Daddy, We all love you and miss you very much. I cant wait to get there to be with you, and talk to you and tell you all the funny stuff my husband does. I swear you me and him together. He is just like you in so many ways. the hurt from losing you remains and it didnt get easier over time. it has and always will feel the same. I wouldnt ask god to bring you home- because you are home. And in that home one day we all will be - sitting at that great big ole table you always wanted . one day soon daddy- im comming home too. do me a favor? send mama some love to let her know she will be fine, and that your waiting on her. I know she misses you dearly. I cant visit your grave daddy, because its only a shell in there. Your in heaven where you belong. tell keith mama loves him and give him a big kiss and hug for me. let him know his brother and sisters miss him and love him also

Daddy, there isn't a day that goes by that i do not think of you and miss you. I want you to know that I love you so very much. And I'm missing you really bad. We all are. The great grandbabies are always hollering for their Pawpaw. They love you, too, daddy. And Lori does too. I learned a lot from you, Daddy. And I will use that knowledge to my best ability in life. Don't worry about Mama. We all got her. Please tell granny, grand-daddy, tammie, uncles john, arvil, wally and everyone else in the family hello for us and we will see them again one day. Dont forget Papaw. I know you are with me everywhere i go. You are the BEST guardian angel in the heavens to watch over us. I LOVE YOU DADDY....... MAY YOU REST IN PEACE NOW.

Ritter family,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Didn't know about his passing until my brother called and told me about it. I haven't seen any of you since Loretta lived in Franklin Co. I miss seeing all of you and hate to talk to you under these circumstances. I hope he didn't suffer. Just know that he is in heaven now and that he will always be looking over you. Take Care all of you and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

What a hard challenge it is - giving up someone you love and someone who has loved your so very much.
I believe Miggie's legacy would have to be that He LOVED his family with all of his heart and he loved to make others laugh. What better gift could any have?
We are so sorry for your loss and may you all be comforted by knowing that you each were loved.

Daddy,
It has been a week today since we lost you and I miss you so very much. I wish I could just come to your house and sit on the deck and watch for deer on the hillside. There are no words for the pain or the void in our hearts. However, we all know that you are no longer suffering. I love you so much!!!

Daddy,
I love you and I miss you. I know your in a much better place and are not suffering no more. I hated seeing you the way you were but dad it helped me to be at peace knowing you are NOT hurting anymore, I know we are hurting here but I also know you are with us in heart and mind always.
this is for you daddy.. I LOVE YOU!!!
Take away his suffering
and wipe away his pain,
His halo and wing's
Please let my daddy gain.
He's been our rock for years
and his backbone I will always carry,
I'll be ok I think lord
until his body we have to bury.
The sun will shine bright
and the earth will be kind
while taking his body home
and leaving his body behind.
I LOVE YOU DADDY!!
with all my heart and soul,
the memories of my childhood
i will never ever let go...
I LOVE YOU DADDY SO MUCH, AND WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS.
