Hey Dad, it's your birthday today and I bet you and your pals in heaven are just kicking back, celebrating and sippin a brewski and watching this bunch down here flail away at life. I always remember the monkey (chimp) cards we sent you on your birthday. What a good sport. We loved to tease you and you loved the teasing. We miss you. What a huge hole you left when you left us. We miss you. Happy birthday....your son, Bing

Hey Pop! I know you have met Curtis by now and things are not the same around heaven anymore. I guess that's why the Lord took him home, to liven things up a bit. He was your kind of guy Dad...full of himself, smart and compassionate beyond anything you can imagine. Any one needing a lift up, Curtis was there, and that includes animals as well as people. I pray you and Curtis put in a word with the Lord to comfort his Mother in her unconsolable grief, a grief I cannot concieve the depths of....

Dear Dad,
We miss you terribly. We feel your spirit around us at all times.

My Dear Husband, Father, and Friend,
You left our home on February 6,
2002, never to return. I feel your presence everywhere, through the house and around me.Dolly calls your name each day. Little "Missy" is grieving to. She thinks you are somewhere in the house.She looks for you around the yard,as if you will appear.She listens for familiar sounds at the front door.
A key turning and you. Then she walks away sadly and mournful.We miss you so much Claude; your...

Hey Pops. It's the first fathers day without you big guy, and your absence sadly enough is helping me understand the real meaning of being a father, of the hard to define quality you modeled for us all. It wasn't just supporting your family and giving them the material things they wanted, but it was building them walls, and a floor, and a roof in a world of terrible uncertainty. Out of a vaccum you provided unwavering certainty, and direction. You listened to us Dad and you showed many people...

Dear Dad,
Mom and I have been spending much time together, I bet you know.
Spent Mother's Day weekend together.
You know you are the topic of most
of our conversations. We imagine
you are resting and at peace. We miss you so much, it's hard to describe.We spent your birthday
together and brought you beautiful
flowers. We watched the squirrels
play and doves peck for food. And
all we spoke about was you. Mom and
I send our deepest love....

Happy Birthday Gram-pa!!!!!!
I'll have a cold one for ya,
Buddy...
Love Big Dee
