Not sure what to say?

It has been a year ago today that I laid you to rest.That was the hardest thing for me to do.How I miss you walking into the doorand saying how tired you are but yu stil would go out into the garage to work on the kart. How you loved that garage. I miss the music coming out of there and how sometimes I woiuld go by the door just to watch you walk around or sit and sing to the ol songs. I miss that whiskery fae of yurs and those tired eyes. ow my Darling I know Alll the tiredness is gone and...

Well it has been a year since I last got to see you. Not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Gavin and Shyanne often talk of you. We are keeping your memory a live threw them. I know you are up there lookin down on us keeping us safe. I hope we are doing what you would like us to do. Bri is going racing this weekend Of ya could put a bug in the big mans ear would appreciate it. I believe would mean a lot to her and Shane for a win for you!! We miss you so much. But we know...

My Mike left for deer hunting this morning, and it reminded us of what was happening at this moment a year ago...a year ago tomorrow. Sometimes it seems like you'll be walking in the door...other times it seems forever. Mike and I remembered you with laughter and good memories, it is the only way to handle missing someone. There will always be a sad yet sweet memory each deer hunting season. Your Fancy Girl is an amazing woman; I know you can see that even more clearly now. Have our God...

There isn't a day that goes by that I dot think of you. It might be something the kids say, or think I seen you at work. And of course any tIme I have a margarita!! The whole family misses you deeply, often wish you was here for guidance. I sure do miss one of the best men I ever got to meet!!! Thank you for being my father in law!!!

The grandkids know that you are their guardian angel. They talk about you all the time. We all miss you deeply.Some of us need your help right now so can you kind of put a bug in the ear to reach into their heart and forgive.We need to keep the family together. I love you always. your wife Nancy

Today it is still hard without you here!
Sometimes I look around and think how unfair it is not to have you with me. It hurts everyday and I dont think I can get over it.We are starting racing again and I can still hear your voice with me at the track,then I look around and you aren't there.I never expected it to be this hard still. I work at it everyday. We are going to give it our best. I love you and I always will I guess I know I was blessed to have such a great father and...

Well Babe, today is your birthday and you would be 61. Wow, you wanted so to retire and we could do more things together. God decided you could earlier than we thought.God gave you the best Christmas present there was ,for you to go to him and then for your birthday to spend a glorious party with him. I guess I could not top that .I miss you my sweet husband and you still are leaving me presents and surprises behind for me to find. Bob you took good care of me while living and you still are....

As the days pass I think of you everyday! Hard sometimes to get it together but I know thats what you want. I am trying to be the man you always wanted me to be and keep the family strong. With every breath I take I keep you with me and promise I will do my best! Its hard to lose your dad even harder when he was your hero and bestfriend!!!!I will always love you and keep you with me! The kids miss you dearly and they dont go a day without talking about you. Its funny even now your gone you...
