Hi dad,

Hi Dad,
I thought I'd be early in wishing you a happy birthday instead of always being late!! I know you must be surprised.
I hope you have a great day and spend it with mom and all your family and friedns that are there with you.
As I always tell you and mom, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you two. You were the best parents in the world and I can only hope that I am 1/2 the parent to my kids as you were to me. Each of your grandchild have become awesome adults and parents. You and mom would be so proud of them and would love your great grandkids.
Again I hope you have a great birthday and continue to keep an eye on us all.
Love you,
Diane

Hi Dad,
I know I'm late but it doesn't mean I wasn't thinking of you on Father's day. There isn't a day that does by that I don't think of you and mom and how lucky I was to have parents like you & mom. You have taught me what a good parent is like & I only hope that I can be half the great parent to my kids as you were to me.
I miss and love you and mom so much.

Hi Dad,
Kind of weird to say that knowing 5 years ago I was saying good bye to you. I will never forget that day.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you & mom & how lucky we all were to have you in our lives. like Cindy said I wish you & mom were here to see all your "Great" grandchildre. Talk about the "League of Nations"!!
I want to thank you & mom for being there with our bowling team on Thursdays. Ever since I asked for you & mom's help our team has won 6 weeks in a row losing only 1 game by 1 pin.
i love knowing that you & mom are there with me. I hope you come ever week.
Tell mom and everyone who is up there with you I miss & love them all.
I hope you & mom can join me & Johnny tomorrow for bowling.
Love & miss you,
Diane

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. We all have a lot of good memories that we keep with us of you and Ma. We had the greatest parents.
You have a new great grandson - Tyler Steven Wu. He's so cute and I wish every day that you and Ma could see him.
Love you.

Happy Birthday Dad. Hope you and mom are celebrating together. We had 65 people over yesterday for Lynne's college graduation party. Wish you could have joined us. Your great grandson Patrick is getting big and is just soooo handsome. I can see a little bit of you in him- not sure if it's because he has no hair or not. Love you and miss you!!!

Hi Grandpa & Grandma,
I just wanted to say Hi and make sure that you and Grandma look down on us now that you are together. I don't like it now that you grandma, dad and grandpa p aren't around but I know that with that many more angels up there we always having someone watching over us.
Take good care of each other now that you are together again.
We all love you and miss you!
P.S. I'd like to know how to say I love you in armenian if you and grandma could work your magic that'd be great : )
April 3, 2011
Hi Dad,
To say the last couple of weeks have been crazy is an understatement. Mom is a fighter as you know and hung on as long as she could. I'm so glad you two are together again. She missed you a lot. We were so lucky to have parents like you. Keep an eye on us all. Miss you both!!!!
Love,

Hi Dad,
I'm sure you are happy to have "your Maggie" with you now. That's where she belongs. Don't yell at her if she askes the same questions a few times as she has been through a lot the past few weeks and may still be a little confused.
I miss you and ma so much but knowing that you are now reunited makes it a lttle easier.
Keep an eye on us all at this tough time and give mom a hug & kiss from me.
Love & miss you,
Diane

Hi Dad,
It's almost a new year. Christmas has come and gone. It was a quiet one this year. Jeff and I spent it with Steve. Jeff has been such a big help to me. He loves watching Dr. Who like you did. And of course the Moxie. I miss Linda and Ken being here for the holidays. And of course I miss you being here. It's not the same.
Please watch over all of us, especially Mom.
Love you.
Cindy
December 28, 2010
Dad,
Missed you again at Christmas and everyday. I was telling a friend about our Christmas' at Uncle Eddie's and how much fun we had. I miss that. Wanted to let you know Andrea is expecting a baby boy in May, Jill is engaged and Lynne will be graduating from college next year. Busy 2011. Mom is still going strong but like the rest of us misses you. Keep an eye on all of us.
Love you and miss you,

