Dearest Dad,
My tears cannot stop flowing as I try to come to grips with your passing. You were the best dad to me and the greatest grandpa to Mike and Sharon. Always our biggest cheerleader, always there for us in your own quiet way. Your love was unconditional. I miss you terribly already. Thanks for Paris - it was the trip of a lifetime, but more importantly, a time to bond with you and our family.
bon soir, bonne nuit, a bientot.. I love you,
Your daughter,
Donna

Pete, Maryjo and I just noticed the obituary for your father. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and to your family. Your parents were very welcoming to me when I was invited to the lake after my mother had died in 1989. Please keep in touch. Your friends, Tony and Maryjo

To John's Family,

John was a bright light in my day as he came to visit us at Lovell Lake Food Center. It was a blessing to be his friend. We (and especially I) will miss his smile and laugh everyday. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.
