Dad,
I think about you every day. Every single day. I miss you so much. It´s not getting easier. As the years pass nothing is changing, I still grieve for you. I still needed you, I´ll always need you. I love you so much.
Hug and kiss Mom for me, I still needed her too. Tell her I love and miss her.
Until we meet again

Dad- it will be 7 years. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I hold you forever in my heart and it gives me so much more comfort knowing that you´re with mom- she missed you so much. It was so hard when she left us- but I knew she was going home to you. I will never ever forget either one of you- one day we will all be together again. I love and miss the both of you so much and I wish I could talk to you both one more time. Until we meet again.....

It´s coming up to 6 years
and still it feels like yesterday.
I still remember everything, your
voice, your laugh, your hands,
I remember your hands- I remember your routine as you
got out of bed- to the desk, grab
your glasses and your watch. I remember so much, I never want to forget.
I thank God every night for you
I thank God he gave me you.
I was the lucky one!
I was/am always proud to say that "you ARE my dad" and forever will be.
You´ll always be
my hero.
I never thanked you enough for
all you did, for giving me the life
you did. The childhood I had, I´m
grateful.. going to Delavan as a kid, putting our Christmas tree
up every year out there (I have pics of you in front of it) enjoying
summers out there with you. I´m thankful. Not everyone has a
Father like you.
I love you Dad

January 9, 2023

Five years has flown by but not without a thought of you. I have peace knowing you´re with mom. Take care of one another. See you again someday. XOXO

January 8, 2023

It´ll be 5 years, Dad.
I love and miss you
everyday. Not a single
day goes by I don´t think
of you!
I hope you´re taking extra special
care of Ma, she deserves it. She
loved and missed you so much.

Forever, Me

Grandpa,

It's been nearly ten months since I've had to say goodbye to you for the last time. I'd just like to let you know I think about you daily. Most days, on my drive home from work, I swear I can feel your presence in my truck. When the skies open up and it reveals a beautiful sunset over the Broad River I know you're there. Come visit me in my dreams. We've got alot to catch up on. I'll have some beers waiting for us. I wont tell Grandma either. I love you, Grandpa. See you soon.

When your 1st born wasn't even 1yrs old I spent the entire Summer with you. Many Summers followed, more of your children born & I was a part of your family. I know this because Leon you never made me feel any less. I love you & it was an honor having you in my life. X&O until we meet again.

My dad used to say that between your Dad and Kenny, it was a comedy team. We'd attend funerals together and my dad would say-its the only time Id leave a funeral laughing to the point i was crying...My son would just sit and watch your Dad and Kenny and just listen and laugh...:(

Remembering you today, tomorrow and always.
