Dad, this is the first time I have been able to read your obituary online. Mom needed to go, but not you, Dad. None of us were ready when you left us. It's hard to believe neither of you are here to talk to.

The 24th is Mom's birthday. I hope you are having cake and ice cream with her. Hug and kiss each other for me. I miss you so very much.

Love, Jane

Dad,

I miss you so much. I still wait for you to call me at night just to say that you are ok. I was not ready for you to leave me, but I know how much you missed Mom.

Please watch over our family until we see each other again.

Love, June

To the family of Uncle Angelo,
We want to express our sympathy, and tell you how much we will miss Uncle Angelo, as we miss his dear wife, our Aunt Josephine. We will remember their love and hospitality, and the generosity and warmth they showed to us. We always enjoyed the visits with them. We are sad to not see them now, but comforted in the hope of them being resurrected from the sleep of death into the paradise of God's promise (Psalm 37:29).
We will cherish the wonderful memories we have of such a dear aunt and uncle.
Love,
Mary Ann, Jim, and Jimmy Seward

Grandpa,
I can't believe you and grandma are both gone. It seems sureal. I know you are happy that you are now with grandma again but I miss you. Kelsey said that because you and grandma are angels now, both of you will watch over us and protect us. I can only hope you are in a better place and will save a place up there for the rest of us when the time comes. I love you. Rest in peace grandpa.
