Even though it's been 16 years since you left, it's still not easy for me. I miss you as much as I ever have if not more. You would be so proud of your grandchildren, they are turning into beautiful adults. I'm so sad that you didn't get to meet Jocelyn, she's the youngest granddaughter, you would have loved her too. It's so hard being without you and seeing that silly smile that you had and you trying not to laugh. I love you more than ever and can't wait to see you again. Hugs and kisses....

Happy Anniversary Honey. It would have been 46 years ago on this day that we were married. We were both so young and hopeful. We had many ups and downs but we stuck together through it all. There were many times when I wasn't sure how things would turn out, but it did in the end. I so wish you were here to share with me our beautiful daughters and are wonderful grandchildren. Zachary has turned into a remarkable young man, Emily is doing so good in school and Allie has improved so much in...

Hi daddy,
Tonight was a good night. I think this year might be different. I miss you soo much daddy. It is suppose to get easier and it's not especially certain little things. Dean has alot of mannerisms that you use to have. It makes me feel good in some ways but makes me miss you that much more. I have seen a few Preston trailers around late;y and brings back alot of memories from when I was young. Tomorrow Dean and I will be going to the cemetery to take the traditional tree that I make...

Happy Birthday Honey, I have had a real problem this year for your birthday. It's almost as hard as it was when I had to celebrate the first birthday without you on your birthday. I thought it was suppose to get easier, but not this year. I know you know how much I miss you and wish you were here. It really sucks not having you here with me. Went to see Christmas lights with Jocelyn, Marlene, and Mindy and it reminded me of when you always took the girls to see the lights on East 71st...

Happy fathers day! I wish you were here to tell in person. I keep looking at stuff thinking dad would like that and I still think about you everyday. I hope you are watching over us at disney this week and you are in my heart. Love, mar and zach

Hi Honey, It's so hard to believe that it's been 5 years ago today that you died. I still have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure that I'm not just having a bad dream that you are really gone, but you will be in my thoughts always. I still remember the nights that we used to spend just sitting on the bed and holding hands, not always saying anything, but just being together meant so much to me. I can still remember you squeezing my hand and saying "I love You" right before you went to...
