Dad,
It's been one month since we lost you and it still feels like yesterday. It is still hard to think of you gone. I know it is harder for Mom, but I know she's strong and somehow will make it. I still call you everyday to talk to you on the phone. Now it's my turn to carry the torch and I hope that I can do you proud until the day I must pass it down to my kids and join you. Until then all I can say is I miss you and love you Dad.

May God comfort and keep you all in this time of grief. As there is nothing so precious as the soul that will be comforted by the almighty God. He is always there to lean on and to hold up the ones that will trust in him for comfort peace and hope. You are all in our prayers as you face the days before you. Remember all the good times and all the sad times you have shared together and hold on to them with your hearts and Uncle Frankie will always be with you. Remember his laugh and his sigh, remember his smile and his frown, remember who he was and that he was a great man, a loved man and a caring man. In his own way he showed everyone his care and his love for those close to him. The last few years wasn't easy for him but though the love, care and support from his family and friends he didn't pass from this life alone, you were there for him . God bless you all, Aunt Marie and family.

Dad, I am grateful for you. I am grateful for the time we got to spend together. I am grateful for you being such a wonderful father. I will think of you every time I change my own oil, or when I tell Coby to eat this because it will put hair on his chest. I've told Coby that you are now a star in the sky watching us, and when ever he is feeling down or missing his Grandpa, he can look up into the night sky and there you will be. Coby loves you very much and will miss his Grandpa. I know you feel no more pain and that you have lived a great life. But my heart aches so bad to know that I will never again see your face or hear your voice. I love you so much Dad and I will think of you each and every day. I feel so lucky because the last words we spoke to each other on your final day was "I love you Dad" and you said "I love you too". When they came to take you from us I heard geese flying. I'd like to think that in some way your soul was set free at that moment. To fly high, free of pain, feeling the air, watching over us all. I love you Dad and I miss you with all that I am. Your Daughter - Crystal.

Dad,
At times we only think of our own selfish needs, we don't stop to think of how life was for you in your last days.Even though it was hard to let you go I know now that you are at rest.
"Thank You" for all the wisdom, knowledge and laughter you have given to us all! We couldn't ask for a better Father and Dad !
You are truly "SPECIAL" to all of us, and will be greatly missed!
I Love You, Dad
Chris
