Dear Di, Niki, Matt, and Bobby,
I was so sad to hear about your loss of a wonderful husband and father. He (and all of you) was always so welcoming of me into your home and I will not forget that. He had a kind and generous soul that will be remembered by all who knew him. Please remember I am here for all of you and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you through this difficult time.

Love,

You always think there is more time to live, renew friendships and love but more often than not we are only left with memories .
I will always carry with me Bob and Diane's wedding ,each of the kids births , pet store antics , Super-Bowl parties , Bronco Bobby and all of the hunting and fishing trips .
You were a good man and had a profound influence on more lives than you ever could imagine .
Be at peace and I for one will never forget !

Love , FWA

It has been over two weeks, Dad, since you have passed, and I still can't believe you are gone. I ache every second of every day for you. I miss our talks, our dates, your hugs and kisses. I can only hope you knew how much I loved you and how much I appreciate all that you did to make me who I am today. My life will never be the same without you.
