Hey Dad, now it has been 13 years before was 11. I´m missing you more than ever. Mom is 95 now and starting to show her age now. I know you have been waiting patiently for her to be together again. Dad I really love you and mom and one day hope to meet up again. Right now I´m on earth living with my handsome son and my beautiful wife. Until we see each other again Dad watch over Mom and remember I love you and Mom always.

Hey Dad, 13 years later and I´m still missing and thinking of you. Now that I have a son I understand you now more then ever. Thanks for all you did for me, I wish I could´ve made you even more proud of me. I still remember that talk in the field when we were waiting for that tree that was burning to fall. I love you Dad. Love Donny.
