Dad, I miss so many things about you. Your love and appreciation for the simple things. Your ability to fix anything and willingness to teach us the same. Your wonderful, contagious laugh. That wink in your eye when silently saying 'hi' from across the room.
You would do anything for us Dad, and you will be forever in our hearts.
I miss you dearly. Love, Sherie

George,
I was impressed by so many things about you. Your perseverance in the face of great hardship. Your kindness and generosity to me and my family.
Your self reliance and resourcefulness. You could and did fix anything. But I will miss most of all, I think, your unbreakable spirit. Rest well, George, no one deserves it more. Your son-in-law, Jack.
