It´s been 14 years since that fateful day. I pray you are in heaven with your family. I know you were with Curran and Chelsea as they welcomed their babies and you are smiling at them every day. Your sense of humor has been passed on again and again. They bring so much joy! Keep a light out for Uncle Nini, Aunt Louise and all of us here. I try to do right by you and honor your memory. Thank you for your Faith. We miss and love you Dad!

10 years later you are still in our hearts and minds. You were so young when I was born. I am thankful that you always did whatever you could to keep us fed and clothed and safe in a home. I appreciate the sacrifices you made to give us what you could. I remember my childhood as full of happy memories. I love and miss you, Dad.

Wow Dad. It has been almost 9 months since you left us. I can still see your face at dinner the night before. I wonder if you knew. If you had resigned yourself. If you just could not say. I miss you every day. It has not been easy. I talk to you all around the house. My grandbaby will be here soon and I know that you are watching over. I know you will be there with us as we welcome her. I guess it's my turn now. Love you Dad! julie

Dear Dad,
Well Christmas is over and we got through it as best we could. We went to Sheila's as you talked about and had some fun. We even got to make that egg nog you're famous for and do a little karaoke. You would have been proud. Hard to believe you were there just two Christmas' ago singing away with us. We miss you Dad and hope you are moving easy...Love, julie

There is so much to say about my father, but for now, here, I will say that I always admired his wit, his heart, and his laugh! We shared so many things he and I, from our birth sign, to our writing, to our views about family and the world. I will cherish having him around me always, for the rest of my life... Say hello to Uncle Albert, Uncle Arthur, Granny and Grandpa, and Deena (not sure of her spelling), Dad! I'll miss you all til I see you again! ~~Stephanie
