Hey, grandma and grandpa,
Been having a lot of rain so I didn't have to water your flowers. I Will miss sharing mothers day with you, but My family has plans for me. That's why the visit today. Love you both and I will be thinking of you on Sunday. Hugs and kisses xoxoxox
April 23, 2008
As you know I came to visit you and grandma at lunch time. That's 2 visits this week. Next time I come I have to remember to bring water for your flowers. Sure don't want them to die on me. I can't believe the mess I had to clean up. I really feel bad for the ones next to you on both sides. I would be more than happy to help them fix them nice again. Anyway, I want to thank you both for the wonderful weather. With mothers day and fathers day right around the corner, you will both be thought of often by everyone. Well I'll see you again soon. oxoxoxo
April 14, 2008
tax time, so I've been really busy. maybe I'll get to you towards the end of the week. thanks for the sunshine. deep down I know you and grandma had something to do with it. I hear jessica is sick, I think a cold but not sure. You would know better then me. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying each other again. love to you both. oxoxoxox
April 9, 2008
It was a beautiful day for grandma's final send off. It started off cloudy, but got much nicer. A lot of people came to say their goodbyes. Hope this is it for a longggg.....while. Love you both, and I'm glad your finally together. oxoxo
April 5, 2008
Well I guess grandma is finally at peace now that the two of you are a couple again. She wasn't going to be happy until she joined you in heaven. Maybe with the two of you watching over us things will start to turn around. We all love you and I will catch up with you later. oxoxox

I bought you a couple of plants and a new flag. Hope springtime weather will be coming soon. Well I think about you often bye for now. oxoxox

As you know, I visited with you today. I can't believe your flag is gone???? I'm guessing that it might have blown away in last weeks winds. I cleaned up your place and left a couple of things for you for Easter. I'll try to come with a new flag soon. Love you.....

Today is grandma's birthday. All she really wants is you and that is something none of us can give her. I wish she wasn't so down all the time, She lost you but she has so many things to be grateful for in her life. 3 wonderful grandchildren, two adorable great grandchildren, plus an extended family consisting of their spouses and their families. Well, know we're all thinking of you and that we miss you and love you.
February 26, 2008
Hey grandpa, I'm staying in today, just not feeling good plus its really nasty out. I have a terrible headache. Maybe I'll get to you over the weekend. From what I hear, everyone is doing fine. But you already knew that. Send some sunshine, love from me.....
February 16, 2008

I was thinking about you this morning, and just figured I'd check-in with you. It's really cold today, but if it wasn't so windy I'm sure it wouldn't feel as cold. I heard that gloria keeps falling. I also hear that Kristen and Brian are the biggest help. Guide them to ALL do whats right. They need you around them a lot more right now. I'm doing good and as far as I know so is everyone else. Maybe I'll get by to visit you. Love you. oxoxox

January 29, 2008
Hey grandpa, I gave you a guardian angel to go with the heart. She does send off happy vibes. I won't be able to make it to your actual anniversary,marking your 1st year in heaven, this was the only day I could come. I got an hour for lunch instead of usual 30 minutes. I will be thinking of you though, as I always do. Can't believe your gone a year already. I miss you and love you. I'll talk with you again real soon. watch over us and keep trying to guide us in our everyday choices. we should be so lucky to be half the person you were. Bye! love you.....
January 21, 2008
Hi grandpa...It's really cold here today. It is also a little windy, which made me wonder if the special heart I left you is stll there? I will have to make a trip there to see. I'm just hoping it was deep enough in the ground. I'm waiting for more sunshine from you. Any day now will be fine. I keep looking at my pictures of the family and I know it will never be the same without you, You bought life and togetherness to us all. Now everyone is going in different directions. It is sad. The days are so rushed and full. I really can't explain why. Well know that I love you and I'll come see you soon. Hopefully before the end of the month. Bye for now oxoxoxoxo
January 18, 2008
well it's the middle of the month. Time sure does fly. I'm guessing that everyone is doing good. Sure hope your looking after Laurie?? Last I heard she is feeling just o.k. The sun is shining bright and I always feel on a sunny day that you are a little responscible for it. well just checking in with you, and know that I am thinking of you. kisses and hugs.
January 10, 2008
Thinking of you as always. Thanks for the answered prayers, you are the best. Love you so much
January 10, 2008
Hey grandpa, as you know I visited you today, but I couldn't stay because of all the burials going on around you. I cleaned up your space, but I did leave glorias wreath and the santa claus. Hope you like what I got you. It's hard this time of year. Wish I could have stayed longer, but know that I love you and I'll try to get there before your 1st anniversary in heaven. I truly miss you.....

