Hey Dad. Hard to believe it's been a full 19 years since we lost you. So much has changed, except our memories of you. Chris and Elodie are living in France and welcomed baby Éva into the world this year. Such a cutie pie! Charlotte is heading to England and France this week to visit family. Our boys are growing up so fast and thriving with Desiree and I. Mom is also doing really well. Lots of positive health check-ups recently. She's staying busy and living a full life. I wish you were...

Happy 77th Birthday Dad & Happy 100th Birthday Grandma Alice! Charlotte made a lovely tribute video for you celebrating one of your Land Rover adventures. I was just talking about you last night with Dean at dinner. I don't know how you were able to give us so many treasured memories and adventures, but I cherish every one. We truly were blessed to have you and Mom. I love you Daddo!

Well Dad, the years keep ticking on. It's so hard to believe we've gone 18 full years without you now. Memories of you are as vibrant today as they were 18 years ago. You come up in conversation all the time. Life is full and everyone is healthy. We're moving forward one day at a time, although looking back it feels much faster than that. How I wish you could be here with us to experience all that life has become. Liam and Grayson would get such a kick out of knowing you and learning from...

Sam, one more thing, Chris and Elodie are going to have a baby, Grandchild #4 for us. Wish you could have met them all, they are fabulous, you would be so proud as I am. Chris and Elodie live in France near Paris so they will have part French, English and American baby.

Sam, Charlotte and I are visiting Chris in Melun, France. We just watched Top Gears final show "The Grand Tour", across Zimbabwe. It was everything you loved. It was memories of out honeymoon to Victoria Falls, it was all the wild life at the corner of Botswana when we went to put up Len for our wedding. And it ended with there wonderful memories of all there trips in all the great cars and memories of all the times you enjoyed it. And the show ended with George Harrison's songs one.of...

Happy heavenly birthday Dad! You would have been 76 today were you still here with us. Thank you for watching over us this week as Hurricane Beryl made a direct hit over our homes on the west side of Houston. It was wild sitting through the calm eye of the hurricane as it passed over. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I still miss your voice and wish I could have one more conversation with you. All my love Dad! -Ben

Hey Dad. It's been 17 years now since you took your final breaths in this world and the world hasn't looked the same since. We've all continued on with our lives doing our best most days, but I sure do wish I could share it with you. I was sharing about you with a friend yesterday and the journey we had with your illness and eventual death. A somber subject, fitting for a difficult weekend. I'm so glad we had a few months to say "goodbye" to you and I'm even more glad you didn't suffer...

Sam, I keep you in my heart and will love you forever. Our kids are full of life, joy and happiness. I only wish you could be here to enjoy our family life with us and share the love and happiness together. All my love, your Jackie!

Hi Sam, on this day of your birthday and your Mum's, our Alice, we continue to have wonderful memories of you both and we pray that you and Mum and Dad are looking down on us together and watching over us. Our lives are full of love and memories and we are all keeping well and enjoying our family time together. We love and miss you all so much. All our love, Jackie
