Dear Milton, Just writing to wish you a Merry Christmas. We are having a white Christmas here on Earth. But my Christmas is blue because you're not with me. I know your spirit will be with us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I thank the Lord every night for bringing us together 57 years ago and blessing our marriage with love and so many wonderful memories of the Christmases we had together. Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. Not a day goes by that we don't miss you. God blessed us with our five children, 15 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren and that surrounds me with love everyday. I am so grateful for that, but I miss you telling me "I love you" everyday of our lives together. I miss you and I will love you ALWAYS!

Daddy, The holiday season is upon us once again. It's a really busy time for everyone, but we are never to busy to think about and remember you. I was thinking today, "Poor daddy, he used to always get socks, pocket t-shirts, and new jeans for Christmas." What I would do to buy you a package of socks this Christmas! I'd buy you ten!!! The kids were making a recorded message inside a Christmas card for Ritch yesterday. I told them when I say go, say, "Merry Christmas Papa!" So, I said one, two, three, go, and they said, "Merry Christmas Papa" and Jamie said "Papa Milton!" She misses you so much. They all truly do. Honestly, everyone does. Things will never be the same! Merry Christmas Daddy!

Happy 76th birthday Daddy!
Although you are in Heaven, I will celebrate your birthday in my heart. There won't be any presents or cake or candles, just a huge celebration of love. For on this day, 76 years ago, my father, an amazingly strong and compassionate man was born. I had the privilege to call this man "father". Happy Birthday Dad! Enjoy it with your family.
P.S. If you run into Grandma Klepacz, give her a hug for us.
I love you and miss you terribly,
Sharon

Happy Birthday to my husband. Four days ago, it was 76 weeks since the Lord took you to his heavenly kingdom.
Today you celebrate your 76th birthday, with your parents and siblings in heaven and we celebrate the day of your birth here on earth.
We know your spirit will be with us as we sing Happy Birthday to you at your crypt. I will close my eyes and pray I can see your smiling face.
I love you with all my heart and soul.
Your loving wife always, Sue.
I love you! Sharon

Happy Father's Day in Heaven Daddy!
I am so grateful that we have this day to celebrate all of the special father's in this world! God knows that you are my number one! I wish I could say that I'll use this day to think of you and remember all of the special times that we had, but I do that everyday. I remember fishing in Antioch, going hunting and shooting a gun and falling on my bottom, water skiing, drive-in movies, Kiddie Land, Great America, baseball picnics, bowling, sitting around listening to all of those wonderful stories that you would tell and retell over and over again about when you were young. What I would do right now to hear one of those stories from you. I long for that.
I took the kids for Father's Day pictures the other day. When I mention Father's Day, they think of Rick, but then you are the next person out of their little mouths. They love you so much and wish you a Happy Father's Day too! They tell me often how much they miss you and wish that you didn't die. We all feel the same way!
Please look down upon us today and see the love on our faces as we celebrate another Father's Day without you. That love is for you too! Thank you for all of the wonderful memories!
Always, Sue
June 15, 2008
Happy Father's Day to my Husband!
Once again we will go to your final resting place to wish you a Happy Father's Day! Every day was special when you were here with us for you were such a loving and compassionate man. You were so proud of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as they were of you. We carry you in our hearts, for you are always with us. You left me with so many memories. I'm so grateful for that because that's what keeps me going every day without you.

Happy Dather's Day, Daddy! You are in my heart forever. I really miss you, especially on special days like this where my memories of you really stand out. You know what? I suddenly thought about all the years you've missed your dad and how now today you are with him on Father's ay once more. That makes me happy for you. Enjoy your time with him in heaven. I'll be with you, too. Sonny and Joey said to tell you Happy father's Day and they both love you very much.
Love you.

Hi Daddy,
I miss you so much. If I could just hold you one more time, kiss your cheek, hear your laugh, hear you whistle a favorite tune, or dance one more dance, I wouldn't feel so empty. I could lie and say I'm okay. But you would know better. Rain some love down on me Daddy, I need you.
I love you so much.

