Not sure what to say?

Hi Dad! It has been just 3 weeks since you left and we still hear your voice and wait for you to come home. Life has not been the same and never will be. You left lasting impressions on all the people you met. No person could ever fill your shoes - literally or figuratively. I think about you and pray for you everyday. I will do everything I can to take care of Mom. I love you, daddy.

You were a man who loved his family. Had strong beliefs about right and wrong. A very simple man, a man who generally seen things one way and one way only. The right way, the bottom line. You were blessed, your life was full, and now you know longer feel pain. From Pocahontas, the squaw, or better yet little white dove. May you rest in peace.

I have only warm, fond memories of my dad (father-in-law). My own father passed when I was a baby and was raised without one. Dad welcomed me into his family with open arms, and made me feel as if I were his own, and always belonged. I only wish he had come into my life much sooner, but still, I feel so blessed for the years I have had. Dad had a great sense of humor and was always teasing. Sometimes I couldnt tell when he was serious or not. I have many stories I could tell about the...

I remember countless stories that i've heard about my grandpa, and I have a lot of memories about him myself. One of the funniest I remember hearing was about how him and my dad were out in the boat on the lake, and it was raining and windy, and he had these ponchos, and grandpa went to put his on, and the thing flew around and covered his face, the way dad tells it is a lot funnier. I miss him terribly, and wish that he could have been here with us forever, but am happy that he no longer...

To my grandfaher,

Words cannot express how much I will miss you. I will miss your deep voice, your big shoes, and most of all your big and comforting hugs that were always there for every little thing. I will never forget as a little girl when we were at a wedding you would always let stand on your shoes to dance because I would always step on your feet. I remember the jar of hard candy next to your chair and the jar of lemon drops at the head of your bed and your very, very hard...

To my Father. This is just one of the many emails that he wrote me about his trips, I will miss him so much.

Bob was my first supervisor at GFS. A gentleman who set a fine example for the younger people coming into the company. He will be missed/

In memory of my grandfather, who invested his time in me and took me on many priceless camping adventures. Time is a priceless and precious gift and investing it in me has given me memories that will last a lifetime and beyond. I will love you forever. Until one day when we meet again, rest in peace grandpa.

Love Always and Forever,
Meagan
