Not sure what to say?

Hi Andy,
Many family times have been ongoing and
we know that you've been attending them
all. We know, too, that you were there
to welcome Barbara Home. It was hard to
lose her, but we know that she is now
well and out of pain. I want you to
know that I so miss you, but I feel
you near each and every day. I know
that you are watching over us because
we all see the signs that let us know
you're close by. Rest in peace, dear
husband,...

Couldn't do it yesterday..sorry

Mom had a nice anniversary mass for you. We miss you very much!

Continue to watch over us, guide us and protect us like you always have. We know you have been because we see the "signs".

The memories and feelings seem to grow stronger everyday. My day begins and ends with your picture by my bedside. Your image is carried with me all day and it is comforting knowing you are by my side.

Our wish for you is eternal...

Dear Andy,

It's now a year since you've been gone
Although NEVER far away
In disbelief and with lingering grief
We pray for you each day~

God thought it time to take you "HOME"
Your suffering too much to bear
As in all our lives, His will be done
You are now in his tender care~

I only ask one favor
That He direct us on our way
And help us cope and carry on
'Til we're together again one day~

I pray that...

Hi Dad,

This was, by far, the most difficult time during the past year. Not having you here was unimaginable. There are so many childhood and adult memories during the Holidays, it's tough to list them all! Chelsea Santa Claus visits, or trying to get to Disney during a blizzard (seems like only yesterday). Being able to tell my boys what you were like as a Dad is the most gratifying and lasting memory I have had. I know you listen in on all the stories. You set the gold standard...

Hi Andy,
I wanted to let you know how much we
missed you this Christmas. It's so
very difficult keeping it together.
I received a lovely poem reminding me
that you are spending Christmas with
Jesus this year. How happy you must
be. It doesn't make it any easier for
us not having you here, but we must
realize, after all, that you are where
we are journeying toward and that you
have gone ahead to prepare the way.
We will all be...

Hi Andy,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we missed you yesterday. The family gathered at Kris
and Andrew's and Andrew recited a most
beautiful blessing before our meal. It
was most touching and heartfelt and we
all brushed away a tear. He mentioned
how much we missed you there, but knew
full well that you were there in spirit. I know it is one of your very
favorite holidays. Now as we approach
another, the time ahead will...

HI ANDY,
WE HAD A MASS FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY LAST
WEEK. IT WAS, AGAIN, VERY DIFFICULT,
BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND AT
PEACE. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH, BUT KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN GOD'S CARE. WE
LOVE YOU AND ARE TRYING SO HARD TO TAKE
EACH DAY AS IT COMES. WE KNOW THAT YOU
ARE WATCHING OVER US EACH AND EVERY MOMENT. IT HELPS TO KEEP US GOING.
GOD BLESS YOU. WITH ALL MY LOVE, JANE

HI ANDY,
WE REMEMBERED YOU WITH A MASS AND
BREAKFAST TODAY FOR YOUR 80TH BIRTHDAY.
I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH AND, ALTHOUGH I
KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH US, THE
HURT NEVER GOES AWAY. WE VISITED YOU
AND BALLOONS FLEW TO HEAVEN WITH
SPECIAL PAINTED CARDS ATTACHED. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THEM. HOPE YOU, UNCLE FRANK AND PAPA D. ARE GETTING IN A LOT
OF GOLF ON THE "HEAVEN'S GATE" GOLF
COURSE. JILL HAD A WONDERFUL DREAM ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT. SHE SAID...

Uncle Buddy,
We just sang to you - I know you recognized our "lovely" voices.....Happy Birthday! Think of of you often and miss you dearly! Love Your Sister Eileen and Goddaughter Maureen