Grandma Klepacz came to join you today. That's TWO big voids that can't be filled at all of the family parties. Now the kids can pray to both of you and they'll know you'll be watching everything they do. You might have to help her out because she knows nothing about sports. Things will never be the same without the two of you. I've been saying some prayers lately so maybe you can put in a good word for me. We miss you very much!!
Still missing you, Sharon
May 26, 2008
Good Morning Daddy,
We have been so busy and missing you every step of the way. The kids have a lot going on in their lives and with every special event in their lives, they mention you and tell me that they miss you. It's actually a very beautiful thing. Jamie mentioned you at preschool graduation. Ricky mentioned you on his First Holy Communion. Jake is doing awesome in baseball and he always asks if Papa saw his great hit. Thank you for the wonderful memories and the heartfelt impression you left on my children. You have touched their lives in such a precious way, that they think about you and ask about you on a weekly basis. Thank you! I love you and miss you more than you could have ever known.
Missing you, Sharon

Happy Valentine's Day To My Sweetheart!
This is the second Valentine's Day without you. No mushy card, that you would have your daughter pick out (smile), no box of chocolates and no bouquet of roses. But a lot of loving memories of the Valentine's Days we had together. And that special present you gave me on every holiday (smile).
I love you and miss you so much. I know your spirit feels the same way!

You are in Heaven, I am here on earth, but you are always with me, for I carry you in my heart.
I'll be loving you "ALWAYS." Thank you for the last loving memories you gave to me.
I miss you so much!!!

You and Mom looking so beautiful and so much in love. You were always so proud of her and your love for her never faltered. I love you both so much. You know Mom will be missing you so terribly. Please send her three kisses from heaven and let her know you are with her. I love you, forever.

I miss you daddy. I miss you daddy. I miss you daddy. People tell me it will get better. At first I believed them. But so far it still hurts like it did the first day you left me. I don't believe it will ever get better. I know its selfish and unrealistic to have expected you to be here with me forever. But thats what a liitle girl believes. Even when she is growing old herself. Thats how it is for me, anyway. The holidays were sad and hurtful. I hope it gets better. I worry about Mom. Watch over her. I love you still. I will love you always.

Hi Grandpa,
Today marks one year since God called you to Heaven. I miss you so much. We all miss you. I sit here not knowing what to write. My thoughts are many. I want it to be perfect for you. I don't even know what I exactly feel, as I am both happy and sad. Sad because you are not here on earth with us, but happy because you have left us with so many wonderful memories that fills my heart with your love for us and our love for you. You will live forever in us. Grandpa...I Love You, I Miss You.
Love,
I love you, Sharon

Today marks one year since the Lord called you home. The past year has been a blur and a year of many firsts. The first New Year's without you, the first Father's Day, birthday, wedding anniversary, Christmas, etc. Although you were not here with us to celebrate these many events, please know that you were thought of in the most loving ways. As we continue our journey here on Earth without you, your loving presence will always be with us in thoughts and spirit. Thank you for the memories that we have to look upon today and every day. For your memories are all we have to cherish, I am thankful that there are so many wonderful ones to reflect upon. Instead of thinking about how you left and why you left, today will be remembered as a celebration of an amazing man's life. Rest in peace daddy!
Love always, Sue

Hi My Love,
I can't believe it's going to be a year since you were lifted up to heaven. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, miss you, and yearn to hear the way you would tell me you love me and "put on some eyebrows!" We felt your presence with us on Thanksgiving. I really believe you came to us through Babe. Thanksgiving was the first time in nine years she came downstairs to join us. Sometimes when she sits in your chair she howls and stares into my eyes. I know she misses you like we all do. In three days this year will be over and a new year will begin. As the clock strikes midnight, look down from above for I will be looking up and sending you a big Happy New Year kiss!
Loving you, Sharon
December 25, 2007
Merry Christmas Dad! It will be a wonderful one for you with your ma and pa and loving brothers and sisters in Heaven. For we are missing you terribly this holiday season, we know and believe that you will be with us in spirit! I know in my heart that you watched the excitement on the kids' faces as they opened their gifts from Santa this morning. It was a beautiful sight this morning. Tears were stinging my eyes, but I am happy that you are not in pain this Christmas. Your last Christmas was spent in pain and you didn't deserve that. We love you Papa Milton and miss you so much! Merry Christmas!
Your baby girl, Sharon

