Dad
I can not believe it´s been 12 years. A lot has happened since you physically left us. But I know you know everything. I feel your presence regularly, especially when I really need it. I know you are now with Greg. That makes me happy but we are all so sad as we miss you both, and Mom, terribly. Please take good care of each other and have your 5:00 martini together.
Love you to the moon. Mace.

DEAR DAD
DON'T KNOW WHO THAT WAS WHO PUT THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE IN BUT GLAD SHE DID. BUSY WORKING YESTERDAY AND SHE REMINDED ME I WANTED TO WRITE TO YOU YESTERDAY. WHAT IS THAT SAYING, "LIFE GOES ON". THEY JUST DIDN'T TELL YOU NOT IN THE SAME WAY ONCE YOUR PARENTS HAVE PASSED. NOT AT ALL. COULD USE A GOOD TALK WITH YOU ONCE IN A WHILE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU WHAT IS THE SECRET TO LIVE FROM 63 TO 90 AND BE AS HAPPY AS YOU WERE. I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR MYSELF.
LOVE YOU, GREG

DEAR DAD I RAN INTO A LITTLE PROBLEM A FEW MONTHS AGO AND FOR A WHILE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE JOINING YOU AND MOM VERY SOON. NOT THAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO BAD SINCE I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH, BUT MAYBE BEING AROUND HERE ON EARTH A FEW MORE YEARS TO ENJOY MY FAMILY WOULD NOT BE A BAD IDEA EITHER. AFTER ALL, YOU HAVE NEARLY THIRTY YEARS ON ME. WELL, IT HASN'T BEEN EASY AND THERE STILL IS A LITTLE WAYS TO GO. IT IS JUST THE CONSTANT PAIN. I KNOW IT WILL LET UP SOON. I WONDER WHAT WORDS YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO GET THRU THIS. I KNOW THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING. RIGHT NOW I TOUCH YOURS AND MOM'S PICUTRE EVERY DAY AS I LEAVE FOR WORK AND I FEEL BETTER IMMEDIATELY. I WILL COME BACK WHEN ALL THE TREATMENT IS OVER AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. LOVE YOU GREG

Dear Dad,
Three years ago today was the saddest day of my life. Most people say that time heals all wounds but I disagree. Loss isn't healed by time. The pain might not be as acute, but the sorrow will always be with me. I miss you so much. During difficult times, I had you to lean on. You were always there for me, for all of us. Since you've been gone, I realize more than ever how remarkable you were. I wish I had more of your strength and spirit in me. Now instead of being able to talk with you, I ask myself, "What would Dad say or what would Dad do?" No matter what the advice, there was always encouragement. I will visit you tomorrow and we'll talk some more. Love, Dude

Dear Dad
It is coming up to 3 years and I definitely am thinking about you more each day. I am not quite sure why, maybe it is because I am finding out how hard life is as I am getting older and am more amazed at how you handled it so well. We all miss you very much. I am going to be working this Saturday, your third anniversary, so I wanted to get this message in a little early. I know you won't mind. Love, Greg

Dear Dad
You don't know how difficult it is for me to come to this site, however, I am so glad it is here. Two years and my tears still flow so easily. We all miss you terribly. You get us through every day and your voice, comfortably, is always in my head. You did so much for so many years with no one to fall back onto. I am so happy that we, and especially my sisters, were able to give back to you in the end. I wish my grandchildren could have known you. Be sure, I will tell them all about you. Rest and be in peace. Love, Greg

Hi Dad,
Everyone says that loss gets easier with time. I don't find that to be so. I miss you in a deeper way than I did the day you passed out of our lives. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to talk with you about so many things. You were always in my court no matter what the situation. You were my rock! In a way I'm glad you aren't here to see all that's going on in the world. How I miss our talks about world events, and everything else under the sun. Wherever you are, I hope you can still 'hear' us when we think about you or write to you. Some people should be allowed to live forever and you are one of them. I needed your counsel so badly this week and the encouragement you always gave me. I miss you so much it hurts. Dude
January 23, 2010
Hey Dad
Just sitting here thinking about you. Just a regular day, no special occasion, but wanted you to know that I was thinking about you...as always.
I still miss you terribly. its so hard to comprehend that you have been gone 1 1/2 yrs. i still forget sometimes and want to pick up the phone just to hear your voice and your neverending encouragement.
we are all doing well except that we have a big empty space that you filled in such a grand way.
i love you so much. Mace.

