Wow Pepaw. This time last year I was standing by the hospital bed holding your hand and praying to God that you were with him in heaven. I know you are there watching over us all. And today brings back alot of pain and tears. But thru all that there is so much love. In my heart you will forever be. And all the memories we shared together. No one will ever truly understand how close we were. But I am so grateful to have had those times. Friday night dinners. Trips to gatti town and the fair. And you teasing me about UK. I will never settle, and I will never be less of a person than you told me to be. I keep those words in my heart. You were my favorite. Still are! No one can ever take your place. Watch over us today and get us thru the tears because the promise we have is to see you again one day. And I know that when I get to heaven you will be standing there and welcome me home. Saying theres my little princess. I cant tell you how much I miss those words. I miss you and I know you miss me too. We have alot of change going on, change that you would be so happy to be here for. But I know your looking down. And know that if there was a way to build a stairway to heaven all of us would build it and see you again. Forever and always in my heart Pepaw til the day we get to see your face again. I love you my Angel, my pepaw, my friend. Soooo much! Like Mom said. Your always on our minds.

hey Daddy, I wanted to say I love you and I cant beleive its been a year since you left us. I try so hard to think about where you are ,and know that your in heaven and that you are happy and never sick or in pain.And know that your that handsome young man that you always wanted to stay!! I kow your with all your loved ones you lost and I know that you are greeting the ones that we will loose someday. When i think of how happy you must be it makes me get through it easier. I think you have already met all the knew babies that are coming soon. But i sure wish you were going to be here to hold me lil grandaughter Kaylee Jo when she gets here. But maybe you already have. I love you daddy and you will NEVER leave my heart! Your the best daddy ever and i will never forget all you did for me. And how much you loved me, your hugs and kisses i will miss forever ,but i will hold those memories with me and remember that love. Keep watching over us and I will keep looking for you love you daddy! Jennifer

My heart goes out to your family for the loss of your father. A lot of the entries sound very familiar to those written by my sisters and I for our Mother, she passed away in January of 2008. Losing a parent changes the way you look at life everyday. I would have known him anywhere, he still looks like he did the last time I saw him. Like Elvis he was ageless. Always remember that he will live on through you all.

Hi Daddy, The Holidays are coming quick and it just isnt going to be the same without you here to share it with us! There isnt any day that goes go by that you are not in my thoughts my heart.. I just cant seem to get over you being gone! I catch myself still wanting to call you and just talk. I want to hear you say "Daddy loves you" oh what I would give to hear those words again! You are our personal angel now. Momma could really use some extra strength to help get her through the loss of Dave. So if you and Dave and God could just get together and send her lots of love and strength between you all and all of us I think she will be ok in time! Again I love and miss you so very much just like everyone else does. I know that you are going to have a beautiful and special Christmas with God this year, but oh how I wish that it could be here with us... I know that we will all have a blue Christmas without you! Love you very much and Merry Christmas! <3

Hello Daddy, I miss you so much everyday. You are the first thing I think of when I wake up. And your the last person I talk to before I go to bed. Sometimes I think of silly things you did , and I can laugh for a long time. Then there are times I think of things you said to me, or how you would blow me a kiss when I would leave your store. And I cant stop crying. But I know you would do the same for me! This month is hard, I keep seeing your face when you walked into the motel room at your party and saw all of us there. You were so happy. I wish I would have danced with you forever that night.I want to watch all of your birthday video on your birthday. So be with me and let me know its ok.. I love you, and the kids miss and love you too. Your baby girl -Jennifer

Daddy I have stopped counting the days that you left us, it doesnt matter how many it has been none of them will ever be the same anymore. I love you and miss you so very much. We are having a family reunion at boonesbough. They decided to have it there because you use to take us there all the time when we were going up. We would go out on our boat and spend the day on the lake and we all loved it. So many wonderful memories of what a great dad that you were that I share everyday with the boys and they will tell their children of the most wonderful pepaw that anyone could have ask for. It still seems like yesterday that we lost you, I have a big empty hole in my heart and nothing or no one will ever be able to fill. We love you and miss you always RIP my sweet Daddy, until I see you again.
Love

Miss you like crazy - sitting here in your recliner, looking at pictures of us, laughing at the Elvis mask, the hard hat, the baseball bat - all of the things that made us laugh together. You were so full of life that I can't believe you are not here any longer. You would be so proud of your kids and grandkids - they have honored you as you deserve. I know how much you loved all of us! Love, JC

I have so many memories with my pepaw that I hold very,very close to my heart. Everytime I close my eyes and think of u I can hear yor voice telling me that I was your lil baby you would tell everyone around that " I was so beautiful and you would hold me in your arms" you called me your little porcelain doll. I miss you so much, and dont worry everytime something happens ill be sure to let you know. I have a picture of us dancing that I keep close to me all the time. You were a wonderful man if anyone knew you and a wonderful wonderful pepaw, we all love you so much im sure your with Elvis right now singing so please sing "Cant help fallin in love with you" for me I love that song. Im coming to see you today and I promise I wont cry I just wont u to know that I love you very much Love you always.... Heather

Pepaw its hard to believe that I wont hear your voice or see your face anymore. But I know one day when the Lord calls me home you will be standing at the gates welcoming me home, and tell me that Im your princess. I cant even explain the pain and hole I feel in my heart. You will forever be in my heart until I see you again. We all love and miss you very much! And you were my favorite! No one else will take your place. Love you always. Your princess... Savanah

So sad to hear about Tex's passing! I have the greatest memories of him "sitting in" and singing "Don't Be Cruel" and other Elvis songs with us at the Congress Inn (Ivan Shaw and the Country Sounds).
We all just loved Tex and looked forward to seeing him! I remember him as kinda wild but really warm and generous ...a genuine character.
I'm sure God is getting a big kick out of him right now!!!
Great to see and sing for some Conleys in Nashville, last week and please accept my deepest condolences.

We send our sympathy to all the family of "Tex". For years whenever I would be going to work at the Meadowthorpe Antique Mall Tex would always greet me with a big hello and smile, ask about my family and usually have a story for me. He checked on everyone making sure everything okay. Tex had a big heart and will be missed by all. May you have peace knowing he is now with our Lord in Heaven and his loved ones who passed before him. I know he loved you Glenn and you will miss him.
With love and prayers,

Oh my. I just seen him not to long ago at Hillcrest while he was visiting someone, and I was visiting my mom. We talked as though he had known me for years, even though he knew my parents for man, many years. My prayers are with you in this time of your loss.
