Not sure what to say?

Here it is 10 years gone by. Miss you so much. Think of you often. Can´t wait to see you again. Love your daughter

On this 9th anniversary of your passing. Daddy oh how I miss you so much. Love you.

Thinking of you yet again, Uncle David. Oh, how we miss you. Eric is having his own recovery right now from open heart surgery and your perseverance and strength from God gives me hope today. I love you and I love what you stood for!

Cheryl,
So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My Dad,
As I sit here at the computer, thinking back, all the times I did not go to a family function, my heart hurts cause that is a time I can not have back. But I do remember all the fun times I had as a kid, going fishing with you and Paul Munn, hunting that 1 or 2 times freezing my toes off. You taking me to the warehouses near our house to ride the go cart you build for me. Being so surpised on my 16th birthday when I could finally drive my 70 camaro you build for me at Quality...

Mr. Short,
I know of you through your son, Dave. And it is through him that I feel your loss.
We all struggle with the thought that we are spending our few years on this Earth wisely, so that our presence is felt in future generations. It goes back to that universal search for purpose within us all.
With that idea in mind, I commend you for raising such a fine son, who never quits and will leave a great legacy in his own right.
I know you are smiling down now, as you can...

Best Paw-Paw Ever! This is Zak with his grandpa.

Dad,
I can't believe this day has come. You had an uncanny way of telling a joke or a story. I will miss that. Thank you for all that you did for me and my two Boys. Please watch over us as we journey thru Life. We love and will miss you dearly. Until we meet again.

Your Son,
-Little David

I can remember Uncle David expressing his opinions. It was entertaining to hear him. For sure, he had something to say. Although I wasn't around him all that much in the latter days of his earthly life, I have a heartfelt notion that he was ready to depart and cease from suffering. I will be praying for the loved ones still remaining. I know Jesus can give them a peace beyond human understanding, and I believe He can keep us strong as we finish our days....
