Papa,
I love you and miss you so much! You were a loving grandpa to me and Cadie and the only Daddy I ever had. The years I spent with you were the best years of my life. If you were here right now I know you would wipe away my tears and tell me there's no use in crying over spilled milk. But to me and everyone in our famiy you're way more than that. Cadie knows you're in Heaven now with her little brother and it was your time to look after him. I wish I could have done more for you like you did for me. I love you and thank you for giving me a wonderful childhood. Love Jo and Cadie
To the whole family-
I just wanted to say I miss spending time with everyone and I wish we could have all been closer. I love you all and you will always be my family no matter what. Papa brought us together as a family and built it up the way he seen fit. He would have wanted us all to be loving and respectful towards each other. I love you guys very much and please feel free to call anytime for any reason, 314-374-3443.
