Not sure what to say?

Granpa,
It has taken a while to realize how much of a role in my life. Without you life seems so different. Altough, I will always remember you as a great person and an awesome grandfather.I will miss you.
Zack

Dad,
It has been almost a month now and I am just now able to put into mere words how much I miss you every day. I was so moved by the many people who came to tell me about how you touched their lives and their many memories of you. You left such an amazing mark on this earth.

I will miss your voice at church, our conversations after Sunday dinners, your help with the dishes, our little chats on the phone, and our drives (even if you did tell me every turn to take!) You just...

Grandpa will forever be in my thoughts and memories. Im glad to have gotten to see him one last time before he passed as it has been hard not being able to visit as much. I have learned many family values from Grandpa and will continue to pass them on to my future generations. I love you Grandpa.

If one word could be used to describe Nick it would be "unwavering." He was steadfast in his love for family and home; his children, grandchildren and little Ally; in the principles he lived by - and taught by - (or should it be "by which"?) and unquestioning in his faith. I miss his presence, his helping hand; my proofreader (and reader). The way he faced his final illness is an inspiration and a source of comfort to me. Blessed repose Miklos. Your loving wife, Marilyn asok

Mali and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a very kind Man and I am so glad you all have so many wonderful memories to share about him. Your parents are the kind of Parents we all should have. Kind, Loving and Giving...
Thinking of all of you!

Dad...

And I've called you that for many years, since my own father passed the year I married your daughter and joined your family.

There's no doubt you were the partiarch of the Szabo clan, and I count myself blessed to be a part of it. Your fine example of how to be a husband and father served me well in my own father's absence.

You will truly be missed by all those who knew and loved you (who number many)... I will carry on the tradition of talking too much about...

Grandpa,
All of us grandkids will miss you greatly. I'll always remember you playing with us when we came over. We had so much fun together. I'll never forget what you taught Zack and me about lawn care whenever we were over mowing! I've always looked up to you as such a wise person and now i've heard it from other people who know you. Everyone has spoken so highly of you these last couple of days. This just adds to the memory of you in my head. Say hi to the Big Man, o.k.?!

I surely miss dad. It won't ever be the same. He comforted me when I was sick, picked me up when I was down, and added just the right touch for the good times too. He always answered my word usage questions and could talk about anything. He taught me so many things, like seeing the good in people, living in the present,and looking towards the future. He made the garden grow, wine to drink, and all around him smile. He would want us to sing aloud, so I will.
It'll be ok mom, God is...

Marilyn,

I want to let you know how much I appreciated the work that Mr. Szabo put into his job as a teacher. He was very dedicated and I learned more grammar from him than in all of my other English classes combined - including college coursework (unfortunately, he wasn't able to influence my poor spelling).

While a senior at Rogers, I asked Mr. Szabo to write me a letter of recommendation. Not only did he do that, but he pulled me out of class to review it. Obviously he...
