George W. Stapleton Sr.

Grandpa, Today would have been your birthday.. I'm sure Momma would have been making you the peach cobbler you loved! I'm finally going to have my first baby next week. I know the other 2 are in heaven with you. I wish you were here when my little Peyton girl is born.. but I know you will be watching over us all when she arrives. I miss you so much..

Daddy,
Thinking of you today as I seem to everyday. In just a couple of months you will have been gone 7 years... Sometimes it seems like it has been longer but at other times it seems like it couldn't possibly be that long. I miss you so much. Hearing your laughter and telling your jokes etc. Jessica is going to have a baby he/she is due in November. I am so excited about it, but yet sad that you will miss this wonderful chapter in our lives. You are always with all of us.

Grandpa, I was thinking of you today! I miss you so much. The Holidays are upon us and I'm wishing you were here to celebrate with us. You are thought of often a loved so very much!

IAM SURE BY NOW YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO SEE MOTHER AND DAD AGAIN TOO AND ALL THE REST OF THE FAMILY. WITH ALL OF YOU THERE...

Daddy,
Happy Birthday! I am missing you today as I always do. It seems like forever since I have hugged you and was able to tell you in person how much I love you and just how proud I am to be your daughter.
I think you would be proud of me for the choices I have made in my life. I am still living in the house, it is my palace and Georgie calls it. I am so proud of it. Every where I look a bit of you seems to shine through. You are always in my heart and in my thoughts since...

HELLO USA DAD,SO NICE TO MEET WITH YOU.I DONT WANT YOU TO WORRY,I WANT YOU TO KNOW JAMIE & JESSICA ARE IN MY SAFE KEEPING.JAMIE TOLD ME ONE MORNING THAT YOU WOULD APPROVED OF ME BEING HER FRIEND.WE HAVE A FRIENDSHIP LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.WE MEET UP EVERYDAY TO CHAT & NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU INCASE TOMORROW NEVER COMES.YOUR HEART WOULD GLOW WITH PRIDE TO SEE WHAT A GOOD JOB THE GIRLS ARE DOING WITH THEIR LIVES.I CANT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW DEAR JAMIE IS TO MINE & MY FAMILIES...

It's been well over 2 years since you left us, grandpa. I was thinking of you today, as I do many days. I miss you so much. Sometimes it STILL seems so unreal that you are gone. It seems I should be able to drive up to the garage in Markleville and find you in there working. You'd sit down with me with your coffee, offer me a coke and a Little Debbie snack. You were such a strong man to me...you seemed unbreakable, especially when I was growing up. I remember the time I stepped on a nail...
