Not sure what to say?

Hey grandpa, its your first born grandson. Today is December 20, 2018. It was just your birthday a couple of days ago. I miss you so much, just like it was yesterday;especially this time of year. It still hirts me so bad sometimes because of all we went through together. But im doing really good now. I have a girlfriend/wife of 13 years, my own place, and I try to take care of everybody else. You have very big shoes to fill grandpa. Im a lot like you, more than people realize. You had such a...

Almost 13 years you've been gone, Eddie. I love you, I miss you, I long to see you and Mom and Dad again. Everyone from the first family that I was born into, my Mom Blanche Holler Harkless, my Dad Edward Harkless Sr., my brother Edward Harkless Jr. are all gone. I miss all of you and love all of you so much. May God hold you in the Palm of His Hands until we meet again. Your baby sister, Eilene

I remember so many good times we all had years ago and I so wish we would have stayed in touch . You rest in the arms of God now but I will keep you always in my heart my dear friend ..Janice (Artz) Malott

Well Dad, we buried gramma today. I know that you two are already united again. She missed you so very much, but she knew what was waiting for her when she went home to be with the Lord. Everybody. And now she is waiting with everybody for the rest of us.

As you already know, things have been really tough on Wayne this past year or better. I just wanted to ask you in writing to use your "inside connection", if you would please, and see about getting the "Kid" some help. ...

Its been two years.......I feel like you've been gone a life time.

Were you real?
Was you here?
Did you die?
In our dreams we talk with you.
Three girls cry for you.
We talk about you.
We miss you.
We remember.

Thought I saw you today....You were standing in the sun and you turned away.
I knew it couldnt be...But my heart believed. O it seems like there's something every day. How could you be so far away..... When you're still here. When I need you you're not hard to find. You're still here... I can see you in my babies eyes..... and I laugh and cry.

Had a dream last night.. That you came to me on silver wings. I flew away with you and painted the sky...I woke up wondering what...

My Fathers love
by Sherry
As I think back on my childhood I get a magical happy sad feeling. Is there a word for that? Some of it is hazy like looking through an oil smeared lens. Other memories are as clear and sharp as a sunny day at the swim club. I wish for just one day I could go back.
Some moments are inblazened in this child's mind. Some are Bits and pieces. Fire trucks racing out the doors with Daddy.
A young man watching a stormy sky. Strong hands and deep...

Eddie, I never met you but you must have been one great guy.I am ofering my condonlences on behalf of your daughter, Sherry. She is a wonderful person and she is also a product of you. Also judging from your profession of a firefighter above all tells me that you were kind and caring, there to give two helping hands and strong and upright. Because I know how firefighters are... God bless you, Eddie - your family and friends also. Lenda Palmer

I'll never forget the day my husband took me over to meet Uncle Ed and Aunt Jeanne. Right away I was made to feel at home, comfortable. When I got to know Larry better and his family, it was Uncle Ed who would say "When are you going to marry her?" He always made me feel a part of the family. His love I will never forget - I only saw it more through the years -his death affected me more than I ever thought possible - because his life did and I didn't even realize it til then. I'm glad I...
