Hey Dad,
Happy Turkey Day. I love you And i miss you so much. Ive been having dreams about you lately. They make me not want to wake up. I Know your watching over us so i wont write a book about our daily lives. Just thought id write you today and tell you how much i miss you. The table fell over today even though it was sckrewed into the wall right after me n mom were crying and talking about you..made me kind of giggle. Considering its been there for months and what a time to just come detached from the wall and knock all the pies on the floor. Thankfully they were wrapped in foil so they didnt end up everywhere. But I got this feeling it might of been something to do with you! I love you Dad. I cant wait for the day i get to hug you again and hear your voice. Its been to long but i know one day it'll come! Happy Thanksgiving dad. And im thankful God chose you to be my Dad! 2sick is getting big almost eye level with me he misses you so much. Mom too! She still cries everyday. Until next time.....I love you so much miss you everyday
Love Skinz

Hey Dad,
its me just sitting here thinking about the people up there. I know you noticed you got a few more angels up there recently. We got into a new house and things were going great till recently.... vicki lost her job but me and dj are working now. I dont work quite as much as i did but am waiting for the response on another job. I saac said he misses you. He always talks about you waking him up early and going fishing. He talks about the golf course and the movies. he's getting big hes almost 160lbs and eye level with me. Still playin football. He said the broncos won the super bowl for you. But i just thought i'd stop in and say hey. I miss you. It still hasnt gotten easier if anything it gets harder not to hear you. I found my 1st christmas movie and easter and watched it of course i cried but hearing your voice made me happy but yet i cried. At least i got to hear you. I miss you bud!!!! haha I can hear you now "stop bud, your gunna make me start cryin" haha invite those who we lost recently with open arms and as always give everyone up there a hug from me and just know i cant wait for the day i can speak to you and hear you actually respond. Grandma said she had a dream about you and in it you told her you wanted to come home. I wish you could. But ne ways i can go for pages writing you but i already know you can see everything that happens everyday. I love you dad with all my heart. hugs and kisses.
Your Honeylovers aka skinz

hey dad i miss you i dont even know what to say i know you see everything and i know you would yell at me n tell me to get ahold of it soldier.... im losing it more and more n everyday i see mom wilting away in front me.... i cry for her more than i cry for myself.I tell isaac everyday that you love him and your up there watching over us and that you can see him and every touchdown he makes.He's goin to playoffs whoo-hoo. I dont even know if we r going to make it out of this one. mom is getting more and more depressed everyday, and everytime we take her to the ER there never is an answer....just a thought of dying of a broken heart... hope your lookin out for everyone..we lost you and our whole worlds rolled..i love you and i miss you...Always and Forever

Hello my brother,
I'm not much of a writer but I'll give it a shot. I truly believe that when you passed, your body may not be here but your soul and your wild crazy spirit will always be with all of us. I remember all the crazy times partying, all the laughs, all the good and the not so good times that we all went through and I'm glad that you were there to share all those times with us. Every time I think of you, I always see your smiling face and that's how I'll always see and remember you. Please watch over my sister and Alisha and know that you are loved by soooo many. God Bless you Ace, love you and miss you!!!

hey dad...i know its been awhile since i wrote you on here but you already know that i talk to everyday. I love you so much, and i miss you more than anything. Everyday I just wish i could have a two way conversation instead of me talking to myself or getting no answer to a question. you know i havent had a drink for six months now. I just wish that i could have stopped that night from EVER happening. That was the worst pain that will linger forever and wont ever go away. I never thought this day would come so soon i always seen you still driving at 70 and being the funny young at heart old man... Hahaha wish i could have seen that. I love you so much dad and if theres any way you can give me a sign or let me feel you please do because i need a hug from my dad. i dont know what to feel anymore everything is different and much harder to handle, i just feel numb and lost. I will always need you and honestly i cant wait for the day when we see eachother again and you can give me that hug that i really truely need. I miss you waking me up all early eventhough i woke up mad or grouchy. i miss you always making me laugh no matter what. I miss the time we spent together. when you were here you were at my house or with me or at least seen me everyday. you know i read your letters from jail, and i just wish that those were recent and its only a matter of time before we could kick it. any way dad I love you and i miss you please stay watching over the family and tell everyone up there i said hi. this is why i dont get on here much because i could write a chapter book with endless sequals. love you dad may you rest in peace and enjoy the freedom from this "lovely" world.
