Daddy,
So many things I need to tell you! I don't even know where to begin. So many things I should have said and done. You are my world. It breaks my heart so bad not being able to see you, kiss you, and hug you. I do believe You know how much I loved you! I know you are smiling down on me and will lead me to be the best I can be. If I were granted 1 wish It would be able to spend just one more day with you to show you How much of an inspiration in my life you are and never stop...

DAD, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I NEVER GOT TO SAY TO YOU, THAT I WISH I DID. IM SO THANKFUL FOR THE TIME WE GOT TO SPEND TOGETHER. IM ALSO SO THANKFUL I HAD A FATHER LIKE YOU WHO WOULD PLAY THE FATHER ROLE TO MY GIRLS. THEY LOVED YOU AS A FATHER AND A GRANDFATHER. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE GOTTEN CLOSER THAN EVER. I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US AND WILL GUIDE US THROUGH LIFE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN DAD, I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE...

Mr. Drake, You will be missed, but not forgotten. Nearly 20 years, I was a lost and confused teenager, you and your family opened your arms, home and hearts to me. I never got to thank you, I never got to tell you how much that meant to me, especially at a time when not much mattered. You made me laugh and gave me hope. Your kindness and generosity was never forgotten, and your spirit will always live on.

Bonnie, I wish I could find the words to help lift you up over these hard...

I know I haven't been a neighbor for a long period of time in Brentwood but the time that I have spent here Mr. and Mrs. Drake have been very kind and generous people. They knew the minute I had my first girl Bonnie was the first to donate outfits from her daughter.
The only thing I regret is that I didn't get to know Mr. and Mrs. Drake better.

Please Bonnie if there is anything you need ever I will be here for you!!!

Hey Amanda, Liz, and everyone else in the family. Sorry about your lose I am hear for you. You and I both losed a loving grandparent this week. My grandmother passed last night April 21,2004 at 1am. So I guess we can both cry on each other. Just remember that I love you all. Corrina

Wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

DAD I MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY, WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I SEE YOUR FACE ALONG WITH ALL OUR MEMORIES. I CAN ONLY HOPE YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU. THE MORNING YOU WERE DOWN I COULD SEE IN YOUR EYES YOU WERE STILL WITH US, AND YOU FOUGHT SO HARD, BUT GOD WANTED YOU TO GO HOME. I WILL TRY MY BEST TO MAKE YOU PROUD, BUT PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON ME TO HELP WITH THOSE HARD CHOICES. I WILL TRUELY MISS OUR FRIENDSHIP AND THE COTTAGE WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL BOB.
