Not sure what to say?

How do you thank a man who is willing to take on three more children and go on to father two more. All I can say is how thankful I am that you did and the fact that "family A", from the start, embraced us is a testament to your good nature and the values that you have instilled in us all.

Dear Bob, You were always a very special person. Frank and I knew you best when you worked for Grumman in Virginia. You always had a smile for everyone and a laugh too. It doesn't surprise us as we read your obituary about how you helped so many people during your lifetime. The years have separated us but not the memories.

Daddy, you are the best daddy a girl could ever have. I miss you so much already. I have so many fond memories of you that I hope I never forget. Thank you for raising me & my brothers. Love always, Carol

I met Bob when Cassandra and I were in high school. I had the privilege/responsibility/fun of driving Cass to school.

Daddy, I miss you very much. I will miss your sense of humor. I will miss the devilish look you used to get in your eyes when you thought some thing was truly funny, and you and I were the only one's that got it.
I am happy you came to all my children's weddings and were there for all the births of their babys....your great grandchildren..the 9th one will be born in a few days...a boy to be named Elijah.
I am proud that you were my Father. Proud of the man you were..and proud of the...

Daddy, what will we do without you? Your phone calls about dinner, seeing you each summer, getting your cards, hearing about work.... you are always in my heart forever. I do mourn the fact you will not be here for my children to continue to know and appreciate the man you were.
