Sorry I didnt even know you had passed. You were a very special person. So much fun water skiing with friends and the kids and you were a great dancer and a wonderful vet.

Dad, it's just another candle, it marks a year since I've heard your voice. I long to hear your voice reply, to my statement,"I love you Dad". And you'd say, "I love you too, son".
Whenever I'm missing you, the Lord reminds me that, " you're in my future, and not my past!" Hope, that strengthens me, thank you Jesus.
Dad, you know I miss you. But, I will, "be seein' ya!"

Yes the world was a way better place with you in it ! You always gave everybody anything they needed at the drop of a hat . You always cared about everybody and everything and never had a bad word to say about anyone and you always thought I was worth a Mercedes ! LOL! Rest in peace. Thank you for everything you said and done no matter how big or small they always meant a lot. I'll see you on the other side love you and we will forever miss you! God Bless You! You were truley an angel! Ronnie, Jo Ann & Tyler