Dear Dad
Meaning to get back to you much sooner.Not that I forgot just waiting for a time that I was alone and had a good long time to myself. Robin and I are married and very happy. Boy,does it feel good to come home every night. Going down to Dallas next week to celebrate Christmas with Sue, Stacey, Kevin, Terry and friends. I cannot tell you how much we are looking forward to be with them. This year has been tough but remembering you has made it a lot easier. It's just there is this deep burning inside missing you that gets me sometime. I hope it never goes away.
Love, Greg

Dear Dad,
Hard to believe that today is the one year anniversary of your passing. In some ways, its been the longest year of my life and in other ways, its seems like I was just laughing with you about something.
There isn't a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of you. I miss you so so much and it seems to just get stronger as time goes on. What I wouldn't give for more time with you.
Wanted to let you know that Greg and Robin just got in and the family, Mehret, Bill and your pal, Terry, are coming to visit with you. We've also arranged a nice surprise that I think you will like - as I know you will be with us.
I love you so much Dad. Always, Mace.
June 24, 2009
Hi Dad,
I hope you enjoyed our visit on Sunday. We didn't know whether to bring a martini or a bloomin' onion. We went for the martini as we thought it might be your preference. I even brought Neuman by later that day to visit with you. It was hard to believe that this time last year, you were with us. Saying I miss you is such an understatement. I feel your presence in so many places and sometimes at the strangest times. I wish I had talked to about more things I wish I knew now. I want to hear that "Hello da dude' again. Going to Greg and Robin's wedding next week. I know it makes you happy to know how happy he is. I'll give a toast from you. Love you more than I can express, Dude.

To the Magee Family,
Cindy Allen was, is, my sister and loved your family very much. I don't know if you know she died on April 20th. I know losing Mr. Magee had alot to do with her passing. My name is Julie and I wish the best for your family and I miss Cindy more than you can imagine. She would call me everyday on her way to see your mom and dad, it was 10:30 my time and 9:30 your time. My number is 305-664-5053 and would really appreciate if you could call me sometime so I can get some kind of "stories" about the good times they had. I'm coming to Texas on July 2-9th to get her personal belongings. I went to the service when she passed. Cindy had a heart of GOLD. Take care, Julie Fedyk

Dear Dad
Robin and I were cleaning out the house the other day and I saw you everywhere. At the door greeting us when we arrived, standing at the counter mixing our 5 o'clock martini, cooking at the grill and lying on the couch next to us watching tv. I will never forget the last hour long talk we had on the backyard patio the last time I was down and saw you alive. Your love and support was unwavering. P.S. Terry was wrong, Romo choked.
All my love, Greg

Dear Mr. Magee,
I watched "Deal or no Deal" tonight and thought of you often. It was an exciting game tonight. I know we would have talked about it in the morning. I miss you alot.

Hi Papa-
Well, we are finishing up the last minute things and getting ready to head down there. Our flight gets in at 6:36pm. This holiday season puts a whole new meaning to the term bitter/sweet. I can't wait to get down there and see everyone but another part of me does not want to go through this week without you there. The thought of not having you there carrying on with your Christmas cheers just makes me cry.
I want to tell you all about passing the bar and my job and about all the snow we got this past weekend and your great-grandson and my plans as an attorney and the list goes on and on. I know I can still tell you in my own way though and I know you'll be listening.
But the good news is that we will all be together and will remember all the memories of your Christmas spirit - from your eggnog to milk and cookies to your xmas attire to the lights and there will probably be mention of that damn candy cane and dreams of turning back the clock for that one moment. Oh Papa I love and miss you and am sending you a great big hug and lots of kisses.
HO HO HO!
Love,
EB

