Not sure what to say?

Dad,
I miss you so much. I thought that I could be the strong person you taught me to be, but I feel like I'm letting you down. For very selfish reasons, I'm missing you so very much and have a lot of hatred in my heart. I'm struggling to understand why you were taken from us so unexpectedly and so young. I remember the talk we had last Thanksgiving morning and it replays often in my mind. The "what ifs" are constantly in my mind. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you....

Dear Brother,
It seems strange to talk about you this way. It's tragic that you were taken from us at such a young age. The only inner peace is knowing that you died peacefully in your sleep.

Oh, the stories and the memories that you, me and Patty have. Some of those special memories are: The houses on James, Roselawn, and Skillman and the house in Alex - all of the having both the good and the bad times; going to the Midco Register and Plastic Inc. softball games; the...

Dad,
Your rememberance said it best that you provided a lifestyle for Kim and I that most people would envy. I'm sure I said it, but I feel as though it hasn't been said enough.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Heather and with your family. I am very sorry for your loss.

I have worked with Heather for a few years now and met her father once when he came into the office. I am so sorry to hear about his passing and my thoughts are with Heather and her family.

Although I never got to meet Mr. Gilbertson I can imagine the caliber of human the world lost based solely on knowing and working with his daughter Heather. My heart goes out to your family as do my prayers. Now more than ever look to each other. There you will find memories, comfort, and love, a love that will continue to grow and flurish in the memory of a great man who will always be a part of it! God Bless.

Gilbertson Family, I work with Heather at Nystrom, Inc. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