Good Morning Daddy,
One year ago today you went into the hospital for what we all believed would just be another trip to the emergency room. We hoped and prayed that you would come home to celebrate the holidays with your family. Unfortunately, God had another plan for you. Please know that on this day, I am thinking of you more than ever. I am remembering how silly and playful you were in the hospital this day. I remember you flirting with the nurses and laughing your jovial laugh. But, I have two memories that I keep very close to my heart about this day one year ago. The first being the very loving, tender kiss that you gave me when I left the hospital, and the second being you singing the song "Always" to mom. I remember her joining in with you. It was a memory that will burn forever in my heart. It was filled with so much love and joy! Thank you for the memories!
I miss you so much! It's amazing how my love continues to grow for you even though you are not here!
Always, Sue
December 22, 2007
To My Loving Husband at Christmas,
Christmas is almost here, and soon it will be a new year. It's the time of the year to celebrate the birth of Our Lord, Jesus. And see the excitement of the children waiting for Santa to come.
We had so many wonderful holidays together, with our family.
This is the first Christmas without you, and it will not be the same. We take comfort in knowing that you will be celebrating this Christmas with Ma and Pa, and your brothers and sisters for they are happy you are with them. They've waited for you a long time. And although we won't see you this Christmas, we know that you will be celebrating with us in spirit.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year sweetheart!

It has been a while since I had sent a message but you are always in my thoughts and heart. It does not seem like it has been almost a year that you are gone. I think of you daily and wish you were still here. I miss you so much and just think about the times we shared.
A year has almost came and gone
I can't believe you really are gone
It was like yesterday that we were talking and joking around
But now your no where to be found.
The days past by and I still wonder why you had to die.
Things just are not the same with out you around
I feel like my whole world is turned upside down.
Walking in the house and to see you smile always was a pleasant sight,
now all I do is wait for it to be night.
I fall asleep and picture you still here and knowing that the moment of seeing you again is so dear.
The pictures, the memories and the times we did share
No one can ever come close or compare.
You were the one I could turn to, the one that cared, that one that worried about me through out the years.
I hope you are ok and doing fine, but until we see each other again it will be a very long time.
I hope you don't forget me and I hope you will be there for when that day comes, I want to to see your stare.
Grandpa I love you and miss you.
The kids do to, but all I can do is talk about you.
The times you shared with them I know they will always remember and never forget.
The place you filled in their hearts no one could ever get.
I don't say good bye, because it is never a good bye, we all will be together one day and could say hi.
The holidays just are not the same with out you around
And it seems like this family flipped upside down.
I don't know why things changed the way they did, but I will not let the things that go on bring me down.
Grandpa my heart hurts, my eyes filled with tears and not having you here is hurting me so dear. now all i can do is live my life the best that i can and hope to be able to see you when it's my turn to leave.
Grandpa you are always thought about and talked about and missed so much. I love you..
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Loving you forever, Sharon

Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven Daddy! Today is a day for me to reflect on how thankful that I am that I had such a loving father in my life to guide me and protect me throughout the years. This Thanksgiving will not be the same without you, but there will be many fond memories of you to cherish. I take comfort in knowing that your presence will be with us today. I know you will be watching over us and that you will be with us in spirit to celebrate the joys of Thanksgiving! I love you and miss you so much!

Hi Grandpa,
I talked to my mom today. She reminded me that today is the anniversary that you started working at Certified double nickel years ago the day before she was born. You loved telling that story and we loved watching and listening to you tell it. Do you remember when you turned double nickel? I do. When I asked you how old you were, you said, "Double Nickel!" Your not so genius at the time granddaughter #2 didn't make the connection, so you had to explain it to me. Now that I am a genius, just like you, I realize I didn't inherit your cleverness, but that's ok because I married cleverness. Dion loves me just like you loved me. You always made me smile, and now I have Dion to always make me smile. I have such wonderful memories of you and our family. Thank you for all that you did and all that you still do. I Love You Grandpa. I Miss You. You will be a part of me in my heart, memories, and life always and forever and ever.
Love,
Deborah Talach-Strejc
November 12, 2007
Hi Dad,
Happy Anniversary and Retirement from Certified. I'm celebrating here in my own way. I could still hear the excitement in your voice and see the look on your face when you would tell me the story of your first day and the big bucks you were making (for back then), and how the next day you had to take off because I was being born. You always told me it was an extra special time for you. Thank you Daddy for working so hard for us and telling me that story so often. I never grew tired of hearing it. It is something I will always treasure. Whenever I have a birthday I remember our special beginning. I will love you forever.
Hugs and Kisses,
Deborah

Happy Sweetest Day! We never needed a special day like Valentine's Day or Sweetest Day to say I love you! For every day all of our lives together, we told each other I love you. It's been 42 weeks since you left me and our loved ones. It was so hard to pray to the Lord to lift you in his arms and take you to his heavenly kingdom. We loved you so much and still do. We had to let you go so your suffering and pain would be gone. I miss you so much! And I will love you always! I know you hear me every day when I tell you how much I love and miss you. Even though I can't hear your voice, I know you're doing the same.

