Dad,
My God I miss you so much. I don't know how your heart, which was full of so much love, got so broken. I am so thankful for the time I had with you. I know it is selfish of me but I wish that it did not have to end.
Love,
Jay

Jay, it 's a rare day when I actually open the newspaper these days. I was genuinely caught off guard when I noticed your dad's obituary. Unfortunately , the service had completed and I am so sorry that I did not know to reach out to you last week. Please know that you have been in my thoughts every day and I am so very sorry. Your dad was part of my own child hood memories - we all spent a lot of time together back then - soft ball on Sundays, lots of food and some serious arguments in the Hale clan! He was very much part of it all! Part of the family, crazy as it was and still is ..........please know that I care and I'm thinking of you! Becky

I don't know that I will ever get over the lost of my brother. I will always keep him in my heart. He truly was my best friend. I will miss all the talks we had about everything. He would always tell it like it is. Like it or not. He was that honest. My love to Jay and Nathan I will always be here for you. I hope my brother has found the peace he was looking for. May he R.I.P. Now.
I will always love him.
Love your little sister.
