This was the anniversary of our dear mother, Mary's passing and you came to me in my dreams, Doug! I loved the wonderful hug you gave me, as you told me that you'd always be around for me and our brother, Bill. Being your only sister was always such an honor, Doug! My memories of you as we three grew up are endless and lovely. I'm so very grateful for those wonderful times. We were fortunate enough to have such loving, kind parents to guide us through our lives. Being brought up in the...

Missing you tremendously today dad. 6 years seems like an eternity.

Dad

Been a little while since i've posted to you, but it doesn't mean I don't think of you daily. Today, you are really on my mind.

Love you dad

Hi there Dad...I can't believe it has been 3 years to the day since you left us. We all miss you so much. I regret not getting the kids over to you to get to know them better. They have grown so much and I wish you could see them today. They would make you so darn proud! You are in my dreams and in my thoughts every single day. I love you Dad. :(

August 19th again, Happy 60th birthday Daddy! Miss you,

It's still weird having special occasions like your birthday, fathers day, and any other holiday go by without being able to call you. For a split second, ever so briefly, I feel like picking up the phone to talk to you. Today is one of those days. I have the ability to wish you happy fathers day this day. I know you read these from where you are...I miss you so much! Love Fan

DOUG , IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR SINCE YOU LEFT US. EVERY DAY I THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU. I REMEMBER SOMETIMES WITH GUILT
HOW I SAW YOUR NAME ON CALLER I.D. AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE CALL, PROBABLY CONCERNING ONE OF OUR KIDS OR GRANDKIDS, BUT YOU KNOW I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HEAR YOUR VOICE SAYING SHERLE AGAIN.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
SHERREL

Funny...this is my neice's birthday and the first anniversary of your death. I suppose that in a way you've moved on and been born again, just into another realm. I will try to look at it as your first birthday. I love you dad.

Almost a year later...it doesn't get easier. This time last year I had just found out that you were terminally ill. Everything about this season reminds me...it's the weather, the smell, the stars, the crispness of the night air. This week is hard. I appreciate Bart and Tami for sponsoring this guest book so I can post my thoughts.
