Hi Dad , another beautiful Sunday. Having hot dry weather like the year we moved here.Not much to write that is different than the last time I wrote. Alex came in last weekend for 3 days,Always good to see her but hard for her to leave.Life is lots quieter with family not coming in as much .Lit Cammie is busty now in football and competition cheerleading.She brought in one of her trophies she got last week. We celebrated Alex birthday with family at Benihana this week. Great time together. Praying for the family's salvation. Love and miss you.

Morning Dad, Ws suppose to have family in today but Connie not well and due storms and or rain. Wen t over to put flowers on your space and very few were decorated.Perhaps I was too early in the week. Had a good trip to Germantown for flowers for Mom and Dad .Went to eat with Tina and Tonya,Short visit but good to see family,Dont have much going on with family anymore,Everyone busy with their own.Hopefully Connie can come in tomorrow. She is not well. Worried me so much. Goint to listen to Church the way you knew nothing about.
Love you dad, Miss you all the time.

Good morning Dad Having such hot weather so soon in the year,Dont know why my messages havent gotten to you but you know how we feel about you, Time to be going to germantown as soon as Deanna can take me to mom and dad grave,I think I need to give that part up but we dont have anyone to take care of the graves, Dont get to Ky much since I dont drive and no one comes down, Lots of ups and down n the family.Right now Connie has a broken arm,Alex was just in such a pleasure when she and the family come around,Going to therapy today to get my shoulder worked on. Keep watch over our family we are in need of it.
Love you dearly

Hi Dad. feeling guilty not doing over to check on things but not feeling up to par.The weather is like me up and down.Pretty day on Good Friday. Had a plumber in to install garbage disposal, He did a couple little things and will come back and take care of some outside problems.Sometimes I wonder if I should stay here but a little late to figure that one out,Deanna took Cammie to Fl to visit Alex .They had so much fun but she has gotten sick since back.Planning on Easter dinner Sunday. Things about the same at church .I may give up the nursery but if I do I will still go and sit in there with someone.Not much going on now but spring weather will be here soon. We are all doing ok, just day by day thing. MIss you so much.I know you are in good Hands.
Love form the family Im sure.

Day is about over ,Pretty day I had Cammie in here overnight and went to church with me .We stopped at Skyline for lunchWanted to go over to Rest Haven but then I thought you are more here than there,For some reason Erik being gone really effected Alex today.She called crying so hard I really could understand her,Said she would call tomorrow.
Look over our family dad it needs so much help, more spiritual than anything.
Signing off for now until then Love you.

Good morning Charles, Good Friday today, Had to have someone do the communion for me tonight because driving after dark you know. This winter has been rough on the is old body,Still very weak and shaky.Guess being old has something to do with it.Things are pretty much a mess here,Lit Al is in the hospital again because of her allergies,She will be coming in for a visit in a few days

February 28, 2022

Hi Dad , very tired I have been on the go all day.Such a pretty day Started out getting my oil changed,then went and got a car wash, Stop at Wendys bought me a burger coke and frosty,Sat at the cemetery and ate,The weather is so much different the 8 yrs ago.Lit Cam called me "facetime" telling me she had lost another tooth .You think you would be able to facetime? Thats a word you didnt know Bought flower for mom and dad and just finished making them upHope to get someone to take me up there when its time, Going to sit and relax now,Know you are loved.
Love you Murry

February 26, 2022

Hi Dad,time is swiftly passing ,You should see Bruce Earl by now,They say time heals that may be so in some instances but not with the heart. I did go back to church last Sunday and plan to tomorrow also,Had a good evening yesterday, Was so worried about Connie and really didnt think she would make it in here.We always like to be together on the 25th.Deanna came also ,Evan cooked our meal which was so nice of him ,Have to say that because I found out he reads these messages, He is taking such good care of Connie and lit Cam .I probably will be saying hi tomorrow.Love you so much.

