Not sure what to say?

Five years already? I realize time has no meaning for you now but for me, I live with the memories until we meet again. I think of you often and wonder what you're up to. Are you and Bill hunting? You still playing guitar instead of a harp? Playing pranks on people? I wish you could let me know what he's like in person, being in his presence. I guess I'll know soon enough. I wonder what you'd think if you could see what the world is like now. You always had an opinion about it. Idk. Just...

You will always be my hero. I'll like you forever, I'll love you for always. As long as I'm living, my daddy you'll be! Til we meet again, dad!

I love you so much Daddy!!! Forever and ever til we meet again~ RIP

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Bodenhofer family,
You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. It was a pleasure to know Brother Bodenhofer and serve with him in church callings. He was kind, fun, and quick to share his testimony. Much love to you all.