Grandpa,
It's been a few months that you have past and i just can not get past the tears and the thoughts of not having you here. I sit and think of the times we once shared and nobody really knows the bond we once shared. You always looked for me and worried so much. The days i would stop and check to see how you were doing and even when i sat with you so grandma could go somewhere will be the times i will never forget. Nobody understands that I did alot to try to help out when you were so sick, I would come and visit you daily just to see how you were doing and just to say hi. I never looked at you as my grandfather because we had a unique and special bond that no other grandchild would have with their grandfather. I'm just glad i was there with you until the very end, tears will fall that will never change and the memeories of you I have will never fade or go. I wish you were still here, so i could see your smile when i walk into the house or just to get one of those big hugs you would give every now and then. I know i'll always miss you and my kids will never forget you, I just wish Anthony got to know you. But i'm not mad because you had to go and be in a place where you could have no more pain. I know you're smiling down on us and protecting us. I will always love and miss you and i know that one day we will be together again and you could give me that crooked smile and one of those big hugs. Grandpa you are always in my thoughts and prayers, I love you.

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad
I miss you Dad,
Deborah
Hugs and Big Kisses!!! Sharon

Hey Dad! Rick and I took the kids to Great America a couple of days ago. As we were going in line for the Whizzer, I had a wonderful memory of you. I was remembering when I went on that ride with you as a little girl. I remembered because you sat in the back of the seat, and I sat right in between your legs, and you held me tight. I rode that ride with Jamie the same way I rode it with you. I was telling the kids that I remember when I was a little girl, how I rode this ride with Papa Milton. They couldn't believe it! I love you and miss you so much!
Loving you forever, Sharon

Hi Dad! Today is July 7th. That means that today is 7 - 7. As soon as I heard seven-seven, it made me think of you because you always liked to drink your seven-sevens! It's little things like this that keep you forever in my thoughts and in my heart! You know, Ricky played in the All-Star game last weekend. At the game, a butterfly landed on me. I tried to catch it, but it flew away. This may sound crazy, but I thought that maybe that butterfly was you watching the game with us. Have a wonderful day in Heaven!

Hi Daddy,
You are in my thoughts everyday. My heart still feels the loss and emptiness of your passing like it was yesterday. Here we are six months later and I still can't believe it. I miss you so much. We all do. This adjustment is so hard and I know you would be so sad to see us all like this. When I cry I know you are crying with me. You always did. I'm trying hard Daddy.
I look at your picture everyday. It helps sometimes. You're my dear sweet Daddy forever and ever. I love you, always.
Big kiss!
Love, Deborah
Missing you more everyday! Sharon

It's so hard to believe that 6 months have gone by since I've seen you. I wish I could just see you one more time. I wish I could just kiss you one more time. I wish I could hear you laugh, just one more time. Sometimes it just feels like you are on vacation, and we're just waiting for you to come home. We miss you so much daddy! We think about you and talk about you all of the time. Ricky, Jake, and Jamie will always remember their Papa! See you in my dreams!
Always, Sue

It's been six months,
Since you went away.

Free from sorrow.
For you've found,
Your bright tomorrow.

With your loving family and friends.
Sharing a lifetime of memories,
That have no end.
Someday I will join you,
In heaven above.
Together once more,
To laugh and to love.

Happy Birthday Daddy,
I wish you were here to celebrate with me. I sang to you in my best voice and hope you were pleased and enjoyed it. I didn’t even cry. I wanted it to be perfect. I blew you a big kiss and gave myself a big hug and pretended it came from you. It’s all I could think to do.
I love you daddy. Happy Birthday.
Love and Kisses, Deborah Anne
P.S. I loved it when you called me by my proper name, thanks.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Daddy! I was looking at the picture we took last year of you and the kids on your birthday. It seems like just yesterday you were blowing out those candles. You were so happy. Sometimes I wish time could just stand still. How wonderful it must be to be with your mother and father and all of your brothers and sisters on your 75th birthday! It's been a long time.
Today will always be a special day because a great man was born on this day. June 18 will forever be a holiday in my heart. And although you are no longer with us, we will celebrate your birthday in our own special way and send birthday wishes to you in heaven.
You will never be forgotten. You live on in our hearts and we will keep your spirit alive today and every day!
We love and miss you more than words can say!
Love Always, Sue

Today you turn "75" years old. No cake, no candles, for this year you are in heaven.
We will sing to your spirit and send you our love. And we will pray to the Lord, to give thanks for the birthdays we did have together.

