You know, it doesn't really get easier as time passes. It's been almost 5 years since you left us. Seems like only yesterday to me.

No new additions to the family this year.

Really miss seeing everyone this time of the year. Please continue to watch over all of them. They are all still in my heart.

There is a song I like for this holiday. It's called "Even Now" by Nana. (can't spell her last name) Make me think of you even more.

I love you and miss you very much. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder how things would be if you were still here. You have a beautiful great-grandson that gives his papaw kisses every chance he gets. And he plays the drums. That makes grandma smile pretty big because I know she's thinking of you. See you again one day.

January 20, 2009

Tonight it has been 3 years since you left here for a better place.

You are still loved and missed so much my darling angel. Not a day goes by that you aren't thought about. I talk to you each day.

I thought as time passed it might get easier, but it doesn't, not really. The hurt and pain of missing you is still here. Sometimes I think I am able to take 2 steps forward, then something happens to remind me you aren't here.

I still remember that night so clearly. We KNEW when you had left us. There was the brightest light surrounding you. All 3 of us saw, but none of us said anything until much later. The house got very quiet and there was a peaceful feeling I've never felt before or since. It was like the hand of GOD came and took you home with HIM.
I KNEW you were safe and whole again.

Gary, I'll always love you. You were the love of my life. You still are. I still feel so lost without you by my side.

Please watch over all the kids, grandkids and great grandson.

Thank you for always being there and loving me through the years.

Last night I felt you here with me/us. I was actually happy for the first Christmas since you left us. Even Shay noticed and commented about it.

It had to be your light that shined last night and guided us home. First time I've never had a problem driving at night. We made it home in no time and the roads were like a bright light on them.

Please watch over all the kids, grandkids and great grandson.

Merry Christmas in Heaven my Love.

Hi my Sweetheart, My Love.
Yesterday was Kaden's 2nd birthday. I know you were there with him and watching over him and our other grandchildren.

I need you to walk beside me and hold my hand, to help me make a decision in my life. Need your guidance now more than ever I think.

I've met someone online and I need your guidance on what to do. I'm scared, unsure of myself. You were always my best friend and the one person I could talk to. I know it's asking a lot, but you are the only one that can help me with this one Sweetheart.

I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I ALWAYS have. There is not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts and you are ALWAYS in my heart. Your place there can NEVER be replaced.

Just came by Dad to tell you we have not forgot you!!! I think about you daily. As I look at Kaden I think of how proud you would be of him. He has his on personality. He is the strong willed. He wants to do things his way & he don't give up!!! Stephen said he is stuborn like his mother. Cody is playing sports as always. He played football this fall for the Junior High & now is going out for basketball. Don't laugh, he has made it through two of the cuts so far with one more to go. Taylor is still in the band & the dance team. I wish you could be here to see them all. Taylor & Cody think of you too. Cody, Stephen & I went to see Minnesota play Dallas up at the Texas stadium. I told Stephen that I knew you were there looking at us. I really wish you could have been there with us. You in the blue & us in the purple. But of course I am sure you had your shirt on in heaven with God. Dad, I love you & miss you!!! Talk to you later

Hello my Precious Angel. Sure am missing you a lot lately. Had to come here tonight. Been putting it off.
Tuesday, after I took Shay to school, I walked in the back door and a smell hit me. It was very strong. A man's cologne. It only went so far as to the end of the kitchen. I thought someone was in the house. Then it hit me. It was YOUR cologne I was smelling. It was the Hugo Boss. It was like you were right here. Sort of freaky at first. But nice. After the 'talk' Monday night, it just seemed like you were answering me. I can't get over how strong the smell was.
When I went to the bathroom, that small bottle of yours was on the counter. Sweetheart, thank you for the visit, because I really do believe you were here.
Love you more as each day passes. Miss you more as each day passes. It does get a little easier, but not much, to go on each day with you not being here. Moments like Tuesday reminds me that you are here, all around me.

Happy Labor Day My Angel!

Sure am missing you a lot. Been in a funk for awhile now. People tell me it's all part of the grieving process. I'm really tired of the roller coaster ride though. It's wearing my spirit out.

I'm depressed because it's been a year almost and still haven't been to see Kaden. One reason is, that car just wouldn't make it. another is, I hardly ever get out of the house. Maybe all that will change with time though. Was hoping maybe Judy would bring him up here, but guess that's not going to happen either. People have their own lives to live.
Sorry to come here like this, but you were always my rock.

Wanted to stop here and let you know you haven't been forgotten. That I think of you each day and dream of you most nights.

Our great grandson will be born in a few days. Please watch over Ash very closely. I know you were with her today.

I felt really great yesterday. Linda and I stopped at a garage sale. I saw a purse there. It was a CC purse. It was like the one we had seen at the last gun show. I figured it would cost too much, but asked..it was $.50..I grabbed it right up. Got to the car, looked inside, checked the CC zippered pocket and found a penny there..1952..Thank you Sweetheart. I knew then it was meant for us to stop there and for me to buy that purse. I'm calling it my anniversary gift from you.
Finding that penny made my whole day so much brighter and better.

28 years today Darling. Long time for a couple. If I knew back then that I wouldn't have you today, I'd have still married you.

