facebook or Twitter message, you need to specify whether or not you would like your name to be attached. However, I will include the author's name on submissions made publicly via blog, Facebook, or Twitter comments Submissions can be handwritten or typed if mailed to me. Entries can vary in length, however I reserve the right to take excerpts from them.

I encourage you to take part in this Internet/book project. Working on this project has helped me channel my grief over my mother's passing into something positive. I hope that writing your "I Never Got to Say..." messages will bring you the same peace.

To Children...

To my lovely daughter Jill,
I wish I could have had just a few more moments to tell you how much joy you had given me during our short years together. If only I had known that you would be gone in an instant, I would have told you of all the love I had for you, and how proud I was of being your mother. I wish I could have had enough time to assure you that I would always be there for your son. You were a wonderful mother to him.

There is never a day that passes that I don't wish that you could see the man that he has become, and what a loving father he is to his son. You would have loved your grandson; he is so much like Corey.

We love and miss you more than words can tell.

I hope God is loving your beautiful smile as much as your father, your son, and I did.
Love forever,
Mom, Alberta Buckley