Hi Dad,
Sorry I didn't write this sooner but I haven't been feeling good for the past few days. John, Hannah, Farnkie, Chrissy, Cindy, Jeff & I went to see Ma Christmas Eve & it was so nice to see Frankie sitting next to her Great Grandma while she played the piano. She seems to be doing well although I know somewhere inside her she misses you terribly like all of us.
Keep an eye on her when we can't be with her please.
Love & Miss you,
Diane

Happy Birthday Dad. Hope you had a great celebration with eveyone. Ma is doing well- still going strong at 86 years old. I want you to know the geranium at the cemetary is still green despite the lack of rain. I think your green thumb has something to do with it staying so healthy. Love you and miss you so much!!!!
Love,
Joanne
Diane Miley
August 1, 2010
Happy Birthday Dad. Miss and love you so much.
Joanne & I went to see you yesterday and cleaned up the Geranium and the plaque on your grave.
It seems so strange not having you here to call on the phone, but when I do talk to you, you do have a way of answering me.
Cindy, Joanne Jeff & I took Ma out to Friendlys' yesterday and after having breakfast at Waltham Crossing she proceeded to have 2 scrambled eggs, toast & a little home fries. It's good to see that she is eating & builing up her strength.
She seems to really like it there and has been said to be the joker in the crowd.
I miss you so much & I wish you, Eleanor & Jack could be here to see your gorgeous little Great Grand Daughter. She is so darn precious.
Miss you lots & love you,
Diane ( your little moog)
August 1, 2010
Hi Dad. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You must be having a party with everyone. We took Ma out yesterday to Friendly's. She finished before we all did. Please watch over her.
I miss you so much every day and I thank you so much for making me the person I am today. I've got that German streak in me just like you did. I think we all do.
Love you and miss you.
Love,

Dad,
This past Saturday Andrea got married to Eric. We had a great time in celebrating the beginning of their lives together. My only regret is that her own dad, her two grandpas, Steve G & Ma couldn't be there with us. I'm sure you watched her ... heck you all had the best seats. Please guide her to having the same love that you & ma shared in all your years of marriage.
Love you and miss you so much,
Diane
July 18, 2010
Hi Dad,
Yesterday your grand daughter Andrea got married. She was a beautiful bride and Eric is such a nice guy. I wish you could have been there as well as Ma. And of course Steve and Tom. I know you were watching us though.
Love you and miss you every single day.
Love,
Cindy
July 17, 2010

Today is a very special day for me. Andrea is getting married. I wish that you could be here to help celebrate with us. I know you will be watching down on all of us.

June 20, 2010
Happy Father's Day Dad. I miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to you and still ask for your advice. Like Joanne said Ma is doing well but still misses "Her Harry". She is having a great time at Waltham Crossing.
Wish you were still here with us.
Love,
Diane
June 20, 2010
Happy Father's Day Dad. Wanted to let you know Mom is doing well although she misses "her Harry" so much. She is quite the speed demon with her walker and is happy where she is. I wish you were here- miss you so much.
Love,