Mary Compton

February 16, 2022

February 12, 2022

Good morning Charles, Just reading my memories on this day 8yrs ago,You came home from the hospital and couldnt get an answer from the Dr on your biopsy. I dont remember if we had snow then but we have had enough this pass week.I went over to Rest Haven yesterday to take off the Christmas wreath and brought you a new flag and a beautiful red rose for Valentine day.Wish I could say everything is better here but Connie has been real sick. I pray the cancer has been taken care of.Havent been to church in awhile covid ,cancer and just plain cold weather ,Hopefully I will go the weather is better.Life is about the same ups and downs but making it ok.You are in our thoughts always.Love you so much.

Hi Dad Today was a pretty day and I felt better so I decided to take the wreath over to you,They had already decorated the graves of people who buy from them.I like to put mine on so I can do it specially for you,As I cleared the leaves away from our marker I realized how soon My body will be there with you but not my spirit. Cams birthday is soon and then Christmas Alex may come in from Fl for Cams birthday She loves her so much,Connie has been suffering so much illnesses this year but doing better.

Hi Dad Its Christmas again Waiting on Connie , Evan Deanna and Cammie to come for dinner.Alex is in Fla It is such a pretty day ,Went over for a visit this week cleaned up your wreath,Connie and Cammie have been sick and we didnt have Christmas eve this year Reminds me of when mom died we had to postpone Christmas,I see Deanna pulling in now so I will say bye for now and know I love you

Connie Stuckert

November 12, 2019

Hey Dad. It's Connie.
It's been a long while. That doesn't mean I don't think about you.
Today is Veteran's Day. I wish you were here wearing your Korea cap standing in line at Golden Corral to accept your free dinner for being a veteran, all of you being heroes.
I miss you and Jeff so terribly much. It hasn't gotten easier with time.
Cam is in preschool now. You would have loved her so much. A few days ago, I was reading to her from the Big Green Book of Fairy Tales that you used to read to me.
Do you remember the time when you and I were coloring in a Quick Draw McDraw coloring book and I got so upset because I thought you colored BobbaLouie wrong?
A 4 year old having a hissy fit. Sounds familiar now that Ev and I have Cam. But honestly, she is a godsend.
Those memories of you and me are what keep you alive to me.
But today is Veteran's Day.
I am eternally grateful to all our Armed Forces.
But when I think about you, fresh out of high school, going into a war halfway around the world; it breaks my heart and sickens my stomach just thinking about how terrified you had to have been.
Fighting the enemy is something so frightening and intense that no one except someone who was also there could possibly know and identify with. I'm so sorry you had to be a part of that Dad.
I've said it before but it is worth saying again. I salute you and all other servicemen for your service.
And I salute you for being the best Dad. I love you more than I can put into words with feelings I cannot begin to express.
I will forever love you.
Connie

Connie Stuckert

February 26, 2019

Dear Dad,

I can't believe that it has been five years since you left us. Sometimes, it does feel that the intensity of the pain has eased a little, but then a phrase, thought, or a memory pops in to my head and I start to fall apart. Losing you and Jeff so close together really brought me to my knees. I have cried and cried and cried and I don't think I will ever recover until the day I die.

I loved you both so very much. I miss you both so very much.

I happened to read something today that really hit home. I don't know the author, but it went like this - "It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home."

I know that a huge chunk of my heard died with you. Dad, I am so grateful that at least I was able to tell you goodbye, unlike with Jeff which bothers me to this day.

I pray and hope that you were able to hear me when I poured out my heart to you the night before you passed. I myself will remember those last words always.

I am so grateful that you were my dad and that together we shared a special closeness.

I am so glad that you found mom, because the two of you were made for each other.

It was never Mary without Charles, or Charles without Mary. Together the two of you were the best parents any child could ask for. I was so so very lucky.

On my desk I keep a picture of you holding me when I was about five days old. You are squatting in the front yard at Wasson. The thing I love the most about that picture is the great big smile on your face.

