Not sure what to say?

I would like to say a few words about my Dad. First, life is not the same without him here, I miss him everyday. Second, he showed me so many good examples to live by. He was strong, couragous, loving, kind and knew how to have a good time and there were many. We have lots and lots of happy memories, I will always think of him each time I eat ice cream or hot dogs.
You were an awesome Dad and I love you very much!!

This is Betsy Halladay giving my thanks to the wonderful family we have.They have all been there when we needed them.I loved my husband Dave very much, he was always sweet to me.I'm thanful for the good 63 yrs or more of good life we had todether.Thank everyone.

Dear Grandpa,
I thought I was ready to say goodbye. This has taught me that you are never ready to say goodbye. I miss so many things about you. I had no idea how much of you is in my daily life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't desperatly miss you. I am comforted to know I will see you again. Until then, if anyone gives you trouble up there you ask em if they know how to plant tu-lips.
I love you, take care!!

Grandpa, I will miss you so much. I have so many fun memories of you. Thanksgiving at you house was always a blast, you never got mad at us when all the grandkids would put olives on our fingers and eat them one by one. You made us laugh at the dinner table by sticking out your false teeth. You always let me have a bowl of ice cream before dinner. I will always be your squeakie. I love you, Bernice

Grandpa Halladay, I will miss you. You were always soo much fun to be around and I always looked forward to being with you. I have so many fun memories of you. No matter how many times you tryed to hand me your false teeth, I always fell for it. You always had the funniest and curious limricks... they made everyone laugh. Everytime my husband Greg grabs my knee, it reminds me of you. You will always be the sunshine of the Halladay family and will forever be missed. I love you with all of my...

HE WAS SOMETHING.

Dear Betsy and family: I am sure my mother (Helen Vincent-Nielson) was at Heaven's gate to greet Dave when he arrived. Betsy, my mother loved you with all her heart, and told us many stories of your friendship when you were young girls. Please accept condolences to your family on behalf of my sister, Wendy McCleery (Jeff), and myself. We thank you and Dave for being such true friends to our mother. She treasured her friendship with the two of you. I moved to Fla. a few months ago and love it...

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO THE HALLADAY FAMILY. I HAVE HEARD MANY GREAT STORIES OF HIS HUMOR, WIT AND DETERMINATION FROM HIS DAUGHTER SANDY. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.
