Dad
I can't believe time has gone so fast. I miss you everyday. I miss our talks when I was troubled or just needed to talk. You always knew what I needed my Hero. You had a Heart of Gold. Always made people happy and did what you could for those who needed help. I can't believe it's 15 years 2/7/2023. I will visit you. Love you to the Moon and Back Faye

Dad,
You gave so much to so many...made so many laugh...helped so many people...and never asked for anything in return. I love you. You are my hero. I will always remember what you said "Don't fight with your sisters, they may be all you have one day." I miss you terribly. Love, Nan

Dad, you made so many smile...helped so many...and asked for nothing in return. I realize now that life is shorter than we ever expect, and will remember what you told us girls..."Don't fight with your sisters, one day they may be all you have." I love them, and I love you. I miss you.

Dear Grandpa,
I will always remember your wonderful laugh and smile. You always knew how to make me laugh no matter what was going on. The twins Hailey & Cody will be told how wonderful there Great grandpa George was. I will always think of you, and miss you dearly. I love you always and forever. I will always remember all the wonderful days we had together. Like the time I spent at your house for the weekend. Especially when we went on your boat. That was always fun. I will never forget you. Love always Nicole Baker xoxoxox
