I've been thinking about you so much today, and it hurts so much to know you're gone. Wishing won't bring you back to us, so we have to trust in God and know that we'll see you again someday. I know you're at peace, and I know time will heal all wounds and one day we'll be able to see you again...I just wanted to tell you I love you, Dad. I love you so much...

To Boot's Family:
I have some fond memories of Boots from a very long time ago when he was living in Cheaspeake Beach, VA. I am sad to hear about your loss. May God bless all of you.

Dad - There are so many things that I wish I could have been able to tell you before you passed, so many hopes and wishes that now will not be able to come true. I know you are in a better place and are watching over us all. I know we haven't spent time together because of the distance and not being able to contact each other for so long, but I've always wanted to see you and tell you I love you no matter what ever happened in the past. You have always done the best you knew how and as much as I wish we had those years together, I will see you again one day and when God calls us to walk with him, we will all be together. I have always loved you and wanted peace for you. Now you are at peace in sleep until God calls us to walk beside Him, and though we are hurting, missing you and wishing you were still here with us, we know you aren't hurting anymore. I love you so much, Dad. Rest in peace!

Margie and family
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My mother called this morning to tell me. You and your family have been through a lot. Tell Tracey I said hello--and I remember the good times we had playing when we were little--hope he does.
Johnny really wanted to come but is not able to get off of work. Margie --you have been a good friend to my mother for many years--she still tells me some of the things you all used to do when you were young and crazy.
