I can't believe it's been 9 years already. I miss you like crazy all the time, Dad. I love you....so much. :(

Four days and you will have been gone seven years. It feels like just yesterday that your brother Bob kissed you on the forehead, and you went to heaven. I had a dream last night that it was Thanksgiving and you were here again, and that we were all together . . . my sisters, your daughters, everyone. I miss you so much, and it doesn't get easier with time like people say. Everyone who knew you is blessed.

By the way, I live around the corner from the house now . . . such great...

Your birthday is almost here and I can feel an emptiness in my stomach. I love and miss you. I still do the Light the Night walk every year in your memory . . . this next one, a big group of my co-workers and I are going to do it. :D I think of you constantly, and I know you are watching over each and every one of us.

It has been forever since I have posted in this group. If you were still on earth with us, I'm sure we would be up in the north woods at Plum Lake on our annual 2 week camping trip. I'd be up at the butt crack of dawn fishing with you. I miss you like crazy. You were an amazing man, and I love you so much.

Love you, Papa #2. :)

Unbelieveable 6 years have passed...miss you as much as I did the day you joined Jesus...Love you Dad!

Hi Dad just saying Happy spring and summer and that we miss you very much.I really hope you are resting in peace and feel no more pain....I love you and miss you soo very much.always Linda

Christmas always makes me feel like something is missing, and that something is you. No waking up to the smell of you making coffee as we all run downstairs to the tree. No AMAZING Christmas ham dinner that you cooked. The holidays are so empty for me, and I always will feel that way. I know you're up in Heaven, healthy and smiling down on your daughters, but I still wish you were here, as selfish as that may sound. I feel pretty cheated that I didn't know you for as long as I would have...

It is almost Christmas and I always hope that one of these years you will pop in and tell us it was all a joke or a dream..I love you Dad today more than yesterday..but always and forever!!!Miss you with all my heart.xoxoxo.Linda

The holidays are very hard without you, but I can feel you here with us. I miss all the desserts we used to make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I miss the one time we made peanut clusters and put them in the Jeep to chill them since it was cold enough out. Hahaha. Snow is starting to come, keep us all safe. :D

Love you,
