Hi my Daddy,
I miss you SO much!:( I miss taking you shopping,talking with you and laughing with you. You are the best Dad ever! Remember the story you would always tell me? "When you were a little girl, you asked me if I liked you. I said, no honey, I don't like you, I love you." I love you too - so much! Love your favorite youngest daughter, Kathy xoxo

Dear Mace Family - I just heard about Mr. M. I'm so very sorry for your loss and that I was not aware of it sooner. He was an awesome man with a wonderful sense of humor. My deepest sympathy.

Dad
Thank you for giving me the Mace name and the feeling of having a Father. As I get older now I really know how much I have loved you. I only wish I could have told you that one more time before you left.
Love your Son,
George

Dear Pop's
I know that you are looking down from heaven, and will alway's watch over your family. You have alway's been a good father-in-law to me and I will miss not seeing you, even though it was not as often as it should have been. I know that you did and still do know how much I love and respected you. I will miss the stories that you would share when you were in the nursing home.
Sorry I couldn't be there for your fare-well, but you are in a special place in my heart.
Until we meet again.
Love, Marilyn

To Mr Mace watching from above, You have given me many wonderful memories from growing up on Lyndale. The big Green house was the center for all of us. Thank you!
