I miss you very much and you will never be forgotten. You and ma will alway be alive in my memories. Thank you for all the wonderful memories that stay alive with so many people.
I love you,
Shirley

Dear Great Grandpa,
I know that you don´t know me too well, but I am almost positive that you have been watching over me for the longest time. I wish I could have seen you at least once before you died. You have made an impression on everyone. You have changed so many people's lives and futures. Because of you people have something to look forward to in their future.

Hi Dad
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I still do think about you all the time. So does Ma. She always has something good to say about you. I had another dream about you. I don't know if you were trying to tell me something or what. I like when you come to visit me in my dreams. Ma wants you to come to her dreams too.
We all still miss you very much, and you will never be forgotten by any of us. Please come to visit us in our dreams more often.
I Love you,
Love Shirley

I wish I could tell you that face to face. I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. I think about you mostly at night when it is nice and quiet. I remember all your little jokes. I miss all your jokes and little phrases. I love you very much and I will write again soon.

Dear Dad,
I think of you every day. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I know that all of your pain and suffering is gone. I know now that you are in good hands with the Lord. I know you are happy and doing better. Dad, you are missed very, very much. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams at least 3 times a week. You will always be remembered and kept in our hearts and memories. I just want you to know that I am taking care of Mom. I painted your kitchen for you and I bought Mom a warm coat and gloves so she would be warm when we come and see you. One day when the Lord says it's my time to go, we will be together once again forever and ever. I come to the cemetery at least once a week and I talk to you about a 1/2 hour. It's hard at times when I talk to you and you don't respond, but I know you are listening to what I say to you. My feelings for you will never go away because I will love you always and forever through eternity. On your funeral day, I think you were proud of me because Eileen and I wrote you a poem that goes: "Dad, the angels were told to bring peace to your pain so they whispered a song and called out your name. Your journey begins just beyond Heaven's gates now go with the angels where eternal love waits. Our hearts have been crying for we lost you here and all that we wish is for you to be near. When we close our eyes we'll still see your face for a father's love is not something that death can erase. We will still listen each day for a gentle new song when we need your voice to carry us along. We will often look up to peaceful night skies and fing bright stars like your loving eyes. Dad, this is not a final goodbye we'll see you again yes, God told us why. For just like you we have a little place that God has made just beyond Heaven's gates."
I love you more than words could say. We miss you and love you and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love you always and forever.
Your Son,
Wayne

No one has written anything in over a month. I miss you so, so, so much. Everyone is trying to get on with their every day life's, but it is so hard doing this without you. You are on my mind day and night. I have a very hard time sleeping. I wish I knew what you were trying to tell me. I still haven't excepted the fact that all this has happened, I keep thinking I am going to wake up and find out that this was just a bad dream. I love you and miss you very much. I have to keep thinking that we will all be together again one day.
Everyone is having dreams about you except for Ma and I. I hope you will visit us in our dreams soon. I want you to tell me that you are happy and not in any pain.
You told that to Jane in her dreams.
I love you and promise to write my thoughts again soon.
Love you always and forever,
Shirley

Grandpa,
I will really miss you. My best memory is the gifts you used to wrap me up for Christmas. One year I got a rotten potato & another year I got an onion. I thought that was really funny. I never left your house without laughing about something you said or did.
Love you....

My Father, My Friend
From as far back as I could remember you have always been there for me,
You've taught me I could accomplish anything if I would just be me.
You taught me to have humor, be stong & always speak my mind,
You've taught me to be honest & to always be kind.
I thank you for these values you have instilled in my life,
Because you made me understand the importance of motherhood & being a wife.
I'm a strong willed person because of you,
Yes, I have that stubborn side, this is true.
But I got these things from you & I thank you for this,
These are the qualities in you I will truly miss.
We'll all be together one day & continue our lives again,
I will still be your daughter & also your best friend.
I just want you to know until that time nears,
I will remember all of our fun times & still wipe away my tears.
You will always be with me through my daily routine,
Most of all I will always remember you through my dreams.
I love you........

We will take good care of your daddy. He is already very happy up here. He has told many jokes already. He has sung many songs. He is not in pain anymore. He will miss his loving wife and family and he promises to re-unite some day with all of them. He wants his family to go on with their lifes. Do not worry about him anymore, he did find his way to heaven and he is pain free. He loves all of you and he will see you all again some day.
Love the Angels from above

Dad,
The memory that sticks in my head is the song you taught me when I was in kindergarden. I sang the song to my classroom & was very proud to sing it. The song was, I had a dear old daddy. That song will always be a part of me & I will be sure to teach it to my grandchildren. I hate that I had to move to Maryland because I didn't get to see you as much as I would have liked. I wish my grandchildren could have gotten to know you because they would have loved you as much as we all do. You will never be forgotten & I will cherish every memory I have of you. I will never forget the time you chased me & my friends around the neighborhood with a mouse. You are the best dad a daughter could wish for. Love you.

Dad,
I will miss you more than anyone will ever know. I love you and will miss all your pratical jokes. You would stay up at night thinking of the jokes you will tell the next day. I will never forget the bluegoffis joke you told me, or the time you picked on Ma and told her that you couldn't hear her because your hair was wet, and the time you slapped Uncle Joe in ther face with a fish on one of your many fishing trips. I will also miss all the goofy songs you would sing to us. You were such a good and honest father. You would never take a penny from anyone. You were a very giving man, you would give the shirt off your back to a family member or to a good friend. You would even give to a stranger in need. You were also a good husband to Ma, you took care of her very well. You will always be in our memories. One day we will all meet again and re-unite. I love you very much and will also miss you very much, but I will not say good-bye because you will always be in my memories and I will always share the good times we had together as a family with my children and hope I can be the loving, kind parent to them as you were to me.
Love you always and forever,
Shirley

Grandpa,
We will miss you dearly. We will never forget your kisses. Your kisses were very loud and wet. You were the best grandpa that any kid can ask for.
We love you and we hope that God will take care of you as good as Grandma did.

To a great uncle that will be missed. He always had something to say that made me laugh. As a kid up his house he would get Dennis and I laughing so hard are sides would hurt. Everybody has memories of someone at times like this, and this is only one of many great memories I have of my Uncle Waino.

I always remember him and my aunt and several of my cousins visiting us in the U.P. each summer/fall. He always seemed to have jokes to share and a good sense of humor. He will be missed by his family.