Dad,
Merry late Christmas. I am writing from Disney World because I thought it would be nice to be here on Christmas with the girls. Don't think I will be doing this again. I was talking to a friend recently about spending Christmas on Doty Street and really miss those times. Life seemed so much simpler then.
Like Diane and Cindy said Ma is still doing great since her operation and could probably win a walker race with no problem. Her memory is getting worse but she is happy and healthy though she misses you a lot.
Keep an eye on her as well as your harem. Love you and miss you.
Love, Joanne
December 27, 2009
Hi Dad,
Merry Christmas. Sorry I didn't get to write to you, but we we've been down at Cambridge since Christmas Eve. I did say it to you though so I hope you heard me.
I just read Cindy's letter to you. She's right, it's not the same without you and Steve, and having Steve in the nursing home and Linda & Ken in MD. I miss the good old days. I hope you, Jack & Eleanor got to see your great granddaughter when she was at Cambridge. She is such a little love.
Ma seems to be doing well. She is walking like she never had hip surgery. I actually think she is walking better since she had it. She's definately proven to me that if she needs to, she can be a strong person.
Please keep watching over her when we can't be there.
I miss you so much and think of you everyday.
Love,
Diane
December 25, 2009
Merry Christmas Dad! This was a very strange one since we're not celebrating until January. Jeff and I went to see Steve and spent some time with him then headed over to see Ma where we met Diane. Boy is Ma a speed demon with her walker.
It's still so strange not having you here at this time and not celebrating Christmas on Doty Street. I really miss that.
Love you Dad. I think of you all the time!
Love,
Cindy
November 14, 2009
Hi Dad,
Joanne and Diane have said it all. I know you were watching over Ma while she was in the hospital and rehab. She's definitely a tough little cookie and an amazing one.
It's so hard to believe it's been two years since you left us. Not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. You were always there for us Dad and I know you are still watching over us and giving us advice in your own way. I often think about when we worked together and I miss that time.
Miss you and love you Dad. You're the greatest!
Love,
#1 daughter
November 13, 2009
Hi Dad,
Tomorrow will be the 2 year anniversary of when you passed away. I will always remember that day as though it was yesterday.
As Joanne has told you Ma fell and fractured her hip but within a month she was back home. I think she surprised us all in how quickly she recuperated. She is one strong willed 88 lb. 86 year old.
I started a new job on November 2nd and will be traveling to North Andover now. All the people are so nice.
I hope you have been noticing how quickly your little Great Granddaughter "Frankie" is growing. Johnny & I are going to go see her on Sunday. She is such a little love. I just wish you, Jack & Eleanor were here so she could meet all of you.
I miss you so much Dad, but I know that you're still there when I need you.
Love you,
Diane
November 13, 2009
Dad,
Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of when you left us. It seems like it was yesterday. Mom is doing well. She fell and fractured her hip, got it operated on, went to rehab and is back "home" all in a month. She has shown us just how stong she really is. She is one tough 86 year old!!!
Miss you and think about you everyday.
Love,
Joanne
August 24, 2009
Hi Dad,
I just want to let you know that you, Eleanor & Jack are Great Grand Parents to a beatuiful baby girl name Frances May. She was born on 8/20.
She is as cute as can be and she already has her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger.
My only regret is that all of you are not here to share in this great moment.
On the same day Frances was born, Chrissy had back surgery. She had a disc removed in her lower back. She is doing awesome. She was up & walking 3 1/12 - 4 hours after surgery and is getting better every day.
I miss you so much.
Love,
your Moog.
August 1, 2009
Good Morning Dad,
Just wanted to say Happy Birthday. Wow- you would have been 88 years old!!! Diane and I saw Mom yesterday and she is still doing well but misses you so much as we all do especially today. Thinking of you every day and miss you lots.
Love you,
Joanne
August 1, 2009
Hi Dad,
Happy Birthday Dad. I miss saying that to you in person. It's not the same doing it this way.
Joanne & I took Ma to the cemetery on Monday to see you. She still doesn't understand why you left us. We try to explain it to her but she just wants her "Harry" back. We all want you back but we can at least understand why you left us, not that it makes it any easier.
Ma is doing great at her place and she seems to be enjoying herself. She's become a little "Social Butterfly".
Please keep an eye on her when we can not be there with her.
I miss you so much.
Love you,
Diane ( your little moog)
August 1, 2009
Happy Birthday Dad. I still find it hard to think that you're not here with us. Think about you every day.
Ma is doing OK. It's like she's in her own little world. She is getting out to activities though. And joking a lot with the people at Waltham Crossings.
Miss you!
Love, Cindy
Diane
June 21, 2009
Hi Dad,
Happy Father's Day. I miss you so much. It still seems so unreal that I can't call you up and just talk with you.
Joanne & I brought a plant to you yesterday from all of us for Fathr's Day. I hope you like it.
As you can see for yourself Ma is doing OK. It's so tough to see her in the state she is in. But she is having a great time in her own little world. Please keep an eye on her for us.
Love you miss you,
Diane

Happy Father's Day Dad! It still seems so strange not to have you here to say it to. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you so much.
Just got back from vacation. Jeff and the dogs went. Yes Molly and Bailey went on vacation. They're still as crazy as they were when they visited Doty Street.
Steve is doing OK. Still in the nursing home, but getting more treatment. He asks about you all the time.
Please watch over all of us and help us. I miss all your good advice, even if I didn't always agree with you. You were usually right.
Miss you and love you.

