Losing someone so special to you and your family is unbelievably hard. My heart goes out to all of you. Keep your memories of him close to your heart.You will think about him so often when things are difficult and challenging as well as when things are happy or something funny reminds you of your times together. You will remember his smile, the feel of his arms around you, his laugh and the scent of his aftershave. They are the most precious of memories.

I always believed that when you are thinking of a lost loved one that they are in turn thinking of you wherever they are now. They continue to watch over us and to send you their strength and their sense of humor when we need it the most.

He is not here with you physically but will always be in your heart and memories.

God bless you all.

Love,
Robin, Tom, Cass, Bree, Leif, Gage and Hailey

Grandpa,
You were always so kind and patient... a true role model. You're stories were the best, and somehow you managed to keep us entertained on that farm with no TV for weeks at a time. Thank you for all of the breakfasts at six in the morning, for helping me on my studies in the summer, and for reminding me that I could attain any goal I chose. I will never forget you or all of the fun flying kites and being scared of the wicked witch in the water tower. You are smarter than some Indians I know. Love you Grandpa, you are missed already!

Dear Dad,
There are so many things I want to say to you. To the wonderful, loving man that wrapped his arms around a gawky girl from Glendora High and gave her a father that she never had. Your wisdom, your laughter, you advise and your quickness to forgive- only a few of your most amazing qualities that I could have never expected to put together in a dad. Thank you for all the wonderful years, for raising amazing sons that were willing to share you, for all the pop corn you popped, the laughter you gave us with the practical jokes and stories- the wonderful memories that we can continue to share of the smartest man we know. I am heartsick that you are gone but so happy to have known you and been loved by you.
I Love You Dad!
Love,
Holly

All our love forever and ever. Brian and Ronna

Uncle Ross I will miss you so much! We always has so much fun together when you and Aunt Joan came to town. I will never forget you donning your fancy suit and serving Cindi and I hot cocoa and peaches on the good china out of a silver tea service. We could always count on you to make us laugh or share with us your wisdom. I know you are with Aunt Joan now...give her my love! Miss you already.
