Not sure what to say?

My Dad was a great father because he loved me and my brother and sister without question. Now that I'm a mother, I know that this is the most important thing about parenthood. It sounds so easy, but so many people in this world seem to question how much they are loved and how they fit into our society. I was my fathers Baby - and that's a wonderful thing to be.

I went through a lot of emotions after Dad's death (just like you read about in textbooks I suppose).
I would look...

How do you express how much you miss your father. One year has passed and I think of my dad in a wonderful place with God and with his loved ones - his mother and father. Sometimes, though, I still want to pick up the phone and hear his voice, his strength, his love. My dad was such a wonderful strong force in my life and I miss him so much. I dream of him often and pray for his peaceful sweet soul often. Thank you for all your love and devotion dad. I love you and miss you.

Even though I was his step-daughter, he ALWAYS called me his daughter. And he was my Papa George!

No one has every loved my Mom, like he did. But about 2 ½ years ago another little lady stole his heart – Jasmine (or Jaz-Mine, as he called her.) I’ve never seen another person light up the way he did when Jasmine entered the room. I laugh out loud when I think back to the day that he tried to teach Jasmine to crawl – by crawling around on the floor himself. They had the most...

My "honey" was the most wonderful husband, dad, step-dad and granddad that someone could every be "Blessed" to have--every day is empty but I know that he is with those that he loved and missed--I too am so proud of his children the day of the funeral. They truly spoke from their hearts and he is so proud of them--George was a blessing to know his smile could light up a room and he never met a stranger--he and Tina went to Walmart before Christmas and even though he was in a wheelchair he...

George, It has taken me a little while to write this, but I am now.
You would have been so proud of your children and Brenda. They had a celebration of your life. Each child talked. you know what , they described you to the tee. The pastor said you were so friendly that you was the offical greeter without pay at the walmarts. Now I know why you was always telling me you saw an old friend or people we knew at Walmarts. We had wonderful parents, and I had a wonderful brother. I know that...

My heart is with each and everyone of you. I have been in the place where all of you are now. I lost my father, husband and brother. Now I have lost my uncle. I remember him in the swing when I was little reading his books, or getting dressed for one of his many duties. You know I tried to remember one of the sweetest things I could about him and a lot came to mind. The one that stood out was the way he called my memaw " Mother". I loved that never momma or mom always "Mother".
You know...

First I will have to say I did not ever have the pleasure of meeting Georges family but I am sure Brenda, you and the children are precious people. I am sure George only had the best of both. A loving
wife and children. He was so proud of you. I feel the deepest sympathy
for all of you. George I only new thru MY best friend, his only sister Emo Jean. She always spoke so highly and lovinly about her brother and every time I meet him he was so nice. I am sure your loss is so great but...