February 8, 2009
Hi Dad,
I haven't written to you in a while so I thought I would update you on what's going on.
Well, John told me a few weeks ago that him & Hannha's wedding plans were put on hold. He than went to inform me that they are going to have a baby. Dad I am so excited and happy for them. Of course I cried when he told me, but I am a very emotional person anyway. She is due around August 24th. Wouldn't that be nice if she had it on you & mom's anniversary? I hope you are as excited and happy for them as I am.
Joanne & I went to visit Ma yesterday & she looked good, (except her hair was a little crazy). We took her out to Friendly's and Cindy & Jeff met us there.
She's been getting out of her room doing a lot of things at Waltham Crossing and she seems to be enjoying herself, even though she doesn't remember much of what she does.
We took her to Dr. Shushan because we were a little concerned about a couple of things but the doctor said she is doing fine. (Hey just to let you know she did need her ears cleaned out).
Dad we all miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't ask for you to guide me in the right direction.
I wish you were here to see your first Great Grand child, but I know you'll be there in spirit.
Miss you soo much.
Love,
Your little Moog

Hi Dad,
Well the house is sold. It's sad, but I want you to know a young couple with two young children bought it. I hope they have the memories that we do growing up there.
As Diane said, we had our sleepover and it was great seeing Libby, Ginny and Debbie - like we never left the neighborhood. And Jay joined us for dinner. Lots of laughing and reminiscing. We were all so lucky to grow up there and have the great parents we did.
Steve goes to see a doctor tomorrow about his leg. I am so hoping she has good news and can help him. Watch over him Dad.
Love you and miss you so much.
Love, Cindy
Diane
December 28, 2008
Dad,
Sorry I didn't wish you a Merry Christmas I wasn't near a computer until today. But I did say it to you Christmas morning. As Joanne told you we were all over her house for lunch. It's always a great time getting together with our family, but it just isn't the same without you and Steve P, and with Steve G in the nursing home it sucks.
Well we had our sleep over at Doty Street and we had a great time. It was great seeing Ginny & Libby again and seeing Debbie after so many years.
I'm sure you had a great Christmas with everyone there. It must have been a real feast with all the great cooks up there.
I miss you so much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't find myself taking to you and asking you for some guidance or advice.
I love you and miss you so much.
Diane

Dad,
It's Christmas night. Everyone came here for dinner today including ma. I think she did okay but she kind of seems to be in her own little world. It is very hard to see her like that and wish you were here to help. I know she misses you a lot as we all do. Saturday we are having a sleep over at Doty street with Libby, Ginny and Debbie before we sell the house on Monday. It's going to be weird to leave a place that has been a part of your life for 50 years but boy do we have great memories of Doty Street.
We'll play a game of hopscotch for you. Miss you so much!!!!
Love,
Joanne

Hi Dad,
We're supposed to have a big snow storm tomorrow. Remember how you always called us to make sure everyone got home OK? I missed that last year.
Christmas is next week and it's not the same without you, Steve Pass or my Steve around. Christmas at the nursing home with Steve just isn't the same. We'll all be at Joanne's - hopefully the weather will cooperate.
The house is being sold. It's almost all cleaned out. We found a lot of old pictures and letters you wrote to Ma. You really saved everything. They were nice memories seeing them though and it told us alot about you and Ma - how much you loved each other and your family. We're having one last sleepover at the house with Libby, Ginny and Debbie. Watch over us while we're there, but don't listen too closely. We still have some secrets from our parents.
Miss talking to you every day.
Love,
Cindy

