Alexander Schmidt Obituary

Dear Al,

Where do I begin? From the moment I met you my life had changed for the better. I had finally found the love of my life. You are so many roles in my life; my husband, my lover, my best friend and my partner. I will miss all those roles you are time, just as I'll miss your smile, yous sarcasm, your jokes and most of all I'll just miss YOU.

We had seven beautiful years together and I will cherish all of them forever. We loved each other fully and unconditionally. We were always there for each other no matter what joy or disaster was happening. Physically that closeness is gone, but not from my mind or my heart.

I feel so empty inside since your gone. I never be able to hold you, laugh with you, cry with you, just to vent or dicuss our direction of life. Your wisdom, compassion I will remember as I face life's dilemas. I still need you, but I can't have you so I'll have to be satisfied with all you gave me. Darling, with all my love I write this to you; you are loved and you will be missed by all. I know you will watch over all of us, until we meet again.

ALWAYS,

Your Wife,

Diane

I wanted to be able to share this with everyone, but I know I would not be able to stand up in front of everyone & say this.



Dear Al,

We were never serious. We always cracked jokes & were sarcastic. it always seemed easier that way. Now I regret all the times & all the oppurtunities I had to tell you just how much you meant to me. I waited 18 years for a dad & it was well worth the wait. Noone compared to you. There is SO much I'm going to miss...all of our inside jokes ("open your ears!" "You're number one" "It's just like the cabinet, Al!"), they way you said "no,no," all your mannerisms, how you & I would eat all of "mumsy's" deviled eggs before she got them on the table. I'll miss the way you "fib" & the way you were always "tricking." There's so much I'll miss, more then I can list, but most of all I'll just miss you. I could not have asked for a better dad or a better paga for my kids. You were the best at everything. If God told me I could pick anyone int he world to be my dad, I would have still waited for you. I choose you. I love you SO much. I couldn't love you more if you raised me. I'm sorry I never said it, but please know I always felt it.

Love Always,

Your Daughter,

Rachel

Mike, Tim & family,

Sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. I know things have been rough, but hang in there, they're going to get better. Keep the faith.

I wanted to be able to say this in front of everyone, but I know I will not be able to. I decided to write Al a note & put it in his coffin with him, but I wanted to be able to share it with everyone as well.

You were the best at everything. If God told me I could pick anyone in the entire world to be my dad, I would have choose you, no doubt. I love you so much. Much more then you could ever know. Jut as much as if you were to have raised me. I'm so sorry I never said, butplease know I ALWAYS felt it.
