8 years and still can recall every moment from the phone call that you were found unconscious and rushed to the hospital. Moments of those weeks in the hospital and the meetings with the Doctors and especially the last meeting. Sitting alone with all the Doctors as they described in detail things you just don't want to hear or have to envision and just coming to the point that I had to get up from the discussion and just leave the room and walk to his bedside in tears and disbelief that there were going to be the last moments and the machines and monitors would be turned off and told to brace myself as it could be instantly or a few hours until you passed and you were strong and stubborn to the very end and I love you for it as it helped ease the pain of knowing you would be passing on and preparing me for that moment. It wasn't until 4 days after the decision to take you off life support that I saw your chest rise and fall for the last time. I walked to you and caressed your arm and kissed your forehead and just sat and looked at you. The next few days were a blur and lots of running around for arrangements etc. But I took comfort in knowing you were back again with my brother, your mom, dad and sister and everyone else whom you loved and were no longer with us. I don't know how I would have made it though at that time without Carl and now I can only think of just how precious each day really is as he is in heaven with you too now :-( Love and miss you dearly Dad xoxoxo ((HUGS)) to heaven.

Happy Birthday Dad!!! or what would have been # 58. You are always in my heart and thoughts. I miss you soooo much. I wish you had more time with us when we were younger. There is so much that was never said and loosing you is the worst pain I have ever had to deal with, it is going to take a long time to stop hurting. I hope you are at peace and you will never be forgotten. You were a great father and always did what you could for us.

I love you always,

To My Dearest Friends and Family:
There are some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know, that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above
where there are no more tears or sadness, there is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you, when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly, as part of My big plan
there's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things, He wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you, every day and week and year
and when you're sad, I'm standing there to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you, in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth and all those loving years
because you're only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you, of all that God has planned
but if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now, than I ever was before
And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you; I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
but together we can do it, taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World, so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody, who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go
When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face
that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free
remember you're not going; you are coming here to me
And I will always love you from that land way up above
We’ll be in touch again soon, P.S. God sends His Love
