Not sure what to say?

Isn’t it funny the things we remember that define our relationships with one another. I believe the only reason I loved cornflakes was because of you-I mean, what kid wants to eat plain cornflakes. I was scared of corn fields because I was convinced corn people existed-whatever that means. You had the softest grass I had ever walked barefoot on and for whatever reason the fact that you had a shed was just so cool. Still to this day I don’t understand the game of football but growing up I...

Sue -
I didn't know your dad, but I know he was a good man (because you are his daughter) and he had good taste (because he loved a very special peanut brittle and had the good sense not to share it).
I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Dear Susan, Rich, Eric, Jeanine, Marybeth, and kids,
So sorry to hear about Uncle George's passing. We'll miss him terribly. I remember him always smiling, laughing, and joking, so that's the picture I'll always keep in mind. The memories he leaves are ones of so much love for and devotion to family---what a priceless gift to us and a wonderful tribute to him! Peace to him and blessings to you all.

Dad-thanks...grilled cheese sandwiches and tamales on a cold and snowy Saturday afternoon...for trips to the hardware store...for fishing...your quick wit...teaching me how to hold a hammer...Raceway Park...puttering in the garage...english muffin pizzas...watching family classics on sunday...the talks in the car...and always telling me that if you try your hardest, no one can ask anything more of you. -peace

Susan, Eric and Richard,

I wish I could have met your Dad.
I've enjoyed hearing all the wonderfully funny anecdotes about him all these years.

My prayers are with you,

Dear Susan, Rich, & Eric,

We are sorry about the loss of your Dad. He was a very important part of our lives for so many years. God Bless!

Uncle Harry & Aunt Rita

Susan and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad (grandpa). I know how hard it is, especially after the loss of your mother. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Grandpa,
I will always remember your smile, humor and the laughs we shared together. You always let me help you in the vegetable garden during my summer visits and made the best corn on the cob. I will miss you immensely but most importantly, I will be thinking of you always. I love you.

Dear Cousins,