Dad you made my life beautiful and ever so happy. The only problem is that I loved you so much, and that makes it hurt so bad.

I will miss you and Love You forever.

I really hope that there is a Heaven and that I can see you again.

I love you Dad. Once again - I must say goodbye.

Lovingly Yours,

Connie

sorry Evan was left out he was taking the picture

Hi Dad cant believe I havent written in quiet awhile.Not because I dont think of you/Last night I dreamed about you and was so real.I would like to think your presence was with me.Had a beautiful day with Deanna and Pam at Olive Garden on Beechmont.hadnt seen her in such a long time.Deanna is improving from her surgery but slowly. Alex is flying in again and Deanna, Alex , Cammie and myself are going to the Smokies for only 4 days.A week from today Deanna and I are going up to Flemingsburg for the Goodwin reunion,Cant ever go that someone says how they miss you.Tomorrow is church day again and this Thursday the pastor is coming for lunch .He is trying to visit everyone, I suppose so he can get to know us betterMargo sold her house and I met the lady that moved in,Wont say it out loud but I think they are older , she has white hair.lol.Guess I should grab a bite to eat. If you have any pull up there can you direct Sydney in the right path? Life as we knew it is gone.

Hi Dad , such a dismal day rain for days,Went out to Connie yesterday she was at the Dr but got to spend time with Evan and Cammie. Love that baby so much.Dont know why but today is a hard day for some reason, thinking of our life as a family .Guess that's why I feel like it.Guess we will have dinner here Sunday but don't know if its going to be dry enough for Cammie to hunt for eggs outside.Alex is still in Fl hope she doesn't decide to live there.Guess I don't have much to say except I love you
Mary

February 23, 2018

Four year ago I rushed to the hospital the Dr said you were in trouble remembering.You later recovered from the fog you were in. Had a lot of company I know you were tired but you did give us a great laugh at something you said.We still laugh at it.That was the day we had to send you to Hospice which you fought until Evan told you for 3 days and that was ok.That was the last decent day you had.Evan was right you could leave in 3 days, but it wasnt to be at your earthly home.Your absence doesnt get any easier.Love from your family.We planon getting together on Sunday.Love you Mary

February 20, 2018

Hi Dad. Church had the musical this morning and it was so beautiful. Sitting all alone in my pew make me sad but don't want to give up our seat as yet. 'We had Cammie birthday this week and she was such a happy girl .Life will change for me and the family this week but pray its will all go well .When did life gets so complicated ? I often say glad you aren't here to endure some of the pain .Alex is moving to Fla hopefully for a short time , but who knows. I miss our family the way it was, so few of us now. Guess I am just feeling a little sad today, Sue has now been gone 1 year, So sorry for Wanda and the girls ,Alex and Deanna are out shopping and will be home soon.Until then---Love Mary

Hi Dad winter seems to be in a hurry to get here, so not ready for it.Old bones dont like cold weather. Sat and ate a Med frosty with you last week.The wind was so strong I didnt get out of the car Your flag was waving so pretty in the breeze.We have Thanksgiving in 2 days and wonder if the family will be together, seems like most are not well but hopefully we can make it.Cammie is coming in tomorrow a day early if she isnt sick.Such a precious girl and so good, no terrible 2 yet She will be 3 next month.We are having some trying times now but hopefully it will work out with a lot of prayers and love for each other.Connie is to have another surgery in a few days.Nancy is still not well from her surgery Alex is wanting me and her to fly down and see her. Trying to tell her that would not be an easy task. Me flying and Dubby traveling all that ways to the airport. Just trusting she will improve and make it up her next spring. Well dad thats about it lonely without you sitting her sleeping.Dark comes so early makes for a long night.Could use some help if you have any inside pull Love you dad

