I love you papaw! love,

I love you papaw, and I will never forget you. I miss you so much and wish you were still here with us. I find myself thinking of you often and crying, remembering how much I love you! I know you are in a MUCH better place than this crazy world and you are dancing and worshipping God and having a wonderful time though... so I am happy for you. Happy for you, but often times sad for us. I am a bit jealous... you are seeing Jesus face to face!!! He has wiped away all your tears and pain. How...

Pawpaw, thanks for being a great role model, and telling us all about your coon and deer hunting stories. You had a great since of humor, making us laugh. When things got hard for you, you faced it with your humor. We will always remember our pawpaw. "Jobert & Rosh; Ick & Stick, Estep boys", always. We love you. PS. We can only imagine the nicknames you will be giving, Moses, David & Noah.

PawPaw,
I will cherish the memories that I have with you. From the famous hunting knife to you spanking us at poker. You also taught me alot about life; like how sometimes we have to sacrifice ourselves to help someone else. Though I hate to see you gone, I didn't want you to suffer anymore. So save a place for me at the table.

Dad,
I miss you so much. I will miss our many talks about The Lord and life. I learned so much from you. I will cherish my many memories of the times we traveled and sang together. Thank you so much for all you did for me. I will never forget the things you taught me about The Lord and life in general. I will tell my grandchildren about their Papa Baker. We will never forget you and your special place in our family. I look forward to the day I will see you again.
Love,Your...

Daddy,
I'm glad I got to spend the last few hours of your life with you. There was no other place I would have rather been. I do have to say that I miss you, much! We grew so much closer together in the past 5 months. I wish we hadn't waited so long. I thank you for sharing that special part of your heart with me during that time. I will cherish it forever. I love and miss you. Your baby girl, Kim.

Dear Dad:
I sure miss you, life will never be the same with you not here, Each passing day has brought much pain, But with God's grace my strength remains, I sure miss you but heaven's sweeter with you there. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, You are the best! Love, Dianne
