Dad, 15 years... I can´t even think of words to explain the pain. I miss you so much. Too much has happened in 15 years. Alyssa is in drama club and will perform in front of 100s of people! Steven is so smart. I see so much of you in him. He paces the room and wipes his face as you did. Nikki loves college and excels at OU. I know you watch over her closely! Rachel has amazed me with her strength and courage! She did great in college and has a wonderful job at the hospital! You have...

Dad,
We just celebrated your birthday on Monday. We went to mom's and had dinner together and sang happy birthday to you.I know you were with us. I cannot express how much we miss you. Nothing is the same without you. I look at Maegan and wish she could have met you, but I know she is our gift from you! I can't believe we have to go through another set of holidays without you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You are one of the most brave, caring, loving, strong people I...

Happy Birthday Bro

wish you was here so I could tell you in person.

Love ya
Little Bro

Bob,

I was on the computer and started to go through all the emails you sent me. I've kept them all and this is the first time I've gone back to read them since you were taken from us. They were hard to read but, at the same time, they were comforting. It made me feel like you were right here talking to me.
I miss you so much! There's so much I want to talk to you about. Sometimes I just look at your picture and talk to you. And sometimes I feel like you're right here...

Dad,

I was just thinking of you tonight, so I thought I would write you. I miss you. Sometimes I find myself remembering memories. One I think of the most is going to Lake-O-Springs with you. I remember how you always had me carry that HEAVY battery. I am telling you what, for an 8yr old those batteries were really heavy. I also remember how mad you used to get when I would have to go to the bathroom while we were on the boat. One time you even dropped me off at shore and when I...

BOB,
I AM SORRY THIS IS A DAY LATE, I TRYED TO PUT THIS IN YESTERDAY BUT EVERYTIME I STARTED I HAD TO STOP IT JUST HURT TO MUCH.
BOB I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY GOD HAS TAKEN YOU AND MOM FROM US SO EARILY. BUT I THANK HIM FOR GIVING YOU TO US TO LOVE. THE MEMORIES I HAVE WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER. ALL THE FAMILY GATHERINGS, THE TALKS, HOW GOOD LOOKING I THOUGHT YOU WERE WHEN YOU WOULD GET ALL DRESSED UP TO GO OUT...

Hey Bro,

It is hard to beleve it's been a year since you left us. It seems I was just talking to you last week. {Maybe I was} Every time I pass Tappan Lake I have to look twice because I swear I've seen you out there standing in your boat with the rod bent trying to reel in that trophy bass. So many times I think of the memories we had, some good and some not so good. Like the time when I got hit in the head and Grandpa rush me to the hospital while you held the towel against my head....
