It is been a long month with out dad. I never realized just hard it would be not to have him around. He is needed for so much on a daily basis. I know now we have his presence around constantly and I believe that is a wonderful thing to have our little angel watching over us. But I do have to admit sometimes with my sadness does come some anger at times as to why he was taken and why it had to be now. But most of the time I believe god had a better plan for him. I called his cell phone the...

Dad I know your watching over me and I am trying my best to take good care of Quentin. He misses you so much and he is hurting bad but I keep reminding him you never have to leave him now your always with him. Jalyn wants to know who going to be her Papa. I told her your always going to be her Papa and I often find her talking to you. I have a whole in my heart but I only hold my self together remebering you are with me. I love you dad. Thank you for so many memories.....

A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient,helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and...

It's been about 3 weeks since I lost my "unc". The words remain surreal. The hole left behind by Rick seems immeasurable. The world has become a little quieter....a little less full of cheer. Some would say it has a little less "BS" in it as well. But that was my "Unc". Full of wit, wisdom and just a little "BS". He would always tell Tricia....ya wanna see what Pat will look like in a few years.....then there'd be a big smile on his face...his arms stretched out...and there I was. A...

Uncle Rick was much more than just the few words which can be printed on this page. He was a man of his word, a helper to all, the light and laughter at our family gatherings, and most of all a true friend. I will miss all of the times that we would run into each other, the few minutes of laughter we would share, and the smiles that would last afterwards. I loved how you were always looking out for us, and I believe that you always will be! While our family gatherings will be a bit...
