You never said I'm leaving. You never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. A million times we've needed you, A million times we've cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place That no one could ever fill. It breaks our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone, For all of our love went with you The day God took you home.

Papa- Nothing could have prepared our family for such a tremendous loss. Even though we knew you were very sick we could never imagine not having you in our lives. Unfortunately everyone's greatest fear came true too soon.
Nana is lost without you, after 51 years of marriage you two always looked at each other the same, with endless love. When i look at her now she looks empty because the love of her life is gone, there is no one in
this world that could take your place in her heart.
Papa, i am so glad i had you in my life and i have so many great memories of you. You were the only father figure i really had and i will never forget all the things you taught me . We always had so much fun, you weren't just my papa, you were my friend.As i grew older i saw more and more how much you loved your 3 daughters and how you would do anything to make sure they were doing okay.
Thank you for everything you have done for me and i will miss you more than words can say.
I don't know what i am going to do without my papa, but until i see your smiling face again, i love you and there will always be a piece of my heart missing

Love,
Brittany

Uncle Flagg , when I think of you , some of my best childhood memories of Perry surface .The sweet smell of your pipe.... Walking Lymens road with the beautiful Fall colors ....and I will never forget the look on your face after you ran into that bear on the road . I do believe that you ran all the way back to Nana's.... didnt you have to go back for your walking stick ? And so many Christmas's jammed packed at Nana's singing Christmas carols . Thank you for all the warm memories Uncle Flagg , may you rest in peace . Joanne
