Happy Birthday Laura yesterday!! It was a good day at moms on Sunday. I enjoyed celebrating your birthday. Played Golf Monday and Larry Hagey was there. He told me a story about dad. It was from the Sacred Heart Days and he was asked to sit in on the 7th Grade Sex Education for the boys with Father Flinn and four other Dads. Well Father Flinn was struggling in his teachings on the matter and turned to Dad for his opinion. Well Dad being caught off gaurd and not prepared to speak, took on a...

Dad, it is so hard to believe that 4 years have passed since we last got to see your smile. We miss you so very much and you are never far from our thoughts and hearts. You are very much a part of our everyday lives and I wanted you to know that as we mourn your passing this Good Friday we will celebrate that you are by God's side.

I talked with Mom the other day and I know she misses Dad dearly.

Have you heard this?
-------------------
I have heard a thousand times that you are in a better place and that a thousand times I have rejoiced.

The reason I am broken and the reason why I cry. Is how long must I wait to be with you? I close my eyes and I see your face and so if home is where the heart is then I am out of place.

WOW!
Now comes the prayer.
Help me Oh Lord...

Merry Christmas dad, Thank You for all the gifts you gave me thru your life. You are missed by all. Be with mom as she deals with her brother passing, She misses you. We had a memorial at her house last night and as the candles burnt, some were burning not as bright as others. I thought to myself this is probably how some of my brothers and sisters really feel. I took the candles and attended to them to make sure each candle burnt brightly just as you would have done for us. You and mom...

Hi Dad, It's been a very busy past few months ... but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you! Devin is growing so fast and he's such a doll! He looks like any of us Antoff kids -- so, as Connie says, you do live on but that doesn't stop me from missing you. I knew it was your birthday last Sunday and it's still hard not being able to call you and wish you a Happy Birthday. I can still hear Mom telling you "I'm still younger than you" and laughing and your reply "Not for...

Dad,

Happy belated birthday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were still with us. When Billy smiles, I see the same twinkle in his eyes you had. More evidence that you live on. Rob and Caitlin are having a little one next year, which definitely gives the family something to look forward to! Happy Birthday, Dad, and Merry Christmas! Keep us safe in the New Year!

Love always!

Happy Birthday, Dad. I can't believe that time is flying by so fast. Mom and I went to church yesterday to celebrate your birthday. I could feel you with us and I would have given anything to really see your smiling face and hug you. I miss being able to do that. So much is going on in the family now and it seems everyone could use your guidance I hope they feel your presence and are guided through their challenges. Christmas is coming right around the corner and we will all be together...
