Daddy, you were the best Dad a girl could have. You were always there when I needed you. You and Mama were my inspiration. I to will always remember our camping trips to Ruth Lake. Those are some of my happiest memories. I will truly miss you. You and Mama have left a big hole that can never be filled. See you on the other side. Dick says he will also miss you very much.

My condolences to the Caywood family. I will fondly remember Chris from seeing him around Blue Lake either taking his daily walks with the dogs to get his mail at the post office or serving as an active member at the Grange Hall.

I love you grandpa, and I'm going to miss you so very much. I have more memories than I could put on paper. But a few things stick out. I can remember the many times going fishing with grandpa and my cousins and uncles. Those were some of my best childhood memories. I can also remember taking walks with him down to the river to let the dogs run wild.
I look up to you grandpa, and I always have. You will always live on in my heart. You've made it home grandpa, and I know you are happy. I love you
