I feel like I've hit rock bottom and I never knew how to get back, even get over it. I haven't been doing what I've said I would.. Lately, everything seems to be coming to a end, just when I felt things were getting better. I cannot stop blaming myself for everything. I wish you were here so I can get your forgiveness, I need your strength and guidance. I'm sorry, I haven't been talking to you more than I said I would. Me being as selfish as I am, I tried doing it on my own, when I can't. I met someone, a really wonderful someone who sparks my soul, and does everything that she can for me, like how you do. You would really like her, i wish you were here to meet her, you definitely would approve. Next chance I get to come to you, I'm taking it... And every other chance after that. Please keep watching over me dad, I love you with all my heart.
Love always,
Your son

Hey Dad,
I'm pretty embarrassed to say I never knew this Guest Book even existed. Other than that I'm glad I was told about it by my good friend William. But it's been a very long time, too long... I wish you never left, I miss and love you so much dad... Theres not a time I stop to think about you. I went to your grave on Fathers Day, I'll be here more often writing you every chance I get now Dad..
I will always love and remember you father.
Please continue to look down upon me, that I still need you in my life.
Love you dad, forever and always.
3/8/1
Your Son, Larry

Hey Sweetie!
Been thinking about you a lot as usual. I miss you so much. Christopher is graduating PreSchool next week. I can't believe how fast my baby is growing up. Please watch over him. He gets real nervous when he has to go on stage. Larry, no matter where I am or who I'm with you will always be my true love. I love you so much! Sometimes, words can not describe how I feel. You were/are a special part of my life. We have known each other for so long and it's not fair that you had to go away so soon. I will never ever forget you! I hope to see you when its my time to leave this life. I love you and miss you dearly! Big Hugs and lots of Mooches! 3-8-1 Forever

I had another Birthday and really miss your cards and calls. I seen Jerry the other day and he started talking about you. He really misses you too.

Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.
I love you and miss you, Larry

Hey Baby,
Merry Christmas! I miss you so much Larry. I was so sad when I came to visit yesterday. You have been taken away too soon. I didn't get a chance to say and do all the things I wanted to for you. I can only continue to live on and keep you and my memories close to my heart. Christopher isn't feeling well. He at least got to see Santa last night at Aunt Donna's house. We didn't stay long but he is feeling a little better today. You are my Angel Larry. I love you with all my heart. Big Hugs and lots of kisses are being sent to Heaven just for you! 3-8-1 Love, Dawn

Hi Larry,
I was just sitting here thinking about you. The Holidays are coming and it's really lonely without you. The other day I found myself wanting to send you a Christmas card. I miss you a lot Lar. Christopher is really enjoying this time of year. He is so excited. He's also really into Rudolph this year and wanting to learn all the Christmas songs. I'm so blessed to have a smart and happy child. I wish you could have spent time with him. He always talks about you too! He knows how much his mommy misses you! Well, back to work. Happy Holidays Sweetie! 3-8-1

Hey Lar,
I'm glad I was able to stop at the cemetary today. I can not believe how much I think about you. You are constantly on my mind. I miss you so much. I was reading something today that reminded me of us. It's the saying "if u let it go and it comes back its yours forever"! This is so true!! You had come back to me a couple of times and now God needed to take you from me just when I thought I was going to have it all! I love you so much and I cry all the time. It still hurts so bad!! 3-8-1 Forever

Hi Sweetie,
I miss you so much! Christopher's party went well. Lisa gave me a gift that made me cry but I was very happy to receive. It was a photo book with some pictures of me and you. I was so happy that she found them. I can not stop looking at them. You have such a beautiful smile. I love you so much Larry. I wish you were here. I want to hug you and hear your voice again. It's still hard for me to deal with you being gone. My heart still aches but not much I can do about it. I love you and miss you!! 3-8-1 Baby!!

Wow! It's been 3 months already. I can not believe how fast the time is going. I miss you as usual. Nothing new here. Tomorrow is Christopher's B day and we will be celebrating it next weekend. He is so excited. I am too and can't believe my Baby will be 4 already. I love you Larry and I still think about you all the time. Like I said before you will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace Baby! 3-8-1

Hey Larry,
Glad I was able to stop and visit today. Such a beautiful and peaceful day. I at least got to sit and talk to you and say all the things I needed to say. I really miss you a lot. It's not getting any easier. I guess when you care and love someone as much as I do you. It won't get easier. Just have to take it one day at a time. I love you Sweetie! Good Night! 3-8-1 Forever!!

Hi Larry,
I'm kind of having a bad day. I'm really missing you and it is making me real sad that your not here. My heart aches when I sit and just think about you. I will be at the cemetary shortly. I really need to be there. Sometimes it helps and other days it don't. I guess I could handle you being gone if it wasn't so sudden. All I keep thinking about was how you called and said don't worry about me I'm ok. Your gone now and I am heartbroken. I love you Larry and miss you a lot. 3-8-1 Forever Baby!!

Hey Sweetie,
It's been 2 months ago today that you left us. I still miss you so much as if it were yesterday. You mean so much to me. I find myself wanting to write you a letter or pick up a nice card for you. Larry, I think about you all the time and it hurts today as well as the day you left. It will hurt for a long time. You will always have that special place in my heart. It really hurts me when I think about what our future was going to be and now I take the steps to the future alone. I hope your at rest and peace. If I know you better your probably driving your Dad nuts. Ha Ha You were never the type that can sit still. So full of energy. Just remember I love you and always will!! 3-8-1 Forever!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I keep waiting for your weekly phone call. Well, I just wanted to stop and say I love you and I miss you with all my heart. You are my Angel. Make sure you watch over me.

Hey Larry,
I can't believe it's already been 2 weeks that you've been gone. I miss you so much. I just read the last letter I received from you and it made me cry. You talked about plans for the future and it breaks my heart that your gone. I still sit and think that I can't believe you are gone! I know one thing you may be gone but you will never be forgotten! I promise you that!! I love you with all my heart!

I miss you so much. No matter what I'm doing I think of you. I hear a certain song and I think of you. I love you always and forever!

Hey Larry,
I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you. It was a really hard day for me. Even harder when 3:45pm came around. That was the last time I talked to you one week ago today. I'm just glad that we always had good conversations and we ALWAYS ended our calls with "I love you." I'm gonna be so lost without you. I know I have to be strong because I have to look out for myself and my Son. You know it was really weird but the phone rang earlier and Christopher answered and I said who is it and he said I think Larry. I really wished that it was you. Well, I just needed to talk to you. I love you and Miss you so much!
