Not sure what to say?

Daddy, today marks your ten year anniversary.Of you being gone. There's not a day that passes by that I do not think about you. I guess being a daddy's girl.I always think of you all the time. It's been hard and bittersweet, but I hope that you're watching from above. I made some changes in my life. And working towards new goals. Last november, I got my high school diploma and graduated with the class of 2023. That same month I started college as well. I pray I hope that you are proud of me....

Feb 2020 "i will get through it"

Daddy, it has been 5 years and 9 months you left us. I have been through some battles since you left me. Even before hand. But without a doubt in my soul or mind I'd go through it again to see even just your face again. Words can not express how i feel, but I'm trying my best to get through this. I am glad you aren't here to see this pandemic. I know your body was laid to rest but your spirit surrounds us all always. I will always love you. I ask that you keep watch over us and hope you and...

Mr. Weaver, my lil Sister Patty tells me this guest book tribute was arranged by you. I cannot tell you how much this dedicated forum means to our family. Thank you.

Dad it has been three years since you fell asleep. We continue to keep the faith and serve Jehovah God with great glee. The road is cramped and the journey is not easy, but we persevere in prayer. Thank you for the faith you instilled in us. For it sustains us each and every day. Love Dorcas

Although it has almost been three years, I haven't said anything yet... but I want to now... my grandfather, Jerry, may the heavens open up for you while the smile on Jehovah's face brings you welcome. You may not hear me now... but if you see this then I know that your spirit is truthfully blessed among these years of life. As we saw our Lord and Savior take you to the Promised Lands that one day... We knew you were an angel a long time ago, may your soul rest easily... and in Jesus Christ...

It has almost been two years since our beloved father fell asleep in the memorial tomb. Just when you thought you had heard all you know about Dad, along comes another friend with an especially touching tale.

It goes a little something like this...While working at Metric in the 70s, Jerry discovered that the co. planned to adopt this new type of retirement plan--401K.

According to the friend, Jerry was practically preaching to all employees to jump on board for the matching...

Daddy...each day goes by you are always in my thoughts. I hear you speak to me but it isnt the same. For you are not physically here; i know you are in the heavens and i know we will see each other again. I cant help but to count the days...weeks...n months that you have been gone.