I'm sorry you guys lost your dad, my uncle, last year. It does my heart good to hear the love he left behind. Aunt Margurite is also very strong. I wish I could have spent more time with you guys. Just know the little time I was allowed to have was a blessing. Please get in touch if you want to. I would like that very much. Leslie Jurjurian Allen

Dad,
Today is the anniversary of when you left us. It feels like it was just yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. You were so strong right up to the end. (I think that's where I get my strength and stubborness from.)
We have some news at our house. Andrea and Eric are engaged. No date set yet. He is a great guy and I know he will take good care of her.Mom is doing well- getting out to activities more. It seems she likes Bingo, horse racing and gambling.
I have some medical issues that I am dealing with and hopefully they will all turn out okay. Put in a good word for me with the man upstairs.
Still cleaning out Doty Street and want to get that sold ASAP. Boy were you a pack rat.
We'll take care of mom for you. Love you and miss you!!!
Love,
Joanne

Hi Dad,
It's been a while since I wrote to you. Lot's have been going on. John asked Hannah to marry him and she said yes ! They plan on getting married Sept. 12, 2009. Hannah and John asked if they could use your topping from your wedding cake for their's. They feel that this will be a part of you at their wedding.
It's been a year since you passed away and it hurts as much now as it did on that day. I will never forget that day as long as I live. I miss you so much. I miss calling you for your words of wisdom.
Ma is doing good. She's been doing a lot of activities at Waltham Crossing (although she dosen't remember) she goes to exercise, the music activites and she's winning at Bingo & horse racing. Did you know she was a gambler?
She misses you so much. When we take her to the cemetary to see you she cries and tells us how much she misses you. We all do Dad. It's not the same.
Well you have a great Thanks giving with Steve, Mr. Passanisi, Jack, Eleanor, the Gonzalez's and everyone else up there. Make sure Steve doesn't fall alseep in the chair. :)
I love you and miss you,
Diane (your little moog)

Hi Dad,
It's hard to believe it will be a year tomorrow that you left us. I miss you so much. The past year has been so hard without you or Steve to talk to. Steve misses you too. He's doing better but still can't walk. I really wonder if he'll ever be home.
We're trying to take care of Ma as best we can. Her memory isn't good. Auntie Elaine helps with Ma's appointments.
Please watch over us all. I may be looking for a part time job on the weekends. Please give me a sign for something good.
Love you Dad.
Cindy

Cindi, Diane & Joanne:
I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing, which I only learned of in July when Cindi wrote in my dad's guest book. He suffered a long and difficult battle with pancreatic cancer and I understand the void you guys share because I know it too well. There is so much for us to catch up on and I would love it if you would call when you are at your mom's - even a coffee some day.
How sad at the way things have changed in our lives, I have had my own battles which I'll tell you about hopefully in person someday, but it has given me a desire to reconnect with people that were such an important part of our childhoood
Your dad was a wonderful person, and I have many, many fond memories of him. He is in my prayers as is your mom; I know how hard it is for them. My parents too have been married for 58 years this year. Please be in touch.
Love, Debbie

Dad,
Happy Birthday 1 day late. I thought about you a lot yesterday. Miss you! Hope you had a great celebration with everyone there. Keeping our eye on Ma for you. She's becoming quite independent on her own. You would be so proud of her.
Love you and Miss you

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
It doesn't seem right having to write that to you. I always would call you on your birthday. Things will never be the same. There is still the huge hole in my heart that was there the day you left us. I will never forget that and it will always make me cry when I tell people the story. Dad, you were a very special person. Not only as a dad but as a husband, brother, grandpa, uncle and friend. I have not heard one bad word spoken about you from anyone I have talked to about you passing away.
I went to see Ma yesterday and she seems to be being OK. She was lying down when Chrissy and I got there, but she got up and went for a short walk with us. She's doing good with the walker. Please keep an eye on her, especially when we are not there with her. She misses you (as all of us do) so much. She is lost without you.
Well I have to get going. I need to work out. I've been gaining a few pounds since Johnny's been on days. He's a great cook.
Love you and miss you more every day .
Love,
Diane

Happy Birthday Dad. It doesn't seem right that you're not here. We all miss you so much. I miss just talking with you about how Steve is doing and I miss all your good advice.
Hope you have a great birthday with everyone. MISS YOU.

