Dianna and family, Sending my love and prayers to you and your dear father today on what would´ve been his 87th birthday. Although I didn´t get a chance to meet your father before he passed, I feel honored that I was able to pay my respects and visit with him at the cemetery. I´m confident he must have been someone very special to have raised such a wonderful family. I know that you´ll always remember how it felt to laugh and be loved by him. He left such a heartwarming legacy, I hope those...

I didn't know you long ,but you were a gentle man and helped us build a house that will be a lasting memory to you and we will never forget you.

To My Precious Father,

Your birthday is upon us once again, Dad! As I reflect on the past year since that very first birthday without you, I am continually reminded of your presence in my life! You remain constantly, lovingly close to my heart!

When I find myself tucked away in the quiet of my little home, my thoughts turn to memories of you. When I least expect it, you send little signs, here and there, that you are with me. A favorite song, the distant sound of a train...

One year ago today and I can't tell if it feels way longer or way shorter than that. You were and of course still are without a doubt the best grandpa in the whole world. I think about you every day and miss you always. But I had a bond with you like no one else did and I'm so grateful for that, and I'm so happy I got to share that with you. I always looked forward to your visits and getting your awesome hugs and your gum and yes I still remember to throw my rappers in the trash. I wish more...

Dad,
I can't believe a year has passed since we lost you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you beyond words. Miss your smile and miss that knock on my door every sunday for our football games. You are loved and missed so very much.

All my love Dad,
Two-Cents

To the family: As you face this day remember that God has been faithful to his promise to keep you strong and give you the courage and strength to face the past year. May God make this day full of good memories for your Dad (pappi). May this day bring you all together in love with fond memories of your Dad. Please remember he watches over you and he will share with you as you celebrate his life. May God continue to give you strength. Your love for him will keep your family values growing...

To My Dad

One year ago today ~ one of the bright lights in my life flickered one last time before fading out to embark on that journey to Heaven to be with God and all those family members and friends who passed before you! As painful as it was to watch you slip away, a great sense of relief also came over me as I realized that you would finally be freed from the suffering and anguish you endured for the previous 22 years! How grateful I was to know that you would no longer suffer...

To Our Wonderful Father (and Grandfather) on His Birthday ~

There are no words to describe the depth to which your daughters and grandchildren miss you! The pain and sorrow of your absence remains fresh and new, with constant reminders of the fact that you are no longer with us here on earth!

On this day, February 3, 2012, we are especially cognizant of the void that has been left in our hearts since the day of your passing; for on this day, you would have celebrated...
