Not sure what to say?

If I didn´t know better I would have sword this was you. June 23, 2024

Last year there was a devastating fire across the street and a young couple lost everything. Several days later I saw this picture of a Safety Patrol Officer standing in front of their home it literally took my breath away. If I didn’t know better I would have sworn it was you. It so looked like you with even the dropped left shoulder that happened when you were little and broke your collarbone, twice. Once a firefighter always a firefighter. I do believe. Oh yeah it was my birthday...

I do believe that you are always with us.

Guess when this was?
7th Grade. Age 12

Another year has passed since God called you to Heaven. Today, June 1st, marks 11 years since our lives have changed forever. Also June 4th we would have been celebrating your 71st Birthday. You will be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. I know you will also be near us as the cardinals visit our backyard. Please keep Brian, Santa’s Little Helper, Dale, and Rigby in your protecting wings.
Happy 71st Birthday
All my love always
Patti

My wish for you today is that your family and friends will take a moment today, 10 years since your passing, to remember all the happy times that they had with you during the times together. I often wonder if you hadn’t passed what the past 10 years would have been like. I can’t bring you back but keeping you in my heart and mind keep you with me every day. In 3 days we would have also been celebrating your 70th birthday. You have Brian, Santa’s Little Helper, Dale and just 11 days ago...

Another year has passes without you, #9. The love and memories will always be with me. Last night I read once again all the comments people left on this site and many of them mentioned your smile, how helpful you were to them, the stories you had to tell, O Jack, and how you will be greatly missed. All of those are held for you in my heart. People still say I´m crazy with the signs I see from you and Brian and you have to believe. I am attaching a picture that I have recently walked...

Yet another year has passed without you. I can´t believe that it´s been 8 years. Today the family will all be together to celebrate Moms retirement after 57 years. Yes she finally is doing it. I will be holding you in my heart during the celebration with family nd friends gathered around. You will live on in all the memories and always in my heart. May everyone take a moment today to remember a happy celebration/time they had with you. All my love to you and Brian. Sending those big...
