Aunt Shirley, Kriss & I send our love and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
To my cousins, We are sorry for your loss. But as adults, we all have been very fortunate to have two of the best fathers as role models for us as we face the day to day challenges of being parents. As I have found out, trust me, he may be gone from this earth, but you will find he will be with you everyday. It's good to know the Goldbach brothers are back together again and are in peace.
Our love to you all, Rick, Kriss and boys.

Dear Mom,
I think you know how I feel about Dad, I have so many fond memories of him that I can't put it all into words. I love him like my own Dad. He never said a bad word about anyone and always complimented me and our family. I guess it all goes back to that first Christmas tree from the market-I went home and told my mom, you should see this tree Don's dad brought home and laughed about it, but I will never forget how beautiful that tree was when he was done(just like him). He helped us with everyone of our homes and gave so much of his time to us and to the boys and they will always remember those times, they still talk about going to the auction and buying cheese curds, and picking grocery bags full of green beans in Springville. He always made time for them and they loved it. Dad helped me put some paneling up in Eden and it broke in half and we laughed, I can still hear him laughing. When Dad had his accident we were so scared we were going to lose him, we all prayed so hard for him and he recovered so remarkably and we were so thankful. He was so happy when we came to visit, he would whistle joyfully, he was so proud when we came to visit you in Florida, he truly enjoyed life. We will all miss him dearly. Life is so precious and time goes too fast. I hope you can come and visit us in NC and spend time with us and the kids, we would love it.
We Love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Don and Judy
