Dear Joannie,
I'm sure today, Father's Day is an especially difficult day. I tried to call Deb earlier. But by the grace of God, I could be walking in yours and Deb's shoes. I hope you will find strength from each other. I am thinking about the two of you and keep you in my prayers. May your special memories of your husband and brother sustain you and one day enable you to find joy and smile. God bless and keep you and the rest of your family. Your Brigham Friend always, Laura

HONEY, ALTHOUGH A YEAR HAS PASSED, IT SEEMS ONLY LIKE YESTERDAY. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH AND I THINK OF YOU EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE. I SEE YOUR FACE IN EVERYTHING I DO. SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THAT DAY I LOST YOU, BUT I'M SURE YOU KNOW THAT. I DIDN'T THINK MY HEART COULD BE BROKEN MORE THAN ONCE BUT IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHY. MY BROTHER JOE MUST BE SITTING RIGHT BESIDE YOU. I MISS YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH. I ALSO BELIEVE YOU BOTH ARE WITH MY DAD AND I TRY TO FIND...

HONEY,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW LIFE FOR ME CHANGED FOREVER THE DAY WE MET. I COULD NOT KNOW THEN HOW ONE PERSON COULD HAVE SUCH A PROFOUND IMPACT ON ME.
YOU HAVE CHANGED HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY HOPES, MY DREAMS, MY FEARS, MYSELF. YOU HAVE MADE ME A BETTER PERSON AND FOR THAT AND ALL THE MEMORIES, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
I MISS YOU, JOANIE

Dad,
It has been 8 months that you have been gone and not a day goes by that i don't think about you. I MISS YOU AND ALWAYS WILL.

I want to thank you for everything you did for all of us ,marrying my mom,taking care of us(fixing our teeth and put shoes on our feet) ha ha ha and never thinking of us as "step children" but always as your children. I hope i can be half the dad that you made the choice to be with us ,if so then i'm doing pretty good.

You know...

“What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.”

Dad,
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of your bright smile, feel your warm hugs and laugh to myself as I hear your quirky jokes. You always had a way of making me feel special. I never had a doubt that you loved me as one of your daughters. I have always had great respect for you and have always admired you as more than a father-in-law but as my DAD. I will always wear your necklace close to my heart as a...

Joannie & Family -- George and I always enjoyed you and Mike's company whenever we were together. Mike was fun and loved life. He showed it in everything he did, everything he said and in everything he did with you and his family. Being his wife for 31 years, it's up to you now to continue that strong unique love of life Mike had for you and your family. It's hard, I know, but you can do it. Mike remains in my prayers every night and I'm really am so happy that I heard about naming the...