Cammie, Alex .Deanna, Mary

October 10, 2017

Hi Dad. cant believe autumn is here so soon,We had the Goodwin reunion in Flemingsburg last weekend. Lot of people missing.Took little Cammie with us and Deanna and Alex got her in the pool to swim.She is petrified of taking a bath but did well in the pool.I know I keep saying how much you would love her but she is such a loving kid.Life as we knew it has drastically changed.Its a sad life.Having Alex living here helps fill the void.Went to get my drivers license today good for another 4 years hope I dont expire before they do.Patricia called today and she is getting like you, subject to falls,She checks in rather regularly which is kind of her.Dont know how you slipped away so fast but glad you didnt linger with cancer.Sort of weird,Jeff dies suddenly Erik taken off life support and you, How quickly you all were gone.Poor Nancy is really having it rough, feel so bad for her. Love you Mary

Hi Dad was out yesterday to pick up supplies for our banquet and since I was in the area I sopped in. It was raining all day so I just sat in the car and tried calling Connie for her birthday, Sydney answered , Connie was still in bed, Her phone was acting up so never got to talk to her all day.Too many of our church people are having health problems, I thank God Im as healthy as I am, but one day I will be joining you, until then Dad I love and miss you

Good morning dad, I wish I knew what happened to all my messages to you fro Aug-Dec.Its snowing today but not as cold as when you left us. Just wanted to ask "have you seen Linda Lewis yet?" She left us this morning after a long struggle with cancer.So glad you didnt suffer as long as she did. Tomorrow is when you had your scope at Christ and we thought everything was alright. but it is now. Alex moved in with me dont know for how long, but we need to get her cat penciled in with what I have already.Think I should give them all back to Deanna?She is still capturing cats and taking them in to her home.Tomorrow is the last day she will keep K1 open, The end to another era.I doing ok,sad alot but ok. Love you

Friday 2/26/2016 4:30 am
There was a man I used to know, he had dark brown eyes and gray hair and a big ole pot belly that was hard to the touch,his hands were big and his toes would all bend together in one directon. H wasn't a necessarily a gifted man nor did he have a career in which made him rich. He didn't cook, do laundry-merely went to work, home and church on Sundays,He would sometimes fall asleep at church in his chair while waiting to usher the aisle.He founght in Kores while a teen but didn't talked about it much. Every veterans day he would wait for his free dinner no matter how long the wait at Golden Corral. Before retirement, he woke every morning at 3:30am and would spend hours putting in his hard contacts so he didn't have to wear glasses. He styled his hair the same way every day-the "Elvis " look I called it, He had a small mirror with a crack on the back covered with a strip of tape. He had a large book about Korea he kept in his bathroom that he was always reading . He didn't always wear his seatbelt. He had 2 jokes that weren't really funny but he loved to tell: "six sick sheep" and the other oneabout a tooth pick and a glass of water. He loved to weat home cooked food but loved to super size his Wendys if grandma wasn't there. We took long walks together on the weekendsand he would always walk to the bridge. We held hands most of the way.He watched westerns during the day but never managed to stay awake for the whole thing,one time I threw a cracker in his mouth while he snored. ON Valentine day each year , he would drive over candy for me and my mom cuz he wanted all his girls to feel special that day.He never cussed, drank alcohol. Sometimes grandma would call him up chuck to make us kids laugh-he didn't get the joke.He loved taking the bus and talk to complete strangers. Strangers often became his friend no matter the age difference. He tried computer classes and bought a laptop but never quiet conquer the technological world. He liked bingo at the seniors and sometimes he would win if someone woke him to tell him he bingo, He like the ymca and made friend there. He slept on the left side of the bed. He didn't want the cats sleeping in his room at night but later years became good friend with Thomas O'Malley and his adventures out doors. He walked with a cane and refused a walker he didn't want to show his age. He was very emotional with babies and certain memories made him cry on the spot.He loved his kids, he loved his wife. I'll always love the man I knew,my grandpa who was sweeter than apple surple

February 25, 2016