Lloyd,
I've been thinking about you quite a bit the past few days, especially since the NFL season started. You will be happy to know that the Cowboys are 2-0 having beat the Eagles on Monday Night Football this week. I remember you asking me every week last season if I thought Romo was the real deal and I'm here to tell you that so far this season he appears to be the real deal. Not sure if you already know all of the above or not but just in case.....guess I can imagine you being with your buddies up in heaven sitting around watching the game but not really sure. Also wanted you to know that watching the games aren't the same without you sitting in the same room sharing your thoughts on each and every play except when it was time for the tiny cat naps you would take.....really miss you Lloyd.
Also know that Stacey is missing you as well.....Terry

Dad,
I thought with time, my profound sadness would diminish. Instead, I find the hole in my heart gets larger. Some days, like today, the only thing that would bring me joy would be to have you here with all of us. You were the force in our family and without you, I wonder what our 'new normal' will become. Having you just a phone call or short ride away provided me with a sense of security and connectedness. I could always count on you to make me laugh or to look at lthe brighter side of things. Oh, how I miss you.

Hi Mr. Magee,
I spent a lot of yesterday talking about you with Stace. It was another difficult day for her...It would be a day that she and Terry would be going to breakfast with you...and if i were in town so would I. You are missed so so much. I used to hear amazing stories about what you said or did when I would speak to Stacey on Sundays, and now I instead hear how much she misses you. I just try to remind her how proud you would be of her and how she is taking care of things and especially how she continues to take care of MaSue. You left such a void but that is a small price for those left to pay after you brought so much to the lives of those who love you. I can't believe that next time i go to Dallas I will not see you. I just want you to know that we all speak of you often and love you more than ever. I also want you to know that I will always be here for Stacey as she tries to adapt to life without her adored Dad. Her birthday is coming up and that will be a very hard day without you. Love, always, Elissa

Hi Papa,
Well, where to begin. I guess I have been putting off actually submitting a posting b/c in a way it makes everything too real. So badly I want to just pick up the phone and call you to hear your voice and update you on the latest news from NJ. It is now time to start making plans for xmas and I'm reminded how some things will just never be the same. I know how fortunate I am to have had you there for 31 years but I still wish for just one more day. You know how hard good-byes have always been for me. I keep replaying our last visit in my mind - from the moment you came home to the morning I left.
Mom and I were down last month to visit which I know you know. We had a nice time with MaSue and talked about you often with a lot of remember when's - everyone misses you tons. We laughed talking about the kitchen chairs and that one flamingo and cried while reading the morning paper, at cocktail time and at dinner. We watched TV missing you next to us insisting that you weren't falling asleep. We missed you on each Tom Thumb run but I did make sure to make as many lights as possible :) Oh Papa, what I would give to have just one more day to hear your constant chatter. You really kept everyone and everything going and did not miss a beat.
For the update, I am thrilled to report that I have finished the bar exams and I have officially retired as a student - yes!! I started a new job last week and so far so good. I am working in a criminal court so I will have a lot of stories that I know you would enjoy. Nicholas was here this weekend and Papa you should see him go - he is walking and into everything. He is so beautiful and strong - remember when he was lifting your weights at 9 months so I'm sure you can image how he is growing.
Good night for now and I will keep visiting you in my thoughts and prayers.
I love you and I miss you,
Ebxoxo

Hey Dad,
Been thinking about you and missing you so much. Like Dude, what I wouldn't give to pick up the phone and hear "Hey Da Mace". I loved talking to you, and no matter what was going on, I always felt better and stronger with you around. I just don't feel that way anymore.
I'm trying to get back to "normal" but it just doesn't feel right. How can things be normal without you here? I miss you so much.
Mom is doing fine. We are all spoiling her, especially Cindy and Mehrit. Thank god for them - we did good picking those two, didn't we Dad?
And of course, I can't close without telling you that all of your finances are in order. I promise I'm taking good care of all of that.
I miss you and love you more than words can say.
With all my love forever,
Mace

Hi Dad,
Today wasn't a banner day. I always miss you but on some days you are all I think about. Today was one of those days. What I'd give to be able to pick up the phone and hear your voice and your greeting, "Hey da Dude!" I believe that your spirit is with us and I have to believe that you are watching over us or else I don't know if I could bear the loss. I miss you so very much. Love, Dude

Well Lloyd, it's only been a week but it's been a very long week without your voice, without seeing you, without your love for life.
You would be proud that I rode 64 miles this morning (just in case you were up there wondering).
We miss you and love Lloyd Magee!