Dad,
We had to bring mom to the hospital last night. She is very unsteady on her feet and has a some shaking in her hands. They are doing some tests to see what is going on. She had to stay overnight and may have to tonight. She is really scared and worried and misses you a lot. Please keep an eye on her so she gets through this. Miss you and love you!!!

Happy Father's Day Dad. It just doesn't feel like Father's Day without you. You were such a wonderful Dad. Always let us make our own decision with your guidance. I'm going to the cemetary today to see you on my way to visit Steve.
Jeff and I took Ma out to Friendly's last night. She misses you so much as we all do. Every time she says she misses "My Harry" it breaks my heart. It also makes me realize how much you two loved each other.
Please watch over Ma and the rest of us. Miss you so much.
Love,
Cindy

Dad,
Tomorrow is the first Father's Day without you. I'm having a real tough time with it and also the fact that Steve is not here for the girls. I guess I just have to remember what an awesome dad you were and how you always put everyone elses needs above yours. What a role model you were - the best dad anyone could have. I miss you so much and love you.
Happy Father's Day Dad.
Love ,
Joanne

Hi Dad,
Tomorrow is Father's Day and I won't be able to get to the cemetary to see you. I do want you to know that I am thinking of you and wish you were still here with us. It still doesn't feel right going to see Ma without seeing you. I am going to see Ma next Friday and will bring her to see you then. Dad, I thought that it may get a little easier with each day that past since you've been gone but it's not. It's been 7 months and it's still hard for me as it was the day you left us. I miss you so much.
Ma is doing OK. She is getting out more and doing things at Waltham Crossing. You would be very proud of her.
Dad, please watch over her and all of us. We still need your guidance and wisdom.
I miss you and love you so much.
Love,
Diane

What can I say but, Cindy, Joanne, Diane, you have the best of the best for parents. I still remember the summer I came and we had puppet shows and I learned pop was the same as soda. I visited Grandma and we went to the Armenian picnic. I have always cherished those times. If only they were more often and longer. I miss all of you. Uncle Harry was always the responsible son, brother, husband, father. I wish I could have spent more time with him. I think he had a lot to teach and share. I send my love to Aunt Margurite. I would like to stay in touch with you. Every moment with your family has been appreciated and cherished. You have been blessed with your parents. And I have been blessed with my Uncle and Aunt. My love to you all. Leslie

Dad,
As everyone before has said we spent a good majority of Sunday afternoon cleaning the basement out. Now I know where I get it from.
We've been joking as to where you are hiding the treasure , but we did find it on Sunday. Like everyone said it was the letters you wrote to ma. Dad you and ma had so much love for each other. A real special love. I hope that each of your grand children who read those letters took away something about you that they may not have known. I really got emotional when I started reading one so I still haven't read them yet, but I definately will the next time we are there.
Last Friday Joanne, Ma & I went to see you at the cemetary. I am hoping that once the warmer weather comes that I can get to plant some flowers for you.
I miss you so much. I am always thinking about you.
Love you Dad,
Diane

Hi Dad,
As Joanne and Lynne said, we were cleaning out the house Sunday. I had another commitment first so I came in on the end. I was there when the letters you wrote to Ma were found. They really brought tears to our eyes. You and Ma loved each other so much. It made me appreciate Steve more even though he's not home with me which has been difficult lately.
I miss you so much.
Love,
Cindy

