Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





Yesterday was my Birthday. You were the age I am now when I gave birth to April Lynn. "Your Miracle Girl" I missed hearing you tell me "Happy Birthday" and "I Love you very Much" I had a lot of FB friends send me a "Happy Birthday" and Lesli sent me on too. That ment so much to me. Of corse I woke up with Birthday Kisses from April. I missed hearing from Roger Lee. But we did have a short conversation this week. I actually wanted to write this meesage to you. I know Daddy that your Mechanic of a daughter because you had taught me so much. Finally figured out the code your meter was giving for the Purge Valve unit. After 2 years Daddy.... I got the check engine light off by changing a 10 amp fuse that was for the puyrge valve unit. :) I was so excited. I know how proud you are of me. Like you would say. " I never give up until I found out the problem wether or not I can learn how to fix it. Thank You for teaching me how to be a little bit of Mechanically inclined! I love and miss you so much!

Happy Birthday friend and to your family I send well wishes. I was so touched by your family and knowing how proud you were of your service to our country. It is always hard to say goodbye to a brother and hero to our nation. You will not be forgotten.

Daddy,
`I lit a candle to wish you a Happy Birthday! I know that in Heaven we never grow older. I Love and miss you so much! But I am so happy for you! Today you are in Heaven. Living in a Mansion God promised he had prepared for you. You are walking on streets of Gold and are with many of your loved ones. I can see in my mind you and Uncle Frank being together with the Lord is a dream come true for you. You are with the lions grazing with the lambs. I bet Gigi was as happy to see you as you were to se Gigi. Daddy I am so happy you are truly happy and feel good every day. Happy Birthday Daddy! Sending Birthday Hugs and Kisses to you towards Heaven for you today.

Daddy,
I lit a candle for you tonight. It is shinning to let you know How much I love and miss you! It has been 1 month and 46 minutes into another day since I heard your voice, or heard you say "I Love You Very Much" "Call Me If You Need Anything" "You Aren't Ever Alone. You have A Father That Is Always Here For You and With You." I miss you so much! I've been told as time goes by Missing you will get easier." I don't think being apart is ever going to get easier for me. I felt like I just found you. I know when we are togther I won't miss you anymore. You gave me strenght and encouagement. Like I have never been given before. I will hold on to all the strength you have given me and stay strong unti we are togethr again. I will always hear the last words we spoke and feel the soft kiss you place unpon my check. Before you entered Heavens Gates forever. Goodnight Daddy,
I Love you.

Even though I never met you, I know you were a proud marine. Getting to be on a mission with the Patriot Guard at a service like yours reminds me of why I ride and attend these gatherings. We are a proud band of brothers and when you get to meet the family of a fallen soldier, you are reminded of what it means to serve and honor those who depart us. Semper Fi my friend, Semper Fi.