Good Morning Grandpa,
Happy Father's Day! You are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers today and everyday. I wanted to let you know (I know you already know since you are watching over us but I will write it anyway) that for Mother's Day I bought Grandma a feather with a prayer. It reminded me of the goose feather I brought home from Michigan. I found that feather and took it everywhere. It is in all my pictures from that visit. If I remember correctly and it wasn't just a dream, it flew out the window coming home and you went back to get it for me. I don't know where that feather is now, but Grandma has the new one that means just as much to me. It respresents the unconditional love our family shares with eachother. I Love You Grandpa! I Miss You! I will come visit with you at Woodlawn on this special day of yours to celebrate your life and what a wonderful father, grandfater, and great-grandfather you were (and still are) to all of us. Keep watching over me...over us all. We still need your love, strength and guidance. I Love You. Have a Happy Father's Day!
With all my love,
All of my love, Sharon

As I sit here and reflect,
On the love you've given me.
I still can't believe your gone,
How different Father's Day will be.
It has a special meaning.
A heartfelt purpose for me.
Rememberance of a father's love,
How caring and special was he.
Father's Day will always have,
A special place in my heart.
Just because I can't see you,
Your memories will never part.
Fishing trips to Antioch.
Water skiing on the lake.
Playing baseball at Goss Field.
Memories we would make.
Tender love and kisses,
Hugs and smiles too,
Adoring eyes of my father,
Love came easy from you!
You had this contagious laugh.
How hearty and loud it was.
It made my heart and soul dance.
I love you dad, just because!
You are truly my heart and soul.
How lucky can one girl be.
I have my father, my guardian angel,
Always right here with me.
Happy Father's Day in Heaven,
I love you Daddy, my friend.
My love for you continues to grow,
Of that there will be no end!
Happy Father's Day dad! I miss you so much!

Happy Father’s Day !
I will always celebrate this special day with you. No greeting card this time. As you would say, “this one is from the heart”.
From my heart, Daddy, I love you. You are missed but yet still here. You are forever the best, the greatest, and will always be “Father of the Year” and the “Number One Dad” in the whole wide world. Nothing can ever change that. All my memories remind me of that. And all of us agree.
It is so nice to have a special day to celebrate fathers. But I celebrate you every day.
All the Hallmark cards put together would still fall short of honoring the father I am blest to have.
My gift to you this Father’s Day is all the love in my heart and sincerity of gratitude; with an ongoing respect and undying devotion. However, the real gift comes from you. Thank you, Daddy.
Happy Father’s Day
Love, Deborah
With all my heart! Sharon

As Father's Day and your birthday approaches, I am filled with loving memories of you. You are constantly on my mind, more now than ever. I miss you so much! I still need you. Jamie talks about you daily. Tonight she asked me if you will have your birthday in heaven. I told her absolutely! I better go now. As I cry, my eye feels funny. I had lasik eye surgery again today, and I don't know if crying is good for my eye. I love you and miss you. I hope to see you in my dreams!

Good Morning Grandpa,
You have shared and celebrated with me every important event in my life. I have been blessed with another one. Dion and I are building our very own new house. We are very excited. We could not have done this without the love and support both you and Grandma have given me throughout my life. I've already invited Grandma over for a sleepover when it's done. Don't worry about Babe...Grandma will make sure someone will feed and let her outside when she needs it. We still have to sell our townhouse, so when people are looking at it, please whisper in their ears that they should buy it, it's a great home, it's in a great location, and anything else you can think of to encourage them to buy it.
I Love You Grandpa. I think of you always.
All My Love,
All of our kisses, The Klepacz Family

Happy Easter Dad! Mom went with us by Irene's house today. She wasn't herself, but she had a nice time. I missed eating your cucumbers today. Irene had them by her house. I immediately thought of you when I saw them on the table. I couldn't eat them though! I hope you had a wonderful day in Heaven! Ricky was wondering if there is a phone in Heaven. He wants to call you. We told him no. He said that someone should invent one so he could call you. Isn't that sweet? We all love and miss you so much!