Hi! grandpa. Christmas is gone, and it seems like everyone had a good day. We all seem to reminise about loved ones this time of year. Luckily its all happy memories that we can pass on to the little ones. I know you were watching over all of us, even though we all weren't in the same place. We are all hoping that 2008 will be a good year. Love you and miss you.
December 26, 2007
Well Christmas came & went & our hearts ached to be with you. I got so many gifts but the one gift I would want the most is to see your face & get one of your big hugs again. Miss you so much & we are all trying so hard. Keep watching over us & keep us safe. We love you so much & miss you more then you will ever know. This holiday was so hard without you as I am sure every holiday here on will never be the same without you. Merry Christmas Grandpa WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH

We had our first snow yesterday. Today is windy, and all the snow has melted. All of us are really missing you. Don't know whose going to take over being the life of the party. Your going to be a tough act to follow. I know it will be a year that your gone, but I always feel you around us and I can only hope that on our good days, that we are making you proud. love you........

Tommorow is December 1st. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Some good and some bad, but thats life. Brians birthday is passed and now the christmas season is here.

Don't really know when anyone else will come to visit, but please know that even though we don't get there often, you are thought of every single minute of every single day. I truely miss you. You hold a special place in my heart. Love you!!!
October 17, 2007
wrote to you last week, and again it didn't post. must be something with the sight. Everyone seems to be doing ok. we all have our share of problems but I'm sure everything will be fine. It looks and feels like rain, but they say not until thursday night. Precious isn't doing too well. I guess she'll be joining you shortly. Soon will be kristopher's birthday. A party is planned but as far as I know there aren't any details yet. The only thing I know for sure is that frank will be coming up from florida. One can only hope for snow. (HINT, HINT). well catch you soon. love always, XOXO
October 5, 2007
Another day gone by & we all still think of you often. The holidays are right around the corner & the thought of you not there with us hurts so much. Watch over each of us, your Grandkids will need extra prayers to help get through the holidays. We miss you & love you
October 1, 2007
well it is Oct. 1st. Don't know where the time has gone. Before you know it the holidays will be knocking at our doors. Its been beautiful the past couple of days. I guess it makes watching down on us a little easier. I'm assuming that someone will be putting pumpkins on your resting place. I'll see if we can get someone to decorate for you for halloween. Love you lots.........
September 27, 2007
Well did you meet nana at the pearly gates? I'm sure you did. Bryan really wanted to go see her one last time, but it just wasn't good money wise. Hope you keep us in-line from above. looks like rain today. So do you think all the cousins will manage to get a relationship going or what? Sounds real good, but I, like most, have my doubts. Maybe you can give everyone a push in the right direction? Love you....
September 26, 2007
Hey Grandpa, Just thinking of you again. Hope you are looking down on us & keeping us in your prayers. We love you & think of you everyday!!!!
September 21, 2007
Just thinking of you. Miss you more & more each day. With the holiday's coming up fast it will be hard with out you there with us. Love you
September 17, 2007
gloria is doing really well. but as you know your friend bob has passed. hopefully you were there to greet him. Everyone is doing well, but again you already knew that. Even precious is better. The weather here has been beautiful. Did you have anything to do with that??? If so thankyou. Well hope you keep looking out for all of us. I know it's a big job, but if anyone can do it, it's you. Talk again soon. Love Me!
September 13, 2007
well grandpa, seems that the love of your life had herself another stroke. At least it wasn't as bad as the past ones. Brian is hanging in there and Frankie is busy with con-ed. Heather still isn't pregnant yet. Maybe soon. Jeff and Kris are doing good and Jessica sounds like a real pistol. I'm sure I'll see her soon, and when I do I'll give her a kiss for you. Everyone else sounds like their doing well. The weather is great right now. Hope it stays this way. I'll say an extra prayer for grandma, talk with you real soon. LOVE you!
September 6, 2007
sorry grandpa, I did post 2 other letters to you but they never showed up. One was on 8/31 and another was on 9/3. why they didn't come through I don't know. Well you know that I was thinking of you on your birthday. I was told that a birthday cake of flowers was put on your grave. Maybe I'll get there this weekend. We all had dinner in your honor. you really would have loved the restaurant. Know that I love you and am always thinking of you. Lots of kisses. Love me.

