Dad, it's been tough dealing with you, Zay and just life in general. But I set your bed up the other night. It is now mine, and in a strange way, comforting. I so wish we had more time, but God has his plan, what is, I'll never understand. I do know that Zays death sent you to us for the brief time it was! And now you give him kisses and hugs for me, :( Thank You! Love and miss, Kim

Dad,
It's been 5 months to the day and I'm not any better than when I said goodbye. I'm missing you more than anyone knows. There's a constant painful bulge in my heart and it won't go away. Your in my mind, heart, and soul. I know you feel better now, and I'm glad in knowing this, but I'm not moving forward from it. I'll be out to see you today, just like every month. Father's Day now falls on the 31st of every month for me. Missing you terribly, love your son, Yo Richie!

Dad,
I miss you so much! I'm glad we had time together like we did, but unfortunately I wanted more. So many years went by in between & I was so looking forward to the times ahead. I know you are at peace and are in a good place. Please know you have always had my love and my heart! It is a little comforting knowing I have you with the others now looking down on us and watching over us. You will always be in my heart. I love you!
Your daughter,
Beth Ann

My husband and I have known Bear for more than 15 years as he used to come to our establishment, JD Sundaes. Most recently he was a regular at our Ice Cream Shop on Sitgreaves Street. He would buy Milkshakes for the children of friends. We miss him very much. He was a kind man. Frank and Dawn Miller, The Ice Cream Junction

Eleanor, Carl & Family,
We met Bear and Eleanor over 37 years ago, at a tiny place in P'Burg called the "Hole in the Wall." They were kind and generous and everyone loved them. We remained good friends for quite a few years and then, our lives took different turns. Bear and Eleanor were always in our thoughts and memories, but it wasn't until the last year and a half when we were searching to find either one of them. We went back to the old homestead, but there was no answer. ...

I thank Zavey for bringing you to us for the short time we had. (you gave some meaning to his death for me) Please take good care of him and Frankie till the day I can be with you.
I LOVE YOU!
