Dear Dad,
Thank-you for being the Dad I looked at with admiration and strength. You gave and never looked for anything in return. There was never a doubt or uncertainty that you would always be there for me, for our family.
I will cherish the years you gave our family on Cape Cod, and all the holidays you and Mom made so special. I am proud to have called you my Dad. I will keep the memories of you forever in my heart. I miss you Dad.
I love you always.
Your daughter,
Ellen

Mr. Burke
I pray that you made Jesus Christ your personal savior, that is the only way into heaven.
You are the grandfather of my forty year old son, he was born in 1969.
Your son Leo announced to me that he was to young to be a father. As if I was, I was only 20 years old.

Dad,
You were the first man in my life and always a good example to all of us. You and mom sacrificed yet did it lovingly and quietly never seeking reward or recognition. Most of all Dad
Tom and I will miss you terribly especially your yearly visits to Florida.
Forever your daughter, Mary E.

Mr. Burke,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dad, I owe you a great deal of gratitude for shaping my life and pushing me when I needed it most. There are enough words to describe how much you will be missed and the lasting impression you left on all of us.
Loved ones await you in heaven.
Your loving son,
Paul

Mr. B
You always kept me on my toes! What you taught me over the years could never be expressed in a few words. Your honesty, integrity and loyalty were unwaivering. You were my boss, my mentor but most of all my friend. Thank you for being a part of my life and for sharing yours with me. I'll miss you, but never forget you.
