Not sure what to say?

To the Conway Family: You do not know me, but have maybe heard my name in conversations at times. I am Julie's friend, Anita. Julie and her family have become my family and therefore I feel that you all have become my family also; as we are all God's children. Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
My heart goes out to you all at this time in your lives. I, too, have experienced what you have just passed through....It leaves an emptiness that, in time, will be filled by warm and precious...

Dear Dad, I will miss your visits to Florida which were often and all of the fun we had together. I love that we always found something to laugh about. I have many great memories and will share them with family and friends. I believe that if you didn't have cancer you would have lived to 100 or beyond as your will was so strong but I am so very grateful for the years we had as a family. Life is a gift, and you were ours. I will live life to the fullest and keep you always in my heart. Thank...

Dear Dad, I will always remember the wonderful visits we shared together every time you came to Florida, which was often. Thank you so much for all the beautiful memories I have and especially for making them so fun! The stories I have I will always treasure and share with family and friends. It was hard when you and mom left to go home then but your leaving us now is so very difficult. I will miss you very much and will think about you often. Life is a gift and you were ours, I will live...

To Sally and the Conway Family,

Dean and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Your Aunt Eileen from California just told us this evening.

Jim was a magnificent husband and Father. He was such a role model to all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

The large family you have will help you heal over time.

Love,

Estelle (Your cousin) and Dean Kirschner

Dad, it will take time to get used to you not being on this earth with us remaining, your spirit will live on, you will always be in our heart forever. Thank you for loving me all of my life and not ever judging me, always forgiving me for the mistakes I have made along the way. You have helped me by showing me how to be the parent I have become. I will miss your big Jim hugs every time I came home to visit. I will miss the phone calls, always encouraging me in my life, the letters you...

DAD, I MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY. YOU WERE SUCH A PRESENCE IN ALL OUR LIVES. I WLL MISS OUR LUNCH DATES WITH YOU AND PEGGY . YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT LIVING AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE. I HOPE YOU ARE WITH ALL YOUR LOVED ONES AND LOOKING DOWN ON US. KATHY

Big Jim, when I came into this family 20 years ago, you welcomed me with open arms & never let go. Thank you for making me feel so loved and part of your family, especially in those early Westfield days when I knew no one else. As our own family grew, it was such a blessing to have Grandpa & Grandma nearby, always so helpful and happy to see us. I especially cherished our Jessie Lane dinners, when conversation & banter continued long after the meal was over. It was so sad to see you leave...

To the Conway family, sorry to learn of the passing of your dad. He was a customer at the UPS Store when it was open in westfield. I always enjoyed conversing with him. The pictures of the family and talking of his experiences during the war. Also the family vacations. May all the fond memories keep your fathers spirit alive.