Dad,
Wanted to let you know we (your grandchildren, daughters and son in law ) cleaned out the cellar yesterday. We filled a dumpster in about 4 hours. Boy were you a pack rat. Now I know where I get it from. We found some treasures, including some beautiful letters you wrote to ma right after you got married and you were in the Air Force. Ma is doing well. We are watching her for you. Miss you so much and think about you everyday.
Love,
Joanne

Grandpa,
Today we did a little (actually, a lot) cleaning out of your house: especially the basement. First off, I'd like to say you and grandma are quite the pack-rats! haha.
But what I loved most about today was the range of emotions we all found. Seeing and hearing mom and Auntie Diane and Auntie Cindy laughing and remembering certain things they found put a smile on my face. It also somehow made me feel closer to you and grandma... you never know how many memories one little thing can really hold.
But I think what everyone loved the most were the letters we found that you wrote to grandma when you were training and such for the air force. You loved her so much and we knew that but the letters really emphasized what an amazing bond you two had. It warmed my heart reading some of those letters and I think it really helped us down here connect a little more to each other as well as to you.
I guess this means we finally found the treasure you were hiding... thanks grandpa. I love you and I miss you so much.
all my love,
your baby granddaughter

I only met you once when I was a small child. I remember your kindness still today. My mother always spoke fondly of her memories of you and your family. God Bless.

I know it has been a while since I wrote but I think about you every day. Mom is doing okay. I'm taking her to the dentist on Friday. She seems happy and is getting out more and participating in activities even though she doesn't remember doing any of them. We are all keeping an eye on her for you. Miss you so much.
Love,

Hi Dad,
It's Easter today. I missed you coming over. So did the dogs. I had Ma over for dinner-Jeff cooked a ham. I took her to see Steve after that. She did fine. Steve cried at first. He hasn't seen her for so long. He always asks me about you. I still don't know if he really understands you're not here with us.
Linda starts her new job tomorrow. She likes it in Maryland.
I think about you every day and miss you so much. Watch over us, especially Ma. Say hi to Steve's parents, the Miley's and Steve and Tom. Oh yeah, Cupcake, too.
Love, Cindy

Hi Dad,
I just wanted to let you know that not 5 mins. after I sent you my last message, the phone rang with a job opportuinity. I went on the interview that Monday and I started the job this Monday. Thanks for helping me on that. I was getting a little nervous.
Now I just have to get myself into the routine and feel comfortable with it. I'm sure that will take a week or so.
Dad, I miss you so much. It still feels funny going to Waltham and not seeing you.
Love you so much.
Happy Easter,
Love,
Diane

Dear Cindy and Family,
I remember your father way back when we were in Sunday School at St. James. Your Dad was one of the most kind and gentle people I have ever known. He had the best smile. Those sleepovers at your house in Waltham are unforgettable and I remember the best thing about them was how warm your family made me feel. Sitting in your tv room and watching tv until it was time to go to bed. I lost my Dad in April of 06 and it's not the same without them. They are together and watching over us. Cherish our mothers/family everyday. God Bless you and your family!

Hi Dad,
Sorry I haven't talk to you in a while but a lot is going with my job...or should I say lack of job. My company got bought out by another company and they told me on Valentines Day that it was my last day. I am currently working for them as a contractor but that will soon end at the beginning of April. So I have been searching for a new job in hopes that I can say "SEE YA" before they get to.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't talk to you either on my way to or from work, sitting watching TV or anytime of the day. It's so tough now because you are no longer just a phone call away.
We're going down to Doty Street on Saturday to do more cleaning and to see Ma, and we're planning to go to the cemetary to see you also.
Dad please keep your eye on Ma, she seems to be so lonely and lost without you. (like all of us).
I miss you so much.
Love,
Your little moog!

Dad
Just wanted to let you know how much you are missed. We have been cleaning out the house and we discovered you guys never threw anything out. We have found some treasures there and are still exploring.
I took ma to the doctors just for a check up. She is doing okay but needs to gain some weight. Her memory is getting worse but she misses you so much. We are keeping an eye on her for you. Wish you were here.
Love you and miss you a lot.
