What can I say about a man I've known for 40 years and really never knew? Had you changed and I was too bitter and blind to recognize it? I truly regret not seeing you for the person you had become and only seeing the man that you were as I was growing up. I am grateful that for a short time I was able to let my guard down and see you as my father and not just as my dad. I wish I had taken the time to notice so that we could of had some time to get to know each other for the people we had...

I love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!

DEAR POPPOP,

I love you so much! You were my favorite PopPop because when I came off the bus your car will be there sometimes and my other poppop didnt do what you did and i miss when you sneak the candy out of the candy bowl. I hope you have a good time in heaven PopPop. I miss you and I love you so much! Love your grandson J.D.

He was the best pop-pop ever! He would do anything for me. Every time I spoke to him or see him,he would make me laugh. I would laugh even if it wasn't funny. He always used to sneek candy and me and J.D would tell my mom on him, but he got away with it. I would NEVER replace him. He used to play around with me,even though they weren't funny,I pretend to laugh. Pop-Pop would always steal my baby and he would hug her,or sniff her nose,but I would get her back. I would never change anything...

Dear David,

We will go tomorrow to put you in your final resting place. And these are words I wish I never would have to say:

You are always in my thoughts, every minute of every day.
For the past 4 years we've had a life of love and sharing, it was better than okay.
I loved you then as I love you now,
please make a spot for me.
Though we wont know what the future holds I just want to be by thee.
May God keep you on his side for...

Rest in peace. I am sorry that our relationship was the way that it was, especially at the end. I wish we could have gotten to know each other again. You will be missed.

Although I never met you, I feel like I know you. I have been blessed to have your daughter as my best friend. She has shared many stories with me about you - how she LOVED it when you would take her into work with you on Saturdays, ride the elevator for what seemed like forever up to your office. I wanted you to know - she is a daughter to be proud of (and I'm sure that you are,) she's kind, generous, and the biggest heart I've ever known. Despite the past, I know you will be looking down...

May you rest in peace.

I remember at holidays when we all used to get together, it was a great time. Especially the times where you would stare at me as I took my first bite into the food. As I took my first bite you would always say to me "human bites". Now at family functions I will have to tell myself "human bites". As people get older they eventually get more distant from one another, I mostly regret not staying as close to you as I was when I was a little girl. I wish I would have spoken to you more. You are a...