Happy 1st Birthday in Heavan Grandpa, I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. The tears still flow almost everday. What I would not do to see your smiling face again & to feel your great big hugs. Please watch over us & keep us safe & strong. We all love & miss you more then you know. Love you always, Kristen
August 23, 2007
Everyone feels you around them. It's amazing that you can be in so many places at one time. I always knew you had a gift, now I know it's many...gifts. Your birthday is coming real fast. Don't know of any plans yet, but I'm sure someone will tell me how we're going to honor you. everyone is doing well as you already can see. minor problems but nothing too big. Brian still hasn't gotten into con-ed, but he is patiently waiting his turn. Nasty weather, send a little sunshine. No heat, just sun. love you.....
August 13, 2007
Kristen's birthday didn't go by without the mention of your name. Everyone misses you, and our only sanity is knowing that your watching over all of us. Lord knows we need all the help we can get. The whole family is alittle crazy. Loving, but crazy. I find we laugh at ourselves and each other alot, It helps to look at things with some humor. Well I will be thinking of you, as always. Love you...

You are missed more and more each day! We try to get through the holidays, but it's hard cause you made the party! Your Grandson Brian takes it real hard....he loves you more than anyone will ever know. I hope you are looking and watching over us. We need guidance from you! Little Kris has such an awesome personality like you and he will always know how amazing his Great Grandfather was! Love you <3
August 7, 2007
You were honored again. Are you getting tired of it yet? Great people are remembered and honored for years and years and years, so I guess you better get use to it. The pictures at the anniversary party brought back so...many wonderful memories to all that were there. Bet you didn't realize how many hearts you really affected (showoff). Hope everyone in the family will learn from all you have given them. Do you have any influence with the weatherman up there? If so we need less humidity and a little breeze wouldn't hurt either. Work your magic, I'll be waiting. Love you
July 19, 2007
hey grandpa, I heard that the stone honoring you is finally in place. It sure took long enough. Don't know if I'll get to go see it but know that I'm always thinking of you. Your great-grandaughter is growing like a weed. She really is a good combo of her mom and dad. With any luck she'll have your fire for life. love you and I'll talk again soon.

Easter is coming and it will officially mark our first holiday without you. We all still talk, and think about you every single day. The family still has many obstacles to overcome, but with time and patience we will all get through it.Please try to guide Diane in ALL that she has to do. I feel so bad for her. I'm sure you can now see all that she does for everyone around her. Bye for now, and know that we all love you.

Gpa, Words can not express the hole that is in my heart since you have passed. There is not a moment that goes by that I do not think of you and wish you were here with us. You were more then a Grandfather to me you were a father to me & my brothers. As I write this my eyes are full of tears, not only because of the pain of losing you , but of remembering all of the good times that we have had. How lucky I was to have all those wonderful memories with you. You will never be forgotten & always will be in our hearts. I will be sure to share all of our memories with Jessica so that she will know what a wonderful, caring, loving and compassionate man her Great Grandfather was. Until we see other again be sure to watch over us & protect us from above. I love you & miss you
Your Granddaughter,

G-Pa, Words can not express the empty whole in my heart when you passed. You not only were the best Grandfather anyone could ever have but you were like a father to me as well. I love you & miss you so much. Life will never be the same without you. I am just so grateful that Jessica got to meet her Great Grandfather for you really were a great man. There was not a person that met you that you did not touch in some special way. Everyone loved & adored you. As I write this my eyes just fill with tears, not only for all the sadness I feel but also all the wonderful memories we share. I know Jessica will love to hear all the stories of all the great times we all shared. You will never be forgotten for your memory will be passed on to Jessica & Kristopher & they will know that wonderful, thoughtful, kind, caring & compassionate man you were. WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS & till we see each other again watch over us from up above
Love your Granddaughter,

What can you really say about G-Pa that would sum it up in only a few sentences! He is one of the greatest men that i will ever be blessed to know in my life time. He welcomed me into his family with open arms as well as my own family(mother and brothers). He never judged anyone and had a heart of gold. He touched so many people and did so many things within the span of his life. He is truly a great role model. He will be deeply missed.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I'll never forget you Mike. Even though we were years apart in age I considered you a good friend of mine. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you as much as I would have liked over the past few years but you know sometimes life gets in the way of life. We're counting on you to take care of things up there.
Sleep well my friend.
