An excerpt from my last letter from my dad:
“Tashna, take one day at a time- remember all the wonderful times and cherish the ones around you. You are in my prayers, and my heart...
I love you, always
Dad”

Thoughts of my dad,
John M.A. Hendriks:
The first name I remember my dad calling me was “my darling,” but in his accented English it sounded like “m’dahlin.” I loved that nickname which he used all the time. When my sister was born, he’d call me “my big daughter” and for my sister it was “my little daughter.”

Della & John:

Just heard today from Brad (your friend for 40 years!), thank goodness he found my number. Since I moved to Prescott, haven't kept in touch so much. I still remember when we put together the offer on your "forever" home. I was so happy that you bought it & moved to the Gem. You will be missed very much but at least you're both in your happy & pain free heaven. Was looking forward to my spring visit with you. Love you & miss you.

So loved, so missed, so very dear"

We will talk every day as we have done for years " on the other side". Sending you all my love - Steven