Good Morning Daddy,
Today is 3 months since you have been gone. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. You always come into my thoughts in one way or another. Actually, today I had a memory of you that made me really laugh. Your laugh was infectious! I can still hear it. It was so hearty. The kids talk about you all of the time. They question heaven daily. I let them know that you are watching over them each day. Dad, please visit mom in her dreams. She's waiting for you! I miss you more and more each day! I love you!
Your wife, Sue

Hi My Love,
It's eleven weeks today that you left me to be with our Lord in Heaven. I went to your final resting place today to pray and thank you for loving me so much. Your death has parted us, but our memories and love for each other will never die. I pray every day that your spirit will come and tell me that you're alright and happy that your suffering is over. I miss you so much and I will always love you.

Happy Valentine's Day
Today is a special day for sweethearts.We didn't need a special day to say "I LOVE YOU",for we told each other that,every day of our lives together.
Today is the first valentines day we are not together.
I have so many wonderful memories of your love for me.
But the last and most precious one,is the last one.
When you started to sing "ALWAYS" to me in the hospital.
It was special to our loved ones too.
For they were there,to see us holding hands,looking into each others eyes,and singing together.I'll be loving you always.
Your Loving Wife,
Sue
P.S. Thanks for the memories.
I miss you so much.
Missing you more every day, Sharon

Good Morning Daddy,
Happy 55th Wedding Anniversary in heaven and on earth. We are going to get together with mom today and visit you at the cemetery to give you and mom anniversary love. She loves you and misses you so much! We all do dad. I know that you know that. Today will be a very difficult day for mom. Embrace her with your spirit daddy. Give her comfort so she feels your love and wonderful touch with her today and always. She will need it more today than ever.
Today will be a day of many tears, so don't be disappointed in us for crying. We just love you so much and feel pain for mom too. We will be with mom today to give her comfort, so don't you worry about that. Remember how you would always send me to Walgreens to pick up a card for her on special days like today? Well, today I will send her a special hug and kiss from you. I think a card would freak her out! We will look back and remember 55 years of love and compassion. Your memories keep us going dad! Thank you for so many of them. Without them, I don't know what we'd do!!! I love you so much!
Your Loving Wife, Sue

Happy Anniversary, My Love!
Today we celebrate our fifty fifth anniversary. We have so many wonderful memories of our life together. But today is a sad day, since you're not with me, in your human form. I know your spirit is with me, but it's not the same.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!
I will go to your final resting place to be with you on this day. When I close my eyes, I'll remember how you looked at me with your loving eyes. And I'll pray, your spirit will give me a warm embrace, and a great big kiss.
I'll love you ALWAYS!

First Love
As a little girl I looked up to you'
walking in your steps was all that I knew'
The games we played, the times we've shared'
you've shown in everything, the way you've cared'
The older I got, the more I knew'
the joy it was to be with you'
You've always been around for me'
and always loved me unconditionally'
You've often shown me right from wrong'
and taught me to be meek and strong'
Your patience and your gentle care'
was everlasting and always there'
A young lady I soon grew up to be'
and academics I accomplished successfully'
With all your love and all your praise'
a successful woman you surely did raise'
Dad, in writing this I just wanted to say'
how much I love you in every way'
You'll always be the king of my heart'
because you were my love from the very first start'
I miss you daddy, my love, my heart, Deborah

Hi Dad! Thank you for being with me at the cemetery the other day. It was very difficult for me at first, but when I heard those wind chimes, I felt you with me. Thank you wrapping your arms around me and comforting me. I hope you like the flowers. The boys had their first indoor soccer game the other night. You never made it to a soccer game last year, but I know you were watching them and cheering for them the same way you would cheer for me at my softball games. When Ricky scored the first goal of the game, I could hear you say "Whoa!!!!" in that playful voice you would always use around kids. I think about you every day. The kids talk about you all of the time. I miss you so much, and I love you even more. I still can't believe it! I'll see you in my dreams!

