Papa Bear In just a few more days, it will be 11 years since we had to say goodbye. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes forever ago. The selfish part of me hates it daddy! I wish you were still here. I wish you didn´t have the cancer and were still here! You have another great granddaughter. Oh you would so love her! She is already 11 months old. You would be so proud of all of your grandchildren and you would absolutely adore your great grandchildren! Christmas Eve is not the...

Wow, my sweet Papa Bear, I just can't believe it has been 9 years on January 2nd, since you left this world. 9 years just doesn't seem right as it only seems like yesterday some times.

Although I did not know Joe...I know he raised a beautiful daughter in Tammy. I hope God guides you and your family through the loss of your dad. My prayers go out to everyone affected by his passing.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Joe was a wonderful man. May he stay in my prayers.

Seems like only yesterday you were that unwavering and principled young supervisor in Public Works at the Yard - I can't believe I've only known you and Cheryl some 29+ years!
