Hello Grandpa,

I miss you so much and I love you. It's different without you here. I miss the crab legs that was hard to get from you and the pickles from the corner store amd the freezer pops...The hardest part of it all is waking up and realizing that your not here. After the funeral and everything I used to wake up from my sleep and talk to you like you were there, and mysterious things started to happen. I miss you grandpa sooo much. Your granddaughter, Brittany aka Baby gurl.
P.S I hope you are enjoying Tweety and keeping him sage from Sylvester, oh and keep God Laughing, I know your the big jokster in heaven.

Hey Dad, Just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and to send this poem that I wrote.

WHEN YOU ARE GONE

I miss you since you have been gone

Everytime I hear the lyrics to that song

Remember when we would laugh

And everything in the world was okay

It seemed that we had so much to look forward to

But then one Monday

I got the message that you were gone

My heart and soul filled with so much fear

Thinking how we would never be able to see each other again

I cried tears of sorrow

Because I know that we are not promised tomorrow

Yet we go on living our lives day to day

Not sure if we will see each other and be able to say I love you.

I miss your smile that would light up the room

I miss you since you have been gone

We would see each other almost everyday

Not knowing if today would be the day

I would say “I’ll see you tomorrow”

And then it never came, the promise that I made

Has begun to fade

Because now you are gone and tomorrow will never come for you again

All the laughs we shared and the jokes that you told

Has all disappeared and ended in just a moment but will live forever in my heart

Live each day as if it were your last

We don’t know when God will call us home

But when He does, I want you to know that you will never be alone

When I remember the lyrics to that song

Or the way we use to laugh and joke

I'll remember that you are always with me even when I can’t see you face to face.

I miss you since you have been gone…

Billie, I never had the opportunity to personally meet you but I was lucky enough to have talked to you over the phone briefly. It was a conversation that I will never forget even though it was short. In the short time we spoke your kindness and caring and humor came through to me and I remember thinking what a sincere Man! I will always remember your warm kind- hearted spirit that day and will tressure the moment always! God Bless such a special man and his family! Love, Tracey and Daryl Roller and family
