Hi Dad
Not such a good night. I was listening to one of you songs we chose at the funeral. Entitled on Eagles wings and some of the phrases just bent me over.
"you who dwell in the shadow of the Lord who abide in His shelter for life. Say to the Lord my refuge my rock in whom I trust. And He will lift you up on eagles wings.....and so Dad that is how I picture you going to be with Our Mom and Our Lord. Amen and Amen Dad. Life is so hard without you and Mom and I miss you everyday...

Hi Dad Every time I see your picture in the obituaries I am doubled over in grief and anguish. Oh, how I miss you and Mom, I always ask Our Lord to let mespeak to you but He in His wisdom keeps us apart until we meet finally in Heaven. Father's Day is coming and so I tell you How much I love you Dad and I so miss you and Mom. I still cannot accept that you have left this world.. Say hello to Mom. Eternal rest Dad andmayperpetual lite shine upon you. I love you and Miss you as only Lesus kows.

Merry Christmas Dad!
It was our first Christmas not at our house after 48 some years. We missed you and Mom deeply.
Of course we are continuing alot of Mom's Traditions because they are ours too and we all love them.
I closed the account and divided it for all the kids as you instructed.
So sad without you and Mom. i know on one level I guess in my mind that you both died, but somehow I cannot accept it in my heart. Our Lord graciously helps me daily with the pain.
Going to...

Hi Dad

Your/Our house sold(you'd be upset with the price) but imagine that you are okay with it. As I told Mom you would be so pleased with the couple that bought the house.This is their first home and they have a 4 year old son.
She(the wife) cried at the closing because she loved the house from the first time they saw it.
I am almost finished with this aspect of the estate and it was a...
