Pappy: I can't believe I will never be able to give you big hugs that used to make you smile or hold your hand or touch you again. All the conversations and laughter and love and only the relationship that a father and daughter could have - I had with you.

In my mind, I see you bellied up to the bar with a cigarette in your hand, rosy cheeks and a big smile - I can even hear your laugh. We might as well have another cuz the car won't start. I love you and will forever miss...

Poppa Ba Dappa....

Dad;

I was there with you when your Dad (my Grandfather) passed away. I can't believe it is only 10 short years later that you've left us to join him. It hasn't really hit me yet that you aren't here anymore.

Since you've passed I've been trying so hard to remember the Dad I knew before the Parkinson's and Dementia took most of you away. But I was finding it difficult.

Then, just yesterday I caught myself saying something you would have said and I realized...

Jeff,
The quality of friend you are to me speaks of the character of your father. Without having met him, I know he was a great man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. All my love,

I have known Dave as a classmate and friend for many years. I want to send my sincere sympathy to your family in the loss of a terrific person. Dave has always been great.