A million great memories have gone through my mind and through the tears, there have been smiles, because I can still see grandpa holding the back of my neck and telling me he loves me.
When I think of my grandfather, I see a love story. All of the wonderful memories and thoughts I have are special, but one can't think of my grandfather, without thinking of my grandmother.
My grandpa was the strongest man in the world and his strength was his Sue. My grandpas life was a life of love and if you knew him, you know that he was all heart. At times grandpa would hold that love inside, but when it came out, you knew it was real and unconditional.
My grandfather and grandmother, were married for 54 wonderful years and started an amazing family. Through all of the struggles, joy and pains of life, they created the greatest love filled family one can only dream of having.
I have learned a lot from my granfather, through stories, love filled conversations and just being with him. He thought me about love, respect, honor, dignity, loyalty and strength. He was real and a true family man. I can only wish and pray, that one day I can be as great of a man as my grandfather was. Through the hard times in my life, the love, strength and courage I have gotten from grandpa, will always be there to pull me through.
The last time I saw my grandpa, was the day I was married to my wife. My last hug from grandpa, was followed with words " I LOVE YOU AND STAY STRONG". I love you too grandpa and I'm hanging in there.
I will never forget the hunting, fishing, car washing on those saturday mornings, the hugs, kisses, conversations and most of all the love my grandfather blessed me with. We can all only hope that we can live a life with as much love as my grandpa had in his heart. Life is family and family is love.
Always remember, that grandpa isn't gone, he lives in every one of us, forever.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.

As tears come to my eyes, I wonder why you had to die. I sit here and try to figyre why you left so soon, but I realized that I should not ask why because only God knows why you had to go. Now you are in a better place where there is no more pain and suffering. I will always remember all the things that we have done together and all the smiles upon your face. I am thankful that my children were able to meet the most caring and loving person that I know. I wish that Anthony would have got to know his great-grandpa, but he will know who you are from all the pictures and stories that I will tell him. Grandpa I love you with all my heart and I will miss you always, but good-byes are not forever for one day we will be together. I will miss coming to check on you and sitting with you when grandma was not home. You were the most important person in my life, I never looked at you as a grandpa but as a father instead. We had a special bond between us that no one else had and I will miss that. But remember tears in my eyes will go away, the pain in my heart will begin to fade and the memory of you will always stay. I'm not going to say good-bye because we will be together again someday. I love you grandpa and that will never fade for you will always have that space in my heart....I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

My father lived a good full life. His greatest joy was his wife and family. His purpose to provide for us a safe, nurturing, caring, loving environment, a place that would forever be called home. His strong hands guided us through hard and difficult times and his gentle heart comforted us when we became hurt or scared. We shared laughter, tears, joy, and endless celebrations. With my mother at his side, he accomplished his dreams with a steadfast love and no regrets. My brothers, sister, and I will tremendously miss this great wonderful man we call dad but will persevere living each day blanketed in his love and practicing the principles he taught us. His precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he so loved and adored, will continue to grow in his love. I am grateful for each minute, each hour, each day, and each year with him and for his love, always. I thank God everyday for giving us this wonderful, generous, compassionate, unselfish man.
Daddy, I will always be your little girl. You are my hero. When I came to you with tears you lifted me on your knee, took out your hanky (you always had a hanky) and wiped them away. With gentle words you made the hurt disappear and sealed it with a kiss. When I watched a scary movie, I knew the monster couldn’t get me because my daddy was here (remember Shock Theatre?). With my daddy nothing could ever hurt me. Through the years, you wiped away each tear, kissed the hurt away, and took away my fear. I could forever count on you. Thank you. You taught me well. I can go on now daddy; no more tears, no more hurt, no more fear. You are close in my heart. I am so blessed. I now have two Fathers watching over me from heaven. I love you with all my heart.
Daddy’s Little Girl,

Hi Honey,
Don't look so sad. I know it's over. But life goes on, and this whole world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together. There's no need to watch the bridges ever burning. I'll lay my head upon your pillow. I'll pretend your warm and tender body is close to mine. Hear the whisper of my teardrops falling gently on your pillow. And I'll make believe you're with me one more time. "For The Good Times." We had so many of them...54 years, 11 months and 4 days. Our love was made in heaven, and now you are there. Someday I will join you, but for now, I will send you three kisses every night, and I know you will do the same. All the loving memories we shared will keep me strong.
Your loving wife, Sue

Dear Mrs.Talach and Family,
It has been a long time since I've seen any of you, but it seems like just yesterday. I have known you and Milt since the age of seven, when I first stepped on to a baseball diamond at South Cicreo. You guys taught me everything I know and for that I'm so grateful and honored. I just found out about Milt today, had I known sooner,I would have paid my respects. I'm sorry I did not get to say goodbye to a truly funny and wonderful man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care,
