We are both deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Cousin Pat. It seems like we just reconnected after all these years, and now he is gone. It meant a great deal to us that Cousin Pat traveled to Baton Rouge to comfort us at my father's passing, and I am deeply sorry that we are not able to be in Chicago to support you all at this time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Poppie I know you loved me and only wanted all of us to be happy, and for all these years I have nothing but good memories. I started welding and try to do my very best, I know you would have loved the rose I made even if it was bad just because its me, but I tried my hardest and always will. Poppie I loved you very much more than anything i can think of, I loved fishing with you and talking about my new welding job i just got, and how good i was doing in ak smith. I love you poppie and think about you every day its been hard but I know you wouldn't want me crying so I stay strong for you, I try my hardest but its just hard, I miss you so very much I loved all my time with you I wish we could have gone hunting together and fishing again but I know no matter what you are always with me watching over me and making sure im safe. Its hard to say goodbye to know that the person I love so much is gone forever and every time I go back to Chicago it will feel like im comming to visit, I can't believe your gone its been hard for all of us and we all loved you you were the greatest person I knew and you will live on in all of us.

You've pushed me to succeed and i'm working in every way possible to make that happen. I'll be sure to make you proud. Thank you for everything.

Dad,
I will always love you and hold you close to my heart. I will never forget you and I won't let my kids forget either. When you left a huge part of me left too. You were the best Dad.

Until I can hug you again -
Love your daughter Stacy


You Never
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
