Dear Trina, Theresa, Nicole & Tommy: You did a great job, it was a beautiful funeral, it was very hard for me to watch all of you go through the pain and sorrow. I wish you did not have this sorrow, but that is the way the world is. I know it will make you all much stronger, even though you are all very strong already. God will bless you and keep you very close.

This has been a very hard week for all of you, and you all did very well. I wlll pray for all of you in my prayers and ask God to watch over you and keep you safe.

Trina and Tommy,

My sympathy goes out to the both of you. Growing up wasn't easy for you guys. But your dad was always there for both you. He was an awesome man, and he will definitely be missed by everyone. I know both of you are strong souls and it doesn't seem like it but you will both get through this. You have your family and friends to help.

To my Dad,(my bestfriend)
I love you dad sooo much & you will be missed very much. I spent a lot of time with you on the truck.. Yes you had a lot of big trucks. I have memories of alot of good times with you and its killing me that you are gone & i know you were looking forward to my wedding with Rick . But i guess u will look over us and protect us cause you always protected me. You were a strong & beautiful father no matter what we have been through you made up for it all way more than enough in the last 10 yrs.. You were always a hard worker and you took care of your family & I know you would give the shirt off your back to me.. I love you Dad & I miss you so much.. So i will make sure you are put to rest in the best way i can.You left me too soon Dad!!! We love You sooooo much ...
Your #1 Daughter,
Love ,
Katrina & Rick