Mr. Magee,
I cared with you/for you for 3 and 1/2 years. We did'nt have the typical employer/employee relationship. You treated me like one of the family. I admired you and respected you, more then you'll ever know. You taught me everything from intrest rates to how to buy a good steak. You're the kind of man you'll never forget, and always smile when thought about. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. Im a better person for it.
With much love,
Cindy Lu

Lloyd, I only met you a few times but was lucky enough to spend a little more time with you a few months ago. In just a few hours I understood why Stacey and Terry always used the word awesome to describe you. You were as full of life as any person I've ever met. I left feeling confident that you lived your entire life this way and passed it on to so many others - especially your family. Bless you and your family and keep singing that college fight song!

Terry and Stacey-
I absolutely love the picture of your Dad's smile! One can't help but smile when you see it. What a wonderful gift, a smile that lights up a life, even after his death.
Thank you for inviting me to be a participant in the celebration of his life. I know you and a multitude of friends and family will miss him desprately. I would have love to have known him personally. He seems like my kind of fella.
Lloyd, Bail ó Dhia ort. "Blessings of God on you."

Dad,
I have been having a really hard time writing this note and I finally realized there will never be enough words to describe what you meant to me. You were my world - the best Dad ever, the best supporter, the best advisor - just the best everything. I miss you so much.
Thank you for guiding me through my life and teaching me that the glass should always be viewed as half full. My vow to you is to take your incredibly positive outlook on life and make it my own. I miss you so much.
I know you would want to know this - the checkbooks are balanced, the balances are fine, the bills have been paid, and all of us promise to take really good care of Mom. I miss you so much.
I can't possibly say all I want to in one entry so I promise to write often. I miss you so much.
With all of my love forever,
Mace

Sitting here thinking about you,
I here you call my name,
sweetness sweetness
As I turn to see who's calling me
I see no one, only hear your voice.
A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.
An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.
A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.
Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
If I had my life to do over,
I'd have chosen you to be my dad
once more.
Even if it meant losing you again,
It's worth all the tears in the
world.
You were my sunshine when skies
were gray.
I loved you and honored you;
You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you,
Proud to be your little girl.
Your love was always pure;
You treated me as your own.
Your time seemed all too short and
I feel so alone.
What can I take from this?
My heart is completely crushed.
But nothing loved is ever lost -
And you are loved so much.

Lloyd,
You were my friend in a way that only you and I will ever understand.
You filled a void in my life that will forever be remembered. Fridays with Lloyd were awesome, the lunches and stories will never be forgotten and will always be treasured. You were one hell of a man and one hell of a friend.

Dad,
We all felt your presence at the celebration of life party yesterday in your honor. Lots of food, spirits, bagpipes, and of course, a lot of shared memories that made us all smile. In time, broken hearts will heal but I will miss you every day of my life. I have so much to thank you for but the greatest gift you gave me and all who love you was how to live and love life. I am so fortunate and so proud to have had you as my father. I love you, Dude

I have such wonderful memories of you and your family through what you have meant to my daughter Elissa since she and Stacey met as roommates at SMU years ago. You were the solid rock I depended upon to watch over her for me. You did that, and more, and I am forever grateful. My love and prayers are with you and all of your family.

You are the best surrogate Dad I could have ever hoped for. You and Mrs. Magee have been so wonderful to me over the years and I love you both so much. I especially thank you for giving the world Stacey who is the most amazing woman I know and the best friend I could have every hoped for. To Stacey and all the family....I share your sorrow and grief, and I will never forget your AMAZING Dad!
Love always, Elissa (or as he always called me Elise)