Was remembering the day we got married. Sure wish there had been pictures. You in that Wonder Woman T-shirt, me almost passing out when they took blood for the blood test, the chicken fried steak lunch we had while waiting on the preacher to get there. It was a full day and full of happiness.

Another birthday without you here by me my Darling. I'm slowly learning how to cope with you not here. It's still not easy. Miss you more as each day passes.
Today will be my last birthday. Going to turn this day over completly to Trevor. He won't have to share this day, it will be all his.

Since today is also Trevors birthday , please watch over him and send him birthday kisses from heaven. He's one year old today.

I remember so well the day he was born. We all knew you had something to do with it. I felt your presence so much that morning. I KNEW you were there with all of us.

I LOVE YOU MY DARLING ANGEL!!

Good Morning My Angel!
Sure am missing you right now. So lonely here without you by my side. Days are getting longer, nights shorter, but you're with me every hour.

Maybe someday I will be able to move forward in my life, but for now, I'm where I am and it's working for me for now.

Babes, It's so hard without you by my side. So many things have happened and some not so great. Those are the ones I need your help with.

Love You Sweetheart!!!

Hello My Darling!

Baby, I am really missing you a lot these days. I'm so very lonely now.

I think all the animals know it because they are all sticking very close.

Now that I am bringing Bo in at nights, ya know where he sleeps..not on the floor anymore. He get up on the sofa on your end and that's where he spends the night..always facing the bedroom..like he is watching out for me. Pepsi is still sleeping on your pillow. Susie sleeps wherever on the bed..

Missed you a BUNCH yesterday during the Super Bowl. Didn't have you here explaining things to me or needs chips or dip refilled..

Wanted to let you know though, that I know you are here with me all the time. I feel your presence or smell your scent.

Miss you and LOVE you so very much Gary.

Hello My Sweetest Angel.
Thinking a lot about you today. It's been a year since your services.

There were so many friends there sweetheart. It was hard for everyone to believe that you were no longer with us.

I STILL find that hard to believe. Somedays are better than others, but none have been easy. I reach for you at night only to find your place empty. It's then that I look at your picture and know you may be gone in body, but you are still here with me.

I LOVE YOU so much Darling!
I MISS YOU so much.

Lots of Love forever and a day Babes.

I couldn't let it go. Had to keep it for at least another year. No way could I not come here every night and read through this guest book. I'd be lost not being able to.

Miss you my Precious Angel.
Love you more as each day passes.

Still holding all your love in my heart until we meet again Sweetheart.

All my love for eternity plus one day.

Good Morning Sweetheart!

Don't know if I'll be able to keep this online or not. I hope I will because I love coming here every morning and night. Way it's looking, well, not good.

Something I know you know already. You are going to be a great grandpa. Ashley is pregnant. Please watch over her and the new life inside her. Looks like we might have another October baby. Will know more after the 16th, her first sonogram.

Miss you so much right now Darling.
GOD must think I'm pretty strong because I keep getting things put on my plate. I know you are there to help me thru it all too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEETHEART! ! !

Not the same without you here. Had no one to hold and kiss at midnight.

One of the reasons I am still awake at this hour.I'm all alone and missing you so very much. Guess I need to get to sleep. Had to visit you here though.

First New Years in 28 years we haven't been together and it doesn't seem right at all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY SWEETHEART!

Sure wasn't the same here without you.
I know your presence was felt in this house last night and today though.

How's your first Christmas in Heaven? Sure it is one that is beautiful and filled with so much love, As much love as I still have for you Darling.

I LOVE YOU so VERY much Gary Lynn. I carry your love in my heart, so I know you are with me always.

The girls sure missed you too this year. Judy loved the ornament. Haven't heard anything from Sean, but sure he liked it too.

Watch over all the children and grandchildren Sweetheart.

See you someday, wait for me. Right now, wish I were with you, or you were here.

Darling it's been 11 months today since you left us.
Some times it seems like yesterday, others seems like forever.

I know I'm lost without you here beside me.

You are still loved and thought about everyday my darling husband.

Judy sent a picture of them and the kids. I swear I saw the twinkle in Kadens eyes I saw in yours. Maybe it was just me.

Please watch over all the kids and grandkids my Sweetheart. They are all very special in all their own ways.

Christmas will be a hard day to get thru without you here. I will probably go out to Bob's. Need to have at least part of your family around me on this day.

Gary, I Love you more as each day passes. I miss you more as they go by. It ISN'T getting easier at all.
Maybe someday, but not now.

All My Love For Eternity plus One Day!
Until We Meet Again Sweetheart!

Good Night My Precious Angel.

You are the angel that will be on top of the tree this year. We're fixing up one of your pictures and putting it on top of the tree.

The tree is still in there with nothing on it right now. None of us seem to be in a mood to decorate it.

Soon as we get OUR Angel fixed, IT will be there though.

I sure am missing you Sweetheart. It is so lonley without you here...
Everyone misses you so very much.

We are all doing okay I guess. I'm still having a hard time leaving the house, but I know it will get better some day.

Talked(wrote) with Becky and it has helped. She's a good woman honey.

I LOVE you Gary...more each day.

There is a reason to smile this year though & that is your new grandsons, Trevor & Kaden. I just wish you could be hear to share the joy with us. I know you are watching over us & will always be here in our hearts and in spirit. I love and miss you daddy!! Hugs and kisses.
