Dad, I miss our time together... it was too short. Always remember, you are so special to me. Till we meet again, here is a candle to share.

Dad, ever in my thoughts, miss you so, ever in my heart, know we will meet again, what a wonderful day that will be....
Love, Bluebird....

Dad, Simply saying, "I miss you".....still. You will always be the BEST Father-in-law/Dad any girl could be blessed with. I will look for you, please be waiting at the gate when I get there. Thank you. As ever, your BB:)

Dearest BB, Somehow this memorial popped up this morning, and it hit me like a truck. Another one of the World´s Greatest Generation has left us. I have had the honor and privilege of knowing many of these men, one of which was my father, another was Col Bridges. I was the son in law of Col Paul Canant, so there were many times spent talking to Col Bridges and many stories told. Deep freeze, etc, too many stories to remember and lots of funny ones too! Although it has been 8 years,...

Dad, I can still hear you whistling coming down the hall and saying" good morning, Bluebird"...only today it would be Puddle Duck due to the rain...haha. I miss you, Dad, thank you for being the best dad-in-law anyone could ever ask for!!! Gone With The Wind aired while back, I thought of us watching it until midnight...until we meet again, sending love and a light to light my way to find you. always BB

Dad, Every day you are with us, when I see the birds in our back yard, when it rains I hear you say, we need rain so the birds will find food in the grass, when I use your knive, the ladle and big spoon.....on and on.... memories...wonderful memories.
